At one point in time, John Price has uttered the words "Christ, that scared the tits off me."
And Simon Riley has immediately grabbed his tit and shook his head, uttering a very serious: "No, it didn't. Still there, still perky."
That day, they learned that John can swing significantly faster than Simon can duck.
No no no.
Not Price with Ghost on a leash.
Not Soap with Ghost on a leash.
But Gaz with Ghost on a leash.
Think about it right? We have a man who can AND WILL choose war crimes to solve and issue. Now give him a man who follows orders for every crumb of love he can give? Baby they'd be unstoppable.
Gaz has the mind of a thorough planner, cool and collected, but will go berserk when need be. So I see Gaz using Ghost as a ace up his sleeve. Holding Ghost back for the right moment and definitely when the opposing team isn't expecting it.
In return? After the mission Simon will gladly beg for and accept whatever Gaz's perverted mind has after seeing his dog being taken off of his leash.
I kinda wanna say my two cents, but plz tell me if I'm wrong, bc I have read every poly 141 fic that has gaz available and always filter the tags tpnread those fics with more gaz and the mw2019 being one of my COD games - I think both of you are right but I'm leaning more on what Brooke said!!
Besides the race (that honestly I believe that one of the MAIN reasons) I think the lack of we not knowing his backstory of him being "normal" (he's a soldier, he's far from normal he has seen stuff) is one of the main things. Like Ghost, soap and Price are so liked bc they basically fucked up ppl that went through torture, forced murder and other things that made them fucked up, and that makes them dangerous and nice to write bc, let's be honest, their backstories are basically done u don't have to think of anything besides what thing u gonna use (and yeah in many fandoms there's always a lack of imagination and creation when given a blank character) and Konig coming instead of gaz is exactly that - he's a fucked up with tons of backstory that makes him fucked and he's nice to use (besides that he's not even in the same universe but whatever)
But I 100% agreed with both!!! Gaz is a blank slate, we know little about him besides that he trust price with his life, and he's a good person trying to enter the grey zone of war. But like create stuff of for him!! Maybe he went to the army bc his dad was one!! Maybe he wanted to cure a part of himself in the army!!! Maybe he genuinely wanted to help people but slowly finds out that nothing is at it seems!!! Make him having to make decisions that go agaisnt his morals!! Making him question every decision he makes!! Jesus making go through a deadly situation!!
He's an amazing character to just go wild and create!! And also how can u ignore those fucling puppies eyes my guy knows he's cute and he uses it!!!
(I really fucking love gaz and feel so sad that he's basically being replace all tho he was the og in the remakes)
Is it the lack of mask?? Price and Soap isn't wearing any, he's not dilf enough? Soap is babyfaced..
Seriously, they usually don't say out loud what i was thinking of.. but if you're genuinely thinking he's uninteresting but not at the fact that he's black, then what?
(I'm hyper fixating in this ship I'm sorry)
Jason: me and roy are dating.
Damian: what kind of joke is this, jason?!?!

HEADCANON
Roy likes to call Jason pet names, but like old fashioned pet names (he gives me the vibe of being an old soul) but I'm not saying sweetheart or love, I'm saying like angel, babydoll, dear and darling, lovely and stuff like that and jason doesn't know what to do with it besides blush and hide somewhere.
(Clark also does it, but we all know he does bc he was raised in a farm, and Bruce loves it and answers in kind)
And roy does it in public, in private, in whatever setting he is. Besides the normal jaybird, these are common within roy vocabulary that is meant for jason.
*in a meeting with the other bats, in the bat cave*
Jason: me and roy can handle it, no need to add more people we could be seen.
Roy: you sure, angel? I mean it looks like there's gonna be alot of them.
The bats: *some looking shocked others holding back laughter*
Jason: *blushing under the helmet and thanking that he has it on* y-yes, we can.
Roy: you the boss, babydoll.
Jason: OH MY GOD CAN YOU STOP?!?!?
Dick, Tim, Steph and duke: *laughing like crazy*
Bruce: *murmuring something about queen children*
Cass: *patting jason shoulder for support*
Damian: *looking uncomfortable*
Roy: *confused* stop what? I don't get it.
Jason: t-that ya know what I'm talking about.
Roy: I really don't, darling, you have to tell me.
Jason: *stands and walks up the stairs to the manor*
Roy: Jason?! Jason?!
Dick: *turns to roy with tears in his eyes* I think you broke him, harper.
Roy: i-
Tim: I think the pet names were too much.
Roy: but I call him that all the time!!
Steph: okay ew, don't talk about your sex live please, but tim is right maybe it's bc we all witness it.
Roy: ?????????
Duke: he's never gonna live it down between all of us.
Roy: omg Jason!? I'm sorry!! Wait wait *runs up the stairs*
Cass: he's going to sleep on the couch
Dick, Tim, Duke, steph: 100%
Damian: father, can I make a quick call before we leave?
Bruce: ??? Sure, is everything alright?
Damian: *pulling up jon contact* nothing wrong.
Damian: please do not call me your endearments while we are with my family.
Jon: *who was asleep* what!?!
Damian: I don't want to be made fun of just because you love me too much to be contained.
Jon: sure!?! Whatever you say, honey
Damian: *slightly blushing because he too can't get used to it* t-thank you, habibi
Jon: love you
Damian: I love you too *hangs up and walks back with a slight spring in his step
Soap: Lt, We are ready to leave whenever your are. Car is loaded. *image attached*

Soap: 🫡
Lt: Is that a fucking dildo?
Soap: It’s actually called a rabbit sir 😁
Lt: Where’s Price?
Soap: He’s letting Gaz and I have our own car 😮💨
Soap: HEY. WHY DID PRICE JUST SHOW UP AND TAKE THE KEYS ☹️
Bruce: *bored as fuck and is literally willing to do anything*
Hal: Hey Spooky, you look like you could use some fun. Why don’t you let me take you out for dinner? *wiggling his eyebrows, very clearly joking to get a rise out of Bruce*
Justice League: Oh fuck, I always knew Green Lantern had a death wish *they’re all exchanging looks, ready to grab Hal just in case Bats decides to break his no kill rule*
Bruce: *has found the perfect opportunity to fuck with everyone* Sure, I like to be wined and dined. You’ll be paying for dinner. *walks out before anyone questions him*
Hal: … *turns to face the rest of the Justice League* Huh, who knew it’d be that easy?
Clark: *gritting his teeth* Yeah… who knew
Barry: *scoots away from Clark due to danger feeling*
Hal: Oh my gosh, what if this is a plan to murder me! *sweating, hands gripping his hair in fear*
Clark: *under his breath* Let’s hope he gets to you before I do *glowering*
Barry: *even more scared*
Roy and Jason ship is such deep and messy relationship that one day I would like to explore.
They both have issues (no, one is not worse then the other, they have issues that are bad for them don't fight me) and it would be such a way to explore how they handle those issues together. Jason is probably a wall made of concrete that won't let anyone enter no matter what, and roy has tried to jump over the same way some people did to him when he was an addict, but he can't and roy has to live knowing that he only has less than half of Jason's heart.
Maybe one day I will write something long for them
Gaz who gets caught in a building during it falling on an operation.
Ghost who pushes him to the ground sheltering gaz's whole body with his huge frame.
Gaz who comes too with a bleeding unconscious Ghost on-top of him, and has to struggle to carry him to the safe house.
Ghost who allows Gaz to take the mask off to treat his wounds.
Gaz who realises just how pretty Ghost is, and is trying not to flush pink while stitching him up.
Ghost who falls asleep on Gaz feeling comfortable enough to do so.
Gaz who absently braids his lieutenants hair.
The rough idea of something I'm writing.
Soap didn't even get a goodbye or a text from Kyle. He heard from Price that Kyle had been requested to Farah temporarily, meaning it was when Farah said he could come back.
Soap was sad and hurt. Why hadn't Kyle said anything to him? They were best friends! They shared everything with each other. But, apparently not everything was said. He had thought that them finally being in a romantic relationship would bring them together even more, closer than ever.
It had the opposite effect.
Soap and Kyle remained...stagnant. while he got closer to Ghost and even more closer to Price, with Kyle nothing changed besides the adding the sex and the kissing. There was no new findings or sudden revelations, nothing the way that happened with the other two.
It reached a point, when the new sergeant appeared, that Kyle started to hide. He didn't spend much time together with the others, it got to a point that suddenly who was soap prank partner was the new sergeant, the one that went to the club was the new sergeant, and every single activity that he used to do with Kyle, it was done with the new sergeant.
And now...Kyle was already on the plane when Soap got to the departing zone. No words left for him, just a mere "I don't think so" said to Price.
Although Soap was perceptive, quite observant, and always in tune with his loves emotions, Soap cannot find what happened, what led to this moment, what did they do to end up like this.
Ghost knew the reason for this, but he didn't do anything about, so he was as much guilty as the other two.
And it was crushing him inside.
Ghost saw how while soap, him and Price were getting closer, keeping already formed and constructed old bonds, Kyle was being left behind, with no ways of bonding the same way they did.
The 3 of them bonded over past interactions that led to friendships, over traumas and dark moments because they had them, over being men with scars so deep. They had foundation to bond even more, but Kyle hadn't, Kyle appeared at that moment, Kyle went through the normal processes of military, Kyle had a good family, Kyle had lively a fairly uneventful life and that made him the sore thumb in their relationship because...how could they bond.
Kyle tried, oh how ghost saw the youngest sergeant try every book in the game, but the fruit of his efforts could no grow because they didn't allow him to. Ghost realized that he didn't know anything about Kyle besides what his file said. He didn't know what the man liked, what he did in his free time, his interests, his talents, his flaws. Ghost realized, as the new sergeant made way and fitted exactly in Kyle's spot, that Ghost only saw Kyle as a military asset, not as his lover or friend, he only saw Kyle's performance, nothing more.
As he watched the plane go, slightly behind soap, that they deserved this, they deserved a silent disappearance from Kyle.
Ghost heart silently crushed as he saw what they had done.
Price didn't even go see Kyle depart.
Alex had called him, scolded him that almost asked for a write up, but Price it was coming from a close friend to another, and the captain knew that he deserved that scolding and much more. Alex then passed the phone to Farah, but she spoke calmly and short, which made Price feel even worse.
"I warned you about Kyle, and I gave u an out because I would act if u hurt him and you did, I hope all that stupid effort you did was worth this out come."
He should had gone and seen Kyle depart, but he didn't feel dignified or even worth of it. Price had hurt the most fragile member of their four way relationship, after many warned about it.
He needed to get ready for Laswell disappointment, she being the one person that cautioned him the most.
Price had sworn to protect Kyle heart and mind. Kyle's anxiety was a constant barrier in his life, a reminder that he wasn't as strong as he thought he was, his feelings always easily coming to the surface. He was fragile, more than the others thought he was, and Price promise the young man that he would protect.
Look what happened.
They pushed him away, consciously or not put him in a category under them because his live was not as complicated as theirs. They created his relationship where it was 3 plus Kyle because they sometimes remember he existed. The new sergeant worsen that because this man had a similar life as them, broken by other and scarred as much them, so they pushed Kyle back fully.
They broke Kyle enough to make him excited to leave them, to not believe they loved him.
As the plane flew, Price sat on his office, tears silently running down his face, knowing that he broke a promise made to his love.
Sam to Bucky: "I should have took the serum like Steve, like you."
Bucky Stans: "OMG doesn't Sam know that Bucky was FORCED to take the serum? He didn't have a choice. Sam is so inconsiderate."
Alexei to Bucky: Makes a joke about what super serum Bucky got.
Bucky Stans: *crickets*
Ayo disables Bucky's arm during combat.
Bucky Stans: "OMG Ayo is such an ableist and a bad friend. How dare she do that to Bucky?"
Sentry/Bob takes Bucky's arm off, hits him with it then throws it across the room.
Bucky Stans: *crickets*
