soap's whole deal being sniper and demolitions gets me going bc on the surface they sound so different but when you get into it, you realise it's bc soap's smart
sniping is all math; calculating distances and wind interference and bullet drop. something i think people overlook is he was listed as a sniper first so it can be implied that he's better at it than demolitions. he does more sniping in both campaigns than demolitions work; in capture or kill, ghost specifically calls on him to take down the aq snipers
and demolitions is math with a hit of chemistry; knowing what mixes with what, knowing how much to use, recognising environmental factors and adjusting accordingly. it's not just about the boom; so much work goes into contained/ planned explosions. especially when having enough power for a breacher charge and not bringing down the whole building is the difference between mission success and failure
the chemical bombs he makes in alone can't just be any old cleaners, they have to have the correct reaction to each other; he just knew off the top of his head what would mix with what to create what reaction. he would also potentially have to recognise them by sight/smell bc they would’ve been written in spanish
soap would also have to know architecture; recognising structural integrity and weak points so he knows exactly where to plant a charge to bring it down and how it'll come down
he has an incredible soldier's mind people just forget that bc he's sociable which itself is a skill
we know he tends to buck against orders he doesn't agree with like when he pushes back against ghost in capture or kill and shepherd when he tells them to release hassan
he gets closer to people and sees if he can trust them and that's when he follows them without question. really think about how he talks to alejandro and rudy; he asks about their home and alejandro's family and rudy's relationship with him. those aren't questions you ask a stranger after a few hours of knowing them. that's not even touching on his relationship with ghost
he also deliberately brings people of higher ranks down to his level; talking informally with ghost and giving him a shoulder punch, addressing alejandro (a colonel!!) by his first name and rudy by his nickname despite literally just meeting them. he personalises all of them and it’s in direct opposition to the reason most characters do that; it’s not due to insubordination or lack of respect, the more he respects and trusts someone, the more casual he is with them
he digs into people; he wants to know what makes them tick and that determines if he can one, trust them and two, follow their orders. once he decides that, he's the ultimate soldier; he bleeds loyalty which makes him vicious when that loyalty is taken for granted
he isn't naive or bubbly or insecure; he's an incredibly smart and aware soldier. he's aggressive and bloodthirsty and loyal and intuitive and i love him so much
#i cant believe i never posted the soap meta that got me twitter famous™️💅#as with damn near every piece of characterisation in this franchise soaps is only apparent in subtext and connecting tiny little dots#it is very easy to just pick up his surface personality and think thats all he is#but soaps not a sunshine character#hes not super friendly or bright#hes just willing to talk to people and hes paired up with ghost who never wants to start a conversation#every time i see soap presented as this bubbly airhead thats super sweet and just blows stuff up i lose a year off my life#and i dont blame people for getting this vibe from him but im begging you to look a lil deeper#this isnt getting into his anger or the fact that he is a soldier which automatically makes him a wee bit fucked up#like he is hyperviolent and takes joy in it#we all know ghosts snuff film joke but soaps the one who responds positively to it#he returns the joke and only calls him out on it when he says he wont watch it more than once and even then its teasing not grossed out#and if we take the ‘he tried to join the military at 16’ factoid from 09 as current canon then he very easily could have a rough home life#no one tries to repeatedly join the military early without having some kind of problems#soap knows his worth and his abilities you dont get to be as good and specialised as he is without being completely sure of yourself#we know ghost has an ego but soap constantly butts up against it with his own affirmations#‘you wanna be better than me johnny’ ‘maybe i already am/i will be’ ‘a little helps not so bad eh lt’#being a sniper makes me hate the ‘cant sit still’ hc hes literally an sas sniper he wouldnt be complaining after a few hours of overwatch#i like the adhd hc and maybe he fidgets in his day to day life but the second hes at work hes At Work#tldr soap could be just as complex a character as ghost if cod would stop treating their campaigns as an afterthought and actually commit#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#we’re a team. ghost team#talk meta to me#john soap mactavish#soap cod#cod mw2#soapghost#save post#call of duty modern warfare#cod meta

Modern AU and it’s Halloween. You and Diluc are binging horror movies together, and you hug him because you’re scared.
“I don’t like the jumpscares!” You tell him, burying your face on his chest.
“Then we should watch something else instead,” Diluc shortly replies, with a small yet teasing smile on his face.
“No!”
After being lectured about how ‘not watching horror movies during Halloween is a crime,’ Diluc allows you to cuddle him the rest of the night. He eventually hugs you back as an act of comfort when there’s a particular scene where you’re squealing when the ghost chases the main leads. He lets himself snicker to the amusing comments you make: ‘WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS MAKE STUPID CHOICES IN THESE?” or “it’s his damn fault for turning around!”
And once it’s all and done, Diluc has to always remind himself that you guys are just friends. That there’s nothing going on between you two, even if you clutched onto his hand tightly during that one scene where the main character kissed his love interest before the cliché sacrifice.
That following day, while eating on a hamburger joint with Kaeya—because his younger brother craved for something so specific that Diluc couldn’t remember—Diluc almost falls off his seat because of him.
“What?”
“You heard me.” Kaeya smirks. “They’re not afraid of horror movies.“
“I refuse to believe that, they—“ You didn’t let go of him last night, not even once. You were shaking. You were almost crying.
“I’ve watched an Insidious movie with them and they didn’t even flinch. Instead, they laughed along with me.” Kaeya’s smirk widens, and Diluc’s face burns. “So? You still ain’t convinced?”
#diluc x reader#HALLOWEEN IS NOT OVER#jk I’m GOOD WITH THIS#ehe#kaeya: guess that they didn’t give you a treat but a TRICK huh#also kaeya: but you liked this trick so it wouldn’t matter anyway huh diluc#butter.spread

I am once again switching up the way I draw this dude because I am indecisive. I went for how I would naturally draw a character with his features rather than trying to replicate the original style and idk if it captures the right vibe but I’m posting it anyway because I spent too long on it.
#he wears a vest to ME#rip his noodly limbs but sometimes I want to draw anatomically correct limbs#as a treat#one of a few things me and the 3D movie can agree on is him wearing a vest#they understand#eh time for tags#my art#lupin iii#lupin the third#daisuke jigen#jigen#jigen daisuke

Constant cycle of “frequent emotional spending is bad and little treats are only for when you NEED it” but also “every day is a fresh hell and a little treat is the only thing keeping me from being homicidal, also I NEED it”
#the only upside is agonizing about this as long as I do#usually brings the day to the time when a Little Treat is no longer really viable so#eh

Gimme a number 5! :D
Chase's face is contorted in badly disguised panic as he stands there, finials practically brushing the lights on his back, waiting for instruction.
Charlie tries desperately not to laugh, coughing into his fist. "I am so sorry," he says, voice strained, as Mayor Luskey forces his way out of the car, fuming.
"BURNS!" he snarls, his toupee slightly askew, and he nearly trips over the grappler as he storms up to him. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"
"So sorry," Charlie repeats, noticing that Chase has started nervously wringing his hands. "The police bot noticed your car was going above the speed limit and wasn't responding to the flashing lights, so he- uh, the AI, I mean- took the next logical step." He gestures at the scene. "Hence the grappler."
Chase had deployed it without asking, and Charlie hadn't even known what happened until the mayor's car had suddenly stopped and started swerving in front of them, caught in a trap of yellow nylon webbing.
"Well- well- fix it!" Mayor Luskey turns on his poor chauffeur and starts shouting again, and Charlie notices the slight sigh of relief from Chase as the attention is taken off them.
"Police bot," Charlie orders, biting back his smile, "fix this please."
"Yes sir," Chase says, sounding much less confident than usual.
-------------------------------
"I didn't even know you had a grappler," Charlie pipes up as they roll into the firehouse's driveway. "My last patrol car sure didn't."
"It was equipment I had back on Cybertron," Chase explains as the garage door closes behind them, then transforms when Charlie steps out. "I just haven't had a reason to use it until now."
"Well, uh, good to know," Charlie says, patting his hands on his hips. "Just maybe ask first next time?"
"Of course," Chase hums, and his finials flatten against his helm.
"So, do you have any other equipment you're holding out on me?" Charlie continues teasingly, and Chase's finials cant back.
"No," he answers, sounding almost disappointed. "A question better suited for Heatwave. I have not seen him use any of his arsenal."
"Really?" They step on the lift together. Normally Charlie would go back upstairs, but now he's curious. "What kinds of equipment?"
"I'd imagine it's similar." Chase taps his foot against the ground as the lift starts down. "He's got a kit hand."
"What's that?"
"Heatwave!" Chase addresses the fire bot instead, who's up on one of the pillars with the training dummy.
"What?" he calls back, leaning against it.
Chase gestures to Charlie. "He's curious about your equipment."
Heatwave frowns. "...What equipment?"
"Your firefighting equipment. You hand." Chase gestures abstractly.
"Oh." Heatwave jumps down and Chase offers his hand to Charlie, who climbs into it, and he's deposited onto Chase's shoulder for a better view. "Most of it's only accessible in my alt mode, but I got a few things."
He sticks his forearm out and a panel retracts. "Winch," he says, gesturing at it. "Got them on both sides. And my hand's kit." His left hand retracts back into his forearm, and he transforms tools out in rapid succession, including but not limited to a sledgehammer, an axe, a halligan, and a chainsaw. His hand's back in a few moments, and he offers Charlie a shrug. "I don't really have a need for them. I can usually brute force my way through any of the emergencies you guys have."
"True," Charlie hums, "but it's good to know. Thank you."
Heatwave blinks, then nods, turning away and going back to his dummy. Charlie looks to Chase. "Do the others have equipment like that, or, uh, 'kit' hands?"
Chase's finial flicks. "Why don't we go ask?" he says, voice colored with an excited lilt.
Charlie gets the distinct impression he's being included on something important, but he can't even begin to be sure of what. So he just smiles, pats Chase on the cheek, and lets him take him to the others.
#more heatwave and chase#can you tell who my favorites are#also them carrying the humans on their shoulders..... they should've done that more often#anyways more on chase's backstory: I think in his enforcer cohort knowing what equipment and weapons each mech had was important to know#like knowing your partner so well you can grab their weapon out of their subspace if you need it#so it's like. accepting charlie into his cohort and doing cohort activites with him#it's very important to him#I should do proper backstory for each of the rb in this au tbh cause I've written a LOT and just sprinkled it here or there#eh some other time#but yeah heatwave just brute forces his way through every problem which I mean fair#he doesn't need hydraulic stuff but I think he should have a chainsaw for a hand#as a treat#maccadam#transformers#transformers rescue bots#rescue bots#tfrb chase#chief burns#tfrb heatwave#woosh answers#thanks for the ask!!#s&m ask game#smoke and mirrors au#ask game

individual drawings under the cut:
#pancake's art#rolling with difficulty#rwd blue#rwd finbar#rwd kyana#rwd vhas#rwd dani#rwd vr la#vhas can have a little bit of hair. as a treat.#it was kinda hard figuring out what the lich queens armour would look like on vhas but we got there#im never drawing the staff of the clockwork storm again. god.#meant to post this yesterday but decided to spend most of today drawing a fun pattern as the background#i should do that more often its fun#sunny should probably be bigger but eh#also their heights are definitely not to scale. but I do not bother to keep track of such trifles

catch me looking up nightingale symbolisms for tales of the passerine. if danny's using the name of a songbird for a hero name, regardless of familial connections, i will utilize the symbolism tied to the bird. Anyways general gist of the nightingale symbolism i've seen, other than what wikipedia told me, is that nightingales were frequently symbolisms of spring renewal, loss/death, love, etc. catch me about to incorporate music into Danny's character
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#tales of the passerine au#musician danny ftw. as someone who loves music i am more than happy to make this boy a frequent singer. this au is still baby#i can squeeze singer/musician danny in pr easily.#some favorite lines i saw while looking for symbolisms is that nightingales in roman culture were associated with venus and were also said#to provide comfort in the hours of darkness. eh eh? i saw a summary that in chinese folklore they were seen as symbols of hope#it didn't specify which dynasty but it did say it was a famous tale. cite also mentioned that in John Keats' “Ode to a Nightingale”#the bird’s enchanting song transports the poet to a world of transcendent beauty providing a temporary escape from the suffering and imperm#anyways looks like nightingales in gist symbolize comfort in dark times among other things#while robins in gist symbolize renewal. celebration of life. good luck. rebirth.#nightingale's color scheme in my mind is very much a dark purple-blue and black. maybe some gray too.#he'll probably try and ditch the black and white just out of paranoia. argh i need to come up with a suit design nooooo. superhero suit#design is my weakkkest design skill. have to balance between practical and a unique silhouette thats in line with their character.#esp since danny's not using his ghost half to be nightingale -- way too risky. also not using his powers/using them very little.#maybe i can work in an ocarina batman reference lmaoo. i can lean into comic/cartoon realism and have fun with that. as a treat

spy whumpee is discovered, and the enraged and betrayed people they were spying on take all their anger out on them, beating them bloody until they're practically holding onto life by a thread, then tossing them in a cell and leaving them for interrogation, if they don't die from their injuries first.
whumpee's squad back home begins to get concerned after whumpee doesn't give them their daily update. they send whumpee a message of their own... and get nothing back.
concern turning to genuine worry and fear for their friend, leader sends caretaker and two other teammates to go find whumpee, and bring them back if needed.
when whumpee wakes up again, they're laying in a military hospital. they feel like they've been run over by a semi-truck, but they turn their head to see their hand intertwined with caretaker's, who had fallen asleep in a chair at their side, and the deepest relief they've ever felt washes over them as they realize they're safe.
#whump#whump prompts#military whump#soldier whump#mine#this one feels a little lacking but eh#i feel like w/ spy whumpees it's always like#the people they're spying FOR treat them like shit and they end up defecting to the other side for real#OR neither side treats them like a person and it's just misery all around#and i don't mind either of those#but i wanted to do a spy whumpee who's team really cares about them and will rush in to bring them home at the slightest hint of danger

I've not been feeling well lately, and I've been alternating between watching old Disney movies and reading to take my mind off being sick.
Today in my reading, I re-read my favourite Warhammer 40k story, Voice of Experience, and I was inspired to draw some of my favourite scenes. Behold my silly scribbles of Gue'vesa'vres Kalice Arkady and Por'ui Kau'kartyr. Spoilers under the cut! :D
I love t'au so much
I subscribe to the "t'au have blue blood" side of the debate.
I also coincidentally subscribe to the "boy t'au have 'i' nose, girl t'au have 'y' nose" side of the debate, but the author of Voice of Experience has stated that Kartyr has a "y" nose despite being a boy. Who am I to disagree? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Badass buddy cop duo
I wish there was a whole series of novels about themmmm
#warhammer 40k#wh40k#t'au#t'au empire#art#my art#traditional art#fanart#unpolished art#I'm sick and should probably go to bed#but bed is so far away and sketchbook is right here...#Tempted to graphic-novelise the whole short story just as a treat for myself on bad days#but I could also work on my own original t'au comic for that so eh#if you haven't read Voice of Experience I recommend it!#It's one of my favourite warhammer stories#have a fabulous day y'all!! xoxo
