I was tagged in this by @mctvsh where I show you four of my fictional crushes!

Ok, so admittedly they're all military men... I think we can see a type XD

Frank Woods [BOCW]

Cullen Rutherford [DA:I]

John "Soap" MacTavish [MW]

David Mason [BO2]

BONUS:

Keegan P. Russ [Ghosts]

I have had many fictional crushes. Ranging from Fire Emblem, anime, TV shows etc. But these four are my main ones ;u;

Of course, Frank is the main main one... just look at him bro how can you not be in love with him-

So, thank you @/mctvsh for the tag! I loved seeing yours!

As for who I am gonna tag? These lovely people!! @adlerboi @adlersoldspice @angstkings @gemmahale @ohgeesoap @welldonekhushi @walder-138 @iamcautiouslyoptimistic @alexxmason & whoever else wishes to take part!

I have tried not to tag people that I've seen who've already taken part in this but if I have tagged you and you're one of the ones, sorry for the retag! <3

Reminder: be kind to yourself. Take each day as it comes. There’s only one you.

#goosethinks #I don’t usually like to bother people with my own problems #but a couple weeks ago I lost a pet after a very quick deterioration #and the past couple days have been nothing but sad #so I wanted to remind myself and also others that it’s ok to feel these emotions #they’ll pass #but you’re not less for feeling negative in any way

Be kind to yourself creatively

This post is mainly about original characters

So I wrote this sentiment in a collection of tags on a different post, but I wanted to actually write it all down in my own post.

This is the post that triggered my ramble.

On that post I put in my tags something along the lines of sharing your ocs with others helps you grow them because someone might highlight something you hadn't thought about before, which then leads to character growth. I think it then also spiralled me into saying something about making comparisons, and that when I was younger I would often find myself comparing whatever original works/characters/art I had created to other people's and that it stunted my confidence and therefore my creativity.

I suppose the reason I'm rambling about this is because I have been creating original characters for, gosh, years now and I have had a lot of time to make mistakes and I hope that I can offer advice to people who might be starting out or are just feeling a little low about their work!

So, here goes, with the full capacity of my lungs:

BE KIND TO YOURSELF CREATIVELY.

Or you'll catch a rogue Goose coming for your knees-

Seriously, be kind, because everyone has to start out somewhere and I will put money on it that no one starts out with a perfectly developed original character or works.

You're allowed to take baby steps.

You're allowed to be rough around the edges.

Never compare whatever you create to anyone else because we are all walking a different path. You may compare your newly born original character to one that has been worked on for years and therefore the comparison is unfair!

Even then, even if you compared two equally fleshed out characters to each other, the comparisons would still be unfair; you know why? Because they are individuals. No one character is the same and creativity is SUBJECTIVE.

So please, whether you've been making original characters for a long time or have only just started, remember this:

Be kind to yourself

Walk your creative path at your own pace <3

About Goose

Hello mates, just wanted to put some info out there for the app users- for anyone able, I do have an about page here!

So, the basics:

Name: Goose Age: 25 From: England Pronouns: she/her

I am a MDNI kind of blog.

Please respect this.

I also have an OC list, which can be accessed here! It is currently being worked on, so please do not mind the scarcity of it right now! For those that cannot access the link, I shall give you a short list below:

Jodie "Bell" Hall - Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

Nanette MacTavish - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Franca "Major" Lorenzetti - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Ashley "Ash" Woods - Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 & Cold War

Keith Wells - Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

My most common tags will be on this post, so go have a gander if you want - I will also probably add more tags as and when I develop this blog, as it is still relatively new. I have not been on Tumblr for over 4 years, so... yeah building up from scratch!

Thank you for taking the time to read, it's much appreciated!

Signing off,

Goose

I genuinely have so much planned for a Bell/Woods fic as well as many intertwining shenanigans with the team and other characters from that universe.

But writing is hard.

And art is harder.

#call of duty #goosethinks #frank woods #alex mason #black ops cold war #fic planning #female bell #just so much to write and so little time #I could share bits of what I’ve already written I suppose #I have a pirate au Woods #this is referencing a terminator woods au thought I had with a friend lmao

I’m sat here cuddling my little dog and I’m pretty sure I’m healing her as much as she’s healing me. She misses her brother so much and if I could I’d take away her sadness man. I bear to think she’s upset 😭

#goosethinks #Will probs delete this thought later #pets experience grief like any human #I just wish I could help through it more than I currently am

[imagoddamnonionmason]

I know I should panic about this kind of thing because fan fiction is all about growing as a writer and having fun, but I always worry that I write canon characters extremely out-of-character and that I'm a fraud lmao

like, realistically I know that's dumb to think but occasionally that thought wins out over my logic

Anyway, REMINDER TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF PEOPLE <3

I have a question, why do I not see Alex Mason as a tag? A lot of art or works or posts that have him and other characters tend to only have tags for those other characters, but not him? Unless I’m not seeing the tag and it is there. Just wondering cause now I’m like “are we not supposed to tag alex mason?’ ‘Should I stop?’

#goosethinks #black ops cold war #call of duty #like do I or do I not tag him right now #it’s probably a none thought but it’s been on my mind so #I’ve not been here long enough to quite understand the dos and donts of the fandom on this platform yet

[imagoddamnonionmason]

When I lose the wind in my sails to write, I tend to get hyped by one song because it just gives me emotion and the ability to imagine many different kinds of scenes. Then apparently by the end of it I want to write again.

It’s this

#goosethinks #honestly give it a listen #it’s such a good piece of music #tbh ludovico einaudi is just great i love most of his work #Spotify

[imagoddamnonionmason]

When I answer asks or put out little paragraphs about my ocs, characters, wips, that are a lot of words, please please please imagine in your head that I am on my feet using my entire body to explain these things to you.

I was a theatre kid. It is physically impossible for me not to be a little dramatic when explaining things I’m interested in!

Likewise, if you don’t want to imagine a person, imagine a goose flapping its wings wildly and honking emphatically at you. It’s the same thing 🪿

The good thing about writing is that sometimes you leave a wip and surprise yourself with cute stuff when you come to reread.
