Soap: My brain roams around my skull like a roomba and when it bumps into the wall I get an idea

Ghost: Brain must be fucking small then

Soap: SIMON

Gaz: *cackling*

Gaz having to kiss who actually fucks him better?

Price thinks he'll win. He's been giving it to him in the best ways. Different positions, different places. Different roles, different plays. Being the one to make him scream the loudest, he was sure his precious sergeant will choose him.

Soap was very cocky. Declaring his victory way ahead of his boy making the decision. He knew that he'll win. With the way that he always knew the perfect kinks and turn ons, how to hit it and so much more. He's seen how much his fellow sergeant melts under his touch. He already saw himself as the winner.

Ghost was silent. Never speaking or showing how much he knew he will be the one to get kissed by his pretty boy. He knew how to destroy him in bed every time they enjoyed a quiet and relaxed chat that turned into something so filthy. His demeanor in between the sheets said enough.

But what Gaz does makes them all want to die or explode. He ignores them all and just walks away. A smirk on his juicy lips. The little shit. He knew what he was doing.

Why choose one when you can have all three?

Selina: Because I kissed you!!

Battinson:

Battinson: …so was that a maybe?

Selina: Bruce!!

Battinson: You never answered the question

2 and a half PhDs

It was a sweltering day when Soap found out about how smart his LT really is.

The only thing anyone had taken notice of all day was how miserable they were, how unfairly hot the weather was, how shit the food in the mess hall was for such a miserable day.

That's all that had been talked about in the Taskforce 141 rec room, how much Gaz and Soap would kill to have a better cooling unit or someone to blot out the sun for like 5 minutes so they can cool down even a little, how stupid it would be for Ghost to be wearing his mask on what is probably the hottest day of their LIVES.

And then, like the devil, speak of him and he shall appear. Ghost walks into the room holding a couple of heavy-looking books and a notebook.

Soap briefly entertains the thought that Ghost has been abducted and replaced. The glare sent at him when he says something snarky about wearing a balaclava in this heat puts that thought to rest quickly.

Without saying a word to either of them, Ghost situates himself at the nearby table set, sets down his heavy books, arranges his notebook in a way only he can make sense of (on top of one book while the other is turned open to the left of it???), and starts writing something from the book on the left into the notebook with his brows obviously furrowed underneath the material of his mask.

No one says anything for a few minutes, tense silence filling up the space as Soap and Gaz find their balance with this new dynamic of Ghost being near enough to touch but still untouchable in the softest manner they've seen him yet.

Ghost gets out his phone after a moment, typing something quickly and looking back and forth between the notebook and the phone, then scribbling over his most recent sentence and writing something short in the book he was writing from.

"What's that?" Soap decides to break the silent spell, curiosity getting the better of him as Ghost looks more and more miffed at the open book to his left.

"Astrophysics, although I guess it's too old. A sentence or two on this page are completely wrong, I didn't notice that when I bought it." Ghost replies in the longest non-mission sentence he's spoken to them, barring the string of puns and jokes he spouted at Soap in Las Almas, his tone betraying his anger at the information stored in the book.

"Why in the bloody hell do you have an astrophysics book? And why are you taking notes from it, especially if it's so old that some data is wrong?" Gaz decides to be the next to break the short silence after that revelation, shifting in discomfort when Ghost looks up at him from beneath his heavy brow.

Looking closer at the book Ghost has in front of him, they can visibly see how old it is based on the frayed cloth-like texture of the cover and the faded pale-green color of said cover.

Instead of an answer, Ghost just shuts the book, shifts his notebook on top of it, and switches the positions of the two big books.

The two on the couch get a better look at the second book than the first when he props it up against the astrophysics book to look something else up on his phone, a good portion of the open front cover peeking over and to the side of the other book and the notebook, boasting the words "Philosophy 101" in black and yellow print with multiple drawings of well-known figures and a "The Thinker" statue picture.

Gaz and Soap look at each other in confusion, turning back to the man at the table as he makes an approving noise and flips to the back of the book to look at something, then grab the notebook from behind his current book and flip to a different page than he was writing on earlier, noting something short down.

"Everything alright?" Soap manages to get out through his rising confusion, not understanding what Ghost is doing with these books, much less taking notes on them.

"Yeah, this one's within 10 years of relevancy, so it's fine, I shoulda checked before I bought them." Ghost turns back to the front page as he says this, then reads something and picks out a page to turn to, jotting something else down on the same note page.

At this moment, Price walks in, effectively stopping Gaz from continuing in the interrogation he was about to start in on.

Price looks between the men on the couch and the man at the table, seeming to make up his mind about something before zeroing in on the books on the table. "Oh, Simon, good. I was about to ask if you're busy today so we can go over some details Laswell sent me, but I guess you're working again huh?"

At the nod he's given, Price just sits down sideways at the table and says nothing else, further confusing the two occupants of the couch as he brings out his own phone and starts seemingly texting. No follow up to that statement. No other statements to follow.

"Ok, seriously, what's happening right now?" Gaz inquires, tone veering into almost panicked and almost angry, confusion morphing the longer he goes without answers to this very bizarre chain of events.

"Simon's studying-" as an afterthought, and cutting himself off, Price turns to Ghost more fully from his slumped position on his own chair "right? I'm not misinterpreting that?" a gesture at the books on the table clarifies his use of "that" despite not necessary.

"Yeah, been bored lately, thought I would finally go for my third." Ghost's response hangs in the air as Price turns back to his sideways position and gestures to Gaz in a "there you go" way, leading to more confusion on behalf of the two sergeants.

"Very clear, thank you sir" Soap grits out between clenched teeth, impatience showing. "I would like to clarify: a third what?"

"Degree" is clipped from the table as Ghost goes to shut the book, impatience brimming from him as well. "You didn't think I was stupid did you?"

"No sir" The surprise of the answer and the accusation bleeds the tension out of Gaz in a second.

"I wouldn't expect any less than a degree or two from you, but you two are being vague about the whole thing, would it kill you to give a detail or two so we don't have to keep asking questions about what you're talking about?" Soap's irritation ebbed at the surprise as well, but he hung onto the confusion of the interaction "Since you're working on a third degree, what subjects are the others in? What subject is this one in, actually?"

Ghost tenses at the question, never quite ready to reveal information about himself and get closer to those he doesn't want to die because of him. He untenses and locks eyes with Price when he feels a boot hit his shin, a comfort to let him know that Price is there to clean up any mess Ghost may make. Like he always has been.

"My first PhD is in astrophysics, although I don't have my textbooks anymore and don't remember quite a bit of what I learned. Too many concussions. My second PhD is in aerospace engineering, I decided that knowing about space wasn't enough, building stuff to get us there was the next logical step." A pause to take a breath and determine if he lost his audience.

At the astonished nod from both men on the couch, he continues.

"Now I'm getting my PhD for philosophy, because apparently inconsistent and confusing things are an interest. Questions answered now?"

Soap stands up and points an almost accusing finger at Ghost, "You just told us you have two and a half PhDs, and you're in the military? For what?"

"Personal reasons Johnny, it doesn't matter much now anyway."

A scoff follows this statement, a hand gesturing to the books on the table. "You're obviously smarter than you give yourself credit for ever, so I think it kind of matters. I won't pry though. I'm just glad you've got something going for you that isn't 100% military."

At the shrug he gets for this, Soap just shakes his head and sits down. "Really, I shouldn't even be surprised at anything you do anymore."

Before the discussion can devolve any further into the topic of Ghost, Price makes a noise of interest at his phone, quickly turning it to Simon to see, whose eyes quickly grow round and wide as he grabs his own phone and dials a number. Ghost gathers his things and stands with them in his arms as the call seems to connect, excitement in his movements. He's halfway down the hall by the time the two sergeants gather themselves up from their stupor and shoot questioning glances at Price.

"Black hole was photographed, he really likes space" is the answer given as Price shows them a news article about said photo, then stands up to walk out himself.

Begging people who join the cod fandom and want to write fanfics; to read the wiki pages of the characters and watch cutscenes of the campaigns (they r free to watch on youtube)

The characters dont have much to go on to begin with, but they still have personalities that are very different from one another thats important to capture in your stories.

Theres been so many times ive seen writers put in their author note that they havent watched any campaigns and they are just going off on other fanfics, like, its so annoying. I end up reading the fics and they are extremely OOC that at this point its just an OC with Simons face on it or something.

Its ok to not know much about them in the beginning and get things wrong, and its ok to have headcanons that might be a bit ooc, (i do too!) but still having the personality and depth there that i can recognize that this is Ghost and this is Gaz etc.

So if you’re gonna put in effort to write a 5k+ fanfic, then u have time to read their wikis instead of depending on a few tiktok edits lmao

[strawb3rrysunda3]

not mine but pissed me off so much THE MAN IS NOT A BASIC BITCH

Also KFC?! SERIOUSLY OH MY GOD 💀

"the classics"

Aka

"I refuse to study this character there fore I will go off of basic stereotypical answers that may or may not be racist." YOU BASIC BITCH

Gaz my love my sweetie you deserve so much more that fucking KFC and McDonald's also I'm sure your pancakes are top tier, we need more than this though

Also... white monster... I'm taking that how I am rn hold on **WHITE** monster yeah ok-

Ok for y'all who want a real answer let's do some research TOGETHER.

Gaz is very quick on his feet as in his wiki for MW he completed his training course in 19 seconds! He's also very chill and extremely funny based off the dialogue in MW2 with lazwell and price, he's very dedicated and does research. He's a smart cookie 😊 he got along with Alejandro and Rudy so I say he's very much an extrovert/ people guy since everyone he's met LOVES HIM. So I'd say he's a fan of group meals, loves eating with about anyone he knows especially soap and price since he's gotten along with them for awhile. He's also feisty so he also probably eats quickly too as the military is always on the move so that's kinda obvious. For favorite foods I've done some research

Gaz was born and raised in London England and his parents are of Ghanaian decent wow! So doing some research on the foods I tried to find as home made as possible cause I'm sure England doesn't have a lot of foods from that culture so ive decided his favorite food is drum roll please!

Boiled yam or plantain with Kontomire stew! It looks soo good oh my god- with koobi fish and smoked macarel since London is literally an island their fish varatey is up there! So most of the ingredients are easy finds or can be grown to be made. Which makes an easy yet cultural home made dish that I think suits him very well with his high metabolism.

Do your research so I don't have to clean up your mess 🫶

okay hear me out, in get schwifty when morty goes to birdperson's house and theres photos of rick on the wall and theres that one photo of rick holding a baby and morty says "who's that baby" when it quite obviously seems to be him (bcs of the yellow t-shirt)

what if this is more than a joke or whatever its meant to be and that baby actually ISNT morty and it's actually KYLE, ricks old sidekick that mr nimbus mentions in mort dinner rick andre,

which is why morty doesnt recognise him bcs im sure he's seen pictures of himself as a baby, also rick looks like too young for morty to be born already tbh it would also make more sense because it doesnt really look like the morty baby we see in close rick-counters of the rick kind

which is actually an earlier episode than get schwifty and if not WHO THE FUCK IS KYLE and why is he on ricks stupid goddamn crow wheel,

if hes not relevant why bring him up again, i always thought that whos that baby joke was kinda weird anyway like it wasnt funny idk it just felt like it didnt add anything, why doesnt morty recognise himself as a baby? has he never seen a baby picture of himself?? he probably has, so that baby is not him its kyle ricks other grandkid (somehow?) and ex sidekick maybe thats even why morty wears a yellow t shirt now, bcs something tragic happened to kyle like he died or smth and so rick gave morty a yellow t shirt to like idk replace him

I DONT KNOW OK this makes less and less sense to me as i go on im sorry

“Rough night?” She murmurs, eyes knowing and kind as she peers at him over the rim of her mug. He sighs, giving in “Just nightmares'' he says. The heat of his mug seeps into his palms, warming him and smoothing out the lingering tremors in his hands. Beth hums in soft acknowledgement.  She doesn’t prod him further, and he silently thanks her for it. The few times he’d tried to explain, to recount the dreams, he couldn’t seem to find the right words. Even now, he feels broken syllables stick in his throat, sharp and pointy like glass. He sips his tea again to soothe against the feeling.

5 times Ghost has a nightmare + one time he sleeps through the night

Okay, so what I gather from this is that Colton will actually take care of everyone while Marcus and Kyle keep him safe by fighting the beasts (when Kyle isn't sleeping in his hammock)

[stellarangelic]

Alright heres my SP car headcanons. Just main four

Stan has a tesla (in eye-bleedingly bright white, thats the only color they had in stock). It's mainly for the enviroment

Kyle has just an average SUV. Grey in color. Don't have much to say for his choice, it fits in and does it's job.

Cart has a Rolls Royce. Tak. Bright purple. Stupidly extravagant and has all kinds of decorations that are waaaay too organized and well-thought-out for someone who insists when insinuated he might be serious about it, 'i dont give a rats ass about how my stuff looks. its ironic clearly i mean you guys dont just even understand me...'

Kenny has a non-descript truck in red color. All he knows is that it used to be Stuarts that he passed down to Kenny when Stuart got old enough that he didn't have the desire to go anywhere. The paint peel off patches at a time, leaving an orange-ish color in some spots. Broken wheel stuck on the back with what looks to be superglue and tape. L-wd knows which family member did that. Stuart doesn't seem to remember. Or know in the first place.

gaz and ghost's relationship is super interesting, we don't really get anything on it except for the fact that they seem to know each other (there are cutscenes they're both in in warzone and gaz pulls ghost up as they escape the prison).

and i think in the beginning that's about it. ghost being ghost he knows the man, works with him and isn't super pissed off because kyle is a competent sergeant. like most his relationships with lower rank.

gaz probably thinks the lieutenant a little eccentric with the whole mask and redacted everything bit he has going on but in the end the results of his work are what matters and they are frighteningly good.

he probably tells soap the little he knows about ghost before they get sent out to al mazrah, tells him the man is cold, scarily efficient and a bit weird but values good work. maybe even tells soap that he's not sure if the friendly approach is the best here, just keep it tactical and professional.

that alone is enough to make soap double down on it of course.

but when ghost and soap get together that's when things start to go sour between them. both have their reasons both rational and emotional. gaz is worried for his best friend, doesn't want him to get hurt in a relationship with someone as emotionally stunted as he thinks ghost is. he doesn't really think ghost deserves someone like his brilliant loving friend. and frankly free time at base is limited and he used to spend all of it joined at the hip with soap who is now dedicating a meaningful portion of that time to ghost too. especially in the early days of the relationship it takes a toll on him.

ghost for his part notices the animosity, is scared for that new and wonderful thing he has with soap because he knows gaz has a significant influence on soap. and especially at the beginning he really craves all of johnny's attention and affection. doesn't like the way soap is physically affectionate towards gaz as well and insists on spending time with him alone sometimes. he has yet to learn to trust in this new relationship. and trust really is an issue with him.

and soap? soap is probably just done with them both.

sits them down together and explains that he loves both of them and refuses to lose out on either relationship because they both decided to be idiots about it.

they don't have to like each other but he demands them to at least keep acting professional for his sake. but also if they both want more time with him they'll have to suck it up and spend time with each other too.

in a rare moment of agreeing with each other both gaz and ghost find that they'd both much rather brawl it out, but johnny is not having that, it would get so much worse if one thought they'd "won" this whole thing. so he gently reminds them that he's a human being not a toy being fought over and neither of them can really say something because rationally they know they are being assholes right then.

soap's dictated peace starts of super tense, two men tolerating each other like two big cats that are forced to close. and in the middle soap who acts like nothing is wrong, who's the sole reason that they are both so tense and at the same time keep grinning and bearing it.

in the field its worse, because that's where rank really comes into play which is not healthy in their dynamic. especially once gaz starts dating price and they get into a weird rank deadlock. but neither of them is willing to escalate. because that would make soap sad and that's the one thing they can agree on not to let happen.

so they keep tolerating each other. keep working together. keep helping each other in the field thinking "fucking hell can't look soap in the eyes if something happened to this idiot."

eventually it shifts from not making soap sad to making soap happy. ghost brings takeout from a quick trip outside base and brings some for gaz too because hanging out with him makes soap happy. gaz plans something fun for the weekend and to make soap happy makes sure it's something ghost can also come to without feeling too uncomfortable.

and soap loves it so much both his beat friend and his partner can't help but share his happiness. it's infectious.

so they get to know each other and slowly come round realise that the only threat to their relationship with soap is their relationship with each other. thus it progresses back to its neutral starting point and then steadily becomes more. they spend too much time with each other not to become friends. not that they would admit it. yet they laugh at each others jokes and sometimes even find themselves accidentally hanging out without soap.

both of them are so offended when they find themselves realising it, how the fuck could that even happen? and then soap waltzes in. who's been even happier ever since they started behaving themselves normal around each other again. soap who's love is too strong for them to stay enemies about it so instead they just accept that they never really had a chance to do anything about it but become friends.

some manly huffing noises are made and then they get on with it because soap decided its movie night.

price adamantly keeps out of it, even once things with gaz start happening. won't even talk about it except with soap when they both need to blow off some steam. i could probably (and might) write an equally long piece how that affects them all.
