I enjoy maned wolves and I love Jett, they're so silly

I looked up what a maned wolf actually is after Sherb's first WW stream and...

no wonder Jett is so silly goofy just look at this thing

I think maybe it is like. lanky in a very weird way. like his arms and legs are a little too long for his body so he looks a bit unsettling.

(also I love how the new character progression from Sherb has gone

tiny teenage nerd -> giant man built like a brick shithouse -> weird scrunkly lanky fella

I just think its neat/pos)

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

Dear Arkansas Daughter - Lady Lamb

Soap living up to his callsign and being a slippery bastard to pin down—friendly yet distant, always performing, masking, etc—and Ghost, lovesick, trying really hard to get a hold of him.

Thinking about Icarixis again

Them looking at our world and wondering why people chose to impersonate them,-wear their jacket or make their wings- write about them, appreciate them despite the bad things they did and hold their character as something special to them.

Even just to us we appreciate Icarus’s myth in poetry and art and music and twist it in so many ways that make it something and to them their father names them after a tragedy because they could never live up to a hero’s name could they

Anyways thinking about them

I actually love this, it's so cute and I'm also a techie so it's great

Might've gone insane over this idea. Technician Ghost and Roach x Musician Soap on tour by @troutonduty . Rambles on details below cut.

Okay so I was a theatre tech which is a bit different but here's the breakdown on each outfit. They're both based on my own gear or friends gear. Both have those pants with insane numbers of pockets. (If we felt there weren't enough pockets, we sewed more on lol) Ghost gives me sound tech vibes so he's got that hard case backpack for carrying computers and components for on the fly fixes in tracks, sunglasses make sense for the bright ass stage lights, and he's got all those extension cords he's got to lug about. (If we had to carry big loops for cords, the easiest way is like a bandolier, so that's what I did for him.) Roach gives me lighting tech vibes so he's got one million pockets for things, gaff tape, electrical tape, and one of those pouches made for nails or screws that goes on the belt so nothing inside pokes you. Plus he's got a wrench (again, modeled how I did things with the fixed up handle for grip and carabineer attachment to belt for ease of carrying.) Gloves and masks make sense for handling equipment and not breathing in dust and I think Roaches glasses are more safety glasses than sunglasses like ghosts. Anyway sorry for rambling I just love being a technician and will talk forever.

I need to read these

do you have any ghostsoap favorite fics, perhaps?

boy do I....

I should preface this by saying that I'm pretty...particular with what types of fics I enjoy reading (I only like certain character interpretations/tropes/writing styles, etc) so bear with me...

These are all mostly canon-compliant, non-AUs, ones that I regard highly~

Seasons--by StinglessWasp: This is pretty much my go-to fic rec for anyone into CoD and ghostsoap in general. It showcases everything I love about these characters, in a setting that feels as authentic to the games as possible, while also exploring the depth and sincerity hidden under the surface. So well-written and paced--the dialogue and military references all contribute to that 'feels like a mission out of the game' experience. Plus, I just love this interpretation of our boys--the humor, the inner struggles, the intimacy--Wasp 100% *gets* these characters and it's a joy to read <3

Except You, You Can Stay--by Iravaid: While this one isn't *technically* ghostsoap until the last chapter, in my opinion, it's required reading for anyone who gives a shit about Simon Riley. This is *the* character study--an intimate dissection of Ghost's past that seems so realistic and grounded, you forget how ludicrous those comics really are. Ira takes such care in treating these heavy topics with delicacy and effectiveness. Each chapter has you going 'oh wow, this is even better than the last', but as a whole--it's a stunning, fleshed-out glimpse into Simon as the character he was always meant to be. And the final chapter which eases you into his relationship with Johnny is so authentic and sweet, it just makes perfect sense that they should be together, and that this poor poor man deserves some goddamn love <3

bleeding in the house of god--by revolvermonkcelot: This is a really great 'missing scene' fic, a perfect opportunity to explore the in-between moments that the game so carelessly chooses to gloss over. I can't praise Monk's writing enough--it's slick and crisp and very tasty; the imagery just jumps off the page and you can practically feel the sweat. Plus, the dialogue exchanges between our two boys are so well-timed and in-character--love all the slang and British references~ This whole fic reads like an addition to their mission flirting, and I'm all for it! You can truly tell this author has such deep understanding and experience with this franchise (winkwinkwink, this is a joke) Read it--it's good!

The Dead are all Living--by Kabbal: This fic blew me away when I first read it. It's such a unique take on the retirement trope, I just adore this interpretation of Simon as an aging recluse while he builds his home. I tend to lean towards more subtle, grounded characterizations of Mr Riley, and this really fits the bill. All of these glimpses and fragments into his post-military life contribute to an overarching love story; the scenes with Johnny are so poignant, it's like you're pining alongside them both. I love how not-perfect they are; flawed and difficult and real. There are some moments and lines that just....struck something in me so deeply. I'm sure I'll still be thinking about it for a long long time <3

Portrait of Taction--by a_platypus: Another Simon-centric fic that I absolutely love. The character voice in this is off the charts, I can hear him so vividly in all of his inner dialogue and stunted attempts at conversation. Simon is so endearingly dense in this fic, you're just waiting for him to finally get his act together, but the clumsy, oblivious steps he takes in his relationship with Soap are truly a treat to read. I love this version of Johnny too--confident and considerate, but still hopelessly crushing on his superior. It's comedic, well-written, and the paragraphs describing Soap's journal give some of the best insights into his character I've seen <3

come on, haunt me--by flyby2: This was a really good long fic that I took my time savoring. What could have been a typical 'on leave' fic instead took time to develop a unique spin on the backstories as well as throwing our boys into some wholesome encounters. Both Soap and Ghost felt very true to character, and I appreciate the exploration of PTSD and the subsequent struggles that come along with...all that. There was a really nice balance in having their romance spread across the chapters, and I can promise a very sweet, happy conclusion <3

in the mess of it all--by flowersferns: A lovely one-shot that exhibits some of my favorite aspects of these two characters. I'm a sucker for 'one of them is hurt, the other is freaking out, they are both idiots in love, etc'. There are some really great dialogue and character moments in this, plus the overall prose hits hard. Love this take on their romance--the mutual trust, the familiarity of their bond. And just the general theme of impermanence--the inevitability of what this relationship means for them--two soldiers, willing and ready to sacrifice their lives at a moment's notice, still clinging to each other because...god...that's all they have---big fan of this :'D <3

Lapsus--by Lisbetadair: Another really great one-shot and 'missing scene' fic. The authenticity in the writing is spot-on--it's like you can feel Soap's pain right off the bat. I love how smoothly the banter flows between the two, and the attention to detail and references all help lend to that 'hardened military man' exterior. Ghost smelling like flowers because of a face wipe is such a delightful addition, plus the scene where Soap is, ah, donald-ducking it in just a t-shirt with his jewels out is such a funny mental image, I still think of it fondly from time to time. It's funny, it's surprisingly cute, it's very in-character. Stick around for some awkward but adorable cuddles <3

I'm sure I have more to recommend, but these are the ones I can personally endorse for now~

"that's not a character arc, that's a goddamn character sine wave."

-me, describing icarus morningstar to my sister

I literally always think this for any wet birds vs prison duo discussion. Let them be poly!!

Chat, Icarus has two hands. Let them kith the homies about it.

Let them be smitten over dead men who came back to life.

You can still support a gays right and wrongs in Wet Prison Birds as a part of it is Prison Duo.

Also, bare in mind this is probably how it started:

But now all three of them get to kiss each other about it and be wholesome in a QPR way about it. And we love it for them.

They have two hands for a reason. It's to polycule.
