hi friends! so, another life update. work has been gradually getting better, we're not out of the woods yet but i think ive made huge steps in how i personally deal with my stress and now to navigate my work/life balance in a healthy way. thank you all for being so patient. in tumblr-rpc news, ive made a blog for my ww2 pilot @flypug and i've rebooted my old eames from inception on @semae! if either muses appeal to you, you're more than welcome to follow me over there! this doesn't mean i wont be here, but i am also not rly promoting either of the blogs so i thought i'd sound off where you can find me aldskjhg

i've been having some thoughts about kyle re: romantic relationships and the fact that i do not think he would pursue something romantic with someone, especially after joining the 141. i think people are fooled by how approachable he is; how quickly he endears himself to people and how easy it is to get along with him. his personality is definitively not the issue, but he isn't just some boy next door. the life he leads is fully committed to his work, work that whisks him away for months at a time and could potentially get him killed at any moment. when he decides to stay with the 141 he goes all in, and no part of his life is unaffected. being involved with him would encompass so much concern and heartache, i do not think he would willingly do that to someone, regardless of how he feels.

hi blog, sorry for my continued absence. things went from bad to worse at work with a coworker having to go on sick leave for burn-out and another quitting entirely. we're all scrambling to stay afloat until the end of term, but it is taking a toll. i'm really hoping to be here more, i know i need the creative outlet and that it makes me feel better to be here, but at the minute i barely have the energy to take care of my physical needs after i get back from work in the afternoons. i hope you're all well, or that things are moving in the right direction if you aren't. thank you for your patience with me, take care and here's to hoping i'll at least be around on the dash more in march.

@susponte : let me handle it ,  just go ! / meme.
Tumblr media
" and let you have all the fun? — no dice. " bursting gunfire reverberates through the hangar, the sound of metal colliding with metal as bullets lodge themselves into the containers that the two of them have found cover behind. they've done what they needed to do here, now all that's left is perhaps the greatest achievement each time it is done - getting out in one piece. " exfil is on the way, but the only way out is through. "
with that, he digs into the pouch at the side of his tac-vest. " i've got one flash grenade left, " it should be bad news, but in his world there are only obstacles to overcome or be overcome by, and one flash grenade is still one more than none. they could wreak plenty of havoc with less. " let's make it count, yeah? "

@0azrae7 : finding shelter from a storm / meme.
Tumblr media
dark clouds have descended upon the sloping mountainside, a harsh wind whipping across the expanse of trees and rocks, snow cascading down without mercy in a relentless assault on the mountain and all on it. gaz trudges through rapidly decreasing visibility with singular determination, body hunched in and folded over as to protect himself from the storm beating down all around. what had been in their favor while infiltrating the airbase had quickly become their largest adversary when it came to getting out of it, and with their exfil vehicle destroyed, it is now what's keeping them from getting off the mountain altogether.
the whiteout of the storm closes in, and it's just as the visibility drops even further that he sees the flash of a familiar shape among the trees. " lieutenant! " he calls above the howl of the wind as he comes upon where ghost has dug in, kneeling and turning his shoulder against the storm's barrage. " that's a negative on exfil, sir. the car has been destroyed ⸺ suppose konni wants us to stick around for a rematch. " he says with a wry twist of the mouth, shrugging his pack into the space between them before settling with his back against the makeshift wind blocker, relief flooding his chest in time with the breath he can finally allow himself to catch.
" i grabbed what i could from the wreckage, but i reckon we're going to have to get comfortable until this clears. " the 'clears enough for nikolai to get through' is left unsaid as he finally turns his gaze from the ice cold frenzy that encircles them to the man at his side, " unless you've got a snowmobile tucked away somewhere, sir. "

anyway first post is going to be me screaming over the fact that gaz got to be the voice of reason re: gen. shepherd. kyle "i will kill us both" garrick has grown so much since the disaster at piccadilly, since nearly launching himself throough bullet-proof glass at the butcher, and it's all because he has faith in the work they do. he no longer feels the need to take every given opportunity to balance the scales because it has been proven to him that justice comes when they pave the way for it. i might not have gotten to play as him as much this time around but just seeing his growth makes me scream into my hands.

❛       𝐰𝐞   𝐝𝐨    𝐨𝐮𝐫    𝐣𝐨𝐛    ⸺        and    melt    away.       ❜
private and highly selective writing  blog  for  kyle  ' gaz ' garrick of activision's call of duty modern warfare, as written by tea. previously on @141d and @tealias. please read the rules under the read more before following.
hello! my name is tea, or you may know me from previous blogs as tinez, whichever is fine! please, give the rules a thorough read before you follow and don't hesitate to reach out if there are any questions at all.
001. shipping:  i am 28 years old, for my own comfort i will not be shipping with any writer below the age of 21. nsfw may occur, it will always be properly tagged and under a rm. ships (romantic, platonic, antagonistic) are some of my favorite areas to explore so please do not hesitate to reach out if you have a dynamic in mind!
002. selectivity:  i will not follow blogs that post their replies as images or write real-life people. i hardblock on sight at any indication of  shipping and/or writing inc*st, nsfw involving minors, harmful stereotypes, or bigotry. if i do not follow you, please do not engage with my ic content, i will softblock if this rule is broken.  this blog is 18+ only,  if you do not have your age stated somewhere on your blog i will not follow you back. this is not a military friendly blog. do not follow me if you romantizise or glorify the military.
003. duplicates: i do not mind duplicates of my muse, but when it comes to my partners i do tend to stick to one portrayal. because i keep my following to those i intend to write with, this means that i usually do not follow back blogs of muses i already have an established dynamic with. this is a case-by-case thing and doesn't always apply, but i think it's fair to mention. there is absolutely no pressure or requirement that you return this, you're free to write with as many kyles as your heart desires, this is just how i function asdlkjg
004. activity: i work full time mon-fri as a teacher, so the speed of my replies do not reflect my interest but more so my workload offline. if you have a reply pending from me, feel free to ask the status of it, but keep in mind that i am not a quick writer. this applies to ooc as much as it does ic. at times i have periods of extended absence from tumblr and social media at large, and more often than not i'll just pick up communication where it was left off when i come back around. i know this is not something that's compatible with everyone, and that's completely okay, just know that it is nothing personal.
005. triggers: all triggers known to me will be tagged with a standard tw: trigger tag. if there is something regularly appearing in my content that you need tagged please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
006. interactions: liking interaction calls or sending memes are the best ways to start up interactions with me. mutuals are also welcome to drop into my IMS or ask about my disc.
