Ivan is only allowed tenderness when Till isn’t conscious. Every other interaction between them is marked by violence (anything is better than nothing at all.)

There's so many great scenes this week. Qian coming home drunk and, still unaware that he is the one that Yuan likes, tries to comfort Yuan; "Isn't it tiring to love him?" The work party, where Qian sorts things out with Ms Feng. Qian noticing that something is wrong with Yuan and immediately going to find him. The confrontation in the storage room. So, so many great scenes, but my favourite was this one:

"If he wants me to leave, the sooner the better, right?"

Yuan has always done what Qian has told him to do, be it joining activities at school or the running club - and now Qian wants him to leave, because Qian needs time and space to come to terms with the realisation that he is the one that Yuan has liked all along, and so Qian sends him away - and Yuan goes, becuase this is what Qian wants, it's what Qian needs, and it's what Qian asks of him. Yuan sacrifices himself by going, alone, to a foreign country across the world, where he knows noone, leaving behind his family and the promising future he's already started building with the game they developed - all so that Qian won't be the one to leave.

That's why the next scene hurts so much, because Yuan has already accepted that he's going to leave for New York - not for his own sake, not to move on, but for Qian. With Yuan out of the house, Qian can come home again, can stop sleeping at the office and can, hopefully, take better care of himself (thought Yuan has always been the one to stay by Qian's side and take care of him).

And so Yuan is the one who gets between them when Lili confronts Qian, Yuan is the one who protects Qian and the desicion to send Yuan away, Yuan is the one who pushes Qian to go on upstairs to spare him Lili's anger - because Yuan knows that Qian is suffering too, and wants to spare him any more pain.

When Qian gets to escape upstairs, Yuan stays with Lili and tries to comfort her, tries to turn the whole thing into something positive - for Lili and Qian both, so that at least the two of them will hopefully reconcile, to keep their little family from falling apart entirely, and to make sure that Lili will be there, with Qian, while Yuan is sent away.

"Qian is doing this for our sake."

And then the cut to the dark bedroom and crying and are you crying with me yet???

when i heard the news of Akira Toriyama's death I was devastated. I wanted to make a tribute but I thought that anything I did would not even come close to representing what he meant to me, what he meant to everyone. what his work did to people, the sort of joy it brought into people lives. every time something bad happens and I feel horrible I'd always go online, watch an episode of dragon ball, play some chrono trigger, etc. and it would always calm me down instantly, no matter what happened, no matter how bad things got. so I decided to just do something, I owe him that much at least

and this is the result

may the other world be kind to you, you will be missed

Yurii Glodan was killed in action

He joined the Ukrainian defense forces last year after his wife Valeriia and their 3-month-old baby Kira were killed in the Russian missile strike on Odesa.

An entire family was wiped off by the Russian invasion...

What if Soap and ghost were on a mission that turned south. Not because of the unpredicted gun fight. Or because the target tried to run.

Cw: Main Character Death

No they were almost always prepared for those kinds of complications. Almost expected them. It was very rare that things went to perfectly to plan, and it was almost disappointing when it didn't happen.

What they weren't prepared for was a botched opportunity to aquire some new intel.

It wasn't that they couldn't download the intel. They both always had a flash drive on them for just in case scenarios, like this one. It wasn't even that the intel was fucked... well, kinda...

They'd agreed that soap would grab the intel, ghost would start taking the target back to the exfil location, and wait for soap there. Easy enough, right?

He shucked the protection of his gloves, in favor of the dexterity he needed for the touch screen. Turns out grabbing intel was not so easy if said intel is bugged to detonate a bomb underneath the warehouse as soon as the download starts... there's a distinct *CLICK* and soap has half a second to think 'well I'm fucked'

And then he's opening his eyes to dust and debris bathed in the orange light of fire. There's something that digs into his back, right between his shoulder blades. His head rings. Or maybe that's his radio.

One hand paws at his radio, as he uses his other hand to push himself up. Both attempts in vain. His radio toned in his ear, and while he did manage to get standing it for only for about half a second before he collapsed. He released the button on his radio. Still it crackled unintelligibly.

Thank god he decided to look into electrical wiring for setting up a new model of charges because after a minute and a lot of fiddling, his radio garbled something half understandable.

"-NNY! HOW COPY? JOHNNY! HOW! COPY!"

"Ah'm alive. Warehouse blew."

"I know. You injured?"

"Aye, can't hold m'legs under me. How'd you get the target to confess to the bomb?" It felt like his head was swimming.

"I didn't. It was the giant bloody mushroom cloud. Don't. Move. I'm comin' for ya."

Oh. Yeah, that made more sense, huh.

"Aye, I'll wait fer ya, L.T."

Ghost asked him questions the whole while, keeping him awake. Soap questioned him back, ever the opportunist, to find out more about the man.

"Ghost." He says abruptly cutting off whatever ghost had been saying, as soon as his eyes fluttered opened. "Ah think... ah think ah'm losin' time."

He heard ghost curse under his breath, and his breathing pick up. "Stay awake, Johnny. You hear? Keep talkin' to me. Tell me-.. tell me 'bout your sister. How's she doin'."

"That's a new one. Never had anyone tell me ta keep flappin' my gums..." he coughs wetly, "Hey- is it supposed to be hard to breathe? That's not normal, right?"

Ghost goes really quiet on hsi end of the line then. And then he speaks up, really softly. "Johnny?"

"Yeah, L.T?"

"Liten to me very carefully. Have you been impaled?"

Soap looks down at himself. It's hard to breathe, but he's got nothing poking out of him, so, "no?"

Ghost curses again.

Oh. Hey was the fire that close before? Shouldn't ge be hot, not shivering his fuckin' balls off? Something's... thats... Something's definitely wrong. His eyelids threaten to fall closed.

Wait! No. He's supposed to stay awake. That's what ghost said... he thinks... right? You're not supposed to fall asleep. He learned that in basic didn't he? Why was it so hard to think? Maybe it was the shivering? Wait, but there was fire. He should be hot. He should be trying to get away from it... but he was so tired? He should sleep if he's tired, right? Listen to his body and all that.

Wait! But ghost said!

"Can you talk to me, L.T? 'M tired..."

"JOHNNY! Stay awake! You hear?" The volume of the garbled words startles soap awake again.

"Talk? W'na 'ear yer voice.." he slurs

Ghost answers him appropriately... he thinks. The voice is soothing. He could fall asleep to that voice so easily...

When ghost finds soap he's not breathing, his pulse is faint, and fire is creeping ever closer. He starts rescue breaths immediately. Next come the chest compressions. He feels something snap underneath his hands. He keeps going. Med-evac should be here by now he thinks.

PLEASE! JOHNNY, PLEASE!

he doesn't wake up. His pulse fades weaker and weaker.

He still has time. He still has time. He still has time. He. Still. Has. Time.

He's not losing him. He's not losing him He's not losing him. HE IS NOT LOSING HIM!

Oh... but the medical team pulls him away. He fights back. They drag him out of the building. He watches as they carry soaps lifeless body out through fire.

They don't even start chest compression again. They just lay him down in a body bag and zip it up

A gutteral, heart-wrenching scream rips through the air. It's him. He knows it's him. But he can't feel it. Can't hear it. Not really anyway. He screams, pushes, curses, shoves. Anything to bring Johnny back.

Johnny does not come back.

He collapses. They have to drag both him and Johnny the body back to the helo.

That's it. That's how it ends.

Nothing quiet and soft like they both hoped for. Nothing brilliant or spectacular. Not even taking the life of an enemy or saving a comrade's life. Just...

The autopsy report said a punctured lung.

The explosion must've broken his ribs. His best guess it that it punctured his lung when he'd tried to get up tjat first time. Then fluid began to fill his lungs. And neither of them knew. Not until it was too late anyway. Soap had gone into shock, and Ghost hadn't been able to get there fast enough. They said they didn't know how he survived so long with the filled lung.

But ghost knows. He stayed to talk to simon. Just for a little longer.

That's the only consolation he gets as he fills out the mission report. That soap's hear stopped beating to the sound of his voice. He'd always said simon had a lovely voice, he wasn't sure if he believed that but soap seemed to think so.

But what now... what... happens... now...

This was supposed to be like 2.5 sentences but it grew legs and ran away from me

Sephiroth's face when he's talking about Genesis and Angeal utterly wrecks me. He so obviously loves them both so much.

One thing I think about a lot is Elias and his mum. Like, the only reason he changed his mind and decided to detonate the bomb is bc his mum wouldn’t come out and talk to him. She didn’t even want to *see* him (from Elias’ pov at least). Despite the fact that earlier in the series he was adamant that he didn’t want to have anything to do with her (although I have wondered whether that’s an idea that the Morley’s planted in his head, or maybe straight up told him to say), she’s still his mum and he still needs her. Then later in the series in the last few seconds before he ceases to exist when they’re hugging, the idea that that might be the only time in the series when he actually genuinely knows he is loved, and how the whole loop is him chasing after that feeling of being loved yet it takes the loop breaking for him to get it. Stuff like that.

#these two mean so much to me #I think about Elias’ mum way too much actually #more than I probably should do for such a minor character #like that scene when she’s looking through her box of his baby stuff with the news report about the bomb I. the background #ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING #OH MY GOD #also fantastic writing/direction #that scene says so much with no words I love it #bodies 2023 #bodies netflix #elias mannix #julian harker #Sarah Mannix #love her to bits <33 #she deserved sm better #I mean tbh they all deserved sm better LMAO #this show wants all of its characters to suffer
