#Prices Comparison

[shadow4-1]

I just think it's crazy that I haven't really seen any good Soap/Reader/Gaz fics. Now that's thee dynamic.

SoapGaz is an inherently pure relationship, even if it's overshadowed by jealousy or annoyance. They KNOW each other inside and out. They have a type of love, a type of bond that no one else connected to the 141 can really afford to express without getting into trouble. They share the same rank, duties, gear, and its expected that they share accommodations. They're never apart even when they might want to be. And their sex life is always initiated out of a sense of security and desperation. They have high sex drives and could get anyone they want, but why bother when they have each other at arms length?

Now, imagine being the third person, the third sergeant forced into their dynamic. You're plucky and resourceful and sniff out their connection from the get go. You're respectful, give them their space, and make it clear that you're no snitch. So, it's no wonder why they include you in on their activities. It's harmless at first - bar hopping, checking out new arcades and movies. The three of you fall into a rhythm and into each other. You start waking up in the same bed and sharing all of your free time together. It's quite the natural progression.

So when you catch them both in the shower one morning - and they ask you to join - you don't hesitate to say yes.

(Price and Ghost turn a blind eye to their sergeants' misbehavior. They doesn't have to police you anymore, as the three of you keep each other in check.)

PriceGaz Pining Series

Part 10/14

Prev | Next

Prompt: Weakness //

Gaz has to fucking know. There's no way he doesn't.

"Boss," comes the quiet plea. "Please go to sleep. I can take this watch."

"You're injured, Sergeant. You need the rest," Price grumbles, adjusting the fire. He watches the flames, pretends it's to make sure it stays alight. There's no risk of it going out, but he can't look back. If he looks back, his resolve will surely crumble.

"I can keep watch for a couple hours," Gaz says. The tent's fabric rustles as he climbs out. Price still won't look.

"That's a negative, Gaz. You need the rest."

"Sir..."

"That's an order," Price snaps and then—

Turns.

It's impossible not to. How could he resist the sweet sound of his voice? So he turns and is met with the saddest pleading eyes he's seen in his life. Brown eyes blink at him, filled with warmth and a melancholic edge that twists in Price's chest.

"Let me at least keep you company," Gaz says quietly, holding his side where the makeshift gauze is. "I can't sleep."

This is what he means. One look and he's putty in Gaz's hands, one demand and he's ready to offer the world on a plate. Usually his requests are at least reasonable – Price should tell him to go back to sleep, one final demand that Gaz would surely bow to.

But he can't. Mesmerized by his eyes, he can't think. He looks into the depths of them and finds truth there – that he won't be able to deny this one unreasonable request, this bad idea, this irresponsible assent.

He sighs and makes way.

"An hour. Then you go back to bed."

He's graced with a soft smile.

This is a game he'll never win.

I need money really badly so IM OPENING COMMISSIONS EVEN THO I ALREADY HAVE THEM OPEN

CHECK TOS, PRICES, DETAILS AND EXAMPLES IN MY CARRD!

I do have one (well 3 but) new type of commissions, and one those are the "rendered crayon" ones :] It's basically a rendered sketch, very fun for me to draw and also $20 per piece, but if you become a $5 kofi member you get one monthly for free ;]

Commissions are done through my Artistree, but you can also talk to me on Discord as Bubblellop!

The entirety of the MW3 campaign is honestly such bullshit and the more I think about it the more pissed off I get.

Refusing to believe that Price would've let Makarov live for even a second. Captain John Price, who has had the goal of killing Makarov for YEARS and hunting him down just... lets him live???????

The only reason I would accept him not letting Soap kill Makarov is because he wanted to do it himself For starters... they just... trust that Makarov will stay in the prison??? He's like "ah this always works out, no one has ever escaped from prison ever :)". Okay, yeah, right, sure. That's NEVER backfired at all what so ever, and y'know, obviously no one would eveeeeeer come to free him and the group that he heads definitely wouldn't swarm to get him back.

I don't give a shit if he got orders to stand down and to not do it - I'm refusing to believe John Price, after everything he's sacrificed and done, would accept that for one single second. Why on EARTH would he let Makarov live when he KNOWS that in no way, shape, or form would that ever be a good idea. I don't think there's a single order that would get him to not kill Makarov - not my Price

"Oh oh but Makarov can provide intel!" SINCE WHEN. Since when would he actually cooperate. Since when would he do anything other than gain information for himself, play mind games, and then INEVITABLY escape. HE KNOWS THAT. Everyone knows that. It's just COMMON SENSE

Makarov is nearly just telling them everything, legit point blank. TO THEIR FACES what he's going to do. And they're just like :) HE CANNOT BE MORE OBVIOUS PLEEEEEASE

There's just. So much utter bullshittery in every corner of the campaign I really wonder if the people behind it knew anything about narrative story telling or the characters they're writing for. I can slap a wombat on a keyboard and whatever it wrote would probably make more sense than the slop we were given. I can dump a can of alphabet soup in a bowl and it would make more sense

(And yes, I'm aware of the original plans of it likely not being a full game on its own but that doesn't excuse the writing or what we got. I'm AWARE of the background)

Honestly am expecting "It's Makaroving time" and he Makarovs everywhere to be the next step we're getting

We could all use a break and have some fun.

Chris-Gale: Good hearted but wants more.

Max-Wyll: General hero who will do stupid thing to save people

Chloe-Karlach: Soon to be dead life of the party (depending on choice)

Victoria-Lae'zel: Do I have to explain?

Alex-Shadowheart: A good person with a twisted upbringing and buried past.

Steph-Astarion: The universe is just unkind to them and their trauma is deep (Nearly went to Rachel)

Ryan-Halsin: Friendly, Furry, and will make love to you without shaving if you ask. The Dark Urge-Rachel: Were her actions because of birth or choice?

Skip-Minsc: Simple, friendly, easily led on.

Jed-Boo: Seemingly friendly, seemingly wise, has definitely tasted human flesh.

I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies

I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's

My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare

I had to cram so many things to store everything in there

[ilovemesomevincentprice]

I can't even.

@cosmicfyres is the creator (?) of the first gif.

Sighhhh...

I'm once again seeing a programming-teacher talk about how useful generative-AI is for their work-flow.

And it's like... There are a lot of reasons to despise that stuff:

It's stealing things

You don't know from where it's stealing things

It'll lie to you to make itself look smart

Any info you give it it'll save for the future

And like. For a lot of people? That's plenty. That's more than enough to step away from generative-AI, and to condemn its usage.

But here's what kind of really bothers me about it?

Generative-AI is a capitalistic product

It's available for free

These massive companies are pouring millions of dollars into this thing, and it's... entirely free.

It's blatantly obvious that this is some kind of scam.

It could be a "rug-pull" where they'll suddenly start demanding that you pay them exorbitant prices for access to their models. Which would make sense, because "low prices to gain market-share, high prices after establishing a monopoly" is a tried-and-true method.

Except with all of these tech-companies all creating their own versions of the things? It's blatantly obvious that trying to gain a monopoly like this is doomed to failure.

That probably means that the "real" scam-idea needs to be something different.

And it's in thinking about this that I'm suddenly reminded of one specific piece of that initial list.

Any info you give it it'll save for the future

What... exactly does this mean? Where is it saving it? Is it running analytics on what your IP-address has asked it before? Does it know who you are? Can it guess what you're doing from your prompts?

And if the answer to these questions is "no", then how difficult would it be for a developer to change that overnight?

There's an old saying in the IT-industry that "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product".

How quickly do you think a programmer could get fired for aiding-and-abetting corporate espionage?

It’s Not Your Imagination—Secondhand Stuff IS More Expensive Than Ever

Have you noticed that secondhand stuff is more expensive than it used to be? Because I absolutely have! Since I retired, I’ve been on a bit of a secondhand shopping spree. You see, I inherited almost all of my current furniture. I acquired it randomly from old roommates, friends moving across the country, my grandparents’ downsizing, and the legendary Allston Christmas. Now that work isn’t…
