task force 141 + christmas wishlists
Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra
Warnings: none
A/N: ewww i have finals tmmrw
rodolfo "rudy" parra:
alright so i mentioned this in my stocking stuffers headcanon but we're gonna go in more depth here
rudy's christmas wishlist is really just legos
but like big, expensive lego sets
like i said then, he always compiles a big list of sets he wants each year
this year he's obsessed with the technic/vehicle sets
he got the vespa set for his birthday so that one was crossed off the list
and now he's looking to collect all the ferrari sets
last year he nabbed the ferrari 488 gte "af course #1"
and this year he wants the ferrari daytona sp3
he really likes the technic sets because their like a harder version of the normal lego sets
plus they're a lot more durable which is important to him
he has all his lego sets lined up on shelves around his apartment
and he already has a shelf of lego vehicles
which currently includes the ferrari 488, the vespa, and the lamborghini sián fkp 37 (he bought that for himself after he got a pay raise)
and ofc once he gets all his luxury cars/racecars collected, he plans on moving onto the classic cars collection
john "soap" mactavish:
alright so idk why this headcanon brings me so much joy but it does
but soap really really really wants a dirt bike for christmas
he rode one during a mission around summer time
and ever since then he won't stop raving about how cool it was
if we're being honest he wasn't that good at it
but honestly that just motivated him even more because now he wants one so he can get better at riding it
he wants to be able to do all those crazy flips and tricks they do
and he spends soooo much time researching bikes and watching videos of the tricks
he also doesn't even know when he would get the chance to use it
or where he would practice
since his house is not exactly near prime dirt biking terrain
but he insists he'll figure something out
his dream is definitely the yz250
he just thinks it looks so cool and sleek
but it's like ~$7000 so he doesn't have his hopes up
would definitely implode if he got it tho
john price:
alright so for christmas price really wants a weighted heated blanket
i mean can you blame him?
it gets pretty cold up in his cabin and he just wants to be able to be all warm and cozy
he honestly didn't even realize it was a thing until gaz told him about it
and now he won't stop talking about it
like he keeps hinting about how he wants it
saying things like "god it's cold in here, a nice heated blanket would be great huh?" or "my blanket is getting so thin, one of those weighted blankets would be insane huh?"
what can i say he really wants one
but he also doesn't wanna spend like $100 on one
which is why he's being so coy about it
besides a weighted heated blanket price wants cigars
i mean he always wants cigars but he wants them as a christmas gift this time
he wants really fancy ones that are really high quality
honestly his ideal holiday evening is him on the couch, with warm socks, a tea, a cigar, and his weighted heated blanket and a nice movie on the tv
simon "ghost" riley:
this year (and every year really) simon wants books for christmas
he's a fan of classic literature so he really just wants paperbacks of all the classics
paperback because it's easier to bring on missions
like i said in one of my past headcanons, i think simon was definitely an english literature major in college
so he definitely has a lot of books already
but let's be real you can never have too many books
the books on his wishlist this year include the metamorphosis by franz kafka, journey to the center of the earth by jules verne, and the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde
okay we're gonna go off on a tangent here
but simon secretly wants to open up a bookstore when he retires
except, and this is gonna get kinda sad here, he knows it's ultimately just a pipe dream bc the chances of him retiring are really slim
yk since he's more likely to be killed in action...
but he still likes the idea of it in case he does make it out of the military alive
kyle "gaz" garrick:
alright so for christmas gaz wants new headphones and a speaker
gaz just lives his life with a soundtrack in the background what can i say
he loves listening to music whenever he can
whether he's working or training or in the shower
i like to think that he used to actually have a really nice set of earbuds
and he usually keeps them in one of the pockets of his uniform
but when he fell out of that helicopter he lost his earbuds
and he was absolutely devastated too because they were so nice
but this time around he wants headphones so that he can really take advantage of the noise cancelling feature
probably not the smartest option considering he's in the military but yk what sometimes gaz just needs a break from the outside and honestly who doesn't?
he also has a really nice speaker but then soap broke it
gaz had it next to him on the couch while he was watching tv or smthing
and then soap sorta hopped over the back of the couch to sit next to him
and then sat straight on the speaker
and since the couch at the base sucks and is therefore pretty hard
plus the fact that soap is probably like over two hundred pounds of muscle
the speaker really had no chance
so yeah gaz really just wants his music back for christmas
and off topic but he's into a lot of oldish hip hop/rap rn
like the notorious b.i.g., ice cube, 2pac, dr. dre
yk sorta like the classics
(im ngl idk if those are classics music genres confuse me)
alejandro vargas:
this year alejandro wants a ps5
maybe this is coming sorta out of left field but i feel like alejandro is lowkey a gamer
which ik doesn't make sense since we've established he's into self care and gamers never shower
jkjk no hate to any gamers im sure most of y'all have tolerable self hygiene
but yeah alejandro is actually super into video games
he has a lot of consoles but he didn't get the ps5 when it first came out so now he wants it
im gonna go off on a few alejandro video game tangents here so get ready
first off i think he and rudy played "a way out" together with no prior knowledge of the game
and so at the ending they were absolutely devastated
they also play overcooked a lot
and they let the other task force members play too
it's always interesting because alejandro takes it really seriously
and so he gets soooo stressed about it it's kinda amusing
also he's super good at super smash bros
and surprisingly he's not really a fan of first person shooter games (ironic i know)
it's just that he does that so much in real life he doesn't want to do it in games too
