Real

I love the idea of Simon being a lovey dovey man, but him being more emotionally absent/not *really* there (in a sense that hes physically there but not THERE. yk?) is more realistic, at least before he learns, i can imagine he was taught this way bcs of his father,

simon, who takes you for granted.

simon, who got used to sleeping the problems away, and waking up in the morning to tea made just for him. you always add honey, and he's got used to the aftertaste

neither of you talk about it. he doesn't mention it, for one, and you never seem to hold it against him in the morning, so he always keeps quiet. it's peaceful like that. comfortable

simon, who doesn't feel the need to hold you at night because you're always upset, no matter what he does or what he says, so he gives you space

simon, whose eyes wander from time to time, lingering

you, and the way your hands stop reaching out to him one day

simon, who doesn't understand it when you bring up divorce

you, packing your bags and leaving him with a small smile. you don't text, you don't come back, you give no explanation

goodbye

simon, who can only sip his whiskey, hoping it can numb the growing pain in his chest

and it hits him, weeks later, that you meant it

you're done

simon, who is alone again

buy me a coffee

Idk if I should put a cw but... mention of murder and spoilers for s1

Okay, okay, hear me out

Bear, who felt like God had taken his firstborn daughter as punishment for the murder of an innocent child during a mission, saved a 13 y.o. girl, though he wanted to bring Rip home more than anyone else on the team.

And Caulder, who literally once rejected Rip as his commander because of a broken trust, shot Nasry and stopped him from killing Rip. 

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

REAL

This is how i imagined 141 looking at Konig when he's added to the story with no context:

Also, when he's replacing Gaz.. like, who is this guy..

nothing more flattering than someone saying "oh don't get her going" in reference to you when a topic you're passionate about is brought up

i think simon's hair would get pretty scruffy when it grows out on leave...

(speedpaint under the cut!)

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS

THEY CAN'T LET IT GO EITHEEEER

AAAA

pov: you just looked up from flirting with sgt. mactavish for the past half hour in the rec room wyd

And what if I give Soap a younger sister that joins the SAS a year or two after Soap does because their home life wasn't great? And what if she worked hard like him, busted her ass like him, to be put in his unit so they could be together because he was the only comfort she had? And what if she got to his unit the day he died, not even having a chance to see him after a year because their leaves never lined up? And what if the last memory of her brother she has his his body being carried with blood dried to his head as Ghost brings him to where he needs to put the body? And when Price has to call her to see the body that's the first time 141 got to meet Soap's sister? The sister he bragged about all the time? The sister who was almost a mini him, with a similar interest in demolition and explosives? And what if Price pushes her up a rank so she's a Sgt?

Price using Soap's sister as his replacement, holding her to a standard that's basically impossible for someone who has been a sergant less than a month. Making her self esteem lower and lower until Laswell has to step in and make Price see that Soap's sister isn't him. That Soap may live on in his sister in a sense, but that doesn't mean she is him.

I just love Soap's sister being very similar to him and being emotionally destroyed by 141. Idk why I live for it
