I read your last few personal posts and I just wanted to say I am SO happy you're in a better situation 💜 I hope you take care and that the next few months are kind to you
Thank you :') 💙 It's all very exciting. I have a home now and a bed, and I have my cat back. And I can just... Go grab food whenever I want??? And it's safe?? It's wild. Adjusting is weird. I feel a bit like a feral animal learning how to not be feral.
But I think I'm going to be really happy here.
Thank you for messaging me 💙It made me really happy

soap's whole deal being sniper and demolitions gets me going bc on the surface they sound so different but when you get into it, you realise it's bc soap's smart
sniping is all math; calculating distances and wind interference and bullet drop. something i think people overlook is he was listed as a sniper first so it can be implied that he's better at it than demolitions. he does more sniping in both campaigns than demolitions work; in capture or kill, ghost specifically calls on him to take down the aq snipers
and demolitions is math with a hit of chemistry; knowing what mixes with what, knowing how much to use, recognising environmental factors and adjusting accordingly. it's not just about the boom; so much work goes into contained/ planned explosions. especially when having enough power for a breacher charge and not bringing down the whole building is the difference between mission success and failure
the chemical bombs he makes in alone can't just be any old cleaners, they have to have the correct reaction to each other; he just knew off the top of his head what would mix with what to create what reaction. he would also potentially have to recognise them by sight/smell bc they would’ve been written in spanish
soap would also have to know architecture; recognising structural integrity and weak points so he knows exactly where to plant a charge to bring it down and how it'll come down
he has an incredible soldier's mind people just forget that bc he's sociable which itself is a skill
we know he tends to buck against orders he doesn't agree with like when he pushes back against ghost in capture or kill and shepherd when he tells them to release hassan
he gets closer to people and sees if he can trust them and that's when he follows them without question. really think about how he talks to alejandro and rudy; he asks about their home and alejandro's family and rudy's relationship with him. those aren't questions you ask a stranger after a few hours of knowing them. that's not even touching on his relationship with ghost
he also deliberately brings people of higher ranks down to his level; talking informally with ghost and giving him a shoulder punch, addressing alejandro (a colonel!!) by his first name and rudy by his nickname despite literally just meeting them. he personalises all of them and it’s in direct opposition to the reason most characters do that; it’s not due to insubordination or lack of respect, the more he respects and trusts someone, the more casual he is with them
he digs into people; he wants to know what makes them tick and that determines if he can one, trust them and two, follow their orders. once he decides that, he's the ultimate soldier; he bleeds loyalty which makes him vicious when that loyalty is taken for granted
he isn't naive or bubbly or insecure; he's an incredibly smart and aware soldier. he's aggressive and bloodthirsty and loyal and intuitive and i love him so much

Attempting to get the beast used to a dental hygiene routine is… well, it’s going.
(She stayed that way for a solid 8 seconds despite hating being held belly up so I think it’s safe to say that Mim is not beating the ‘tiny speaker playing elevator music instead of a brain’ allegations any time soon.)

between finnster and tommyinnit I just need rtgame to come out as bisexual and that should pretty much cover most of the "straight" ccs that I actively follow at this point.

Lilia: *chatting about Silver's childhood*
Ash, staring at Silver, realizing several things: oh my god, are you a changling?
*Malleus and Sebek choke on their tea. Silver looks confused*
Lilia, gasping: I'm not a cradle snatcher! That's been outlawed for centuries!
Ash: you Just Said you kid-
Lilia: I was joking! I found him abandoned in a cottage!
Ash: . . . *narrowing her gaze at him in suspicion*
Lilia: I'm not a baby thief! Malleus, tell her!
Malleus: Lilia would not. . . However I did not meet Silver until he was nearly 2 years old.
Ash, slamming her hands on the rable: I KNEW IT!

so.. has anyone else noticed that Q!Fit has not called Q!Pac his "roommate" even once after he'd confessed that he likes him? (except the one time when phil had tried to insinuate they're married because that was too far for fit).
because i've just noticed that it suddenly feels strange to hear someone call them that when 2 weeks ago we were all making jokes about it and then realised that right, fit has admitted his feelings aloud now so he no longer needs to hide them behind code names.
and it ties back to the fact that he's not been denying he misses pac after he got kidnapped. the entire pretense was broken after his son had shown concern for him. and after he'd said it out loud once, it was as if he was suddenly free to speak about this secret he's been trying to hold for so long.
as tragic as it is that pac disappeared 2 weeks after fit had overcome this huge barrier, this is such a huge development for him nonetheless.
