soapghost circus au

ghost’s an extreme motorcycle stunt performer - globe of death, riding on his back wheel along tightropes, that sort of thing

soap’s a fire breather/dancer. he’s a roaming performer; he just finds empty spaces or bored people and starts twirling

he pretends not to notice the way he always wanders towards a certain tent every night to watch a certain masked daredevil defy gravity. he thinks he's slick and that ghost won't notice him in the crowd, completely forgetting that he's carrying something that happens to be on fire

ghost couldn't miss him if he tried

one day off, soap's trialing fire whips; he loves the loud crack and the way the flame licks through the air and maybe he's a little too impatient to practice with non flaming whips first, even though he's never used one before

he's covered in soot and fine welts where the tip of the whip keeps flicking back up at him, cutting through his shirt and stinging his skin but he doesn't let that stop him. it starts to stick to him, damp with sweat and blood and he's quick to strip it off; throwing it to the side to keep practicing

when soap finally gets a few good cracks in a row and breaks to celebrate, he almost jumps out of his skin when he sees the masked rider leaning against a trailer watching him

of all the times he's wanted ghost to talk to him, this is not one of them

he wanted to impress him, dance for him with his flaming batons and be mesmerised by his fluidity and skill

not catch him filthy and struggling with something as basic as a whip

he's ready for ghost to ream him out for not having control over the whip - he's known throughout the circuit for expecting utter perfection in his routines - but when ghost finally does speak, it's only to ask if he's done for the day

soap falters for a moment. he wanted to get some consistency with the whip before he stopped, but he's starting to feel the hours of practice; muscles aching and skin blistered with minor burns

he says he is and ghost pushes off the trailer, nodding his head to make soap follow. he brings him back to his trailer and tells him to clean up then takes out his personal med kit to treat the grazes on soap's skin

soap's shocked; for all that he loves to watch ghost perform, they've never really talked before

part of why he joined the circus was so he wouldn't be a burden on anyone, the oldest in a family with too many mouths to feed and not even time to nurture, and here he is taking up ghost's valuable practice time be he wasn't good enough to handle his own discipline. he tries to brush him off, downplaying the burns and tries to leave before half them can be treated but ghost just glares and orders him to sit back down

ghost does expect perfection from himself but it isn’t out of any malice or ego; it's bc he knows if he isn't perfect, he could very easily die. he’s picked a dangerous profession and he gives it the respect it deserves. there isn't any shame in being a novice or failing at something; he thinks there's a lot of beauty in having the courage to get back up again and again

so every day he watches soap practice and bullies him into his trailer to put him back together bc he knows he won't do it by himself

and every night soap wanders over to ghost's section of the fair grounds, in awe of his skill and wishing he could be worthy of the care he gives him

#have i posted this before? yes but it has an actual idea behind it now #anyway back on my ‘soap pushes himself too hard to meet expectations only he is holding him to’ bullshit #price is obviously the ring master and id say gaz is probably trapeze #ghost used to work for robas circus who kept pushing him to do more and more dangerous stunts with less and less safety measures in place #and for a long time he thought thats how it was supposed to be #he was supposed to court death every night. supposed to limp back to his trailer and take care of his own injuries #and its only when price comes to one of his shows to scope out roba as competition and confronts him afterwards abt the conditions #that he realises something might be wrong #so seeing his past staring back at him in the form of soap hurts something deep within him and he has to make it right #he doesnt want soap to have to live with the same deep pains that he does #injuries that couldve been avoided if hed just gone easier on himself #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #we’re a team. ghost team #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghoap #john soap mactavish #soap cod #simon ghost riley #ghost cod

abusive parents: in the 'real' world--

me: ah yes, because your house where you force children into submission is an imaginary land, devoid of reality, a fantasy place where nobody has experienced an actual real-life event, and you yourself have transported this place out of reality only for me to be able to experience this imaginary world where you are the god and decide whats real and what isn't, as well as what past events can be revisioned to your liking. Which one of us isn't living in the real world again.

#abusive parents #toxic parents #bullshitting children #child abuse #the real world #there is no other world than the real world #and parents trying to trick you into believing you haven't experienced real world #is a scam and a lie #their house is not only the real world #but the most dangerous part of the real world #where empathy doesn't exist and you have no human rights #real world has human rights #and laws against abuse #and laws against child exploitation #and laws against violence #and it says parents should take care of their children #and not what you've been doing #you created a bubble where you do illegal things to me #and then lecture me about how none of it is real #it was real alright #my body remembers everything #and so do you #but you remember it with pleasure #gross

Rewatching succession it really is wild to see Kendall and Shiv convince themselves over and over again that they can "fix ATN/Waystar from the inside" only to completely abandon their morals the minute it gives them a strategic advantage.

When they're on the outside it's an endless diatribe about how evil and rotten the company is to its core, but the second they get the slightest whiff of power they suddenly decide the problems are actually really manageable and that with the right leadership it could be a force for good, and like...the saddest part is that they genuinely seem to believe that.

#where's that crime and punishment quote about how the worst thing is that you've betrayed yourself for nothing... #and they really seem to think its true! they genuinely believe that they can turn it around and make it good! it's not an act! #kendall really thinks he's a feminist and 'one of the good ones' and shiv really does think she stands with/for women and liberal #ideals and the truth is that no matter how much they might care about those things they will always love power more and they #are infinitely more invested in the power structures that keep injustice alive than they are in actually trying to stop injustice #roman is the only one who's actually aware and honest about how fucked it all is but he thinks that means everything's bullshit and #therefore nothing matters. which can be just as dangerous as convincing yourself you're the good guy (see: america decides) #that's one of the things i like so much about the ending for shiv and kendall bc they're finally forced to confront the lies they've been #telling themselves. and like. maybe that'll go nowhere. maybe they won't change. but they might. and the only hope they have #of actually growing as people and maybe doing something good is if that illusion gets shattered #idk man i just have so many thoughts about succession #succession #shiv roy #kendall roy

just saw this https://collider.com/loki-season-2-sylki-romance-eric-martin-comments/ and well.. it was fun while it lasted. i guess i just don’t understand straight people (like wth eric martin??) because if whatever syl//ki had going on this season is supposed to be romance then..

im sorry this is bad and we should be worried but i've been laughing at this part for a while now

like. even when discussing them as a romance they cant overlook the fact that they're LITERALLY THE SAME PERSON and it's just so funny to me every time

#that whole article is a bunch of fucking garbage i mean tysm for sending it to me im not saying that bc im trying to discredit it or the #real danger of the fact that they can and probably will turn it around but eric martin can suck my ass with his bullshit #loki #lokius #sylvie laufeydottir #anti sylki

I feel like no one at Larian knows that Bane, Bhaal (well now neutral evil as of 5e, for Bhaal, but there is no lore reason for this change? That I can find, anyway. And because there is no reason for this change in character I see no reason knowledge it.) are Lawful Evil deities, with Myrkul as a Neutral Evil god, not chaotic evil ones. I seem them all being referenced as chaotic evil so often in bg3 circles.

I will never shut up about this before it bothers me. LIKE Larian likes creating stories about people and their relationships to gods- but they can't even get the lore for the gods in question- so it ends up just not very good at all.

Like yes when it comes to D&D some lore needs to change because it's either racist, or bigoted. That's all fine good, I love those changes. But the messing around with inconsequential lore? It just bothers me.

The way Larian writes evil gods in bg3 is as if they are all chaotic evil. LIKE Shar is also neutral evil. They take away all of their nuance and what makes them interesting.

AND that isn't to say that chaotic evil characters can not be nuanced and interesting. before Larian massacred his characterize Sarevok was a very compelling character, and very much cable of genuinely loving someone, like his lover Tamoko.

I really like bg3, I wouldn't complain so much if I didn't care about.

#larian critical #bg3 #( in fact I think the way bhaal and he bhaalist are written in bg3 is kind of ablest towards mental illness. ) #( like - ''watch for the mentally ill! they're all dangerous killers!'' kind of bullshit. ) #( bhaal was literally just a power hungry asshole who enjoyed killing to get what he wanted. and what he wanted was power through fear. )

i dont think im done talking abt this, actually. i'm going to try and explain how stupid this whole thing is because there's always SOMEONE going on about how if it wasn't for the circles, and the parallels of the circles to real-life atrocities, "the mage-templar debate" would be a two-sided issue.

actually, it's not.

the "mage-templar debate" is not an issue of ethics even before addressing the conditions of the circle, because you have other options.

the basic premise of the argument is "mages are inherently a danger to themselves and everyone around them. is locking them up to reduce the harm they pose to the general population the correct ethical decision?" but the entire concept is already bullshit even before you address the conditions of the circle, which is where most people claim the civil rights movement comparisons come from.

because. CANONICALLY. you have other options. you have options within the context of the games to reduce the "threat" or "danger" of magic. there's no cases of mass abominations in rivain. there's no cases of mass abominations (as we know understand & abominations anyway) amongst the avvar. there's no cases of mass abominations in tevinter. from the get-go the idea that "mages have to be locked up for their and everyone's safety" is already bullshit, before you even touch the issue of the circles. even before you get to the conditions of the circle, the very existence of mages in rivain and nevarra and the avvar and tevinter already renders the argument null and void.

from it's very inception, the entire premise -- mages are inherently a danger to themselves and everyone around them -- is proven to be a belief, not a fact.

#if you wanna argue rivain and the avvar or whatever are dai-canon additions. tevinter has existed LITERALLY since fucking. #stolen throne. like please shut up lmaooooo #from the get-go it was clear that the belief that mages are inherently dangerous is bullshit #and LATER it got two-sides'd. it was ALWAYS a civil rights issue in the context of the game from the get go #COMPARABLE to the issue of civil rights of elves in the game #dao never fucking shied away from the incisive analysis #da2's narrative structure FORCED a two-sidesing bc of the nature of hawke's role as the protagonist #and dai was just imperialist apologist nonsense #and giving the mages ‟dangerous magical powers‟ to ‟justify‟ their treatment in-game is literally just bioware going ''what if there was a #of oppressed people (oppressed based on a set of erroneous beliefs) but the bigots were RIGHT'' #AND YOU'RE JUST GOING ALONG WITH IT??? #it's not the hot take you think it is lmaoooo #dragon age #my da meta #anti chantry

[overtake]

If i see one more person spread “news” sourced to outlets like f1-insider… please actually pay attention to sources and use critical thought about where it came from. these accounts want their engagement numbers and will share information derived from a fucking reddit comment if they think it’ll earn them a few extra dollars. there’s always an off chance these bullshit tabloids are right, but they almost never are, and a legitimate source will come along if there’s any whisper of truth to it. i just beg of people to simply wait for sources with the slightest bit of credibility to their name before they start sharing information.

#i want christian fired as much as the next person but i’m going to at least wait for an even remotely real source to hint at it first #also wanna clarify upfront #this isn’t an indirect. i haven’t even scrolled my dash today #i always fear a moot will read this and feel called out when its not about them. this is just my entire twitter timeline lol #so it’s a frustration derived from there #drives me up a fucking wall. critical thought is in the toilet. #misinformation is dangerous #and it takes like 40 replies before a single person points out the source #and then theyll be like ‘could be fake but what if its true 🤯’ #like oh my goooooood yeah what IF its true? thatd be crazy. but it’s almost certainly not #so why are you wasting time sitting around sharing stories that some person just invented to get clicks? #if it IS true then a real publication with legit sources and verification methods will post it #at least wait for that bare minimum #keep information from bullshit places like f1-insider to gossip in a group chat if you wanna discuss it #*

“How’s your food?”

The hero wouldn’t know. Their food is currently going cold in front of them, untouched. The villain, on the other hand, has more or less inhaled theirs. 

“Oh, don’t be so dour,” they continue through a mouthful of their dinner. “Agency’s paying for this.”

That much is true. The superhero more or less forced their hand in this, first with promises of time off and a payrise, second with threats of getting fired when the hero didn’t immediately agree. So here they are, in a restaurant they didn’t like the menu of, staring at the food in front of them that’s long stopped steaming, sitting across from the person they want to punch most in the world.

The hero turns their gaze to the doors idly, disinterested. They hope they can go home soon.

“I can’t believe people actually believe you want to help us,” they retort flatly, and the villain frowns innocently.

“I do—that’s why I offered my help.” They say it like it’s obvious, and the hero tuts in annoyance. “That fucker—[Supervillain]—owes me. I’m just getting my own back.”

“He owes you so much you’re trying to set heroes on him,” the hero says disbelievingly, and the villain nods. They train their eyes on the door as well, expectant.

“You think too much, god. Have a drink, loosen up, for both of our sakes.”

The hero glances down at the wine glass on the table, just as untouched as the rest of their dinner. They didn’t like the menu—and honestly this pasta looks wrong somehow—but wine is wine. Hopefully they can have a little faith in something that got here already made.

They swill it in the glass thoughtfully for a moment, staring into the tiny current the movement causes before taking a test sip.

“How is it?” the villain asks hopefully. Their answer comes as the hero tips half the glass into their mouth in one go. To say they look ecstatic would be an understatement. “Oh, wow, must be good.”

It’s okay. It tastes a bit weird, but they imagine everything does here. They don’t care too much – they know they’re meant to be on business, but if they can forget most of the time they’re being forced to spend here it might make it a little better.

They set the glass back on the table with a sigh. The villain watches them eagerly as they lean back in the chair. “Any better?”

“I don’t get drunk off half a glass of wine,” the hero snaps, but they’d be lying to say they don’t feel a little dizzy. “I’m not that much of a lightweight.”

“Shame. Would’ve made for an interesting night if you were.”

The villain goes back to shovelling food into their mouth as the hero heaves a deep breath. They’re feeling worse by the second, the whole world starting to spin nauseatingly, and after a couple of minutes they feel like they’re going to be sick. They lurch to their feet rather suddenly, pulling the villain’s gaze to them in surprise.

“Bathroom,” is all they have time to say before they stagger away from the table and in the vague direction of the signs they saw earlier.

The door bounces off the wall as the hero shoves it open, the clatter it makes against the tile emphasising the headache assaulting them. They stumble to the sinks, shakily turning a tap on and slapping water over their face. It’s refreshing, and it’s only when they feel the cool water on them that they realise how unbearably hot they feel. They have to lean all their weight on the counter to keep themself standing, desperately blinking away the unconsciousness slinking up on them.

They’re barely aware of the door creaking open behind them. There’s movement in the mirror in front of them, though they can barely bring themself to look up beyond the rising sickness. “That wine must’ve been strong,” a familiar voice says from behind them, the sound dulled slightly as if it’s coming from underwater. “You look rough.”

Something—no, that’s someone—touches their shoulder lightly, pulling them away from the counter. They sink to the floor, their support gone, and the villain follows them down worriedly.

“You have a phone, right?” They rummage through the hero’s pockets uninvited. “I’ll call [Superhero]. You really need to go home.”

“Ugh,” is all the response the hero can give them. They can see, somewhat distantly, the villain frowning at their phone in their hand, presumably looking for a contact they can use. They turn away as the door swings open again, and they lean out of the hero’s vision as they get back to their feet.

“What the hell are you doing here?” they snap coldly, and the supervillain hums a laugh.

“Picking up the trash. I knew you’d try to do me in,” he says simply, and he shoves them back to come more into the room. “You’re not the most original criminal, are you?”

There’s a moment of silence, and the lack of anything to concentrate on makes the hero realise how close to passing out they are. “You did this?”

“Who else? You’re too weak to do anything that matters.”

They know it’s not aimed at them, but the last of the hero’s attention is trained on that one sentence as the arguing fades into fuzzy nothingness. You’re too weak to do anything that matters.

Picturing Tuvok spending every second of the Seven years it takes to get back home going "Melding with T'Pel again will fix me" whenever he notices he's doing or thinking something (he perceives as) out of character, strange, ignominious - and then when he finally gets back and melds with her he realizes that nothing's been fixed per say and is like ":/ Fuck."

I'm only acting strange because T'Pel isn't here. #Then seven years later T'Pel is sleeping by his side - her presence firm in his mind and he's staring up at the ceiling like 'Oh No.' #OOPS!

Wait wait, hold on! I can explain.

So, my snake is dumb. Sad little singular peanut brain. He was eating...and fell into his water dish.

My lovely friend heard about this, and had the bestworst idea ever. You see, a current trend in Kpop is to have one of their idols posing in a bathtub filled with water. She even made mock-ups for me.

(Mock ups below the cut, for those who don't want to see an eating snake)

So you can clearly see, I obviously had no choice.

@casualavocados and I were talking about how just how much of a wakeup call watching Sailom get beat up was for Kang because it's the first time the stakes have been this real for him. Before this the stakes for Sailom were always sky high - if he loses his job, he loses his ability to make money and to contribute to paying off the debt and the rent and well, we saw what happens when he can't pay the rent. if he can't get his laptop fixed, he struggles with schoolwork and if his grades slip he loses his scholarship, his position in this school, and his ability to ever get out of this cycle of hardship he is in.

But the stakes for Kang - the worst consequence Kang faced (before Sailom punched him in the face) was his grandmother finding out about the bullying. The worst consequence for Kang was having to say sorry to Sailom. In that interaction the teacher most likely lost his job but Kang had to apologise and that was the worst consequence he has ever had. He has absolutely no consequences anywhere else - not even when he accuses Sailom of being a pedophile. The differences in their lives is so stark and I love the crashing down of everything Kang has ever known when he goes to Sailom's house.

But god, what does it say when the disapproval from his grandmother makes him lose his shit entirely. When he goes wordless and subservient when his father is around. When his father seems mild mannered and family oriented but Kang has it ingrained in his head that his father taught him that you need to break a dog's will to make him obedient. What does it say when that boy loses it at the slightest hint of disapproval from his grandmother. What does it say that even when he has to save Sailom, his brother jumps right in to take care of him as soon as he gets home. That even in all of this someone cares about Sailom.

Kang needs 10 doses of reality but he also needs some love.
