insecure soap whose insecurities don't stem from a place of inadequacy
he knows how talented he is, how hard he’s worked to get where he is; that he didn’t land a spot on an exclusive highly skilled taskforce for no reason. he's confident about his skills; doesn't brag or show off, doesn't need to because he knows he'll always live up to and surpass expectations the second someone doubts him
but he also knows he can always be better
there's records left unbroken, mental walls he can shatter; if he just keeps pushing, keeps training he'll be more. he's always trying to beat himself, not in search of validation or outward assurance but because he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that his yesterday self was lesser
slower
weaker
every muscle that burns and tears heals stronger so he dedicates himself to ripping them apart. scarred skin doesn't flinch from heat so he welcomes the burns. he’s strict with his diet and stricter with his schedule, he spends hours in the gym and longer at the range and not a minute of rest goes by without him thinking it’s time wasted when he could be improving, always improving
soap knows he's good
because he knows he can be great
and he won't stop until he is, no matter how many times he needs to break himself to get there

it's so hard to take star wars seriously nowadays because i'll watch someone get skewered by a lightsaber and then somehow walk it off with a bacta patch and a slap on the ass. like you're telling me a weapon that can carve furrows into foot-thick solid durasteel doors, dripping melted slag in its wake, when applied to the flesh of a sentient being leaves behind nothing more than superficial damage. like be so ffr. "it cauterizes the wound instantly" this is not a little cut. this is not minor burns. you were IMPALED BY A BEAM OF PLASMA. your ORGANS have been COOKED. your BLOOD has BOILED. your BONES were INCINERATED. what are you TALKING ABOUTTTTTT

i think ive said it before, but i truly dont understand the goals of villains whos entire goal is to kill every living thing in one way or another, especially when the ones that are whole societies are anti-individuality, and therefore entirely monotonous. like... if they succeed, what do they do after? what do you do when everything is dead? what do you do when theres only one group left, and you all dont do anything BUT the thing you can no longer do?
like i feel like its meant to be commentary or a metaphor somehow but it falls flat to me. like yeah we had something similar in real life but at least they had a vague idea of what would happen after

I have decided that people can't talk to me about 'trash tv' unless they have watched and enjoyed at least one telenovela. Like go watch the 180 episodes of Pasión de gavilanes and enjoy it and maybe we'll talk.
"I like trash tv" That show has less than 20 episodes, has generally cohesive writing and character arcs, solid dialogue and really good acting. Shut up
The problem is that people forgot that there's a lot of other things in between Bad Show and Emmy winning prestige tv. Sometimes shows are just, good.
Ok petty rant over

ough ok if you're looking for audio drama recommendations my go to (at least for seasoned listeners) is fall of the house of sunshine!! craziest shit i've ever seen. it's an absurd comedy, starts off with brushee sunshine (host of a children's tv show about dental hygeine) getting murdered and the world's worst detective is called in to investigate and starts finding out a lot of ridiculous messed up stuff about the whole sunshine family. and it's a musical. cannot stress enough that it's a musical and that the songs slap even when you wish they didn't because they're about horrible medical experimentation or whatever. i can never figure out a good way to summarize it but trust me it's great
also because the earlier anon mentioned it sayer is soo good. the buildup can feel a bit slow but once the plot kicks in it's WHOA!! anyways hope your project goes well :)
Holy shit?? Like my issue with musicals is that you've got to hear the words to understand the plot (which can take a couple of goes round if there aren't lyrics, not ideal for longer podcast formats) but also Holy Shit I can't Not check that one out
On the topic of SAYER I've just finished ep56 and yep that plot. Sure is happening!
