athene1miranda 12:25 pm

fireholly99 12:25 pm
yes.
fox is a masochist.

athene1miranda 12:26 pm
and snake is getting him off

fireholly99 12:26 pm
i mean
it's not like that wasn't obvious
but now there is word of god confirming it.


eta: this got better, one, two. Yes it is a fact that a pairing becoming canon in MGS means that it will implode, but this was pre-imploded, so.

Still haven't finished MGS1 (last boss fight is a bitch), so I'll leave that piece to read when I'm done.

But yeah, good, I was wondering if other people shipped it at all, because all I've mostly heard about is Snake/Otacon. XD

Fair enough! I always get stuck on REX forever every time I replay. I tend to run between his legs and then get sneaky hits in while he has no idea while I am, but half the time that just leads to him accidentally treading on me. :(

fact; MGS fans ship everyone/everyone. mgs_fanworks is not an old comm - it's only been around a couple of years - but while there's a few pairings that get notably more play than the rest, we've used over 50 different pairing tags. mgs_slash is a few years older and has a decent amount of stuff in the Snake/Fox tag, although, er, most of the stuff since 2009 is by me. But hey, the other big MGS1 ship is Snake/Liquid.

[crankyoldman]

Snake/Liquid, ugh. Mostly because I just want Liquid to die in a fire. >.> At least Ocelot survived, if they had killed off everyone in FOXHOUND except Liquid I would be VERY VERY SAD, since he is the least interesting. CLONE AND ALL. I hope he gets more interesting in later games.

And I figured as much, I have a hard time thinking of when there is NOT some odd sexual tension in a scene. XD

Mmm, I've never been that into Liquid, though I think he's a more interesting concept in MGS4 than MGS1. Some people really dig him, though.

What really gets me are the Liquid/Otacon shippers. There are very few of them and while it tends to be kind of an ironic statement about Snake/Otacon, they split pretty neatly between pure fluff (often AUs where Liquid is a nice person, option on Solid therefore being evil), or as horrible grimdark fic - noncon, or, in one case, necrophile!Otacon. Oh MGS fandom ILU.
