gods last solimeryl shipper in the year of our lord 2024

[ghostcrows]

Also I stand corrected about bb and ocelot. Like they're not gay but whatever they had going on in that moment was gayer than being gay. Touchmybody.wav

[higgs-the-god]

I think brotp s. Uh. Sneryl? What’s the ship name

[skllyr]

Super tiny lil sneryl ;w;

[residentbunburyist]

for the askbox game: I know roughly where you stand on a good chunk of these I think but I like to pick brains anyway so I'm just gonna: ocelhira, bbkaz, snakemeryl (sn... sneryl??), vkaz, otasune (I just wanna know the answer to 3 in particular for this one eheeh) takes a bow

aw hell yeah. i'm gonna do ALL of them!!

but maybe under a cut because it'll go for a bit

OCELHIRA -

1. What made you ship it?

love it. one of my favorite trash ships. 10/10. hatefucking their way through a decade of warcrimes

i am a huge sucker for angry, twisted, mutually angry relationships, and this has everything that i want: they're forced to work together towards a mutual goal for the man they both love while he sleeps, and they're angry, and jealous, and both awful people in their own rights. i love it

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

i like seeing the multitude of ways that people fill the 9 years that bb was asleep with the two of them, and how they explore how they worked with each other and maybe started relying on each other more than they wanted to. but most importantly, i love the deceit and the knowledge that ocelot was still lying to him the entire time with the full intention of just dropping him like a rock for bb once he needs to, like ocelot always does.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

i've read a few fic where ocelot really does switch allegiances and falls truly in love with kaz, and betrays bb for kaz and v. i can't jive with that. i'm far too dedicated to ocelot's single-minded obsession with bb to let him ever fully change his allegiances. only work up some lovely lovely regret and conflicted feelings.

BBKAZ -

1. What made you ship it?

also love it. 100/10. 2 men, 1 braincell, 1000 war crimes.

what made me ship it is just all of their AMAZING interactions in peace walker. the relationship between the two of them just progressed in such a weird, but also weirdly natural way, and i can absolutely believe in their comradarie and affection

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

i love how these two get along together like an oil fire. they drive each other to new heights, and new ideas, but also enable each others' worst tendencies. in the peace walker tapes, you can really see how well they feed into each others' self-involved echo chambers, and convince each other that the things that they're doing are not only good, but GREAT ideas. i wholly believe that bb would not have become who he was without kaz egging him on, both feeding his grandiose view of himself and his world-view. plus of course i adore how it all falls apart in the end and the end their lives as bitter enemies. perfection

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

i always really really hate when people flatten kaz down to some sort of... battered housewife and bb into a manipulative, abusive husband. because bb was physically stronger and so came out on top of their fights, that must mean that kaz must be reduced to a quavering waif who doesn't understand that he's actually being abused and that's just... missing the mark on their relationship in so many different ways and i fucking hate it.

SNAKEMERYL -

1. Why don’t you ship it?

I like thinking that they briefly got together after Shadow Moses, but obviously they didn't canonically work out. I'm going to say I don't ship it, just because I like working within those confines. i like thinking that they stayed together for a few months, but due to just... their mutual bad coping and disinterest in talking about their problems, Snake didn't have enough support to not fall back into his drinking and closing himself off, and Meryl got frustrated both with Snake not meeting any of her standards in a 'never meet your heroes' sort of way, and way too cooped up and lonely because she wasn't ready to wallow and write off her whole life.

2. What would have made you like it

i kind of like it just the way it is, honestly? like, i really like that they didn't work out, and that the spark that they had during Shadow Moses was based more on danger and adrenaline than actual compatibility. If anything i think i would have liked to just see a little bit more of what their time together in Alaska post MGS1 was like before Meryl left

3. Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

i really like all of the interactions between the two of them, both in mgs1 and mgs4. also i just adore Meryl in general. she's perfect.

VKAZ -

1. Why don’t you ship it?

this is a really hard one. like... I DO ship it, but... I'm going to say no, just because i only like it under VERY specific circumstances and i very rarely see it done in a way that i like. i'm incredibly picky when it comes to vkaz

2. What would have made you like it

it's one of those ships that i theoretically go ham for, and when it IS done right it hurts in the best possible way. i think... i can never get into it when it gets TOO tender, and they actually fall for each other, or become...healthy, in any way? Like, v and kaz don't communicate. basically at all. throughout all of mgsv, we only see kaz fluctuate wildly between codependently thinking that v is the only person he can trust, the one who can fix everything, the reason he's been putting himself through so much hell for the last decade... and then being vicious and vindictive when v doesn't meet the standards that he's worked up in his mind over that long period. and v, lacking any and all of the charisma that bb had, completely fails to meet kaz at any point. his reactions tend to be anywhere between confused, hurt, or upset but patient, but never... connecting. they have none of the spark, romantic or destructive, that bbkaz had. they are two husks of people who used to exist, but don't any longer (in v's case much more literally so), clinging to each other because of a sunken cost fallacy and because they're all that the other has. but there's no point in mgsv where they actually seem to connect in nearly the same capacity as just bb and kaz ranting excitedly about international politics and their plans for the future. it's tragic, it's empty, and when people explore it like that, i love it. basically... for having chosen to say i don't ship it, i sure do have a LOT to say about it

3. Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

i've seen a few fanworks that depict them in the absolute perfect way, and when it threads that needle, it becomes one of my favorite things. it's potentially the most poetic and painful pairing in the series and the people who can make it work KILL IT.

OTASUNE -

1. What made you ship it?

as opposed to all of the others, which i enjoy for their unhealthiness and tragedy, snake and otacon are perfect for each other and do an amazing job at learning and growing and healing together and it's absolutely one of my favorite pairings ever. the both of them had hard lives, and had made bad choices, and were having a lot of trouble connecting to other human beings in different ways. But they do such a good job of like... not perfectly, not without difficulties, but very realistically helping each other to become better and happier people

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

watching their relationship develop between mgs1, mgs2, and mgs4 is so good. watching them become more comfortable as partners, and then become the person that the other understands more than anyone else, is just so heartwarming to watch.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

the next person who depicts otacon as a perpetually sobbing but also tender and understanding uwu softboi who needs big strong david to hug him and solve every problem for him gets both a kick in the teeth and a full transcript of every time that otacon has been kind of a sarcastic or passive agressive dick

OH MY GOD "SNERYL" ASDFGGHHFDSSDC

FITS HER BECAUSE SHE IS A SNAKE!!!ALL HAIL THE AUTHORITY.

[ciircumserpent]

SHIPPING INFO // answer the following for your muse(s) so people know how shipping works on your blog. REPOST. don’t reblog.

WHAT’S YOUR OTP FOR YOUR MUSE?: i think i like fox/snake the most out of all canon-universe ships, but i also adore otasune, snake/olga, snolly, and snakestava. sneryl is good sometimes.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RP WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?: i’ll rp most things, but i don’t like cheating or miscarriage / abortion plots -- though the latter shouldn’t be a problem for snake, as he’s sterile. i don’t like references to birth complications in general. i think this question is more like ‘on a scale of fucked up things’ so i’ll se that i’m open to discussion about ships, especially when it comes to smut.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?: if it’s a generational gap, i probably won’t do it. that is to say, if one character is old enough to be another’s parent, it’s not going to happen. especially if one of the characters is a teenager or in their early twenties and the latter is in their late thirties or higher. i think fox/snake is my biggest age gap pairing, and they’re about a decade apart. i will not even entertain underage pairings.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?: i feel like i’m not... selective, per se, i just don’t ship a lot? i’m not great at writing romance. snake has the most ships out of any muse i’ve ever written by virtue of being a fuckboy, and even then, i’m not actively shipping all of the ‘canon’ ships he has. i’m open to people shipping with me, i just don’t usually jump for it unless i really like it, and even then, i’m extremely cautious when it comes to asking for ships, because i don’t want to force anything on anyone, even unintentionally.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY’RE CONSIDERED NS.FW?: when it gets to actual sexual touching. like, i’ll tag something if there’s nudity described, but i have threads with snake in the bath / shower that i don’t tag as such because they’re usually not about the fact that he’s naked. if something is focused on sexual intercourse or anything that i would consider inappropriate for my younger followers, it is tagged, and when actual smut rolls around, it’s under a cut.

WHO ARE OTHER MUSES YOU SHIP YOUR MUSE WITH?: i LOVE my ships with @hameya and @grauerfuchs. they’re about my only active ship partners right now and i adore both of them and the relationships they have with snake.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?: yes. i mean, you don’t have to approach me off the bat and say, i have an idea for a ship. i probably won’t like that because i prefer some buildup before we get to shipping. at some point, however, i would like the other person to clarify that we’re shipping.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU LIKE TO SHIP?: it depends on the muse! snake really likes flirting so i ship more often here. as a general rule i like to have a handful of really well-developed ships rather than a lot of vague ships.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?: i’m not that ship obsessed but i do like the ones i have.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?: yes.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?: fox/snake and otasune. i have also grown to really like the bbkaz dynamic.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:  build a relationship with snake, see if your muse has romantic or sexual feelings for him, then talk to me about it.

Extremely funny
