god the way ghost’s voice drops when he tells soap, “you’ll need to improvise to survive”
before that, everything he says is steady but when he acknowledges that soap’ll have to do something outside his skill set, something he intimately knows to be difficult, his voice wavers. he does the same when he says, “welcome to guerrilla warfare”; it’s sombre and serious in a way he doesn’t act for the rest of the mission. if you read into it enough, he almost sounds apologetic; like he knows exactly what soap’s about to go through and wishes he didn’t have to
he keeps soap going; poking at him and making jokes, giving him tips and asking about his progress. he never lets him stop and take a second to think bc he knows the moment he does is the moment it'll all hit him; the betrayal, the pain, the fear, the deaths, all of it will drown him and if that happens, soap won't make it
he needs him to be a soldier through and through and he knows this is one of the worst kinds of battlefields you could end up on
and the only times he slips is when he acknowledges that fact
it happens again when he says, "tryin' to get you here alive and in one piece". his jovial dark humour facade drops for just a moment when he has to face the potential reality of losing soap. then he tries to pick it back up again with, "one of us has to survive to tell the tale"; completely discounting himself as a survivor to try and rally soap and make him think it’s all down to him
and soap does the same thing
when he's calling out for ghost on the radio, he's tentative, testing the frequency, then when he doesn’t get a response, he grows desperate; "ghost, this is 7-1, do you copy?"
then when ghost answers, he smooths out his voice; he hides the pain, the fear, and no matter what response you give to ghost asking if he’s injured, soap brushes it off (“i’m good”, “what’s the difference?”, “i’m not a medic”). soap decides it’s in ghost’s best interest to hide the extent of his injuries
he doesn’t know where ghost is, if he’s secure, if he has any weapons; he doesn’t even know if he’s in las almas until he says, “there’s a church, i’m headed to it”. for all he knows, he could’ve run in the complete opposite direction. if ghost knows he’s hurt, then his attention would be split between his own survival and soap’s
and soap, who lets himself be poked and prodded towards the church, needs to hide his own doubts. maybe he needs ghost to believe he'll make it so he himself can believe it ("what are my odds?" "don't make me bet against you", "think i'll live that long?" "probably not")
he all but begs ghost to tell him he'll get through it and if he knows just how bad off he is, maybe he'll change his mind. maybe he'll think he won't make it to the church
maybe he'll leave him alone for good
"you injured?"
"i’m good"
"let's find out how good you are"
#remember when i said soap kept being injured from ghost for his own good and said it was a thought for another day?#well todays the day motherfuckers its more alone meta time!#i dont think he expects ghost to give him guerrilla warfare 101 over comms#i dont think he expected him to bail altogether otherwise he wouldve sounded different calling for him#but he probably thought ghost would focus on himself a lot more than he does#even after he gets to the church its in his best interest to stay silent and unnoticed (like a good sniper should)#instead he gives away his position both by constantly talking and shooting to take out the shadows about to kill soap#they both try to hide things from the other to reassure them that theyre alright. that theyll both get out alive#and youre trying to tell me they arent in love?#bc thats not how soldiers act#no matter how they feel they have to report injuries#soap jeopardises them both by withholding that#he acts like a man when hes supposed to act like a soldier and why would he do that if not to protect simon the man instead of ghost his I.#love motherfucker!#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#we’re a team. ghost team#talk meta to me#ghoap#ghostsoap#soapghost#soap cod#john soap mactavish#ghost cod#simon ghost riley#meta#cod mw2#cod mwii#save post

Did she keep you trapped?
#critical role#ygifs#fearne#cr3#the way fearne Immediately needs to liberate trapped creatures with a desperation that makes my heart ache :) comedy?? nah Trauma :)#a lonely little girl growing up in a nightmare and her heart is so big she only sees the dream#and she grows up believing with all her love that her parents Love her. her nana Loves her. and they'll be together one day.#and then it's growing up realizing just how dark the shadows were around her but no her home was always lovely it has to be#and it's not their fault if something hurts. if anything it's hers right. shes the solution for them of course she was the problem after al#the nana she loves can't be the hag who took her for a prize the parents she's searching for can't have left her behind.#her home was never a cage she just Has to free every trapped creature she sees#she'll laugh lightly and often and shrug it all away because it's not heavy. it doesn't hurt her. she's fine. she's fearne.#love nana morri to death also a thousand percent sure she modified little fearne's memory A Ton to keep her :).#how times did fearne try to run away crying only to be given a grin and a postcard and those fears are just one more thing taken from her#and it's all so lovely and nothing hurts and she's totally fine#my galpaloway

me connecting that bit where guillermo talks about them not being a fit and him finding a place at his job to nandor saying he's freeing guillermo from his duties and when he says he found a place where he feels like he belongs at the wellness center:
#UGHHHHHH#my boy need therapy asap#you're not thinking righttttttttt#what we do in the shadows#wwdits#guillermo de la cruz#nandor the relentless#nandermo#wwdits spoilers#wwdits season 6#season 6 spoilers#wwdits s6#wwdits s6 spoilers#throwing up my thoughts onto tumblr again#you know what? maybe we should put him in the cage again#I mean sure it lead to nandor's super slumber and mentally getting worst#so like it would NOT help guillermo#but like#maybe my guy needs a bit of a time out#and his boss murdered

@adhd-sonic-the-hedgehog's Flicky Omega because he's oh so small and angry and I love him
#idk what he just blew up but people are dead probably#not sure if you had any lore behind it but i was thinking like rouge and shadow had no idea about this until omega gets like super-#-damaged one day and so he's gotta live as a bird till his body is rebuilt and he's so mad about it that he commits triple the amount of-#-felonies. you know. as a treat. they did make fun of him a little at first tho cuz thats what families do#e 123 omega#shadow the hedgehog#rouge the bat#team dark#sth#my art <3#okey I think I've successfully beat back my art block so time to have a cage fight with those requests

Ladies and gentlemen:
The Sisterhood of Shadows! 🎸🎶
I cannot be the only one who thought they would make a sickass band while watching MK Legends: Cage Match!
I hate that they are just jobbers there, but I LOVE their rockstar desings!
🎹 Sareena definitely has my favourite design! Her outfit is so pretty and messy curls fit her so well and they were so much fun to make!
🎸 And y'all know I'm a curly Jataaka believer so I brought the queen's crown back! Her outfit fits the vibes I usually give her so I dig it!
🥁 Kia's hair was pretty fun so I kept it, and her outfit though simple was so stylish, I really like it!
And I know Cage Match set up Sareena to be the the main lead, and that's cool and she was pretty badass, buuuuuuut, I think even Sareena herself will agree Jataaka is the true main lead of this band! 👑
I wanted to try a different style, I hope y'all like it!
Close-ups:
And reference:
Let's be real, the are MK's Hex Girls! 🖤
@mikka-minns @thedragonholder @madamealtruist @orbitinytheworld @rasta-bot
#Jataaka leads the sisterhood#and also netherrealm#you cannot change my mind#jataaka#kia#sareena#sisterhood of shadows#bi han and cyrax are screaming in the crowd#jataaka is aroace so no dates for her#but she's got all her allies and subjects rooting for her#hex girls#<- inspiration#mortal kombat legends#cage match#mk kia

If it's okay, an art request of Shadow dragging Eclipse by the tail while both look very upset (they're going to therapy)
'course its ok!!!
actually, I might have had a bit too much fun with this
Clippie really doesn't want to go, Shadow doesn't want to get Wade mad, and you get an extra Silver trailing behind with Plush and Shadow's motorcycle book.
now I'm no painter nor do i do backgrounds very often because inanimate objects are ridiculously hard for me BUT!!!
for this family? its worth it. :D
#foserdraws#sonic the hedgehog#eclipse the darkling#shadow the hedgehog#silver the hedgehog#shadow whipple#silver whipple#eclipse whipple#wfma#i kinda forgot what silver's bag is like but i tried my best#smokey's cage is also there!!#i struggled to hard on Lily crusher of skulls so much#i also might have forgotten what color Eclipse's hoodie is but i associate him with purple now#also those orchids are real
