#Soap doesn't mind

[gazspookiebear]

Ghost hcs mostly him having autism

Has compression socks and gloves bc they help keep him regulated, but he HATES tight clothing anywhere else. He strictly wears loose and baggy clothing, like oversized hoodies

Hates flavored water unless it's tea. Green tea? Sure. Any kind of sparkling water? Nuh uh

Likes mud and rain puddles. Don't ask me why

Can't stand the smell of coffee in the morning, it overwhelms him. He can and will leave the room if someone just made coffee

Doesn't like hugs, or really just being touched in general. (Mostly due to trauma, but the autism isn't helping either)

That being said, when he does get hugged, he prefers it to be firm. Heavy knuckles running up and down his back is the quickest way to make him melt in your arms. Soap is the only one allowed to do this, but Price and Gaz will very occasionally be offered one of those awkward one-armed half hugs if they need one.

He masks most of the time (literally and figuratively) so it's not very obvious that he's autistic from first glance. If he's comfortable with the people around him, or if he's alone, he might stim

He does jazz hands as a stim, and can occasionally be found tiptoe walking

He also knocks his knuckles together and rasps them on desks. He likes the noise.

He prefers rough or smooth textures over soft/fluffy ones. Denim, mesh, leather, linen, and polyester are the only fabric types he'll be comfortable in.

He keeps his hair buzzed, not just because he's in the military, but because he pulls on it and ends up tearing it out of his head when he gets sensory overload from it touching his face (me too bro, me too)

He listens to metal songs on max volume when he's sensory seeking (you can hear that shit through his headphones)

He doesn't like having things in his ears, so he prefers headphones over earbuds. He won't complain if he has to use earbuds though.

Surprisingly enough, he can't stand weighted blankets. Unless that weighted blanket is Soap 😏

He gets aggressive when he's excited, so he'll often go to the gym to blow off some steam. Rookies see him going to town on a punching bag and assume he's pissed, but really he just doesn't know how else to express his feelings.

He hyperfixated on komodo dragons for a while (he now has several random facts in his arsenal)

His special interest is weapons. Any kind, he just thinks they're interesting. Especially crossbows. (He knows just about every weapon under the sun, ask him literally anything)

He steals Soap's phone to play neko atsume (he has become emotionally attached to the cats, but you didn't hear me say that)

He prefers to sleep with blankets under him instead of on top because it makes his skin crawl if they're not the right texture.

He's always cold but radiates heat like a motherfucker, definitely has an electric blanket at his place

He has a favorite pen that he carries everywhere, refuses to use anything else.

He eats the most random food combinations. Tomatoes with sour cream? Delicious. Avocados with cream cheese? Absolutely divine. A normal fucking sandwich? Hell no.

He struggles with hygiene but hates feeling dirty. He'll often force himself to shower even when he knows it'll drain his energy.

He has to buy a specific type of eyeblack because of the texture. He doesn't like any kind that feels too greasy. Not that it'll stop him from wearing it if that's all that's available, but he won't be happy about it.

He used to bite his hands as a kid. Hard. He has a few small scars because of it

He enjoys heavy bass. He likes low rumbling/knocking noises. He may or may not be considering buying a bass drum...

Alternates between sleeping in a hammock and a bed at his place

Loves chairs that spin, though you'd never catch him spinning 😔

Everything he says sounds sarcastic, even when he's being genuine. This has caused many people to get annoyed with him.

He tends to grind his teeth, so he chews on tree bark to keep his mouth busy

He used to climb trees as a kid because he liked the way the wind felt from up high in the leaves

He isn't a fan of the way paper feels. That being said, He loves old books. He spends most of his downtime at the library since it's quiet and peaceful, plus it gives him a way to get out of the house and busy himself.

He still wears a mask off duty for many reasons. For starters, he's never been the best at facial reactions. He thinks it's easier to just hide it altogether than to try and contort his face into the "appropriate" reaction. Secondly, he has stims and occasional tics where his mouth moves, and he doesn't want people to stare. (Snapping his mouth like a shark... so real to me) Also, he just thinks it should be common practice. He's never understood why people don't cover their mouth and nose, or at the very least cover it when they cough/sneeze.

He will actually fan the air in front of him if someone he doesn't like just walked by. He doesn't want to breathe "their air". (Graves was very confused as to why Ghost kept waving the air every time he walked by)

He wears sunglasses in public, regardless of whether or not it's sunny out. He just doesn't want to have to make eye contact with people if he doesn't have to. He can make eye contact, but he much prefers not to.

He punches his legs or the walls when overstimulated.

He has dromophobia (fear of crossing streets) and tends to speedwalk across roads

Has the biggest vocabulary known to man because he used to read dictionaries as a kid. (He can and will abuse this power when someone is annoying him)

Prefers non-fiction. That's it.

He cleans doorknobs daily. He specifically keeps a pack of wipes with him to clean doorknobs- who the fuck knows when they were cleaned last. He can't stand the idea of touching something that dozens, if not hundreds of people (who may or may not have washed their hands) have touched prior.

His favorite color is orange. He always avoids touching anything orange because he's worried he'll ruin it somehow.

He washes his hands before and after everything he does (when he can)

He has a crowbar. He keeps it beside his bed, and he's very fond of it.

He can stay completely still for concerningly long amounts of time. Useful for missions, unnerving the rest of the time. Can and will be seen in the corner of a room staring at people.

@waiting-so-long I'm so glad someone wanted to hear my nonsense lmao

Scorpions from the past

#the Scorpions are a reference to his comics and past trauma #i definitely think that ghost would have triggers or moments where he beeaks down and some of them are during really bad moments #also i post more soapghost on twitter #It's 7am and I have yet to sleep but my mind is only thinking about the next part of the comic #simon would most likely disassociate and ghost would take over #soap would blame himself because he couldn't calm him down in time to not let ghost come out #If he hadn't pressed his mouth closed so hard or bs able to properly calm down #that he wouldn't have to build this wall up again. #i also think ghost would come out especially when he realizes that Simon's directly putting not only soap but himself in harm's way #But the comfort bits where soap slowly softens ghost back up by just spending time near him #telling jokes and getting simon to realise he's safe again so he doesn't need to put up the walls #but soaps inability to help was the final straw that let ghost out so it'll be really rough to loosen his walls again #simon riley #ghostsoap #john mactavish #soapghost #fanart #mw2 fanart

“What's your opinion on kisses?”

Roach looks up, at his voice, pausing from where he was tinkering with… something (looks like a bunch of weird… cogs) and staring at where Soap is sitting in front of him for a moment.

“Like, on the cheek?” he asks, genuine curiosity in his voice.

Soap smiles for a second.

“Sure, why not.”

The smaller man’s eyes scrunches up for a moment of concentration, expression mostly hidden by the mask. Soap swears he sees what looks like a grimace for a second.

“Like giving them, don't like being given.”

While this wasn’t what he had in mind, curiosity sparks at the answer.

“Oh?” He chuckles, a smile forming on his face. “Why?”

“People get a little too enthusiastic and tend to slobber my face,” he says while scrunching up his face in disgust.

A scoff from his left has Soap turning around, staring at Ghost who’s sitting on the bean bag, book in hand.

“Good thing you can’t kiss yourself then.”

He chuckles again and turns just in time to see Roach throw Ghost the middle finger. He smothers a hand over his mouth, calming any laughter that might’ve come from that.

A beat passes comfortably before Soap goes back to his inquiry.

“How about on the lips.”

A blank look is what answers him.

Ghost pipes in from behind, and when Soap turns his head to look at him he finds eyes already set on them, gaze dark and heavy.

It sends a thrill down his spine.

“You’re going to have to be more specific,” he rumbles.

Soap turns around and stares at Roach.

“Like a press of lips.”

Roach hums, before admitting quietly;

“Don’t know, never did that.”

His smile turns softer, taking a breath he leans over, bracing a hand on the mattress between their legs, narrowing the space that separates them.

“Can I try something, then,” he mutters.

He watches in first person as Roach’s pupils get blown wide, he smiles, but they’re looking directly at him. “Sure,” he whispers.

Taking it as permission, Johnny pulls the mask down and closes the space.

Pecking him on the corner of the mouth and staying there for a couple of seconds before he pulls away, not too far. But close enough to share breath.

Hand still holding the mask down, he pauses to gauge Roach’s reaction.

His eyes are still staring at him, heavier and half lidded, a soft exhale leaves him.

“Do it, again.”

The warmth in Johnny’s chest grows, so gently, he goes back but this time pressing his lips directly with Gary’s.

[pettyprocrastination]

Soap is the guy you get into a meaningless fling with. just fun sex and no feelings attached but then you of COURSE get feelings cause he’s so sweet and funny and will bring you dinner which inevitably leads to a teary eyed conversation where you tell him this can’t keep happening and he’ll say he understands and pulls you in to a big hug before saying goodbye but then anytime he’s on leave his ass is calling you up all over again

#tj talks #he'll do that shit of 'what? we can't have a drink as friends?' #meanwhile you both know damn well it will end with his face between your legs the cycle never ENDSSSS #until you start seeing somebody else fr while he's deployed and then he comes back expecting some fun times and you have to sternly tell him #that no. youre seeing somebody now. a reAL relationship and you can't keep doing this #and he'll say he understands with a well-meaning smile #but then he's back at his apartment like >:/ because this guy doesn't even sound good enough for you smh you can do better #playing with cod men like barbie dolls dont mind me #soap mactavish x reader

Me whenever the enemies would toss back my grenade during gameplay:

#soap cod #john soap mactavish #gaz cod #kyle gaz garrick #my art #that convo is stuck in my mind ever since I first laid eyes upon it #ignore the fact that Soap doesn't have a gun this was legit just a quick warmup I couldn't get out of my head #for gameplay Ghost would have been more accurate #but I feel like this screams Gaz and Soap #minor details you may not have noticed: union jack turns into Scottish flag #Soap turns into Javon (but it's so small I can barely read it when I did it) #and Gaz's hat says “RIP LOL”

I think last time Sarah had a "bath" it was in a lake :p So she's really surprised by hot/warm water)

The idea that Sarah hated having to bathe because the lake was always cold. When they were little they had to be dragged, as an adult Winnie started locking them out of the cotgage if they went too long without one (they pushed this a lot but would always begrudgingly go eventually. It was a half decent place to run into boys, too so not all bad)

So they hear Max and Daniela go "Sarah, love, you NEED a bath" and their mind instantly goes to a freezing cold river. They're whining about it but eventually Daniela convinces them to just come with her (because she has doubts Sarah can work a faucet)

And once the bath is filled and Daniela finally convinces Sarah to get in it they are just shocked at how nice the water feels. There's no cold shock. No having to adjust to the temperature. It's just...

Warm.

This is SO MUCH BETTER than the lake.

#dani helping sarah bathe not because sarah cant #but because they have also never had such nice smelling soaps before and immediatly tried to drink the shampoo #asks #horror lady00 #max doesn't help out of respect for women's privacy #althrough sarah probably wouldn't have minded having him there

on today's episode of "trying to decipher what ben is saying in the tags"...

on that soap gifeset: 'he needs *** **** ****** ****' = he needs his face fucked hard???? 🤔🤔🧐👀

(if that's it i agree wholeheartedly)

SO incredibly real and true but i think it was 'he needs his hole played with' because i just wrote abt that when i rbed skljdkjfhts

#also soap hole is on my mind 24/7 let's be real #but u just reminded me this wip doesn't even have a bj scene yet. need to rectify that #anon #asks

I feel like saying Josuke doesn't have any daddy issues whatsoever isn't entirely fair (I've seen some fic and comics go further into how he and his mom might have been treated due to the circumstances of his birth that were pretty compelling) but people who act like he grew up without any father figure are definitely off base imo. Every single adaptation and extra material have always had a focus on his close relationship with his grandpa for a reason!

see, that's precisely the thing. it is literally impossible to be a grown up human without having internalised some sort of illogical Feeling about oneself or the world – but fandom as a whole tends to just assign arbitrary ones to characters based on stereotypes rather than what they actually are like.

i do think josuke feels some sort of way about his lack of a father growing up, but that's as inevitable as joseph himself (or giorno, or jolyne, or even jonathan) having feelings about his own dad, and yet somehow jorge's absence does not get brought up despite joseph and josuke's fairly similar upbringings. the fact is that most of western fandom tends to view the JJBA characters through a (white, usa-centric) lens that simply does not lend itself to a fair or accurate reading when most of the cast is either POC or from an entirely different cultural background. that's why i'm so resistant to label josuke as having 'daddy issues'; the term means something entirely different to me than it seems to do to most of the fandom, based on all the fic, comics, and discussions i've seen (and had) about the topic. it's not exactly like the organised crime aspect of VA, but it fills me with a similar kind of frustration. i don't think one needs a degree in cultural studies or history or whatnot to enjoy a silly series about people punching each other with slutty soul-ghosts, but it's exhausting to see the same thoughtless, very specifically westernised takes being regurgitated over and over as Absolute Truth until the characters are so flanderised they seem nothing as much as a caricature of their original versions. i love transformative works as much as any other fan creator, but i also happen to like the source material. it is infinitely more interesting to me to think about what kind of relationship josuke might have to his heritage as a mixed-race person, or his identity as the son of a single mother or the obviously cherished and spoilt child of a family such as his own (especially in a place and period like canon's late-90s/early 00's japan), than to hear yet another iteration of 'haha, josuke has daddy issues' where the person saying it has no intention of analysing that premise beyond the puddle-depth obvious.

at barely sixteen years old, even as interested in high-end fashion (and as very much part of a working class family who could definitely use the nest egg) as he is, josuke's immediate reaction to being told his missing father is incredibly rich and wants to take care of him is to say that it's not necessary, and he's fine as he is. sixteen. i worked as a teacher with kids as young as a year old and people as old as mid-seventies; that kind of ease of mind is one-in-a-million and not something you'll find on someone who fits fandom's definition of 'daddy issues'. he's not angry at joseph, he's not grasping for money, he hardly even wants to find out more about the missing part of his origins. his only thought is to wish he wouldn't be the reason other people were hurt, and to protect his mother once there is a risk she might find out and be distressed about it. his entire morality system is (from what i remember of canon) mostly based around the question What Would Grandpa Do?, with some leeway allowed for the temper he clearly got from tomoko and for the fact that he is, again, a big and slightly spoilt sixteen year old.

so yeah. it might not sound fair to say he doesn't have daddy issues, but i don't think the terms fandom's operating under are fair to start with, so i'd rather recuse myself (and my interpretation of the character) from it all til we're playing the same game. the sandbox's wide and wild, and the block and mute buttons are there for a reason, so i'll just stay in my corner writing about higashikatas wielding their feelings like sledgehammers til my mum says it's time to go home.

#tl;dr: everyone's absolutely entitled to their opinion! i just happen to find the most common one the equivalent of soap-flavoured cilantro #i definitely agree with the part about his rship with his grandfather! it's a whole thing in my own writing for them #it's just 'daddy issues' has become shorthand for a combination of takes i quite dislike the past few years #so yeah. i'll just... Not. if y'all don't mind #(i do think Other characters have daddy issues in the traditional sense. and even in the popular modern sense. but not josuke particularly) #anyway i hope this doesn't read as confrontational as i fear it sounds bc that was. so not my intention orz #ty for the ask!!!! i really love discussing character analysis i'm just rly tired rn so i probably sound super Debate Team Mode haha #ps ryohei was 100000% josuke's favourite person in the world growing up and he's still tomoko's special baby gremlin at age 50 pass it on #josuke higashikata #jojo #the funny thing abt my fic is i'm really at ease abt posting my shippy stuff bc it's just like. treating myself to sth nice #and then sharing with everyone as a bonus #but the stuff where i actually talk abt familial and platonic rships for my faves lives in eternal development hell bc i just LOVE it #and never feel like it's perfect enough to share. it's never complete because it's always evolving #which is why i once wrote a novel allegedly about detectives in love but in reality about 100kish of family/friendship character analysis #meaning there was no way this ask could've ever been answered succinctly lol #ask tag #joji.txt #joosk #anonymous

aga naomi-sensei and oyoshikawa kyoko-sensei really punch me in the face with that new oni to tengoku chapter...
