I Love Mgs Tier Lists

nah, it is a personal preference (that doesn't match mine) but if it makes you happy, go ahead and write that fic about a skinny hairless twink bottom! dw, fellow trans men also write fics about their personal fantasies that have little to no relevance to me

it is a bit annoying at times that much of transmasc content doesn't match my preferences, but it's a reason for me to encourage those who create the content i like (or create some myself if i cared enough), not to complain about other content (ok mb complain a little to my friends in private), even if i find it weird or cringe

p.s. have read some reblogs and want to add that a fictional character doesn't have to represent the author's beliefs about entire group of people, and depending on genre it doesn't even have to be a thoroughly designed character. it represents what author wanted to write about, not what majority of real people are like or anything else

and if you form your impression on trans men (or any other group of real people) based on fictional characters (even worse if it's from porn) and not real people, then, well. don't, lmao, that's a wrong thing to do.

tl;dr as a grown ass man why should i care about other person's fan fiction preferences, chill

i think that's part of the "live and die under your orders" thing. (more below bc long post)

he was willing to sacrifice his life to shield big boss, so it is possible to assume he would be willing to give the rest of his life to the cause of big boss, and being big boss himself is a reward of sorts. also it is not only for personal safety of ishmael but to raise the chances of him achieving his goals; i don't think he thought venom snake will be ok at all, but i think he thought it is worth it and that venom snake would agree. which is still a very questionable thing to do ofc.

it's funny that you see him as a villain only bc for me it's the opposite: i have to remind myself what's wrong with him to not just see him as a cool guy lol. i was looking closely while playing pw to see the hints of him becoming evil or smth, and there were very few. even in mgsv i was upset the game isn't finished bc among other things i hoped to finally get the explanation of how he became the evil guy (if ever). now i hope to get it in mgs4 but will see how it goes.

in peace walker and portable ops there were two "villainy" things i noticed: kidnapping people to his pmc (which i at first disregarded as limitation of gameplay mechanics but is more fun to take literally) and being really dedicated to his goals and putting them first (as in when chico feels bad for breaking, he comforts him in a way that will make chico join the msf). and the second part is rather likeable to me than a reason to think he's a villain ngl. people in real world (not everyone ofc but many) were happy to have an opportunity give their life and death to a cause. huey really highlights it in mgsv for me: in a way, dd is play pretend, but i don't think it's a delusion bc they make it real with their own effort: they do impact the world and even their big boss becomes real big boss via his accomplishments and struggle.

i think that the boss was so loved by her followers bc she gave it her all, and big boss tried to follow and surpass her in that, and that's the appeal and i can't really see him as a villain (especially since he's fictional and thus any of his wrongs can be forgivable). interesting to see a person with opposite opinion.

also earlier you've posted that ishmael, unlike ahab, didn't even cry for his dead staff or smth. that's creepy of you ngl :) as a person who doesn't always cry at funerals of people i cared about, kinda scary that it could be perceived as me being indifferent rather than expressing my feelings in a different way (or not expressing them at all). as for big boss, there is an entire scene in portable ops when a staff member dies. it is not a 100% proof of what snake thought and felt, but i assume the game should more or less reflect his pov, and he cared, just thought that whatever losses can't be prevented are acceptable for a worthy cause, among soldiers and military people who signed up for it at least.

Venom's arc explained in a picture from the player's perspective

Playing MGSV:TPP you have 2 choices:

You can be good or bad. You can kill, destroy, use and do everything in your power to be the worst person alive. You can be kind, you can save animals, kids, soldiers, grow a family and be a respectable man.

There's actually no choice. There's no two-tracks. The ending is the same. History will see you as a villain. You are a villain. You are, currently, the perfect depiction of the most wanted and most evil man alive, according to the world.

You have no lever. You cannot stop this from happening. Either close your eyes or watch, the ending will be the same. Your life will end in misery. The only relief? Boss will pat your shoulder and let you die with a false sense of accomplishment. Congrats. That's the panthom pain everybody talks about.

hell yeah, bro gets the struggle

i remember playing mgs right after the "awkward phase" (which was a mullet in my case) of growing out hair and thinking "damn, almost everybody in mgs has a mullet, i could rock an epic hairstyle like that this entire time?" and then it turned out that actually no i couldn't, gottem lmao

either that or huge haircut choice and hair styling skill issue on my side (entirely possible)

literally me when my overgrown short hair is long enough to put in a ponytail:

The last cards I finished up to for the VA’s at @mgscon ! Naomi, Meryl, Otacon, and Gray Fox! Hopefully this year I’ll actually be able to give Jennifer Hale hers 🖤

There have been a few more legendary VA’s that have been announced so I gotta get to work on theirs!
