i can't stress enough how badly the man who sold the world tape in mgsv made me need to like bite my own arm off and run around in circles. i'd been told venom was a body double before i started watching my bf play so that wasn't surprising but the way it was FRAMED did things to me. he's not an imposter or a stand in or a false double he IS big boss because they are both together big boss because big boss is just the legend not the man and now he is part of the legend and his actions are in service of the grand plan and he's PART of the narrative and of equal importance and and and. and he walks through the mirror and accepts it and thrives in it and dies for it.

#ignore me #metal gear #metal gear solid v spoilers #IDK JUST IN CASE #BUT LIKE. MEN WILL LITERALLY BECOME TWO HALVES OF A WHOLE INSTEAD OF GOING TO THERAPY #the legend and the hold big boss has on men is so strong that a guy will be told he's been surgically altered and had false memories #implanted in his brain and it's his duty to live as the legend and die for it in service of some nebulous master plan and he'll go otay!!!!#fucked up and compelling to me. also big boss selfcest is something that can be so personal #WE ALREADY KNOW MY STANCE ON CLONEFUCKING. i was going to say this is more ethical bc he's not actually even a clone #but i think maybe it's less ethical because of the surgery done without his consent. they should still make out sloppy style
