I Actually Love Him So Dearly

In 1998, Konami released two games that Hideo Kojima worked on, one of which was Metal Gear Solid 1, arguably his most famous project.

answer below the cut!

Hideo Kojima worked on all 3 of the Tokimeki Memorial visual novels, the second of which was released in 1998.

For those who don’t know, Tokimemo was a massively popular dating sim series (in Japan, the definition of dating sim is very different from the modern western deifinition of “romance visual novels.” They have a focus on strategy and stat-building. There aren’t really any popular games in the west that are like this afaik.) Kojima worked on a series of 3 visual novels, which came out in the years between the first and second main entries. I think they were pretty well recieved. I can’t find much about them because they are untranslated but I’m pretty sure they were typical romance visual novels, focusing on high school slice of life. Pretty different from the rest of his works, huh?

I guess we know why MGS is so romantic now

When time cast a spell on you but you lowkey wont forget me

forcing myself to post my first attempt at making a comic it's from some months ago i was listening to snake eater on loop. WHY IS THIS SO EMBARRASSING.

mother stands for comfort

mother will hide the murderer

honestly i bet kaz’s wife was cheating on him and he 100% knew when she announced she was pregnant (considering he is infertile) but didn’t have a leg to stand on (pun ENTIRELY UNINTENTED) because he’s been having hatesex with big boss for many years of their marriage. so they just have an unspoken agreement not to discuss eachother’s respective infidelity until one of them hits a breaking point and a messy divorce ensues.

normally i hate when characters are turned into housewives but i think ocelot would have been so happy to just be big boss’ housewife, as long as he could kill and torture a couple times a month for enrichment. ocelot only did All That because he couldn’t cook horrible gelatin creations for big boss in their 3 bed 2.5 bath 1 dungeon suburban connecticut home while wearing nothing but a frilly apron.

on the subject of it often being out of character for characters to be having carefully negotiated bdsm sex in smut fics: 90% of metal gear ships are insane toxic yaoi and would definitely be having sex that is neither safe nor sane and only borderline consensual HOWEVER otacon and snavid would be thoroughly negotiating kinks before during and after sex like theyre doing mission briefings on a codec call
