“No one had ever accused Nemo of knowing what was good for him, and that remained to be true.”

i love fucking around with timelines to suit my own purposes

my partner doesnt understand my vision but I've been writing a running gag between otacon and snake where during the events of msg2 when undercover as pliskin, snake keeps pretending otacon is actively having an affair with pliskin and snake cannot ever find out and ik its SO incredibly stupid but I cant stop laughing at their interactions

struggling with whose perspective i wanna write the fic in so I think I'll alternate between Snake and Otacon, maybe not on a chapter to chapter basis maybe a bit more or less frequently depending on how the plot goes, but I am digging writing in first person POV again. I also think I'm gonna name chapters after classic 80s songs/albums/lyrics, not necessarily all rock though. much to consider

ik it was probably bc of his age being inconsistent before his birth year was established as 1980 + psx graphics were pretty much polygonal shit when the game came out (i can say this my main console as a kid til I was like 8 in 2008 was a psx) that all contributed to Otacon's hair being gray in the first game (or idk maybe it was just that kojima thought it looked cool af which would be a correct stance tbf) BUT I have decided for my fic that being the otaku that he is, his hair was gray in the first game bc he dyed it for a convention, decided hey wait this actually fucks severely because I don't look like my dad for once, and kind of just kept up with it for a while with the latent excuse "it's for a cosplay!" ofc theres no anime cons in Middle Of Nowehere Alaska, so he finally lets his natural color come back during the time he spends there with Snake
