Operation Ajax may well have been when the British Empire passed the "bigger asshole" torch to the CIA.

I'm watching Dune (2021) on Tubi. I'm a newb to this franchise and I know more about the author than the series itself, but I have to say I am stunned that more people don't see the parallels between Dune and the oil wars in the Middle East right away.

Holy shit Ajax is so close to figuring it out!! Zhongli is lucky that he grabbed the guy who knew he wasn’t human with the radio but at the same time. Dude. Least subtle string of events ever
ajax is indeed close to getting it, but i'm not sure this situation in particular was like- unsubtle? ajax only clocked it in as weird bc 1) he knows he's not human 2) he's realized zhongli just does not know the names of some things and 3) he's realized there's a good chance zhongli has never interacted with most technology and is just (somehow) apparently winging it but like, from a non-ajax pov, nothing about this sequence would've been necesarily weird. zhongli never stated he doesn't know what a walkietalkie is, ajax just (correctly) assumed that bit. he said "i've never used one of these before"; that's not a weird thing to say. you have an oldschool radio and you can't figure it out so you pass it over and say hey yeah never used one of these before. that's not weird. people don't assume you don't know what a radio is from that, this is just ajax' brain firing at all these things bc he already knows zhongli isn't human and not knowing how to use a military-grade walkitalkie- unless i'm missing something, that's not- weird. is it? is it weird to not know how to use a military grade handheld radio? yeah this version of teyvat probably had an equivalent to our motorolas before they got smartphones and yeah czl is in that age range but like still. if someone told me they don't know how to use an, again, military grade walkietalkie, i wouldn't be werided out by it. i can handle a motorola but i've never held a cop's walkietalkie so idk
maybe i'm wrong on that last bit tho who knows

I'm genuinely impressed you were able to create a timeline! :D
timeline
@a-chaotic-dumbass @nysus-temple here it is!! also tagging @godsofhumanity because you said something about calydonian boar hunt which i mention ever so briefly. the links will take you to fics i have written about the aforementioned occurrence since i will shamelessly take any chance to plug my writing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Telamon (22) kills his younger half-brother, so both he and Peleus (19) are exiled by their father. Peleus is taken in by his uncle and marries his cousin. He eventually joins the Calydonian Boar Hunt, and accidentally kills his uncle/father-in-law, resulting in his fleeing for a second time. In this second exile he is accused of attempted infidelity by the King’s wife, whom he shunned. The news reaches his own wife, who kills herself, leaving the throne of Pthia to him. The King chases Peleus for revenge, organizing an attack on him by centaurs on Mount Pelion. Chiron aids Peleus and saves his life. This whole fiasco takes 9 years to unfold.
Peleus’ (28) success during the Boar Hunt results in his marriage to Thetis. A year after the wedding, he joins Jason on the Argo. Thetis gives birth to 6 boys before Achilles is born but they all die in infancy.
Priam (27) and Hecuba (25) introduce Paris (0) into the world and almost immediately abandon him into the wild. So far they’ve had Hector (8), his sister (7), Deiphobus (5) and the twins Cassandra and Helenus (4)
4 years later, Achilles (0) is born and dunked in the Styx; Thetis then leaves Peleus (34).
Phoenix (35) gets exiled and comes Phthia because Peleus (35) is his friend, Achilles (1) is living with his dad, he and childless Phoenix bond.
Patroclus (8) kills his playmate over losing a game of petteia; his father sends him away, Peleus (40) empathizes and takes him in, Patroclus and Achilles (5) meet for the first time (ROUGH SEAS)
Menelaus (16) and Agamemnon (21) seek asylum in Sparta, Clytemnestra (14) is immediately infatuated by Agamemnon, Helen (14) not so much. Castor and Pollux (14) are interested in the stories they have to tell.
Agamemnon (22) leaves Sparta to overthrow Aegisthus (20) in Mycenae; he (23) returns to ask for Clytemnestra’s (16) hand in marriage but she’s already married. He kills Tantalus and son (<1) and gets engaged to her (BLOOD-RED HANDS).
Helen (16) gets kidnapped by Theseus about a month later, the Dioscuri (16) bring her back; Clytemnestra (16) and Agamemnon’s (23) wedding gets pulled forward despite the mourning period out of fear for Clytemnestra’s wellbeing and because she is displaying symptoms of pregnancy. Peleus (43) leaves Achilles (9) and Patroclus (12) to go on a military expedition to Troy with Hercules and Telamon (46). When he returns it’s all he talks about and Achilles becomes obsessed with the idea of Troy. Podarkes/Priam (40) earns his epithet when his father (65) gets killed, Hector (21) has his first experiences with war. Telamon takes Priam’s sister as a concubine and she births Teucer, Ajax is 14 at the time.
Helen (18) gets wed off to Menelaus (20). Odysseus (22) marries Penelope (20), Agamemnon (25) and Clytemnestra (18) already have Iphigenia (1) and she’s heavily pregnant (OLIVE TREE)
Achilles (11) gets sent to Charon as a method of education, by now he and Patroclus (14) are inseparable.
Achilles (13) comes back home from Charon and teaches Patroclus everything he learned.
Helen (25) leaves Sparta with Paris (22) (WATCH THE STARS COLLAPSE), Hector (30) freaks out (GATES OF TROY); Achilles (18) impregnates Deidamia (17); Odysseus (29), Agamemnon (32), and Menelaus (27) come and get him for war (SKYROS); Penelope (27) is left alone with Telemachus (1) (CRAZY FOR YOU) and Orestes (10) and Pylades (12) are sent to Sparta to stay with Hermione (6) for her protection.
Achilles (18) goes to Phthia, his father (52) gives him gifts and weapons, Achilles takes Patroclus (21) and Phoenix (52) with him (SAY YOU REMEMBER ME). At Aulis, Iphigenia (11) is brought in as a supposed bride for Achilles, but she is sacrificed (WEDDING ALTARS AND SACRIFICIAL SHRINES). Electra (10) and Chrysothemis (4) are now alone with their mother.
Achilles (25) kills Andromache’s (35) family and she flees to Troy, where she remeets Hector (37) whom she knows from 29 years prior. They get married and a year later Andromache gives birth to Scamandrius/Astyanax.

captivemuses asked:
"Bold of you to assume I've been touching the hips of anyone outside Mondstat to compare. We're keeping it to just yours." Leaning forward to rest his forehead against Kaeya's, of course Childes hands weren't loosening their hold at all or moving Kaeya away from him. But no worry, he could twist Kaeyas words right back to remind his lover that /he/ was the only person Childe wanted his hands to be on. And maybe another squeeze to them for good measure to punctuate that point.
Tumblr media
Kaeya's features are tainted with incredulity as Childe talks back. An eyebrow slightly raises, though his grin very much remains as he releases a laugh in disbelief. This guy... He truly is something. A troublemaker of the finest quality. Even Kaeya, who has grown used to Childe's particular ways, failed to foresee him twisting his words in return. Perhaps the knight's antics are starting to transfer to Childe. Life truly is full of mystery and surprises.
Having the ginger rest his forehead against his is a sweet sight to experience, and one which would be welcomed with utmost endearment if only the knight did not have a special glow in his eye. As the master plan is crafted and ready to be put into practice, there is a slight defiance to his voice tone.
«Oh, please. You would never feel the need to touch another's when you got full access to these, completely at your disposal». His choice of words is deliberate. «Your words confirm it, dearest Harbinger. There is no comparison to be made». Touché. He is waiting for your next comeback, Childe. Do him the favor of keeping him entertained, will you?
... ... ...
Tumblr media
Or... maybe not? Since, soon after, Kaeya is stealing a bold kiss. Perhaps that is his own way of shutting Childe up. It usually works.

So here I'm thinking I must be doing something wrong because I can't figure out how to make this UI dingus I'm working on do what it needs to do without generating two AJAX requests rather than one, then for the sake of comparison I load up an allegedly best-in-class enterprise CRM to see how it's handled there, and discover that an equivalent operation somehow manages to hit the server seventy(!) separate times, and you know what? I think I might actually be on the right track.

modern au?? where ajax is just a snezhnayan soldier who misses his home after being stationed at base close to his hometown.
warnings: !!MDNI!! fem!reader, smut, blowjobs, dry humping, implied angst but not really, war talks, snow storm fuckings yayyyy, not proofread, idk shit about the military this is in a made up world and we're not reading this to learn about that anyway<3
Tumblr media
There is no cold like Snezhnayan winters, but the chill of war comes pretty close. The 11th regiment was recently positioned dangerously close to his hometown, to guard a base while strategic operations were being discussed among the military leaders. Only a few soldiers were placed outside, to walk certain sections of the fenced and barb wire walls that enclose the base. Ajax was one of the unlucky few. Snowflakes drifted down from the pitch black sky, only shining briefly under the warm light of the lantern attached to the wall. Ajax didn't pace the wall as he was told to. He stood near the lantern, hugging himself even though he was bundled up from his toes to his head. The only bit of skin that was shown was the bridge of his nose and rosy cheek where his scarf was parted from his hat to see.
He didn't feel unsafe here like he would in any other base. He knew this town, he knew no fool would try to run through the woods to get inside and he knew that only a native to the land would even begin to know how to navigate such dense fauna. He set his rifle against the fence and tucked his gloved hands under his armpits.
Home.. he thought. Mama, papa, his brothers and sisters... and you. It's been three years since he had seen any of you. Anton and Teucer are probably so tall. His mama probably has more wrinkles from his papa's antics. And you're probably just as beautiful as when he left you. He's yet to see any real battle, only serving as guards and relaying intel. He hoped it stayed that way. He wanted to come back to you the way he left, whole and hearty, no more damaged than he already is. Though he knows that's wildly unrealistic. He leant his head against the wire fencing, sighing heavily and feeling the warmth of his breath spread through his scarf. At least he's not leaving children behind like some of his comrades are... though his younger siblings matter just as much to him.
A snap from the forest before him draws him out of his head and he sits up, waiting to see a wild animal or teenager, but what emerged was neither. A figure, shrouded in a heavy fur cloak, trudging heavily through the bracken. Readying his gun, Ajax began to walk toward the figure.
"Stop right there. State your business," he said loudly enough for the figure to hear. Standard protocol gave him the right of way to shoot any trespasser... but he didn't want to take the chance it may some lost person. In the middle of the night. During a storm watch. Maybe he had too much good in his heart.
The figure stopped when he said to, then lifted their hands to pull down their hood. Ajax jerked his arm, ready to shoot, but even in the midst of the hazy night, he could recognize her, the way her hair framed her face, the color of her skin, the pull of her eyes that the light of the lanterns just barely hit. He dropped his weapon in shock, watching as you ran to him, reaching for his coat, his arms, anything you could get your fingers around.
"What are you-" His arms wrapped around your shaking body as you fell into his chest, holding you close as if the wind would carry you away. He backed to the metal fence and tucked you into a stone corner foundation to shield you from the icy wind. You were bundled up like you left the house with intentions to travel. "What are you doing here?" He asked, tucking your head back into your hood, but holding it so he could still see your face. He felt his heart may burst, but his nerves were on fire. If anyone were to spot you and tell, it could end badly for the both of you. One tear from you shook those thoughts from his mind and he pulled his scarf down to kiss your cheeks. Perhaps reasoning doesn't matter right now.
He felt your mitts come up to hold his face to your own, your noses pressing together intimately. Ajax closed his eyes for a few moments before opening them again. "What are you doing here, silly girl?" He asks, gently shaking you by your hood, drawing a laugh from your tear stained lips.
"Some from your regiment came into town today, at the market... I overheard them saying you would be on guard duty," you say, blinking up at him as though you didn't just harbor private intel and use it to your own advantage. He couldn't help but laugh, leaning down into the warmth of your neck. He pressed his cold nose against your skin, but you couldn't find it within yourself to push him off. "I needed to see you."
"Needed?" he asked.
"Needed." You bite your mitt, tugging it off your hand. Ajax tries to catch it, to re-cover you but he's too slow. You press your warm palm to his freezing cheek and he melts. Skin. He takes your hand in his, pressing kisses to your palm, evolving into open mouthed and his tongue on your fingers when you press them to his lips.
"Did you come here to get us in trouble?" He asks, puffing warm air onto your fingers before pressing them back to his lips.
His lips are so warm despite the freezing temperature. You probably had a hand in that. "Well, it sounds like you were bored," laughing, watching his eyes follow your fingers as they trail across his features and his eyes follow their ever move, as if you’re holding a treat to a dog. But you are the treat. "Two of your generals were talking about how they stationed you out here to get some peace," you laugh.
Ajax is appalled at first before his lips stretch into a wide smile. "Well... that shows them. Gossiping in public.." He coaxes you into giving a description of the two generals, most likely for later when he wants something and then he gathers you in his arms wrap around you once more. For a while the two of you stand there in silence, him holding you, cherishing your weight against him, as if he may never feel you again.
"I brought some photos," you say, reaching into your coat to pull out a little envelope. The photos are of varying quality, funny pictures of his family, some endearing. He hardly recognizes them, they've grown so much. His eyes well with tears and he cups your face, planting multiple wet kisses on your face in thanks, hastily tucking the envelope deep into his shirt pocket.
You pull a second envelope from your pocket, this one thinner. "And um, some of me," you say, watching him open it warily, half tempted to take it back from him. He pulls the first photo from the dampened paper and his eyes nearly bulge at the sight. Photos he's taken of you during the late nights. Half dressed, completely naked, in the tub, posing on the bed. As he flips through them and as he reaches the back, he sees a few he doesn't recognize, recent pictures. He lingers on these, committing your body to his memory.
"Stop staring," you interrupt him shyly, reaching up to cover the picture only for him to pull it away from your mitt.
"No way. These are mine now, I get to stare." He kisses your cheek before flipping to the next new photo. Your beautiful form... it's the same as he remembers. He can count each special mole, each stretch mark, each little scar. It's all still there despite his absence.
He feels your hands push their way into his coat, using the fabric and his body heat for warmth. He sighs deeply, putting the photos into his shirt pocket with the others before burying his nose into your hair. The smell of your hair brings him memories of lazy mornings in a warm bed... If he closed his eyes tight enough he could feel the sheets and your skin. He presses his lips to your neck, nuzzling through your hair and scarf far enough to make contact with your skin. He bites gently at the tender flesh, but when he hears your gasp, it makes his jaw clench.
"Aja-" you moan loudly and quickly, you stuff your mitt in your mouth. He pulls away from your neck, half heartedly stifling a laugh.
"Ah, so you have been faithful," he teases, caressing the apple of your cheek. You make a face at him, pressing your hips closer to his and he responds by catching your leg and leaning against the wall. He kisses you again as the two of you grind mindlessly against each other. Three years of starvation, give or take. He's already hard. He's probably been hard since he saw you- you think to yourself with a little chuckle. He nips at your lips, his own grunts and groans entering your mouth, dancing on your tongue before plummeting into the pit of your stomach. He lifts you up, pressing you against the brick wall, sloppy kisses keeping your mouth occupied as he grinds his hard on into your core. You tighten your legs around his waist to further the sensation.
He's going to cum from this, he realizes. It's going to stain the front of his pants and make a terrible mess and everyone will know.. unless he pulls them down. Holding you with one arm and unbuckling with the other, he begins shucking his pants down enough to pull his length out of it's confines.
"Ajax you're going to get sick, it's too cold-" you mumble with swollen lips. He soothes you with a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm about to finish and if it's in my pants, then.." he doesn't finish( his sentence), his gloved hand stroking himself as he begins to kiss you again. You reach down with a leg, toeing at the ground until he lets you go. He watches you, confused before he realizes what you're doing. You kneel before him and blow warm air onto his member like he did your fingers. And then you take him into your mouth. Ajax braces himself against the wall, biting his fist to cover any too-loud sounds he would no doubt make. You can still hear every whimper that escapes him as you suck on his tip, lick at the veins, cup his balls with your mitt. His hips do mini thrusts into your warm mouth and you let him, flicking your tongue out to tease his tip each time he pulls out.
It doesn't take long for him to finish, and he begins to pull out as he does. He's sticky in your mouth and down your neck, on your chest. He practically collapses in the snow next to you and you quickly reach out to pull his pants back up before he freezes his balls off (literally).
You check the time on his pocket watch. "Ajax, I should probably leave before I push my luck," you say reluctantly, caressing his cheek and shoulders. He grumbles, leaning forward to wrap around you. Ever the post-coital cuddler. You can't deny that. So you wrap your own arms around him as he pulls you into his lap against the stone. You'll push your luck until you hit the brick wall. This is love and war, after all... And you're sure he'll come home to you.

Operation Oreo
Tumblr media
Wrote this cause @ortegalvr and @cobaltperun inspired me a little. Never thought I would write fluff.
Summary: A jealous Wednesday buys you Oreos...
It had taken an hour of pleading, sweet-talking, and even a few light-hearted bribes, but you’d finally managed to get Wednesday to agree to go with you to the carnival. She was by your side now, looking as out of place as ever in her all-black attire, her expression one of deep displeasure.
Wednesday scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze, her mind undoubtedly filled with thoughts of a million better things she could be doing. The only reason she hadn't slipped away into the shadows was because of you. Her loyalty, or perhaps something more, kept her grounded. Still, she was just about ready to tell you that she was leaving when a lanky boy from Ajax’s group approached.
"Hey, I got these for you," the boy said, holding out a open packet of Oreos. "I remember you mentioned these were your favorite."
You blinked in pleasant surprise, smiling as you accepted one from the packet. "Thank you! That's really thoughtful."
You laughed at something he said, and Wednesday's eyes narrowed. She wasn’t entirely sure if Oreos were your favorite, though she was mildly annoyed at herself for not knowing. But any regret she felt was quickly overshadowed by a surge of jealousy as she watched the boy inch closer to you, clearly enjoying your attention a bit too much for her liking.
Without a word, Wednesday turned on her heel and strode through the crowd, her eyes locking onto Enid, who was in line for food. The werewolf was balancing a tray of snacks when Wednesday grabbed her arm and yanked her out of the line.
“Wednesday! What gives? I’m going to lose my spot!” Enid complained, nearly dropping everything as she was dragged along.
“Where can I find a carton of Oreos?” Wednesday asked, her tone flat but her eyes flashing with an emotion Enid struggled to decipher.
Enid’s confusion only lasted a moment before she spotted the boy sharing his Oreos with you and your smile. A grin spread across her face as she pieced it together. “Ohhh, I see what this is about. Wednesday Addams, jealous? I never thought I’d see the day!”
“Enid.” Wednesday’s voice was a warning, cold enough to shut Enid up, but not before she couldn’t resist teasing her one last time.
"Don't worry, Ajax and I will help you with Operation Oreo."
The next thing you knew, you and Wednesday were sitting in the backseat of Ajax’s car as he drove, Enid beside him literally choking because it was too hard to hold the laughter inside.
Enid had practically shoved you inside. The car was crammed with packs of Oreos, a ridiculous amount, so many that there was barely any room for the two of you to sit. The sight was so absurd that it took everything you had not to burst out laughing.
Wednesday, on the other hand, was staring intently out the window, refusing to meet your gaze. Her shoulders were tense, and you could see the faintest hint of pink on her pale cheeks.
You knew this gesture, this utterly nonsensical yet endearing over-the-top display, had been her way of staking a claim, of showing that she cared in her own peculiar way.
You reached over and gently touched her hand. “Wednesday…”
She turned to you, her eyes softening just a fraction. “He shouldn’t have given you those Oreos. It should've been me. I should have known they were your favorite.”
You finally let the giggle escape, your heart swelling with affection. “It’s okay. You know now, and you didn’t have to do all this.”
Wednesday frowned, glancing around at the mountains of cookies surrounding you both. “Perhaps it was… excessive.”
“Maybe a little,” you teased lightly. “But it’s the thought that counts. I love that you’d do something like this for me, Wednesday. It means a lot.”
“Let’s never speak of this again,” she said, though the corner of her mouth twitched upward.
You nodded, still holding back your laughter. “Agreed.”
Some Oreos between you two crumbled in their packets as you moved closer to her to put your head on her shoulder, who cares about broken Oreos? You like KitKats more anyway.
[ Author's note: Its been exactly one year since Celine left. Its been a rough year old friend, I miss exploring the lands between with you.]
Our other works are here.

Tumblr media
First ever real blurb out here in Tumblr.
The following is the final version a lil enconium i did for Keegan- which by the way I had to present to my class and got graded on. They knew shit nothing about CoD so if you yourself are new to CoD ghosts, specifically keegan as a character, I'd recommend reading!! ( @141plagueriley 🫶 )
I'll also include some PowerPoint slides i did to go along with my enconium! Which is basically a speech glazing keegan for 6 minutes straight ☺️
Tumblr media
This post looks so un-aestetic but I'll start under the cut
Introduction and background~
Tumblr media
It is both frequently and heavily debated by many whether Call of Duty: Ghosts has one of the best or worst campaigns for several different reasons. Yet one thing that pretty much everyone can agree on is that the character, Sargeant Keegan P. Russ, is one of the most iconic and well-liked in the entire Ghosts franchise. Born in Texas, 1989, Keegan serves as a key supporting character: as the Ghost's designated scout sniper, fighting alongside the playable character, Logan Walker and the rest of the Ghosts. He can easily be identified by his signature ghost balaclava and his blue eyes in the post-apocalyptic setting of the game.
Education and influences~
Tumblr media
Keegan was recruited into the United States Marine Corps at a surprisingly young age. What is even more impressive is how he was promoted to Sargeant by around fifteen years old as he joined the Force Reconnaissance with his comrade, Ajax. Keegan excelled at reconnaissance, and his talents were soon recognized by Elias Walker, who promoted Keegan into the Ghosts– also making his career in the Corps short-lived. Instead, he would become part of the original fifteen ghosts who fought in Operation Sandviper in 2005. From then on, Keegan would serve in Task Forse Stalker for the following two decades as a Ghost.
Character (qualities) –
Tumblr media
Keegan might be described as a man of few words, but his actions speak volumes about his loyalty to his team and courage when in action. We first meet Keegan in the "No man's land" mission, where he stays closed off and quiet as he observes the surroundings around us. We can tell that Keegan is the type of soldier who is always thinking ahead, as he is the one to help us– Logan– set up remote snipers that would become crucial later on in that same mission. Keegan also shows his loyalty by being the one who stays next to Ajax until the very end and even carries him to safety in that same mission. In one of the more memorable missions, "Federation Day", Keegan's Character seems to completely change as he led Logan and Hesh Walker through the mission. Keegan starts to communicate more, taking on a commanding leadership role when it's just him and the Walker brothers. His character can also be seen as a mentor figure to the main protagonist, Logan, as he learns from Keegan. (Istg i would've cooked talking about the "mentor" relationship keegan had with Logan but I was limited on how much I could write 😭😭)
Tumblr media
I had way too much fun making these..
Tumblr media
Acheivements~
NOOO I COULDVE COOKED
Tumblr media
I dont have any more slides to show after this unfinished one 😭😭
Keegan made several accomplishments in his career, including single-handedly saving thr entire Ghost Team after they were ambushed by the Federation in the "Sin City" mission, as well as his role in Operation Sanviper, where they successfully defended a civilian hospital from a Federation attack. But none could compare to what he accomplished in a solo recon mission just a couple of months before joining the Ghosts. According to this document recounting the events from the Fedartion's perspective, Keegan managed to carry out a fifteen day-long recon mission by himself at peak efficiency, despite facing harsh weather conditions and running out of supplies at around day seven. During this operation, Keegan eliminated thirteen and injured three Federation Tangos. This forced most of the Federation forces to abandon the area, except for a single scout sniper who challenged Keegan one-on-one. Keegan easily won, which not only led to his recognition by Captain Elias Walker, but also impressive considering he was only fifteen years old at the time, with every variable working against him.
Tumblr media
Silly doodle from me to make up for the missing PowerPoint slide in the meantime.
(One of my first times doodling keegs)
Similarities to others~
Most Call of Duty characters are either inspired by a real person or completely made up. Keegan is different as he isn't a direct representation of only one individual but rather three based on his demeanor, combat style, and role within the Ghosts. Chris Kyle, for example, was a Navy SEAL sniper who has the most confirmed kills in American history and had a commanding presence, like Keegan, as they both are elite marksman who provide overwatch in high-risk missions. Then there is Carlos Hathcock, a legendary Marine Corps sniper known for his stealth and patience when operating alone behind enemy lines. He excelled at recon and precision shooting while staying completely undetectable–just like Keegan. Lastly, Nicholas Irving, and Army Ranger sniper, was uniquely specialized in high-speed close quarters combat along with recon. He might be one of the only real-life examples of a sniper who didn't just stay behind the scope, as he also fought up close when needed, which is exactly what Keegan is seen doing multiple times throughout the campaign.
Tumblr media
A better keegan sketch of mine:
Conclusion 😌 ~
All in all, if you were to combine Hathcock's stealth, Kyle's effectiveness, and Irving's aggressive adaptivity you would essentially get Keegan P. Russ. That is why he is considered one of the most skilled Call of Duty operators by far– and my favorite, in my opinion.
Thats all I did and honestly... the hardest part was making it NOT sound as if I were simping while writing and presenting 😋✌️
Thanks for making it this far into my very not-aesthetically pleasing blog 🫶

A structured way to learn JavaScript.
I came across a post on Twitter that I thought would be helpful to share with those who are struggling to find a structured way to learn Javascript on their own. Personally, I wish I had access to this information when I first started learning in January. However, I am grateful for my learning journey so far, as I have covered most topics, albeit in a less structured manner.
N/B: Not everyone learns in the same way; it's important to find what works for you. This is a guide, not a rulebook.
EASY
What is JavaScript and its role in web development?
Brief history and evolution of JavaScript.
Basic syntax and structure of JavaScript code.
Understanding variables, constants, and their declaration.
Data types: numbers, strings, boolean, and null/undefined.
Arithmetic, assignment, comparison, and logical operators.
Combining operators to create expressions.
Conditional statements (if, else if, else) for decision making.
Loops (for, while) for repetitive tasks. - Switch statements for multiple conditional cases.

We’ve all basically agreed that Aventurine’s boss form is a transformation, like there’s no other explanation for how our short king suddenly gains height (other than his heels of course)
BUT
Unlike fellow magical girl Childe Ajax Tartaglia, we never actually saw Aventurine’s transformation!
(WE WERE FUCKING ROBBED, YOU KNOW IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE MOST DRAMATIC ASS TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE, I WILL NOT BACK DOWN FROM THE AVENTURINE LIKES MAGICAL GIRLS HEADCANON)
So until they actually show us the damn thing, or give us a different Stoneheart’s transformation, I’m gonna have some fun and headcanon that no actually, it’s not a transformation. To keep up his dramatics and acts, my boy instead just lugs around a whole-ass costume to change into whenever he needs to do a quick boss fight.
(Ratio constantly nags him about why he always has so much luggage, it’s because of this. He needs all 152 costume pieces and those things take up space Ratio, let a man express himself, damn. A whole suitcase is dedicated to just the shoes since his heels hide extra stilts in them to give him the height advantage. Ratio is always silently judging him whenever he changes, but in the sense that he can’t believe that this is the love of his life and of course he’ll help zip up the back, stop whining Aventurine)
I’m just imagining him making that dramatic announcement to the Astral Express all “come and find me” and then quickly rushing to get into the outfit and make sure his hair and accessories are all in place before they show up. The whole reason he was giving that dramatic speech in 2.1 was because the crew arrived too early and he was rushing to get into those ridiculous boots of his and he needed to buy time fast. Ratio was in the back operating an out of sight crane to constantly keep Aventurine floating in the air.
So following that train of thought, headcanon that all Stoneheart boss forms are just the Stoneheart’s being dramatic as fuck for the aesthetic OR if it turns out that no one else has a cool boss form, then Aventurine is the only one who does this whole thing because he’s a dramatic king.
(HOYO better actually show us the magical girl transformation, THERE HAS TO BE A MAGICAL TRANSFORMATION, HOYO PLEASE I NEED MAGICAL GIRL AVENTURINE THAT’S ALL I’M ASKING PLEASE)
Tumblr media
YOU CANNOT LOOK AT THIS AND NOT VIVIDLY IMAGINE HIM SWIPING HIS HAND ACROSS HIS FACE WHILE HIS MASK FORMS THAT IS SUCH A CLASSIC MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATION MOVE PLEASE

call of duty characters - how they react to you falling asleep against them.
alex "ajax" thompson
•ajax isn’t exactly used to seeing anyone vulnerable, especially when you’re asleep on him– so his initial reaction is a stiffening of his posture as if to check if you’re genuinely okay. you’ve been on high-stress missions for days, and your sudden nap is a sign you’re either exhausted or hiding some deeper fatigue that he won’t push you about right now. he’s the type to make sure you’re safe first before anything else, so while you’re napping on his shoulder or chest, you’ll feel the gentle shift of his arm around you, as if he's trying to make sure you don’t slide off the couch where you fell asleep.
•as a man of few words, he won’t wake you up, but he might mumble something low under his breath like, “guess you needed that.” he’ll continue to monitor the situation—always keeping an ear out for any movements or sounds that could alert him to danger. ajax might not be part of ongoing operations, but when you're around, his protective side kicks in full force, even if it’s a little reluctant.
•he’ll sit still for what feels like forever, and when he’s sure you’re safe and sleeping soundly, his grip on you softens slightly, but he doesn’t budge. if he shifts too much, you might stir, and he’s not about to deal with a 'grumpy' you. so, he’ll lean back in the chair or on the couch, even if his body aches from sitting so stiffly. his focus shifts from mission plans and tactical decisions to making sure your breathing stays steady, watching the rise and fall of your chest with an odd sense of peace.
• if you wake up to find his dark eyes staring down at you, expect a quick “you okay?” but nothing more. he’s not about to dive into emotions, but there’s an unmistakable gentleness in his voice. if you seem embarrassed, he’ll smirk just slightly, a silent acknowledgment of your vulnerability, but that’s all.
• ajax doesn’t get affectionate often, but when you’re lying against him, exhausted, he’ll offer the barest hint of warmth—a protective hand on your back or a quick but reassuring squeeze of your hand. he’s not into grand gestures, but these little acts are how he shows care
alex keller
• keller is a quiet yet reassuring presence, so when you fall asleep on him, he doesn’t rush to wake you. instead, he lets you rest your head on his shoulder or lap, his eyes scanning the surroundings with sharp, trained focus. the world around you might be filled with tension, but keller is one of those guys who finds comfort in the stillness. he won’t fidget or try to get up; he’ll let you sleep, knowing it’s been a long and grueling time for you both.
•if you shift a little or murmur in your sleep, he’ll smile softly to himself, his usual stoic expression softening. “relax. we’re good here,” he’ll say in that calm, unshakable tone. keller doesn’t do overtly sweet things, but you’ll notice him leaning into the moment, staying still even as his body is tense, preparing for whatever mission comes next.
•there’s a soft, almost hesitant warmth to his touch when he adjusts your position to make sure you’re comfortable—he never wants to disturb your sleep, but if he has to move, he’ll do it carefully, his large hand sliding over your back, keeping you steady without waking you. his concern might not be voiced, but it's clear in his movements. he's a man of action, not words (sometimes).
•in the safe house, after long missions, when you doze off unexpectedly, alex might keep a quiet vigil over you. his thoughts may wander, but he never stops checking for your safety, even as you sleep like a rock in his presence. he'll offer you a blanket or a jacket if the air turns cold, a silent acknowledgment.
•when you wake up to find him still there, he might ask, “feel better?” his eyes will meet yours, no judgment or fuss, just simple concern. if you look groggy or confused, he might add, “you needed it. don’t worry.” but there won’t be any teasing or push for explanation— he's pragmatic like that.
captain john price
•you and price have had a long, exhausting few weeks— missions, briefings, and constant tension—but now you’re outside, lounging on a lawn bed by the pool, the sun dipping low in the sky, painting the world in golden hues. it’s a rare moment of peace, and price is content just to have you near him.
•as you relaxed, the heat of the day still lingering in the air, your eyes had started to flutter. the sound of the pool water gently rippling lulled- and before you know it, your head was resting on his chest, the familiar scent of cigars and his cologne comforting in the warmth. price doesn't move, not immediately— he's too content with the stillness, watching you with a soft, almost proud expression.
•after a while, price’s cigar burns down to its last inch, and with the slightest, almost imperceptible grin, he takes his old, worn hat off and gently places it over your eyes, shielding you from the afternoon sun. his rough, calloused hand lingers on your head for a moment longer than necessary, a subtle gesture of affection, though it’s not like him to make a big deal out of these moments.
•price doesn’t move much, not wanting to disturb you, but every so often, his eyes flick to the pool, then back to you, his mind half on the world around him and half on the rare luxury of this moment with you. he'll hum a low, contented tune under his breath, the sound almost drowned out by the distant chirp of birds and the light splashing of water.
•you'll both take a nap together because his old ass can't keep himself awake for that long, either. not when he's finally got you all to himself, away from the chaos of everything. being back in a domestic environment is something he adapts harshly to, after each mission. but this time around, it's a little easier— with reason.
captain john "soap" mactavish
•after a particularly brutal mission, the helicopter ride back to base is nothing short of tense, but when you fall asleep next to him, soap’s hardened exterior softens immediately. he’s not one to openly express care—he’s always been about the mission, always the leader. but when you rest your head against his shoulder, there's a protective warmth that floods his chest, and he can't help but shift to accommodate you. his arm, though bruised and worn from the day's battles, instinctively drapes around you, pulling you a little closer, like he’s got to protect you at all costs—even in the quiet moments.
•soap, despite his rough demeanor, has a massive soft spot for those he considers his own, and you're no exception. he’ll look down at you with a slight smile, his tired eyes scanning the surroundings but making sure you're safe. he might mutter something to himself, something in his thick scottish accent, almost like he’s reassuring himself as much as you: "aye, ye’re alright, hen. get yer rest.."
•if you shift slightly in your sleep or start to stir, john will instinctively reach for your shoulder to steady you. his hand, large and calloused, will gently pat your arm or rub your back without a word, the kind of motion that’s familiar and comforting, like it’s second nature to him. he's been through so many missions, so many battles, but holding you close in this moment makes him feel like he’s got something real, something of his own worth protecting. his voice, usually loud and commanding, lowers to a soft hum. "you’ve earned yer sleep, lass."
•he’ll occasionally glance down at you as the helicopter rattles through the air, his gaze softening each time. he’ll probably mutter something like “i've got ye” under his breath, as if to remind you— and himself ���that he's there for you, and nothing will harm you while he’s by your side.
•when you wake up, the helicopter’s interior has grown quieter, the hum of the blades a steady backdrop to your grogginess. soap’s arm is still around you, his presence grounding you as you come to your senses. he won’t make a fuss, but you’ll notice a subtle tenderness in his expression. "hope ye got a good rest,” he’ll say with a gentle grin, his usual cheeky tone a little more softened. "you’ll need it for what comes next."
david "hesh" walker
•hesh is a bit of a softie under his tough exterior, and he’d never admit it, but when you fall asleep on him, it’s like the world stops for him. his first reaction might be a slight chuckle, followed by him adjusting his position so you’re more comfortable, even if that means bending in ways that aren't easy for him. he's the kind of guy who’ll let you nap on him without a second thought, but he’ll occasionally glance down at you with this unreadable look in his eyes.
•he’s got this protective side that isn’t super obvious, but it’s there, and it’s in full force when you’re asleep on him. you’ll catch him softly muttering things like “yeah, we got this,” as though reassuring both of you. he’ll keep his movements minimal so you don’t wake up too soon— he knows the value of a good nap, especially in their line of work.
•if you stir in your sleep, he might smirk a little. “didn’t mean to make you move,” he’ll joke, but there’s a certain softness in his voice. when you wake up, you’ll catch him looking at you with a raised eyebrow and a small grin, almost like he’s trying to hide how much he cares. “you’re good, right?”
•if you seem restless, he’ll toss an arm over your shoulder to keep you close, offering the kind of silent comfort that comes naturally to him. "shh.. relax.. i'm right here, just shut your eyes." he’ll whisper, and you can tell he means it, running his fingers through your hair.
•kisses your forehead as you sleep. it's a silent action, one he knows you won't remember come your waking; but that's entirely the point.
derek "frost" westbrook
•frost is the type of guy who’ll act like he’s bothered, but deep down, he’s probably thrilled that you feel comfortable enough to fall asleep next to him. if you’re in a safe house, curled up on the couch or leaning against him, he’ll give you a look at first; but it’s not disapproving. instead, he’ll just throw his arm around you with a smirk, muttering, “you’re lucky i’m nice.” but there’s no malice in his words—he actually enjoys the company.
•he’ll give you a gentle nudge if you start to lean too much one way or another, trying to avoid you from slipping off or looking uncomfortable. his hand will rest on your head for a while, just making sure that you're alright. he’s not about to make a big deal out of it, but he does care about your well-being.
•if you wake up and look a little embarrassed, frost will throw a playful grin your way. “don’t worry about it. i got you.” his tone is light and teasing, but underneath that, there's a layer of genuine concern. if you get up or look restless, he might toss a blanket over you without saying anything, not because you need it, but because he knows it’s a small way to show that he’s there.
•second note: he loves pulling you against his chest, and tucking your head beneath his chin.
dipaolo
•dipaolo is a natural protector at heart, and when you fall asleep on him, he takes it very seriously. he’ll gently adjust his position so that you’re lying more comfortably, never rushing, never shifting too quickly. he’ll let you rest, even if the mission around him is still ongoing. he’s the type to give a quiet sigh, almost resigned, as though he’s just going to wait for you to finish resting so that he can do his job— or for the job to finish so that way he can hold you on the rest of the way back home.
•there’s a warmth to dipaolo that you don’t see from others. even if his eyes are sharp and always scanning the environment, he’ll subtly make sure you’re comfortable, maybe even offering to rub your back or neck if you seem stiff. "you look like you could use a little rest," he might murmur, though he won't push you to sleep more than you need, even though he thoroughly enjoys having you snagged to his side.
•if you're asleep on him, he knows where you are, always. simple solution; he won't have to worry.
•he’ll be the first to offer you food or a drink once you wake up, something to help you regain your energy, and he’ll do it without asking, always anticipating your needs. his gestures are simple but filled with care, whether it’s covering you with a blanket or making sure you’re hydrated.
•on the way back, he's ditched the seat belts, keeping you close to him.
elias walker
•elias is no stranger to tough situations, so when you fall asleep unexpectedly, he doesn’t make a fuss about it. he’ll simply let you rest, adjusting his position slightly so that he’s comfortable without disturbing you (he's not sacrificing his back for your sake). his protective instinct runs deep, and you can tell that he’s not just letting you nap for the sake of it— he’s watching over you.
•his usual calm demeanor doesn’t change when you’re near him, but there’s a quiet gentleness in his touch when he adjusts you or shifts his arm around you. elias is a man of few words, but if you wake up groggy or disoriented, he’ll be the one to reassure you. “rested now? we’ll be fine,” he’ll say simply.
•his favorite thing to do when you’re just beginning to wake up is tilt your chin up, and softly rub his thumb alongside your jaw. type of guy to rub the sleep out of your eyes for you, and then cradle your heavy head to his chest.
•elias might even hold you in his arms a little longer than necessary if you're restless, letting you find your peace, all while keeping an eye on the surroundings. his actions are silent but caring, a subtle contrast to his more intense nature.
enzo reyes
•enzo’s got a reputation for being a little rough around the edges, but when you're with him in a hunting blind, you start to see a different side—a side that’s way more soft and attentive than he lets on in other situations. as the two of you crouch in the quiet of the woods, waiting for the perfect shot, he notices you shift and yawn, clearly exhausted from the hours of stillness. you don't even realize when your head starts to droop, and before you know it, you’ve fallen asleep against him, your shoulder resting against his chest
•at first, enzo’s a little surprised, but then he lets out a small, affectionate chuckle, the kind that’s a mix of disbelief and fondness. "guess you couldn’t last much longer, huh?" he doesn’t want to wake you, though, especially not when the air is chilly and you look so peaceful leaning against him. so, he adjusts his position carefully, making sure you’re secure and don’t slip off the bench you’re sitting on.
•the longer you stay asleep, the more relaxed he gets. enzo's usual alertness fades, and instead, he settles into a more comfortable position, keeping one arm around you loosely, almost like it’s second nature for him to keep you close.
•you might shift a little in your sleep, mumbling a bit, but enzo just lets out a low chuckle and adjusts the collar of your jacket so it isn't choking you. his movements are careful and deliberate, trying not to wake you, and there’s a warmth in the way he holds you steady. he murmurs under his breath, “rest up, sweetheart. i've got this."
•enzo doesn’t let go of you immediately, when you wake up. he keeps his hand resting on your arm or back, rubbing it gently, his thumb brushing over your skin in a soft, almost absent-minded way. "you good now? you know, i don’t mind you napping here. i’m comfy, too."
erikson
•erikson is a bit of a contradiction—he’s gentle and charming, the kind of guy who makes you feel like you’re the only person in the room without ever needing to say it out loud. the moment you fall asleep next to him, he doesn’t see it as an inconvenience but an opportunity to be close to you. he’ll pull you towards him carefully, his arms wrapping around you with a tenderness that reflects his true nature. it’s almost like he’s afraid of being too rough, so he keeps his movements soft and considerate, ensuring you’re comfortable.
•you’ll find that erikson doesn’t try to control or possess in the way others might; instead, he settles into the moment with you, as if savoring the peace you bring. he might lean his head back against the armrest or wall, his eyes drifting shut, but always keeping you near, his fingers lightly brushing your skin as if he's memorizing every part of you. his touch is delicate, never forcing you to stay, but always making sure you feel secure and cared for.
•if you stir during your nap, he’s quick to adjust his position, making sure you’re still comfortable, maybe pulling you in closer just a little. his smile, soft and warm, will appear if you meet his gaze when you wake up. "you okay?" he’ll ask, his voice light but full of genuine concern. he’s not just asking because it’s polite; he wants to make sure you’re not just physically okay but that you feel safe and content in his arms.
•even if you’re not technically sleeping—just resting with your head on his shoulder or your hand in his— erikson’s presence is soothing. he doesn’t crowd you, doesn’t pressure you to be anything but comfortable in the moment. he simply enjoys being close to you, letting the calm wash over both of you.
•if you fall asleep completely, he’ll stay quiet, keeping his breathing steady so you can rest. his hand might gently stroke your hair or rest on your side, nothing too intense but enough to reassure you that he’s right there. he doesn’t need to be possessive or overwhelming— he’s secure in the fact that you trust him enough to fall asleep near him.
farah karim
•farah is all about strength and resilience, but when you fall asleep on her, a softer, sisterly side of her emerges. she doesn’t show it outright, but there’s a deep care in the way she handles the situation. if you’re leaning on her during a long night in the safe house, she won’t push you away or disturb you. instead, she adjusts her position carefully, making sure you’re comfortable without waking you up. she might drape an extra scarf or jacket over you if you start to shiver, murmuring quietly to herself about how you "never take care of yourself properly".
•if this happens during downtime on a mission, farah is quick to take on the role of protector. she’ll keep an eye on the surroundings, rifle resting across her knees, while letting you rest on her shoulder. she might sigh softly, shaking her head with a small, affectionate smile, as if you’re her little sibling she has to watch over. “you never know when to stop, do you?” she’ll whisper under her breath, though there’s no real frustration in her voice— just care.
•when you stir or wake up, farah’s expression is calm and reassuring. “you needed that,” she’ll say, her voice steady but warm, like an older sister who always knows what’s best. if you try to apologize, she’ll wave it off, giving you a firm but kind look. “don’t. you’ve been pushing yourself too hard. rest is just as important as the fight.”
•farah might tease you a little if the situation allows for it, but her words are always meant to encourage rather than scold. “don’t let the general catch you like this,” she’ll say with a raised eyebrow, but her smile gives away her affection. if you’re still groggy or upset when you wake, she’ll quietly offer some advice or comfort. “you don’t have to carry everything on your shoulders. i am here. let me help."
•by the time you’re fully awake, farah’s already back to being her composed, no-nonsense self, but the way she looks at you—steady, protective, and full of quiet affection—makes it clear that she’s got your back, no matter what. she treats you like family, always ready to stand by your side and make sure you’re okay, even if she doesn’t say it outright. you mean the world to her. more than you'll know.
frank woods
•woods is the kind of guy who'd act like he’s annoyed if you fell asleep on him, but deep down, he secretly enjoys it. he might grumble under his breath, but when you’re knocked out on him—whether it's in the back of a jeep or leaning against him in the safe house—he’ll stiffen for a moment before letting you settle in. woods doesn't do vulnerability well, so having someone depend on him like this is a rare moment for him, and he’s reluctant to admit it, even to himself.
•his rough exterior doesn’t mask the care he’s quietly showing. he’ll gruffly put his arm around you, making a big show out of it, making sure you stay in place, but it’s not just out of duty. he’s also making sure you’re comfortable, though he won’t ever say it. if you wake up, you might find him looking at you with an eyebrow raised and a smirk. “that comfortable, huh?” he’ll tease, but underneath it is a hint of softness in his voice that he doesn't often display.
•he might? throw a jacket over you or offer a blanket if he sees you shivering, all while muttering under his breath about not letting the mission go to hell (but, he's the type that as soon as you fall asleep, he's cracking his extra handwarmers and slipping them into your gloves, and into your boots). woods is a man of action, so when you fall asleep on him, he makes sure you’re safe and protected—even if he’s still grumbling about how inconvenient it is. “ain’t no one gonna get you while you’re asleep on me,” he’ll mutter, though the sentiment is clear.
•if you wake up in the middle of a tense situation, you’ll see him scanning the area with a sharp focus, his protective instincts on full display, but when he catches your eye, he’ll give you a wink and an assurance: “we’re good.”
•nonchalant, but the most caring of out them all, by far
gary "roach" sanderson
•roach doesn’t say a word when your head drifts onto his shoulder in the back of the humvee. the engine hums softly, the tires crunching over dirt roads, and the faint chatter from the team up front fills the air. he freezes for a split second, caught off guard, but quickly adjusts himself so you’re more comfortable. his body language softens in a way only those close to him would notice—shoulders relaxing, his posture slightly leaning toward you to provide more support.
•he’s not one for grand gestures, but his care is in the details. roach tugs his sweater off and drapes it over you, careful not to jostle you too much. he doesn’t mind the cold seeping through his shirt if it means you’re warm. his hand hovers for a moment, debating whether to brush the stray hair out of your face. instead, he settles for tucking the sweater collar closer around your neck to keep the draft out.
•the others might glance back and chuckle at the sight, but roach ignores them completely, his focus entirely on you. he’s silent, as always, but the way he keeps still—despite the bumps and jolts of the humvee—speaks louder than words. every movement is calculated, making sure you can rest without interruption. he doesn't want you to wake up.
•when you stir a little in your sleep, maybe shifting or mumbling, he tilts his head slightly to check on you. there’s no dramatic display, just a quiet vigilance, his gaze flickering between you and the terrain outside. if the vehicle jerks or lurches too hard, his arm instinctively comes up to steady you, his gloved hand resting lightly against your shoulder to keep you from slipping.
•when you wake up, blinking groggily and maybe a little humiliated by the reality, roach doesn’t make a big deal out of it. he doesn’t say anything, just gives a small nod and a faint, understanding smile. his sweater stays draped over you until you hand it back, and even then, he doesn’t let you apologize. he simply takes it, shrugs it back on, and taps your arm lightly before resuming his quiet watch.
•for roach, actions always speak louder than words. you won’t catch him teasing or making a fuss, but the way he lets you rest on him—how he adjusts to make sure you’re safe and comfortable—shows just how deeply he cares in his quiet, unassuming way.
general shepherd
•shepherd’s got a lot on his plate, so when you unexpectedly fall asleep on him, it’s not something he’s used to. he’s far more accustomed to being the one calling the shots than being in a position where someone is leaning on him for comfort. however, when you do, he takes it with a stoic expression, still sitting straight-backed like a military leader should, but his gaze softens for a moment as he watches over you.
•he’ll take a deep breath, continuing to keep an eye on the situation, his mind constantly working through plans and contingencies. but when it’s just the two of you, and you’re asleep on him in his office, he allows himself to relax, just a little. shepherd won’t disturb you, letting you sleep while he keeps his vigil over the room or the window. he’s not one for outward displays of affection, but you’ll find that his protective instinct runs deep, and he quietly ensures that you’re safe and secure.
•if you wake up and find him still there, he’ll just nod in acknowledgment. “we’re still good,” he’ll say flatly, though there’s an unusual calmness in his voice. shepherd isn’t one for pleasantries, but his subtle care comes through in these moments when you’re least expecting it.
•if you seem stressed or worried when you wake, he might offer a few words of encouragement, his tone more fatherly than commanding: “you're fine. come here." he pats between your shoulderblades, rubbing his hand up and down your spine as he works on some extended paperwork that's overdue.
•still an asshole at heart, though.
gabriel t. rorke
•when you fall asleep on rorke, he doesn’t make a big fuss about it, but you can bet he notices. if you’re on a couch or somewhere relatively quiet, he’s the type to pull you into his lap without a word, letting you settle against him while he leans back and continues whatever he’s doing—usually watching TV or lighting up a cigarette. his arm naturally falls around your waist, holding you in place like it’s the most natural thing in the world. he doesn’t mind the weight of you resting on him; if anything, he seems to like it.
•as you sleep, he’ll occasionally glance down at you, his expression unreadable but with a hint of something softer than his usual tough exterior. he might absentmindedly run his fingers along your arm or brush a hand over your hair, his touch surprisingly gentle for someone who carries so much darkness with him.
•if you start to stir or move in your sleep, he won’t say much, but he’ll adjust you without waking you up—propping your head against his chest or tucking you closer into him. the glow of his cigarette and the low sound of the TV fill the space, but his focus is split between what’s on the screen and making sure you’re still comfortable.
•if you wake up, his reaction depends on the mood. he might smirk down at you and say something teasing, like, “you always this needy?” but the way he holds onto you even after you’ve woken up tells you he doesn’t mind in the slightest. if you apologize for dozing off, he’ll scoff and shake his head, taking a slow drag of his cigarette. “don’t sweat it,” he’ll say casually, his voice low and gravelly. “not like i had anywhere else to be.”
•rorke might not be the overly sentimental type, but in moments like this, he’s surprisingly accommodating. he likes having you close, even if he doesn’t always say it outright. the way he keeps you secure in his lap, one hand resting protectively on your hip, shows that beneath the hardened exterior, there’s a part of him that relishes in your trust and closeness.
james ramirez
•ramirez isn’t used to this. he’s always been the guy working alone, the silent operator who keeps his head down and his rifle up. so, when you come along, leaning against him during the quiet moments of a post-watch, trusting him enough to fall asleep on his side, he doesn’t know how to process it at first. gor a split second, he freezes, his brain running through a hundred scenarios, none of which included this.
•but as the seconds tick by, he adjusts—just like he’s always done. ramirez doesn’t move a muscle, his breathing slow and measured, knowing even the smallest shift might wake you. you’re tucked against him, and the chill of the night air doesn’t seem to bother him anymore. without thinking, he lets his body warmth do the work, keeping you steady and warm while the cold tries to creep in. his arms remain loose but ready, just in case anything stirs in the distance, his focus now split between his surroundings and you.
•he doesn’t say a word—he wouldn’t dare break the calm. but his thoughts are racing, wondering why you trusted him of all people to let your guard down like this. it’s foreign to him, but not unwelcome. ramirez adjusts the angle of his shoulder ever so slightly, ensuring your head isn’t at an awkward tilt, his movements precise and deliberate. his gloves are off, resting beside him, and though he’s tempted to place a hand on your shoulder to steady you, he keeps his discipline. for now, his proximity will have to do.
•every sound in the distance feels sharper, his eyes scanning the darkness with even more vigilance than usual. if anyone or anything comes close, they’ll have to go through him first. he feels the slight rise and fall of your breathing against him, a quiet reminder that, for once, someone sees him as more than just a soldier. he refuses to let go of that.
•when you stir slightly in your sleep, he glances down, watching your face for any signs of discomfort. he shifts ever so slightly to keep you comfortable, his voice barely audible when he mutters, “it’s alright... i’ve got you.” he knows you probably can’t hear him, but it feels like the right thing to say.
•by the time you wake, ramirez hasn’t moved an inch (bro is 🗿). he glances at you, his expression unreadable at first, but there’s a flicker of warmth in his eyes. he doesn’t make a big deal out of it—he wouldn’t know how—but there’s a soft, almost hesitant tone when he asks, “sleep okay?” it’s not much, but for someone who’s used to being alone, it’s everything.
john "soap" mactavish
•soap doesn’t just tolerate you falling asleep on him—he absolutely thrives on it. when you drift off, curled into his side, he doesn’t hesitate to make you as comfortable as possible. you’re on the couch in the safe house, wrapped up in a couple of old, mismatched blankets he found, with his arm securely around your shoulders. his other hand holds a steaming mug of coffee, and his fingers idly trace soothing patterns along your arm as you snooze. he looks completely at ease, even as the rest of the team bustles around.
• “look at this one, proper knocked out,” he’ll say to kyle, grinning wide as he leans back, shifting slightly to pull you closer. “must be my charm, eh? can’t resist relaxin’ when ol’ siap’s about.” he’s not shy (at all) about showing how much he loves having you close; in fact, he basks in it. he’s practically beaming, his voice warm with affection as he chats with the grin of a fox who'd just gotten into the henhouse.
•if anyone comments, he’s quick with a cheeky retort. “aye, they know who’s the comfiest bloke in the room. jealous, gaz?” he’ll quip, but there’s no hiding the pride in his tone. he doesn’t care what anyone thinks—if anything, he’s thrilled to show off how comfortable you feel around him. it's like bragging rights, but tenfold.
•if you stir or shift in your sleep, he’s immediately attentive, pulling the blanket tighter around you and leaning down to check on you. “shh, you’re alright,” he murmurs softly, his scottish brogue low and soothing. “go back tae sleep, love. i’ve got ye.”
•when you eventually wake up, soap greets you with the biggest smile, his blue eyes sparkling. “mornin’, sunshine. sleep well?” he teases, but his tone is so full of warmth that it’s impossible to be embarrassed. he’ll ruffle your hair gently and nudge the coffee mug toward you. “-'ere, take a sip. you’ve earned it.”

keegan p. russ
•keegan’s possessiveness is immediate the moment he feels your weight leaning against him. if you start dozing off next to him, he doesn’t just let you fall asleep on his shoulder—he pulls you fully into his arms, shifting you until you’re sitting in his lap, wrapped up in his hold. his arms are firm around you, one hand resting protectively on your waist while the other cradles your head against his chest. it's as if he’s daring the world to come and disturb this rare, intimate moment.
•he doesn’t care where you are—in the safe house, out in the field, or even in a damn helicopter. the second you relax against him, you’re his, and no one else is allowed near you. if anyone so much as glances your way, keegan’s icy stare is enough to send them backing off. “she’s fine,” he’ll mutter curtly, his tone making it clear that no one is to interfere.
•keegan’s movements are calculated to keep you comfortable, and he’s surprisingly gentle despite his rough exterior. he’ll adjust your position slightly, making sure you’re fully supported while still nestled securely in his embrace. his gloved hand will stroke lightly over your back or your hair, a quiet, soothing gesture that feels incredibly intimate coming from him. if you stir or mumble something in your sleep, his voice drops low, barely above a whisper, “shh, i’ve got you.”
•when you’re asleep in his arms, keegan lets his usual guard down, his intense eyes softening as he watches over you. this is one of the few times he allows himself to be vulnerable, holding you close like you’re the most precious thing in his world. and you are—to him, you’re more than his teammate; you’re his to protect, his to care for, his everything.
•if you wake up, his grip doesn’t loosen—if anything, it tightens slightly, as if he’s reluctant to let you go. “stay,” he’ll murmur, his voice low and gravelly, almost pleading. there’s a possessiveness in his tone, but it’s layered with so much love and devotion that it feels more protective than controlling. he won’t let you leave his lap until he’s absolutely sure you’re fully rested and okay.

kick
•kick is the kind of guy who would instantly notice when you're starting to drift off, and his protective instincts kick in before anything else. the moment you start leaning on him, he moves, pulling you closer until you’re fully in his arms, practically cradled against his chest. there’s a possessive edge to how he holds you—like a lion, keeping its cub safe. he doesn’t care if anyone notices; all that matters is you’re his, and you’re safe in his grasp. bro adores you more than his ego will ever let him say.
•his arms are firm and unyielding, ensuring you’re not going anywhere. if you make the mistake of shifting or trying to move, he’s quick to pull you right back, his hold becoming even tighter. there’s a low, almost inaudible grumble that escapes his throat if anyone dares to look your way, a quiet warning that you belong to him, and anyone else is unwelcome. he's not a man to hesitate instigating.
•if you- or when you start to fall deeper into sleep, kick is the type to softly hum or whisper comforting words in your ear, keeping the atmosphere calm and soothing. he might tell you, “rest, i've got you,” his voice quiet but heavy with affection, the type of words that let you know you’re more than just a teammate—you’re someone he’s fiercely protective of.

könig
•könig freezes when you first fall asleep on him, unsure of what to do. the massive austrian, already awkward in social situations, is completely out of his element when you’re nestled up against him. but it doesn’t take long for his protective instincts to kick in. alowly, carefully, könig adjusts you so that you’re more comfortable, pulling you against his chest like a shield around you. his sheer size envelops you, and he lets out a deep, steadying breath as he realizes how much he likes having you this close.
•he’s hyper-aware of his surroundings, keeping an eye on everything with an almost predatory focus. no one else is allowed to come near while you’re in his arms—not a teammate, not even a passing glance from a civilian. if someone approaches, könig shifts slightly, his presence alone enough to send a clear message: stay back. he doesn’t even need to speak; his imposing figure and the protective way he cradles you say it all.
•he’s surprisingly gentle with you, his gloved hand resting lightly on your shoulder or softly brushing over your hair. every movement is deliberate, careful not to wake you. if you murmur or shift in your sleep, könig might quietly murmur something in german, his voice deep and soothing, though you can’t quite make out the words.
•if you wake up and try to move, könig gently tightens his hold on you, his voice low and filled with quiet urgency. “stay a little longer,” he’ll say, almost shyly, though his grip is firm. he’s not ready to let you go, not when you look so peaceful and vulnerable in his arms.
•you’re his anchor, and he doesn’t care if the rest of the world sees it. when you’re asleep on him, könig’s softer side shines through, though it’s buried beneath his usual stoicism and protective nature.
kyle "gaz" garrick

•gaz is naturally calm and easygoing, so he doesn’t make a big deal out of it. he’ll glance around to make sure no one’s about to interrupt, but he doesn’t get territorial. if someone makes a comment, he’ll just flash them a cheeky grin and shrug, his eyes soft as they flick back to you. “what can i say? she’s got good taste,” he’ll joke lightly, but there’s a quiet protectiveness in his tone.
•as you sleep, he’ll absentmindedly rub small circles into your back or run a hand through your hair, his touch gentle and soothing. he doesn’t wake you, knowing how important rest is, especially during missions. if anyone needs him, they can wait; right now, his priority is making sure you’re okay.
•when you wake up, gaz greets you with an easy smile, his brown eyes warm. “good nap?” he teases, his voice light and playful. If you apologize for falling asleep on him, he just chuckles, shaking his head. “don’t worry about it, love. you looked like you needed it.”

nikolai
•you don't exactly fall asleep against him.

nikto
•nikto’s first reaction when you fall asleep on him is a sharp exhale, the kind that conveys his usual grouchy frustration. he glances down at you, frowning slightly as your head rests on his shoulder. “you’ve got to be kidding me,” he mutters under his breath, eyes flicking back to the road ahead. he’s on a mission, not a leisurely drive—and here you are, completely oblivious to the world, using him as a pillow.
•he wants to be annoyed—really, he does—but there’s a part of him that softens in spite of himself. he shifts in his seat, trying to adjust without waking you.
