Holiday SAS Headcanons

You guys seem to enjoy these, and I'm enjoying writing them! These are gifts that I think the members of SAS would get their SO and how they would treat their SO in cold weather (warming them up, what food they'd make them, e.t.c.)

Mute - Mute would surprise you with a thoughtful gift...days before Christmas. He wouldn't admit it was because he was impatient and excited to see what you thought of it. He would also be the last one to want to help decorate. He enjoys the holidays, but doesn't really have the ambition to spend time hanging lights and whatnot. He might help you put ornaments on the tree if you give him the puppy dog look that melts his heart every time. If you begged him, he would be inclined to go to your best friend's ugly Christmas sweater party. As long as he puts a smile on your face, he's down for anything at the end of the day.

When it's cold out, Mute will love spending time curled up watching TV with you. As a bit of a history buff, he would enjoy seeing some of the local sights while covered in snow. Surprisingly he is oddly really good at making snowpeople, and you don't judge him for the five he built in the yard after a big snow storm. He even puts little scarves and hats on them.

Smoke - He is always going to make sure you are spoiled. He's the kind of guy to give you love coupons for Christmas and actually follow through with the items on said coupons, particularly the ones that are hands on. He would love to see you and his daughter getting along on Christmas morning, and the look on both of your faces when he surprises you both with your very thoughtful gifts. He also has a cookie recipe that honestly yields the best cookies you've ever tasted, and would love nothing more than for you to decorate them with him.

He really likes going to do things as a family with the two of you. It doesn't matter if it's ice skating, sledding, or just walking downtown and sipping hot cocoa. Of course he would be down for some really cozy cuddling on the couch. His favorite pass time would be silently laying on the couch with your head on his chest while you admire the tree you decorated all together. He wouldn't even complain in the morning when he woke up and his back hurt because you both fell asleep on the couch.

Sledge - Sledge is going to lose his mind trying to figure out what to get you. He would be stressing last minute because his mother will have him second guessing every gift he bought you, despite deep down him knowing that he got you something you will probably like. He prefers Christmas morning to be just the two of you, but will be happy to visit respective families after your personal festivities are done. He's also the type to propose on Christmas morning. You could literally buy him anything and he would be thrilled.

Sledge really likes shoveling, for no good reason other than it's good exercise, and he loves his shovel. He refuses to buy a snowblower even when you tell him he should. He made his own shovel, it looks oddly familiar...Caber 2.0? He will also insist on snowball fighting with you outside after every snow storm, and then he will make it a full time job to warm you up when you lose and your body is nearly frozen and drowned under snowballs that he pelted you with.

Thatcher - He knows how to spoil his SO to the moon and back. Whatever you like, there will be lots of it under the tree. He will also remember one jewelry store you said you liked four years ago and he will continue buying you a new piece of jewelry from that store for every occasion, even if you don't care for the store anymore. You just don' t have the heart to tell him to stop when you see how happy he is to give you the gift. He actually, surprisingly, has a thing for Christmas crafts. He will enjoy working on them together and using them to decorate rather than going to the store to buy decorations.

Thatcher won't admit it, but he loves peppermint hot cocoa and you smirk when you see empty cups in the trash can from his little secret. He will make sure your car is always cleaned off and that there's always a fire in the fireplace on exceptionally cold evenings. While not particularly fond of tech, he secretly appreciates the smart home thermostat so that he doesn't have to get off the couch and stop cuddling with you in order to turn up the heat. Really big fan of classic Christmas movies.

Who should I do next? Christmas is right around the corner and I may not have time to do more beforehand, so maybe we can look at New Year's, or who cares, Christmas headcanons are fine with me any time of year honestly.

How I imagine the SAS team would react to finding a white mask child.

Smoke, Mute, Thatcher, Sledge

They weren’t exactly pleased to find a white mask— specifically a poor child, cowering into a corner with blood smeared over the white suit.

Thatcher instantly called over coms to know what to do about a child white mask, his eyes not once leaving you or the others.

Sledge was the first to talk to you, kneeling and allowing you to trust him at your own pace. He only asked a few questions, “you hurt?”, “there any more of you?”

He mainly made sure you were okay. It tore his heart seeing such a young child standing in a fighting zone with blood all over them, not to mention on a terrorist team.

Thatcher was the second to talk to you, coaxing you to calm down and talking about how they would transport you somewhere safe and cozy.

Mute and Smoke were the ones to stay quiet, not really sure what to do or what was going on. They really only kept guard, looking for any more white masks or any possible threats.

It broke Mutes heart seeing the child so frightened. He mentioned to take the gas masks off. Seeing how you screamed when they first appeared; four humans with guns and a massive hunk carrying a sledge hammer, scary. But overall he kept quiet, not sure what to do or say.

Sledge and Thatcher were the ones talking, Smoke kept close to you. He made sure you completely comfortable with them, smiling at you and attempting to cheer you up with cheesy jokes he made up randomly.

Mute just watched, his grip on his gun not once loosening. He eventually crouched near you and Smoke and ruffled your hair in attempt to make you smile.

Once Ash had commanded them to lead the child towards the medic and truck, Smoke was the first to lead you— a gentle but firm grip on your hand as he slowly led you out. Mute on the side, covering your eyes or attempting to block your view the best he could when you passed a dead white mask.

So sorry it’s not the best, school night and I was just really bored. :(

Could i request some Thatcher x reader where they're at a bar with the rest of the SAS and Reader asks thatcher to join them in the bathroom where it wnds with thatcher bending the reader over the sink counter and fucking them?

Mike Thatcher x reader smut

First post in a good while lol. Old man Thatchers character is kinda hard, but enjoy! Gender Neutral reader

Warnings: N//SFW below, semi-public sex, no protection (he pulls out). Readers cocky.

“-then the bastard tried to act all smug, the hell else was I supposed to do?” Mike was quick to defend himself.

James had gotten on his case about the reputation he now had in pubs around the area after apparently laying into some ‘bastards’. Hearing about the throw of the pool ball made you cringe. From Mike’s story, it did sound like they deserved it at least. “Could’ve called me up!” Light laughter followed James’s comment. “I don’t blame ya, just think it’s funny.” Maybe he realized how he was getting the older man a little too riled up, backpedaling on his previous statement.

Mike took another swig of his drink, not bothering to give a response. Under the protection of the bar table, your hand slid over to his thigh. His eyes looked down at your hand, then flickered to your face. You had to bite back a little mischievous smile. He let you off the hook for a good few minutes, conversation carrying on around the table. You yourself falling victim to a few bad jokes here and there. After those few minutes though, Mike shifted in his seat, his eyes no longer looking at yours but his body language told you he was all too aware of your hand placement. You wondered if the stiffness in his body was still from his annoyance, or now from how your thumb gently rubbed against his thigh, slightly gravitating towards his crotch.

Your wrist was quickly snatched in his large hand, the tightness not enough to hurt, but enough to tell you to cut it out. Sadly, it only amused you further. His eyes turned to glare at you when even while he gripped your wrist beneath the bar, your fingers angled downwards to rub as much of his thigh as you could reach. It seemed to be enough to set him off.

“We’ll be right back.” Mike announced, suddenly standing up from his stool at the bar, his co-workers seeming stunned at the sudden movement. You didn’t blame them, not as he pulled you out of your seat as well, your heart racing in your chest, your feet barely keeping up as he brought you to the bathroom.

“That was sure bol-“ “Shut it.” The older man cut you off, pushing you into the one person restroom, quickly locking the door behind you both. “You think touching me like that back wouldn’t have any repercussions?” His voice almost as heavy as his steps as he approached you, making you walk backwards until you hit the cold surface of the sink. Your hands grasped behind you, the chill stinging against your hot palms.

Mike was always so easy to rile up. Lightable temper and years of pent up sexual frustration, a perfect target for your needs.

“You even listening to me?”

“Maybe not. But I can tell you’re stressing yourself out more than you need too.” You pointed out bluntly, a small smirk on your face as a sort of flabbergasted look crossed his face. “Let me help you?”

Something inside of him snapped, his lips smashed against yours. The scuff of his facial hair prickling against your skin. With your hot breath mingling he grunted, your lips pulling away from his. Mike’s erection, hard in his jeans, pressed into you, providing your own needy body some sort of relief.

“Turn around.” He was good at commands, you’d give him that. He gave you enough room just to push off of him and shift your body around, your stomach thankfully covered by your top, protecting you from the freezing cold surface of the sink. Your hips were pulled back in a matter of seconds, forcing you to bend down slightly, ass curved up to pressed into Mikes crotch.

“Seems like you want me too, huh?” His words mingled with his heavy breaths, his hands wrapping around your waist. In a second your bare ass was on display for him, his large hands gripping onto your skin, forcing you to arch your back up more.

Your head was foggy, you must have not been able to hear his pants unbuckling with your heavy breathing, but you could clearly hear your own desperate noises as the tip of his cock pushed up against your hole.

“Seems like you’re the one who needs help now, sweetheart.” Thatcher chuckled to himself, purposefully teasing you for a few more seconds. His hands suddenly squeezed your hips tighter before his hips snapped forward, his cock hitting deep inside you.

As his thrusts increased, your legs slowly deteriorated, your teeth sinking into your bottom lip to quiet any noises. Though there was nothing you could do about the distinct sound of his skin hitting yours.

The coil in your stomach snapping, a long drawn out noise leaving your lips as his own thrusts got sloppier. “Fuck…” You heard Mike’s strained grumbles, feeling his cock pulse inside you. He slipped out just in time to cum on you, instead of inside.

A good few minutes passed, your upper body still resting against the sink as you finally caught your breath. He had been kind enough to wipe you up without saying anything. His large fingers hooking into your bottoms and sliding them back up on you.

The silence was almost deafening as you finally let your body relax itself, pushing up on the sink to stand up straight. You turned around him, dazed yet still smug.

“Wasn’t that a good stress reliever?”

Smoke : I think Thatcher was right

Sledge : I'm surprised he hasn't marched in here to say "I told ya so"

Mute : He wouldn't do that

Thatcher : You're right, Chandar. Like often, you're 100% right. I wouldn't do that *He turns around, the shirt he's wearing says "Thatcher fooking told ya so" in the back*

[sugarbeandude]

need to see the operators do karaoke night but i specifically want to see what the SAS would do

Thatcher would need to be drunk as hell to even step in, and he'd get booed cause he doesn't even try to ing properly so it's just a big deep voice speaking out lyrics

Smoke would own the karaoke. I know his voice is the ugliest thing on earth, but it's not about voice timbres, it's about how much passion you put into it. The audience definitely screamed Smoke to sing another time

Sledge would be the most acceptable, actually. I think he can control his diaphragm and sing good, even if he's a bit drunk.

Mute would probably need 3 beers to sing in, tho he doesn't know how to sing, he does try to sing ( unlike Thatcher) mainly to impress Smoke, ha

[amagoner]

i hope to finish the 2nd chapter of there is comfort in you, and then im going to write a short that is a crossover between the r6s sas boys and 141, because i can

[enden-k]

omg enden did you see they released a till all-in cover :0

and he looks so SO SOS OS SO FUCKING GOOD ughhhh so hot and fierce TILL ONE CHANCE GIVE ME ONE CHANCE PLEASE

tills voice rlly suits it, hes perfect for punk rock type of songs ughhhh i loved his own song sm already bc of that, im obsessed w his lil growls TILL BBY I LOVE U SM AAA

also the heartbeat section in it when memories of luka resurface (not so) funnily matches the beginning of "cure" too like tills own kind of flashback, memories of ivans death resurfacing huh- R6 ptsd is real yall

its only perfect and right for till to cover hyunas song bc they have strong parallels (strong, defiant, rebellious etc) , i also think this is a taste of what will come in R7; till was numb and resigned in R6 (mizis disappearance, the alien SA, etc), his strong rebellious fighting spirit gone that he even stopped singing which is basically him walking off the ledge and not caring or even noticing hes falling to his certain death - if ivan had not stepped in and sacrificed himself

and also, i spoke abt the colors yesterday and aside from the meteor scene (aka the moment till gave up his freedom and left ivan to go back for mizi) it reminded me also of that scene where ivan watched till in that cove. his pupils dilating a symbol for the moment he fell in love; when till stood back up, his determination and fighting spirit flaring up. which is also why ivan is such a menace, stealing his pencils and crushing the flowers, anything to rile till up and make him look at him (need to stop myself before i ramble more abt them and ivan and AHHHGH)

ANYWAY that one scene came to my mind too so i think, combined w the newly released cover of hyunas song, it all points at tills rage and fighting spirit coming back full force. hes lit the final guy

Writing advice...

... About military things from a soldier

Pt. 2 / ?: Women and relationships in the military

You wanna write a story with a militaristic setting, like CoD or R6S? You wanna create a female OC, self insert or character, but you don't know where to start, if women are even allowed in the military?

Well, lucky for you or not I know what that feels like and I've also got the combat / real life experience to help ya out!

Feel free to hop in my askbox or dm's and ask questions. I'll gladly elaborate and do my best to answer in full and plenty.

Disclaimer: My experiences and knowledge are mostly based on the German military, the Bundeswehr. They may differ from those of other countries.

Happy writing y'all! :)

Are women allowed in the military?

The answer seems obvious: Yes. Most militaries around the world do allow women to enlist. Some, however, do not allow women to join the special forces, such as the SAS, for example.

Certain branches report a higher number of female soldiers than others. The US army air force and sanitation in the German military are two examples I can think of.

Some countries do allow women to enlist but forbid them from partaking in "action", such as North Korea, Sweden, Norway, Bolivia and some more.

What about misogyny by male soldiers?

In my six years of active duty I've learnt that sexism rarely occurs, but when it does, it's straight forward and nasty. Most men don't care about your gender. They treat you like you're one of them, and oftentimes even forget about the fact that you're a woman. The few times I was talked down to for my gender was blatant and hateful though; but even then, some of these opinions didn't come from within the military, but from civilians. (Cue the old granpa who saw me travelling back home in uniform and just had to tell me that women belong in the kitchen, how in the good old days women were still women yadda yadda. Yeah, I had the same look about on my face like you now.)

Appearance is important!

As is in any military. I can't speak for them though, but in my experience, light and natural make up is allowed. Nail polish and lipstick are a hard no though, albeit the latter may be allowed for special occassions. If there's one thing my comrades have taught me it's that most men in the military got no clue about make up, so you'll probs get away with more than you'd think.

The exact rules however depend on your unit and what you do. Back when I was in sanitation I'd be working a pretty standard 9 to 5. Worked in the medbay and treated patients, kept the medical archive in order, pretty normal stuff. My superior allowed us to wear small ear studs. When I got deployed to another base I was almost lynched for wearing them. Really depends on the ones in charge.

As for hairstyles: Most units are fine with anything as long as your hair is up and out of your face. Now, we didn't have to use gel to keep stray hairs at bay. It wasn't that strict. Just don't use any flashy hair accessories and hair ties that match your hair colour. Oh, and your hair must be a) one colour and b) a naturally occuring one. The length doesn't matter as long as you're not Rapunzel. If your hairstyle is anything other than a pixie cut, you will have to wear a hair net under your combat helmet.

Do men and women stay in seperate dorms?

Seperate rooms? Yeah. Seperate dorms? Nope.

Sometimes you'd have couples who shared a dorm room. It's a whole process that your superior has to give his ok to, but I honestly wouldn't recommend it. Dorm rooms aren't exactly big. You need privacy? Well, that's too bad.

If you're lucky enough you get to have a room for yourself. Depending on what branch / base you're in, the rooms will be more or less furnished. Back when I worked at the ministry of foreign affairs, my room was pretty luxurious for milutary standards: TV, fridge, sofa, bed, desk w chair, a closet and a bathroom next door. That's definitely not the standard though. We usually had to buy and bring our own stuff, like blankets, fridge, decorations, whatever you'd need to make that cold room somewhat comfy. (Wifi is also not a given. Gotta get your own connection running.)

Flings, relationships, cheating spouses... How common is it really?

They do happen, though not as often as you'd think.

It's more common to hear rumors about who has smth going with who and these rumors can get BAD. As in reputation and career ruining bad. At that point there's gonna be an order from higher up to stop talking about these rumors and punishment can be quite strict. (Speaking of rumors...Hate to say it, but the more women a unit had, the worse talking behind others backs was.)

One thing that I always found particularly disgusting were relationships between higher ups and recruits. Yes, they happen. No, they're not allowed. These things are like open secrets. If found out and proven to exist, the superiors will be held accountable by military law. Outside of basic training it may be frowned upon if a superior were to enter any kind of relation with someone of lower rank, thought not outright punishable.

As for cheating... Well, I haven't enountered any cheating myself, nor heard of it (yet). Not saying that it doesn't happen, but at least over here in Germany it's rare. It's highly frowned upon and will open you up to rumors and... Not so nice treatment by comrades. Cheating on a spouse is punishable by military law. A soldier found guilty may be demoted in rank, suffer financial losses or even get dishonourably discharged.

Hello! I love your works and I have a question. Do you possibly know any r6 fics that are like… anger filled? If that makes any sense. :) thank you!

Guess it's time for a little rec list of anger filled fics! While most of these feature anger prominently, some have a more hopeful/sweeter ending and outlook than others, cause "anger filled" is quite a general requiremnt:

Stories by @grain-crain-drain

Capitao and Caveira, about Capitao owning an orphanage

Mira/Ash but Ash is always too busy for Mira

Zofia finding her own anger-filled diary as a teen when they were cleaning out their old home

The FBI SWAT ops and Hibana going MIA during Extraction

Lion/Doc but mostly Lion regretting his actions

Montagne/Thatcher, Montagne writing letter to Thatcher and Thatcher gets angry

Lion/Doc, where Doc gets angry at Lion for being a hypocrite

Glaz/Kapkan, where Glaz and Kapkan fight about their relationship

Pulse/Jackal, but Pulse is angry at Jackal

Stories by @thedragonsarealive

Jäger crashes his helicopter and Fuze doesn't cope well

Echo takes a creative approach to revenge, no one except him is happy

Stories by @tauruscookie

Mute comes out to Vigil, who isn't very accepting at first

Vigil doesn't want to celebrate his birthday

Stories by me

Kapkan comes out to his brothers, it's rough

The SAS react to Smoke leaving for NH

Glaz has less than positive feelings about Kali and NH in general

Sledge works out his anger at Smoke for leaving Rainbow (this one is a collab with @tauruscookie and @bloodysyren)

R6S VALENTINES DAY CARDS: SAS

[doodling-doodle]

Café AU

Basically, this is a Post Canon AU that is a partial crossover with R6S. This was made with my friend, @angstkings, and they have the R6S OC’s, Matthew “Halo” Miller, a SAS sniper, and Gabrial Colt, a Texan cop.

So, first things first, Kyle was medically discharged from the military and Alex retired to take care of him and stay with him, (They were still only dating)

About eight months after they left (And went to Alex’s home in Virginia) Kyle got sick with a bad chest and throat infection, which left him mostly mute (See where Kings comes in?) 

Around two months after he got sick, Alex proposed to him.

They got married around a year later.

And this is a good point to mention the other ships: Gabe/Matt (Married), Price/Graves (Dating), Ghost/Soap (Engaged), and Alejandro/Rodolfo (Married)

After Gabe and Matt’s wedding, they (Kyle and Alex) made two big decisions: Adoption and a dog.

They have a lovely daughter named Rosalie, who’s now fifteen, and a German Shepherd named Iris (Yes, I had to change Rose’s name, but that won’t happen in my actual AU)

 They have been wanting to make their own business for a while, and have now decided to open their own café.

3, 7, 8, 14, gimme the fandom tea

Thank you!

3: screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

I don't have a screenshot for it, but it's how people perceive Roach as needed to be babied instead of having him be the soldier that he is. He's a part of the SAS and the 141, both elite teams, like what? Tbh this goes for any military character.

I know there's some in the r6s side, but i honestly forgot about them 🙃

7: what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

Ace! Yes in canon he can be really annoying and self centered, but my god the fandom makes him worse. Also reboot Ghost, don't see the hype with him what-so-ever. Though he does suck in canon too ��.

8: common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

I don't remember any common fandom opinions 🤔

14: that one thing you see in fics all the time

I haven't touched (read) a fic in a hot minute, so i don't really know what to say to this one. However i will say, we need more platonic fics/one-shots. I want to read about friendships from time to time.

[amagoner]

my clip paint license ran out so I can’t even be obnoxious and draw a bunch of SAS boys r6s x mw2 crossover shit

[chadillacboseman]

I want you to meet my R6S OC that I've finally managed to rush and finish because I have no patience.

Say g'day to Elliot Sutherland, formerly from the Royal Australian Air Force he was recruited into the SASR, same division as Mozzie and Gridlock then into R6. He's Australian Aboriginal same as myself and my father, I do have another Aboriginal OC character in the making as a fellow team-mate.

I still can't decide on a code name for Elliot. I've brainstormed Taipan (venomous Australian snake), King (reference to King Brown snake another venomous Australian snake), Sharkie or Raptor. His height is about 6'6, born in a Suburb called Cronulla in Sydney NSW. he is good friends with Mozzie, Gridlock and the SAS boys.

His uniform looks sloppy because I couldn't wait any longer to finish because I had to show you 💖💖

YES I LOVE HIM

Any ideas for his ability/gadget yet? I really like Raptor and Taipan!

Also AWESOME to see an Australian Aboriginal character, I love that.

Please, please send me more as he develops!

R6S/MW2 OC: COMA

Name: Eun-Ju Jeong or Esther Jeong

Alias: Coma

Gender: Female

Age: Approximately 32-33

Date of Birth: September 15

Nationality: South Korean

Height: 5'6 feet

Affiliations: Kortac, Republic of Korea Army, 707th SMB

Training:

PhD in Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Anatomy at SNU

9th Special Forces Brigade

707th SMB female division

Training Exercises with SAS, FBI, GSG9, and GIGN

Experience:

Deployed in [REDACTED]

Aided in war zones at Iraq

Reconnaissance missions

Biography:

In 1950, Coma's father served under the North Korean military in the Korean War. He then switched sides, hiding his family and his wife in South Korea from the dictating government. He then went back to North Korea, but was never found and officially Missing In Action. This caused Coma's mother to be in a catatonic state out of trauma. Coma's relatives and sibling had to take care of their own and supported the family with barely anything. Coma and her brother took numerous jobs until they were able to get into college. The brother immediately went into the military while Coma did research in Seoul National University. She made several outstanding successes with nerve agents and anesthetics, gaining PhDs in the process.

Over unfortunate day, Coma was sexually harassed by a co-worker of hers. Her mother wanted to silence the incident, passing it off as a bad day. Coma's brother was furious and promptly persuaded Coma to join the military. Not only to protect herself and get experience for her research, but to also find their father. Coma immediately accepted, wanting to find her father for years.

Despite many hardships and blood spilled, Coma was able to get into the 707th SMB. One of her superiors noticed her science background and suggested the higher-ups for a opportunity to use it. Coma would then be deployed in missions ranging from human trafficking to counter terrorism. One specific mission used a stronger variant of Rohypnol and was one of the most successful missions using a non lethal method. This got the attention of operator "Horangi" and recruited her to join Kortac.

At first, Coma refused, wanting to find her father first. "Horangi" made an offer to help find and rescue her father and Coma reluctantly accepted.

Psychological Report:

There's no doubt that Coma is hard-working, albeit a bit too much. Based on her backround check, she had to be the breadwinner along with her brother for her big family. During her work, she's very calloused, cold, serious, and completely focused on doing things right. Has zero time for humor or small talk and seems to always be thinking. Extremely quiet but not shy or meek, she gets very loud when angered and has scared several recruits. Her worst trait tends to be her reserved nature, very hard to get along with during training or practice.

Despite this, outside of work she's a caring, patient mother figure. Has been getting long with medics and other scientists in the field along with rivals such as Septic. Very kind to others and respectful among peers regardless of age. Surprisingly against traditional etiquette in Korea, "deserve her respect through personality, not by age" goes very strongly with her. Seemingly lowers tension for others when in the room thanks to her calm and relaxed demeanor. Special operator "König" enjoys her company and seeks her out often when feeling anxious.

Not a happy person by all means, but far from grim or moody. Is just content where she is at all times and strangely brings comfort about anywhere she goes. I joked if her perfume had any of her sedatives in it... to which she chuckled lightly and never...responded to.

- Specialist Hong-Jin "Horangi" Kim

So my friends and I have a R6 discord server and a couple weeks back we got into a discussion over why we think Thatcher has the codename he does. Some of the people in the server are British and think it’s weird how a working class northerner who canonically hates authority would willingly name himself after an authoritarian conservative politician. We ended up deciding there’s two potential options on how he got the name Thatcher: One is that it was given to him by someone else as a joke (that’s our more plausible one) and then the other (not at all canon but it’s funny) option is he just named himself after a famous British woman cuz he’s transfem and in denial about it

Uhh, I think his codename makes a lot of sense, and there's a lot of canon backing for it. Long story short, yep, he does like Margaret Thatcher, sorry.

I remember there was some nugget of information we got from Clash's... bio? Concept art? I forgot where that was originally. Anyway, the thing is that Clash has a strained relationship with him due to differing views in politics. Aka, she's left leaning and he's conservative.

Second hint about the origin of his codename is Thatcher's elite. It's called Operation Nimrod, also known as the Iranian Embassy siege, which is a real life operation. It was the first public appearance of the SAS, and there's a famous photo of Margaret Thatcher, the then prime minister of the UK, greeting/condecorating two SAS operators. It's generously implied those operators were the inspiration to create the character of Thatcher. So, in R6 canon, he would have participated in Operation Nimrod and got to meet Margaret Thatcher afterwards.

The idea that the codename was bestowed upon him as a joke (for being old, british and conservative) is a good especulation. However, if that was the case, he wouldn't have named his boat and house "The Iron Maggie", in reference to Margaret Thatcher's nickname, the Iron Lady.

My conclusion is that Thatcher is a right-winger old codger who unironically admired the infamous prime minister for several reasons (getting to know her, political leaning, being part of the army, etc). And maybe he has a bit of a kink for authoritatian older women :P
