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

okay but the parallel between hardison using eliot as an example of redemption to harry in the panamanian monkey job and eliot saying he could never be redeemed (and he’s made peace with that) to sophie in the finale

fun story about me is that as a small child I had a tiny precious plastic Little Guy that I took everywhere. named Dinnerboy. (kids are good at names) anyway I Tragically Lost Him at the age of nine and there was forever a little piece of me that never got over it

WELL I was looking for something completely different on Ebay last week and It Appeared. a pristine unopened 20 year old Safari Ltd. Toob ™. for a very reasonable price also. of a make, and with preview images, that immediately lit a fire in a deep beloved pocket of my brain.

as of today

Imagine if Lakan had connected the dots much earlier. Do you think he'd leave his studies ( or whatever he was doing) And imagine coming back after 3 years and found out all of that happen to the person you'll loved like the way she had to basically sell herself after getting

thinking about how none of the other rat grinders showed up to help ruben... thinking about how despite seeing wanda (someone he presumably cares about) getting hurt the most ruben does is pass out bardic inspiration...

I love to complain about Stranger Martha living in the post-apocalyptic wasteland for absolutely no reason when time travel was always available to her, and that it kind of cheapened her character in an attempt to perfectly mirror Stranger Jonas, but.......it just hit me that she didn't do that bc she had to. She willingly put herself through that misery bc that is what her older self had done. It was part of her path towards Eva and towards making everything work. She did it bc it was her duty to do so. And that is.......such a fascinating mirror to Jonas' struggles in the post-apocalypse in his world. She was the perfect mirror, but in that she would willingly live through the apocalypse and its hardships while Jonas wouldn't.

adams 2023/24 season is a tribute to yelims 2022/23 season and therefore he will have a redemption skate with a pb in the free tonight in this essay i will...

okay lets start of with the music adams free music this season includes 'mercy' which, as we all know, was yelims sp music last season

now getting into the actual season: both had very strong starts to their season, both won their challenger/other intl assignments and both did better than expected in the gp (adam two gold medals, yelim gold + silver) where both won against the reigning world champion (yelim against kaori at nhk, adam against shoma at coc) both then qualified for gpf where... things did not go well (both were last after the short bc both popped a jump) but both got back to their earlier form at their respective nats (yelim got silver, adam won nats) and then they both medaled at 4cc/euros (adam gold, yelim silver) and then worlds sp was a nightmare for both (both had issues with their lutz and their combo) which ended with yelim being in the 2nd group in the free and adam in the 1st group for the free after being serious medal contenders now yelims 2023 worlds is something that We Do Not Talk About bc it did not get better in the free but yelim did then go to wtt where after a disappointing short she ended the season with an amazing redemption skate (that made me cry in public) and a pb in the free obviously this season wtt is not happening therefore in order to complete his yelim tribute adam will come back extremly strong in the free tonight (maybe not medal as we would have hoped before the sp but a strong end to the season nonetheless)

WAIT IS HE CALLED KAITO KID BECAUSE HE’S A KID THAT FLIES ON A KITE??????😭😭

[klaissance]

is this anything???

It’s a dreary January Tuesday when Lance laces up his first-ever pair of ice skates and steps out onto the ice at Garrison Tech’s hockey rink, newly opened for free-skate to students and staff on weekdays from 12-2. The rental skates are ruddy, creased and caked in mud and dust and general oldness that has soaked in and turned the white a grimey yellow. They’re a little pinchy and a little loose in all the wrong places, the backs rubbing hard against his exposed ankles, unstable as he wobbles through his first steps on knives on ice. He lifts one foot, then the other. Just like walking, McClain. A deep breath. He’s gone exactly nowhere. The ice sprawls out before him, and only now, as he drifts listlessly away from the wall, does it occur to Lance that this might have been a very bad idea.

the thing abt beyond evil is that its rewatch value is insane

[astro-nautics]

its so weird to realize as an adult that you got bullied as a kid. people will be sharing their experiences and you're just there like "ah yeah, i got bullied as well. but i wasn't aware of it at the time, so i think it didn't affect me the same"

and they'll be like "??? wym you weren't aware?" and then you have to reveal that you're the most oblivious fucker on the planet actually
