Savid - Curse of Strahd

I know he's mentioned like once (1) in passing in the module, so I decided it's free real estate to give him whatever vibe I want him to have

I understand that between the years of the 1980s to 2000s weren’t forgiving to LGBTQ people especially in conservative countries, but the hints in Metal Gear are endless.

There’s no LGBTQ stuff in the MSX games or in Solid that I can recall of but in Sons of Liberty in the beginning codec call, Otacon/Hal almost says Solid Snake’s real name, before cutting himself off and fixing his mistake. I honestly wish it made the cut though.

Of course Otacon and Solid Snake don’t appear in Metal Gear Solid 3 and I can’t really think about any LGBTQ stuff in MGS3 beside the affair with Raikov and Volgin and how it’s portrayed in the early 2000s “Ewwww he likes men” way.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is were this truely shines, David having to rely on Hal due to the accelerated aging he’s facing and living together on the Nomad and also taking care of Sunny. It’s prime old man yaoi at it’s finest. The offical book adaptation of MGS4 also of course touches on the same subjects but in Otacon/Hal’s view, he talks about David like he’s a lover. Caring for him and knowing that David will die, but he’s doing it in the name of peace and his case, for his lover.

The original ending of MGS4 was originally gonna be Hal and David turning themselves in for the crimes the two committed together, then getting executed. If I recall correctly they would’ve played “Here’s to You” by Ennio Morricone in the background, just like how “Way to fall” by Starsailor played during the ending cutscene of MGS3
