Maybe draw Rudy slapping a prick? Like maybe Graves?

yes

I can’t take Rodolfo seriously when he yells…

In game, he uses his ‘not-voiceover-voice’, i think. Not a lot of bass but still raspy-ish at times. (From Bayardo’s BTS tiktoks)

One line that gets me is “Este hijo de puta Graves. Let’s get over and stop him!” [Ghost team mission] ; He sounds like your generic anime main character (i love him for that)

And another: he goes “¡Quítate de mi camino!” [Mission 7: Close Air] where he obviously sounds irritated but his voice just isn’t as intimidating compared to Alejandro who speaks right after him. ( I have more in Mission 7 to talk abt)

Then again, he likely makes up for it in other aspects of his character. By that i mean more analyses, or headcanons stuff. (Atp its the same thing… im going insane for Rudy crumbs)

Another thing about Rudy is his friendly fire dialogue!

Rudy says “Shoot the enemy, ¡pendejo!”

I’m bringing it up because, compared to Alejandro’s dialogue (“Don’t shoot at me ¡cabrón!”), Rodolfo’s sound much more violent.

Unlike Alejandro’s words that tell you to shoot anyone but him, Rodolfo’s words have a slight focus on the fact that you can’t even shoot the correct person and has to tell you directly to shoot the enemy

I don’t know if i’m delusional (i am) but does anyone else share this sentiment…

(Yeah, i do reattach most of these to Ale since I don’t have any better characters to compare him to + they’re a package deal)

First ever post and I’m making it about Rudy. (I’ll be centering a lot around him…)

Still not over the fact that Rodolfo was all beaten up and bleeding from the head (on top of smoke inhalation) in Borderline and yet the very next day he’s driving Alejandro around to meet up with the 141 members that were sent over to Las Almas.

I believe a whole fic was made around this too. Hear me out on the fact that Rodolfo is far too stubborn for his own good and needs to ensure Alejandro’s safety even if it means going against medical advice… Alongside the fact that he might’ve not been at his full potential during the campaign either because of his injuries. (That guy even gave Ghost a whole boost to get up some terrain during the breaking Alejandro out mission I believe… is he even okay after allat???)

I noticed a wound on Alejandro. on his neck. the pictures are not perfect, it was difficult to make the video just like that.

Sooo

I think Alejandro has a cut on his neck. this is what i noticed. picture quality is not the best, I watched the video and noticed this. and I watched YouTube again.

I looked directly, all the characters have a clue like Alejandro in the same place. but no one has it. (except Graves has a small cut on his face and ear)

maybe Alejandro had a mission that was very dangerous. (Rudy be sure not happy) I'm not sure if I mean well or he has nothing. but I can't calm down because I can see it now.

beating my head against the walls in Latine

here's eight things that atp will have me immediately closing out of any fic, AleRudy edition:

1.

❌ "the los vaqueros"

ah yes the famed and feared las almas battalion of Mexican special forces. the the cowboys

✅ "los vaqueros"

✅ "the vaqueros"

2.

❌ "the los vaqueros base"

✅ "los vaqueros' base"

✅ "the vaqueros' base"

3.

❌ "corporal alejandro vargas and sergeant rodolfo parra/major rodolfo parra"

look, fuck the military as an institution and also fuck the devs for using American rank structure for members of the Mexican army but

it takes roughly 2 years in the army to advance to Corporal. the equivalent in the Mexican army is Cabo, and Google will not give me the requirements for it no matter how I ask

it takes 3-6 years to advance to Sergeant. From what I can tell, the Mexican equivalent is also Cabo (where Sargento Segundo is closer to Staff Sergeant)

it takes 10-12 years to advance to Major, the equivalent is Mayor (not the English word mayor like of a city, don't be like those white people)

it takes 22-24 years, a bachelor's degree, and officer school to become a Colonel and it takes 18-20 years and a whole mess of leadership courses nearly equivalent to a degree to become a Sergeant Major

put some goddamn respect on their names

✅ Colonel Alejandro Vargas and Sergeant Major Rodolfo Parra

✅ Coronel Alejandro Vargas and Sargento Primero Rodolfo Parra

4.

❌ Fuerza Especiales

❌ Fuerzas Especiale

this is just not understanding Spanish grammar

✅ Fuerzas Especiales ("Special Forces")

❎ Fuerza Especial ("special force")

5.

❌ Sin Nombre ("without name")

Alejandro literally corrects Soap on this one in the game

✅ El Sin Nombre ("The Nameless")

6.

❌ "Alejandro Vargas, leader of Mexican Special Forces"

the leader of Mexican Special Forces is the Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional - the Secretary of Defense - and Fuerzas Especiales is composed of three brigades, 74 independent battalions (like Los Vaqueros), 36 amphibious special operations groups. Colonels command single brigades at most.

Alejandro is capable of leading Mexican Special Forces, but it would require him to retire from the field and get more of a desk job, with far more politics than I think he'd have patience for

✅ "Alejandro Vargas, leader of Los Vaqueros - a battalion of Fuerzas Especiales stationed in Las Almas"

7.

❎ "our ancestors, the Aztecs"

look, indigenous identity is weird sometimes and I don't know enough specifics about the culture around it in Mexico to have a solid opinion, but I'm also very fucking tired of people thinking the only indigenous groups in Mexico are the Nahua (Aztecs) and Maya. if they're on the Texas border and their families have always lived there, their heritage is most likely seven different Apache nations/language groups in a trench coat with some Spanish conquistador on the side. they're most likely not related to any famous indigenous chiefs or other figures, but it's very possible they can trace their Spanish ancestry back directly to nobility

for example, I am related to absolutely none well-known Tsalagi or Kwikipa people as far as I'm aware, but I am a direct descendant of the brother of King Ferdinand the Catholic, which also means I'm a direct descendant of the guy who started the Inquisition (and now I'm Jewish (and pro-Palestine for those who want to know) so take that, colonizer)

also while Bayardo is Mexicano, Alain is Cubano, please be respectful when talking about the actors or when in their instagram lives and just. don't make assumptions y'all

8.

❎ "Los Vaqueros" is a nickname from the people of Las Almas, the battalion's actual name that is on all the paperwork and dog tags is more likely numerical or describing their role/location - like "11th Battalion" or "The Borderline Battalion" or something like that. maybe even both, like "The 11th Border Battalion"
