The "Actually, I believe he prefers to be—" "That'll do." Exchange lives rent-free in my brain like. What was Soap going to say? Was it 'L.t'? But I think technically Alejandro is higher ranked than him (Ghost) right(?) So I'm not sure if that works entirely and 'L.t' seems to be something that other marines/or soldiers under their command picks up anyway (probably from Soap idk, but others do call Ghost that). Was it like, 'Simon' or 'Si'? I know he calls Ghost Simon occasionally and maybe the quick shutdown of Soap's sentence comes from Ghost wanting to keep the emotional distance from others. But considering the absolute vitriol of which Ghost says, nay spits, "That'll do." I wonder if Soap has gotten away with introducing Ghost with the stupidest names, like 'Ghostie' or 'Sisi', in the past 💀

#ghost soap #ghostsoap #random fucking thoughts always and forever #i never stop thinking about them #how Soap survived introducing Ghost with stupid names is beyond me but it's probably for gay reasons #represeed gay reasons at this point #mw2 #cod mw2 #okay doing it in a very media critic character analysis way though #i think it establishes a very clear differentiation in the relationship between ghost and soap #that despite their prev missions and etc ghost still isn't at a point where he trusts others - even someone he has been deployed with for a #while with something like his introduction/name #he doesn't trust soap to not snark up or define his presence as anything but the way he wants it to be #professional //clinical //without closeness #probably because he recognizes soaps very casual golden retriever tendencies tbh #but yeah #giggles this dialogue exchange vs the shenanigans in the alone mission #character development my beloved
