more ghost!Roach with accidental necromancer Soap, their first interaction !

(please ignore the fact that i can't draw the same character twice lmao)

[forestshadow-wolf]

what nationality is roach to you? like any hcs that stray from possible canon? i wanna know. i wanna know your roach head cannons

So I know that canonically he's American, but also canon roach wasn't in the reboot games, so fuck canon.

To me he's either Australian, or one time someone said they hc him as Welsh and now that's forever in my brain, OR Resi (@resident-idiot-simp) has also convinced me that he should be irish bc accent (and I'm inclined to agree)

Ok look, i know in the comics he talks (i think?) But that man is selectively mute, but then he does talk, it's nonstop.

You already know about the mothman obsession. Yes Ghost is still messing with him by acting like mothman late at night

I feel like he'd be a pretty decent self-taught mechanic, so he works on the vehicles during down time between missions

Also price is hitting him with a broom to GET OFF THE FUCKIN' FRIDGE, ROACH!!!... he's hissing back.

I'm also a huge fan of when people portray him as a habitual vent user because that's fucking hilarious.

Also he's autistic. That's just a me thing. I want him to be autistic with me. Not with me, with me, but like- you get it

RIP Gary Floyd

Gary Floyd was a painter, a photographer, an outspoken activist for the rights of queer people and a musician. Lots of listeners became familiar with his inimitable vocal presence through his work with Sister Double Happiness, a band that put out records on Reprise and Subpop. But his most forceful music and most confrontational performances were with his bluesy punk band, the Dicks; you can find my Dusted colleague Margaret Welsh’s recent review of the Dicks’ Kill from the Heart here. Out as a gay man in the early 1980s in Texas, fronting his band in drag, singing songs like “Dicks Hate the Police,” “I Hope You Get Drafted” and “Shit on Me,” Floyd took enormous risks, lived free and made hugely influential punk rock. His fearlessness won him admirers: Mudhoney and the Jesus Lizard did famous covers of Dicks songs, and the Butthole Surfers closed out Psychic…Powerless…Another Man’s Sac with a tribute to Floyd (I can also report that Bongwater was performing a face-melting cover of “Gary Floyd” in the early 90s…). Floyd also revealed some folks, who liked to chatter about human rights and freedom, for who they really were. He was a giant. At Dusted, we are saddened by his death but so very, very grateful for his music and his life. True to Floyd’s bravery, we post one of his most frank, angry songs today. Play it loud and piss some people off. Floyd would thoroughly approve.

I’m here to push the Welsh Roach agenda

and I’m gonna be insufferable about it.

Knows how to speak, read and write Welsh.

And we all know he’ll use it to cuss Ghost out.

Cymru am Byth bitches

Has a sticker of a red dragon on the flag decal on his helmet.

Doesn’t believe in the Fae per se, but is careful to be respectful anyway (you can never be too sure).

Likes to use the ice breaker “You know, i once won a rap battle against a horse head”, which thoroughly confuses people.

Who else thinks it's hilarious to see the BBC's highest paid sports pundit realise just how awesome the Welsh National Anthem is?

You want to be at the Millennium Stadium during Six Nations time, Gary bach.

I just wanted to imagine a world where Trent writes a completely under-the-radar article for Colin’s hometown newspaper to address the rumours of him being gay without making a big deal about it.

Full article text under the cut:

At 28 years of age, Colin Hughes is something of a late bloomer. After a mediocre start to his career saw Cardiff City relegated to the Championship, the Barry native was transferred to the struggling AFC Richmond, a harsh environment for any young footballer trying to make his mark on the world. But after years of flying under the radar, Hughes is finally making himself known at both national and international levels, and one can’t help but marvel at how far this young man has come.

Hughes’s love for the sport was nurtured from a young age, here in Barry, and despite his recent success it is clear he hasn’t forgotten his roots. The modest yet respectable history of Welsh football is something that Hughes could lecture on at the drop of a hat (and indeed needs to be stopped from lecturing once he gets started), and even his favoured position as a left winger was chosen in homage to Welsh footballing legend Gary Speed, a man who still acts as an inspiration for Hughes today.

“He did wonders for our national team. He was the one who made us all believe that Wales could hold our own against the rest of the world. I don’t think we’d be where we are today without all the work he put in: now that I can, I’m doing my best to continue what he started,” Hughes says.

Hughes’s ‘best’, in this instance, has been to fund a new development program throughout Wales, offering summer bootcamp scholarships to children from underprivileged areas. One can’t help but feel that were Speed still with us, he’d be proud of what Hughes is trying to achieve, although perhaps a little bemused at lending his name to an indeterminable breed of dog that Hughes affectionally refers to as ‘Gazza’.

“Me and my boyfriend got him from the shelter last week,” he says, showing a picture of a large but scrawny dog being embraced on both sides by Hughes and his boyfriend, one Michael Chen. “We got him to celebrate Richmond’s second place in the Prem.”

Buying a dog is perhaps an unusually tame way to celebrate for most footballers, but unusual is rather how AFC Richmond operates these days. Whilst most teams would be disappointed with losing out on winning the Premier League by the slimmest of margins, many often claiming that third place is preferable to second, both Hughes and AFC Richmond are treating their status as runners up with dignity, and no small amount of delight.

“I’m not being funny, right, but if you’d told me a year ago that Richmond’d avoid relegation, let alone make it to second place, I’d’ve said you were full of ****,” Hughes says, then apologises after a gentle reminder not to swear. “It’s gutting to miss out on winning the whole thing, of course, but we’re proud of what we’ve done. And besides, it gives us something to aim for next year.”

Hughes succinctly brings us to the elephant in the room: the recent departure of Coach Ted Lasso. Whilst Lasso himself has always maintained the humble adage that Richmond’s recent success wasn’t wholly his doing, the fact remains that the club have never before performed so well over a single season, nor so swiftly reversed their declining fortunes. One can’t help but wonder what a future without Lasso looks like. Hughes, for his part, remains optimistic.

“Coach Lasso made a real difference. Not just in how we play as a team but in how we think, how we work. That kind of change is here to stay,” he says, before adding, “plus we’ve got facetime and all that **** so it’s not like he’s properly gone. I mean I could call him right now if you want?”

But what of Hughes’ future as an international player? After making his debut for Wales a little under a year ago, and with a surprise win against Uruguay under his belt from April, surely his prospects on the world stage are looking encouraging? With Gareth Bale announcing his retirement, is there a possibility for Hughes to follow in the steps of childhood hero Speed and take over as captain of his national team?

“****,” Hughes says, once again forgetting the request to forgo swearing. “I hadn’t thought that far ahead. I mean that’s the dream, isn’t it, but I know that any of the lads on the team’d do a great job in the role. Any one of us would bring something different to the job, so who’s to say?”

It’s modest, considered statements like these that give weight to Hughes’s earlier words of change: Lasso may have moved on, but his impact on the team is here to stay. I, for one, cannot wait to see where Colin Hughes takes it from here.

Random Gareth headcanons because why not

He can speak Welsh (because I googled “what kind of name is Gareth” and discovered that both Gareth and Gwydion are Welsh names, and kids in small white midwestern towns in the 80s did not typically get “ethnic” names, it would’ve been Garrett or Gary fersure so I decided solely based on that that his family is hardcore Welsh)

He has occasionally convinced bullies that he actually put a hex on them, by telling them “have a nice day” or “don’t forget your lunch money” in Welsh. None of them have ever caught on.

He likes weird food. Dude puts peanut butter on strawberry pop-tarts. He steals his grandpa’s Necco wafers and sneakily eats them in class. Every year he tries the weirdest fried-on-a-stick food the county fair is selling.

Also if anyone dares him to try a weird food combination he will, without hesitation. Even though a few times he’s had to run away and get sick afterward he still can’t resist a weird food dare.

His dad listens to opera, and he makes up his own random words and sings along. He can hit most of the high notes too.

He never quite fit in with any group at school until he got to high school and met Eddie. A couple years later when Eddie met Dustin, Mike, and Lucas, Gareth was ridiculously jealous of them until he realized that Eddie wasn’t going to drop him just because he had some new sheepies to look after.

When he first started hanging out with Eddie, he copied everything about him (which Jeff and Grant found hilarious, and still good-naturedly tease him about).

He’s definitely the weirdo of Corroded Coffin. Not in a bad way, he’s just… weird, sometimes. Like he’ll turn to Grant out of nowhere and say something like “Nights in White Satin sounds like a love song that has a stomach ache” or he’ll tell Jeff “you smell all fluffy and purple today” and then just go about his business like he didn’t just drop some absolute nonsense that left his friends completely bewildered.

I am normal about Welsh Arthuriana the healthy amount, why do you ask

no but like I have very strong and emotionally invested opinions on how much of a limelight stealing Gary-Stu Lancelot is and I will fistfight the ghost of Chretien de Troyes himself in a McDonald's parking lot over this

what do you mean Arthur used to be 100x times cooler in pre-Galfridian sources than he is in the French romances. I feel ROBBED.
