Alright, I'll bite: what's the intro starter pack for the Soap and the Skullman? You successfully have me intrigued.
I AM DELIGHTED YOU'VE ASKED
Skullman and Soap are from the game Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. It's a 2022 remake of a game that came out in 2009, and the remake has some notable improvements and provides an interesting perspective of how video games have changed in the last 14 years across the board; visuals, pacing, story, characters, challenges etc etc. All of which is cool but I'm here exclusively for the wall of beef being served.
Allow me to explain.
The single player story game includes 2+ hours of pristine cut scenes carrying the plot and character development, and any number of hours playing the game which includes banter and fps’ing. POV bounces between two teams having adventures and bein' sneaky all over the world. There’s also a Multiplayer mode but I know next to nothing about it so you’ve certainly come to the right place to learn some things. Youtube has a bunch of great Let’s Plays for the entire game, as well as videos of just all the cut scenes. Highly recommend, not least of all because I was blindsided by how wholesome it all turned out to be.
Simon "Ghost" Riley 👻 💀
Character with so much going on if anyone but a triple A studio pitched him they'd be told to calm down. Wildly op. Incredible passive intimidation score. Somehow internationally feared stealth agent despite Looking Like That. Aesthetic as fuck. Ranked Lieutenant if you can tell the different breeds of officer apart. HEIGHT. Manchester accent. Tragic backstory. The mask is a whole other post and I’m not normal about it. Despite going into it like a cat being forced into a bath, he is one half of the Grumpy One Soft for the Sunshine One trope that causes me physical agonies. (Secret third thing! Poor Little Meow Meow candidate.)
Johnny "Soap" MacTavish 🧼
You know how sometimes when a zoo or sanctuary has a cheetah or something that’s super anxious they’ll give them a chill, reliable, confident, protective dog friend? Yeah, anyway Soap is assigned to Ghost in the beginning of the game. SCOTTISH. Mohawk. Wears jeans throughout most of the game despite being continually dunked in cold water. Everyone wants to work with him so he kept being reassigned and always had to make new friends. Other half of the Grumpy One Soft for the Sunshine One trope, but Soap was an immediate, I mean immediate, adopter of his part. (Bonus! Pinnacle of AW little guy!!! Oh he’s a little bit fucked up actually..)
Kyle “Gaz” Garrick
Carries this team on his fuckin’ wings. Good at everything. Set all the records when he was in training and no one’s touched them. Eldest sibling energy someone give him a break. If a situation could kill a normal human, Gaz might be mildly discommoded.
John Price
Captain of Team 141, which Ghost, Soap, and Gaz are a part of. Keeps finding and adopting wildly competent soldiers/rebels/mercenaries as allies all over the world who would very literally die for him and they’re not wrong. Very protective of his kids allies. Could attack an army with a soggy corn chip and win. Team Dad.
Alejandro Vargas
Managing with grace and panache despite his job apparently requiring him to fight everyone within a 200km radius. A colonel in the Mexican special forces. Stressed, but make it hot. Gets to prep for disaster like the world is ending but unlike most preppers seems to be having a blast and it all comes in handy. Loves his team do NOT separate them. Does attack an army with a soggy corn chip and win.
Rodolfo “Rudy” Parra
The only man on earth capable of being Alejandro’s second in command and exceed expectations. Incredibly good at everything. Much too well behaved and well mannered for this. Not high enough ranked to decide on problems, not low enough ranked for them to not be his problems. Someone help him.
Phillip Graves
Commander of Shadow Company, a private military thing. Gets to live, laugh, love being a mercenary with a massive fucking armory and zero restrictions. Suspect he has the keys to his tiny southern USA hometown and his parents are embarrassingly proud of him. Energy of a Jack Russel Terrier in a world of squirrels.
How much more space do I have? There’s a lot more ground to cover. I’m missing way too many characters.
Farah Ahmed Karim
Leader of the Urzikistan Liberation Force and a human shaped meteor. Price asks her for help and before he can hang up she kick slides in on a dirt bike with a machine gun and a squadron of fighters behind her. Coolest person in any room. Lots of stuff on her plate but seems really organized about it.
Kate “Watcher” Lazwell
Their CIA connection. Buddies with Price like everyone else except she’s the wine aunt to Price’s Team dad. Has killed people with her bare hands and will kill again. Is married and adores her wife. Cares SO MUCH but manages to not be burned out by constant bullshit.
Ok so now we’re into the boys from the multiplayer part of the game and listen there are crumbs of canon content and a cake of fanon content.
König
The man is 6′10″ tall and built better than most F150s. Wears the hood over his face because being taller than every standard doorway in Europe while dealing with heavy anxiety could be easier. Found confidence and comfort in getting really good at murder. Will go a little berserk, as a treat. Wanted to be a sniper but does not have the patience. ADHD icon. Fanon knows in their heart he can be categorized as a sopping wet man who needs a forehead kiss and a grilled cheese cut diagonal.
Kim "Horangi" Hong-jin 🐯
Joined the military to escape gambling debts then found out he’s actually really good at being in the military. Knows about pop culture phenomena first, cool about it when you finally catch on. Fighting unspecified inner demons. No one knows why he wears a mask but fanon assumes he has delicious scars.
(Bonus! His actor, Nick Martineau, is a menace!)
So there’s a lot more but, listen, look at me, ok? Look at me. I am holding your face in my cupped hands. I am looking into your eyes. I am speaking so earnestly. Listen, I am so not normal about this ok? Please message me if you want to know anything else. I will be so stoked.
Genuinely, it was really fun to watch a bunch of lets plays and find it went from surprisingly good to actually good to oh I’m INVESTED invested in this. Replay/rewatch value is high, and there’s plenty of neat things that work well, good fridge horror, and a lot of the game runs on the characters just really liking each other. A central pillar of the story line is that Ghost makes a friend =) and that saves the day. Which is nice. There’s plenty more in the game to talk about but this is just what I’m taking away to share for now.
Ok thanks for asking, I hope some of this was helpful!

I've had your ao3 tabbed open on my phone for like WEEKS determined to go back through & comment on things, but god if I don't drag my stupid feet. SO in the event I never manage to get around to being more specific, I figured I'd throw in a blanket statement of: your writing is delightfully engaging D: It feels really well thought out & I love how you write Dream, Hob, & their dynamic.
This is so sweet, thank you! Finding this fandom has been one of the most happy accidents. I was looking at my AO3 today and realized I’m about 5k shy of having written one hundred thousand words in four months??? Complete craziness (for me) after years of writing nothing. Messages like this definitely inspire me to hit that 100k sooner rather than later, so thank you again. <3

@kitsune2022 replied to your post “He'd kept himself in check before they'd entered...”:
I kind of adore that you're replaying the moments in screenshots??
it's mostly a coincidence that my tactician replay of Tavlen's game aligned so well with the fic. but yes, the fic is based on the first game I played as him, and now the replay of that game is based on both :)

Don't You Look Good In Red
TITLE: Don't You Look Good In Red
RATING: Mature
WORD COUNT: 80K
SUMMARY:
Hob Gadling is a broken man.
He’s been a broken man since the head of an up-and-coming mob family murdered his wife in cold blood and left him for dead. For the last five years, he’s been away from the city, training and planning to bring that man’s empire down piece by piece. Hoping to do whatever it takes to allow his wife to finally rest in peace.
But when he meets a shy, sweet, and fascinating man at the local pub, he begins to re-evaluate his thirst for vengeance.
Maybe he can go back to who he used to be.
Maybe he can allow love back into his life.
Maybe he can find a way to be whole again.
Or die trying.
Special thank you to my INCREDIBLE artist, @kitsune2022-artish for creating the BEAUTIFUL artwork you see linked below. They have perfectly captured the vibes of the fic within their suspense-filled movie poster creation. It was an honour working with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Here is the link to their AMAZING ART!!
More notes and thank yous tagged below!
NOTES: After changing my idea right as signups closed and then writing 80k words in like 3 months, I am excited to FINALLY share my fic for @the-centennial-husbands-bigbang.
I am SO proud of this fic. It's been one of my favourite fics to write, and I hope you all enjoy it. For the friends in the Sadman server who were all screaming about "Reacher", you guys do not know how difficult it was for me to keep my mouth shut as you were all begging for more Badass Hob, more Fighter Hob, more Snarky Fucker Hob.
I hope this fic scratches that itch for you.
All the thanks and love for the Mods involved with CHBB! You guys have all worked your butts off to make sure this event ran as smoothly as possible. You were all so supportive and kind and encouraging. Thank you to my assigned Mod, @spockandthings for being so kind and reassuring and willing to lend a helping hand.
Thank you to my amazing Alpha-readers, @ginjones and @purplesauris, as well as my Beta-reader, @garnetcapricorn.
Finally, thank you to my friends over at The Sadman server, for all of your love and support and for welcoming me into the community. Thank you to the Shaxberd Sprint group for fighting against lack of motivation and stress with me. We did it, friends!!
The title of this fic, as well as the titles of the chapters were taken from the lyrics of the song Good in Red by The Midnight. I HIGHLY suggest looking them up on Spotify, because they are amazing!

new url
I've had the old kitsune2022 name since high school, and while I don't have anything in particular against it, the number was never meant to signify a year. But alas, the closer the year 2022 got, the more cringe I felt about it. The kicker was when someone online asked if that was the year I graduated and nothing made me feel more like I was back in middle school than that.
Since then I've ditched the name basically everywhere else, tumblr was the only hold out. I know somewhere out there in the wilderness, there's some old sassy zenyatta nonsense that people have actually sourced and I didn't want those links to go nowhere. But it's fine, I set up a place holder redirect.
Anyway, there we go, all new and refreshed ✨

Round Up 4
With the 4th week of posting coming to a close, have another round up before we'll be starting into the final week tomorrow!
Title: where dreams dwell not
Writer: jamais_vu0
Artist: foxish (@kitsune2022-artish)
Rating: Teen
Warnings: canon-typical violence, temporary character death
Word Count: 89,523
Pairing/main characters: Hob Gadling, Dream of the Endless, Hob/Dream
Additional tags: fairy tale AU, Hob saves Dream from the fishbowl, slow burn
Summary:
Hob Gadling is wasting away, aching for adventure and the chance to live life as it's meant to be lived. When he receives a mysterious letter promising all the adventure he could want in exchange for a year of his company, he takes the offer and finds himself in a lonely castle in a land of magic, a strange figure haunting his dreams. And when Hob himself breaks the one rule he's been given days before the year is complete, he finds himself embarking on the adventure he's always wanted, in order to save his Dream from a fate worse than death.

Title: Love at Third Sight
Writer: Gfawkes / LLflorence (@llflorence)
Artist: @hpurlnovi
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Word Count: 20,455
Pairing/main characters: Dream of the Endless | Morpheus/Hob Gadling
Up to 10 Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - No Powers, Alternate Universe - Rock Band, Top Dream of the Endless | Morpheus, Bottom Hob Gadling, Explicit Sexual Content, Identity Reveal, Mutual Pining, Romance, Light Angst, Emotional Sex
Summary:
Hob is dyslexic, and music notes are just like letters. B’s and d’s and p’s and q’s all look the same, as do all those little bastard tadpoles on the musical staff. So he does it a little differently, with a little humor and a lot of close-ups of his hairy fingers. And for some reason, it’s a hit in more ways than one. As Robyn begins to tune his instrument, Hob cases the room for his stranger. It’s the third time the handsome man has been to one of their gigs. There’s something familiar about him, something Hob can’t quite put his finger on. But the fact that he’s made eye contact for the third time is extremely intriguing. Johanna, of course, notices. “You’re looking for him again, aren’t you.”

Art Blog
Hello! So I’ve gotten a couple people following me back here during all this twitter migration nonsense (thank you for that btw) so I thought I’d clarify: Being that this is my “main” blog, the one I started with, all my tumblr followings/askings default to being from here.
HOWEVER
If you’re looking for my ART, it’s at https://kitsune2022-artish.tumblr.com/
#past me had no foresight#this blog here is mostly just reblogs of nice things#might use it for personal nonsense in the future if twitter does implode

@kitsune2022 replied to your post “this scene in Detroit: Become Human was just as...”:
Love putting Connor in a crisis of identity ✨ Tho this guy's existence +RA9 or whatever it was always bugged me. He's set up to be all ominous, it's mentioned that he personally gifted Marcus to the artist, Amanda was his teacher, surely he either knew deviants would happen or maybe even planned for it. But then he never shows up again, he's only good for pushing Connor. Which is great for the inner conflict n such, but man you had something there, and you didn't use it
Kamski really felt like they were planning to do something more with him (and Amanda) and decided to cut it for one reason or another, and I can't believe they just dropped the rA9 subplot halfway like it never existed. considering the sheer number of plot holes (how did Simon get out of Stratford Tower???) maybe I shouldn't be surprised

Boy gonna get cramps like that
For sure! If only there was some kind of technique to massage away cramps in conjunction with slowly doing away with touch aversion...
But who would he trust like that?
