i am clawing at the walls of my enclosure and foaming at the mouth . will you write ever write for Mozzie, perhaps? i love that guy so much.
i hope you're doing great, r6s really needs more fanfic writers!! i found this blog while scavenging for scraps.

alright....... so i'm finally getting to this a literal week later..... i'm so sorry anon 💀
but, anyways, porque no los dos! håvard's preoccupation with his image manifests in two forms: a desire to carefully curate every single thing he owns based entirely on his own criteria, and a desire to keep up with what's popular. while these two can clash, the former will always inform the latter; so, to his credit, while håvard can be weak to trends, he never actually buys or uses something without very carefully assessing it. whenever he buys perfumes, he will always take note of factors like the drydown, the sillage, the longevity, etc (he actually enjoys mapping out these tidbits of information).
he likes bold, spicy-fresh scents—the type that can alert people to his presence when they smell it. he doesn't care for simple things, so, yes, sometimes his colognes are strong to the point of inducing migraines (some colleagues, like grim, actively avoid him whenever he's wearing a particularly pungent one).
notes that embody him: calabrian bergamot, aquozone, pepper
perfumes i think he'd wear: sauvage by dior (i know, i know… he'd def be a sauvage dude, can't convince me otherwise), ocean rush by rayhaan, alpha by nuancielo
reply to this or send me an ask and i'll assign a siege character a perfume

now some oc writers are using the “x reader” tag and giving the excuse that “it’s just a different perspective.” it doesn’t matter if you use that tag IF YOU’RE NOT INCLUDING THE READER! YOU have your own tag, leave us alone.
the “x reader” tag exists so that readers of any background, appearance, or identity can immerse themselves in a story and feel included as the main character.
when you write a story centered around your own original character, with a defined name, personality, and often a specific appearance, you’re no longer inviting the reader to step into that role, you’re writing about your character, not the reader. that’s completely fine! writing oc content is valid and has its own space.
but misusing the “x reader” tag to gain visibility or clicks is misleading. it sets the wrong expectations and excludes readers who were looking for stories where they could truly see themselves in the narrative. if your story focuses on your oc, label it honestly.
use the “oc x canon” tag or “original character” there’s no shame in that. but please stop co-opting a space that’s meant to be inclusive and flexible for all readers, especially those who are often underrepresented in fiction. the “x reader” tag is not a blank slate for oc projection.
it’s meant to include everyone, not just your creative vision.
respect your audience. tag responsibly.
NOTE: writing in another point of view like “SHE/HE went to the market” instead of “YOU went to the market” does not count as “x reader.”
(not 100% but most of the time) don’t try to be clever or sneaky about it.
NOTE 2: by the way, regarding the second image, it’s great to see more asian, black, and mixed oc’s! but even so, that still doesn’t make it a reader insert, let alone fit the tag. the reader needs to be the main character.
i have more respect for that author than the tons of ppl who write obviously white, femme, cis, heteronormative ‘reader’ characters who are 18-25. Reader fics have never been a blank slate. the minute there’s a whiff of backstory or any forms of description, it instantly becomes an OC. the Reader is from *insert state/country here*? i’m not. the Reader puts up with an emotionally unavailable man for years? i wouldn’t. they have sex? see ya, asexuals and demisexuals. date? don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split ya, aromantic and demiromantics. afab? like Andrea Bocelli, it’s time to say goodbye to my trans sisters. Reader runs their hands through their hair? buh bye to everyone who is 3c and up. a man easily picks up the Reader? we bid adieu to the ‘2-something to do something’ delegation. the Reader eats certain foods? welp, there goes the allergy crowd and anyone with ARFID
Reader at this point usually means first person perspective.
do i read x Reader fics? yup and i keep my mouth shut unless we’re having a talk about inclusivity. because most fandoms are predominantly white, so if you don’t speak up, some people who are in an echo chamber of people who are just like them don’t realize what they’re doing.
i enjoy them for what they are, i enjoy the writing and the plot, i sit there and i just eat my food
the question to ask yourself is, does this upset me because it’s not a ‘blank slate’ or does this upset me because the ‘blank slate’ is not coded in a way that i can enjoy it and put myself in that space as the love interest? because if you didn’t have a problem until this Reader came along who didn’t look and sound like you, the problem is not the x Reader tag
this. while I agree w the original message, most “x reader” fics don’t tag themselves as “white reader” but have sneaky descriptors that portray the reader as white. and in most “x reader” fics the reader is female and in many the authors don’t even bother to tag it so. very rarely are “x reader” fics actually have a reader with no racial descriptors or are gender neutral.
the reason I don’t read fics with ocs is bc the majority of the time the oc is white. it is exhausting being in predominantly white and female spaces.
Lowkey this discourse has always felt a little racially insensitive because the answer is always to make authors who aren’t white use specific tags like xblackreader instead of acknowledging the fact that white readers are often used as the default in fanfic. I understand that when things are usually targeted towards your demographic that any variation feels strange however I think people really need to look at themselves and understand that “he ran his hand through my hair” is just as alienating to readers as “I wore my hair in multiple tight braids”
Saw the tags on your reblog. Absolutely based btw. All CoD "leftists" need to be able to at least write three paragraphs on why CoD is propaganda for the CIA and military imperialism with real world examples.
I'm genuinely tired of this "just make weird cod fanfiction" mindset here. It's kinda nuts to me that this mindset even exists because I thought everyone knew their fanfiction version of the character will never overtake the main canon version that everyone knows on a mass scale. (TY TY for the add-on)
thank YOU for making that post… i'm tired of fanfiction writers acting like their shit doesn't stink especially since so many of them deal with harmful tropes (for example what i mentioned, gender essentialism), and act like it can't possibly be propaganda because "i'm just writing what i enjoy uwu" "this is how i escape from reality" buddy your "escapism" is you writing tradwife shit for hypermasculine military men… how is that not deeply entrenched in reality
shit like that is egregious in general but so many COD fans forget that you have to be especially mindful when dealing with military media.
Okay, I can't believe we need to keep having this conversation, but apparently "leftists" in the general cod fandom aren't getting the picture! 😊😊😊
There is absolutely nothing wrong with shipping the characters, doing the yaoi and yuri, and writing dating sim fanfictions. BUT, and this is a big BUT, there is a problem if you are not analyzing the source material!
Call of Duty is propaganda, and you can not remove that fact from the characters. It doesn't matter if it's Black Ops or Modern Warfare, the fact remains that this Pro CIA and Pro Military Intervention propaganda.
Please do research about the game you claim to be a fan of. It doesn't matter if you "don't do politics" if you are not critical of propaganda you will spread it around whether you realize it or not.
If you aren't doing research about CoD and the actual real world politics it includes, you are on the same level as the cod gamer bro who gets mad about "politics" (aka politics he doesn't agree with) being in his games.
Okay and just to clarify what I mean more.
Just because you focus on shipping the characters, and turning their story into toxic/tender yaoi (or yuri) does NOT mean you are somehow exempt from analyzing these characters.
"Hey CoD is literally pro-western imperialism, anti arab propaganda" "See that's why I make them have rowdy gay sex!!! :33333" You sound ridiculous. You are literally acting like a cod bro, but more "woke" because we're talking about fanfiction.
Again, just to make it really, really clear, if your only response to talking about the politics in cod is to make it about fanfic smut, you ARE BASICALLY A COD BRO. You are the same guy that goes "Well I like the CoD games because they say 'fuck yeah! america!!!'". Two sides of the same coin; two wings of the same bird.
(Sex appeal is literally a propaganda tactic btw that's why characters like Russel Adler and John Price are made to be so sexually appealing)
Like, I'm not saying don't write cod mlm, wlw, or whatever... I mean, one of my most popular (and hopefully soon to be ongoing) works for CoD literally has Roach x Bell tender mlm. What I mean is you need to be analyzing the fucking text and be able to say why CoD is military and CIA propaganda beyond the obvious.

when you ask your dear friend kyle to help you with your pregnancy, you expect him to donate some sperm, drive you to your ivf appointments, etc etc.
what you don't expect is him to press your knees to your chest one evening, slamming his cock so deep inside of you that you swear you can feel it entering your womb.
"s'fuckin' good for me," he groans, applying more pressure to the back of your thighs, "takin' my cock like a champ, baby," somehow he manages to thrust deeper, a soft whine leaving your lips.
he doesn't stop praising you throughout the whole ordeal, admiration entering one ear then shooting down into your body, pussy squeezing after every phrase.
such a sweet girl. absolutely perfect. gonna be such a good mama.
the way you tighten up at that last bit has kyle gritting his teeth, eyes clenched up before opening to reveal fully dilated pupils, "yeah? you like when i call you that? mama?" the word gets the same physical reaction from you, and kyle grins.
he adjusts himself, chest nearly touching yours as he raises his hips till only the tips insde. then, he slams home.
"can't wait to make you a mama. gonna ruin this cunt every day till it takes. yeah? you want that?" the drag of his cock inside of you is so distracting, addicting. you almost don't answer his question, but the high-pitched mewl he punches out of you is answer enough.
he keeps talking to you, how excited he is to watch your soft belly expand, to see your tits swell up, have your stretchmarks extend.
you hear him say something along the lines of i'll be such a good daddy, mama, jus' you wait, but you blame the cotton in your ears. after all, the only thing you can focus on is the warm feeling of his cum coating your insides and making good on his previous promises.

the spetsnaz and pet names…
cw nothing much lol just what it says on the tin. a short and sweet post while i work on one of the requests in my drafts :-)
glaz is pretty traditional about pet names.
timur's the type of guy to refer to his partner by name more often as opposed to a term of endearment, but he's not above dropping a few pet names here and there. his pet names are pretty occasional– he thinks referring to his partner by name is far more intimate in a sense, and he's not fond of how corny pet names can be (especially modern ones). he does, however, like classic terms of endearment (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). so, think "dear" or "love".
except they'll be in russian, because of course they are. while timur isn't much for poetry as he is for visual art, he does have to admit that he thinks everything sounds more heartfelt in russian. on that, if there is a russian equivalent to your name, he'll also refer to you by the given diminutive (i.e "masha" for mary or maria).
on your end, he'd much rather hear his name or his own diminutive, "tima", but he wouldn't be opposed to classic pet names. he'd honestly be touched if you called him "dear" or "darling" or anything similar. he would, however, cringe over really corny ones like "honeybun", "snookums", "babycakes"… you get the picture. he won't outright stop you, but he will tell you to keep it private. he doesn't need his comrades calling him that too– god, he can hear it in alexsandr's voice already.
pet names he'd use: милая (milaya/darling), родно́й (rodnaya) or дорога́я (dorogaya) – both are words for "dear", but it depends on how strongly he feels about you (the former is deeper, the latter is a more common term).
fuze isn't that huge on pet names.
shuhrat isn't that fond of pet names (or nicknames in general), deeming them far too corny. he's the most apathetic about them out of everyone in the spetsnaz, even– shuhrat can be pretty serious to the point of coming off as cold (which ultimately also had a hand in the dissolution of his engagement, but that's neither here nor there). he's generally just not the most affectionate man out there.
that being said, like timur, shuhrat is surprisingly sentimental about names. he's used to being referred to and known by either his callsign or his surname; his first name isn't just a name– it represents the identity he compartmentalizes away from work. anyone who's on a first-name basis with shuhrat is special to him in some way, so he'd apply that same logic to you. he'll never admit it, but it warms his heart to hear you pronounce his name, especially if you don't share his language(s). so he doesn't like pet names for himself– only his name (maybe a diminutive in private).
of course, he'll cave every now and then if terms of endearment make you that happy. he'll incorporate it into his uzbek language learning; his tentative favorites can come off as morbid but are overall very, very meaningful, so he'll only pull them out if he's deeply serious about you.
pet names he'd use: умница (umnitsa/"clever one"), more of an affectionately sarcastic one if anything; will occasionally pull this out to "praise" you if you are interested in his work in any way (like watching him tinker in his workshop). yurak (heart), ko'z (eyes), and jigar (liver)– he always gets a little embarrassed whenever he uses them; he's not used to expressing such deep devotion.
kapkan surprisingly enjoys pet names.
alright. just hear me out. remember when he called emil a "pup"? i know he meant that condescendingly, but i think it's in his general nature to be a little patronizing, especially given his seniority over a lot of the other ops. naturally, it extends to you.
in line with his hunter theme– and, again, alluding to emil– he'd favor animal-themed pet names. he'd occasionally refer to some of the younger, more inexperienced ops as "pups". grace and julien are one of the most frequent victims of this, though after what happened with deimos, maxim has since let up on the latter a little. he also used to call lera a "pup", but after she broke his nose, took to referring to her by callsign in grudging respect.
the names he'd call you would really depend on your personality. an energetic thorn in his side? pup. aloof and demanding with your affection? kitty cat. shy and a touch naïve? bunny rabbit. and so on. the names would start out as his sarcastic, patronizing little observations on you, only for his tone to gradually deepen in warmth and affection the more he's serious about you.
the only people maxim consistently refers to by name are his spetsnaz comrades; on the rare occasions he's feeling particularly affectionate, he'll even refer to them by diminutive. "sasha" or "sanya" for alexsandr, "tima" for timur, perhaps "shuh" for shuhrat. he doesn't do it intentionally like shuhrat does, but to refer to someone by first name is a true sign of intimacy for him. so when you're both truly locked in? he doesn't let the pet names go, but he would find himself calling you by name more often. he'll even refer to you by a diminutive just like he does with his friends, but only in private– that kind of nickname is the deepest form of intimacy for him.
that being said, he's kind of a hypocrite. like shuhrat, he doesn't really like pet names for himself, so just call him "maxim"; perhaps "maximka" in private or among the spetsnaz. he'll begrudgingly allow "maximochka" if you're feeling extra sweet, but he'll quickly shut that shit down if you let it slip to anyone outside your shared immediate circle.
pet names he'd use: зайчик (zaychik/bunny), котёнок (kotenok/kitten), собачка (sobachka/doggy), ласточка (lastachka/swallow), мышонок (myshónak/mousy)… you get the picture.
tachanka loves pet names.
oh, this man. he lobs terms of endearment around so easily, it's almost as if corniness is his second language. and honestly, it is. it's not as if he makes a conscious effort to be sappy– his boisterousness just inevitably transfers into his affection too, which he's absolutely brimming with. he'll loudly (and proudly) refer to fellow ops as "brothers and sisters in arms" just as often as he would use their callsigns. it doesn't matter how long he's known you; fresh recruit or a fellow veteran, as long as you're working with him, you are his comrade.
like maxim ("maximka"), alexsandr refers to the rest of the spetsnaz (and lera, who's "lerochka") by diminutives. to their shared chagrin, however, he insists on them even in public; almost as if he's a father trying to embarrass his children. and speaking of which, his actual children are probably who sparked his penchant for nicknames in the first place. he's the type of father to baby talk his kids with childish nicknames; partially because he deeply misses them, and partially because he feels guilty for not being present as much as he wants to be. it's not as if he smothers them– quite the opposite– but he tends to drown them in affection to make up for lost time.
he likes all kinds of nicknames, but he surprisingly favors cutesy ones the most. again, influenced by his children. it's either pet names like "little bee" or "sunshine" or very affectionate variants of russian diminutives (i.e "maximochka", much to maxim's horror).
oh, he loves pet names for himself, too. like come on, he's canonically the type to get a tattoo of his partner's name, so a sappy pet name is small beans compared to that. don't be shy! bring on your corniest ones, even– he'll absolutely own it. "teddy bear"? hell yeah. "my big strong man"? you're goddamn right! but you know his absolute favorite? папочка. i won't translate it– if you know, you know.
pet names he'd use: пчелка (pchelka/little bee), лапочка (lapachka/little paw), солнышко (sólnyshka/sunshine), ягодка (yagatka/little berry)
finka treats pet names like a competition.
out of everyone in the spetsnaz, she's honestly the most normal about pet names. she's not as gung-ho as alexsandr is, but she's not as much of a stick in the ass as maxim or shuhrat either. she's also not as concerned with discretion as timur is. while she mostly goes for first-name basis with friends, she'll occasionally drop nicknames here and there; olivier, for example, is "oli". elias is "el" or "eli". meghan is "meg". gustave is "gus". strangely enough, unlike her spetsnaz comrades, lera's more likely to use more "western" nicknames instead of russian diminutives– likely a habit picked up from her friends in the other units, as opposed to the spetsnaz men who tend to stick to their roots.
so of course, the same would apply to you. she'd refer to you by a similar nickname or other affectionate terms like "my friend". this is often accompanied with an equally affectionate gesture, like a hand on the shoulder (or the head, if you're shorter than her). when she realizes she has feelings for you, she'll simply amp up her friendliness and throw in sappier nicknames. think something like "baby" or "cutie" or "sweetie". she'll be so insistent with the names that sometimes, the other operatives think you two are already dating (not that she minds).
loves being on the receiving end too! she'll take it as the green light to really up her game. she even likes "cringy" pet names, they make her laugh. but her favorites are the simple kinds– maybe "lee" for "lera"; maybe "babe" or "sweetheart". she'll also be thrilled with nicknames from your native language. if you really want to impress her though, try russian pet names. it's not that she has an inherent preference for russian like the other spetsnaz operatives; it's moreso about the effort you put in. she specifically has a weakness for the term "лисичка" (little fox), as people would often refer to her by that due to her red hair.
ironically, when you guys do get together, she's a little more shy and reserved about pet names. not to the point of completely eschewing them– she'll still love teasing you with new terms of endearment– but like, it's different when she's serious about you, you know? she's used to not letting people in because of her illness, so even simple acts of tenderness– that aren't couched in the guise of jokes or flirtatious teasing– are luxuries. the flirting is fun, but what really does her in is genuine, open affection.
pet names she'd use: пупсик (púpsik/cutie), малыш/малышка (malýsh/malýshka/baby), бусинка (búsinka/little bead), кошечка (koscheka/kitten), жизнь моя (zhizn moya/my life), only when she's truly serious about you.
