Do you ever read a fanfic that is just so good it just sticks with you into days or even weeks after you’ve read it. Like you could be sitting in class or alone in your room and suddenly you’re just like, wow, that was a really good fanfic. Like it was really good.  

Seven Devils by @sunder-soul is the most recent one I’ve read like this; it’s just… too good for words

Destruction of Military Property

Soap MacTavish X GN!Reader

“I hate this thing,” Soap grumbled to himself in the mirror, pulling at the collar of his dress blues and adjusting the wrist cuffs yet again. “I’m not even the one getting a medal, I just have to be there.” “Well I,” you say, approaching him with a lint roller, “think it makes you look incredibly handsome.” You peel back the lint roller to a fresh sheet and quickly roll it along his sleeves and across his shoulders before moving down his back.

“That so, Lass?” “Mhm,” You hum. He pulls you around to stand in front of him and sets you on the bathroom counter. “Incredibly handsome,” You say again softly, touching up his mohawk just a tad. He takes your hand in his and kisses it sweetly, his lips so warm. “Well what can I say? My darling keeps me looking presentable.” You laugh a bit and pull him in to kiss you. He slides his tongue into your mouth and presses you against the mirror. You turn his head to the side and make quick work of painting his stubbled jaw and neck with red hickies. You sigh disdainfully and push him away from you.

“Get off of me, you brute. Your gonna be late,” You say with a chuckle. He groans pitifully and leans away from you before looking at himself one more time in the mirror. “Go!” You say again, swatting him on the bum as he walks away.

“Alright alright, lass, I’m goin’! I’m getting you back for that later!” He says with a quick wink before trotting out the door.

Not soap suggesting the prank 💀 we love our silly military man xoxo

Not With a Bang but a Whimper

Summary: Simon has a tendency to be quiet in bed. But maybe, just maybe, you can get him to break his silent streak for once.

Pairing: Simon "Ghost" Riley x Reader

Word Count: ~2.5k

Warnings: language, SMUT 18+ (vaginal sex)

A/N: Hello! So we all agree that Ghost's voice is hot, right? And so the thought of him moaning; the filth he'd grunt in your ear… Ugh, I just had to write a little something that would scratch that itch Ghost inflicts on my brain. As always, I hope you enjoy! :)

There's something about the darkness, the vast visual emptiness, that heightens all of one's other senses.

The tang of sweat. The scratch of sheets. The rhythmic, wet thwapthwapthwap of skin against skin.

They all come together to create a harmonious symphony of the flesh that overrides the benefit of sight, though you're sure that wouldn't detract. 

And it's perfect, really. All of it. You wouldn't change a single, microscopic detail. Except, well… Perhaps…

ngl i wish anyone other than me would talk about how jkr is Islamophobic?

don't get me wrong, every single thing she's being called out for is valid and she's a nasty horrible person but every time i mention she's Islamophobic people brush me off? so is that not worth outrage as well?

anyway cw: Islamophobia and transphobia, 2 for one special, because this is an excerpt from her shitty crime novel

Sorry for the irritated tone but I am tired of people ignoring me. I don't get why it's not a bigger deal for people that she 1) Demonised Muslim women who choose to fully cover up. 2) Implied they were predatory in nearly the exact same way she does with trans women. 3) Implied that the acceptance of fully covered women in women's spaces puts other women at risk.

all this in a country that is already hostile to Muslim women /immigrant women?

and im sorry but what will it take to get people to realise that this conversation is also worth taking up space in the universe of discourse people are having about this shitty woman?

Since I didn't see this in the notes, just want to add this passage is from The Silkworm, which was released in 2014. It was getting passed around in 2020 before Troubled Blood was released that year. This Daily Mail article talks about it (but I understand if you don't want to give them a click lol). I saw a number of people at the time get confused and think it was from Troubled Blood, so I wanted to point that out.

While I'm at it I'll make it clear that this passage is not taken out of context at all. This is 100% a serious theory the heroic main characters of this book are considering. They move on pretty quickly but at no point are we the audience supposed to think they're being racist.

Lost followers after reblogging that whole thing about JKR being radicalized over the years, and that disturbs me.

Like if you think saying that people can be radicalized and manipulated into hate is somehow justifying it, yikes. And if you think that people are somehow just good or evil and that you are not at risk of buying into propaganda, have I got some very red flag news about that!

Idk if its because I am an older Millennial maybe (most who unfollowed were younger) but I watched a ton of that generation slide from one of the most progressive to the far right before my every eyes. Hell, my dad fought alongside his black friends in the Detroit race riots and now he watches Fox News 24/7 and talks about the border wall. Yet still claims he could never be racist because of how he used to be. He doesn’t even realize what he has become.

JKR isn’t a deluded old woman or innately evil, but in fact THE prime example of how well-meaning ignorance and privilege can be weaponized and encouraged down a pipeline, until it turns into a force of hate, and should be a cautionary tale about why educating and being open about these issues are necessary. Because there are those out there who will use those divisions and ignorance to their own ends. And just digging in our heels and saying “that could never be me!” is the very thing that puts you more at risk. I’ve lost so many loved ones down that pipeline and it is more slippery than most realize.

Stay alert, stay compassionate, stay humble, and make sure you move through life guided by reason rather than reaction. I love y’all and don’t want to see your passion twisted to get used against the world.

Thinking "I could never be a bigot" is the first prerequisite for becoming a bigot.

In the UK we've seen a few people ride this crazy train to the end of the line in the last few years. Perhaps because our political landscape is different from that of the US, it's easier to see it happening. There has never been an expectation here that being a conservative means you will hold insane views. It might mean you have some objectionable political ideologies, but you are still expected to be a somewhat normal human being who occupies the same planet as the rest of us.

So when we see somebody make the transition from being just a bit right-wing in their thinking, to being a full-on conspiracy lunatic, it really shows. We've seen it with a lot of our politicians and other public figures.

There's a guy called Neil Oliver who used to present historical TV. His views were always a bit weird and biased (historians and archaeologists did not like him at all), but he wasn't an actual crazy person. But he rode that crazy train to the end of the line and became a fully-fledged antivaxx COVID denier, who is now babbling about one world government and peddling antisemitic conspiracy theories. It happens.

JK Rowling's radicalisation has really disturbed people, because she was famous for books which championed ideas of equality and rights for marginalised groups. In retrospect, those books had some biases and prejudices in them as well, but they were ones that most white Britons carry without realising it. So the seemingly sudden change from that to being someone spreading hatred of trans people and seeming to consciously back antisemitic ideas was a massive whiplash. A real shock. Even more of a shock than the fact she seems to have forgotten how to write a readable book.

Now, I'm a pro-independence Scot who was active on Twitter in the years after 2014. So I already knew she was disingenuous, a bit of a troll, and had some fairly reactionary views. Perhaps her further radicalisation was less of a shock for me. But it still took me aback.

This happens. It happens to people who are too secure in their own self-concept as a Good And Progressive Person. They feel that because they are a Good And Progressive Person, all their thoughts and feelings and biases must also be Good And Progressive, because Good People don't have Bad Thoughts, and of course, Bad People never have Good Thoughts.

By painting JK Rowling as having always been a secretly Bad Person, and Harry Potter as having always been secretly propaganda for Bad Thoughts, we make ourselves vulnerable to the same kind of radicalisation. The truth is that she is just a person, a white cis woman with some unexamined biases, who wrote a series of books that were good-hearted and had good messages, and also reflected some of those biases. And now she has taken a ride on the crazy train, and it's scary to see.

Because it could happen to any of us.

Please read in its entirety, if you’re able. I understand their argument and perspective. I’d like to consider myself to be a pretty even keeled individual. And yet, I hear myself slide a time or two especially when having heated discussions with older relatives & have to harness my brain.

the good guy | mick schumacher

pairing: mick schumacher x leclerc!reader part 3 (and final part) to disapproval read part 1 here and part 2 here
after getting an earful from you (and a certain british driver) it finally sinks in for charles how much he's been neglecting your happiness and he starts to see how much mick truly means to you
word count: 2.8k warnings: none except lil bit of asshole charles still

When Charles met up with Lando and Carlos for a late lunch, there was no way he could ignore their looks of disapproval. Lando even had sunglasses on and Charles could see the judgement through the dark lenses before he could sit down.

Charles could see the shift in dynamic as well. Lando and Carlos were friends, but they way they both sat on the same side of the table, leaving the other side empty for himself made this whole meal feel like an intervention. Maybe that was their plan, they wanted to talk some sense into the Ferrari driver.

Somebody’s Watching Me Part 11

Pairing: Simon “Ghost” Riley x Reader (“Sarge”, she/her, British, backstory)

Category: slowburn coworkers to friends to lovers with grumpy x sunshine dynamic/idiots in love

Warnings: British terminology/slang, strong language, injury detail, war/death, mask is off and on, angst, canon-typical violence, mentions of stalking, sexual references

Things became complicated. More so than they already were. The range of emotions you were feeling was making life difficult. You couldn't concentrate. The most simple of tasks were becoming far more complex than they ever should be because your mind was focusing on one particular subject.

Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley.

He'd ruined you. Ruined your life. Ruined everything.

It didn't help that he knew it either.
