Shadow-0-8

Like yall have good points a lot of the time, but it just turns into nasty arguments and insults, and gets carried away from the main point anyways. It splits the fandom and then we get no good actual content for like a month because like 4 ppl are fighting but they drag everyone into it. It just turns into a mess of accusations for no reason, and vaguely aimed posts, and ruining ppls accounts and reputations for no reason.

Graves: everyone knows this one, big party with all the shadows, an insane amount of meat. Probably bought out a store’s entire sections

Woods: I feel like he wants to party hardy but he lowkey killed his best friend(😬) with whom he would hypothetically party with, so he probably just watches David and drinks

Adler: we know this man loves his country, but he probably doesn’t even know what holiday it is. So he probably just does what he normally does

TF141: mourns their former colony

Laswell: her and her wife DEFINITELY go to the town picnic and watch the fireworks. I just know they’re a cute couple who like sit in their trunk together and cuddle

Shepherd: plots

Hesh: parties and then remembers his whole family is dead(or in pit?) and then probably drinks

Riley: barks at the fireworks

Hesh will be a big brother to anyone who lets him.

Soap is gassy

Gaz had/has his ears pierced

Laswell’s wife does her hair for her

Adler could(can?) do a backflip

Mason is scared of lizards

Graves is an only, and I’m picking up raised by a single dad, maybe not the nicest

Laswell has one sister and they’re not close at all, probably an old fight that never got resolved

Gaz is totally a brother raised by sisters to me, he was probably the baby to like 6 sisters, idk

Adler is the youngest of three, all boys. I like to think he’s the baby of them, maybe the shortest, so he overcompensates in the rest of his life

Alex Mason has one older sister, they’re not close but where when they were little and he misses it to this day

Keegan has two little sisters, he rarely sees them, but sees them more of like nieces

Park is definitely an only, probably her parents prized daughter

Lazar is probably the middle of a family of like 5 boys, definitely a chaotic household

Every part of Woods’s body hurts and he refuses to do jack shit about it, he just complains

I like to think Adler’s glasses are prescription

Graves can 100% dance

Laswell is a Fleetwood Mac fan

Hudson has all daughters and is an excellent girl dad

Hesh smokes weed

anyways

Graves: we know this man is always cold so he likes it HAWT

Adler: cloudy, like ik he wears the sunglasses but I get the vibe he thinks cloudy weather is mysterious, but he’d totally HATE the rain cause it fucks up his hair

Woods: he’s so swampy to me, idk, he likes it humid, some sprinkles, and like warm

Mason: plain blue skies, he’s so plain despite having like the craziest lore.

Gaz: this man is so windows-background-weather coded to me, he likes it sunny.

Laswell: cold, she’s winter, 100% she bundles up to go outside and hide her smoking from her wife

Images I’ve taken of the cod CW pinboard(since I’m making it in my room and maybe some of yall want to too)

(Spirit in the Sky -released in 1969- is played in the introduction where they show real world footage)

(The Stroke -released in 1981- is played in the bar with Adler and also when he pulls up in the car with Woods and Mason to confront Hudson)

(Magic Carpet Ride -released in 1968- is played in the first Vietnam callback when you’re in the helicopters)

it’s interesting how the songs add to the timeline, while im pretty sure Adler says it’s ‘68 in the Vietnam callback(meaning the song was just released) we don’t get a clear timeline for everuthint and the songs help add to that.

• They’ve kinda mentioned this in game, but he definitely smokes expensive cig brands.

• He seems like he’d be a good swimmer

• I see a lot of ppl saying he’s a womanizer but I feel like he couldn’t care less for woman. He prob sleeps around when he gets the chance, but he’s not some Smooth Operator shit.

• He can’t cook, since he would have never been taught and only eats tv meals at home, since he won’t eat fast food.

• he seems like he’d have siblings, he doesn’t give off single child vibes.

• the reeks of cigarettes, he wears cologne but you can’t smell it.

• he was a boy scout as a kid, and had all the badges

•along those lines he loved camping.

1: They started from scratch

cod games love to just play off the same damn characters, mason’s son being the next lead? His best friend being Woods but Guardians of the Galaxy edition? Genuinely dragging Woods out(we love him tho), using mind control as a theme in BO over and over and over and over, rebooting modern warfare, same criminal(kinda), same team, they can’t come up with anything new. Ghosts is something new, Ghosts not only had an entirely fictionally created antagonist, instead of just Russians, but it had a whole new team, with a whole new backstory, and a whole new goal.

2: they developed characters well.

Black ops and MW just rely on you already knowing the characters and their story, they’re minimally developed. Ghosts had completely new characters, were given a family, and eventually a team. I love Ghosts because you have a brother the whole time, you start off with your dad telling you a story. Then we join this team and the characters are developed, Keegan’s best friend dies, they struggle with their own teammate being turned against him.

3: there’s a story, a real, true story.

MW2 for example is part of a story, we get a couple characters thrown at us half assed, and a piece of a story you wouldn’t understand shit abt without playing the other games. Ghosts had everything, an exposition, a rising action, a climax, a falling action, and a resolution(minus the cheap attempt for a sequel) we learned the problem and the characters, the problem intensified, it reached a fever pitch and then “resolved.” You can play the game and JUST play the game.

why do people feel the need to address “underlying problems?” Like girl, it’s a fandom, everything’s imagined, there’s no “people mischaracterizing” like, it’s always Adler for example “he’s evil and you can’t make him a loving husband!” NEWSFLASH! HE’S A CHARACTER people can make him whatever they want, Adler could turn out to be fucking J-lo and do a god damn backflip! And people always get on the shit of like “well you read Adler wrong, he’s not this way so I don’t take you seriously” like hello?? I don’t even know you, so who cares, you’re not the ruler of all things Adler.

second people complaining about underlying racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia. Like I understand those do exist, there are posts made that are blatantly racist, and homophobic and so on. But for the most part?? Like if you think people only like the white male characters maybe get off the tag for them and go make posts for the other characters?? Like I know my blog is usually on white male characters but i just favorite those characters, that doesn’t make me racists?? Just cause Graves says some mocking shit to Mexicans I’m not “internally racist” I’m a fucking Mexican?? I will admit some characters don’t get enough love, for example, Gaz, but sadly he’s kind of a token black guy and activision doesn’t really give him enough attention (I never played MW1 reboot so maybe they did in that, but from what I’ve seen he’s just there to be pretty). And for people calling out these words, it’s like the boy who cried wolf, like I don’t take the claims of racism, or homophobia, or whatever else seriously anymore because everyone says it 24/7 like I definitely care about those things but we’ve overused it so much. And I promise you I’m not any of those things, I’m Bi myself and a raging feminist.

overall I guess the point I’m trying to make is people are kinda just making up “underlying problems” because we’re bored and they want to seem deep and it is problematic(woah am I doing it too….) because we’re all becoming numb to this accusation. We should hear “that persons a racist” and all be very alarmed because THATS NOT OKAY but we’re pointing out things that aren’t racism, or whatever else, just because we’re bored.

like we don’t need to create discourse, we can all just draw hot ladies and gentlemen and write silly little blurbs. That’s the point of a fandom, not to fight. We’re supposed to be a little community, not blaming each other for “underlying” shit every second

btw this is aimed at nobody, I promise, like I’ve been seeing so many of these, and no hate to anyone who points these things out, but I just wish we could have more positive and less accusing additions to the fandom. Like I’m sure you all have wonderful ideas.

(this image ain’t mine btw)

I couldn’t find the imagine of my favorite one(the one between Rhodes, going towards Saint Denis) so I just did this one.

*badly cookifies your Adler and Bell*

Adler: I feel like people never acknowledge this but he would smell overwhelmingly of cigarette smoke. And I feel like his clothes would smell like when you take clothes out from the bottom of the drawer, or a box, especially that sweater vest.

Woods: also cigarettes, he probably smells like sweat too, and like a musty corner

Graves: I feel like I’m gonna say they all smell like sweat, but he’d also smell like hotel bedsheets

Ghost: He’s British, so he’d smell like when you’re sweaty and you put deodorant over it so now you just smell sweat and deodorant and it’s really gross cause somehow the good smell makes it smell worse

Price: cigars and old spice. Like the first smell you think of when you think of old spice

Nikolai: okay he’d lowkey smell good, but like too strong, like if you hugged him you’d be coughing, and like a grandfathers perfume, some spices or something

Laswell: she probably wouldn’t really smell like anything, though I imagine her hair smells good, like a plain conditioner, just clwan

Frank Woods: Lost(he would fuck the smoke monster up)

Laswell: Law and order (she’d be cool as the DA or the defense attorney)

Park/Adler: FBI (Both would be the kinda miserable, kinda mean, tough love boss or higher up)

Hesh: Under the Dome (I feel like he’d be good with the people and he kinda fits the weird ass profiles of the characters)

Price: Beach Front Bargain Hunt, Renovation (I feel like he’d have good taste and like renovation, IDK[I think the beard is throwing me off])
