#I've been fascinated with quiet ever since I first got into metal gear in middle school and it's *because* her treatment is so cartoonishly
Text
the relationship between me and quiet metalgearsolid is just like ursula k le guin and lavinia from the aeneid
#I'm actually pretty serious about this#tl;dr lavinia never talks throughout the entire aeneid even though a lot of its later plot is based around men fighting#for possession of her (and her kingdom). she's a character but more importantly she is a symbol and her actual personality is#mostly obscured by INSANE levels of misogyny#which is a meta situation similar to quiet's!#I've been fascinated with quiet ever since I first got into metal gear in middle school and it's *because* her treatment is so cartoonishly#misogynistic#she's fully intended to be eye candy which ironically makes her really interesting to characterize + play around with because she has so#much room for interpretation on account of being an Actual Cardboard Cutout#something something women at the margins of the story#but personally for quiet redesigns/reimaginings I like her to be a little silly :3c my quiet playlist is my pinned post for this blog and I#tried to balance it between being fun/relating to her as imagery as a character/commentary on her being fanservice#but like I don't want her to be relegated to the ''has the braincell'' spot where interesting takes on female/minority characters go to die#I want her to have agency AND be a weird fucking creature!!!!
