Just a thought, what if one of the Diamond Dogs recruits got assigned the name Heron? Would Venom react and have no idea why?

Oh man IDK ANON THAT’S A TOUGH QUESTION. I haven’t seen any of the Diamond Dogs with that name so maybe Ocelot thought about that before he hypnotized himself and made a fail-safe ensuring none of the new recruits got that name?

(tbh I only chose that codename for medic because when I loaded up an old save of PW and scrolled through my medical team, the guy that looked closest to the medic in GZ and who looked like he might convincingly be plastic surgeried into BB was some dude named Heron so I was like LOL YEP THERE HE IS. So unglamourous, I know)

I think that would be something that Ocelot might have considered beforehand though, and perhaps Kaz also wanted to ‘retire the codename’ as it were to honour his medic because without spoiling too much of my own fic, Kaz was led to believe he was dead 😮 😮 😮

Do BB for the headcannon thing! =)

What they smell like: Damp cedar and tobacco, earthy maduro, that humidor smell (tbh I love that smell, I always jump on the customers that want to buy a cigar because that means I get to open the humidor and stick my head in ^_^)

How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc): Boring, rigid on a narrow cot on his back. Or in the mud, he’s an animal. But if he’s in bed with Kaz, after he falls asleep he’ll curl into him and let Kaz spoon him

What music they enjoy: BB FUCKING LOVES ELVIS OK

How much time they spend getting ready every morning: Haha none. He’s an animal, he makes the neckbeard look fabulous. But sometimes he’ll take ten minutes to trim/shape it at Kaz’s insistence because it gets scratchy and cumbersome when Kaz gets kissy and affectionate =D

Their favorite thing to collect: He secretly collects photographs of people he cares about because U KNO HE’S SENTIMENTAL, OBVIOUSLY. The Boss, EVA, Ocelot’s punk ass, TONS of pictures of Kaz.

Left or right-handed: Canonically he’s right-handed, but I kind of see him as being ambidextrous

Religion (if any): SANTAISM. No, not satanism, SANTAISM. He loves Santa. T_T

Favorite sport: He likes beach volleyball too. It’s a Thing in the MSF and he just likes tumbling around in the sand with Kaz and Medic. ^_^ HE ALSO LIKES GOLF THOUGH ‘CAUSE HE’S A TYPICAL FRUMPY DAD.

Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc): He’s a massive dork about indigenous plants and animals in the area so he knows whether or not he can EAT THEM

Favorite kind of weather: He likes cold weather and snow ‘cause it makes him think of SANTA

A weird/obscure fear they have: idk, mongooses??? mongeese? what the fuck is the plural for mongoose lol lol lol

The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail: That Test-Your-Strength game with the mallet and the bell. BB fucking breaks the goddamn bell every time (and sometimes the mallet), carnies hate him =D =D =D

Kaz for the hc thing?

What they smell like:  Irish Spring, hair product, laundry. He’s a preener and a vanity boy, but it gets him the ladies (and gentlemen, har har)

How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc): On his tummy, round little bottom in the air  >:) Usually ‘cause he passed out like that from Medic’s/V’s divine backrubs while rubbing himself against the sheets (*^_^*)

What music they enjoy: PW Kaz is a Bowie junkie, but salty pissed off post-fiddles Kaz catches onto the thrash wave that happens in the 80s and sometimes locks his door and rages out to it in his office when no one’s around (and also because it’s the exact opposite of that GARBAGE Quiet listens to, she’s an icky girl with Cipher cooties!!!!111onejuanjuan D:< )
(but he’s secretly still a Bowie junkie, ‘cause Diamond Dogs, obv.)

How much time they spend getting ready every morning: PW preener Kaz….quite a while. Like at least an hour, perfectly combing and poofing that hair. Tying his scarf just so. Getting his belt and holster at that perfect I-don’t-care-this-is-totes-casual-but-not-really angle. Popping the collar on his infantry officer’s jacket kinda but not really. Polishing his Rolex and sunglasses. Post-fiddles Kaz….takes a while too, but for different reasons. 😦 Unless Venom’s helping. Which usually he is. 🙂 

Their favorite thing to collect: notches on his headboard Aside from cassette tapes of pretty much anything from music to TRAIN SOUNDS, he likes to collect rare cigars from various Central American and South American countries for his bae

Left or right-handed: Right T_T 

Religion (if any): I don’t see him being a religious guy. If he even thinks about it at all, I see him being a pretty staunch atheist.

Favorite sport: Beach volleyball ‘cause he likes getting dirty on the beach with the men. =D Post-fiddles, he kinda loses all interest in sports. 😦

Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc): He always goes for the irresponsible off-the-beaten-path shit that the locals recommend, and usually ends up in some horrible den of ill repute, completely loaded out of his mind.

Favorite kind of weather: Anything that doesn’t involve the sun 😦 He prefers still weather with minimal wind ‘cause he doesn’t like getting his hair messed up. PW Kaz prefers warmer weather because it gives him an excuse to strip down and be a tease. Post-fiddles Kaz still enjoys warmer weather, but because after the Skulls attack, for some reason he’s…just…always…so cold… 😦 That’s why he wears so many layers.

A weird/obscure fear they have: Nothing weird, all his fears are pretty rational, since they were conditioned into him. Abandonment, disfigurement, emotional abuse, FOG OR MIST. He and Venom clutch at each other any time there’s a heavy mist over MB.

The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail: DARTS. Even after he loses his dominant arm, he’s still badass at it. He spent so much time playing in local bars that he’s something of a legend. He can still hit the bulls eye pissing drunk.

For the headcanon thing, Venom Snake and/or Medic (if they’re different) :D

I see Medic and Venom as being two different personalities so I’ll do them separately ~

Medic:

What they smell like:

Pretty much like a hospital. Antiseptic, starch, antibacterial soap. With a hint of aftershave maybe.
How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc):

WHENEVER HE CAN, WHEREVER HE CAN. He’s in high demand ‘cause he’s one hell of a medic and usually the only one trained to do emergency surgery on the spot, so he’s used to crashing out on a gurney for twenty minutes at a time, usually stretched out on his back with his legs hanging off LOL. Otherwise, spooning Commander Miller. 🙂
What music they enjoy: Classical and opera. HE SOPHISTICATED. He also may or may not be an adept pianist. 😉 His favourite composer is Rachmaninoff. Also he’s a stereotypical gay boy and LOVES Broadway showtunes but shhhh that’s a secret, that’s his guilty pleasure that no one knows about. =D =D
How much time they spend getting ready every morning:

If he’s just working, not really any time at all. Just long enough for a quick shower and shave. But for downtime/going to the club? This kid peacocks like hell. Takes forever rockabilly-ing the fuck outta his hair so he can go dancing.
Their favorite thing to collect:

SHOWTUNES VINYL. Secretly stashed away under his bed SHHHHHHHHH DON’T TELL, GOOD LORD SO EMBARRASSING he doesn’t dance around
to them

like a teenager at all NOPE
Left or right-handed:

Oh, definitely left. I kind of hc’d medic being a leftie for a while, because that makes for extra suffering because of what happens later.
Religion (if any):

Agnostic, but he converted to Judaism for a bit for REASONS. Not gonna say too much on that at the moment, I don’t wanna spoil my own fic but….I’m sure you could wager a guess.
Favorite sport:

Rugby. He likes to watch. ^_~
Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc):

FOOD. He’s a culinary connoisseur, and, you know, sophisticated. Also the local music scene.
Favorite kind of weather: Cloudy/rainy, because that’s cuddling with Commander Miller weather. 🙂 🙂 🙂
A weird/obscure fear they have: He tries to distance himself from people emotionally because he’s afraid anyone he gets close to will die on him. Again, not gonna expound too much because ~~~ spoilers~~~
The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail:

SKEEBALL. He’s the fuckin skee ball CHAMPION.

VENOM:

What they smell like: Earthy, a bit like an animal, but with some undertones of his old, natural scent from before
How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc):

Curled up on his side, usually spooning tf outta Kaz. He can’t sleep unless he’s holding his bae ^_^
What music they enjoy:

SHITTY 80S SYNTHPOP. Oh man oh man when Klymaxx’s Meeting in the Ladies’ Room dropped, he danced around to it like a fourteen year old girl
How much time they spend getting ready every morning:

Long enough to put that mess into a ponytail/tie on the bandana and he’s G2G
Their favorite thing to collect:

Flowers for Kaz while he’s out in the AO. Kaz’s favourite is digitalis purpurea

^_^
Left or right-handed:

RIGHT but sometimes…sometimes he slips up and subconsciously uses his left and doesn’t know why. He shrugs it off as favouring the bionic arm because it has all the cooler capabilities. T_T
Religion (if any): Atheist
Favorite sport: Beach volleyball. That one kinda translated from BB’s memories, he loves diving into the sand and playing on the beach
Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc):

HE’S A MASSIVE DORK and loves the museums and tourist traps with all the monuments and scenic photo opportunities. He fucking takes polaroids of everything and does group shots with the locals
Favorite kind of weather:

Still likes the rain because he likes splashing around with Quiet and cuddling with his boyfriend. He hates fog/mist though. 😦
A weird/obscure fear they have:

FOG OR MIST. 😦 😦 😦 😦 😦
The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail:

That miniature rifle game of course lol. Kaz’s room is filled with massive pink teddy bears that Venom won for him. ❤ ❤ ❤

Re: Mkaz suppositories, you know medic is just telling him to sit still and stop squirming acting totally innocent to what’s going on but…. He knows……

LOL and medic likes to tease him with it like, “Now Commander, if you don’t hold still we’re gonna have to do this all over again”

And Kaz’s face in the pillow is like 😏

That Catherine HC sounds fantastic…I think it would totally work, too. Its definitely not the normal hc you see with Nadine and Kaz either. 👍👌

Thank you! I’ll probably eventually get started on it once I’ve finished up some of these other drafts, I just need to decide on a definitive date of birth for her and get the entire timeline sorted out to avoid inconsistencies in canon.

I also kind of want to explore Nadine in a way that hasn’t been done before. I don’t see Kaz marrying some average girl, like this is KAZ we’re talking about so she’s got to be some kind of screwed up to be the type he’d settle down with, so I imagine her as being just as volatile, vengeful, and passionately aggressive as he is. Like their first argument is terrifying because they’re both equally vicious. And they’re both a couple of cynical, morally ambiguous mercs who want to watch the world burn.

Also she’s kind of a freak. She totally ate his ass out on their second date.
