One time i got pissed off draiwng mgs1 snake and drew him as generic green alien and ive been thinking about it ever since. Hal as an astronaut too but i didnt want to put any more effort in
I legitimately think the first video game to ever say the word "bisexual" out loud was Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. There is a nonzero chance it was actually the first video game to print "bisexual" in a text format.
Based on what I found, the first ever bisexual character in a video game was Curtis Craig from Phantasmagoria 2 (1996) but I have yet to find out if he says the word "bisexual" in the scene where this is revealed
I once again have to point out for those who've never played mgs2 he says this when asked if another character that goes by the name of vamp is a vampire
The fact that Snake is familiar with queer slang (especially vamp, which isn't well known) is a very good indicator he himself could be queer. Granted, I haven't played the game but from what I've heard from people who did, he isn't the most heterosexual man around.
well shoutout to my friend @bellaleaf first and foremost for narrowing down the time frame. imp was right, the dirt gif shows up EARLY in the records. 2015. this is good. meant i didn't have to search That far, but i still nosed around 2014-2016/17 because these type of posts circulate well past their initial posting.
i used the search feature first. it's not awful for finding stuff from specific years, but reblogs are a no-go. i found plenty of gifsets that dropped around tpp's e3 teaser and started saving a shitload of links.
if a gifset had lyrics plastered onto it, i checked the blog Throroughly. every single metal gear post in their tag. i saved More links. and then i ran into @/zadornov.
a deactivated blog, of course.
i checked 'mutuals' (i assume they were mutuals if they were reblogging from one another frequently). i found plenty more of their gifsets and they were a dead-ringer for the infamous Dirt gif. same font, same style. i kept looking.
and Eventually, when searching in tumblr wasn't working, i went outside of it. pasted "zadornovs-deactivated20160503" into google and narrowed down the search through either "mgsv" or "mgs". more gifsets. this HAD to be the person.
i can't find the link right now because i dug through so fucking many but one of these posts, which i suspected was made by them, mentioned they had moved blogs. couldve been a different person, whatever, but i was lead to one called "v has come to".
link was broken.
i was about to backtrack but, on searching through someone's archive, i found That Same Blog STILL ACTIVE. and HOOOOLY SHIT there's so much in there.
i kept scrolling. dozens of fucking mgs posts. i only knew i was on the right path when, mid-2015 in this metal gear tag, i found the "dirt" gif being used as a meme. and then another. i was close. i could fucking smell it. it had to b
and there it was.
less than 200 hundred notes, the original gifset. scowl thinks it's meant to be "hurt" by nine inch nails, which i also suspect. and oh boy did it hurt. to. dig through the metal gear dirt.
