š - for BiBo, Solidus, the Boss, or all three? @cnebcss
Send š for something my muse wants to say to yours, but wonāt.
solidus.
I think I could have helped you if we'd met sooner. You weren't like Liquid, and I didn't hate you. I could have been there for you if I'd had the chance. It might've been nice to have a brother.
the boss.
What the Hell did you do to him, for him to turn out like that? Everyone says you were a hero, but from what I can tell, you spent your whole life covering for the government's mistakes, until they killed you. And what you left behind nearly destroyed the world. When people say I'm like you, it sends a chill down my spine.
big boss.
It hurts that you might've actually loved me if I wasn't yours. I keep meeting people who say you saved them, and raised them, that you were the father they never had. What did I ever do to you for you to hate me the way you did? Was I less deserving of love than them? I don't think it's anything romantic like you hating the parts of yourself you saw in me. I don't know what it was. But I'm angry with you, and I have nowhere to put that anger that won't hurt somebody else, so I'm going to hold it inside me until I die young because of your genes. You're going to kill me in the end.

š+ Solidus, baybeee. Big Boss if you want, too. @cnebcss
rubbing my hands devilishly for this one.. @cnebcss
Gaismagorm
So, there's actually a few reasons why I associate this one with Solidus.
To give a little bit of extra context about this guy: in MH lore (or I guess its ecology), it has a pretty interesting feeding cycle in which it relies almost entirely on another parasitic organism, the Qurio, for sustenance. It remains underground while sending out swarms of Qurio, which feed off the life-force of whatever monsters live in the region before returning to their host Gaismagorm to share their energy and thus keep it fed.
Interestingly, another monster exists that can hijack this symbiotic relationship, Malzeno. It can commandeer Qurio to control them for its own purposes, though this comes with the cost of becoming incredibly aggressive due to the influence and relentless hunger of the Qurio it now hosts.
Design-wise Gaismagorm is believed to be based off the concepts of demons and the Devil, which also ties into its relationship with Malzeno and the Qurio in a really interesting way since Malzeno's design is also based off classical gothic vampires; specifically with the legend of Count Dracula, and how he gained his powers through deals with the devil.
(Obviously I am associating Malzeno with Vamp because like... come on it's literally a vampire dragon.)
Aside from that there's also the fact that Solidus was part of the Army of the Devil which I think kinda fits with Gaismagorm its relationship with the Qurio.
Also PLEASE look at the plush for this thing. his little leggies.........................
anyways, other potential monsters I think would fit Solidus;
Dreadking Rathalos
Honestly I can see all of the Snakes getting a Rathalos/Rathian variant because they're basically the face(s) of the franchise, and Rathalos is also basically the mascot/flagship monster for the Monster Hunter franchise lol
(If you wanna get into specifics; Solid would get Azure Rathalos, Liquid would get Gold Rathian, BB would probably either get a regular or Zenith Rathalos and Venom would get Dreadqueen Rathian. Though Guardian Rathalos would also be a thematic fit for the clones tbh)
Scorned Magnamalo
I mostly picked this one just for the Vibes of that broken horn/missing eye but honestly this little blurb from the wiki page kinda makes me think of Solidus š
A Scorned Magnamalo is said to come to be when a male Magnamalo has its horns broken for any reason, rendering it undesirable for females and unable to mate for the rest of its life. As a result, the Magnamalo forgoes mating and focuses entirely on hunting prey, recklessly facing and devouring increasingly dangerous foes to accumulate power and bolster its Hellfire. If the Magnamalo survives for long enough, it can undergo gradual morphological changes that turn it into a Scorned Magnamalo.
and covering BB as a bonus...
Dalamadur
Assuming this is all part of some kind of Pokemon/MH Stories-esque AU where the characters just kinda have these monsters as companions, I think BB would actually come into possession of (his) Dalamadur from the Boss, specifically after he's forced to kill her as part of Operation Snake Eater. And I think it fits them both as a symbolic creature, kind of like with Solidus and Gaismagorm. (And also because it's BIG SNEK!!!!!1)
I kind of see it as a symbol of just how much of an impact one's presence and influence can have on the world around them, much like the power BB would've come to possess in MSF and Zanzibarland. A Dalamadur's presence can easily reshape entire ecosystems just from it passing by, being so large that it can destroy natural formations and carve up mountains from the simple act of moving, a force of nature incarnate.
And in a way you could see the Boss and BB in a similar light; to BB she was the most important person in his life, the one person who taught him everything she knew and shaped him into the soldier he is now. And BB, in turn, became a similar figure in the eyes of the soldiers he would've led; a leader, a mentor, someone with enough power and authority to mold them in preparation for a life of war.
Idk it's kind of a stretch but again this is more of a Symbolic thing than a more literal representation.
Gogmazios
IM GOGGING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So this guy is interesting. Covers itself in oil, apparently capable of just disappearing without a trace, raids armories to eat their gunpowder stores...
Did I also mention that sometimes it just straight-up glues weapons to itself sometimes, and in Wilds IT HAS A FUCKING RAILGUN YOU CAN SHOOT IT WITH?
So anyways. I chose Gog for similar reasons w/ Gaismagorm in that it has some more literal associations with BB and his history. Mainly with his accumulation of weapons and power in Zanzibarland, the whole thing with OILIX, and to an extent, the concept of Metal Gear as a weapon. In-universe it's even referred to as "the Specter of War" which is also very, very fitting imo.
(The tie to Metal Gears is mostly due to, again, the literal fucking railgun superglued to its back, which is also A BIG FUCKING DEAL in MH lore because the most advanced weapons tech "modern" people have are like. Big guns. And gun-lances. Though you could also make that same connection with the Guardian monsters and Zoh Shia imo.)
"how do you feel about gun rights?" @cnebcss from Solidus lmao
In his defense, he hasn't slept in two days. Monitoring the RAY fleet's movements at this stage is critical. One missed alteration to the pattern and nuclear winter could be upon them. Snake needed to be ready to go the instant something unusual happened. Which it hadn't, for forty-eight hours. When Otacon got home, they would switch shifts, but he'd been caught up getting back into the country unnoticed, leaving Snake with George -- and he sure as shit wasn't leaving him in charge of keeping watch.
So it's with an abnormally effervescent air that Snake replies, "Guns don't have rights, idiot, they're guns."

He's not unfamiliar with electrocution. He's gotten a taste of it before; once as part of his training under FOXHOUND to resist interrogation techniques, and again when he had to deal with the electrified floors in Outer Heaven. Insightful, but not very pleasant whatsoever.
Unfortunately, past experience doesn't do much to actually prevent him from getting shocked senseless while being strapped to a machine designed to do exactly that.
'Forgot' my ass, Snake thinks sarcastically to himself.
He's left heaving for air in the apparatus holding him upright, steam curling up from where the sweat's been boiled off his shaking form. He doesn't immediately respond to Ocelot's taunting, only leering up at him when he mentions the rookie.
Meryl...
He knows he can't submit, as much the agony of lightning in his veins tempts him. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if he gave up her life in exchange for promised relief.
He still has a mission to complete, after all.
"I'm not so sure cruel and unusual punishment is an accurate method of seeing what kind of man I am," Snake growls at Ocelot. He's pretty sure his captor's doing this for more than just information.
ā Iād say youāre the worst, but that feels like a compliment. ā @cnebcss (Ocelot for Snake?)
Snake can't help the amused huff from his nostrils at that remark.
"Is it? That's rich, coming from the guy who views torture as an art form."
He's more than likely going to be going into that room for another round of interrogation, if you could count getting fried until his skin feels like it's about to peel off as such. And as much as he'd like to maybe knock a few of the cat's teeth loose with a well-placed fist, there's not much he can do with the reinforced glass keeping him caged in.
Soon. He'll get the opportunity soon. He just has to wait on Hal to find something to bust him out of this cell.
"Did you come around just to poke fun at me, or did you actually want to talk?"
ā¹ or ā¹ reversed for Solidus and Raiden? @cnebcss
random injury meme -- minor concussion
--
There's sound. Light. Noise. Confusion. Pain. For the first few ten seconds of him waking up, this is all that Jack registers. A senseless, noisy, chaotic world of blurred color and blinding light and an aching, throbbing pain that seems to radiate through his skull with every beat of his heart.
Then his memory starts coming back to him, little bits and pieces at a time. He'd been... fighting? Sparring? He's not sure, he just remembers the feeling of a knife in his hand, trying to move, something swinging at his head and--
There's someone standing over his cot.
His first immediate, instinctive reaction is to move, but his attempt to roll out of bed and onto his feet fails spectacularly. His limbs feel like they're made of lead, like he just can't make them move right, and all he really does is end up entangling himself in the sheets like a fool.
It takes him another couple of seconds, after he's able to parse all the sound and light and noise into more distinct and separate things, to realize that it's only George, not an enemy waiting to slit his throat.
Jack blinks. The light still feels harsh on his eyes, and as he lifts a hand to rub at them only now does he feel the bandage wrapped around his head, like a bandana.
Did he take a bad hit? During training, maybe? His memory's still a little foggy.
