insecure soap whose insecurities don't stem from a place of inadequacy

he knows how talented he is, how hard he’s worked to get where he is; that he didn’t land a spot on an exclusive highly skilled taskforce for no reason. he's confident about his skills; doesn't brag or show off, doesn't need to because he knows he'll always live up to and surpass expectations the second someone doubts him

but he also knows he can always be better

there's records left unbroken, mental walls he can shatter; if he just keeps pushing, keeps training he'll be more. he's always trying to beat himself, not in search of validation or outward assurance but because he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that his yesterday self was lesser

slower

weaker

every muscle that burns and tears heals stronger so he dedicates himself to ripping them apart. scarred skin doesn't flinch from heat so he welcomes the burns. he’s strict with his diet and stricter with his schedule, he spends hours in the gym and longer at the range and not a minute of rest goes by without him thinking it’s time wasted when he could be improving, always improving

soap knows he's good

because he knows he can be great

and he won't stop until he is, no matter how many times he needs to break himself to get there

#this episode brought to you by captain mactavish’s obsessive need for improvement #seriously have you read that thing #its like a good 40% the source of my love for soap #theres a page of mactavish running the cqc course and his timings bc hes obsessed with trying to beat gazs record #he runs the thing 10 times #and only once is his time slower than the one before it #what the fuck #that need for improvement is so tasty and i am shamelessly dropping it on 22 soaps head have fun babygirl #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #we’re a team. ghost team #soapghost #soap cod #john soap mactavish #ghoap #ghostsoap

911 really is such a good reminder of the particularly kind of joy that is weekly, seasons-long shows with many episodes per season. every character gets a moment to shine even in a truncated season. the satisfaction of seeing characters grapple with stuff that happened YEARS ago. having multi-episode arcs and one-off arcs that are equally enjoyable. beach episodes (metaphorical). I know we're all saying this all the time but why can't more tv be like this

#911 #911 spoilers #lauren feels things #do I hate waiting week to week for this show?#of COURSE #but it's so fun to run to youtube after an episode and watch the promo for next week #(why don't weekly streaming shows do promos btw? we should bring those back)#this week's 911 really was such a SHINING example of this #in one episode we got:#HUGE bobby exploration #bathena content #major hen exploration #AND henren content #eddie breakthrough #buddie content #callbacks to seasons 1 and 2 in MANY ways #tommy content!! that confrontation with his old shitty captain did so much in such a short time #we didn't get enough chimney or madney for my taste #but that's only because I can LITERALLY never get enough of them #and chimney had a hUGE episode 2 episodes ago so that's okay #and!!!!!! this is after a whole week spent JUST on bobby!#that was so compelling!!!#and in a 10 episode season still feels like we're getting to everything #the callback to dosed #the return of bobby's suicidal ideation #I mean jesus CHRIST #I'm so glad he and athena talked about the book #also I would loooooove love love another bobby chimeny convo about this at some point #bc that scene in s1 when bobby tells chimney about his plans to kill himself #is one of my favorite scenes it's SO good

quick 15min doodle, bc I'm working on (currently only hypothetically tho :c) Something based on that post about "would mae survive castle dracula"

inspired by this snippet of a conversation w @nelyoslegalteam

#silm #silmarillion #maedhros #dracula #crossover #okay i need to somehow draw up a crossover w the pretty deadly guys dressed as rock opera c&c interacting w mae in draculas castle #purely for the tagging chaos #background on this: mae needs to Discuss Things w dracula (he wants to use dracs roads as a shortcut for the army)#he rode there on his giant valian horse that i have named Rocco #bc i hc him as a gift from celegorm and we all know how celegorm names pets #originally he was riding alongside the 'driver' bc drac didn't know what to do w Rocco since the horse cannot go in the carriage #but then drac started going in circles and mae got fed up and went straight to the castle (which. he could see the whole time. because Elf)#(drac panicked and had to run top speed to the castle to make it there before the giant magic horse did)#and then when they got there drac obviously did not have stablehands or a doorman or anyone to take care of Rocco #so mae just. brought his giant 10 foot tall horse in through the front door #and drac is like 'I DID NOT BUDGET FOR A HORSE'

i made a rough timeline for the clone^2 au, just for my own convenience sake when dating things. some things might be out of order from the episode date, and thats also for my convenience.

September 3rd: Danny, age 14, has the accident in the lab that turns him liminal

September 10th: Danny is discharged from the hospital and given two weeks leave from school

September 24th: his sick leave ends, and Danny returns to school

October 14th: Danny sneaks into his parents' basement and releases the ghosts they have trapped in cages. Official birth of the vigilante, Phantom

November 27th: Danny fights Pariah Dark, and wins

December 24th: the Ghost Writer torments Danny

February 12th: Danny's 15th birthday

March 3rd: its been six months since Danny's accident

March 7th: Danny fights his evil future self

May 8th: Danny meets Ellie [age 15] and they become twins

December 14th: Danny finds out from his parents that he's a clone

February 12th: Danny's 16th birthday

Early-Mid April: Danny meets Damian [age 6] :)

Mid-Late April: Damian runs off for the first time, damages Danny's hands the first time

May: Damian runs off two more times in the span of three weeks, he damages Danny's hands both times.

Early June: Damian runs off one more time, damages Danny's hands again, resulting in permanent nerve damage.

Mid-Late June: Damian finally gives up on the League coming to get him and joins the Fenton Family.

July: Damian finally coaxes Danny into letting him come along with him on patrol: Wraith is born.

#danny fenton is not the ghost king #dpxdc #dpxdc crossover #clone^2 #danny fenton is a clone #this only focuses on the earlier parts of the au because those are most important imo. figuring out when danny's accident was. when he #became phantom. when he met damian. etc. is all pretty important stuff and helps me figure out ages beyond '10 year gap'#not super important stuff to much anyone else i think but its nice to have it written down as reference #i usually put danny's accident as happening at the beginning of the school year. tis convenient that way #me: hmmm when do i make danny find out he's a clone. beginning of the school year makes the most sense right???#me:....or.... i could ruin his christmas again :)#thought about increasing the amount of times damian runs off but... thats a LOT of time he's run off and i didnt want to go overboard #same thing with danny's hands. thought about hurting him more frequently but honestly taking a blade to the hand is already damaging enough #on its own. catch a blade with his hands four times would be enough to cause permanent nerve damage and also he would have learned his #lesson if it happened more frequently.#so damian runs off 4 times in the span of essentially 2 months #and four times danny catches his blade. three times he got cut. one time he needed stitches #anyways thats the timeline for now. made totally for convenience sake and no other reason #totally dont look at my google docs there’s nothing there but half forgotten wips and cfau master doc

ive been rereading your ffxv fic "im trying hard to take it back" for literally four years now. please end my suffering and tell me how gladio feels. please. PLEASE. (but only if u want ofc)

(fic) Short answer: Gladio feels insane guilt and spends a lot of his life trying to make this up to Prompto. In the process, they deepen their connection as friends and do begin a relationship probably around the one-year mark of endless darkness. <3

Longer answer: (implications of abuse/violence tw but no worse than in the fic itself; just what others assume to be true even if it's not in the context of this specific fic)

Gladio is a secret romantic at heart who has always envisioned meeting his soulmate, but he's also duty-bound and duty comes first. So even though he reads romance books (amongst other types of books too) and indulges in his head a bit as many people do, he's often put his duty to the crown first and foremost in his mind. He also didn't imagine his soulmate was anyone on this trip and thought perhaps the person he may have been fated to meet died in the assault of Insomnia. Even if they were a refugee, they can't be a priority to him at this moment. His priority has to be Noctis.

Prompto has obviously grown on him over the course of their road trip, but there are aspects of them that don't 100% mesh (as is true with every realistic relationship). That said, Gladio never in a hundred years would want this moment of (understandable but out of line) frustration and anger in the wake of Luna and Altissa to be a permanent mark on Prompto's face. He's genuinely horrified and disgusted with himself for a long time after this and spends most of his life trying to make it up. He feels like a dirtbag about it.

That said, Prompto runs away from him in this moment and they need time to calm down, just as the fic shows. Noctis goes after Prompto, just like in canon. Prompto falls off the train and has his Despair Arc just like in the DLC, now with the added despair of "well, in addition to being a clone, my soulmate hates me. And in addition to the mark of inhumanity on my wrist (barcode), I have a giant hand print of him literally Shoving Me Away on my face. Forever."

Aranea: Well, do you want to die about it. Or do you want to live.

Prompto, eventually like in canon: Live, I guess. But it will be excruciating.

Aranea: That's what living is. We do it anyway. Your friends love you. Get off the floor.

He fights his way through his issues and gets rescued like in canon. Gladio probably tries to talk to him when they all catch up again, trying to apologize, and Prompto tells him to hold off on that for later.

Then, of course, Noctis is eaten by the crystal and "later" becomes much, much later as they evacuate and try to survive in eternal darkness. (Though they also can't Not think about it because it's a giant hand print. On Prompto's face. And every person they meet has Something To Say about it, for better or worse, whether they knew Prompto before or not. Prompto cannot escape it, and when Gladio is not doing Crown Duties he feels he must do in Noct's absence, he's with Prompto, so he also Cannot Escape It either. Even when the person speaking is unaware that Gladio left that mark. It's almost worse when they don't know, but when they see it's Gladio, who is such a big guy who seemingly hit Prompto and left that permanent mark there, some of them get nasty to him and some back off out of fear. Both are horrible. The guilt is eating him alive.)

Eventually, enough time passes as the dust settles that they do Talk About It. Gladio apologizes sincerely, for the 500th time. Prompto's like, "Well. It's not like you could have known that this would be The One Time it happened." And then cracks a joke about their soulmate mark being a Prompto's hand print on Gladio's ass from a butt slap in another life, which does help the tension somewhat. (The more Gladio tries to apologize, the more Prompto grows sick of hearing it, so they just have to move on and keep going, as he's learned to do.)

They grow closer over time, especially because there's not a lot of people who have survived to this point and even less later on. They do get together romantically, both because they do like the idea of soulmates (for different reasons) and also because they're living out of each others pockets for years, so there's an affection and dependency that develops there. Also, teenage Prompto always thought Gladio was really handsome and teen Gladio thought Prompto was cute and sincere for a pipsqueak.

When they are out together on dates in normal settings surrounded by strangers after the light returns, Gladio will receive dirty looks for the rest of his life from strangers who see the hand print on Prompto's face and immediately (correctly) assumes it was out of anger rather than a funny accident or something. (Edit: Some people will assume there is a funny story attached. Gladio will not know what to say to this. Prompto will play along.) He will learn to live with this. Prompto is really grateful Gladio is with him despite everything.

#FOUR YEARS that's so flattering adjklasjldkja;fsal; thank you for reading and for caring after all this time. it genuinely means a lot #if you were looking for a cuter/succinct answer i'm so sorry and can definitely give you one. this was just one of my more realistic aus #my text #asks #my fic #promptio #ffxv #for the record i don't think gladio and prompto are Rock Solid for the full 10 years in this au #i think they have periods in the darkness where they separate for a while. out of necessity. as many in the dark do.#whether due to feeling antsy or personality clashes or conflicting traumas of what they've had to deal with and Missing Noct and #Losing Faith and Regaining Faith and Obligations and The Horrors and so on #but I do think they cannot escape each other especially with gladio's hand print on prompto's face and so they can't Not think about #each other always. prompto in the mirror. gladio in his dreams.#so they are always drawn together and they do work things out and get used to each other #and end up relatively happy together in the end #they lean on each other a lot in the post-noct times #especially gladio who doesn't know what to do with himself without noctis always and ignis is equally lost #making themselves useful but running around the same ruts in the ground as always #and prompto is over here pulling himself up by his boostraps while pretending he's not crying in the caravan bathroom #like they all are #i do NOT mean for this to sound as depressing as it does. I think like years 1-2 post Hand Incident are really rough with moments of light #and then all the times after that are super solid <3 #they DO end up happy together it just takes a lot of hard work and they know each other better than anyone by the end #thank you again for sending this ask after 4 years it is so wonderful to read

Spreen: *cursing out Tubbo and trying to pick a fight*

Quackity: *silently watching in amused horror while another competitor shouts "KISS KISS KISS" in the background*

Tubbo: *completely ignoring everything Spreen said* SI, SI, MUY BIEN :D

I can’t wait to see how badly this new business venture of Watcher’s fails. I hope Steven, Ryan, and Shane’s America centric self obsessed asses lose everything and I hope Steve has to sell his Tesla and bullshit matcha machine and the others have to downsize whatever else bougie shit they have and LEARN how valuable $6 is, not just in the US but everywhere else. This is going to crash and burn and I can’t wait to see the decline.

#watcher #edited to include the rest bc the Steven Lim hate is getting a little much. he’s the CEO and Silicon Valley prick #but hes not the mastermind behind the whole ordeal.#fuck Ryan and Shane too bc they could have said no #I know Steven runs the business but they’re big boys #fuck most of Watcher’s staff too bc tell me why one of the employees told someone on Patreon their money wasn’t worth the channel’s time #I hope that single social media manager that wasn’t on board gets out of there before things get really bad bc there WILL be layoffs #also that whole ‘anyone and everyone can afford this’ line was laughably appalling #’how much is one banana? 10 dollars?’ sounding ass #like there’s no coming back from this it’s insane they didn’t even THINK to run it by the fans

scribbly first date type affair (continuation of my modern au stuff)

#witch hat tag #orufrey #idk when the next modern au thing will be so i'll just post this by itself. hehe #that art was one of qifrey's first drawings. it was of a creepy eye. (it was around the time he got glasses as a kid)#(and was told that he might lose his sight completely one day so he became an emo because he already wanted to be an artist #like beldaruit who ran his foster home where he encouraged kids to draw art to express their feelings.)#and an insidious deviantart group called The Brimhats idk stole it & reposted it. he never got to the bottom of who exactly did it.#but one day. they will fucking suffer.#(he believes their goal was to develop AI art as they said stuff like 'all art should belong to everyone anyway' & 'there shouldnt be rules'#but actually they were probably just regular mean ppl who have moved on to new things in life than stealing kids' art on deviantart.#who knows though.) i want people to retain their disabilities or general tragedies like beldaruit would be in a wheelchair #and coco's mum is in a coma. but its just so funny if qifrey just has regular bad eyesight #and it's so cute that he would say he doesnt think of beldaruit as a dad & is distant with him but now basically runs a foster home too #where he doesnt just encourage like he was encouraged but actively teaches kids from sad backgrounds to become wonderful artists one day #anyway i am so fucking hungry now goodbye #P.S. BELDARUIT IS NOT OLD !!!!!!! i mean if qifrey is late 20s or older in canon like i want... i guess he..but.... NO !!!!!! 😭#*edits in some follow-up drawings*#oru: i couldn't c-c-confess my feelings bc it always seems like he's worried about something..i shouldnt bother him..#qif: *always worried about how to confess his feelings*#ive decided meeting at 7 on da is kind of ridiculous actually. i think they probably meet at like age 10 in canon..not immediately =_=#since beru-sama is like 'he finally found a friend'. whatever... this'll be my last art post for a while probably so see ya <3

just finished matt smith's run as the doctor, still hot off the tails, and as is to be expected, everything that happened to him keeps making me think of nine and ten. i hadn't stopped to consider just how fresh the whole "committing genocide against my own people" thing was for nine. like the amount of High Grade Denial And Suppression he had to have been doing to be as barely functional as he was must have been publishable.

#this isn't even me getting into the whole thing about ten/length of life lived/dying alone/violent regeneration thing that i could go on ab #but can i just say even though i loved day of the doctor (while moffat's writing pitfalls as showrunner were still there #they were more like shallow valleys than trenches in dotd)#i'm kinda dissapointed that the doctor ended up Not Doing A Genocide #i liked the fact that he had made a real fucked up choice in a no win scenario that weighed on him so heavily #i LOVED that our being of pure good did somethong so drastic in the name of it #and though the lost memories means 89& 10 are still fully under the impression they did a genocide #from a dramatic irony perspective as an audience member it does retroactively lessen the impact #and i worry it'll take away a huuuge layer of complexity from the doctors henceforth who KNOW their slates are clean #anyways matt smith doctor should have gotten so old he turned into a little imp like tennant's did that one time #running my mouth #doctor who #nuwho #9th doctor #10th doctor #11th doctor

where is that post that is like 'if u were the girl he wanted communication would be easy for him' bc yeah... no matter how much u dont want it to be, it's true
