Ghost cuddling with Soap when his anxiety gets really bad, so bad that he's genuinely crying and dead silent. He knows Soap is horribly overstimulated, and Ghost's room has always and will always be sensory safe for both of them.

So they cuddle on those rare nights, when Soap's hit his limit and just needs to cry in someone's arms, because Ghost's the only one who understands.

#soap with anxiety my beloved #obviously its not crippling #he wouldn't be in the military if it was #but there are days where it culminates #and ghost is there for him #every time #honestly im projecting and yearning for someone who's not my parents or siblings to come cuddle me and tell me that it'll all be okay #so i give soap that instead :3 #call of duty #simon ghost riley #john soap mactavish #call of duty mw2 #ghoap #ghostsoap #elo rambles

Galactic Emperor Mitth'raw'nuruodo

Nothing unusual ver. 2 - under the last publication in other social networks, many suggested that if Vanto and Faro are Grand Admirals, so…

…In the end, the result was Emperor Mitth'raw'nuruodo.

Combined the white uniform of the Imperial fleet and elements from the uniform of the Chiss fleet. Palpi's wardrobe clearly would not have suited Thrawn's taste.

Grand Admiral Vanto and Grand Admiral Faro

Interview Question for Etsushir:

What was the vibe like as a foot soldier during the suppression of the North Finn Rebellion? Did it feel doomed from the start or did it only fall apart once the Odomache was assaulted and killed?

#Etsushir is generally very quiet and guarded and wouldn't give this extensive of a response to most people but he CAN be this #talkative when he's comfortable and being approached genuinely as a peer. He has a lot on his mind.#wrt the war:#Basically what happened was that the approach was EXTREMELY confident. The first Imperial Wardi invasion of Finnerich was an almost #one-sided affair. The Wardi side had superiority in numbers + training + weaponry. The Finns had some basal fire lances but no #muskets (and the majority had no firearms whatsoever)#But this time around the rebelling Finns had reverse engineered the muskets and produced their own. Most not of #the same quality as the Wardi muskets due to lack of resources but more than enough to be a threat #They distributed these firearms strategically by need while the Wardi forces distributed their own by rank and among elite #groups of soldiers. Which was a functional strategy to distribute this (very limited) resource when engaged in conventional #warfare but the Finns engaged primarily through guerilla tactics and thus very effectively countered the Wardi military organization.#This resulted in situations where large groups of footsoldiers armed with spears and bows were slaughtered and routed by like #A Single Guy with a gun hiding in ambush. Which was extremely demoralizing #The Wardi military forces were also plagued with infighting which only worsened when this invasion turned out to Not be a cakewalk #which made them slow and ineffective to adjust to the Finns' tactics and further damaged their own troops' morale.#Bottom line being that most of the common footsoldiers got a distinct feeling that they were Fucked pretty soon after it all began #etsushir #ask meme

This is the only thing I'm going to say about the election until it's over:

Anyone who did not vote for Harris or who attempted to dissuade people from voting for Harris, you are indirectly responsible for whatever shit Donald Trump does if he gets elected. That blood is primarily on his hands, yes. But it is also on yours. I hope you can live with that because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to.

#'but gaza' trump wants TO OBLITERATE THEM. HE LITERALLY WANTS THERE TO BE NOTHING LEFT OF GAZA AT ALL. WHY DO YOU THINK #I DON'T WANT HIM IN POWER?????#yeah I said I wouldn't election post I lied sorry.#I know most of you don't actually care what happens to american citizens because we're all Violent Hypocrites who should kill ourselves #and somehow every single civilian is responsible for the actions of a military and government that comparatively few of us are actually par #of but FUCKING HELL. You don't care about THE PEOPLE OF GAZA??? Because that's what you're telling me if you're in favor of #doing anything OTHER than the most likely path to get trump out of politics. which is voting for the candidate DIRECTLY OPPOSING HIM.#the thing about america being an empire that needs to die. is that before it dies. it is still affecting the rest of the world.#I can't make you care about me and my loved ones. but I am IMPLORING you to have some fucking compassion for all the people #who are going to be DEEPLY negatively affected elsewhere if trump gets into power.#THEIR HARM. THEIR DEATHS. ARE ON /YOU/ IF YOU DID ANYTHING TO FACILITATE TRUMP'S VICTORY IF THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.#I don't believe most of you actually have any amount of the sympathy and compassion for others you claim to have.#I don't think any of the causes you throw yourself behind are actually meaningful to you. I don't think any of this is based on a #genuine desire to build a better world. I think you just want your Internet friends to think you are a Good Person.#if I see anyone. ANYONE. acting like a trump presidency is what we 'deserve'. or that it's necessary to 'teach [xyz] a lesson'#I am NEVER speaking to you again I don't care how long I've known you.#us politics #I am a disabled queer woman. almost everybody I love is also disabled and queer. you think we're acceptable collateral damage fine.#but don't cry that I'm being a bitch if I say that that makes me not trust you and not want to have anything to do with you.

*me immediately after going through a terrifying and traumatic experience* haha yeah I guess it was rough but I'm fine now like I'm totally chill. It was kinda funny actually if you think about it

#GUESS WHO GOT A PIERCING INFECTION SO BAD OVERNIGHT SHE HAD TO RUSH TO THE HOSPITAL #AND GET SURGERY TO REMOVE IT BC THE METAL WAS BURROWING ITSELF INSIDE HER LIP #yep that was meee :3 #man. it sounds so silly now. like that probably shouldn't have made me panic nearly as much as it did #but you have to understand at the time it was terrifying #I noticed my lip was a bit swollen earlier in the night but I was like ok it's probably nothing serious #I put some ice on it hoping it would be back to normal after I got some sleep #then I woke up at like 5:30 AM with my lip super swollen and my lip piercing literally burying itself inside my flesh #I tried pushing it back out a bit and blood and pus started coming out so yk I started panicking #so I went upstairs and I asked my mom to drive me to the hospital #luckily we have free healthcare in brazil and the hospital was basically empty(this was on sunday)#but when I got there they told me the doctor wouldn't arrive until 8AM and it was like 6:45 at that point #so I REALLY started panicking 🫠 bc I could feel like the piercing kept burying itself more deeply like #I felt like the skin inside my lip was going to close around it and I was terrified bc I had no idea what to do #and I was scared it might make things worse #but all I could do was sit there and wait and so I started having a panic attack #luckily my mom was there with me the whole time so at least I didn't feel alone #and then I just. waited for it to end. and then tried to keep myself distracted until the doctor got there #I got treated by military doctors! sjdjcjck the army has been giving additional support for hospitals in my city #bc of the floods some health units are currently closed and demand got higher so they needed extra support there #so an army doctor performed my surgery(inside an army tent no less ajfjjfkf maybe not ideal but. functional)#he was so nice?? like probably the calmest most careful doctor I've ever been treated by #I still had a bit of a nervous breakdown again after the surgery but that was bc I'd never been through something like that before #I got anesthesia obvs but I still felt the tug when he cut into my skin to remove the piercing and did my stitches #so my mind started cooking up all these horrible scenarios of how everything could go wrong and I was gonna die #cried on the doctor's table. 👍🏻 awesome #but he and his assistant were super nice about it she even offered me a hug #but anyway in the end I finally calmed down and got some medication #now I'm all stitched up with my little bloated lip eating soup out of a straw 👍🏻 but I'm ALIVE and I'm just glad it's all over fjjvjkf #sleep.txt

I dislike takes that Danse would be just as conservative in modernized aus when it's clearly shown his staunch views of things come from his time in the Brotherhood and his deep-rooted desire to belong to something with a greater purpose.

Not to mention lines that show much more open-mindedness that get overlooked for his harsher sentiments when you first meet him. Like the oppurtunity to be a part of something is why Danse fell so far into Brotherhood dogma and it doesn't negate the offense things he does but I feel like it's just lazy to be like "hmmm he'd def be racist" just so it aligns to his BoS beliefs.

#like i genuinely think he would like not fall into the military if he was in modern times because of all the other things he could do #he clearly has a passion for tech and mods and likely would find himself more useful as like a mechanic like at most hes one of those range #types or something but I feel like people equate his seriousness and him being a military man to closemindedness when its like having to ge #a new view point like we really dont know what he believed in before the BoS if he believed in anything at all outside of selling scrap to #survive before basically having an army recruiter have him join one of the scariest factions like why is the BoS so fucking violent???#like the BoS operates in such a way cause there is no civilian population like everyone is something or training to be so they arent really #fighting for anything but themselves at this point which is just a feedback loop of gaining more power and is not equatable to real #military people due to the fact most of the recruits are really born and bred to be soliders while say irl you have a family and country to #fight for and return to outside the military which is def grounding as Danse wouldn't be in the army 24/7 like in canon #idk its odd to me when a character that is has fantastic racism ergo the trope of bigotry to fake races people try to translate it to real #life especially when those races have not equivalent like tell me what is the irl equal to a fucking ghoul or super mutant like????#racism is not like a funny headcanon like making him a defrosting prude or by the book is whatever but he would not be a bigot just like a #narc or some shit hed tell on me for loitering but I know hed tear apart each voting party and likely the military for being self serving #and like knows all about it and it makes him sound like a politics nut but its more annoyance like I have such strong feelings about #characters who would be marginially better if they were not victums to the military like yes I believe we can fix Danse he just needs to #be around not war/the military for like a week and see people be happy existing like he doesnt know how to do that but this is a weird take #ive seen mostly from white fans that makes me super uncomfy like ur weird #anyway still fuck the brotherhood everyone is so rude like damn i know its the east coast but can we get a little hospitality fuck you #maccready was right brotherhood of squeal more like it dont worry porky we'll get you out (danse is porky btw)#fallout #fallout 4 #fo4 #paladin danse

New "TWOW announcement is coming soon" rumor to be delusional about just launched, I'm up

#wouldn't be me if I didn't maintain my optimism of getting TWOW by any means necessary #by far the flimsiest rumor to date (a crumb of a crumb truly) but that's not gonna stop me from being delusional #it's not about the /quality/ it's about the quantity of rumors and mentions we've been getting recently that intrigues me #the dominoes have long since lined up now they just need a little push 😁#/it's about the HOTD premiere/ that's exactly what George wants you to think #him posting that article about poor adaptations was actually a hint that he was going to drop TWOW around the same time as HOTD season 2 #to overshadow the premiere and spite the writers for butchering his work #the winds of winter are blowing and that book is so close I can taste it (huffing military grade copium)#I manifested a damn cookbook I can manifest this

Does anyone else plan out a whole story, get the timeline all right, match up the world events, write a bunch if stuff for it, and then one person's opinion on a character's age makes you question everything???

#me currently with peter's age #my dad said with absolute certainty that peter had to be 14 or 15 in the movie (he's seen it) while i put him at 16 and like... he said it #so confidently he's a man peter is a boy i feel like he has a lot more weight in this discussion than i do also by virtue of being older he #is closer to that time period when everyone grew up quicker and younger #but if i back down even a year that would throw off everything i have planned out relating to the war #and peter's military career i would have to figure out all over again #and that would mean he wouldn't end up in palastine to meet tarek and tarek is so important he matters a lot #i can't change everything now! why is this bothering me so much. i should probably go change out of my pyjamas and try to forget about it

The hyper-veneration and almost fetishization of the USA's troops have honestly given rise for some of the worst types of people who want power without effort, I think.

It's why you see some entitled asshole troop who think they can do whatever to civilians because we "owe" them for them "putting their lives on the line" or the type of person who thinks they personally will stick it to a random Afghan civilian for what "their people" did on 9/11 (a racist institution fostering racism? Colour me shocked (sarcasm)).

As a US citizen, I'm personally really concerned with this attitude we have toward troops. As somebody who hates the institution of the military, I also hate that it fosters a genuinely toxic mindset - it's much like the mindset that is instilled in cops; however, when you are overseas, the people you harm are not typically US civilians, so people can sweep under the rug the injustice of terrorizing civilians who aren't "like us."

#politics #had somebody go 'do you know i am a VETERAN?!?!?!?!' to justify why he was being a complete knobhead...#...chances are he hasn't stepped foot on a military base sure but... it wouldn't shock me if he WERE in the military...#...like my dad was enlisted in the aftermath of 9/11 and the amount of meatheads who ranted and raved about 'getting back'...#...like they were batman going after the joker was EMBARRASSING. you aren't a comic book hero ffs...#...and honestly that's what broke the illusion of the troops being like... uniquely special...#...and the military thrives off of this illusion because it is its shield. the more we venerate this idea of the American Hero...#...the more justification it has to continue existing as it does.#gd bless the people victimized by the US military complex. the people suffering the most from US occupation #being a military kid really made me hate the military industial complex at an early age lol #fuck the military

wait there are actually people out there who think roy would be completely 100% useless in a fight without his alchemy???????

I cannot even begin to express how much I desperately hope any and all posts I've seen that even remotely imply this are joking, because, unfortunately, yeah, some people do genuinely seem to believe that, and it drives me insane.

#fullmetal alchemist #Roy Mustang #I'm sure it's like 80% because the shows/manga play up the ''useless in the rain'' jokes way too much #and I don't think we ever see him actually fight without his alchemy #but regardless of all that I still think it's fucking obvious that the trained military Colonel would know hand-to-hand combat #he just clearly doesn't favour it #I'm not saying he'd be fucking *amazing* at it #he obviously favours his alchemy for a reason #I'm saying claiming he wouldn't know how (which is what you're saying when you claim he'd be useless without his alchemy) is insane #knowing how to defend yourself in a pinch with little resources is quite literally a requirement to becoming a fucking soldier #you'd be piss poor at your fucking job if you caved the second you got unarmed :/

I desperately need the Thrawn stans (specifically novel Thrawn Stans) to remember that Thrawns whole deal is rebuilding the Empire and fighting the New Republic.

#I see so many people saying Thrawn wouldn't attack the New Republic when that's literally his whole deal.#He's the guy who rebuilds the Empire and attacks the Republic.#The famous story he's in that influenced the rest of Star Wars is about him trying to rebuild the Empire and destroy the Republic.#Also Thrawns evil.#I need you to remember that Thrawns an evil imperialist. His justifications for the Empire are the same as the British Empire used in Afric #Also Thrawns a crap choice to protect the Galaxy from a larger threat.#In Legends he would've lost brutally to the Yuuzhan Vong who were defeated by the Jedi and only ever could've been defeated by the Jedi.#Thrawn is playing military sci-fi in a Faerie Tale world and keeps making the shocked Pikachu expression when the Faerie Tale stuff shows u #The only difference between Thrawns Empire and the Emperors is that Thrawn would build fleets instead of Planet Killers.#In new Canon I think the Jedi would grind the Grysk into the ground before they even captured 3 worlds outside the Unknown Regions.#star wars ahsoka #star wars #grand admiral thrawn #thrawn #ahsoka tano #star wars thrawn #Ahsoka series #The Yuuzhan Vong lost because of a mix of internal revolution and being spread thin militarily #Thrawn would have successfully contained the Yuuzhan Vong invasion for a while but ultimately his forces would've become distracted.#Also the YV would've allied with Rebel Cells providing them their technology and weapons.#Thrawns control of the Empire would further collapse because of all the corrupt officials who would be embezzling funds or resources.#Thrawns fleets would fall into disarray and he'd be assassinated by a YV pretending to be a low ranking Stormtrooper or a slave or somethin #The YV wars were won because the Jedi inspired a religious reformation.#YV versus the Imperials would've led to YV victory.

the first 5 seconds of time war 2

narvin voiceover: this is how the world ends 😔

me, leela, the doctor, any non time lord that's ever been to Gallifrey:

#get fucked futuristic 18th century british facism planet #Fs in chat for narvin still having at least some of the time lord supremacist imperialist brainworms though #i am Very intrigued as to how the most religious man on gallifrey is going to take Gallifreyan Jesus coming back to life #especially given the fact that narvin seems to have the capacity for genuinely complex thoughts and ethical dilemas now - even (i think) in #regards to gallifreyan civil religion #it must be so tempting to fall right back into the comfort and simplicity of faith (or zealotry if you'd rather)#i feel like big finish is going to fumble this #but yeah no i would love to see more consideration of narvin's shattering faith (that he absolutely does not consider to be faith)#and how that affects his decision making #how much is genuine belief and how much is WANTING to still believe #like come ON‚ narvin is currently getting deprogammed from military imperialist white man's burden catholicism #HOW IS THAT NOT MORE OF A FOCUS?#or am i going mad here‚ like‚ i assumed the faith/religion/cult (up to interpretation) angle of gallifrey was intentional #but they haven't really done much with it :/#anyway i need to write fobwatched 1800s catholic cardinal narvin‚ i've been thinking about that for months #narvin would be fucking mortified afterward about 'indulging in primitive supersition'‚ but he wouldn't have actually sounded much differen #swap 'rassilon' for jesus and 'president' for pope. same shit #gallifrey #narvin

tbf the most fascinating part of radahn as a boss and character to me isn't even the horsegirl\war general aspect of him. it's the fact that he uses spears people stabbed him with as arrows. that's metal as fuck.

#like ok not to expose myself here w shitty analytics but when the cleanrot knight stabs radahn in that one cinematic #it reminds me a little of that one scene in beauty and the beast where beast's hide is stabbed with an arrow #this is. most certainly not intentional but the imagery.#the concept of being in pain for a long time and fighting through it #have you noticed his back is a pincushion already by the time he fights malenia? goddamn #also i supposed at one point it would have been interesting if the spears caused rot buildup but i realize now that wouldn't fit #as his rune states his body constantly burns to try fight off the rot #that AND #the fact the spears are infused w gravity magic #like. bro. talk about turning the enemy's power against them #idk basically i see why his troops loved him the way they did if my military superior got shanked and 1. tore ut out of their body #and 2. chucked it back at the enemy #that is so fucking sick!!!!

smth abt the shadows of youth that i can't get over is the fact that the king rlly looked @ lance this newly grieving child and thought the best thing for him in that moment was to ship him off to fucking military school lol

he rlly said surely me doing this won't traumatize him any further, resulting in him harboring some unspoken resentment towards me and some part of him believing that i made his life worse actually thereby tainting our relationship later on

ofc not ik what's best for him, this is a good course of action actually

#think abt the fact that lance likely never even wanted to be a soldier #could've aspired to be a scientist like his dad but since the king/general practically decided his future for him #any chances of he had of pursuing those ambitions were crushed #hell when i rlly think why couldn't lance have just yk stayed at the castle instead #again i have to ask WHY did he have to get sent to military school #wouldn't be surprised bc if the general had said some of shit like oh don't worry it'll be a formative experience #it'll help him build character or smth like that #sym bionic titan #robi rambles
