sunny !!!

hiiiii i just started getting into metal gear like a month ago and ive been enjoying reading everyones thoughts and headcanons as i get to know the series sooo tell me about your favorite metal gear ships :3 you can just yap about any thoughts or headcanons you have about them (and also maybe if you have any headcanons about any of the characters sexualities?)

hi! thank u so much for this, welcome to the fandom, you’ve already made some banger posts haha. if i start getting into all my hcs this post will be wayyy too long (and i will end up talking about those at some point anyways) so i’ll just give my general overview of how i see each, plus a “theme song” because i am addicted to My Playlists. under readmore bc i am Unhinged and this is Unbearably Long

ships

otasune - THE mgs ship of all time. only pure and stable relationship in the series. those guys were so in love and needed eachother so bad in many ways. their gay love really did save the world. lots to say about them but i keep writing too much and deleting it but if i may emphasize one thing it’s that the end of mgs4 is BASICALLY A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL? can everyone get more insane about this please? theme song: night sky patrol of tomorrow by orangestar ft ia (despite being vocaloid, this is snake pov)

bosselot - i love unrequited love. the only thing better than unrequited love is bonkerballs crazy unrequited love. and that’s what bosselot is. everyone needs to start playing with me in this unrequited love space right MEOW! big boss appreciates ocelot and sees him as a close comrade but he is not at all in love. ocelot is so in love it’s all consuming. both parties know how the other feels. this doesn’t mean they never fucked. theme song: i’m your man by leonard cohen

bbkaz - when it starts, both parties just see it as Intricate Rituals to let off steam (kaz)/assert dominance(bb), but a certain blonde catches feelings, though he would never admit that to himself or others! maybe big boss is fully aware or how kaz feels for him, maybe not. big boss enjoys feeling power and leverage over kaz and feels a possesiveness which is probably the closest he gets to romantic love for anyone in the series. and then they have the most destructive situationship breakup EVER! it’s so delicious. theme song: only time will tell by asia (stole this from kojima himself, it’s a casette tape in mgsv)

strangeboss: sorry i ALSO see this one as unrequited love, but it is still great. maybe they slept together a couple times and i think the boss did genuinely appreciate strangelove but i think she was like damn this lady is too crazy and young for me. like ocelot tho, strangelove’s love was not deterred. it’s just hers resulted in less evil shit lol. i think this ship is underappreciated, and people should talk more about strangelove, her love for the boss, and the ripple effects of that love. also the otasune parallels can we talk about the parallels. theme song: landslide by fleetwood mac

sexualities

ok i actually have a post in my drafts about this, but what interests me more than characters’ sexualities is how they identify. because i love Denial and it’s realistic considering the characters and time period. i’ll go into it more in another post but here are my hcs for their real sexuality and what they call themselves.

theboss: bi, id’s as straight, but could admit to an attraction to women if pressed

bb: gay but romantically stunted (not aro! it’s a diff thing!) id’s as interested in dominating men, but uninterested in sex or romance

ocelot: gay, probably id’s as such but could get pretentious about it

kaz: bi, id’s as straight even with a gun to his head

strangelove: canon out lesbian!

venom: straight, id’s as whatever big boss’ deal is thanks to Ocelot’s Reverse Conversion Therapy™

solid: gay. thought he was bi for a long time but realized his “attraction” for women was just something he felt he was supposed to do. i think he has always been surprisingly accepting of his attraction to men, but obviously was not out for various reasons, including don’t ask don’t tell.

gray fox: gay but like solid doesn’t ask doesn’t tell

liquid: gay only bc he is a clone of bb and i believe sexuality is innate but i am so uninterested in him it’s whatever

solidus: gay bc he is a bb clone, but absolutely had a wife and shit for his presidential career. probably never was able to confront his sexuality even a little bit. aw damn am i gonna start feeling bad for solidus? (probably not)

otacon: bi, but in denial until he realized his feelings for solid snake, which recontexualized a lot of stuff about how he reacted to the jjba guys

raiden: metrosexual. sorry.

ee: fujoshi

everyone else has a clear cut sexuality (vamp), i don’t care enough about to write about (volgin, raikov, that guy vamp banged) or i just see as straight.

just noticed that my ask box was closed here! well it’s open now :)

i actually love him so dearly

If only I’d tried to get out sooner…

i actually debated between calling him “heterosexual” and “allegedly heterosexual” and decided to be a good girl who doesn’t speculate about celebrities’ sexualities, but you’re right, considering his Mads Mikkelsen Feelings and such. i edited the og post to add the word “allegedly”

what did kojima put in bbkaz to inspire me to make a million playlists. i mean it’s probably largely bc it is relevant to like half of all 70’s and 80’s songs

yep!

This is from a MGS4 era database (hence not using the name Kaz, which wasn’t a thing till PW) but this paragraph seems to be about his status in 2005 (MGS1.)

Now that i’m thinking about it, this even being mentioned here is interesting too because that means they were still considering Catherine as canon as recently as MGS4 release, so she was not retconned out at that point.

actually i DO want to talk about catherine miller. here is what we know about catherine: she was Kaz’s daughter, she was a child during MG2 (in 1999) and it is implied in the MGS4 database that she lived with him during MGS1 (in 2005) my guess from her dialogue is that she was 5-8 years old in MG2, putting her birth year around 1991-1994.

but who was her mom? hell, considering kaz was infertile, who was her biological dad? what made him decide to raise her? was he raising her alone or was there a shared custody agreement with her mom? (endlessly fascinated by Kaz Divorce Arc but that’s for another post) did she have a good childhood? was she loved? considering she was living with kaz in 2005 was she the one to find his body? how did she react? (she was only a child) where did she go after? did she ever discover anything about her dad’s past? were there always agents watching her? did she ever meet solid snake? did she ever meet his daughter? did she get to grow up?

i know she was an afterthought character probably meant to be retconned out but i wish i could get my hands on the forbidden catherine lore, if it even existed.

In 1998, Konami released two games that Hideo Kojima worked on, one of which was Metal Gear Solid 1, arguably his most famous project.

answer below the cut!

Hideo Kojima worked on all 3 of the Tokimeki Memorial visual novels, the second of which was released in 1998.

For those who don’t know, Tokimemo was a massively popular dating sim series (in Japan, the definition of dating sim is very different from the modern western deifinition of “romance visual novels.” They have a focus on strategy and stat-building. There aren’t really any popular games in the west that are like this afaik.) Kojima worked on a series of 3 visual novels, which came out in the years between the first and second main entries. I think they were pretty well recieved. I can’t find much about them because they are untranslated but I’m pretty sure they were typical romance visual novels, focusing on high school slice of life. Pretty different from the rest of his works, huh?

I guess we know why MGS is so romantic now

banana soft serve

the Joy

honestly i bet kaz’s wife was cheating on him and he 100% knew when she announced she was pregnant (considering he is infertile) but didn’t have a leg to stand on (pun ENTIRELY UNINTENTED) because he’s been having hatesex with big boss for many years of their marriage. so they just have an unspoken agreement not to discuss eachother’s respective infidelity until one of them hits a breaking point and a messy divorce ensues.

actually i DO want to talk about catherine miller. here is what we know about catherine: she was Kaz’s daughter, she was a child during MG2 (in 1999) and it is implied in the MGS4 database that she lived with him during MGS1 (in 2005) my guess from her dialogue is that she was 5-8 years old in MG2, putting her birth year around 1991-1994.

people live to be remembered by others

yes, kaz and everyone else on mother base became infertile in 1984, as a side effect from a measure inhibiting the vocal cord parasite. he also has a daughter named catherine, who seemed to be a child during MG2 in 1999. In reality, this is probably just another inconsistency between the older games and the newer prequels that kojima ignored/forgot/didn’t care about but if we want to play in this narrative space, it probably means either kaz got cucked and KNEW but raised the child anyways, or kaz adopted a kid. both of which are kind of sweet…

enamoured by the percentage of canonically infertile mgs characters

obsessed with the fact that the most popular ships in the metal gear fandom are

long term gay couple who got married and adopted a daughter together

insane three to four person toxic yaoi situationship

forcing myself to post my first attempt at making a comic it's from some months ago i was listening to snake eater on loop. WHY IS THIS SO EMBARRASSING.

my own opinions on taylor swift are top secret but u guys need to know that i am not calling ocelot a swiftie as a compliment to her or him. he’s a blond fake southern nepo-baby who goes bonkerballs insane over a completely mid dude. it’s self recognition thru the other.

edit: ok actually. changing my url after 1 day to be more marketable because i didn’t want people to be offput by swiftie-ism. swiftieocelot -> ocielot

ocelhira was so toxic because it was a blond x blond relationship which we all know are evil and an affront to god. not because of the war crimes. or the deception. or the fucking the same guy. or that time one had the other killed. et cetera.

born to meet you

this guy is living in my mind

so I’m replaying MGS2 right now
