Post cannon SQQ thinking that either the demon court has just gotten used to him or have become more tolerant towards humans (either by exposure or LBQ's blood)

In reality, after seeing Consort Shen avoid many different kidnapping (or really any wife plot) attempts that he is the same type of human that Mobei Jun's human is. Both "humans" have ridiculous amounts of knowledge that they shouldn't have. They already clocked it from the northern advisor years ago. They talk strongly around each other and have form of platonic flirting (insulting each other).

They have seen/interacted with other humans, and they don't act like that. So, while they have gotten a bit more tolerant about humans, they don't think of either as humans.

I’m sorry I might sound like a madwoman for going on a rant about this but man, it’s… I don’t know how to express it but just the thought of some person, 120 years ago, taking a photo of their cat, which back then wasn’t easy - they didn’t have phones with cameras, each photo required a lot of time and dedication, so not only the person “wasted” a whole photo on their cat, they also did their fricking best to save this photo and carefully put it into an envelope to preserve it so that people in the future will know that there was this cat and it looked like this and it’s owner thought the cat looked lovely that day so much that they decided to take a photo of it and then they loved the photo so much that they went out of their way to preserve it for future generations like “hello people from the future! this is what my cat loos like!” because they loved their cat so much they wanted people from the future to know about it is… crazy to me… and here we are, 120 years later, long after the cat and it’s owners passed away, looking at an old photo of a cat and gushing about it. The cat died so long ago and wouldn’t even know it existed if not for the owner that loved their cat so much that they decided this photo was worth preserving and put it into a time capsule. and seeing now how people dedicate whole blogs to their cats and take countless pictures of them just to show to other people really hits because you realize that in the end, people from today aren’t that much different from people that were 120 years ago. We all just love our cats and want people to look at them.

I bet this woman was imagining the photo may be seen by like… a family some day. But no. It survived till the age of the internet. It has now transcended the original media. It is now being seen by far more eyes in far more places than the media she chose would normally allow. I hope the taker of this 120 year old photo is PROUD.

Question please, why did Major Zero have Ocelot watch over Big Boss during his coma? Why wouldn’t he have Eva do it, I thought she had a strong bond with him and that they loved each other. I always wondered why Eva never made an appearance/cameo in Phantom Pain, I could have seen her helping Big Boss out of the ambulance and giving him the cigar, motorcycle and clothes. What are your thoughts, would you have liked to have seen Eva in MGSV? Kind thanks :)

Sure!

Ocelot was skeptical of the whole body-double thing, but he was interested in protecting BB. He was also the one that knew how to do (and carried out) the hypnotherapy on Venom to create the body double — something that was Zero and EVA’s idea. Ocelot also had way more reason to be in/near Cyprus: he still worked with the Soviet military/GRU Spetsnaz, and took up the job as the GRU’s chief interrogator in that region to cover why he was really there. (This is how he got the name “Shalashaska” — the mujahideen were fucking terrified of him.)

More important than that, though: BB left The Patriots specifically because they were attempting to use the Les Enfants Terribles project as a bargaining chip to keep him “in line” — something that backfired spectacularly because it was actually the straw that broke the camel’s back and disgusted BB (keep in mind, he was sterile). Eva does leave The Patriots in support of BB eventually, but the damage is done. She was literally the surrogate mother to the LET/twin snakes, the very project he was repulsed by — so she’s just as complicit as everyone else involved in that project. When BB peaced out of that group, he severed ties with all of them.

Of everyone involved with The Patriots/BB in that time period, Ocelot was the only one that who’s motivations/actions were 100% aligned with BB and/or carried out solely to benefit BB, and that goes far beyond any notion of romantic love (though there’s a pretty strong argument to be made for Ocelot there, too 👀).

I personally am fine with EVA as a character, but I’m relieved she wasn’t in TPP. Ocelot was already running circles around her in terms of spy games back in MGS3; she wouldn’t have been nearly as useful as him to BB/VB. It would have been far too heterosexual to be a modern Kojima game at that point a lot more boring without that weird, halfway romantic, tension / constant pissing contest between Ocelot and Kaz.
