#min talks

i'll be out of town for the next week because i'm flying out to chicago to see boynextdoor at lollapalooza !! this is super exciting for me but i fear i won't have the time or energy to write ( i'll also be without my laptop ) :< i'm so so sorry but i promise to get back on the grind as soon as i get back !

It's his habit of appearing out of nowhere at the most convenient time. Poof! and there he goes. With his silly moves, his condescending smile, his springy gait. He is a cartoon villian.

He runs solely on his obsession with making the world a better, ordely place by whatever means necessary. His work can never be finished, no matter how much he does. He is Sisyphus.

He makes half the department love him and the other half scared of him. He is a Machiavellian Prince.

He throws his coffee on the ground in a glimpse of tantrum when things don't go according to his vision. He is human.

oh dear. The one, the one of these that's dearest to my heart. Okay. Well, we're given so little about Soap. He has a cousin. That's it. So that cousin is now mine, I named him Robbie, he's adorable.

Well, mine, in that I coparent this entire mess of a soldier with @piranhaincaps who is absolutely responsible for at least half of all the headcanons surrounding him. And of course, in order to write Soap's cousin we had to roll it allll the way back to pre-enlistment Soap. So we looked at dates, ages, likely ages of peers and acknowledging that the 141 are likely more exceptional/promoted a bit earlier/faster than most. So we're in 2007? But I suspect most people would click for Johnny, not so much my OC, so. Little bit of baby Soap below the cut:

Note: Johnny is a foster kid who stumbled into finding a family who cares for him. This snip is the very beginning of that trust. Johnny's safe, but there's big feelings involved so he's gonna cry a little about it.

I’ve seen some other blogs do this and there are some people I know who are definitely deserving of such a title! Whether I’ve gotten to grow closer with you over this past month or we have yet to get to know each other better, your support and kindness has gone further than you can imagine and you’ve made me feel so welcome! If you’re not included on this list because we haven’t had a chance to connect, my dms are always open and I’d love to be friends!!

i have so many thoughts,, i can't even put them into words!! all i have to say is that if the first read is the introduction, the opening to the world of orv and the exploration of the story, then the second read is the details that tie it all together and the glass that shows things you never noticed the first time. like a reflection of something you thought you knew, but in reality its still a mystery to be solved.

i can't stop thinking about how much love there is in orv. it all feels so familiar and personal that i forget it's something so rare and akin to a miracle that kimcom all found their way to each other.

reading it again brought so much more understanding to the choices and dialogue they all made, and the ending continues to make more sense as something left up to the imagination of the readers to imagine their happiness as a goal.
