Yes, Based On The Fact That It Says Otacon Is Jewish, I See Strangelove As Matrilineally Jewish. I Think

yes, based on the fact that it says otacon is jewish, i see strangelove as matrilineally jewish. i think a lot of people use her existence to say oh, him being jewish was retconned out, but who’s to say she wasn’t jewish? jews have lived in the uk for hundreds of years, and she is from the city (manchester) with the second largest jewish population in the country (after london) and besides the fact that she is british and from manchester we know nothing about her family history so there’s literally nothing to say she isn’t jewish.

i do think huey’s side was jewish too, bc i think that was meant to be the implication originally…even if huey is shit representation lol…

obviously none of these characters are religious, they’re all scientists with a bit of a reddit athiest vibe to them, but judaism is an ethnoreligion so you can be jewish without being observant. you can even celebrate holidays and stuff without really believing. i think otacon was raised secular, but jewish enough that he had a very cringe bar mitzvah with a nerdy theme (exact theme tbd, it would have been in 1993 so idk what nerd shit was big then, taking suggestions) because i think that would be funny.

i consider myself the ceo of jewish otacon. i bring a “did you know a 1998 handbook for metal gear solid 1 listed otacon’s ethnicity as jewish american, and while that was never elaborated upon, it was never contradicted either?” vibe to the fandom that is mildly annoying.

it also counts in reform judaism if ur patrilineal and raised jewish. sorry i saw ur tags and used it as an excuse to dump my hcs i think huey raised him mostly secularly but i hc that otacon’s gramdma was still alive and wanted her grandson to have a bar mitzvah otherwise i think they were kinda a hanukkah only family. maybe passover sometimes… i hc that julie and emma were christian tho so they started celebrating christmas when julie married huey therefore otacon associates christmas with julie HAHA now BOTH halves of otasune have christmas trauma!!

honestly i bet kaz’s wife was cheating on him and he 100% knew when she announced she was pregnant (considering he is infertile) but didn’t have a leg to stand on (pun ENTIRELY UNINTENTED) because he’s been having hatesex with big boss for many years of their marriage. so they just have an unspoken agreement not to discuss eachother’s respective infidelity until one of them hits a breaking point and a messy divorce ensues.

my post kaz kazuhira miller read a really good fic with a similar premise. i’ll see if i can find it. i do think it’s possible that kazwife died tho bc how else would he get custody to take catherine to rural alaska but divorce is more fun

Do you prefer Big Boss and Ocelot having the dynamic of brothers or lovers?

i think ocelot is in love with big boss while big boss sees ocelot as a brother (tho is not weirded out by ocelot’s attraction to him, as one would be with their actual brother lol) because i love messiness and unrequited love <3

Tags

ask i think big boss is very interested in the fact that ocelot is the boss’ son and that’s part of why he is so drawn to ocelot so that’s brotherly bc he sees the boss as a mother figure but i don’t think his feelings towards ocelot are so brotherly that he wouldn’t bang him lol ocie’s feelings are more clear cut. nothing brotherly about that it is pure insane romantic love so if i had to choose i would say lovers. but i don’t think bb is ‘in love’

"Raiden is a metrosexual" how could you do that to psm. They wanted him so bad they're in actual shambles rn. They might even cancel the magazine /joke

raiden is meterosexual SPECIFICALLY to crush adam warren’s (psm comic artist who draws slutty raiden) dreams
