Hi hi! It's me again, i love to that i can be here for your beautiful work, now hear me out, what if, we think out of the box and look out of the animals that were familiar with, do you know what i haven't found yet? Mythical and folklore 141, a bunch of tritons falling in love with a surfer? A pack of wendigos that had been hiding until they want to be seen by dear reader? Omg such an abundance of mythical creatures to choose from! I hope it could help a bit, with love and care

~🐰❄️

Hello, love! Thank you so, so much for your kind words and the amount of inspiration you gifted me!!! I'm sorry I respond so late, I was actually thinking about your ask a lot. I wanted to collect some recommendations for you, but realized I actually don't know any fics like that? I somehow felt that I did, but either I forgot and will only remember later, or I made it up. BUT I do have one recommendation! It's not folklore, but I think it can count as mythical? It's this monster!au fic by @brineoffire that is inspired by @bluegiragi 's very famous monster!au (which I also absolutely love and recommend, but I feel like everyone already knows it lol). I also know that @forestshadow-wolf has some yummy kelpie!Soap, which duh, of course kelpie and selkie Soap fics are the finest.

However, this made me realize that I want to make a masterlist of recommendatons! So thank you for pushing me in that direction :3 Also - and that's for everyone - feel free to send recommendations of your own! I'll be happy to read and share! Self-recs are also very very needed!

Coming back to your ask directly, I actually skimmed through it at first and thought you meant tritons as amphibians and was like "hmm why not axolotls?" and then realized you're talking about mermen xD Which are always on top of my list of mythical creatures because I (in case anyone didn't notice yet) LOVE sea. And everything it holds as well. And also mermaid-adjacent oviposition.

By the way, a long time ago I saw this painting (TW!blood and gore, so not putting it here directly) by Sergei Kolesov of a whale-sized mermaid and it has been on my mind ever since, even moreso after I saw the Drowned Giant episode of Love, Death & Robots. What if they actually were of a monstrous size? If a normal, human-sized tritons/mermen with a surfer feel like a fresh, light, summery and full of laughter and sun romance, these abyssal creatures and a whale researcher (stranded in the midst of an expedition, perhaps?) would make for a hauntingly beautiful, thalassophobic story. A tiny human coming to terms with their insignificance in the face of the eternal, bottomless ocean and at the same time learning what's it like, to be loved by the abyss itself - to be cradled in hands as big as their little boat, to look in the huge eyes of a horrifyingly powerful creature and see mirrored reverence. To soothe scars left by something you'd rather not know existed, if it can harm these giants. Size difference who?

Surfer!reader and tritons/mermen of smaller size would be so fun tho. So much space for mischief and playfulness, strong tails flipping the board over, sunscreen smell mingling with salty seaweed. Drifting while you wait for a wave and feeling something brush against your hand submerged in the water - only to get grabbed by your legs next, because someone just can't leave you alone. Getting shells brought to you seemingly by the sea surf if you don't surf on a lazy waves day and stay on the beach, making sand castles. Being the wind to their waves, kissing the sunburns away from their noses, not used to being out of water so much. Making love on the beach and SUFFERING from sand everywhere. Laying on the board on your stomach and kissing the most beautiful creatures surrounding you like curious dolphins or sea otters, heads sticking out of water, scaly fingers in your hair, webbed ears fluttering adorably.

I would actually love to write a selkie story, since they are one of my most favourite sea mythical creatures and I've written multiple fairy tales about them (including a biopunk take, which I am still proud of), but I am SO sure I've seen someone metion that someone's already writing it... I'll put it in my recommendations list 100% when/if I find it. Also plugging this precious thing by @the-shotce-newsletter since I look at the chonky seal Soap almost every day for happiness boost.

(CW! dark themes including cannibalism and such in this paragraph)

I am a little hesitant to touch on the wendigos yet, since I am not sure I have enough cultural knowledge on them and I do not want to add to the harm done by popculture depictions of them, but I am a sucker for intertwining love, lust and cannibalism. Isn't one type of love exactly that - a desire to merge into one whole with your loved one, unable to be separated on atomic level? To consume, devour and celebrate the strength they gave you? Or - to give up yourself completely, to be devoured, to become that strength by burning in an insatiable stomach? What is oral sex if not cannibalism of sorts? The erotisism of letting someone to touch your heart not metaphorically, but quite literally... and the long, drawn-out way leading up to it, coming to terms with the initial horror until it blossoms into sincere desire? That is something to think about.

There's definitely a lot more to dig up in folklore. For example, the legend of Herne the Hunter? The antlers-wearing ghost keeper of Winsdor Forest, that is often linked to Celtic Cernunnos in modern re-tellings? Is reader seeking spiritual liberation in neopaganism, catching attention of the forest spirit in its hunting grounds? Or are they just enjoying the nature, not knowing yet that they're kept safe by a power as old as the oldest trees in this forest? Or! Maybe they're in a world similar to the Robin of Sherwood series (I fucking LOVE that series and I WILL cry every time I hear Clannad's theme song play)? An archer blessed by the Hunter (why not make it four Hunters? there aren't just deers roaming the forests, after all! but if I had to choose one, I'd say it's very Price coded) to fight for what's right?

Or maybe they're trolls? Cave-dwelling brutes, enchanted by your beauty so much that they take the first opportunity to steal your child, replacing it with a changeling, just to have at least some part of you close to them? What will they do though, when they find out that there's so much kindness in you that you're ready to raise the changeling, protecting the innocent troll child from the wrath of your husband that blames you for your newborn's kidnapping? Of course they have to make everything right. And also - take you away from the man that dared to be cruel to you. You'll find out that being a troll princess is much better than it seems.

Somehow I couldn't remember any suitable slavic entity that wouldn't have some already well-used counterpart (like vampires, water or forest spirits - somehow every single other one I recall is a female entity, wow, that's interesting). But I'll think on it. I like the general image of paradise birds with human faces, like Sirin, Alkonost or Gamayun (which are all female. also, I encourage everyone to check out this short animated film about Sirin, I saw it on a short animated film festival and absolutely fell in love, it's a beautiful work of art. english subtitles available!!!). So maybe the boys are of same species? Powerful, prophetic human-birds, capable both of luring anyone and bringing destruction with their voices. And you, coming to learn your destiny from them, or - offering yourself in exchange for salvation of your village. They won't take your life, but they will make you theirs. Every bird needs someone to sing to.

I do like presonifications of winds, too - not from any particular mythilogy, but just in general. After all, it's wind and sun we're caressed by the most in life, isn't it? And there are four of them, so you'll never be lonely, whatever direction breeze blows today. Living somewhere on a hill, where there's always wind rustling in your curtains, playing with your hair and drawing gentle swirls in the dust under your feet. Cool, breezy kisses on your cheeks - or pranks, when they bring a singular pocket-sized cloud to hold over your head and rain specifically on you? Do you dare to learn just how loyal the winds can be?

I think I went a little too serious, solemn and dramatic route with this. Maybe I should look into some little shits that just cause harmless chaos. But I will definitely put pins on every single idea I wrote out here - and everyone is welcome to tell me, which one you find the most interesting, what would you like to read the most; maybe you wanna expand on some of them? Or you have some completely other view on some of them? Everything's welcome! I loved thinking about it. Thank you so much for asking <3

I will also think about other COD characters in such AUs. Heh. My brain looks like a Chritmas tree right now, so many pretty lights glowing. Many tasty thoughts.

A bit of a later addition, but I suddenly remembered the Sandman (Sandmann) legend/stories/interpretation, and I am actually incredibly fascinated with him (I'm a little bit of a Hoffmann fan and I'm not talking about the Saw character for once, even though that's my babygirl too). I love the complicated relationship of humanity with sleep, dreams, nightmares and death he embodies. And honestly the eye imagery always gets me even though I don't think I mastered using it myself. Anyway, I think task force 141 as four different sides of this entity (sweet, calm sleep with nice dreams; insomnia and nightmares; heavy, restless, hot sleep like with fever/just too intense but not bad (potentially sexy) dreams; and finally, the eternal sleep, death) would be an interesting concept, but obviously it would be more fair to seek one of the German/German-speaking at least characters to take on this role. Can't really see König in this, though. But Krueger and Golem don't really strike me as Sandmann material either... and I don't remember any other German speaking guys...

We also have Orla "Banshee" Murphy in game already (one of my hardcore crushes btw, she's so my type), so, like. There's your banshee hahaha. I actually would like to try writing a banshee in special forces... or maybe IRA... they'd make a powerful enemy I think. With her destructive tendencies (I told you she's my type) that would suit her so well.

Also on the topic of my operator crushes (help, I'm really trying to stay on topic here) I am literally obsessed with Raptor (Natalya Orlova). I don't know what folclore entity she could be (well, could always make her Baba Yaga, but I'm afraid I see our little Yaga as too harmless of an entity, all those films I watched in childhood made her too lovable to me), but she would be fucking terrifying. She's from Kamchatka, and I am unfortunately not too well-versed in the mythology there, but my quick research told me that in that region people have a six-legged white bear demon Kochatko - considering that her bio states she single-handedly killed a white bear proving her hunter father wrong, that would honestly be a great ballad of a hero slaying the monster to take its place. Like Schwartz's "Dragon" play, but this time we spin it as a good thing, empowerment and reclaming of identity and shit. I'm already so far in this yapping aren't I.

There are so many other operators from so many regions I am not even remotely familiar with in terms of culture and folklore... so many opportunities... mm...

COD Characters as Different Military Aircrafts

———

Soap -> A-10 Thunderbolt: Known for its loud and heavy gatling gun, outstanding close air support and its durability against damage. Its fierce and accurate air defense marks it as one of the best support aircrafts to exist.

Ghost -> B-2 Spirit: Advanced stealth tactics and its ability to easily evade enemy detection to reign down its deadly force makes this bomber, a ghost in the sky.

Roach -> F-14 Tomcat: Despite its air superiority and esteemed long range capabilities, the uncommon design of its “variable-sweep wings” marks it as the most distinctive and intriguing aspect of the aircraft.

Gaz -> AH-64 Apache: Designed for high survivability and equipped with advanced technological targeting components makes it one of the best air support aircrafts in active service.

Price -> P-51 Mustang: An oldie but a goodie; was the star of the show in its prime with its outstanding range of speed, maneuverability, durability, and it’s skill to adapt quickly to different conditions.

Laswell -> E-3 Sentry: Designated for surveillance, communications, and command; it’s your eyes in the sky.

Rudy -> KC-135 Stratotanker: You can always count on this aerial refueling tanker. When in need of support when you’re down, it’s got your back, always loyal to its allies.

Alejandro -> F-15 Eagle: Was built for extreme power, resilience, agility, and to display its aggressive dog-fighting capabilities proving it better than the feared oppositions. Never lost a fight protecting what it stood for.

Valeria -> F-22 Raptor: This jet’s extreme capability to fly nearly completely invisible through radars makes it dangerous in its attacks. The state of the art technological advances allows it to fool anyone who comes across, creating a perfect chance to strike and claim victory.

Graves -> V-22 Osprey: Although its dodgy components can wear the reliability of this aircraft thin, it’s service is still exceptional.

If you want a part 2, recommend some characters below for me to do next @_@

[eccentrcks]

Major Mackenzie Carver, Dr. Elizabeth Grey, Grigori Weaver, Dr. Oskar Strauss, and Stoney “Raptor One” Maddox in Official Black Ops 6 Zombies Reveal Trailer.

Currently taking a male raptor. Name ideas???

Edit: he tamed quicker than normal. Naming him Calamity

[bowlovercat]

This is a part 2, if you haven’t seen part one definitely check it out. Anyway, spoiler warning once again for the new zombies teaser!

Let’s talk about this guy. I don’t think he’s just any old guard. I think he’s the person who’s been interrogating the crew, Ernst Duffer I believe is his name on their files. Now we saw Maya kill him in the trailer but I don’t think that’s the last of him. Personally I think he’ll return as Brutus, this timelines version of him. It’s just a theory but I’ve seen some others also agree with it. Plus it would be cool to have him chase the crew down in the game. Maybe he’ll be the ester egg boss? Although I’ve been hearing some other things so I’m not sure.

It’s good to see peck again, I missed this egghead almost as much as weaver. Also carver manhandled the shit outta him. Bro weighs as much as a peanut.

It seems like we won’t be playing as him on this map, maybe a future operator.. pls treyarch. Seems like Strauss (who literally looked like a caveman in the trailer) and Peck will be the crews eyes in the sky. They’re also going to pull Richtofen’s coordinates so it makes me wonder how fast they’ll get to him? Maybe Richtofen won’t be their only enemy?

Also holy shit someone tell Weaver he’s going to get heat stroke from all those layers. Gah DAMN. Elizabeth back there only has one shirt on top of that dingy undershirt, bro pls share!

Weaver hogging all the clothes becomes even more apparent when you look at everyone else 😭But also he looks amazing, some might say I might be a little bias or whatever 🙄.

I also hope that raptor one has a bigger role in the game or at least more voice lines. I think they realized how much we liked him in Cold War, that’s the only reason I think they brought him back and had him capture in Mauer der Toten.

Also there’s going to be a bigger reveal on august 8th so I really can’t wait to see what else will be revealed. I’m so hyped.

[alpine-stromme]

It's amazing what a 9 hour layover between flights can do.

Drew this back in May! These two deserve some attention and love in my opinion! Haven't seen any fan made content for Raptor or Alpine that isn't my own work, lmao

Figured I should probably start posting what I've got

I just want a cowgirl for Christmas!

[fanartist666]

This is the wildest of niches but hear me out

Why are there no dinosaur demi humans/hybrids/shifters in those AUs/fics/bots? Especially for COD based ones? If that shit was a thing, it would be immediately weaponized and how fucking cool would it be to have a T-Rex or Utahraptor hybrid? Bonus points if its 'werewolf rules' or vampires and bat forms and they can shape shift into a slightly off looking dinosaur?

Why do we have Bunny demi humans/hybrids in COD AUs sooner than dinosaurs???

Come ON I want a dino shifter reader in a mammalian shifter 141 setting who scares the fuck out of them, simply by being naturally raptor-ish, like reader clicks and trills and whistles, even fuckin RATTLES, and they HATE it. It freaks tf out of em, maybe I'm playing favourites but fuck you this is MY scenario I do what I want with it, but Bear shifter (bonus points if he's a polar bear) Price is the most brave. Reader's involuntary vocalisations don't bother him as much as the way you look at him, you look at him like prey, and thats what puts him on the back foot, but you respect him, so he respects you. Maybe theres arrangement between the big warm bear and the constantly cool to the touch dinosaur, WHO KNOWS-

What the COD men drive

Headcanons

—————

𝗞𝗼̈𝗻𝗶𝗴

König would drive a Ford Raptor

He likes to keep it slick and clean

He definitely bought the truck because he wanted to experience off roading

You two have definitely fucked at least a couple of times in the truck

When he becomes a father he keeps a car seat in the truck along with some snacks and toys to entertain his kids, along with a portable TV in the back

yeah that whole nice and neat shit went out the window when his kids kept making messes on his truck

✧✧✧✧✧✧

𝗚𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁

Ghost drives a Chevy Silverado

He got it for adventures and off roading experience and because sometimes he needs to haul things and thought a truck would be perfect didn’t what kind as long as it hauled shit

Like König he uses his truck for date night like drive in movie theaters and sometimes picnics and sometimes quick fucks

When he has kids he sometimes cleans it out (Every Friday) because he doesn’t like to get too messy or out of hand

✧✧✧✧✧✧

𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲

Price would drive a Chevy Impala 1967

Sure he could get other cars but Price likes to keep it classy, a nice, clean sexy car like this would definitely get him some sort of love and attention

He never uses his car if he has kids, the car is a little more important and sometimes if not made right could put the kids in danger and Price rather not have that happen to him

The car was definitely to get attention from ladies at first but now he’s married it’s only to empress her

And he only bought for luxury as well

✧✧✧✧✧✧

𝗦𝗼𝗮𝗽

Soap would drive a Dodge Challenger SRT

He likes fast, he drives fast, speed limits? They’re suggestions

He bought it to be loud and gain attention he has taken it to car shows when he’s not working

He barely uses it when he has kids likes it clean and neat it’s his other child

Date nights would sometimes just be late night drives

DON’T EAT IN HIS CAR!! HE’LL MAKE YOU DO A DEEP CLEAN THE WHOLE CAR EVEN IF IT WAS JUST IN ONE SPOT!!!

✧✧✧✧✧✧

𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗷𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼

Alejandro would drive a Audi R8

Bought it for luxury

Since he works in stocks (my COD status he works in stocks now) he wanted to match everyone else in the office owning a nice and slick car

Dates night would also be late night drives and some fast food restaurants everyone now and then if he doesn’t want to dress up and go somewhere nice and if you both don’t feel like cooking

Kids? He would make sure his kids had toys and snacks in it to keep them entertained while he drives even makes sure that their is one of those portable TVs in it to make sure they’re entertained on long car trips

✧✧✧✧✧✧

AN: Sorry I’m not that good when it came to this Headcanon but more will come and be a bit better this one, I swear anyways. Have a good day/night

What cars I think COD characters would drive 🚙

Writing is too much right now, so let’s have some fun instead … remember I’m from the UK so I’m going off cars I see here/that I know. These are all manual cars, no automatics here.

Price - Price 100% drives a Land Rover Defender, driving round the Hereford lanes with his dogs in the back going for a long ass hike.

Gaz - He drives a Ford Puma ST, fast as fuck (my husband had one), mega comfy, loud full of bass for when he’s playing his favourite songs on the way home from a mission. He’d have a fun colour.

Ghost - He drives a BMW 1 series with blackout windows, I cannot see this man driving anything else.

Laswell - She’s a classy but bad ass woman so she deserves a classy and bad ass car. Nothing but the best for her. She drives a Mercedes GLE.

Graves - The epitome of USAAAAAA 🦅 … Ford F-150 Raptor lmao. Need I say more?

Rudy - Alfa Romero Giulia Quadrifogilo in this gorgeous green. 1000000%

Alejandro - Strikes me as a man who loves classic cars. He drives a re-vamped 1967 Mustang. Tell me you can’t see the Colonel driving this? Arm resting on the door, gripping the gear stick. Omgggg

Soap - Soap drives a Ford Fiesta ST, comfy car but still fast for when he drives around the Scottish highlands. He’d 100% have it in a fun colour like the blue.

[bowlovercat]

I’ve been watching the new zombies trailer over and over again. This will be a long post about it, if you haven’t seen it then spoiler warning!

I feel like them showing Weavers room in-depth like this is building towards the shared hatred that him and Edward Richtofen have for one another now. His name is etched in the wall much more deeply than anything else, and very noticeably too. Also:

Smaller things I noticed were what I think is a name “Harry”(?) etched out in the wall. There’s a rumor Weaver accidentally killed Richtofen’s son and wife. It is at least confirmed that Weaver did accidentally kill a kid in the BOCW zombies intel where he claimed he didn’t know the kid was there and was very distraught as Maxis comforted him.

The date might just be the day they were taken into the terminus facility. I just thought it stood out. Along with the saying above the coatrack thing. “I will have no dreams in breathless…(slumber?)” I can’t make out the last word quite well but slumber is my best guess.

Also just a cool note is that it appears that Weaver is actually a decent artist. Just a fun little piece of info I like to see.

I also wonder what exactly the two weapons are pointed towards? Perhaps a metaphor for Richtofen or perhaps he’s just gone insane. If anyone understands Russian and can translate the text I’d be very appreciative ❤️

Grey, Carver, and Raptor one all look amazing and surprisingly built for their situation. Then again this is cod lol. I know in Carvers report he would hold little training sessions to keep moral up so it seemed to work. Also Raptor One’s smile looks like that Mewing meme and I can’t get it out of my head. His name was allegedly revealed to be Stoney Maddox

I’m really excited for Maya and what she will bring to the story. I also want to know who her brother is and how he potentially ended up on Richtofen’s shit list. Also she’s kinda cute like 👀

Also just now found out there’s a 10 image post limit LAME. I’ll make another post, a part 2 if you will. Cause I have one more theory.
