Theodore Tugboat
"I'm Theodore T. Thompson!" Theodore paused, and added, in a quieter voice. "...The "T" stands for Tobias." Hank grinned.
“Well, Theodore T. Tugboat,” Hank began. “I’m Hank H. Hoffman. The “H” stands for Hackett.” The two men looked at each other, and laughed.

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

I love the x files intro. Weird man screaming that looks like the manifesting blue thing. The choppy photos from episode 3. The 3/4 photos on the government IDs that never changed throughout like the whole series. The guy falling into the hand. "The Truth is Out There" in a font that doesn't fit the rest of it. The funky music. Fav intro by far.

A drawing I don't think I'll finish. Clearing out the old sketch folders
In case anyone is curious - reason I won't finish this is due to being a BAD BOY and drawing this at potato rez, all on one layer AND (worst crime of all) not planning this illustration! Heavy is too large in composition and leant over Cheavy and...it's just so much effort to change that haha. Also I'm not sure if I'm...artistically confident enough yet to render the foreshortening on Heavy's arm...I might need to do some more studies.
What I will probably do is remove Heavy, tweak the camera to a worms eye and have a fullbody of Heavy silhouetted on the horizon with blood and bandolier 'illuminated' within his silhouette. I think it'll look cool and graphic.
In writing this comment I also realised that the environment and Heavy are lit from different directions (head in hands).
