Been watching a lot of prop hunt videos recently and i cant stop thinking about the 141 lads playing it together. Kinda random but i thought you might get a kick out of it?

Soap should be the best at it but he giggles whenever anybody so much as looks at what he's disguised as or he tries too hard and makes it obvious. Price is decent one he gets the hang of how to play but Ghost somehow knows exactly where Price is hiding every time and finds it hilarious to rat him out by turning into a vending machine and standing right behind him wherever he is to Price's fury. Which leaves Gaz to win almost every time by just playing properly but if he's the hunter he goes wild and shoots everything. Laswell joins exactly once and wins every single round whilst doing some paperwork on the side so they never ask her to play again.

I love this idea—it's the perfect kind of chaos I can imagine with the 141! Soap absolutely giggling at his own disguises is so on point, especially if he tries something like being a ridiculously oversized object and then gives himself away immediately because said object is shaking (it's Soap laughing actually). Price being decent but Ghost trolling him by being just annoying enough to get under his skin? Chef's kiss. And Gaz being both the stealthiest prop and the most trigger-happy hunter? Iconic and so very Gaz.

Laswell joining once, multitasking like a boss, and wiping the floor with all of them is so on brand—I can already hear Soap and Gaz complaining about her 'hacks' while Price just mutters about her being too good for their games. I’m totally picturing her casually saying, "You boys done yet?" while finishing her work. There's a reason Laswell is so good at her job like come on. Ooo If her, Nik and Price team up they absolutely destroy the rest of the team and it reminds them all why they're the ones in charge. Those three are too good, too in sync, like a well-oiled machine really.

Now I can’t stop thinking about the absolute mayhem this would cause actually. Thanks for sharing this—it definitely made my day!

Ask game in question!

4: How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

Oh boy theres a LOT, i use notion to like keep track of all my ideas cause it syncs nicely and its a good archive, i dont use it to write cause the spell check sucks lol but its good storage. The problem with that system tho is the moment i get an idea i jot it down there so theres currently 47 ramblings and ideas, some are similar so i eventually combine them! I did a random number generator to pick the idea lol and it was number 13: reverse dating trope, basically people not believing that a couple is together! Havent decided who yet but its probably gonna end up as a 5+1 knowing me lol

7: Share a snippet from one of your favorite pieces of prose you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

This was hard, mostly cause i dont think most of my stuff is that good but id have to say this section from day 1 of ghostpriceweek and its probably the work im most proud of to this day, i just think it flowed so well and that their voices are really solid. Here's a part of it that i like for no particular reason:

"He’d finished heating up a tin of beans, stirring it absently before putting the lid on it to keep it warm, and set the kettle on for tea, knowing Price would be done soon. The small tasks felt grounding, almost domestic—there’s that word again, strange but, maybe, it was what had been playing at the edges of his mind for a while now. This rare ease, this strange new rhythm. Ghost found himself watching the steam rising from the kettle, a bit lost in the warmth that filled the air.

He wasn’t quite sure when it happened—when the lines between Price as a superior, a mentor, had blurred into something… more. It was a disquieting thought, one he’d been trying to keep at bay, though not with much success. And here he was, cooking up beans and making tea, so utterly settled in Price’s presence that the prospect of leaving, of returning to the job, made him feel something uncomfortably close to hollow.

He never imagined this was even possible for him. To be alive and wanting something so fiercely. To want a life outside of being a soldier. It was all he ever knew but as the kettle clicked and he made them a cup each, exactly how Price liked it, it hit him like a blow: this was it. This was what he wanted, more than he’d ever wanted anything.

The bathroom door creaked open, and Price emerged, towelling his hair. He’d discarded his usual gear in favour of an old grey t-shirt, soft and worn, that clung to his still-damp skin. He looked… ordinary. Beautifully ordinary. Ordinary was the wrong word entirely for that man, Ghost realised, because there was something extraordinary in the way Price took up space, in how naturally he filled the room."

38: Talk about a review that made your day.

OOO this was somehow even harder omg i love every comment or tag i get they all bring me immense joy, even if its just a bunch of emojis i love it thank you <33 but i will say that these in particular made my day as it was an absolute mess of a day and i was really doubting everything; about to delete said story but @nekrosmos the angel that he is dropped this in the tags and so did @jgvfhl (excuse the light-mode my desktop for some reason decided its in light-mode lol) and it made me literally light up and altered my brain chemistry for that whole day so thank you both genuinely <33 and sorry for the random tag whoops
