(part 1 here)
you did notice him some time ago.
the cloak clad boy with the prettiest fiery blue hair.
he who watches from behind the trees. never gets close, never interacts.
"do not go near that boy, for he may be bearing ill intents. do you understand, my child?"
"yes, mother..."
mother always told you that, which left you wondering why. the boy didn't try to approach you, when he could have done it long ago. instead, he chose to observe. he responded to your smiles and waves with his own, albeit shy ones.
the more you looked at him, the more your heart felt strange. it was a warm feeling that engulfed you whole, as if you had seen him somewhere before. had you known him from somewhere? anywhere?
but you grew up with only the presence of your mother, exactly what made you feel that way?
peculiar, indeed, and you intended to find it out yourself.
so despite your mother's words, you wandered beyond the borders, the one that your mother put up to, in her words, protect you from the horrors of the outside world. she was protective, that you were always grateful for, but it soon felt rather overbearing.
it had been quite a while since you last ventured out of your home. mother used to bring you along to places. something happened, however, and she never let you leave the house ever since. you understood, of course, but the growing want to explore pushed that thought away. so the moment your mother left the house, you left too.
there he was again, at his usual spot and gazed over the little place you called home.
he looked confused, his pretty golden eyes darted around, seemingly searching for something, or rather, you. you decided to approach the boy, and with every steps you made, that feeling came back as stronger than ever.
the boy soon turned to you. he flinched back in panic(?), before slowly calming down when he saw it was you. that was when you noticed some things about him.
he was tall, towering over your form, yet he didn't give off a threatening aura. pale white skin, ghostly even, all hidden under a black cloak. the fiery blue hair that you saw was, indeed, fire, strange how it didn't burn you. and his eyes, a molten gold so eerie yet so soft as he stared at you with an expression difficult to read. melancholic? wistful? you couldn't tell which.
his hands held yours so gently, and they fit so perfectly together. he called you 'his queen', you didn't understand why, but something in your heart stirred. as if a force took hold of your soul, you responded.
"We have met again, my King."

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

it’s really beyond me how subposting is still a recurring event in this hellsite — but i’ll say it once again: if you don’t like what i write or what i do in my own blog, then kindly leave or block me. mutuals or not, i won’t care a shit. you don’t go subposting or spreading hate. that’s highly immature behavior befitting a child :)
i don’t know if it isn’t obvious already, but i spent lots and lots of time rethinking while writing my fics. most of the time it takes weeks or months. whether i’m basing it on a manhwa or not, i spent a lot of time thinking and writing it—for months even—so if you don’t even read it and just label it as if i just plagiarized it in one go… it actually makes me so upset
just… be peaceful pls. if you don’t like it, then block me. it’s so simple if you think about it like a mature adult. unless you’re incapable to. thank you

TL;DR: Numb, apathetic, low-to-no motivation, no art or writing for a while, but I'm okay and it'll pass
🧚♂️✨
I'm sorry I haven't been super active lately. I'm just kind of in this weird mental state right now, kind of like floating in the void pretty much
Nothing bad, it just feels like I'm kind of... there. Plus I'm busy with other stuff at the moment and I don't really have a whole lot of motivation to draw or write things (for selfship stuff, I'm also working on my personal project, but even that's kind of "eh-feeling" right now)
I'll answer asks when I'm able to, and I'll have stim stuff queued up, but I won't have the energy or motivation to reblog that much (if I like your art work during this time, that means I'm telling you, "I have this saved to my drafts and I will reblog it with tags when I get the energy to")
So, no art or writing for a little while
But I will be reopening commissions on October 1st, so those may be the only art I do until maybe (hopefully) before Vanilla's (non-canon) birthday, which is October 15th
But yeah, I just have low motivation and low emotions right now (just overall kind of numb, no bad or painful feelings, just numbness and apathy) and I'm just trying to wait it out like usual.
So I may disappear for days at a time, or it'll only be queued up stim gifs, or I may not answer things right away or enthusiastically. It'll pass, but I just wanted to let you all know 🫂
Just know that I do care and I do enjoy getting messages/asks/and being tagged in stuff, even if it may seem like I'm ignoring you.
Usually I either forget to reply, forget to hit send (and end up going, "why didn't they say anything- oh."), or I can't think of the right words to say...
