LISTEN i know they’re jokes and wouldn’t actually happen but percy and sally wouldn’t just go around announcing what they did to smelly gabe,,, like they literally KILLED him. that’s not something you go around telling everyone. they’d stick to their story of him going missing and maybe sally has a smile when she should be playing the concerned widow and maybe there’s humor is percy’s eyes but his face remains stoic so it’s very weird and honestly a little scary but they wouldn’t just announce it to everyone bc it’s a literal crime. like the only way i could think of other people knowing is percy opening up to annabeth about smelly gabe’s abuse and her questioning what happened bc he’s missing and she has this idea in the back of her mind but they didn’t actually do that bc- oh they did that. like maybe grover knows w the empathy link and being percys best friend, i doubt paul knows but hey maybe he does but i highly doubt it. but like leo, piper, reyna, etc have no fucking clue bc u don’t just go around admitting to a crime (especially when it’s murder)

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

Jason, giving an inspirational speech before going into the House of Hades: I know it’s been a difficult ride. I know we’re down a few friends down right now. And I know this isn’t going to be easy. But there’s still the six of us, and together we can clear these hurdles.
Leo, under his breath: Except Nico cause he’s four foot eight.

I also just want to point out that Violet never said what questions that reaching figure in the alley was asking so until proven otherwise I’m going to assume it was “can I have a cigarette?”
