Do… I just go obvious and say roach??😅

If you don’t want to do this for roach then I’m going abstract and saying do this for one of your oldest favorite characters of all time. The one that’s been around the longest.

But again. That’s only if you don’t want to do the ask game for Gary <3 lol

omg lskdflsdkf the desire to do both roach and master chief i slkdfjskldf AHH

lets do roachie boye 🫶🪳🫶

✨how I feel about this character✨

roach is an excellent silent protagonist to me. i really enjoy the game play of 09 MW2 and i know this is definitely me assigning a meaning that is not at all there, but i really do like the choice to make the character that you as the player are controlling while he runs around committing fuckin war crimes be totally silent. i also really like that in game theres no questioning of roach never speaking, like at the end of hornets nest after roach falls while theyre running away no one ever says "well how are we going to know where roach is/if he's coming since he cant talk" they just look for him, soap and nikolai especially are making sure they get him out alive in whatever way they can. and while i know this is absolutely just personal projection, i enjoy getting to play a game with a character who is like me in that way and nobody questions it or says its an issue, they just work with it and do everything they can for their boyfriend teammate.

i could ramble forever about how much/why i love roach so much so for the sake of brevity, he just like me fr and i love him for it 🖤

✨all the people I ship romantically with this character✨

you know, i dont think there is anyone i wouldn't ship with roach. like i of course primarily focus in my own writings on roachghost, soapghostroach, and soaproach, but i will read him with just about anyone. i genuinely dont think theres anybody i cant see roach being with somehow. he's a swtich, he'll make it work

✨my non-romantic OTP for this character✨

i love aromantic ghost & roach

✨my unpopular opinion about this character✨

honestly i think the lovely alllthequeenshorses said it best in this post: i wish people would make roach a little more fucked up! and im including myself in that 'people'! bros just as much of a war criminal as the rest of the 141, you know he has loose screws in there. like for anyone whos played the campaign of 09 MW2 like...in takedown and the hornets nest especially like. the enemies in those levels arent all adults. roach is complicit in the same fucked up actual war criminal shit the rest of the 141 is and would definitely be fucked up as a result.

✨one thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon✨

MW2 and MW3 campaign spoilers if you somehow have managed to avoid them for this long!:

honestly im not sure again that i have anything here. i dont mind that he died, because much like with ghost and soap i think the three of them getting to be together in death is important and i loved the way they all interacted with each other in canon so i dont feel like anything was too amiss i guess (for me!).

maybe if anything, i wish roach could have had both ghost and soap with him when he died. i think the fact that he got to at least be with ghost was good, and i understand why (campaign story wise) soap outlived them for a bit, but i guess if i had to pick one thing id say maybe i wish the three of them could have died together so that they never had to be apart like that, separated by the veil the way they were even if it was brief. sorry thats kinda morbid and ill always write my happy endings where they all retire together but *shrug* i really do just like the MW2 campaign, what can i say 😅
