Peering: 🪳Gary "Roach" Sanderson/Trudy "Jay" Saidler(OC)🪶

That day...It could be his last. It's not like he's changed, it's like he's been replaced. Roach became gloomy, harsh, and even showed aggression that sparkled like a sparkler. Roach spent more time in the room, wouldn't let anyone near him, not even Trudy. In response to her attempts to help him, and once again, his aggression sparked again, which even scared Roach of himself, because he was behaving unconsciously, and perhaps it was a defensive reaction, but he immediately realized what he had done, regretted his actions, because he would never He became so harsh with Trudy.

"I'm sorry…I didn't want to,"- he spoke softly, almost in a whisper, hiding his face, not even looking at Trudy. There was a note of regret and pain in his voice,- "You shouldn't see me like this..

Trudy's heart is painfully squeezed, she wants to help him, soften the pain he has been through, calm him down, support him. Trudy closed the distance between them, tentatively stretched out her hands to his hands, slowly removing them, and waiting for Roach to try to distance himself from her again. But no, it didn't happen, but he didn't take his hands off.

"Roach, look at me,"- she said, her voice low and gentle. Roach hesitated, but still took his hands away from his face, and raised his tired eyes to look at the girl.

His face….Or rather, a part of the face, the cheek, was struck by fire, leaving behind a burn, like a brand in memory of that day. Trudy froze at what she saw. Roach looked into her eyes, there was a rather mixed feeling, but definitely not disgust.

"You shouldn't have seen that."- Roach started to turn away from Trudy, but Trudy stopped him by putting her hand on his cheek, which the fire had not reached.

"No," - she whispered, stroking his cheek with her thumb, "Everything will be fine…"

She stood on tiptoe, then gave his lips a light and gentle kiss. Roach closed his eyes, absorbing her support, her love, her warmth, and a certain relief. The feelings she feels for him, and Trudy herself, are his salvation…and then there's a long road to healing ahead…

❗️Fanfiction!AU! Dedicated to the Unfinished Business mission❗️

Can you call it a mini-fanfiction, or how I see the situation if Roach had survived that fateful day?

There could have been another post for 💖Valentine's Day💖, but the plans changed, and I decided that I would stop keeping this post in drafts. It's a little sad, but everyone is alive and well🤧

What makes me giggle really hard about COD, is that while it is propaganda, it also sometimes shows some sort of criticism towards the military (probably not intentional).

(I don't think criticism is the best word for this, but i can't find any other word to describe it, so it will have to do for now).

OG Soap pushes himself to be better because he can't handle losing his soldiers, and that's what eventually gets him killed, his need to push himself to his limit because he feels guilty and angry, because he doesn't think he's good enough as a Captain (not like Price).

OG Ghost is recruited into the 141 just because he's legally dead, which means Shepherd can do whatever he wants with him. He's recruited after he gets revenge over his family's murders and fakes his death. He couldn't have refused Shepherd's offer, what could he have done otherwise?

People think he's dead, his grave is dug and filled, and even if he came back, he was classified as one of the most dangerous men in Britain, he didn't have any other choice, and he was used by Shepherd to get what he needed.

I seriously cannot understand if i'm analyzing too much, I love cringe rambling sorry :3

Played MW2. What a fever dream of a game.

I'm on MW4 right now and the whole series is fascinating to me because it makes me wonder. It doesn't feel that terrifying when you see European or Middle Eastern towns at war, but the imagery of that suburban America on fire in MW2 genuinely scared me, even as a person of different background who doesn't associate themselves with the country. It feels like out of the whole word those happy, white picked fence suburbs are something so sacral and untouchable that war will never reach it and when it does, even in the game, it's disturbing. I feel like people would think that the plot lines are too polarising, and I am almost sure that I saw discussions about it before, but the threat is real and was real back in the day. It is just curious to me that they choose to include it at all. Something something about how western media over the years became more and more isolationist.

His secret talent is drawing. Often draws on his journal what he feels.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in Westminster, Austin’s childhood life was a normal one. When he turned 16, the terrorists attacked the aquarium when he was on vacation with his family. His father was crushed by debris when the grenade exploded.

After the incident, his mother went into depression, started smoking and drinking. At rainy night, Austin had no choice but to leave his home behind, to live on the streets. Becoming a ghost, he learned to steal, survive and encounter dangerous criminals and gangs. His sharp instincts and a keen sense of awareness, he was called by the nickname “Hawk” by street gangs, due to his ability to observe and react swiftly.

One day, while taking a shelter in abandoned building, he came across a recruitment poster for the British army and decided to join. After completing basic training, Stewart rapidly distinguished himself in deployments to the Middle East, where his precision, tactical thinking, and fearlessness in urban combat earned him commendations. His leadership under fire did not go unnoticed.

After several tours and commendations for bravery, Austin was selected for Special Air Service selection. His quiet intensity and laser focus drew the interest of Captain Price, who handpicked him for Task Force 141. Hawk was brought in to supplement the team’s recon and sniper capabilities, often partnering with Ghost and Soap during black-ops raids.

The gruelling process tested not just strength, but willpower—and for a man who’d already lost and abandoned everything, failure simply wasn’t an option.

How General Shepard actually killed Roach

Me and my partner were talking and the image popped into my head of this happening. Might draw this better quality later.

[gooseypoopsie]

Its been a long time but I'm back to thinking about Captain Mactavish, Roach, and Ghost again :' )

I was talking to one of my friends earlier (@i-n-k-s) about how i would love to see an animatic/animation to Placing the Blame by Self of Ghost and Roach talking to Mactavish. A lot of this idea stems from the recent tiktok trends with this song that feature people's ocs and like,,, Bucky Barnes (don't even get me started). Its kind of a shame I didn't talk about this or actually do it when I first had the idea because a lot of people have done similar concepts now. However, what I am having insane brainrot over is Roach and Ghost saying "are you man enough, are you man enough" with a cut to Mactavish during the next line "are you man enough, to take the blame for this." I know this part repeats 4 times at the end of the song but I think I would only actually do it to the last two times.

On the first "Are you man enough, are you man enough?" I want Ghost and Roach to look relatively normal, MAYBE slightly blurry. Then on the jump to Mactavish, I want him visibly distraught/upset in some way during the next line, "Are you man enough, to take the blame for this." Then when "Are you man enough" repeats for the second time I want Ghost and Roach to be right out of a horror movie, not only charred but covered in their own blood - not nessecarily what happened to them but instead what MacTavish imagines happened to them. Instead of cutting back to MacTavish during "Are you man enough, to take the blame for this?" it stays on Ghost and Roach and they look even WORSE.

A lot of this is SO clear in my mind because I brainrot about MacTavish's guilt, shame, and grief CONSTANTLY. It is why I love him so much I think that his journal really changed the way I think about him and his relationships with all of the other characters, including Gaz and even the other 141 members that died when Shepherd turned on them. If you've never read his journal I highly recommend it is like 60 some pages of pure pain that you can find a scanned version of on the Call of Duty wiki page. A lot of his journal adds this aspect you never see of Soap in the actual game play because for most of the games you're playing AS him, and just about every second you see of anyone is during a mission where youre getting shot at, so it makes sense that he lacks a lot of the humanization his journal has. For the most part his journal covers downtime between missions, plans for future missions, and how he feels about the people around him. Soap unpacks a lot of his guilt and different ways as he tries to cope with loss in his journal. What I'm trying to get at is there is a really interesting turning point when MacTavish loses the 141 and specifically Ghost and Roach. Earlier on he mentions how he sees a lot of himself in Roach, and even mentions he catching Roach with a journal of his own at one point. Soap also mentions Ghost's skill and reliable nature although MacTavish doesn't ever speak on Ghost the way he does with Roach. After their deaths, there is a CLEAR difference in how MacTavish uses his journal. First is his handwriting shift, with when he actually writes that they have died the whole page is written sloppy and with a lot of pressure on the pen. Nothing does it justice unless I use a picture:

What's so different about this page is that although Soap has shown his emotion before, there is so much more anger and his need for vengeance. Which, spoiler, he gets when he kills Shepherd.

Something I really want to point out here is that on the wiki page they speculate that the blood on this page is from Shepherd's knife and is a mixture of both his and Soap's,,,, (makes me insane). This page also has my all time favorite quotes from MacTavish, "How many times can a man save your life until its no longer your own?" and "Loyalty doesn't operate on a sliding scale. It's a safety. On or off."

Anyway, back to Ghost and Roach : ) For the rest of the journal, neither of them are mentioned which is really out of character for MacTavish considering how he talked about Gaz and Price after their deaths (when he thought Price was dead). MacTavish holds a lot of guilt for Gaz's death and not being able to tell his family about really happened, along with guilt for Price. He idolizes Price to an unhealthy extent by obsessing over his pistol, beginning to drink the same kind of whiskey, smoke Villa Claras, and bet on horses - all things that Price did. It comes from a place of wanting to match Price and fill his shoes, as Soap is promoted to Captain and given his own Task Force. It hits me so hard that MacTavish talks about feeling like Price and trying to emulate him in how he leads his team, and then to lose all of them the way he did? It has been making me crazy for years now (not exaggerating). As someone who absolutely loves Roach and Ghost I sometimes forget that they aren't the only people in the 141.

During "Takedown" (the mission in the favela with Roja) Meat is the first of Soap's men to die, which he writes about in his journal and criticizes himself for the death. During this mission two other 141 operatives are listed as K.I.A. on the Cod wiki (I haven't played or watched a playthrough of this game in forever so this may or may not be true). What I really want to talk about though is "Loose Ends" because Shepherd and Shadow company don't only kill Ghost and Roach. They also slaughter Toad, Archer, Ozone, and Scarecrow, all of which are npcs and don't contribute much to the actual story but are relevant when I try to get into Soap's head. Just, the way that yes Soap lost his Liutennant and his Sergeant, he also lost his ENTIRE team, because those who were not on this mission were elsewhere in the world, and most likely punished for their involvement with the 141 in some way. It is even noted on the Cod wiki that remaining members were either killed or imprisoned because Shepherd labeled them all as war criminals. I think the worst part about it is that all of this really was MacTavish's fault because he didn't see it coming. I think that Soap blames himself for not being the one to go to the safe house, and instead letting Ghost and Roach go, I think he feels guilty for cutting their lives short. It gets me so good because of the relationship that MacTavish had with Roach </3

I will forever be crazy about Captain MacTavish and his guilt. Waiter waiter! Please give me a Placing the Blame animatic of Roach and Ghost tormenting Soap thanks!
