Okay so consider this a callout post to all y'all because. What. The. ACTUAL. Fuck.

Why is it only the pasty British white guys that get all the simps, yeah?

Okay y'all already know I love Gaz. He might be British, but I would do unspeakable things for/to him. Not only is he pretty, he's got an amazing character? Like I would even argue he's more complex and fleshed out in the games than Ghost (not counting the comic)? You play as him more often, you literally get to experience his backstory, you see his goods and his bads.

But okay- not everyone wants a complex character. That's fair! I get it, sometimes you just want a pretty face. You want an unrealistic man you can dress up and have a romance with.

WELL SOMETHING THAT I THINK EVERYONE SEEMS TO FORGET:

Alejandro Vargas CANONICALLY WEARS A SUIT.

He is an older man, he has a strong moral compass and fights for what's right, but he also isn't afraid to get a little messy. He can be angry or sweet. And he's fucking handsome.

Joke about his forehead, I know I do, but still.

I feel like we spend too much time on Ghost and other pasty white boys. Why can't we focus on the dark skinned black man? Why can't we focus on the complex Mexican men (don't even get me started on Rudy, I have thoughts)? Fuck- why don't we say anything about the hot woman??

Farrah: fighting since she was a literal child. Has had a worse life than Ghost. Her own brother turned away and she still kept fighting. She's kind to her people but cutthroat to her enemies, she even has a cute boyfriend if you wanna do wholesome ship stuff!

Valeria: SHES A FUCKING POWERFUL CARTEL LEADER OH MY GODDD THERES SO MUCH THERE WHY ARE YOU IGNORING HER??

Also- both these women are literally so pretty! Do I like that? No, not really, personally I kinda hate it because why can the men be ugly but all the women have to be a 10 (when they're literally on the battlefield) but whatever. Big game companies are gonna do what they're gonna do. Instead of getting into that rant, I'm just gonna say that we've got canonical pretty faces and we focus on the masked loser.

I don't know. I can't really speak about racism, I'm a white person after all, but even I get a bit of a bad feeling that all the poc get pushed to the side for a few white men.

I'm not saying you have to feel bad for liking who you like, I'm just saying... Try something new? You can still love Ghost, but read an Alejandro fic. Explore some Gaz content. Give some of the others a try. At the end of the day, there will always be more Ghost content. Why not check something else out? You might be surprised with what you find :)

sighs dreamily…something about price tilting his stupid boonie hat to the front & casting a shadow over his eyes…making his gaze mysterious…that man belongs in the western era, atop a borderline-war-horse chasing lil run away u, then finally catching up to u & roping u with his lasso, leaving u lying on the ground looking up at his gaze obscured by his cowboy hat when he trots up to u on his horse, he kisses his teeth at the thought of having to discipline his new wife…not that u know of that particular plan…or whatever

Non-Binary!Bell is so funny to me cause like. I just imagine that Adler couldn’t be bothered to/forgot to check what was goin on in their pants and Park wouldn’t let him call Bell an “it” in front of everyone else.

so i was reading this post and started yapping in the tags before deciding i actually just needed to make a separate post because i have brainworms. long unedited ramble sorry this doesn't make sense at all

adlerbell & co-dependency;

the sick irony lies in the fact that the co-dependency that exists within their relationship, most of the time, isn't even of their own volition, and yet they are the constant cause of their own entrapment. they NEED one another as much as they hate one another because they ARE each other. to their core.

bell is everything adler hates and opposes and wars against yet he NEEDS them to catch perseus no matter the cost; adler is bound to bell in a way where he is ironically beholden to them, his fate in their hands, even when he's technically the one in control, with the power and rank over them, the one holding the leash. yet without bell adler has little to nothing. powerless entirely. in that way, bell has power over him, that his whole world rests upon the pinprick that is their loyalty to him, which is a hairswidth away from being shattered the second they piece together who they are, what he's done to them.

and bell is obviously only who they are because of adler. warped god wrenching hands into their head and rearranging it all until they suit whatever he deems his perfect image when he needs it. friend, ally, team member. dog, prey, victim. whatever he needs them to be, they are.

and bell's entire personhood is adler. bell's entire world is adler. half himself, a mirror image, their head a scrambled soup of his memories and fears, of vietnam, of things that didn't happen to bell but did happen to adler, a point in time that existed but they were not a part of, not until adler dragged their body off that tarmac and forced them to be. without adler, bell is dead in trabzon, or nothing. and that kind of co-dependency is indescribable- to believe that this man is one who went through the horrors of war with you, your friend for over a decade, is one thing. but even when bell breaks free of their conditioning- to know that they are possibly only alive because he found them? to know that mk ultra, despite being the very thing that destroyed them, was the only thing that stood between them and an unmarked grave??

bell wants adler. but adler needs bell. and mf wants to stand at that fucking clifftop and claim that none of it was personal?? he created a home for bell within himself, how they trust him, rely on him, believe that he'll always pick them up- because even if not in vietnam, he did, once, in trabzon. and bell is a home to all the worst parts of himself, scraped out of him and put into the empty pit he carves out of them- his weaknesses, his fears, his trauma, his ruthlessness. (i could talk about how adler's hatred of bell might even be a reflection not only of them being the very culmination of everything he opposes, but that they're also an amalgam of every worst thing he hates about himself, but that's another post entirely.)

i just. it wasn't meant to be personal. bell was a tool for adler, and adler was just this figure meant to be imprinted on. all means to an end. but against their own volition, they rely on each other. they need each other. they are dead without each other. i think adler needs bell to make himself feel powerful. but god, if they aren't the very thing he has to tiptoe around and revere because without them he has nothing. no team, no perseus. and to bell, adler is not too far removed from a god, whether they know it or not. he made them. and i doubt the lamb wants to stray much too far from its shepherd. ugh. whatever.

don't even get me started on how their fates are inevitably intertwined. how even the narrative itself demands them be slave to each other's will. fuck everything

[bluebellwrenart]

Nadezhda Kolokolova, CIA Asset, (Former) Perseus Lieutenant Now lives and works under the alias Nadia Bell, occasionally serving as a CIA field operative & assassin. Consultant for Soviet and Perseus related matters. Currently in the care/supervision of Frank Woods (with whom she is believed to have a close and intimate relationship.) Highly skilled. Generally amiable.

It was my Bell/Nadia's turn to get a facelift since I gave Claire one back in March (and I originally drew the two at the same time.) I've drawn Nadia about four times since I first drew her back in September (two unfinished sketches, two finished pieces) but I wanted to give her a proper makeover. I made her scar a bit more noticeable, made her hair nice and messy, and gave her a spiffy jacket and a flannel because I wanted to give her a rough look (and so she looked like she could match Woods a little.) She has multiple chronic illnesses and regularly gets the crap beaten out of her; loose-fitting, practical, comfy clothes are an absolute must.

I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

[manglechan1204]

Please please please, I need a GazPrice fanfic where they are both awkward dumbasses in love who don’t know how to take their relationship to the next level.

Featuring GhostSoap having their shits together weirdly enough and try to coach them to have better communication and obviously, they’re are horrible at it.

Even if Ghost and Soap are together now, it doesn’t mean it was thank to their communication skills.

[tanked-up]

Soap: Would you catch me if I fall, Lt?

Ghost done with him: I would let you fall flat to the floor

*Soap pretende to “fake fall” but ends up tripping, and Ghost ends up catching him*

Price: Pft, Pussy…
