Soap:"sometimes I have a moment of clarity and think "holy shit a guy I kissed behind a dumpster gunned me down. What the fuck." And I don't like that."

Therapist:"maybe we should talk more about that."

Soap:"what? No? I'm here for you to hypnotize me or something."

Graves with Soap bent over in front of the Lieutenant who's tied to a chair. Graves' hand is firmly shoving Johnny's head straight down onto Ghost's dick. he forces Simon's cock into Johnny's mouth, and Graves watches Simon's glaring sneer lose its composure when his dick hardens inside his Sergeant's mouth ♡

now the ask thingy

what's your thoughts on SoapGraves

if you could ship Rudy with anyone from BG3, who would it be?

hugs, kisses, banana and more hugs for u :3c *bap*

OH MY GOD IT'S KITTY VED'MA she's gonna purr so obviously and loudly for Raven. With her silly tail... I love them so much 😭 the little mlem 😭

My thoughts on SoapGraves are - can I be the filling for this sandwich? As in, can I fill them both with my-

That aside though, I actually think it's really nice if we ignore the betrayal :/ cuz as much as I am a Graves Fixer, I don't know if the relationship there can be repaired to the point of romance. Well, maybe, idk, if we assume that Graves regrets his actions and is just a lost soul (the only Graves I accept, thank you, I repeat, I don't like bad guys, I like good guys and I will make up a story to make a bad guy good even if it's shallow and OOC. My little tent, my rules).

But that's some severe hurt/comfort or even angst territory. If we roll back tho, before it all, I think Graves and Soap are actually happy together. They get along easily, they're both friendly and charismatic, open for new people. I bet Graves, being not just older, but also a Commander who has personal relationships with his subordinates and cares for them (we're going with Good Guy Graves here, remember?), has this instinct to take over Soap. After all, he's initially there basically to save Soap's ass and keep it safe further down the line, it puts him into a role of protector (a role that Graves always craves imo, I will die on the hill that he was sold on the idea of military as protectors of weak in his youth and it all went downhill from there, but he still longs to be a hero deep down). But at the same time, Soap is more than capable of protecting himself, so it lifts off all the pressure and imbalance and leaves them just as being there to support each other and mean well for each other.

Moreover, they're both very tactile, and I am a firm believer that it plays a big role in pulling them closer. Shoulder pats, handshakes, the Manly Hugs and hair ruffles can turn so easily into arms thrown around each other's shoulders and falling asleep next to each other, and it leads to a hand on another's thigh, maybe it's sexual first and thus feels more forgiving to them; but oh no, it all started not with sexual attraction, it started with them being drawn to each other's personalities. Soap is still believing the Noble Military tales, Graves has long gone past it, disappointed and abandoned, but oh he wants to believe in these tales. They're cooked. They'll realize they're in love too late, and it's probably gonna be Graves who gets hit by the realization first, pulling away from a kiss with a thread of saliva stretching between their lips and staring at Soap with wide eyes, watching him pant, flushed and riled up, as they jerk each other off or something. Soap will confess first though, because he's fearless and impulsive.

I think they admire each other's skills and capabilities; I think they find each other very attractive; I think they honestly might find some unexpected points of connection being both kinda country boys. Reminiscing of playing with lambs when they were little or something. I think Graves gets off on teasing and riling Soap up and Soap isn't afraid to let it out on Graves. I think Graves loves how Soap says his name and always has another song about someone names Johnny to purr in Soap's ear.

I think they get stupidly competitive and then horny in the gym; and I also think Graves loves having mountain vacations with Johnny, snowboard and everything. I think Johnny notices they have very similar smile lines around their eyes and gets attached to this fact, and I think he draws Graves a lot - and Graves loves taking pictures of Johnny and sepatately - of their hands clasped together.

I think they manage long distance relationship pretty well, too, even if Johnny has the ADHD thing where he doesn't even realize how much time passed between their texts. I think Graves loves videochats and is ready to sacrifice his sleep due to time zones to talk to Johnny. I think Johnny doesn't think twice to get up and catch a plane to go visit.

Damn I yapped. But yeah, I think the betrayal would hit really hard and Graves would have to prove himself again really hard. But without it? They are really well together.

About Rudy in bg3 though, hmmmm. I think Astarion would be very attracted to him; I'm not sure if Rudy has some kind of power to entice Astarion to go after him at first, but I think he would charm Astarion and be a little unattainable for him to want to chase. And Rudy definitely would balance out Astarion's drama, playing into it when he's in the mood and calming it down when he's not. He's also just chill and reliable and he would make Astarion feel safe. I think also Rudy having a near death experience in a fire can build some weird unexpected bridge between them. Rudy himself would probably see through Astarion's flirty front rather quickly and he'll fall in love with the imperfect hurt elf underneath it because he knows there is nothing perfect and a clumsy vampire fumbling his first real connection in decades is actually as close to perfection as it can be.

Similarly, I think more or less same traits would also attract Shadowheart and go well with her. Rudy is a bit enigmatic, but charming; he can be romantic and sincere, but won't waver when she's going through hard emotional time so she'll have him to lean on. Rudy also feels really clear headed and rational to me, so with Shadowheart's brains being all kinds of messed up he would pull her out if it. I also have a weird thought that Rudy really has it out for cults so he'll be protecting her very fiercely when it comes to all that in the story. Also I'm sorry but I think Rudy just likes an emo/goth slightly dramatic babe with a few loose screws in the head.

Wyll would probably have a lil' bit of a crush on Rudy just because Rudy makes a really book romance like character. Karlach might be a little too high energy for him, but then again, her being a creature of fire lends to some beautiful metaphors and a very special dynamic. Gale might be intimidated by him >< Lae'zel might think he's too soft because he is preferring to keep it low and working on tactics more than on brute force, but I bet she'd fall for him after a good sparring. Halsin loves everyone, and I actually think that him and Rudy might have the most chill, normal and amazing romance ever. They just acknowledge the attraction, act on it, never get into drama, live happily ever after with ducks following them everywhere because Rudy accidentally got a whole batch of eggs imprinted on himself and Halsin thinks it's adorable.

I will also do an honorable mention and say he would hit it off with Zevlor. And I do think Rudy is freaky enough and has enough of a taste for messed up things to be drawn to Kar'niss, and he might actually be able to give some peace to that poor baby boy.

I'M SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE SHORT THOUGHTS I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH

[fullmettleheart]

a concerning amount of you are not on soapgraves and it saddens me. I love soapgraves. I love them. pls guys. they kiss........... pls.

headcanons below the cut. cringe and possibly ooc warning but who even friggin cares

graves is clingy and touch starved (have you seen how much he's made physical contact with people. especially his shadows. he's a big physical touch language guy)

soap loves words of affirmation and verbal affection guy. always saying an 'I love you' looking into graves' eyes. kissing graves' scarred knuckles and telling him how beautiful he is. he loves physical touch too, just not as much as graves haha

graves likes staying inside. he likes cooking together, movie marathons, binging tv shows, cuddling in bed late at night and telling each other their deepest secrets. loves looking into soap's eyes and finding the other half of his soul there yk?

soap is a planning out cute or romantic dates kind of guy. he plans out cute picnics or roller skating dates but sometimes he just wants to go out to a nice fancy restaurant to treat the both of them...

graves loving passionately and almost desperately, as if he's afraid to let go, out of fear he'll wake up with nothing to hold again. johnny'll wake up in the middle of the night to go grab a snacky and graves is following behind quietly standing in the doorframe wether Johnny notices or not. (and when he doesn't and turns to return and sees graves standing there looking like he's about to tell him he threw up is funny but it also freaks him out. how is he so quiet??)

soap loves gently and slowly. less desperate but just as afraid to let go out of that fear. people talk about soap being a family guy and having a huge family to return to in the au's where he survives but I'm a firm believer in familyless soap. why else would 141 scatter his ashes, rather than at least send some back to his family and scatter their half? why else would he try so desperately as a teen to join the military? soap is a man with nothing to lose and everything to gain. or, at least, he was. Now that he has graves, he has something to lose, and that scares him, just a bit. he could love him wildly and desperately out of that fear, but I think Johnny chooses to savor having him rather than desperately pull him impossibly closer.

that's my yap for now. hit the follow button for more
