Cowboy!Soap does not leave you alone while he's deployed. He may be out of Texas but he still blows up your phone. You act like it bothers you, but every time he texts you it makes you smile. He calls you at the same time every night even though you know it must be an ungodly hour for him, wherever he is. He asks you about your day, you ask about his, and he's quiet for a beat every time before he sighs and tells you it was long. He's just so happy to hear your voice.
The stretches of time when he doesn't call you are bad. They hurt your chest, anxiety sharp behind your ribs as you wait for... any news. All your worries forgotten when he calls you again like nothing happened. You don't cry, not for him, but you press your fingers against your lips and listen to him tell you what trouble he and Gaz have gotten into recently. It's good to hear his voice. You never remember how much you miss it until he hangs up. Your friends are all under the impression you're keeping it cool, you always do.
Except when he steps off the plane into the blazing Texas sun and you break into a sprint to throw yourself in his arms before anyone can get in a word of greeting. He catches you as easily as breathing, presses his face against your shoulder and hugs you tight. And he smells like sand, like military issue soap, like stale cigarette smoke, like sun and gunpowder, and home. He breathes you in, and sighs, unspooling in your arms with a quiet, "'M home bonnie" that just makes your bury your face against his neck so no one can see how emotional you are over three little words.

so I'm working on my mr. qi expansion mod (still not sure what I'll call it) and I'm working on commentary for each of the different Qi Challenges but I have NO IDEA what to have him say for the fucking qi fruit.
like, dude, are they supposed to look like you? they don't. they sell for a single gold. how do they have sunglasses? are they genetically-engineered? could you at least have made them taste good? are they magical? do you sneak out to the fields every night and draw the sunglasses on them yourself? why are they grown from beans yet turn into melons? how do they grow so damn fast? when the challenge ends, do you personally steal all of the remaining beans from my chests and inventory? why do you need 500 of them?
and why do some of the villagers like them as gifts?? demetrius i understand, he'd want to study them, and robin would like them to give to her husband. elliot, leah, and linus would find them interesting, harvey would be curious about the health effects, but jodi and kent?? pam??? shane??? what are they going to do with a qi fruit? fuckin slice that shit and eat it like cantaloupe?
I don't even know where to start with answering any of these questions. and I'm not sure I want to.

every time top surgery is getting discussed in the news a trans guy will be like wow it sucks that everyone is being so publicly disgusted by my body with no repercussions it's as though they don't think we're people with feelings. and then a million people will jump in like ALSO SOME CIS WOMEN (the only people who can get breast cancer) ALSO LOOK LIKE THIS. this picture of a trans man that everyone is calling a mutilated freak instantly made me think of cis women, and look at her living her best life! misgendering? i'm a trans ally but come on, it's a drawing, don't you think that's being a bit silly? art is about interpretation anyway - we should celebrate ALL afabs who get mastectomies, for whatever reason ^.^

sorry to bother but by any chance do you still have that video you made of Harry and Peter to that "would you be mad if I killed your family" audio? searching through tags has been about as helpful as tumblr search functions ever are
Tumblr shadowbanned that post for some reason (I reblogged it just now and it didn't even show up on my dash!) but yes, here it is
