This drabble was born thanks to this post by @mylarena and @ram-to-the-ham, as well as my brain not understanding what a writing break means. Posted here on ao3 if that’s your preferred site to read.
Hope you enjoy!

Soap was nearing his limit.
He could feel it approaching the longer the debrief was taking. An amassing hot pressure in his chest, that was steadily rising, demanding more and more of his focus just to keep it back. Every moment, every word, was begging it for him to release, for him to spill it forth to inflict on the world around him. To finally get rid of the awful energy that climbed through his body, that flickered in every one of his nerves.
A fuse, so close to being lit. One spark, one flicker of flame, all that would be needed. Just one, and an explosion would follow.
Soap bit his tongue, hard, to continue in keeping it in. Professionalism and his own training demanding him to keep quiet, to deal with it. To suppress and defuse.
He knew he was feeling this wound up, this agitated, because of his own problems. Not those of the rest of the 141, not of the three men surrounding him. They shouldn’t bear the brunt of it.
A visit later to the gym, to bruise his knuckles on punching bags until all he could feel was the pain, was definitely in order. Or a run far away from everyone else so he could explode in peace. Alone. Without dragging anyone else into his messy state.
And all of this just because he had fucked up the mission.
Is it okay if I ask what brushes you use for your art? The lineart is very dynamic and smooth and i like the texture in your coloring
Thanks! I draw in Procreate and heavily favour Georg’s Blank Outliner, which I downloaded as part of Georg’s Procreate Megapack. It’s got a really nice fade on the taper, which I like. I also use it for fills and shading. Sometimes I’ll run a Grunge texture brush over things if I want to make them look old or dirty, and I also use that as a smudge brush. I’m… not actually very good at brushes; I learn just enough to get roughly the effect I want, but I’m probably abusing the tools terribly. Thank you for asking though!
I have no idea if this is funny outside of my head but I’ve been talking about this exact scene for two years now and decided to scribble it now that I’m sick and everything seems like a great idea.
Ultra Magnus: Drift, i apologize but i had a couple of those treats you left on the counter because i was late and didn’t had breakfast, i promise i will repay you tomorrow.
