it truly does amaze me how Scar manages to get out of literally everything with just his words it’s so funny why does he simultaneously have no swag and all the swag in the room

Sigh, head in my fucking hands, I've never played a second of CoD but your comics got me brainrotting and now I'm stuck writing a fic of my own because I'm too damn soft for soapböx content
That being said. I hope you are aware that the moment I get soft one on one König x Ghost content I will simply break down in tears. On my knees. Sobbing my eyes out.
Just the thought of Ghost having König in his hands, the realization hitting that König is so eager and willing to please not only Soap but him too? The way that König might just tilt his head a little more firmly into Ghost's hands and relax, let his eyes shut? I have too many feelings to be good for my heart, dear god
ghostkonig is so close to my heart because they're both so intense. I think konig falling so hard for ghost is gonna give his lieutenant a lot of Complicated Emotions, especially since ghost is also just coming around to the idea that he'd like konig under him as well.
but as a little tidbit from my end - I think ghost calls konig 'princess' when they're...y'know. You can choose whether he uses it in a fond or a derogatory sense.

Ooooh now I'm imagining all sorts of Danganronpa style drama for Azul's trial. So many false leads and tricks!
Someone strong (like Leona) is found dead and weighted underwater, so everyone immediately suspects the 3 merfolk. Some unintentionally specist comments get thrown around. But that's too obvious, right? There's evidence that excludes them, and the arguments go elsewhere. Who is capable of overpowering the victim, etc.? He has injuries that indicate a struggle.
Some eventual evidence indicates the cause of death was drowning. Suspicion returns to the mers. Did they work together to keep him underwater while he fought? He's so strong, it's still hard to believe. Would two of them actually be willing to die while the other wins? There are scary rumors about the Leeches. Was Azul even involved? The Leech twins start playing up their sketchiness (they're angry by this point). But there can only be one killer.
To Azul's horror, someone ignorantly mentions there were circular imprints on the victim's arm (with a picture). He was extremely cautious! There is NO WAY he left sucker marks; he even checked afterward. If they were familiar with octomers, they'd know the marks aren't even the right shape!! He's flipping out now and messes up his words. Nervous chatter has always been a trait of his. The jury ends up deciding the three of them worked together, but Azul is the killer since he had to be the one holding the victim, causing his drowning.
Azul IS the killer, but he's so upset they got all the details wrong. He did everything himself. He meticulously planned everything, accounting for the victim's UM, and krakened him. But he did not leave any of the evidence mentioned and those sucker imprints are fake 😨😡💀!! Now he's going to die looking like a fool where he wasn't.
Before Azul's punishment, Jade reveals that he figured out it was Azul before the trial. He knows him too well. He planted the main evidence because, while he cares for Azul, he has no intention of letting himself and Floyd die for him.
I like the idea that the twins remain super sketchy and intentionally misleading for all the other trials, without actually ever being the killers. They're very angry, and its their way of grieving Azul.
YES YES YES!!!! This is the vision in its entirety!!!! orz the twins continuing to be suspicious menaces even after his execution is perfect.
Azul spends the majority of the game being annoyingly kind and helpful, if only to spread goodwill and reduce the risk of being targeted. He may cut a strikingly scary figure when he's with the twins, but the truth is that he's an animal of prey at heart and he'll do whatever it takes to survive. So as nice as he seems, it's all an act to keep himself safe and on everyone's good sides. He keeps his ears to the ground, always wanting to know as much as possible, and he is genuinely helpful in the trials, if not a little pompous.
But he's so anxious. The killing game is wearing on and he desperately wants to get out of here. How is he going to keep up with the lounge if he's stuck here? This is horrible! He's losing so much business with every passing second! On the surface, Azul keeps himself composed, but beneath perfect smiles and his obnoxious flair for theatrics he's cracking.
I imagine the trial is filled with twists and turns and it's so very convoluted. It couldn't possibly be one of the merfolk, right? Anyone with enough strength could have drowned the victim. It's very possible. Azul keeps his composure up until the moment when everyone starts to suspect and turn against him. His own logic is falling apart and though he's used to quick-paced arguments and discussions in business this is different. They can't be serious. Do they all really think he's the one at fault here? Honestly, he wouldn't revert to his true form to commit murder. Come on! That's foolish.
With all eyes on him, Azul starts to break. It's suffocating to be under such intense scrutiny. Everyone's accusing him of such a monstrous thing. They're all bullies! >:( it's not fair! He's only ever been good and helpful and obedient! Sure, he may have seemed suspicious when he was with the twins, but that's just how they are as a group! It's all just an act to look intimidating, to look strong, to look untouchable. He's not a killer. He's a businessman.
He snaps when the twins don't take his side. So they're just going to bully him, too? Is that it? And from there, everyone sees the real Azul. Foul-mouthed and impolite, he's pointing and yelling, insisting that it can't be him; it could never! Why would he throw his future away just to commit a crime? Why would he make such a risk?! He's a businessman! His eyes are blown wide with delirium. He's definitely breaking into a laughing fit during the trial like how he did during his overblot. >_< he's crazed... it's haunting to see. The twins would feel bad, but he chose this. You make your mistake and you pay for it. Isn't that what Azul always says when debtors refuse to pay what they owe?
He's hysterical until he isn't. Until he can no longer be. After the vote comes in and he's declared the blackened, he gets this far-off look to him. Maybe he's reflecting. Maybe he's not. Maybe he isn't even thinking at all. No one can tell.
It's strange to see the twins without Azul. Their terrifying trio is forever down a member.

thinking about the champions fighting off a monster horde together and revali acting as link's support to make sure no monsters get the jump on him, but at some point he shoots an arrow near link with the intention of hitting a monster at the same time link turns his head to look at revali.
the arrow grazes link's face leaving a cut, and revali watches it all happen in slow motion, from the moment link starts to turn his head to the moment it draws blood and link winces. utter horror floods revali's veins so he knocks and shoots as many monsters around him and link as he can, then drops to the ground stalking over to link to check the injury.
he's snapping and spitting link for being an idiot and putting himself in the line of fire (and also gently adding healing salve to it), but inside, revali is completely horrified to have injured link. his aim is usually so precise and clean, he doesn't know how he could have made such a rookie mistake. luckily, it's a light wound... (but it could have been worse, a voice whispers in the back of revali's mind)
after the battle, they return to hyrule castle and after the debriefing with the princess, revali immediately books it to the archery range at the training grounds and starts shooting as many bullseyes as he can. his aim has never failed him, he's never hurt anyone like that, especially not link. he keeps replaying the moment link got injured because of him in his head... revali refuses to let it happen again, he can never inflict harm onto link with his craft like that ever again. he couldn't live with himself if he did.
