i hope everyone knows that in all of roach’s missions, he has a pebble in his boots. i put it there to make his life WORSE.

[southernroach]

the reason roach didn’t get that melee kill? i made sure his knife was blunt.

roach was spotted during cliffhanger? i shot him with ten paintballs so he’s a giant orange splotch running around in the snow.

got overwhelmed with enemies during gulag? i hired 100 people to pretend to be soldiers, they aren’t even shooting at roach, they’re just there to body block him whenever he tries to run and heal.

i’m making him MISERABLE.

I love when a character wants to be someone's dog so so bad. Dont mean it in a sexual way (although that can also be a part of it) I mean like. Let me be your loyal companion let me stay by your side give me a purpose in exchange for endless unconditional love let me stop being a person love me like it's my only use. Love me like that's the only thing I was made for. As you can tell. I'm normal.

ok soooo your post about roach communicating through the radio to reboot 141 has me scratching at the glass of my horror genre terrarium!! would it be ok for me to write a fic?? itll likely be chonky with angst and longing :]

aww!! i’m super flattered that you like it but i plan on writing this myself, i’ve been thinking about this idea for a long time and i would like the opportunity to explore it more!

this goes for my other ideas too! everything i post, i plan on writing or have written and is rotting in my docs LOL

Played MW2. What a fever dream of a game.

I'm on MW4 right now and the whole series is fascinating to me because it makes me wonder. It doesn't feel that terrifying when you see European or Middle Eastern towns at war, but the imagery of that suburban America on fire in MW2 genuinely scared me, even as a person of different background who doesn't associate themselves with the country. It feels like out of the whole word those happy, white picked fence suburbs are something so sacral and untouchable that war will never reach it and when it does, even in the game, it's disturbing. I feel like people would think that the plot lines are too polarising, and I am almost sure that I saw discussions about it before, but the threat is real and was real back in the day. It is just curious to me that they choose to include it at all. Something something about how western media over the years became more and more isolationist.

i’m gonna set roach in a horror thriller where he knows the universe is trying to kill him, not in a “i have bad luck” way, but in a “i’m supposed to be dead and the universe is trying to correct itself” way.

he’s not fully aware of the story but he can feel it stalking him, like it can’t reach him as long as he continues the story but he also desperately wants to break out of it to survive.

he finds himself following footsteps that he knows were his from “before” but he can’t remember when before was. paths that he’s never been through but can navigate blindfolded. can stick his hand into a dusty corner and come away with a pistol with just enough ammo to get through these guys.

but how? why does he know? why does no one else get that suffocating feeling like the story is bearing down on him?

slowly he starts to realize that things aren’t right. he gets these feelings sometimes, something like a pause but more mechanical. it’ll happen randomly but somehow always in the same spots. there’s always an urge to keep going, to move on.

somehow, roach manages to fight it enough to turn around but he doesn’t see the crumbling buildings or the bodies he’s forced to leave behind. he sees nothing. emptiness.

the longer he stares, the more the world comes back into view. but he can’t stray from the story too much so he goes. he runs and pretends he can’t feel the world being carved away to the very edge of his heels every time he takes a step.

[southernroach]

i don’t think i ever explained but the mechanical pauses are when the game saves!

the moments when roach manages to turn back and only sees black is the player restarting from a save point, roach literally watches the world load back in!

ran across your "roach as a static-filled voice in the 141 comm radios" post and spent the good portion of fifteen minutes going through your writing posts. you are very creative and amazing at portraying scenarios and emotions. i will be stalking your roach posts thank you [heart emoji] 🐯

AWW! thank you!! this is so sweet, i am endlessly happy that you enjoyed my stuff! i really like jumping around to different prompts and i’m always open to taking requests so if there’s ever one that you want to see more of, i’m always happy to write a little snippet :)

some of them will become actual fics at some point, i’ve just been busy lol

Moth Roach enchanted by the flames he is being burned in

That is all.

can i add more angst to this and make it about ghostroach?

the last thing roach sees is ghost’s burning body and his own flames in the reflection of ghost’s sunglasses.

it doesn’t hurt just yet because of all the adrenaline pumping through his body, and with his final, pain-free moments, roach thinks, “we must be a very beautiful sight.”

Roach

[southernroach]

Need to share this somewhere,

But Roach eating those weird southern fried foods, like fried coke or deep fried Twinkies. Fried icecream too but I actually like that one so it's excused.

YES!! that is home to him, leave him at a fair and his wallet will be torn to shreds.

i need him to show up to a potluck with a tray full of those burgers with krispy kreme donuts as the buns.

[official-shark-s]

What shark do you think roach from COD would be?

hmmmmmmmmmm lemme see what i can do

roach is...

A pacific sleeper shark!!

[southernroach]

i keep thinking about roach with the curse of achilles, but more specifically the scene where he actually gets submerged.

his mother pushes him fully underwater by pressing her pointer finger into the area under his ribs. he refuses to close his eyes, even as the water blurs his vision and starts to sting, until she softly says, “it’s okay. you’ll be okay.”

the pressure on his diaphragm increases and soon enough, roach finds out what it's like to be breathless before he knows what it's like to drown.

he forgets about this as he grows older. when all of his classmates skin their knees or break their bones, roach finds himself unscathed. he just comes home with dirt smeared across his face and another piece of clothing to patch up.

earning the name roach is inevitable.

of course he survives a fall. sure, the explosions make him dizzy for a bit but he's back up in no time. the mortars are the closest he ever gets to being hurt in that way.

there isn't a doubt in his mind that he'll survive, until shepherd presses a gun against his chest and pulls the trigger.
