Title: Signifier/the signified
Subject: Past mistakes, existential anxiety, bullet's and carnage, bromance, angst, melancholy
Warnings: None.
Notes: The name, signified/signifier comes from Saussre's proposed language system, where the signifier is that which carries meaning, and the signified is that to which it refers*. I like imagining Philanthropy as the signifier, and ideals that Otacon and Snake carry being the signified, whilst their relationship is the signification that binds the signifier and the signified together. ISN'T THAT ROMANTIC, FFFFU.
postmodernity seems to walk a fine line between meaninglessness and profunditySorry for the hodge-podge of genres, guys. :"(
Also mgs1-mgs2 centric. I haven't played mgs4 yet. Blasphemy, I know.
