#dadler and graveson

[pampanope]

in your Dadler amd Graveson au, do they have any shared hobbies(like surfing or something like that)?

Two words, friend~

GUNS AND BBQ

i hc that Phillip’s always after his father’s approval, not because he never has it, but he just likes knowing that he’s got his support~

Dadler an Graveson au headcannons

the first gift that Phillip received was a small rubber duck given to him by his uncle mason on his 1st birthday party. Now that duck is sitting oh Phillips desk next to a family photo.

2. Adler has the first art piece that Phillip made in kindergarten framed on the fridge in a Mickey mouse frame that Phillip chose when Adler took him to Disneyland.

3. In an Au where Adler doesn't try to kill bell, Bell is Phillips favourite aunt/uncle who always babysits Phillip and David mason when woods and Adler go to the bar to rewind after a days hard work.

4. one time Phillip climbed on top of the house and sat up their for hours, Adler didn't know why and called Phillip down form the roof asking him what he was doing, Phillip responds that he was talking to his new friend bell. Adler brushed it off as a coincidence but one day Adler was gardening and he looked up on the roof and a very much alive ex-soviet waved at him.

5. Adler taught Phillip how to use a BBQ when he was 14.

I feel like we moved on W A Y too quickly from the new skin for Adler LITERALLY BEING CALLED "DADLER"

Maybe it's just because of my Tumblr feed, but I haven't seen shit about it since it was announced

And like. I feel like this is huge??

Like, can this really be a coincidence? They could have called it so many things, but they chose "Dadler". They could have called it "grill sergeant" or "smokin" or SOMETHING GRILL RELATED. YOU KNOW. BECAUSE ITS A 4TH OF JULY SKIN??

But they. Chose. Dadler.

And there's too many people who work on these games for no one to be on Tumblr

NOT ONLY THAT- LISTEN TO ME, OKAY, LISTEN-!!

The apron? #1 dad?? The little paintings that were clearly made by a child??? The HAND PRINT??

This not only is a "haha, we know about you guys" skin.

Nonono

They are FULLY CONFIRMING THE EXISTENCE OF ADLER HAVING A CHILD.

This is past the small detail of his file having a redacted name in the "children" section. That was deliberate, but VERY small

This is upfront. This is saying so much more

And need I repost the existence of THIS PARALLEL???

WE DONT NEED TO TALK ABOUT JUST HOW SIMILAR THEY LOOK IN GENERAL. WE ALL SEE IT

I think they might be slowly bringing Dadler and Graveson to Canon. And I am not complaining one bit

That's all, thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Grandpa Adler thoughts.

Grandpa Adler who is taking care of Phillip's kids becouse hes busy with the shadows. Phillip's elder son has reached the age where he thinks smoking is cool, and tries to steal one of Adler's cigerattes. Adler, who is well aware of what smoking does (but doesn't care usually), makes him smoke the whole thing. Gary never smokes another day in his life after that, where he coughed up a wad of black mucus and felt terrible for the next two days.

Grandpa Adler who always sighs when he takes his grandkids in, but never actually complains. When his kids show up to pick them up, he always inists he could have them a few more days

Adler who actually stops smoking as much becouse he doesn't want his grandkids to smell it after Lane got a headache from the smell. He hadn't smoked inside since Kate was a baby, but now he made sure he did it further away from the house so the smell wasn't as bad.

Adler who occassionally gaslights his grandkids with stories like "how did I get these scars? I didn't listen to my dad."

Just... Grandpa Adler thoughts. He would be a good grandfather.

Forever thinking about a hear me out cake video that I saw last year where someone put Ghost on there and was immediately drenched with the spray bottles they were using to punish conventionally attractive picks while yelling "with the mask!"

Anyways, I think that's exactly how a Shadow hear me out cake would go, except with an entire store aisle's worth of water gun firepower. Adler also ends up on there at some point; nobody knows who did it, and Graves can't tell if he's disappointed or impressed.

Graves would not know what was happening in the commons. He would just hear loud laughter and screaming, which he would approach cautiously because what the fuck are they doing? And he would enter, the Shadows freezing when they saw him.

Three large pan cakes with little paper cut outs on sticks sticking out. Water bottles armed. And three paper cut outs of fucking Russell Adler and three wet Shadows around the cake they stuck out of. Really, he was afraid to ask. It appeared harmless, a weird game. And he knew if he asked what they were doing he would get involved with... something.

But he persisted, because who was Phillip Graves if not persistent?

"What the fuck are you doing?"

The Shadows seemed equally nervous to explain. But one brave soul, one of the wet Shadows, decided she would take one for the team. And explain why they wanted to fuck his father.

"It's called a 'hear me out' cake. And we put our 'hear me out's on the cake and receive judgement," Graves stared at her, the Shadow not losing her nerve, "We're supposed to put questionable fucks."

"Yet you put an attractive old man on it, doesn't count."

"But he's old! And the boss' old man! It fucking counts!"

Graves quietly processed what he was told, staring off into space as a few Shadows began to argue over whether or not fucking an old person was a 'hear me out'. Maybe he should take it as a complement, he'll still be fuckable even when old, right?

Then Graves saw that one of the cakes was filled to the brim. With cut outs of him. He silently pointed at the cake, and several Shadows scattered without a word. He turned to one of them that either chose to stay or was simply to slow to escape, grabbing his shirt collar to prevent him from running. After a minute he finally mustered up the question in mind.

"What... is that?"

"Uh- Well, sir, you're a popular choice! A-And some of us thought to have a- uh- 'all in agreement' cake?"

Graves stared hard and the Shadow looked like he was going to cry. He released the man and he immediately took off out of the room, the remaining Shadows staring, awaiting judgement or something from their CO.

Graves decided he would deal with it later, "I'm going to bed early."

This was really too much for a damn Tuesday morning.

Getting the call that his son is dead isn't what breaks Russell Adler. He knows the risks of the life that Phillip Graves led; they both knew that one day there would be consequences to such a path, and yet he watched his son follow it and did so silently.

The drive to go see the body doesn't weigh on him. It's silent other than the faint hum of his engine, and his eyes never fill with tears that put his driving at risk. He's simply a man on a journey.

Standing beside the body doesn't ruin him. That's his son, and he looks like he's sleeping peacefully. Maybe he could do with a blanket tucked around him, but that's Phillip Graves just a little colder than he was the last time his father saw him.

An urge doesn't strike him; the act is second nature. What do parents do when their babies are asleep? They hold them close to their chest.

Something about it makes his chest tighten as he struggles to tuck his son under his chin. As his arms wrap around his boy, it hollows him out and leaves him cold like the skin under his fingertips. Struggling to find a comfortable position to hold the baby he brought home from the hospital, head tucked under his chin, is what makes his eyes sting like someone injected acid in his tear ducts.

Phillip Graves is too big to stay tucked under his father's arms. He outgrew it years ago. He's too stiff and too cold, his nose doesn't scrunch up in displeasure at being trapped, and he doesn't huff a breath of reluctant acceptance and fist his hands in his father's shirt.

Russell Adler hasn't wept since he could fit under his own father's chin. But as he hunches over what's left of his son, a wail is ripped from his throat. He curses the day he ever agreed to have children because he never expected it to end, as he finds out his son no longer fits in his arms. And he never will again. His son is dead, they'll lock him in a box and he'll stay there on his own. He'll lie there still, only this time he isn't under Dad's duvet, he's under six feet of dirt that he'll never crawl his way out of.

Adler can't remember who scrapes him off the floor and takes him home, but he does remember breaking the promise he had made the day his son was born. He walks out of the room and abandons his son to his fate, and leaves the title of father at the door.

@laswells-ashtray cause I know you'd like this.

But Adler coming home and dropping on the bed face first like an emotionally exhausted teenage girl. And man does he feel like one. Everything hurts, he's hot, he's tired, and everything building up causes him to miss the rapid foot falls. The 'thump thump thump thump' before the most Dad like groan escaped him as he's pounced upon. Knowing damn well it's his son who drapes himself across his back like a tiny possum.

"Missed ya kid."

"Missed ya to." A little, minor asshole, Phillip chirps out.

Man it was good to be home.

[niresenrab]

Phil has a bit of a chin cleft, but it's much softer than Adler's very defined cleft.

He has Adler's dirty blonde hair, but Phil's is a bit deeper, more of a light brown like his mom.

He has those same pouty lips. DSLs But Russel's lips are a bit puffier.

The same defined jawline, even though Adler's head is a bit more square and Phil is more of a pentagon shape.

Phil keeps looking in the mirror, seeing all the traits of his father. The face of the man who abandoned him. So he keeps reminding himself of the little differences to keep himself sane.

Graves sometimes forgets that Ghost didn’t have a good relationship with his family

[makeila04]

Totally against Dadler and Graveson but I see this and it gives me strong vibes from that.

Fellas, Warren saw that on my Instagram 💀💀💀💀

Totalmente en contra de Dadler y Graveson pero veo esto y me da unas fuertes vibes de eso.

[pampanope]

Day 15

[perry-the-platypus-f1cs]

I just had an idea. IMAGINE THE PREMISE OF THIS SONG

BUT with Phillip graves and bell.

ok so the song about a US Marine in Vietnam. His weapon jammed and he was deep behind enemy lines, and this bull of a Marine named 'Camouflage' appears to him and helps guide him back to safety before disappearing again. Turns out, that bull Marine died, but his ghost helped the other marine return to safety.

SO! just imagine the same sorta premise but with Phillip and bell, imagine if Phillip was sent on a mission as a young marine to Solovetsky to prevent Russian insurgents (or something along those lines) and he gets pinned under enemy fire before suddenly another soldier aids him in getting away.

but when he talk about the soldier to his superiors they have no idea what's he's talking about so they discharge him for mental health analysis and eh ends up talking to Adler about it who goes pale as a ghost (hehe) when he hears the name of the soldier who helped save his sons life.

Is bell a ghost?

did bell survive alders bullet?

WHO KNOWS

[doodling-doodle]

GUYS ITS OUT

Here's some more pictures... they keep putting emphasis "#1 dad" this is on PURPOSE yall

ALL of them have #1 dad somewhere on them

Oh and incase anyone was wondering

This is what the sticky note says

There's nothing that directly links Graveson that I can see, but I still strongly believe we're going in that direction

Anyway I will be buying cod points soon for this

[smokeyhillscowboy]

I know the Adler and Graves are father and son theory (headcanon?) is getting somewhat popular, but who says that he only has to have one kid?

If you will stick around for my crack theory, I will now suggest something that makes the entire video call in MW3, really funny.

Laswell is the older sister. Maybe they’re twins, maybe they’re not. Kate and her little brother Phillip never got along great, but hey, they play nice for the family and occasionally Kate slides him some jobs.

So she KNEW Graves wasn’t in that tank. She probably saw him a day later and just didn’t know how to bring it up to the rest of them.
