#john will never stop loving him

[imasexypotato]

Imagine Gale having an "Oh" moment the first time he realises John loves him.

I HC that Gale grew up with a very absent mother and a terrible father. So he isn't used to anyone doing anything for him.

No affection, no care, no love. He's used to people only caring about themselves. So it never crosses his mind that someone could ever truly love him.

That is, until he meets John.

He's wonderful. He's the complete opposite of Gale. He's outgoing, he's loud, friendly. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He isn't scared of speaking his mind.

He's perfect.

At least, to Gale he is.

He's so happy after they become friends. Why John picked him out of everyone there to be his friend, Gale had no clue, but he wasn't about to complain.

It's only a matter of time before Gale starts to wonder when it will end. Everyone leaves eventually. People get tired of him and move on.

So Gale watches and waits. Waits for John to falter. Waits for him to realise Gale isn't worth his time. Waits for him to leave.

But he never does.

Over the years, Gale waits for the other shoe to drop. Waits for the happiness to end. Waits for John to leave him behind.

Soon, he tells himself over and over.

Because there's no way Gale deserves John's friendship. He doesn't deserve his kindness, his care, his devotion, his love.

And yet, the day never comes.

John doesn't stop caring. He doesn't stop smiling at him. He doesnt stop touching him oh so gently, as though Gale was something special. Something to be treasured.

It's like John has an endless supply of .... something Gale doesn't dare to dream of.

He keeps on treating him the same as always, and soon enough Gale can't take it.

Why hasn't he left yet? Why does he continue to stand by his side? What did John see in Gale that was worth wasting his time on?

And then, one day, he realises.

Perhaps it's something small, something no one else would bat an eye at. Something John says or does that makes Gale realise the truth.

Oh

John loves him.

It's that simple.

Nothing more and nothing less.

That's all there is to it.

Love.

"advise you move interior if you're not already... it's good cover"

that last bit has always felt like such an afterthought; it comes just a beat too late like ghost hadn't intended to elaborate on his order

did he add it to head off soap's inevitable questions; pushing back against his orders just like in al mazrah? never bc of insubordination but just bc of an intrinsic need to know the thought process behind an order before he can follow it

has he ever had to explain his thinking before; too used to being followed without question, his word always the authority in both rank and experience? just to meet soap who pushes back, not in doubt, but from the sheer desire to know

has it already become instinct to explain?

was it to start teaching him to think even deeper about his own survival? to look at his surroundings and see everything as an opportunity and tool at his disposal? already feeling the urge to implant these lessons so, should the time come, soap can implement them himself

he knows he won't always be there; whether it's as simple as distance, comms going down or his inevitable death, at some point soap won't have anyone at his back

better to teach the root of survival so he won't need protecting

even the phrasing, "if you're not already", he's not babying soap, not undermining his skills; he assumes soap knows to get inside bc he knows he’s a good soldier. but just in case he doesn’t, in case he’s frazzled and not thinking, he offers it as a reminder

i am rewatching feast of friends and i am not fuckin okay about it i tell you that!!!!!!

[cherryatombomb]

i see your "ghost doesn't really understand dating bc hes never rlly dated" and raise you "soap has also never rlly dated so he also learns with ghost".

soap who's been so fixated on his career he's never really allowed himself to date, he's just constantly been working - him being so determined to make something of himself that he never really allowed himself to relax

so hes also going through a lot of firsts with ghost, as hes mostly only had flings

soap going all out on the cliche things bc he has literally learned all of his dating knowledge through romcoms. he brings ghost flowers, chocolate, they go on nice dates where they go out and eat smth proper

each time ghost does smth for him it has him so flustered bc soap has also never had that before!! so its so very exciting!! he honestly loves when ghost does those cliche things, too. soap has never had a flower live more then a week when in his grasp, but he insists on ghost buying him flowers nonetheless just out of principle

i just think both soap and ghost being a little bit clueless when it comes to dating, probably doing things a little bit out of order, but being ever so tender with one another and learning it together is just really sweet

I do tend to get defensive of older sources and how reading them in the light of contemporary values does them a disservice, but I’ll never forget reading the scene in Morte d’Arthur (as retold in contemporary English by John Steinbeck) where they interview a cowherd’s son for the Knights of the Round Table, and they go “there’s no way this is a cowherd’s son, everything about him bespeaks noble birth.” And they ask Merlin if he’ll be a good man and Merlin tells them that there’s no way he won’t, because he has royal blood. And the guy’s mother comes out and says ��Well, I’ve never told anybody this before, but a hot second before I got married a knight came along and sexually assaulted me and then took my dog as a memento of the incident” and everybody’s like “Well that’ll do it! Congratulations on the royal blood, kid, this is wonderful news for everyone concerned” and the cowherd goes, “Well, I did think he was my biological son this whole time, but if it happened before we were married, that’s fine. I’m okay with it.”

watched "MaXXXine" yesterday! it was fun and great, of course. not my favourite of the trilogy (my order of favourites is the chronological order, funnily enough); but still a very worthy part of it and a good enough end to it! <3

I also have a new favourite character, blorbo, whatever you wanna call him, from this movie. John Labat (Kevin Bacon). I--- dhkfsdkjfdsk I just love fictional men that are disgusting, sleazy, beyond morally grey assholes that look/dress/act a very specific way,,,

“Guns N Roses shouldn’t have been at the FMTC” this and “why were Guns N Roses even invited after the homophobia blah blah”

IT WAS ON PURPOSE. THEY WERE INVITED ON PURPOSE. ROGER. DID IT. ON. PURPOSE. And put him with Elton ON PURPOSE. To bridge that gap and it WORKED.

Axl Rose and Elton John practically held hands singing Bohemian Rhapsody in front of the entire world and if you watch Roger’s face in the background you can tell he knows his mission was accomplished

i know that interpretation is an individual thing and our conclusions are formed by our experiences and no two people will come away with the same conclusion from the same piece of art. i know that. i know that. it still feels bad when I add a song to a character/story playlist because my interpretation of it is thematically relevant when the original intent is very much like. not that
