i had this discussion with my buddy a couple days ago in which we were debating if we've ever seen any truly "casual" langauge between big boss and ocelot in the game canon. and it seems that the closest thing we actually get to a casual chat is the tropical vacation invite radio call from portable ops... which we all love very dearly....... but it did get me thinking about the (very few) interactions between them in mgsv, from the cassette transcripts.

the les enfants terribles conversation fascinates me in particular because of their use of casual language actually around les enfants terribles as an event. big boss, first of all-- "what's up?" and also "heh. you never did like the french" is casual enough, but I really like that you can tell that john's just enjoying the fact that they're conversing. he's got a smile in his voice. but aside from the tone, they're also being a little silly. for ocelot, intentionally butchering the pronounciation of les enfants terribles isn't something you're gonna do in front of your superior, but this is also something you're not really gonna do in front of a friend who considers les enfants terribles to be a touchy subject for himself at best, and traumatic at worst. we're talking about *the* les enfants terribles project: taking into consideration how much john reallly reeeeeeallllyyyy hated the whole concept of that and everything that came out of it, plus the other games' characterization of him in regards to his opinions on that whole thing, I dunno... the fact that john's joking about it with him could just mean growth. but it could also mean a whole lot of trust............ i like that

[arcaderooms]

at least for me when it comes to """character analysis""" i like to think that ocelot's dynamic with big boss is the most "authentic" he could possibly have, although there is no such thing as true autheticity in the position that he's in. Thinking around the times of the Patriots for example, even if he were to want to give all of himself to him during that period there are always too many other eyes, or listening ears, that would make it impossible. john is receptive to him only in the most literal senses, if that makes sense.

how he acts with eva, on the other hand, invokes almost the exact opposing language; there is no telling her the truth, there is only signaling. there is no need to explain feelings out loud. She is able to read him and he is able to read her, but they rely only on residuals. Body language, eye movements, *history*. And it creates uncomfortable familiarity and depth without the emotional availability that would come with a genuine relationship. If anything, most of their verbal communication would be through lies. It's a language they both know, John does not. RE: the torture scene, they're practically yelling at each other with expressions, and that's all. But i'm actually more interested in eva during this part than ocelot, because we know already that he's 100% aware of her motives, and her mission, and is trying to *tell her this* as he did before with making sure she polishes her boots; but how much she's aware of his is a little more unclear to us at this point. at this point, eva only talks to john (and the player) about him to imply that he's a somewhat suspicious player because of his fascination with john, which doesn't necessarily mean spy for john, but it most likely does for her, implying that she's picking up on it too (at least, if i remember correctly!)

the winter term blues have me pretty down this week so i haven't really been drawing... here's an eva pile anyway. i insist on always giving her a hair swoop but... patriots eva is pretty sad. i'm stealing it from her for the time being
