a few weeks ago I said I should start taking notes while watching only friends so here are my unfiltered and unedited thoughts on ep. 11:
aw, Plug and Yo are back together.. and now Sand's probably even more sad
honestly I'm with Top here, if Mew said he was ready to forgive him and is now playing this stupid game that's not it like let it go, bestie
aww man, Dan if only you knew.. honestly I was rooting for Dan, I don't think he really has an chance anymore but I thought him and Nick were cute
Ray and Sand's mom.. aww what a cute little scene
nooo not Sand being all sad in the bar :(( I can't take First's teary eyes anymore
oh god now they're both crying oh god
uurrgh now that they're all lovey dovey again that Boeing drama is gonna suck
aaand there he is
huh?? Mew bestie, if you want to give Top a chance then stop being a bitch and actually give him the chance what are you saying??
just shuuut uuup Boeing pls
Boeing is so petty it's hilarious
uuuh, Boston-Nick-Atom-Drama let's goo
yoo, not Nick and Boston teaming up to get revenge they are sick!! two little psychos
not Boston literally saying Atom should get a grip
man, Nick is just so nice I can't take it.. yeah, he's a bit of a weirdo but he's nice
oh yeah just Sand and Ray making me feel even more single than I already am, thanks guys
not Mew and Top both having big fat trust issues like that's maybe not the greatest foundation for a relationship
yeah and see, now Mew messed with Top too much after Top messed with Mew and now he's gonna realize he actually wants him back and bla bla bla
can you tell I'm not the biggest fan of Top and Mew??
eww, Boeing smiling at Sand
hands off of Sand, dude
ahahah wdym Boeing wants to be a flight attendant?? that's so funny oh god
life lessons with the mums
actually funny how the short haired mum is literally just moral support like she barely has any lines
okay, okay is this the first TopMew scene that kind of touched me??
why are they striking such poses for a passport picture??
oh I see we are communicating the Boeing issue love that
Atom telling Cheum the truth?? hope Cheum is going to apologize to Boston
Nick's cute little face when Boston said he's only gonna sleep with him I caaan't his smug little face
actually kind of upset I am only now getting the chemistry between Top and Mew like we are in the second to last episode!! this is so annoying up until here their chemistry was non existent and now the show is almost over but who knows maybe it was intended this way, maybe they just were supposed to be weird around each other because Force and Book clearly work well together but everything before today's ep. was so off
bro, the way my smile faded when Boeing came in
uuuuh the tension between them
not Boeing coming to get on Sand's nerves now after he realized he couldn't do anything to Top and Mew
take his annoying ass away I know he's literally just a plot device but pleeaase take him away
bro stop the acting
oh my goooood stop touching Sand!!
oookaaay what kind of road are we taking with this "pool party"??
oh god what was this ending??
and what was this hell of a preview??
I honestly don't know what to say.. I gotta admit this was the least cursed ep. 11 I've ever seen in all the bl's I've watched but it seems like we're gonna get all that bullshit in ep. 12 and I don't know if I like that

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
