Which is certainly not a metaphor for anything #SoapIsAlive #ghostsoap #ghoap

Writing doc that reads “ Ghost had still tried so hard to take care of it, to make sure it would last forever. Try as he might’ve, the spine is coming unglued near the bottom and the black leather of the front cover is badly cracked and peeling. There used to be a made-in bookmark ribbon that’s long since been ripped out. It’ll be a shame to return it like this, but he doesn’t have any business hanging on to something that was never his to begin with.”

Maybe he already has driven John mad—the entire thing is insane, it's absolutely fucking mental, because he doesn't know the bloke from a hole in the wall. Just knows he's a blond with sad eyes who doesn't bloody talk and sits like he's trying to blend into the furniture.

Except every time Dr. Steuber brings up friends and connections and putting yourself out there, John, that's where his brain goes. Straight to the empty chair. Straight to the random stabs of grief because something is missing and he doesn't even know where to start.

But he's not ready to tell her about that yet. Call it trauma, or avoidance, or whatever the next fancy term someone in a white coat throws at him, it's… it's his. It's the one thing he has that's only his. The rest of his life is trapped behind smoke and mirrors, but this part… it's the first thing that's properly happened to him since he woke up with a hole in his skull and his brain scrambled and he's not ready to share it yet.

He also doesn't tell her about the memory flashes—the brown eyes, the grease paint, the phantom warmth of a body that his skin remembers but his mind doesn't. John absently rubs at the tattoo on his forearm. As sweet as Dr. Steuber is, she'd want to dig into it—which, that's why he's here, but…

…he doesn't know her yet.

Happy Monday fuckers did you know there’s an event happening in the COD fandom this month? @soap-is-alive.bsky.social

@soap-is-alive.bsky.socialJun 6, 2026, 2:26 PMReposted by @soap-is-alive.bsky.social

We've received several questions so far, and put together a FAQ for you. We want to highlight that anyone can use #SoapIsAlive and #GazisSAFE, whether you join the discord server or not.
On October 23rd, we want EVERYONE to flood the tag and remind COD that our boys are alive and well!
More below ⤵️

Is this event 18+?
The event discord is 18+, as we will have designated NSFW channels. However, we want to encourage everyone to flood the tag when the day arrives! 

Do I have to join the Discord to use the hashtags #SoapIsAlive and #GazIsSAFE?
Absolutely not, the hashtags are of course for everyone to use. We are happy for as many people to flood the tags on the game release weekend. The event discord will feature all our information and special creative spaces and opportunities. If you are not interested in socialising and interacting, which are the main reasons why we decided to host this event on discord, you can set the server's notifications to "mentions only" and only receive pings from new announcements. We understand not everyone wants to join a server, and not everyone has a Discord. You can of course still create and spread the news that Soap is alive! Why do I have to submit a writing/art sample in my application?

Our participant application is purely for those who wish to join this event Discord. The process is to ensure that we are creating a SAFE environment in which the people who take the time to join actually want to be here in good faith. The work you submit to us is just to see if you have been creative before. If you don't have any writing or art samples, feel free to tell us some prompts or ideas instead! Overall, we're simply trying to keep our community safe from bad actors and trolls by ensuring everyone who requests to join genuinely wants to participate.Why isn't this event on Twitter?

We chose not to invite the devil into our house. 

How long is the creation period?

We officially start on June 23rd for those who choose to join the Discord server. You have four months (until October 23rd) in which to create your work, which also just happens to be the date MW4 was announced to be released. >:) 
When do we post?

On the weekend October 23rd-October 25th. The posting will occur over 3 days, and the way you post is up to you! If you make multiple pieces, you can either post them all at once or spread them out over the weekend.
Where do we post?

Use any social media you like with the Hashtags #SoapIsAlive and #GazisSAFE! The official event pages are only hosted on Tumblr and Bsky, so these are the only two platforms from which we'll reblog fan creations. There will be an AO3 collection that we will moderate based on who joins the Discord, but that shouldn't stop you from writing and posting! 

What are the requirements?

There are no minimum word counts or minimum render levels required. The only requirement for your creation (also applies to unfinished work): Soap has to be alive ultimately!! 

What kind of creations are allowed?

Anything is allowed. You can create fics, threadfics, artwork, comics, playlists, physical flyers…  Go absolutely nuts to your heart’s content. We love to see anything!

Fandom is about coming together as a collective and sharing in the joy of creation, the joy of art, of unity and community. Our beloved characters will never die so long as there are stories still left to tell. And every story is worth telling. ❤︎⁠

A snippet from an upcoming fic Sparrow is writing. The text reads: He should call Price. Let the man know to not worry, that he'll be back soon…

His thumb hovers over Johnny's profile picture instead, nestled beneath Price's contact. The photo is old—he doesn't remember taking it, but Johnny's grinning and happy, mid-laugh with his eyes crinkled and Ghost's shoulder just barely in the frame. 

Maybe that's why they both keep coming back here—Johnny because maybe something in him still remembers, something warm and peaceful and kind, and Ghost because it's the closest thing he has left to when his world felt complete. The last place where he can pretend that almost became yes, even if it's nothing more than a memory and the wishful thinking of a man too stubborn to let go.

He sticks his tongue out in a cheeky expression with white wired earbuds hanging from his ears.Poster format saying "Have you seen this man? WANTED.

Drawing of Gaz from the chest up dressed in a light blue T shirt. His body is turned to the side and he holds a grey cat in his arms. His face faces the viewer and his cheek is pressed against the cat's cheek, a soft smile on his lips. The cat has green eyes and is looking at Gaz with a serene expression.
