I need mgs fans not actually in the queer dating scene to understand that the boss is unintentionally hilariously tragic because her two canon love interests are the bisexual equivalent of an incel and a pick-me girl and questionably the worst types of bisexuals to sexually pursue girl this is EMBARRASSING

[snakesonanoilrig]

And Strangelove is NOT the pick-me-girl here

Revolver Ocelot…

Acts according to his motivations in a define and morally evil manner

Has motivations less evil than the consequences of his actions

Has worse intentions than what he is able to accomplish

Is a cog in a machine with no actual substantial motivations himself

Has good/sympathetic underlying intentions warped by outside forces

Has malicious but insincere motives resulting from environmental influences

Is purely reacting to environmental stimuli, same as anyone in his shoes

A poodle clipped and dyed to resemble a pony.

Every time I see this I go “oh, neat pony” and scroll past while my brain chugs through the caption like the slowest computer on earth and I have to scroll back up to it

[cameoamalthea]

@0kkvlt have you seen the bear?

It’s the same poodle

Her name is Bijou and her owner likes turning her into other things

[0kkvlt]

I saw the bear and said “oh, cool bear” out loud to myself, I think I may just actually be very stupid

Revolver ocelot is literally the boss’s only son and he still manages to only be like her third favorite

[snakesonanoilrig]

For those asking it goes

1. Naked Snake

2. All soldiers who have ever faced abuse or who have had their devotion and loyalty exploited by their countries

3. Ocelot

4. The sorrow

"Anyone who believes that abusers lose control of themselves should peer through the window when the police enter a home. Hundreds of women have told me: 'It’s as if he could flick a switch. The police arrive, and he’s suddenly cool as a cucumber. Meanwhile, I’m freaking out, so of course they think something is wrong with me. They don’t believe he could settle down that fast.' If abusers truly had tremendous problems managing their anger, if they were as emotionally vulnerable or deeply injured from childhood as they often maintain, they wouldn’t be able to shut themselves off like a faucet as soon as a cop knocks on the door."

--Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men

[elfwreck]

This is the appeal of the "bad boy" in popular media: a man who gets angry, who lashes out, who makes inappropriate wisecrack remarks, who ignores protocol and does what he wants, who swears... at his superiors. At people who have the ability to make his life suck.

Kerr Avon. Hawkeye Pierce. House MD. Malcolm Reynolds. David Lister. Snake Plissken. Tony Stark aka Iron Man. Wade Wilson aka Deadpool. Bugs Bunny. Even the muppets' Animal.

A lot of men think the appeal is "guys who are assholes." It's not. It's "guys who are assholes at someone who has the power and authority to retaliate."

In real life, the rumored "I just can't control myself" never seems to mean "...when I might lose money or status or freedom if I failed to do so" so it's fascinating to see characters who apparently actually can't. (Mostly they are so super-competent that it all works out for them. Sometimes it doesn't.)

There've been countless women who say "oh, he's just so angry; he can't control himself"... but it's somehow never his possessions that he breaks. He somehow manages to not lash out at his boss or in front of a cop. Whatever "anger control" issues he has, they only show up when he's alone with someone smaller and weaker than him.

That's not a control issue. It's gaslighting the victim.

I do not want to read “normal” mgs AUs about everyone being happy and normal and going through like sitcom trials of life or getting Hal away from Huey or about veteran big boss/solid snake/whoever falling in love with X give me a “normal” or “modern” mgs au about Ocelot getting constant texts/calls/emails/whatever about his parents’ divorce and his weird relationship with his adult-but-much-younger “step brother” he sees like once a year

[thebestpartofwakingup]

-Adam leaving work early to go pick up his mom because she got arrested for firing a warning shot at her partner’s abusive ex/stalker

-getting into arguments over the phone about how his dad’s life psychiatrist told him to stop buying healing crystals on eBay and to take his damn medication

-weird placating conversations with his mom’s new family about how he understands how she feels and knows how to explain or smooth over whatever dumb thing they’re dealing with or how he should try and participate and get along with her new family to make her feel better about leaving his weird dad

-getting weird voicemails at like 3 in the morning when his dad is off his meds and having an episode

-co-workers or neighbors or someone asking him how his family is and Adam just giving a really long sigh

-Adam being dragged into things by the family lawyer because his parents are asking for unreasonable or stupid things in the divorce paperwork/personal wills, etc.

-Adam having to deal with phone chains and military/veteran bureaucracy to make sure his dad has his own health insurance that is going to keep him on his meds/if he can get someone to check in on him regularly so he doesn’t have to

-friends making unappreciated jokes about how if they were Adam they wouldn’t want a relationship/kids either with how messy his family already is

-unnecessary and extremely awkward drama because both his mother and father start insisting at the last minute they all get together for Christmas for “old times sake” or one of them trying to make Adam change his plans at the last minute to do something with them instead or the sorrow trying to force himself back into the Boss and Strangelove’s life and Adam having to mediate

[thebestpartofwakingup]

The last chapter should be something like Hal, 18-20 getting into some sort of mundane but overwhelming problem and for some reason Adam is the only person he can get a hold of (he got a flat tire or something, there’s something weird going on with his college scholarship and his taxes, he got scammed and his credit is fucked up; or he got like mugged or carjacked or something) and Adam, browbeaten and mildly traumatized by his family’s endless bullshit is a little relieved to be given such a straight forward problem and Hal is REALLY worked up and desperate and kind of shocked when Adam actually shows up or talks him through it “you’re going to do this and then this and talk to this person and do this and everything will be fine” and it’s the first time either has spoken to the other on such neutral terms removed from the wider family context and it sort of ends on this note of them bonding and the idea that Adam needs more space from his parents but he and Hal can be supportive and kind with each other and have their own friendship removed from the family. Staying in touch with and occasionally getting coffee with a man a little older or younger than you who happens to know your mother can be more relaxing and fulfilling and mutually beneficial than forced Christmas photos and drama around holiday travel and family expenses and living arrangements.
