#i just cant see the good in me

Friday 5:

- So about that cake: OMFG I take back every word. I apparently didn't get all the information and was well into my own bullshit, so I made a judgement call that didn't take into consideration a roulade filled with strawberry vinegarette cream cheese.

Good grief...just... wow.

So yeah, forget everything I said. For someone who says thank you often, I was being a thankless asshole. Mia culpa.

- Speaking of thank you, thank you to all y'all who wished me a happy birthday.

- I did buy myself a birthday present, and very on brand for me:

This will be the live feed from the concert to benefit those affected by the Yellowstone floods. I love Livingston and pretty much that whole area, and have spent a lot of time there. He said he's going to play all of "Born and Raised", which was one of the road trip albums for the trip that mom and I took to bury the ashes of her mom... in Basin, Montana. So yeah, it's gonna be a great show and probably a tear jerker.

- On to more fun topics, im going to start a war....

(OK, that's a bit dramatic, lemme explain)

Last night, as I was making an order for carter's for Henry, I saw a Toronto blue jays(my team) t-shirt in Henry's size. H is a Seattle Mariners fan. And she has no idea... but I ordered it. And considering they are 1 and 2 for the AL wildcard spots, yeah...

- So the number I've been wrestling with, because I still can't wrap my head around it, is 129. That's the number of pounds that I've lost since I started my weight loss journey. It's honestly mind boggling, and I still don't know how to feel about it. The only thing I can say is that I appreciate the support on this road from yall. Much love, and many blessings- you all helped!!!!

I love that the last two episodes of S1 were like Senshi has been haunted for the past ten years by the possibility that he might have had to resort to cannibalism to survive in the dungeon and the revelation that he did NOT is an emotionally charged moment. Anyway, I think the best solution to our current issue is to eat my sister

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
