"if people can pronounce x and y they can pronounce x"
People can't even pronounce my name and it's one (1) letter off the regular spelling
#Listen. I get the sentimental.#But people just fucking fail at pronouncing things or trying to sometimes.#My mom has a name that is a simple mashup of two names.#I won't say what it is exactly but she was named for her mother's first and middle names#It's super simple. It is 6 letters. The first three letters of my grandma's first name and her middle name.#And she has spent 55 years listening to people butcher a name you could EASILY pronounce by simply looking at it#I've personally heard people add syllables. Add letters that aren't there. Completely mangle her name into a different name.#Sometimes... People just don't fucking know the way a name works. Especially from a different culture.#ALSO the people you're saying 'well if they can pronounce Schwarzenegger they can pronounce x'#They can't! They can't pronounce Schwarzenegger!#They try! But unless you grew up Austrian you're probably going to struggle!#Seriously just look at how people struggle with Icelandic and Gaelic names#I grew up speaking English and I swear to God I can barely speak it!

Random CoD headcanons
Characters: Roach, Horangi and König
Roach
Mute, ever since he was a child. Knows BSL for obvious reasons and is very willing to teach.
He's still trying to teach Soap, but it's not very successful. (Inspired by hurrraaid's falconry AU and Soap struggling to learn BSL there)
May or may not be autistic, I haven't decided yet, but he probably is.
Squish his face! Squish his face!
He goes by he/him and they/them.
Definitely has freckles.
Roach and Ghost grew up together, I don't make the rules. So like 90% of the CoD fandom, I'll blatantly ignore the canon.
He's a chaotic gremlin. He hides in the vents and you can't do anything about it.
Will steal your food at lunch.
Especially if you shit talk him or people he cares for.
Roach has stolen Ghost's food for fun a couple of times and given it to Soap.
He insults you in BSL when you piss him off and you probably will not know unless you're Ghost or Price. Or Gaz maybe.
If you know BSL he'll probably tease you, because he knows most people won't understand. And because this man just loves chaos. Especially if he's the cause of it.
He's the type of person to draw on your face if you're asleep early during a sleep over.
Roach isn't as short as most people think.
Stares.
I don't think he'd be as interested in football as Price, for example, is.
He's hard to get rid of, just like a real roach. Whether's he's being super loyal or making your life hell depends on what you may, or may not, have done.
Horangi
He bites. You will never be able to change my mind on this.
He's also attempted to bite König through the mask couple of times.
Also not as short as people usually make him out to be. Still shorter than Ghost though.
New recruits are dared to put a tiger-ear headband on his head to test their bravery.
He grew accustomed to it and usually tries to ignore it.
Definitly has ADHD.
And is a nightmare to be around when he's out of his meds.
Horangi comes off as really impatient. Idk why.
He struggled with learning English.
Acts like a cat, will push stuff off of tables just because he can.
I know what I said about him not being short, but if he was he'd totally climb cupboards and shelves if he had to to reach things.
Sassy as hell for no reason.
His face looks very squishable to me. He'd probably try to bite if I tried but it'd be worth a shot.
I feel like he'd kinda hate K-Pop because of some/most of the stereotypes that come with it.
Probably should not be allowed to drive.
Total cat person.
König
He's insecure about his accent.
In addition to being (canonly) socially anxious, I think he has autism as well.
I feel like he'd go non-verbal when he's overwhelmed or having a sensory overload.
He likes making German and Austrian dishes.
He doesn't handle spice very well and almost died (at least that's what he claims) when eating Korean food once and now refuses to eat it when Horangi offers.
He gets a bit upset when people confuse Austrians for Germans, mush them together or similar. Even if it's a common thing.
König has an accent while speaking German as well, because Germans and Austrians (can) sound very different from eachother. Especially in slang and general vocabulary.
I headcanon him with blonde, shoulder-length hair.
And a scarred face.
He also has a squishable face. All three of them do.
König has freckles as well, but only in summer and only a few.
Probably has eye bags.
Also stares, but by accident.
I think König gets flustered easily, for some reason.
That's all for now! Have a nice day/night! :)
