Picspam: Metal Gear Solid Fanart, Liquid/Snake & General

[hughes]

THIS GAME REKINDLES MY FIERCE AND UNDYING LOVE FOR LIQUID/SNAKE, OLD MAN BODIES BEDAMNED

I GO TO MY OLD FANART FOLDER TO SATISFY MY NEED



...CURSES, IT JUST MAKES IT SO MUCH WORSE

Picspam of my favorite ever hotass LiqSnake fanarts from my favorite ever MGS fanart site. Absolutely NO MGS4-related art or spoilers, but quite a lot of pining for indulgent A/U. And making a goofy fool of myself. Yeah, me. Pining for A/U. WTF IS WRONG WITH ME. Unfortunately, this fanart site has since been shut down, but luckily for me, I cleaned house with saving the images before that happened.

To preface, while I realize that most of this is incredibly OOC...



...this artist makes me crave a well-written, realistically characterized A/U Liquid/Snake-as-actual-brothers fanfiction like no one's business.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THEM.







GODDAMMIT I FEEL ASHAMED BY INDULGENCE BUT AM TOO DAMN INDULGED TO CARE. OH, A/U LIQUID. If circumstances hadn't pushed him in the direction of becoming an evil megalomaniac (which I absolutely ADORE HIM AS, don't get me wrong), I can totally see him as having become a less malicious (but equally self-absorbed) version of his super-badass but ultimately incompetent self, overly ambitious, ridiculously competitive, and constantly making a big, melodramatic, wildly gestured stink over any perceived injustice done against him.



Like so.

And Snake would deal with it with dry humor. And angry insults. Lots of insults.



And emo, apparently. ...OH, SNAKE.

And as if the idea of them being partner FOXHOUND operatives isn't enough to make me die from my own immature (but wholly awesome) desires, the artist has to throw them into a fully MGS3 jungle setting. Yes, I know the other ones are all MGS3 themed but shhhhhhhh





Clearly, they do not have the fortitude of their father.

BUT WE DO GET AN EVA SCENE PARODY PARALLEL





AHAhahahaha... ha.... ....this far-removed-from-canon ridiculousness should not make me baw. D:

I am also way too attracted to the idea of Liquid being able to expose ultimate badass Snake's physical or emotional vulnerability in some way (by non-con force in the actual canon, but also otherwise in A/U) due to his unique connection with him as a twin/brother/clone and his general obsessive/amoral/melodramatic/crazy-ass nature. This is the basis of my love for this pairing.





OF COURSE, this does not mean I want ultimate badass Snake reduced to a wimpy, big-eyed, crybaby uke, which is why I LOVE THIS ARTIST SO. I get indulgent blush and shit, but they still draw both of them like REAL MEN. Dunno what they're saying in that text but uh benefit of the doubt.













OH, LIQUID/SNAKE MMMMMMMF GOD YES



The below picture I can't even attempt to justify as anything more than complete crack, but it's pritty, so I'm posting it anyway.



BUT THEN

A CHALLENGER APPEARS



LIQUID IS NOT AMUSED, though I am, since Liquid/Snake is my favorite MGS pairing and Snake/Raiden is Court's. (THREESOME TIEM? Though I doubt Liquid likes to share uh... ...anything.)

And now a departure from our scheduled gay because DaddySnake is a bad muthafucka.



Now, one of my favorite pictures of DaddySnake and the guy who wishes he was MommySnake (but who isn't because Big Boss is really fucking straight, unlike, you know, EVERY OTHER MAN IN THAT SERIES). I absolutely love the idea of Ocelot being eternally, tragically gay for Big Boss, but I'm not so big on Big Boss returning any of it. Let's face it: the man loves the ladies and I love EVA, so I ain't gonna intervene.



AND SPEAKING OF EVA AND BAD MUTHAS (LITERALLY) THAT IS SOME HAWT FEMMESLASH RIGHT THAR



Now some moar MGS3 what-if, this time with a Gray Fox who apparently wasn't smashed by Liquid's mechanical foot.



And who is awesome.



And suddenly, TIME PARADOX twin snakes trapped in a cave with Raiden.







And Raiden failing awesomely, as always.

ALL TOGETHER NAO???





AND THEN THROW IN AN OTACON AND WE GET UTTER OOC CRACK ADORABLENESS D'AAAAWWWW



^ = generation of win and fantasticness, questionable A/U characterization or not

THE END

My bottom line is that I fucking adore Liquid in any way, shape, or form for reasons I can only partially explain, and I am ecstatic that my previously only vaguely founded, indulgent ideas of his characterization have been constantly and concretely reinforced during the course of this game.

Oh, and I also love him banging Snake, whether it looks like this or this or this.

AWAIT A FULL MGS4 COMPLETE FREAKOUT REPORT ONCE WE FINISH AND THANK YOU AGAIN TO evildrew FOR LIKE A MILLION LIFETIMES
