i believe in ghost with greasy hair bc let's be serious, a mentally ill man that doesn't show his face is either buzz-cut or greasy or both because if nobody sees that his hair is greasy why bother ? simon ghost "not dirty until it's itchy and/or annoying" riley

established poly 141 this established poly 141 that how do they get together ?

i feel at least like there’s an established price/simon when both gaz and soap r brought in, but on the down-low, not defined in words between them and definitely not outwardly, but they’re secure, in silent communication if you will

what price and ghost have isn’t really a Relationship, because well ghost is ghost and he doesn’t do that emotional shit (or he does, with price, but that’s different and also huge just bc well . id zero is the standard then any deviation feels big) and then gaz come along and he and price click and they r emotionally all in in a very different way than ghost but hey! price still has time for ! they’re still fucking ! ghost doesn’t really complain or care what gaz and price do and he doesn’t really get it except that it’s hot on a surface level bc the crack in his skin that price got himself through has long been closed

and then soap comes along ! and hey why does it look like his captain and co-sergeant are fucking ? anyways i dont Quite know the reboot tl so take it with a grain of salt whether or not soap or gaz arrive first but however it goes soap cracks ghost’s walls against commitment and it all kind of tumbles away from there

soap and ghost napping on ghost together …

does it start accidentally ? for sure! we’ve got a mission finished, job well done, helicopter is packed, and soap is snoozing away on ghost’s shoulder to everybody’s varying degrees of shock and confusion (and price who’s being cryptic again)

ghost won’t sleep because he doesn’t sleep just like that, so he gets to sit stock still and glare for two hours but it’s fine really, soap doesn’t snore and he drools just a bit !

even as soap gets snugglier and ghost gets softer, as their relationship with each other progresses, it never happens the other way around. ghost never falls asleep with soap anywhere but in his own room, and even then soap never sees him asleep, not even once. it feels a little silly at first to worry about, but as time goes on and soap Still hasn’t seen ghost asleep, he starts to ask himself if ghost really trusts him

is he stupid to give ghost his heart to keep when it seems like it’s a one-way trust? has there really been any progress made when ghost doesn’t even trust him? for soap, sleeping with his back to somebody is about trust, and ghost won’t return that trust?

it’s not that ghost Won’t return the trust, it’s that he Can’t.. he Cannot get his hindbrain to stop churning paranoia into butter, he can barely sleep alone with price and he tells soap so, tells him that he might never be able to do that

anyways when it finally does happen soap wants to cry and also the floodgates open bc after the one exfil gjost sleeping on/octopused to/close to soap becomes a regular occurrence when on missions (and on base but that’s nobody’s business)

hi ur tags are so good !!!!!!! the tags ab soap watching his demolitions ?/?:? yeag hauve covid too etc i love the idea that he gets so focused it ends up monstrous and ghost is just wired like That so it doesnt Bother him exactky And also what’s ur fav headcanon if u have one ?

You gotta be more than a little fucked to be a storyline playable character for this series imo. The logical conclusion of accounting for all playstyles sorta deal, which is Very Fun to apply to fics.

As for headcanons: most of my more mild ones have been fully explored in one way or another by fic authors and meta posters.

My biggest reasonable one is that Soap is a mask for John Mactavish. While the persona hasn't always been referred to as "Soap" (maybe "Tav" by schoolmates and fellow recruits, "JJ" by family), John has had some version of it since grade school.

Something something, being smart and trying really hard wasn't enough to make people like him or get the attention he lacked. But being outgoing and friendly and ballsy, that's what works. Even the people who complain about him being loud still at least hear him. John figured out how pack bonding works, essentially, and manually calibrated a persona with the intention of using it.

It wasn't even "acting out to get attention", it was a deliberate set of rules he figured out and applied to himself. It's a whole separate skillset he taught himself.

This is not a bad thing. It did wonders for his emotional development and confidence.

This is all to say that Sgt. Mactavish was wearing a mask when he met Ghost. It's why the only time he jokes about Ghost taking it off, his phrasing is laced with silly innuendo and they're separated by what still felt like an insurmountable physical distance.

In some ways, he's always testing to see who gets to see Johnny rather than Soap or Sgt. Mactavish.

soap that is just on a hair trigger constantly like barracks bunny but literally as in constantly a Little turned on, jerks off thrice a day i need him to get walked in on and used … since he’s so insatiable anyways … some people have a morning wank, ghost has a morning fucks soap and moves onto his duties and soap is just . he’s having his morning need met he’s not complaining except after a while he wants More than earth shattering sex - he wants kisses and maybe to hold hands Fuck !!

[ciifra]

considering these cod guys r guys in the military, the lack of dirty hairy messy sex is devastating

[snootlestheangel]

Soap strikes me as the type of person to roughly kiss the nearest person when he's super excited about something.

Like a super successful explosion that everyone doubted would work? He's grabbing Gaz and planting a big kiss on his cheek cause he's just! So excited!

And he's usually just kissing the part of the person's head that's closest. One time he did this when Price had his back to him and just aggressively kissed the back of Price's head.

The first time he does it to Ghost, the poor man just breaks. He's standing there for like a solid ten minutes, even well after Soap walks away.

Soap is also unaware of the affect this has on people Ghost.
