i don't think that soap is a picky eater AT ALL. but whenever he doesn't like the taste of something, he will slip it onto ghost's plate, who absolutely inhales everything that is given to him

ghoap height difference appreciation post✨️

some soap screenshots i took while replaying the mwii campaign

141 updated height headcanons/analysis

for gaz, price, and ghost there's not really much to headcanon because their (actors) heights are known. and personally, i just assume that the characters are the same height as their actors.

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick

183cm (6'0)

= just elliot's height

John Price

188cm (6'2)

= also just barry's real height

Simon "Ghost" Riley

191cm (6'3)

= samuel's height IRL

John "Soap" MacTavish

now this is where it gets complicated

we don't actually know how tall neil ellice is

most websites list his height as being unknown, and others claim heights ranging from 5'8 to 5'11... yeah

we only know that he called himself "tiny" in comparison to samuel. that's all lmao (video below the cut if you're interested)

so let's do some (shitty) analysing

obviously this should be taken with a grain of salt since ghost & soap are moving around in these images which could mess with the accuracy. but it gives us an idea of how tall soap COULD be... give or take 177cm (something in between 5'9 and 5'10)

i'm not claiming that soap definitely has to be that height. it's just a wild guess based on these imagines i slapped together

love how everyone can just confirm that samuel is a freaking giant

i can't stop thinking about ghost meeting soap's toddler nephew & niece for the first time, and the little ones are just staring at simon's face so intensively because they've never seen scars like that

ghost would surely come up with the most random made up stories to make them feel less afraid or just to fuck with them

"this one? oh yeah, i fell off my bicycle a few years ago because i wasn't careful enough" and it's a literal glasgow smile

later, when they're alone, simon jokes to soap about how he hopes that they're not going to a swimming pool any time soon because he can't come up with a good fake story for his autopsy scar

and funnily enough, this scenario could be applied to post 2023!soap as well in a way. because surely someone had to explain to these little kids why their uncle suddenly has a huge scar on one side of his head

or perhaps they just slap a bandaid on soap's head and say that he hit his head in an accident or something along those lines, and refuse to elaborate further

i replayed the 2019 campaign, took some screenshots and whew... gaz really is the most gorgeous boy

[skulldetergent]

some cinematic MW screenshots

[skulldetergent]

@wombywoo 's ghoap artbook!

the quality of the prints is great, and it's amazing to have all of these beautiful artworks compiled in one book. i'm in love <3

ghost who's trying to get soap to stop smoking, so every time he sees him lighting a cigarette he just sprays him with a water spray bottle like you'd do with a misbehaving dog

[skulldetergent]

ghost, just chilling while watching TV: ...

soap, sitting on his lap and taking ghost's glasses off to get his attention: simon-

ghost, not amused: you bastard, do you want me to remove your hearing aids every time i want your attention?

[skulldetergent]

soap who sleeps naked 12 months a year x ghost who goes to bed with long pyjama trousers and a hoodie even in summer

[skulldetergent]

this is silly, but ghost and soap playing rock paper scissors whenever they disagree on something (ghost always rolls his eyes at it, but secretly, he finds it endearing how hyped soap gets when he wins)

those "disagreements" range from what kind of takeout to get, who gets to drive, to who takes a shower first at home

[skulldetergent]

i like to think that soap finds out that ghost is jewish in the most stupid way because simon never talks about himself. i can think of a few possible scenarios...

for example, before christmas everyone on base is just talking about how they're looking forward to going on leave & spending time with their family, celebrating. but when soap asks ghost what he's doing on christmas, ghost just mutters something about staying on base and working. poor johnny is horrified upon remembering that ghost doesn't have any family left- soap goes on about how ghost can't possibly spend christmas alone on base, because thats just too sad

then, ghost is like "johnny, i don't even celebrate christmas"

"what kind of person doesn't celebrate christmas?! the grinch?? you must be joking with me, lt..."

ghost can't help but smile under the mask while he looks at soap. he loves that stupid man.

"i'm jewish, johnny."

"oh." ghost can see the cogs turning in johnny's head. "and i was already starting to feel bad for you, you bastard! why didn't you say so sooner!"

after that, soap tries his best to learn all about different jewish holidays (there are a lot!), and makes sure that ghost isn't alone during major ones.

or perhaps soap finds out in a more intimate way (slight nsft warning)

like, after sucking him off for example. they're just laying next to each other in bed, and soap's curiosity takes the upper hand. "by the way, why are you circumcised?"

ghost just looks at him with this 'are you serious' expression. "why aren't you?" he retorts finally. soap snorts.

"what? you can't blame me for asking a question. is it like a cosmetic thing or?"

and yeah, ghost really can't blame soap for being curious. circumcision is fairly uncommon in the UK after all.

"no, i'm jewish, you wanker"

"what? really? is this how i find out?" soap sits up, feeling incredibly stupid now. "i can't believe i just sucked your dick for like the eleventh time or something and-"

"are you keeping track of blowjobs?" ghost raises an eyebrow.

"no, don't change the topic now-" soap shushes him. "i think i don't know nearly enough about you considering the fact that i-"

"sucked me off eleven times?" ghost finishes his sentence. soap playfully flicks his forehead.

the evening ends with soap forcing ghost to tell him more about himself, until he feels like he's not cuddling ghost, but simon.

i love to imagine this beautiful, carefully planned, and thought out wedding ceremony for ghost and soap, but if i'm honest with myself then they'd probably just secretly elope on a cliff in scotland or something like that

[skulldetergent]

ghost is a liar, his pale skin absolutely can not handle the sun

"impeccable bronze" hmm

give it half an hour at the beach and he's got the impeccable complexion of a lobster

soap on the other hand... he was blessed with the ability of tanning without turning into seafood, but suffers from severe tan lines. the next time he's showering, ghost is laughing his ass off at the sight of soap's pasty cheeks

[skulldetergent]

i love that they remembered to give Laswell a wedding ring
