thinking about the way ghost doesn't hesitate to start killing shadows when graves betrays them but soap only takes one hostage
you can almost hear the voice in his head telling him it doesn't have to be this way; they can still talk it out
"i'm calling shepherd"
his first instinct when confronted with betrayal is to play it by the books: to go up the chain. that goes against everything we've seen him do. he bucks authority at every chance except for the one time he's confronted with the barrels of his allies' guns
he wants a peaceful resolution; for the first time we've ever seen, he doesn't want violence to be the answer. there has to be another fix, a solution that doesn't end with him killing the same men he's been working with; his friends
nothing's happened yet
it doesn't have to go this way
but ghost has been betrayed before. he knows the way this ends; either with him six feet under or his enemy
he doesn't hesitate
it's only when they knock alejandro out that soap shoots; when they spill the first blood and cross a line they can never come back from
only when ghost orders him to run and he has to cover his retreat
and somewhere along the line, between civilians’ screams and taunting voices, between his shaking breath and ghost steady in his ear, that naivety is stripped away; his trust turned to teeth that he uses to sink into throats of men he'd have given his life for
"be careful who you trust, sergeant; people you know can hurt you the most"
he's learned the price of trust
just like ghost did
but unlike ghost, he has someone to guide him through the aftermath
"good advice, It"
#im gonna add these to my notfics on ao3 i think i have a Lot of these floating around#a bit shorter than my other metas but i think its something that gets missed when people talk about alone#soap is a violent man#his career literally trains him to shoot first ask questions later#and yet he still tries his best to avoid blood when faced with betrayal#and you realise it actually does fit him#soap cares about the men he serves with#he wants to save the men at the crash site he checks on a downed soldier he asks about civilians about alejandros family#hes very tuned into the people around him#and he cant turn that off until hes forced to#until graves gives him a reason to hate him#and all of that previous care and consideration goes out the window#‘makes me want to commit a few war crimes of my own’#dont cross soap#you want like what happens if you do#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#we’re a team. ghost team#talk meta to me#soap cod#john soap mactavish#ghost cod#simon ghost riley#ghoap#ghostsoap#soapghost#meta#phillip graves#graves cod#save post

also in the face of people deleting their blogs, that's another reason why you guys are supposed to reblog stuff. if somebody deletes a post, your liked version will disappear, but the reblogs remain. i'm insane about preservation and archival, every single piece of art i have ever enjoyed is reblogged on my 450k+ posts main account so if the artists leave I still have their work. i even tag things (though just with the main fandom tag) so I have years and years worth of fanworks saved that the terrible general site search will never show you.
please reblog art. not just to support the artists who make it and share their efforts, but also so you have your own copy of their works saved for yourself, and the future users of this site.
#reblog art#artist support#so basically if you dont reblog art i do not want to hear you complaining about your fav artists deleting and leaving lol#if you used this site like you were supposed to it would be at least Slightly less of an issue because you'd still have it all#save the shit you like!!! i never delete my art personally but i Want my art to be out there. just in case something happens to my blog#save my art. save everything. just dont upload it to entirely different websites like instagram cuz that makes u a prick#if your favorite artist deletes tomorrow. what evidence do you have that they were here at all?#reblog. for the love of god reblog#i lost so much great art from deviantart thanks to eclipse and the Al bullshit that i didn't save. but on tumblr i dont have to worry abt i

Hey, this is kind of Random, but about a year ago I want to say you made a girl genius crossword. I wanted to attempt it again because though I never managed to finished it, it was really fun, do you happen to have the link for it still?
It is probably this link here. If not, then there's problems. Glad you liked it!
Also disclaimer that the krosp one is technically incorrect i think in the question but i cant change it
#answers#girl genius#i dont even know what the fuck happened when i made this#its like i blinked and it existed and the site was like STOP ADDING QUESTIONS

watching all of the internet kill itself . they werent lying abt enshittification
#you guys should see what happened to quotev LOL#x. meta. google. tumblr. quotev. deviantart. discord#list goes on those are some of the main ones ive seen#and all of these attempts at indie social media startups suck too. honestly. remember what happened to buzzly . lawl#and cohost is ugly and doesnt work for me. and im not getting some stupid 'bluesky' or . sheezy ? and earlier today#bc i follow artists on insta and meta basically just said 'yeah all of your stuff ever were using it to train ai'#i saw someone mention Yet Another Indie Social Media like . aughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh#those people are right we gotta just start making our own pages on neocities (<- doesnt know how to code + is exhausted + stupid)#(and i know theres templates and tutorials and guides but i still just get overwhelmed easy)#kinda off topic but i think toyhou.se is genuinely good though. only issue is that its still in beta and to sign up you have to get an#invite code. i dont know how easy it is to get invite codes now but i know when it 1st started up ppl were literally selling invite codes 💀#also other sites that are nice to me are flight rising and pixel cat's end but those + th arent social media sites . wel

one weird part of my job is sometimes I get little old ladies with sweet hearts poking through the compost box on the bottom of my cart that tell me I shouldn't be throwing away what I am throwing away. Like yeah, I get it. Food waste sucks! I hate throwing anything away. But everything down there is rotting or bruised or withered or just ugly enough that I know it will sit on the shelf until it is rotting, bruised, and withered. I cannot mark it down, and you will not buy it at full price. "But poor people---!" Poor people deserve food that isn't moldy or bruised or withered or ugly! And afaik our company already donates actually edible food to pantries!
#this has happened a handful of times like yes i get it but please understand what you're actually asking for#call corporate if you are unhappy with our compost going to pig farmers as feed.#or that you'd like for us to implement a markdown system for produce (like we already have for meat/bread/etc)#i cannot do anything here store-side#just a vent dont mind meee#u#and jsut. the number of times i've told customers 'yeah this is still fully edible so if it's in your house looking like this then its fine#'but no on is going to buy it looking like this'#ANYWAY while I'm here if that site is still around that sells 'ugly produce' to reduce food waste it is a complete scam#produce is graded and ugly stuff that is still edible goes to plants that turn it into soups or jellies or various other products.#it doesn't get thrown away for being ugly unless it gets to a store and even then we do still try to sell it#and i purposefully put uglier shit where I know it'll get grabbed by ppl who dgaf.#thank you customers who dgaf!!!!!!!!! you're my favorite#ppl who dig to the bottom when there is new shit on the top: please fuck right off. you didn't even look. you didn't even try.

as y'all know, being verbose is my main character trait. but as I'm looking around, I'm finding that there is literally no other viably large social media website that like. allows you to post an entire chapter of what you're working on without you having to host it yourself, as well as images and just like. notes about the day to day. it feels bad man. RN I'm bouncing between the three options on my shortlist and more and more it's looking like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and use Twitter. I didn't like it because of how much it limits what you can say and forces strangers into your feed, but at this point there's no where else that would fit what I make as well as tunglr does.
I do not have words to describe this dread. the last month has been... nine kinds of hell one after the other. because like. Believe It Or Not. my dog dying doesn't make the top 5 worst things to happen in the last 30 days. this is kinda just the straw that's breaking the camels back rn.
anyways. my Twitter is mostly just sketchy porn I couldnt post here. I'm going to try to start using it actively over the next few weeks to make the transition easier for me. If you use that site, here's my link.
#Im waiting on a blue sky invite code atm. Mastadon is busted and not letting me post anything#and pillowfort is... there. im not sure i want to pay to use it up front#if you dont know what's happening:#the staff are being moved to other sites. Theyre winding down and prolly getting ready to shutter. I dont know when#but yeah.#The site stayed unprofitable for too long.#this is like. actually it my friends.

does the guy complaining about the amount of gay ultrakill fanart they see know they're on the gay fanart website???? "i cant scroll through the tag without seeing 30 fanarts of gabriel in a skirt" my brother in christ that man isnt wearing pants
#ramblings#ultrakill#sorry i usually dont pay attention to this kind of thing but that last complaint was really funny to me#“nothing in this game is meant to be sexualized'' in the game that has buttplug support??????#like ok. i get not wanting to see anything nsf/w but that can be remedied by like. blocking the suggestive or nsft tags#as an asexual i do get the frustration of not being interested in the nsf/w side of fandoms. idk how it is on reddit or twitter#but i imagine that its a bit more difficult to avoid without a tagging system. i honestly have no clue since i rarely go on those sites#but the way this guy went about it is so weird lol#what happened to curating your own online experience or whatever. ive got fandoms i like where im not interested in what#most people like to post about. so i just go look elsewhere#cutting this short bc this is already way too long

as someone who likes to occasionally look through the blogs of the accounts that show up in my notifs it really is sad to see so many blogs now just be personalized empty spaces :(
#will see a name/icon that interests me and like 50% of the time theyre just....empty....like ok moving on i guess#i understand that some people like to just have private little accounts but idk its disappointing to see it more and more often#like this is a social media site.....what happened to the social 😔#cant even see likes half the time#basically a dead account#idk i just cant imagine using social media like that... like what is this instagram#or twitter i guess too#SIIIIIGGGGGHHHH 😔#how do you foster a community like this? can you?#at least they dont look like bots anymore i guess. one step at a time#it speaks

I can't think of anything that could kill a generative ai system faster than letting it pull from blogs on here, its going to be fed so many erroneous callouts and pointless discourse posts that its gonna generate a way to speedrun offing itself
#jay talkin#im making jokes but fucking hell the internet sucks nowadays#i love witnessing the rot in real time (<--said extremely mentally healthily haha u can trust)#im listening to monkey wrench on repeat. feeling normal#i mean hey yr shits already been jacked by ai if it was gonna be. sorry. it woulda happened like last year at its peak#sites being more open abt it now and adding opt out toggles dont mean its just suddenly gonna start happening#believe me they were all already trawled by little ai fucknuts already. sucks but its the truth#ai bros notably do not care abt legality they have already trawled every site. all u can do is fight back best u can#damage has been done. dont fall into despair via scaremongering and doom posting#do what u can to protect yrself and yr shit snd spread info on how to do that#glaze yr art if yr an artist. opt out of shit when u can. its fucking rough out here#ai is p solely focused on ripping off whatever is most marketable or 'realistic' bc it is a capitalist leach#and nobody involved in it has a soul enough to recognise art if it spat in their face#it fucking sucks that we're still dealing w it but i promise u this capitalist mass-market tendency#is gonna end up w it poisoning itself w its own shite imagery to the point of death so#it WILL fuck off eventually. hold on w the hope of that ok. n protect yr shit. alright#oh and dont share any info u wldnt want stolen but u shldnt be doing that anyway for internet safety reasons#love u all my artists in arms i hope ai dies sooner rather than later and i hope u get to piss on its corpse#love the lawsuit speedruns this place is pulling lately. yall hadnt had yr fill last week huh

sorry but i find it really hard to believe that ao3 was down because of some sudanese hate group that's mad about lgbt content. that Literally just sounds like something people who donate way too much money to ao3 would make up to convince themselves that theyre oppressed for reading incest fanfiction and that the ao3 staff are heroes who are immune to criticism
#ive also seen people blame it on ''''antis'''' (aka normal people) and the russian government. you are all so fucking stupid im sorry#why would ANY government of ANY country care enough about a fanfiction website to do this#i think youre severely overestimating the importance of ao3 and how much the average person cares about ao3#also wasnt it confirmed that whoever attacked the site wasnt actually from sudan. hello#what is it with ao3 users and accusing random countries of trying to destroy their precious fanfiction website#like didnt they also accuse some random chinese person who was running for a staff position of being a pro censorship psyop#i dont know all the details so maybe im misunderstanding but i feel like that was something that happened

I'm glad the "Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize" meme is getting critiqued in its usage because... While the sentiment itself is absolutely true... I feel like sometimes, perhaps, it's not a work of fiction's fault that you're personally bad at picking up on satire
#im thinking about how i saw a person say futurama is bad because bad things still exist in the future#and its like. thats the point though?#the joke is literally the idea that if we never learn and grow from these problems as a society these are the hyperbolic extremes#that they would come to etc etc#do i think it was all well handled? probably not. it had a 14 year run im sure it fumbled lots of stuff and has shit that doesnt hold up#but i feel like dismissing it entirely based on just-#''but bad stuff happens. and i want the future to be better so this bums me out'' is just dumb LOL like thats literally the point#theyre taking the problems of today and making them into crazy hyperbolic extremes to mock them THATS WHAT SATIRE IS#there is a clarity of purpose youre just bad at picking up on it. NIXON WAS THE FUCKING PRESIDENT IN THAT SHOW FOR CHRIST SAKE#WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK ''AMERICA'S FAVORITE SUICIDE BOOTH SINCE ****2008****'' COULD MEAN?#idk. this site is bad media literacy r us why take it seriously. but i am. bc its frustrating#bc that quote on its own is sooooo good at explaining why some ''satire'' is bad and doesnt work#but ppl who dont know how to engage w media beyond a surface level have taken it and turned it into like#''this is bad bc i didnt get it'' ok. sounds like a you problem.#but posting this is scary bc im afraid itll be used for the other extreme .-.

just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE your comic I am so inspired by it and it’s so lovely and I wanna buy the physical books (I’ve never done that before) I just AUGGHHH EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS SO 💙💙💙
do you allow fanart? And is there anything not allowed? I wanna draw adam and steve so bad 😭
Of course it's allowed! Fanart fanfic fan music fan dubs whatever!
I like to think I'm sort of "building a playground" when I make a story, have fun on it! I made it for you!
In my general opinion, it's not my business what my "fandom" does... It's on you and also me to curate our own spaces! If you're inspired by my work in any way, that's the greatest honor I could imagine and I want you to feel fully free to explore that. If someone is being weird, I know where the block button is and they can keep being weird where I don't have to see it haha
Just don't like... sell it... it's messy legally with webtoon and I'm one person making the story and it's my whole income so the few sales I get are kind of huge for me ;_;
#the way I see it is if I put up a boundary of like 'dont make something that I wouldnt want to see'#all it does is scare the people who respect me into not making anything!#and the people who were never going to respect me anyways were going to make those things regardless#because they didn't respect me. so they wouldnt care if I put that boundary up.#so my opinion is like honestly it's not my business what you do... if you're doing something weird with my story it's not reflecting on me#like youre the one doing the weird thing not me...? so why would I care LOL#I'm pretty good about blocking tags or ignoring the things that make me uncomfortable. which has happened#also like. I'll be honest#if you sold like 3 I also wouldnt care AHGASJGLKGJASLGKJSA#cause idk. I dont generally feel like it's taking away from my business...#idk!!! it's a weird zone#like I need money to live but morally I'm not opposed to other people making art and selling it so idk where to land on that#but uhhh webtoon wouldnt like it if you sold it. so#I'm not going to like go after someone idk...#if I did not need the money to live. I wouldnt care at all and would probably encourage other people selling my stuff#or like their art of my stuff. not my art of my stuff. never do that#thats just regular theft#but webtoon does NOT!!! like that and idk how much they go after stuff like that. I know they went after scanlation sites sob#novaeverse#asks#sorry this is so unclear. my opinions on it are unclear lmao#basically. do whatever.#I can't stop what you are doing and I will not waste the energy trying#all I ask for is some basic respect!#and I dont think I can or should ask for more. so#enjoy! make whatever! it's literally making free art for me AUGASJGLKSAJGALKGJ how could I say no...
