Hello! I love your Cosplay Guides for COD! It’s very detailed and well done! But I can’t seem to find the character I’d like to cosplay beside Soap! I even found and looked on your DeviantArt, but he wasn’t there. Would it be possible to consider adding Gary ‘Roach’ Sanderson? Thank you in advance! :)

Ah, here’s where it gets difficult as there isn’t a “canon” reboot appearance of Roach that is able to be properly broken down. A lot of the “remaster” Roach images out there are actually just using modified or “kitbashed” versions of AI NPC skins or generic MP “milsim” skins, which share a lot of the same core assets as the campaign characters in terms of clothing, plate carriers, and pouches, albiet in different configurations and colourations.

The OG trilogy doesn’t give us much to work on either as we didn’t really see more than his arms from the first person mode, and what glimpses of his body we do get, he’s wearing the same kit as the other TF141 characters as their appearance was a lot more uniform than the reboot is. The other issue with the OG trilogy is that the equipment, even in the remaster, is too low-poly and generic to really make any kind of identification of specific equipment nearly impossible.

(Post-note: This is turning into a longer response than I expected so I’ll throw this under the cut)

Personally, if I were building a cosplay for Roach that was in line with the reboot’s aesthetics, then I would start with what “theme” I want to capture based on existing trends. Looking at what the other boys have there are about three, maybe four distinct themes:

- Night Raider: the “nightwar” gear where they’re all in black and navy blue, night vision goggles, all that “going dark” angle

- Field Work: what the boys wear a lot during MW19 and MWIII, your more conventional SF look with the green, brown, and camouflage printed clothing and gear, maybe helmets or hats, etc.

- Urban Ops: essentially streetwear or civilian attire with their combat loads just thrown over the top, maybe a thinned out load for mobility or “short duration” actions. Think Soap’s tee & jeans load or what is worn during the tunnel fight in the end of MWIII.

Once you have a theme in mind, draw inspiration from the others for what Roach might have, and don’t be afraid to incorporate headcanons if you so choose.

Here’s what I would do if I were building a Roach costume, using what is known from the canon trilogy and commonly adopted fanon.

Theme: Urban Operations

Clothing:

- Ranger Green Crye G3 combat shirt, rolled up sleeves to below the elbow. UK IR flag patch on right shoulder pocket flap.

- Faded blue and torn denim jeans, single kneepad on the right knee.

- Mechanix Original gloves in Coyote Brown, cutoff the trigger finger halfway on the right glove.

Platform (vest):

- Crye CPC in coyote brown

— Condor Tactical Annex Admin pouch on the top velcro section of the vest

— 2x HSGI Twin AR Taco rifle mag pouches on the front MOLLE panel, occupying wearer’s left and centre row pairs

— Flashbang pouch occupying right row pair of the front molle panel

— Left cummerbund, running front to back: HSGI Single AR Taco rifle mag pouch, Spritus Systems GP pouch, Tactical Tailor PRC-152 radio pouch - all coyote brown

— Right cummerbund, front to back: flashbang pouch, Spritus Systems GP pouch

— Rear platebag just remains empty to accommodate a backpack when needed

— Patches: Green IR UK flag patch attached to the admin pouch

- Ronin Tactics TF Belt, coyote brown

— Left hip: ESSTAC twin pistol magazine pouch, with single HSGI AR Taco behind it

— Small of back: Blue Force Gear Micro Trauma NOW IFAK

— Right Hip: holster of some kind on a low-ride platform, suitable for a sidearm of your choosing. Recommend Safariland brand.

Headwear:

Beanie/watch cap with Opscore AMP headset over the top, half-face neckwrap in black or grey, with tinted wrap sunglasses.

Haven’t covered footwear as I have a few boots I wear personally, can’t go wrong with either Underarmour or Oakley tactical boots, or cross reference my guides and see what the others wear.

I hope this serves as a helpful guide or something to help you out with your own Roach cosplay. And believe me, if we do get a Roach character in the reboot verse you can bet that I’ll have their loadout breakdown done!

Thanks for the ask!

please share some scotty max thoughts

i’m just going to steal from some of the things i texted rand but i wanna see max and scotty cage fight because scotty would start out laughing, but then he'd have to put on a face to pretend he's still having fun with it as it goes on. meanwhile max would be deadly serious and ready to fight for permanent custody of daniel. he'd be pulling out scotty's hair and it'd be getting catty. something about scotty gives that vibe that he'd roll his eyes behind max's back if he sat down with them at the lunch table and doesn't find max interesting or funny, whereas daniel just delights in everything max says and thinks he's so funny - which is interesting to me because daniel and scotty have a pretty similar sense of humor and general demeanor, yet daniel is ✨💞🥰 about max’s personality whereas scotty seems turned off by it. scotty just doesn’t seem like he wants to give max the time of day.

#ask #i’m just fascinated by the dynamic #also i like scotty lol i actively seek out his comps and my gf (aussie skiier) has loooong indoctrinated me into liking scotty #i was a scotty appreciator by default before i knew f1 existed #so dont take any of this as scotty slander #i definitely sound hater-y toward him

Your blog is really good! I need a hiatus from uni. My major is really tough and i need a break from the city I study in. I havent been able to work out for a few weeks due to finals, and I really miss breaking a sweat. Maybe some labor in the countryside or on a summer camp will help me relax? Thx in advance 🤍

Thanks for your booking with FWK Vacations. We’re connecting you to your countryside workcation right now!

You wake up to the sound of a siren. Before you can panic, you’re smothered by another man who climbs on top of you in the predawn darkness. His armpit gets in your face, and after an experimental sniff, you test the flavour of his musk with your tongue.

The harsh light of the labourer’s cabin comes on a moment later, and you hear the Aussie-accented voice of the foreman. “Alright, you lot. Everybody up for shift.”

With a chorus of tired, twangy groans and moans as cocks slide out of holes all around the room, the crew emerges from the nightly fuckpile. You’re a cubby guy with dark hair, a cute chinstrap beard, a chubby belly, and a thick Aussie accent as you ask one of your coworkers if you can taste his dick.

Almost all the other guys on the crew are bigger, bearier, and stinkier than you, and you love it. You’re not brainy enough to really know why all you horny bears are working at the same work camp in the Australian outback, but with this many musky armpits to lick and bear cocks to suck, you don’t really care.

Enjoy your vacation!

Want to go on vacation? Drop me an ask!

Good morning. Flamingo.

🌚

You wish to study me? How, and what part(s)?

Just be careful, you might get stuck between my vast knowledge of military equipment and technology, and my vast knowledge about optical lenses and eyewear technologies.

I’d tie a safety line before you go.

As an American I’m kind of loving the aussi stuff. I avoid reading fics where they go to America(just doesn’t feel right), but somehow Australia makes sense to me? Although I feel like both would be scared of the big ass spiders and bugs lol

omg NOOOO aziraphale loves all of god's creatures. he'd laugh when the huntsmans startle him and somehow befriend a cassowary. he'd put bird feed out for the rosellas but maybe a little too much and end up with emus at his kitchen window.

crowley would roll with the local snakes, like a venomous biker gang

#ask a rat #reminder that red bellied black snakes are aussie!!!!! I KEEP FORGETTING!!!!!!!!!#good omens aussiefication

#i've seen it! I feel terrible but now i know! I know this was a thing people did.#tell me AGAIN how antisemities can see a differentiation between israel and jews as a whole and how feeling uncomfortable about this #is just the silly little jews fault. tell me #tw antisemitism #EDIT: i will not be publicly posting the video because i think it's from a more reactionary tumblr with an inflammatory title #but it very very much is real in ways that can't be fabricated and comes from a mainstream aussie source #Ask and I’ll dm you the video
