hockey player x figureskater azurido except riddle "RIP ACE TO SHREDS!!!!" rosehearts is the hockey player purely bc i wanna see him lose his absolute shit more, esp in the "uncouth environment" of an aggressive sport
u DARE try boarding him?? take this CROSS-CHECK rigjt to the FUCKIGNECK💢💢💢💢 (he wouldnt cuz its an illegal move but whatevs man...i can dream) like imagine his 160cm self putting all that raw visceral rage that somehow flung the much MUCH taller floyd leech across a room into fisticuffs (rip🕊)
also azul trying to figure out how to maneuver on ice in general sounds kinda funny since he struggled to balance on a surfboard 💀 but i have full faith in him that he'll figure smth out since he managed to take the luck aspect out of a literal dice roll boardgame + it'd be soooo auraful of him to do those elegant loops and aerial tricks all while making it look effortless AND he knows it, so forcing himself to master figure skating = profit(for his ego)!!! to him
EXACTLYLYYYGUHHHH EDFWTLLYY EXACTLYYYY this is perfectly worded
that and i dont think the nature of hockey would appeal to a careful person whos less willing to take risks like azul? not only is it a fast-paced game but he'd probs find the rough and toughness of the sport distasteful/look down on and mock the "senseless violence" being permitted in a sport (his condescending comments piss riddle AAAWWFFFF!!!!!!)
but w/ figure skating, while still fast, the speed is completely dependent on the sole skater instead of lots of erratic factors happening all at once. i think deciding what'd look good for iceskating choreography would be too interpretative for riddle's tastes like how he has trouble doing abstract art (he can technically do it but he'd rather follow the straightforward rules hockey has), meanwhile azul thrives in conditions where all eyes are on HIM. the audience is enthralled by him and HIM ALONE
pov you are someone on the opposing team and you see this guy barreling towards you at Mach 10:
No but seriously. Riddle takes the 'contact' of 'contact sport' as a RULE. Sometimes it doesnt even look like he has his eyes on the puck but the PERSON with it.
He's 100% just That Type of Athlete to go 1000% with it. If he were playing on a field he'd end up the muddiest person on the team just by how extra he goes. He's also deceptively short... you wouldn't think a little guy like that wouldn't act like he's in a wrestling competition.
They're both control freaks but Azul is All About Self Discipline, for better and for worse, so figure skating would definitely be more up his alley— more 'wow' factor to boot (he still uses a spotlight) and I think the costumes used in figure skating competitions is another thing. Every single step of the process is overseen by HIM.
what the hell man. did u suck azuls soul out of his body and become him to write those tags.
im genuinely so soeechless... urgk.....ill TRY to sync up uueee🥲
