This is an nsfw free blog dedicated to the CoD games, specifically the MW reboot, Black Ops, or Ghosts (i may write for others once i get around to the campaigns) fluff and/or angst only. I am a minor. If you send me nsfw, you will be reported and blocked.
Requests are open, don’t be shy. <3
I have an ao3 (L4xu0rii_PNG) where I write for both CoD and TMNT. My main blog, insta, and tiktok are all under the same name. (But with a period instead of an underscore.)

Hey this was a draft that i forgot to finish and some of my opinions have changed now that the mw4 reveal trailer has dropped but i still think what ive said is pertinent and is still an issue. I’ll refrain from speaking on most of them until tmrw tho bc not everyone has seen the trailer. (Semi-spoilers for the MW4 reveal trailer in the next paragraph, and actual spoilers for the trailer in my final paragraph. They are both in red.)
I do still stand by what i’ve said tho,, we deserve to see trauma actively affect ppl in CoD more often. Everything past the cut off was in my original draft.

hey btw not to shit on new cod bc i do enjoy the new games and characters for what they are and i think trying to compare the new games and the old games after the times, technology, and the teams at every studio have developed so greatly is . Bullshit. however ☝️ i mourn the fact that we no longer see the horrors and how they affect the characters anymore.
In black ops 1, Mason is very clearly traumatized and broken down by what he endured in Vorkuta. He hallucinated a dead man long after he’d escaped and the numbers haunted him after what Hudson put him through in that interrogation room.
In black ops 2, Woods is very clearly traumatized by the torture he endured after being (not intentionally) left for dead trying to kill Kravchenko via sacrificing himself, so much so that he loses his shit seeing Menendez and accidentally kills Josefina, which was essentially the straw that broke Menendez’s back and causes him to become even more hellbent on tormenting those that wronged him.
In the original MW we lose Soap and Price loses his goddamn mind. We’d dragged him for so long to a safe place, watching him slowly lose his blood and strength before it finally kills him on that table, and it’s fucking visceral. You feel like you genuinely lose a friend or brother in that moment. This, AND Makarov actually feels like a genuine threat. He’s hardly touched until his death, where he’s beaten half to death before being violently hung.
In newer CoD games, we don’t seem to see that anymore.
I shit on modern MW3 for . Many. Reasons. However, most of them are not without prompting. I was devastated by Soap’s death in modern MW3 until I did some reflecting and found that it just felt entirely hollow to me. There was so little soul in his death, and no one seemed to really give a fuck, even when they were spreading his ashes.
I don’t think their reactions are entirely unfounded, they WERE being actively shot at and had to defuse a bomb in that scene, but WHYY couldn’t have there been just a LITTLE extra 💔 and the game literally ends RIGHT AFTER his death. They don’t linger or make it a huge turning point for the characters, they just move on right after and then the game ends.
No hate to the writers for this in the slightest btw. They’re working under the constraints of the shareholders and marketing to teenagers rather than the rated audience where most of the value of CoD comes from multiplayer and warzone anyway. I just wish things were different for the franchise.
This isn’t to say that newer cod shows no trauma at all. Farah’s flashbacks are handled very well and make her a far more compelling character when we see her motives, but even then it still isn’t handled well sometimes.
Black ops 6 had a character motivated by her traumatic experiences, and most of it kind of fell flat because of how they handled it. Jane believed the CIA was responsible for her parents death and wants to dismantle it from the inside,, a little underwhelming as a motive compared to others but sure, there IS corruption in the government so it isn’t entirely unreasonable.
BUT THEN they reveal that it WASN’T a CIA operator that killed her parents, and she STILL follows through with the Cradle anyway bc of ? Her multiple personality disorder ?? The campaign left a rlly bad taste in my mouth bc of that honestly. It feels kind of bad faith in a way (im not a system so feel free to disagree with me as im obviously not the most knowledgeable but yknow).

HEYY it’s present me again lolz ty for listening to me yap,, AGAIN ill go more in depth tmrw bc i still think modern CoD has some issues with their main characters not rlly showing their traumas BUT Price being visibly devastated and in ruin post-soaps death and the killing of shepherd is a major step forward
MW4 REBOOT TRAILER SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT + THE END OF THE TRAILER
guys guysguusyys im gonna claw my skin off what do you mean ghost and price are fighting WHAT do you MEAN. AND PRICE LOOKS SO DISHEVELED HIS BEARD ??? HIS MUTTON CHOPS ??

Guys if activision and infinity ward fucks this up i cant . i will be committing several crimes of passion against the state illbomb the fucking pentagon dont playwith me october cannot come soon enough
simply the fact that different body types for women go in and out of style throughout the decades should be enough to tell you that women’s bodies are considered consumable goods under capitalism
This is a fantasy AU i think abt not much but Ghost is Soaps personal bodyguard in a fantasy setting and Soap takes it soooo personal and they hate each other until Ghost realizes Soap would be completely fine fighting on his own . Like he thought this guy was just some spoiled royal brat he had to babysit but NO !! He’s so easy it’s kinda pathetic,, Soaps supposed to be grabbing his chin rlly hard but the hand looked bad so I deleted it JUSTKNWO THAT IS WHATS HAPPENING !!!!!!!
I can only find a decent pic of the halloween ones - these come in all sorts of flavours now but growing up I'm pretty sure they were only ready salted.
As above flavour wise - common child behaviour to eat them off your fingers
These typically came in three flavours: pickled onion, roast beef, and flaming hot.
cheese puffs.
Bonus MacTavish crisp mentioned if you have seen the extended post:
my favorite genre of fictional character is like "i am terrifying to almost everyone, i'm very good at killing, i can endure anything, i've become exceptionally good at playing into my reputation, and if you try to give me positive social interaction i will react with confusion and cower in a corner like an abused animal. and i may try to shoot you. but there is also a chance i may imprint on you like a feral dog receiving its first loving touch! good luck."
The thought of Ghost having a flashback and Soap laying on him on the floor and rambling away about anything and everything to try get him distracted. Ghost likes it because the Scottish accent makes him have to actively think to process his words. It may be minutes or hours until Simon fully comes back to himself but Johnny will stay as long as it takes.
If they cuddle after, it's their business.
