I Have To Say It. At Some Point, I Need A Drawing Of Hal And Lina Being Chubby. Both Of Them. Specially

I have to say it. At some point, I need a drawing of Hal and Lina being chubby. Both of them. Specially in their life after the events of the fic.

I'm ready with my online ticket for the @mgscon 2 but I'm still thinking about travelling... Only if my irl Otacon was willing to go with me... but it seems he doesn't wanna... and I'm kind of afraid to go alone...

For the canon asks: 🪐 :)

🪐: What would be your most popular AU and why?

I really think that, the most popular AU could be one that I want to write after TEC, that's Hal and Lina being together as teenagers. With Lina helping Hal to cope with all his problems at Home (following the original lore, so yeah. It will talk about Julie and how she abused him) and all the problems that he probably had at school too, and how they will manage to run away to try to get a better life together. Even if this one will be narrated in a retrospective way, with Hal telling us all their story from Shadow Moses and how they broke up after years of relationship...

(Yeah... People like angst... So that is the angst/no happy ending for Lina and this is the actual cover for that fic)

📝❤️💞 for the canon ask (three bcs yes >:3)

📝: How would your story in canon go? How would you influence the events of the original story?

This is so hard for me to answer because I have too much respect for the original lore, so my mind cannot place Lina in MGS because of Wolf.

In Mgs2, I could see her getting involved with Hal. I even think she could have a son with him, because I think the hostage rescue could be more touching if Snake could say something like "Remember, someone's waiting for you at home", but then Mgs4… And Naomi; This meant (in my mind) Hal and Lina should separate.

So that's all the reason behind why TEC happens after Mgs4.

So I have to admit that I didn't imagine Lina in the canon at all. I only imagine her with Hal when he was a teenager (and she breaks up with him when he goes to Shadow Moses and meets Wolf) and with the older Hal after Mgs4.

❤️: How popular is you x your f/o? Are you a rarepair?

I have a feeling that it could be just the way it is now. Few people enjoy seeing them as a couple. Because we all like the Hal/Dave relationship. But I want to believe that someone might like them.

💞: Aside from with your f/o, who else would you commonly be shipped with? Why?

I don't know if some people could ship Lina with Dave or see polyamory between the three of them. But to me it could be somehow logical (even if I only ship Lina with Hal).

I have gotten a lot of positive comments about the fact that I have never put Snake to the side in my fic, and they like the fact that he is still there. But I would really like to hear a reader's opinion. Maybe they could put Lina on a ship I never imagined ❤️

Thank you so much for asking T_T
