second, if i could get 12 + 14 for the ask game with soap pls <3 (or any character you want)

sending hugs 🫂

glossy!! thank you thank you, you're the best askdjfha

Soap + character ask game 12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

that Soap is an absolute beast of a soldier by all normal metrics. 

we just forget about it because he tends to stand next to Ghost and Price, who are super physically imposing. like he does come off as more easygoing compared to the rest of the 141. he gets along with them. they've proved themselves worthy of his respect! but outside of his team, he's scary as hell. dude's fucking stacked; he's super fast; he's hot-tempered and he will disregard orders under certain circumstances. if Price hadn't hand-picked him to basically carve him into what he is, where would Soap have directed all that focus and intellect and energy? we already know he decked a senior officer in his earlier military days.

idk. i just think most military personnel outside of 141 look at Soap and steer clear.

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

maybe like... starboy grunge. but sporty vibe when he's feeling casual.

no pressure at all to answer or continue this, i just wanted to spread love your way. i’m grateful for you 🥹🫂

GLOSSYYYYY i'm so glad to be back!!! i return your hugs with an added smooch on the forehead

Fruit Fic Ask Game!

Hi Glossy! I think you helped me get all the fruits on that meme. 😊

🍏 Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?

I answered that one here. So instead, I'll sub in 🍋. 😉

🍋 What’s your favorite spicier trope to write?

I love writing D/s dynamics. Things with process and routines and deference and implicit obedience. I love writing a top that asks for autonomous control from the bottom where the bottom has to ask for things from the top. I love writing kink, in all sorts of forms - nonsexual and sexual.

🥝 What’s your favorite trope/AO3 tag to write?

Ooh, hm. I had to think on this a minute. I like subverting expectations. I like taking tropes and turning them on their head. I like characterizations that go deeper than the surface and they reveal how human the characters are. I don’t know what that tag is, tbh. 😅 (I’m also blanking on tags I’d use on my pieces, so…uh, have that I guess.) 😂

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.

I answered this one here first, but I have more to share!

Price comes from a family of veterans. He’s a legacy soldier, determined to prove himself in comparison to his extended family.

Johnny will always have some sibling, it just depends on what’s useful to the story. Gender and age varies, but he has at least one family member he vibes with a lot.

Gaz sometimes has a twin (identical/fraternal/paternal varies), or at least one sibling. Someone in the immediate Garrick family is not straight.

Hiiii Glossy!! Thanks for asking!

I've answered 🍇🍓so I'll sub em out

🍏 Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?

I'm soooo guilty of using like, He frowned. "Dialogue." or She scoffed. "Dialogue." I just like the snappiness of the two word tonal indicator. Also things like He wanted to wake up with her, wanted her to sit in his lap, wanted to kiss her, take her out, take her home. He just wanted her. Lists compounded with a summation sentence. I just know I do that a lot.

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.

Ghost!!! I love that weird guy. First off, I headcanon that he has just abysmal style. Swagless Simon every day of the week. I also like to write him as a guy who is like, actively working on himself. I think when you get nightmares and violent compulsions you have to. Also I think he's a total romantic. And great with animals. He's the guy who you'll find in another room petting your cat at the party.

🫐 What’s your favorite underrated thing in your fandom? (A ship that only you seem to write for, a character there’s almost no fics about, a trope that criminally hasn’t been written yet, etc.)

I'm definitely not the only one who writes it (I've barely written it honestly, I usually have at least a third party involved if not full Poly141+) but I love Price/Ghost. I want those middle aged men to make out, stat. It's the dog/handler dynamics. It's that Price helps keep Ghost grounded. It's the deep mutual respect. It's the kink of it all.

ily ily ily ilyyyyy

WHEW LORD still one of my absolute favs <33

Fruit Fic Ask Game!

🍉 Do you prefer to write short fics or long fics? Multichaptered works or single ones? Why?

Glossy, go look at my WIP masterlists and tell me what you think it is. 😝 Long, multi-chaptered beasties are where I thrive. I get to create a whole world and mold it to what I want it to be. I get to get into character's heads and establish dynamics, set stages and dominos up and then watch it all cascade beautifully together at the end. (Hopefully.) With short works, I struggle because I want to do that worldbuilding, that relationship development. I'm not fantastic at snapshots because there's so much outside that's left to the imagination. (Not awful, just frustrating to me lol.)

🍓 What’s a fic you’ve written you feel is underrated?

I only have the one completed fic right now - The Price of Pegging. But I'm wicked proud of it.

🍒 What’s your favorite character dynamic to write? (Can be romantic or platonic, specific or general!)
