For the character ask game
3 and 25
obsessed that you didnt even say a character. theres only one option here, truly.
3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?
god theres so much i love about him its not even funny. i cant even hate anything bc even his flaws hold so much meaning to me. i think if its anything, it has to be the dubious canonicity of his like. entire existence. between retcons and an entire game that is technically ignorable by the standards of quote unquote canon, you get conflict in how people are looking at his character which is SAD. hashtag whatever. i guess. (nothing against other headcanons but also. i know im right about him).
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
i really did not know he existed. im not fucking joking i went into mgs just for mantis bc i like that guy. my og game course went 3 (my friend insisted id love the cobras and i DO) into mg1 into mg2 into mgs1 IMMEDIATELY into mpo YOU KNOW IM IN DEEP. and i cannot lie when i say the gustava/fox plotline in mg2, as small as it was, made me literally insane. like are you FR WITH THEM? and then finding out hes ALIVE and theres something so fucking wrong with him in mgs1? literally i didnt even think about snox at first i didnt give a shit about the masochism or ANYTHING i saw a man and his vengeful sister and his dead girlfriend and knew i couldnt go through the rest of the series normally. HE MADE ME SICK IN THE HEAD INSTANTLY I FELL IN LOVE ON SIGHT AND ITS NEARING A FULL YEAR NOW AURGUHHGHGH. my type is unironically suicidal disabled war veterans who are fully disillusioned with the war they fought in so he hit the nail on the fucking head instantly. IT TOOK ME MONTHS TO EVEN THINK ABOUT TOUCHING THE REST OF THE SERIES BC I WAS LEGIT JUST LIKE. literally what is the fucking point if fox isnt in it. i was convinced into mgrr with monsoon (loml btw) and was able to keep going but genuinely i could not give two shits abt the games fox isnt in bc thats all i care about in this fandom something is severely mentally wrong with me.
