I mean of course Ocelot cares more than he lets on sometimes, just look at Kaz’s rescue mission, you so much as squirt him with the water pistol and Ocelot blows a fucking gasket and screams at you

And when you finally find Kaz at that outpost, Ocelot can barely hide the hope and excitement in his voice. “Wait – is that..??”

Or if you gently set Kaz down and move more than two meters away, Ocelot panics. “That’s Miller! You can’t just LEAVE HIM THERE!!!”

And when Kaz has his outbursts, Ocelot is accidentally on purpose gentle with him, like with Quiet shooting at the helicopter blades, Ocelot just kind of delicately puts a hand on his shoulder to restrain him

Kaz is oblivious to his feelings and continues to hate him

Totally agree. Also when Venom brings Quiet to MB, after the cinematic Ocelot says “Leave Miller to me”. He’s the one who will handle Kaz’s anger instead of Venom.

My perverted ass just likes to imagine Kaz had Ocelot take the cane to his ass to help him clear his head a little
( ͡͡ ° ͜ ʖ ͡ °)

Right at the beginning too, when Venom gets out of the hospital, Ocelot says something along the lines of how a man told him to rescue him, and then rescue the man himself, which is obviously Miller. Firstly, you can hear a sort of reverence in his voice when he says that, almost like he’s in awe of him. Secondly, I guess you could argue that now that they’ve got Venom, Miller would become less vital to Diamond Dogs (not completely disposable obviously, more in the sense that Venom means they still have a commander and they’re not going to fall apart just because Miller’s gone) so losing him won’t mean the end of Diamond Dogs, but Ocelot won’t even consider leaving him, even though it means pushing an almost totally unproven Venom into a potentially very risky mission less than two weeks out of a nine year coma. I think there was a real risk of that mission going hideously wrong, but Miller would die a horrible death otherwise, and Ocelot couldn’t stand it

My favourite reason for replaying the Phantom Limbs mission is just listening to Ocelot keep stressing how important it is that Kaz is rescued right now immediately and just hearing his tone of voice as he’s talking about him. And when you come up on
Ghwandai

and Ocelot’s like “That’s it, that’s where they’re holding Miller.  ……….I hope to hell he’s alright” or somesuch, and then he promptly follows up with a half-ass neutral thing to deflect like “……….He’s not your average client.” Which is like. REALLY, OCELOT. NICE SAVE, YOU’RE NOT OBVIOUS AT ALL YOU COY KITTEN.

Also I like to think that when Ocelot went after Miller before the Shadow Moses incident, he had an emotional breakdown the moment he saw him and couldn’t go through with killing him, so he helped him fake his death instead, mostly as a ruse to fool Liquid. Neurotoxins like tetrodotoxin have capabilities of inducing a coma that mimics death, and so while Kaz is in that weird catatonic state where he’s vaguely aware of what’s going on around him but is paralyzed and can’t move or speak, Ocelot takes all the necessary precautions to ensure he survives the poisoning and confesses how he feels about him while he’s keeping him stable.

Kaz doesn’t remember any of it when he finally recovers. T_T

@saintambrose
Your headcannons give me life
I also think that Ocelot helped Kaz fake his death, no way he could had killed him ;__;

Was it one of you guys who was recently saying how the animosity between Ocelot and Kaz seems pretty one-sided on Kaz’s part? Cause I noticed that too, and it’s a very interesting thing. All their bickering tends to be on the impersonal side, too; more “that idea/decision is terrible”, surprisingly little “that idea is terrible and you are an asshole.” It’s funny how Ocelot, the guy we know from MGS1 as Blackhat McBackstab, ends up coming across as having a muted compassionate side. It would be fascinating to see more of how they interact as Kaz calms down from being preoccupied with revenge and hating everything. I can definitely see Ocelot as the one who’d be inclined to offer an olive branch.

Or cane. I am 100% down with that, too (☞゚∀゚)☞

(Also, if you happen to, say, be an idiot and jump down something too high while carrying Miller so you drop him, Ocelot gets hilariously mad. Don’t ask how I know this.) 

Haha yeah, that was me. I’ve been compulsively replaying missions over and over so that I can revisit really subtle details for when I’m writing fic, and it’s something that became really conspicuous after multiple playthroughs. It’s also really interesting to see how toned down Ocelot’s gotten since MGS3, like he seems almost humbled. I touched upon the weird one-sided dynamic between them a little in my last fic, but I’m definitely revisiting it a lot more in the future. There’s just so much delicious potential for suffering there.

Toned-down Ocelot was sad in some ways, because I love him being a big goofy theatrical dork, but also interesting because you get to see there’s a quieter human side along with all the supervillain drama. 
But really I just wanted to say that dang, that was a good fic. Really made the dynamic between them feel right, and that is a hard, hard thing to do. 

omg thank youuuu (//∇//)

It was honestly one of the most challenging things I’ve written, it took me months to perfect Ocelot’s ‘voice’ and how he relates to Kaz without being super OOC

I mean of course Ocelot cares more than he lets on sometimes, just look at Kaz’s rescue mission, you so much as squirt him with the water pistol and Ocelot blows a fucking gasket and screams at you

And when you finally find Kaz at that outpost, Ocelot can barely hide the hope and excitement in his voice. “Wait – is that..??”

They’re not friends. But they need to get used to coexisting.

A glimpse at what Revolver Ocelot and Kazuhira Miller got up to while the Snakes were sleeping.

Almost 10,000 words of explicit Ocelhira trash with a side of suffering. 

Ha – and look at that, this would be the second time I’ve been the first to introduce a new kink to the MGS fandom. This is probably my greatest life achievement tbh

Do you ever wonder if the Miller/Ocelot rivalry is one-sided? Like Kaz isn’t exactly subtle about how much he hates Ocelot, but I don’t think Ocelot hates or even dislikes Kaz. I feel like he’s very guarded and sometimes defensive around him because of how hostile Kaz always is toward him, but I think Ocelot actually cares a lot about Kaz and can’t really show it because he knows just how much Kaz hates him. Just pay close attention to the beginning, when Ocelot is debriefing Venom right after he rescues him from the hospital. He sounds borderline protective, even marginally plaintive and worried, and keeps stressing urgency in how important it is that we get Kaz the fuck out of there right now.

Also I think about what they got up to while V and BB were asleep, like it’s very clear that they worked together for an undisclosed amount of time before Venom came to MB. I’m pretty sure there was some hate sex and some serious BDSM that went on, but I think Ocelot might have genuinely started enjoying intimacy with Kaz while Kaz only saw him as an object and a distraction.

And then at the end where they’re discussing BB’s plan and how one will have to kill the other, Ocelot sounds pretty dejected and like he genuinely doesn’t want it to come to that, like he’s trying to talk Kaz down and maybe make one last attempt at being something resembling friends, but Kaz is pretty staunchly like fuck off. So you can imagine how difficult it must have been when Ocelot finally goes to kill Master Miller. Or that Ocelot simply can’t do it and just ends up helping Kaz fake his death.

***also fuck he was holding on to Kaz’s sunglasses for hell knows how long and knew the importance of getting them back to him I mean jesus come the fuck on

idk I just like the idea of Ocelot being secretly heartbroken over two one-sided romances and developing that cocky attitude as a defense mechanism for how much he’s pining over men who will never see him the way he wants them to
