#roach my beloved

Roach would be the type to have a sourdough starter that he dotes over like a child

Do it for him!

He always knows what to do with the vanilla extract

Quiet music filtered through your ears as your pen scribbled on the paper in front of you. You could hear Roach on your bed. The man had stopped by to bring you some food since you hadn’t yet had time to grab something with the paperwork that had stacked on your desk. The empty plate sat next to you, your stomach full and your motivation returned.

A gentle tap on your shoulder dragged your attention from the blurred lettering on the papers up to Roach who had come up behind you. You smiled up at him, laughing softly when he pressed his nose to your temple. “Do you need something, hun?” You ask quietly, pressing a loving kiss to his chin.

sts... hrnghrng.... what a day

whats a day thats very important to ur blorbos?

sts........ is upon us once again......... ignore how late i'm answering this

anyway this is an interesting question!!! i know i originally said i was going to answer these all for magic apocalyptica characters but i am suddenly in my Roach Feelings so i'm gonna talk about roach.

a day that's very important to roach is their birthday, which i haven't actually picked a specific date for but i imagine is sometime in early fall. why is it so important? well, because roach didn't think they'd make it this far.

without going into too much detail, aging is kind of a sore subject for roach, because for years they've been subconsciously convinced that they're going to die young. the odds were against them from the beginning, and they felt like the people around them gave up on them because of that.

each birthday is a big ol' FUCK YOU to a world that didn't think roach could make it. it's an affirmation that roach has lived another year, that they've defied others' expectations once again. each birthday is a victory.

also fun fact this is actually why roach being 29 specifically is important to the plot--their 30th birthday is a major milestone specifically, and the scene where their 30th birthday hits is one of my favorite to think about.

How do I imagine the GRS dynamic🤨? Well quite simply you see *proceeds to give you a 10 hour essay about it*

1º pic is how I love to imagine Ghost and Roach's dynamic, quite clingy to each other

2º pic - Soap and Roach are that duo that cannot be left unsupervised for more than 30 seconds - Ghost is their third wheel ALWAYS

3º pic -It says "Taking your bf on a date. Get fucked xoxo" while Roach looks evily to the camera with a middle finger and Soap is doing a peace sign. Ghost is looking very sadly to his phone.

Roach is the kind of best friend to take Soap on dates and kiss Soap just to spite Ghost

HEHE HELLO YES!!!!!

since u sent six, i will share six (6) oc inspiration facts, let's fuckin' GO

Roach was originally inspired by me just thinking it'd be funny to have an OC named Roach--they were originally meant to be kind of a one-dimensional side-character, but that plan clearly changed.

Eden is inspired by Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, but over time he's become his own character and strayed quite a bit from his original inspiration.

Henry Blackwell from Funky Mystery WIP is a slightly older OC inspired by a dream I had when I was younger about a hotshot private investigator dealing with some supernatural shenanigans.

If you trace him all the way back to his first incarnation, Knives is originally inspired by the music video for Linkin Park's song Breaking the Habit.

Juno is originally inspired by a creepypasta I listened to a narration of and thought was a bit poorly executed, even though I liked the base concept.

The Rat King is inspired by a villain in a Warrior cats-inspired story my partner and I were working on a while ago, though it's been on hiatus for quite a bit by this point oops-
