~The Power of Revolution~ I sketched VoidWelt in the iconic pose from utena
Why you ask? I have no idea… I was possessed by voidwelt and utenanthy and when I came to this was just on my screen
Family resemblance? OwO
Some doodles for the Kaveh as VoidWelt’s son headcanon
with bonus grandpa Elias and grandma Vill-V XDD
Spending time with kids always reminds me how much I love the way they play. I’ll be like “hey kid look, this little bug is called an isopod it’s related to crabs and it eats dead plants” and they’ll immediately respond with something like “cool let’s play isopods we have to collect dead leaves as fast as we can and if we don’t get enough we die of starvation and have a bug funeral”
What an amazing way to process new information or explore an idea! It’s important to remember these kinds of games are not random or pointless; playing is how kids learn.

Gran’s Lamb Stew

Soap learned how to make a mean stew from his grandmother. Soap’s grandmother made the most delicious stew in the whole of Scotland and he would fight anyone who disagreed. He inherited his grandmother’s recipe book and he treasures that old spiral notebook like it’s made out of gold. Gaz tries to look at it and Soap hissed at him before running off, the notebook disappearing for several months until it finally reappears.
Soap is cooking a stew. It wasn’t a big pot, just a couple servings. Everyone couldn’t deny how good it smelt and Gaz grew brave and went over to smell it. Soap materialized out of thin air and Gaz’s heart almost stopped. He was immediately chased out of the kitchen and was forbidden from returning. Gaz was so flabbergasted by this that he went to Price.
Price was then later chased out of the kitchen, forbidden from returning. Gaz and him just stood in the doorway, wondering what the hell had gotten into Soap and why he wasn’t willing to share his stew. Several more people were chased out of the kitchen when they came looking for the source of that delicious smell. The crowd was growing and Soap was managing to keep everyone at bay with a evil look. It got to the point that anyone who even looked like they were going into the kitchen for any reason was warned.
Then Ghost walked in.
Gaz tried to warn him but he didn’t listen. He just walked up to Soap who was obsessively observing the stew pot with no fear.
“What is that? Smells amazing.”
“Gran’s lamb stew. Want some?”
Price and Gaz’s jaws dropped as Soap made Ghost a generous bowl of the stew before making himself one. They both left the kitchen and when Gaz went over to the stew pot, he discovered that it was empty. Soap had made just enough for two bowls, and Ghost got one of them.
“So what’s his damage,” Soap whispers to him as he’s floating above Ghost’s sleeping form, in the plane on their way to Mexico.
Roach snorts. “Would be faster to tell you what’s not broken, honestly. Though I guess his fiancé dying on him was probably the final straw, what convinced him to just… Close off, I guess.”
Soap’s face contorts in earnest empathy. “Ah shit, sorry,” he says. “Did ye know them well?”
Roach just stares at him. From the little he’s seen of him in the field, he’s extremely competent, smart and resourceful. He’s also apparently quite dumb. He’s lucky that’s exactly the kind of person Roach likes.
He sees the exact moment the realisation hits him, his pretty blue eyes going wide. “Oh, you’re the- okay, damn, sorry man.”
Roach chuckles. “You should have said ’that’s rough, buddy’. It’s been five years, I’ve accepted my fate. I’d just… Like for him to do the same.”
Soap hums. “It’s a complicated issue,” he whispers. “But I have to say, most ghosts that haunt their partners like it better when they haven’t moved on.”
“Why would I want that,” Roach frowns. “I want him to be happy. I want him to have friends. I want him to live his life.”
Soap smiles.
“I’ll have ye know I’m trying really hard to be his friend,” he says.
“Don’t take it personally when he treats you like an arsehole, it’s on purpose, to make you flee and allow him to keep wallowing in his misery.”
Soap nods. “Thanks for the tip.”
“… You really mean it? You really wanna be his friend?”
Roach finds out right now and then that Soap’s smile holds the power of the fucking sun.
“Yeah! He seems really cool and I love making friends.”
That’s a golden retriever in human form, Roach is sure of it now. A really pretty human form as well. Anyway-
“He’s also really hot under his mask.” Why did he say that?? Roach tries really hard not to facepalm. The man just met them, it doesn’t matter if he knows he’s Simon’s type (and his), he just wants to be friends, what is he doing… He doesn’t even know if he likes men! He can only blame that on the five years he spent without social interaction.
Not that he was that good at social interaction when he was alive, but that’s not the point.
Soap sputters for a few seconds, cheeks pinker. That’s… Interesting. Damn, he really has a one track mind sometimes…
“Hum, guid tae knaw,” Soap says finally, his accent thicker. Is he that flustered? Does that mean Simon has his chances?
If someone had told him years ago that he would be flirting with a co-worker, as a ghost, on behalf of his unaware still living fiancé, he’d have laughed probably.
the idea that your friends won’t like you if you’re too weird is wrong for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying “going insane all by yourself, handsome?” which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that’s friendship.

Huh! I believe I’ve accidentally found out what the whole deal with this new wave of porn bots is.
OK so! First of all, I’ve got an answer to the age-old question “Why are pornbot blogs blank now? Shouldn’t they at least attempt to try to look like actual people?” and the answer is:
They’re blank themselves because they target blogs with posts on them.
I’ve noticed this one recently because I’ve got blank blogs I only ever use the draft function to store stuff in and never actually post on them. These blogs have never had any bots following them! I’ve also got a blog where I have never made an original post in, only reblogged stuff to. This blog gets bots following it, even after months of inactivity. So the reason these latest waves of bots keep their blogs empty is so they won’t accidentally follow themselves on an endless loop.
With that in mind and given something I found out entirely by accident a little while ago, I also have an answer to the following question: “So how do they trick people, if they don’t have any porn on them that could lead to people clicking their links?” and the answer is:
They’re trying to trick you into following them. And since they don’t have anything to draw attention to them in their blogs, they’re very probably counting on you doing so by accident.
I found this out by accidentally following one of them with my main account after blocking it when it had followed me on this account. Exactly 25 minutes later, it sent me this very obviously bot-generated message:
So what they do is mass follow accounts and hope you’ll follow them by accident while looking them up or even trying to block them instead. Then they’ll send you their scam/malware link! Of course, the message is all kinds of suspicious but that’s a known trick by people who employ spam: they’re actively selecting the most tech unsavvy people by making their messages ring all sorts of alarm bells to people who know even a bit about how the internet works, so only people who wouldn’t even begin to know how to report them will fall for it.
As for what exactly this link they send will do… I’m not sure, but given what these kinds of malicious links usually do I’m betting it’s either regular malware, ransomware, adware, a crypto mining net trying to use your computer to mine bitcoin or your average old fashioned scam: they’ll make you sign up for some sketchy fake camgirl website and promise you nude pictures in exchange for your credit card information. Which they’ll never deliver.
So that’s it! As long as you don’t follow them back you shouldn’t have any problems with them, but even so the best tactic is to report them on sight so they’ll be deleted.

Ghost’s and Soap’s courting behaviour must’ve been a fucking trip to witness from an outside perspective. Like yeah they are flirting over comms without abandon, but in person it probably took them a while to get that comfortable (emotionally repressed as they both are in their own ways.) We get a glimpse during the Prison Break where Ghost is definitely showing off and Soap is absolutely smitten.
But it probably continues like that for a while. Ghost sniping, knifing, just continuously showing off extremely controlled violence to Soap’s praise. Stunned and flustered that he found someone he can impress with all the ways he knows to kill a person. Wipes his bloody knife with a stupid little grin on his face that almost hurts because he’s not used to it.
All the while he’s absolutely fawning over Soap’s demolition skills. Soap who will level a fucking building with nearly superhuman precision just to get Ghost to compliment him for it. Beaming like he just won a competition every time Simon has a nice word or two to spare for him, ash and dust still settling in the background.
Johnny who pushes himself in the gym when Simon is there: perfect form, keeping repetitions going only to nearly collapse on Gaz when Ghost leaves the room.
Ghost who gets extra gruff and showy in his authority over other soldiers when Soap is around, unconsciously wanting the other to know what a good CO he is. That he’s great at being a soldier all around. And who fucking smiles under the mask when Soap shoots him an adoring look.
It’s like two very confused and violent teenagers dancing around each other, both are intimated by their feelings for each other, but not enough to let it rest. Both desperately want to leave a good impression. Both too manly and gruff to do something about it at first, too afraid to be rejected to risk a confession.
The general sentiment on base once they get it sorted and finally get together is a huge “Thank fuck, took them long enough!” because it was getting annoying, but its not like anyone was about to call the fucking Ghost out on his antics. And while Soap might have been called out it certainly didn’t stop him from acting a fool the moment Simon Riley enters a room.
Now there’s some peace and quiet on base, we’ll mostly, unless you have to room next to either of them…

Really cute / sad thing ( mostly sad ), but..
Ghost has a ring. A ring in order to purpose to Soap. A ring he's owned for 1 year because here's the catch, he's scared that Soap isn't ready yet.
Back when he bought the ring, Ghost wasn't scared, in fact confident. They've been dating for (insert how many years you think) so what's the worse that could happen? Nothing, that's what he thought anyway.
As the ring sat comfortably in his pocket, he'd been thinking. Thinking about the fact that he didn't know if Soap was ready ( Which he was, both of them were ready to get married, it's just our bbg Ghost is an overthinker, at least I like to think so )
So just as he was going to do it, he didn't. He put it away and never took it out.
Years passed and every time he's thought about proposing, he doesn't.
He's ready too get married, he just doesn't know if Soap is, and he doesn't want it to ruin their relationship
Price has been trying too help him but the man just won't do it even he if he wants to. ( + Price understands were Ghost is coming from, so he's patient with him ).
" Just giving it a couple more months. " That's what he would say every time anybody has asked if he's gonna purpose.
( Though I'd share since well, I kinda like this one. Though this definitely could go either way for whoever is the scared one with the ring. Depends on the persons POV and opinions lol )
OHOHOH I LOVE THIS

Throughout the years, Simon Riley, the Ghost, has never admitted to being afraid. He faces whatever challenge that he meets head on and refuses to back down. But this was a challenge he wasn’t prepared to face: Proposing to the love of his life.

Soap texts Ghost the saluting 🫡 emoji all the time. The moment this emoji came into existence it’s in all of Johnny’s texts. Doesn’t matter the context.
Ghost: when’re you going to the gym tomorrow?
Soap: 18:30 sir 🫡
***
Ghost: what are the strongest days? Saturday and Sunday. The rest are just weekdays.
Soap: 🫡🫡🫡 not bad, lt
***
Ghost: stop fuckin’ saluting me over text
Soap: aye sir 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
100% started out as a joke but now Soap just uses the emoji as a reflex. He only does it to Ghost and it drives him insane. They could be in a group chat and Soap would reply normally to everyone else but Ghost gets that annoying ass emoji. It becomes worse because Soap starts to actually salute Ghost outside of text. No matter the situation, if they’re on duty or just hanging out as friends: Soap fucking salutes Ghost as a greeting. It’s driving Ghost insane every time he sees that stupid ass emoji. He’s becoming unreasonably angry about it but has been doing a decent job handling it.
Soap ends up going on a mission that lasts five months. He can only call people so Ghost doesn’t have to deal with the excessive saluting. They end up talking A LOT over those five months and grow so much closer. To the point Ghost is aching for him to come back so he can see him again. They end up confessing to each other and it makes Ghost want him to come back even more. He gets that call a week after the fifth month and he cannot contain his excitement. The plane lands and Soap gets off. His hair grew out and he was sporting a beard since he was unable to do grooming while out. Ghost’s heart soars at the sight and as Soap walks up to him.
He fucking salutes.
Ghost loses his shit and tries to strangle Soap, Price and Gaz having to pry him off of Soap who falls to the ground coughing.
Soap eventually stops the whole saluting thing and only actually salutes if the situation calls for it. But the damage is done and the mere sight of that emoji sends Ghost spiraling in a fit of rage.
