more ghost!Roach with accidental necromancer Soap, their first interaction !

(please ignore the fact that i can't draw the same character twice lmao)

#cod mw2 #simon ghost riley #john soap mactavish #gary roach sanderson #ghostroach #soapghost #ghostsoap #soaproach #ghostsoaproach #accidental necromancer soap and ghost roach au #i'm gonna keep pushing welsh roach i don't know why but i really like it #ooh do you think he spoke welsh to ghost when he was annoyed and ghost told him to speak english #and so when soap speaks scots and he says the same thing for the first time he has a huge internal breakdown #meanwhile roach floating above his head like 'bahahah ur never gonna rest again english man - wait fuck no pls don't cry i didn't mean it' #and soap who can also hear him on the coms being like ._. #he feels bad for ghost but also that is a life goal he can get behind #if ghost didn't want this life he shouldn't have been english #of course he also has no idea what roach is saying when he speaks welsh and roach doesn't know either when he speaks scots #but if it's against ghost it's fiiiine #they're not above pretending to have a full conversation in their respective language to mess with people #anything to have ghost sigh at them it's the funniest thing ever for them

thanks @hesbuckcompton-baby @footprintsinthesxnd @jump-wings @cody-helix02 and @merriell-allesandro-shelton for the tag!

since five people tagged me i'm gonna include a few extras bc i couldn't narrow it down to ten :) i also decided to do characters outside of hbo war since everyone knows my faves already

faramir – lord of the rings

dick grayson – dc comics

kendall roy – succession

adam kenyon – the thick of it

desmond hume – lost

nanami kento – jujutsu kaisen

varian fry – transatlantic

roy kent – ted lasso

jamie tartt – ted lasso

john constantine – comics & matt ryan

tim gutterson – justified

marjan marwani – 911: lone star

tk strand – 911: lone star

gethin roberts – pride (2014)

jesper fahey – six of crows (books only, but despite me not being a fan of the show, the casting of, and performance by, kit young was impeccable and was the perfect choice)

i think most people got tagged in this over the week whilst i was at work so i don't think anyone is left for me to tag but if you haven't done this yet, please consider yourself tagged!

#julian did a tag game #gethin roberts is so special to me #as a gay welsh man whose mother doesn't accept him gethin's story arc actually broke something inside me #so even though andrew scott isn't actually welsh it's the one time a fake welsh character hasn't annoyed me #colin from ted lasso doesn't annoy me anymore it did at first but us queers have to stick together so he's my babygirl now #i was saying in the group chat yesterday how i have two brands of men: dark and brooding or smug smartarses #and i feel like this list kind of reflects that #apart from marjan who is just iconic and above it all #and faramir who's just a sweet angel who deserves nothing but happiness in the world #they're all a little bit (a lot) fucked up though so maybe that's where the venn diagram connects #ok so the official categories are: #dark and brooding #smug smartarse #fucked up baby boy #and every single one of them fits into one or more #marjan has her own category and that's just: iconic

Ok, last random assorted headcanons before a big surprise!

Ryan was born and raised in Redshore and currently lives with his mom, step mom, and two baby sisters who are named Lila, Ellie, Amy, and Bella (in that order).

When Johnny is tired, stressed, or dealing with a lot of emotions, he will subconsciously switch to speaking Hindi instead of English because his mother taught him it as a baby and it makes him feel closer to her.

Buster wears a binder and is horrible at remembering to take it off to the point Rosita has numerous alarms on her phone to remind him.

Eddie was running the theatre while taking night classes during Sing 2 so the troupe could go to Redshore and not leave anyone behind.

Nana and Clay have been friends for years due to performing a few times together and at the same events when they were young.

Marcus does not understand like 90% of any of the music or theatre references Johnny makes, like not even close to understanding. He is pure confusion.

Meena makes birthday cakes for all the members of the troupe and will also bake things for holidays people celebrate, completely unprompted. She has a list of everyone's favourite flavors and everything.

Ash and Rosita talk to each other in Spanish a lot as they are the only two members of the troupe who are fluent in it. This also makes them the only members of the troupe to have someone else there speak the same non-english language as them.

Gunter, despite having a German accent, is Finnish. The only reason his accent is German when he speaks English is he learned English when he was living in Germany for work.

#sing #sing 2 #sing johnny #sing buster #sing ryan #sing marcus #sing ash #sing big daddy #sing meena #sing rosita #sing gunter #sing eddie #sing nana noodleman #sing clay #the moon theatre troupe #shout out to one of my older brothers who had half a conversation with me in welsh before realising it #he was so annoyed at himself when he realised he had been talking to a 4 year old who only knew english in welsh for 20 mins #to be fair to him i didn't tell him. mostly cause i sucked at paying attention #bilingual rosita my beloved #confused dad marcus for the win #marcus also does the hindi thing since he learned it for his wife and will be damned if his son never hears it around the house #sing headcanons

i do think it's kind of funny that ao3 seems to have made a blanket change to all the "mythology" tags to make them "religion and lore" (not a good change) EXCEPT the "arthurian mythology" tag, which remains intact despite a Number of people trying to get that one reworked or at least different wrangled for ages. they're like "we're taking mythology away from all the contexts where it might be applicable. and leaving it in the context where it's dubious. this is a sensible change"

#Choices Were Made #genuinely very funny that they left that one specifically #extremely annoying that they changed the others #especially the (dubiously correct) use of irish and welsh #when the Norse tag etc does not use any language except english #so it feels weirdly othering #especially because the exact translation of the irish doesn't match the english #like béaloideas is not simply 'lore'. it is far more specific than that. #so it doesn't feel like a carefully thought through change #not to mention “ancient” which. crucially. they have not used for the norse tag #so it's only the irish and welsh material that's ancient huh?? those are not living traditiona to you huh??? #it's arbitrary inaccurate and problematic #also can they stop making the Ulster Cycle tag redirect into the general tag please !!! #that's like making captain america redirect into the general mcu tag... it's a venn diagram not a circle... #i want to be able to look for other ulster cycle fics and not scroll through twenty pages of 'assorted fandom plus fairies' #which is what dominates the irish mythology as-was tag and why i never found it browseable #but the new one is like. no actually i am not writing fic of 'ancient irish religion and lore' #that's not at all what I'm writing about #i am writing about medieval irish literature #'irish mythology' was never my favourite tag but god it was better than this

Diwrnod Ymwybyddiaeth Panrywiol a Panramantaidd Hapus!

Happy Pansexual and Panromantic Visibility Day!

5 Common Misconceptions About Pansexiality by Stonewall.

A chwestiwn - oes unrhyw ffigyrau hanesyddol Cymru panrywiol/ramantaidd?

And a question - are there any pansexual/romantic historical Welsh figures?

#pansexual #wales #welsh #cymraeg #panromantic #pansexual visibility day #lgbtq+ #lgbtq #m #pride flag #pride flags #sidenote I'm annoyed again that pride cymru made a bilingual post but the Welsh is wrong #I let them know the last post but they didn't correct sigh #this is v late sorry I am v busy #and there are certainly different ways to say this in both Welsh and English #I would prefer to drop the visibility/awareness altogether and just call it pan day lol

[breninarthur]

project elvhen is fun when you think of it as someone’s fun fan project but people take it as canon and a lot of the words are borrowed from or at least inspired by real languages with no mention of them. i stumbled across a welsh word in someone's fic and the author credited that, and it's just like... welsh is a real minority language. idk.

#there are other things i disagree with about it but yeah #it's largely not that deep #just kinda annoying #to be clear im not against welsh being used - i do it myself #but its weird not to SAY hey this is welsh! #and its always risky to use languages that you don't speak #that said - anyone wants any advice on that hmu! #op

I've been reading the manga again and paid more attention to this panel.

William's home is in Pembrokeshire, which is located in Wales.

Are you telling me our boy is Welsh??

#makai ouji #william twining #this small piece of information is making me so happy #now I'm picturing William with a Welsh accent which would be more perceptible when he's tired #also William throwing insults in Welsh whenever his demons annoy him

one episode into miracle day! I have made the executive decision to stop watching miracle day

#you see the problem is that it's not good. it's bad actually #and it's got americans in it which is the last thing i need #i know i'm american but i cannot stand to hear that blond lady speak she is NOT allowed to sound like that on torchwood #and that cia guy is so gd annoying i cannot watch him #gwen is extremely pretty here though. that 'coming up' clip of her saying 'i'm welsh' and punching someone in the face was almost #enough to change my mind #but no. i feel unclean now for having watched that. to know that this is canonically what happens next is giving me psychic damage #tw #torchwood

howls moving castle audiobook while i work yay but yesterday i accdientally listened to the abridged version for like half an hour before i was like um why is this so fast paced + badly written + confusing so then i kind of spoiled the beginning of the book for myself bc i didnt want to relisten to that part -_-

#i dont really like hte film SORRY EVERYONE. SORRY #like its fine but i think the decymrification of howl is criminal #and i dont like how annoying ppl on this website act about them #anwyay yeah the way people act about howl and sophie. its giving. post i will go get from my queue in a second #especially when hes literally all messy and she cleans for him #why do abridged audiobooks exist like. it would be one thing if htey actually worked #but it just destroys all the immersiveness and was really confusing to follow #but the welsh accent in the non abridged version is not as good-_-

[shiroselia]

Now the REAL question is if even the sales will be enough to make me buy a Gen 3 Welsh

#They're so annoying cause they're the Exact area where I have enough problems with it where #I'm very No this isn't a breed for me #But there's a colour good enough where I'm like #BUT if I did? #Which is a frustrating combo lmfao #Leaning no but we'll see #I have 99 problems with the Gen 3 Welsh and 98 of them are its eyes #The last is the head in general and also the mane options being mid

[k1rishiki]

maybe it's a good thing i didn't find gundam sooner bc i DEF would have changed my name to char

#my former middle name was my mother's maiden name and i always used to hate it bc it was a surname not a given name #so i lied and said it was charlotte bc they look similar and went by charlotte or a charlotte-based nickname for years until the #transgenderism hit and the only reason i didn't instantly become 'charlie' was bc i knew a charlie irl who like. died. (he was ancient #and i barely knew him so don't worry about it) + i'd only realized it was a sought-out 'charlotte' variant from h*zbin h*tel bc i had an #irl in middle school who had me watch it and thus i had a charlie = girl connection in my mind and was deadset on a 'true neutral' name bc #i thought i was nonbinary at first and that ultimately ended up as 'gendered name in a language i don't speak' (welsh). which. not my #proudest moment to say the least. but char is a charlotte variant and a neutral one at that and. oh my god i would've called myself char in #a heartbeat bc i was also annoying about fandom at the time where i wanted Everything in my life to reflect media i enjoyed and the idea of #naming myself after a character was like. mandatory for picking a name. and i love char now and know i would've loved char then #i 100% came This Close to being actually fucking called char. oh my god. #romeo.txt

[packanalpaccaparka]

being able to speak welsh can be weird sometimes. like people make dnd characters called stuff like “hahnowhynne elfrig” and they literally just resemble those cosmic horror american atrocity type names like Kaytellenne

you know that, right? right???

#welsh language #dnd #dnd character #character creation #dnd oc #Sleve McDichael vibe to it #i’m not annoyed by it i just find it kinda funny #kinda like when a character called ‘poop butt mcgee’ is actually central to a very serious plot #except every character is like that for me

i have a note in my phone that was meant to be for keeping track of my opinions about various retellings so i could eventually do a round up and recommend them but is PURELY just me bitching about them at this point

it's fun to see the common threads in my bitchiness tho. "why the fuck is merlin ENGLISH" being one that shows up a few times

#can somebody please write a YA arthurian retelling that doesn't annoy me #there are so many merlin-focused retellings and they're nearly all bad #also the way the books interpret 'britain' compared to how it's used in medieval texts #is. hmm. let's just say there's a common theme of american authors who haven't considered geography very much #and are assuming modern borders and making things england only #just the general obliteration of wales is very noticeable #a merlin who knows classical greek but not welsh. why. #but seriously if i did a full write up of my objections to some of these it would be SO long and SO bitchy #néide has opinions about books

[oblivioustoast]

i had the amazing (and yet horrible, because it will never be reality) realization, that instead of casting fffucking christian bale as “pretty boy” howl jenkins in the english dub of howl’s moving castle, they should have cast ioan gruffudd

i’m honestly livid that i do not live in that timeline

#he would have been so much better 😩😩😩😩😩 #AND he’s welsh #god damnit… i’m so upset i feel almost cursed with this idea #cuz i was annoyed by bale’s casting before #but now i am Truly Distraught #the ppl at disney being all ‘oh we don’t have~~ pretty boys over here’ #so u chose CHRISTIAN BALE???? #if he had been whatever age he voiced thomas from pocahontas sure #but this was after he had become an action star #THATS who u pick???????? #u Disgust me

So far Gwyn is the only smart and tolerable character in this book. And he’s right. He ought to be in parliament

#poor gwyn is literally studying at Aberystwyth and seems quite smart #but he’s forced to cohabitate with these insufferable rich English teens who are constantly complaining about their surroundings to gywn #who is literally ‘the help’ #props to alan garner for making me (an American) acutely feel the pain of this welsh boy surrounded by annoying English tourists
