Me: im trans
Snake: Hrm... trans huh? give me a moment
Snake goes into a box and calls up his husband
Snake: Otacon, this lady dropped a piece of intel in regards to herself, do you know what "trans" means
Otacon: Snake, that's short for the term "transgender" a phrase used for those who's identity doesn't align with their asigned sex, some use hormones or surgery to better fit their lifestyle
Snake: Chemical and Surgical modification huh? they're like supersoldiers but they choose to change to fight for their own spirits rather than a nation...
Otacon: Remember snake, being "trans" is an umbrella label, many in the community identify beyond our common gender binary, including traditional cultural gender roles or wholly new ones
Snake: A wide variety of genders, such diversity not only make them unpredictable but increases practical versatility, impressive stuff
Otacon: oh this is just like Lily Hoshikawa from my Japanese animes
Snake leaves the box
Snake: You're pretty good huh? this trans stuff sounds intense, you have my support as a fellow soldier
One of the main reasons I've been so fond of Otasune since I first knew it was a thing was because I think they're genuinely one of the purest forms of love in Metal Gear.
Throughout the series we see horrible relationships between horrible people trying to get by and then that relationship gets dragged through the awful scenarios they live with, be it war, internal struggles, infidelity etc. Despite this common place struggle with so many other characters, we see Otacon and Snake steadfast loyal and healthy throughout every struggle they go through.
very silly fancomic project i made in a sort of frenzied love inbetween work. I wanted to get back to something i loved as a kid since it's FF, so I was very inspired by the aesthetics and mannerisms of 90s doujinshi. Tried to follow that as far as I could, using g-pen and borrowing a tiny screentone from a friend, as well as making the cover in pale yellowish copics and ink. Only the text is digital... It's fun to get back to just creating goofy stuff with your hands, even if the result is very wonky. i didn't storyboard it or anything, so it just kinda goes with the flow. but i hope it's fun!
In one of your replies to someone about JayVik in season 1 you mentioned Riots poor handling of gay men and said something about K'Sante being horrible in his relationship with Tope. I personally really like K'Sante and I wish he got more content overall. It makes me happy seeing a big buff man being canonically gay and I was wondering if you dislike him or you're simply not interested in his character.
I like k'sante and was waiting for his launch when they started teasing him. but i think its extremely telling that they would pick /the gay man/ to get the story where his personality is too dysfunctional to maintain a relationship and the 'rep' is done through him watching his ex-lover get married to someone else. Specially when that short story came after arcane s1 I was just like. lol. lmao. ok! here we go again!
I'm not putting the blame on his blurb or short writers, from what I recall at least they let one of the gay writers tackle those but IIRC he also mentioned on his post launch comments that k'sante's personality was locked before he got the job and he had to work within defined limitations. This is about the company mandates.
We have multiple completely functional cutesy and explicit m/f (& f/f) relationships but when it comes to gay guys its absolute dust. 'k'sante is an arrogant overachiever that has to be humbled!!!!' 'TFgraves cant kiss or have a loveydovey story because they're too afraid to speak their feelings!!!!' 'varus is the spirit of two dead gay guys cursed to inhabit a demon homunculus!!!!' can I get one mainline gay couple that is given actual relationship progression on par with everyone else? It's hard to not be bitter when I know full well there is a bias at play, and they're only doing this because they're afraid straight guys will be disgusted.
I'm glad at the very least they let him be cute in the boyband AU but im not going to lie and say I wasn't disappointed with the launch choices. They even did the whole 'and Tope was his caring work/research partner but all K'sante did was fuck things up...' like oh brother
