uploaded just about all the random bits of MGSV stuff i could find on my harddrive to ao3 finally -- some i’ve posted before but some not, anyway it’s all up and organized now.

The Visitor

early writing as I got into the game, before I knew [spoilers] lmao… such wishful thinking.

In Good Times and in Bad, in Sickness and in Health

As if, he thought. As if we aren’t married. We’re married, aren’t we?

Missives from 1974

from when I replayed Peacewalker

the logistics guy — “Boss, as always, just leave the logistics to me.”

easy money — “I'll bet you a hundred dollars each. No, a thousand.”

just you — “Yeah, that’s what I thought.”

cryptid — “Where the hell are we? Why didn’t we just take the road?”

to have to hold — You were a mistake in the first place.

1975 — “You can’t blame a wolf for not coming home to you, can you?”

1984: Tapes and Documents

working through my thoughts post-MGSV

line in the sand — the long-awaited reunion.

handiwork — Enjoy it, you son of a bitch, he thought, viciously and crudely.

close the door — Finally Ocelot spread his palms and said, “Well, that’s about the long and short of it.”

there is nothing left inside me now — “No,” Kaz said humorlessly, “That’s right. We exhumed the corpse. Disinfected you inside and out. You’re good to go.”

nothing but white noise — “Let’s,” Kaz said.

Making Peace: Variations on a Theme

that one comic I did, plus some of my endless rewriting that didn’t make it in to the final thing.

Someone was able to make Venom move around during the TPP introduction which is really cool BUT there is another even cooler thing and that is that this reveals that the nurse goes to BB…

…takes some of his flowers…

…and fucking puts them in venom’s vase.

Waiting for the meta about how everything Venom has is only borrowed from BB and his existence is actually meaningless if not as a prop for him to use.

[ it’s totally a metaphoric allusion to Venom’s role as taking over John’s place - his new existence as a borrowed piece of Big Boss. It’s a very obvious passing-of-the-torch, in a sense of the word. I’d gathered that from the very moment that I saw it happen, on my first play through (even before game’s launch I had serious suspicions as to Venom Snake’s actual identity - I didn’t believe that he was the real Big Boss). But it is REALLY cool to watch the actual transaction transpire, and just kind of sit back and think about it.

Those flowers were given to John by somebody. I mean, there is a shit ton of them on John’s side, but there are none on Venom’s. All I can imagine that means is that they were left for him by Ocelot. So then this nurse, seeing how John has all these flowers she doesn’t think he actually needs, takes them and puts them into a vase on Venom’s side. Just to give Venom a little SOMETHING ‘nice’. To throw him a little bone.

After all, no one knows he’s there. No one cares for Venom as a person, aside for his use as a decoy.

I really think one of the most tragic things about MGSV is Venom, himself. Because you’re right: everything Venom has is only borrowed from BB and his existence is actually meaningless. He only lives his life as a fake iteration of someone else, just pretending to be the person that his memories tell him that he is. And eventually, he loses himself because of that. He becomes just as bad of a person as John becomes, in tandem. It’s pretty fucking sad, honestly. ]

I knew that the nurse was taking flowers from BB’s side and gave them to Ahab but I love that bit of meta on it, its spot on. You have an empty vase there – a shell – she puts a few flowers in it (and in this context its also interesting and very meaningful that Ishmael later indirectly sets the flowers on fire when he sets Quiet on fire, have fun with the symbolism in regards to The Boss). Venom is like a zombie; just a vessel for BB’s words and consciousness. For nine years, they kept him in a state between life and death and had him listen to countless tapes with BB’s voice. He’s everything Skull Face talked about.

And he’s kinda like a tape himself that is being overwritten. It’s really fucking upsetting – to erase someone like that, to change them. In PW EVA sends BB a tape – and a photograph – giving more information about The Boss, and wonders out loud if she maybe wanted to let him know how much it hurts to have your identity taken from you, to be erased, then tells him to let it go.

And he doesn’t and becomes just the same kind of person as the people who tortured his own mentor. There is so much subtext and tiny details in regards to the whole Ishmael/Ahab relationship and what it means for Big Boss and it’s a shame that most people won’t recognize or even think about it

Kaz as Captain Ahab.

He was such a brilliant and tragic character in TPP. A charismatic, honorable leader whose values and morals are distorted by his suffering and who is slowly losing his perception of the world because of his obsession with revenge.

Pic is based on Gregory Peck’s portrayal of Ahab in movie Moby Dick (1956).
