Squirrelking is a legendary fanfiction writer at fanfiction.net. Along with Peter Chimaera, Squirrelking is one of the novelists who made fanfiction writing an art. Perhaps most known for the Halflife: Fulllife Consequences and Metal Gear Solid: Fight of Metal Gears series (both of which has yet to be concluded from their respective nail-biting cliffhangers), Squirrelking is renowned for his abilities to take from existing universes, and add new characters who bear relation to the original characters we love dearly.
Despite Squirrelking saying he has "only been speaking english for not that long", his words speak to readers in a way Shakespeare could never convey.

A Critical Analysis of the Works of Squirrelking
Halflife: Fullife Consequences
This page contains spoilers — Important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example,
HOLY SHIT Gordon Freeman dies!!!1
Squirrelking's legendary works begin with Halflife: Fulllife Consequences, which is arguably his most famous work. This is the piece to first introduce us to John Freeman, who is Gordon Freeman's brother. In a stark contrast to his brother, we open with John Freeman in an office, typing on a computer, showing that John lives a far simpler life than his brother. However, when John receives an e-mail from his brother that says that aliens and monsters are attacking his place, John is quick to rise to the occasion and face the titular "Fulllife Consequences".
Squirrelking's unusual descriptions of the countryside are amongst the most eclectic seen in fiction (the countryside 'are nice', according to John Freeman's observations) and it also evokes a beautiful surreality when Squirrelking reveals that the sun and the birds are almost down from the top of the sky. It is also mentioned that the pants are dead in Ravenholm - called 'Ravenholdm' in SquirrelKing's fascinating break from canon - once again demonstrating that SquirrelKing will consider even the pants in his bleak epic.
A small but colorful cast of characters, such as the headcrab officer and the zombie goasts, and an appearance by Gordon Freeman himself, as well as a surprise twist at the end where Squirrelking takes from many video games and shows that what we think is the final fight is never the true finale, and leaves us desiring to see John Freeman get revenge on the evil boss.
Halflife:FullLife Consequences 2:WhatHasTobeDone
This page contains spoilers — Important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example,
HOLY SHIT Gordon Freeman becomes a headcrab zombie!!!1
Squirrelking immediately follows up with a sequel to Halflife: Fulllife Consequences. The sequel, despite being far lesser known, is far more heartrending than its predecessor. Though Squirrelking himself simply describes the story with a short sentence, stating "John Freeman has to kill evil next boss and live up to fulllife consequences", we see more of John Freeman's character, and how the surprise twist ending of the first story has taken its toll on John Freeman. The readers can truly feel John's emotions when he swears revenge on the next boss, stating "I WILL KILL THE BOSS AND GORDON FREEMAN WILL BE HAPPY SOUL!"
We also view that John Freeman is a very serious person, refusing to call his brother anything but his full name. His mother's e-mail seems to imply that she, too, calls both her sons by their first and last name, implying that John and Gordon grew up in a very strict household. This seems to be Squirrelking cleverly explaining the reason for Gordon's constant silence (other than when around John), giving us a new way to think of the character we are already familiar with. It is interesting, however, to note, that despite John's serious stature, he attempts to make friends with the zombie goasts he meets, trying to avoid killing them and instead offering them the chance to move to the countrysides and be friends of John Freeman. However, the zombie goasts, despite being undead, are killed by John Freeman, showing the futility of trying to avoid death.
Thanks to the power of the internet, John Freeman discovers the weakness of the next boss, and his longtime rival is finally destroyed by a rocket launcher, because that was his weakness. Once again, the story ends on a cliffhanger, more shocking and heartrending than the first. The cliffhanger truly leaves us wondering what will happen next--with John Freeman's motives being to avenge his dead brother, what effect will his brother's zombification and subsequent seeking of vengeance against John have upon him? Truly, this is a cliffhanger for the ages.
Oddly, the "Tobe" character mentioned in the title never appears, and we never find out what he has done.
Metal Gear Solid: Fight of Metal Gears
This page contains spoilers — Important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example,
HOLY SHIT Jake Snake shoots something special at Metal Gears!!!1
JAKE SNAKE BEHIND YOU!
JAKE SNAKE BEHIND YOU!
Metal Gear Solid: Fight of Metal Gears contends with Halflife: Fulllife Consequences for Squirrelking's most renowned work. It is a popular piece among the populace of 4chan's /v/, in specific. This fanfiction introduces us to Jake Snake, the son of Solid Snake. The story opens telling the readers that shockingly, Solid Snake was old and died before, and his kid Jake Snake had to do things now for the world. Jake Snake grew up with Solid Snake and helped him beat metal gears but now Solid Snake was not there anymore and only Jake Snake was.
After the introduction, we view a flashback to an emotional conversation between Jake Snake and Solid Snake, in which Solid Snake tells Jake his fate will, like his own, forever be to "do what needs to be done". Soon after Solid Snake's death, Jake Snake is immediately thrust into his role of needing to do things for the world, as an old friend of Solid Snake's, Otacon, calls him up to inform him that Metal Gears are fighting in Out Heaven. Jake Snake decides to step up to the plate and emotionally tells Otacon, "Otacon you were Solid Snakes friend and i want you to be my friend so i will fight metal gears too". This is a testament to the strong character of Jake Snake.
Along the way Jake Snake is shown to be different from his father, perhaps due to his youth. He prefers cigars over cigarets and tries to reason with his enemies rather than outright killing them. However, he does indeed "do what needs to be done" and isn't afraid to kill, even at his young age.
The story ends with Jake Snake fighting Metal Gears, and interestingly shooting "something special" at them. What this special something is, though, will have to wait for the sequel.
Metal Gear Solid: Fight of Metal Gears 2
This page contains spoilers — Important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example,
HOLY SHIT Revolver Ocelot killed Solid Snake and he did it slow and he was hurting a lot!!!1
Oh, it's the sequel already. Well, for the record, the special thing Jake Snake shot at the Metal Gears was "a nuke that kills only metal gears but not Jake Snake". Not surprisingly, the nuke killed the metal gears but not Jake Snake, although the radiation did render him sterile.
After wrapping up the suspense of the slight cliffhanger, we continue to view Jake Snake's journey through Out Heaven. He comes into a conflict with a Boss Metal Gear, who taunts Jake Snake for his youth, and perceived inability to kill. However, Jake Snake proves he is "NOT SMALL CHILD" and shoots the Boss Metal Gear with a fire gun. This, his swift defeat of 10 bad guys, and his following conversation with Otacon shows that Jake Snake is becoming disturbingly like his violent father.
The story ends with us meeting an old enemy of Solid Snake's, as Squirrelking had promised--Revolver Ocelot comes back to fight Jake Snake. He taunts his young opponent, and we discover the cause of Solid Snake's death--Ocelot had killed him, saying he "did it slow and he was hurting a lot". This prompts Jake Snake to attack him. Once more, parallels are drawn between Jake Snake and Solid Snake, as Jake must now don an eyepatch due to his encounter with Ocelot.
Once again, Squirrelking boldly ends with a cliffhanger, in which Jake Snake looks around and coffs and is dying almost.
Halo: Halos in Space
This page contains spoilers — Important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example,
HOLY SHIT Human people army guys were all dying fast!!!1
Squirrelking makes a bold change from his writing formula--the protagonist in Halo: Halos in Space is not related to the main character of Halo--in stark contrast, he is far different. We are introduced to Joe Chief, who was in space and had wepons and was a army guy but he wasnt a robot liek Master Chief so he didnt fly.
Joe Chief is shown to be able to act quick under pressure, quickly being able to take out aliens by shooting them in teh legs. He cooly states, "Aliens we are human people and you are aliens but we dont need to kill things like us" before pushing aliens into space. These aliens are easily defeated, but soon the Flood comes, and every thing got wet and messy and lightningy becaus water hit teh space tv and all the things and made sparks. Joe Chief is shown to be very caring for his fellow soldiers, making sure they come in ship. After everyone gets on, Joe Chief had to fly fast and go a round tings liek alien ships and things. Then out of no where BOOM happend and the back of the espcape ship fell open n one of the army guys fell out and explodd in space then another one closed it and said "NOOOOO HE WAS MY BROTHER!" and then got tired and slept.
Just when things seem to be looking grim for Joe Chief and the few survivors with him, Joe Chief declares "no we win" to himself. Why? We'll have to find out in the next installment.
FFVII: Story of Rain Strife
Rain Strife with the token black guy.
Rain Strife with the token black guy.
This page contains spoilers — Important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example,
HOLY SHIT comets came down to Strifetown and killd people in Strifetown and Rain Strifes parents who were Cloud Strifes parents too!!!1
FFVII: Story of Rain Strife is a short interlude written to keep suspense for the sequel to Halo: Halos in Space. In it we are introduced to the younger brother of Cloud Strife, Rain Strife, who lived in Strifetown. Rain Strife was too young to join Cloud during the events of Final Fantasy 7, so he often was pracktising so he could one day do it like Cloud Strife. Squirrelking seems to incorrectly think that Cloud gets it on, but he's too much of a faggot for sex with the three hot women he is surrounded by.
Anyway, comets rain down upon Strifetown and Midgar, and all around the people are crying for a hero like Cloud Strife. Rain decides to live up to his family name and face full life consequenc--err, fight Sephiroth. Rain helps people if they are hurting, and then goes off to travel over the lands and hills and ground and water and wanted to stop Sephiroth to make him stop hurting people in Strifetown and all other towns in Fantasyworld. He is shown to be very strong, as despite not having members to help yet when he gets into a fight, Rain Strife fights enemies on his own. Rain is also shown to be a good dancer.
Rain builds a deep hatred of Sephiroth once he discovers Sephiroth came to another town. He meets BarretNOT BARRET, who is addressed only as "balck guy with gun on hands" to show Rain's racist side. Barret joins Rain's side, and the two fight more bad guys.
The story ends with something bad happening. Oh shit.
Halo: Halos in Space 2: Aliens attack
This page contains spoilers — Important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example,
HOLY SHIT Joe Chief broke the spines off so the spines alien said “OW” to!!!1
This story is significantly longer than the average work of Squirrelking. The story was written over a year after its predecessor, and during this time Squirrelking has shown he has mastered the art of the paragraph.
To be honest, the story is pretty tl;dr. But the basic gist of it is that "Aliens shoot Joe Chief but Joe Chief is shooting back!". Once again, a cliffhanger. The doors were closed almost so Joe Chief ran fast and jumped to try to get under the door, but...
Cinematic adaptations of the author's work
While a large variety of cinematic auteurs have attempted to transfer Squirrelking's genius onto the silver screen, very few of them have had anywhere near a tenth the talent Squirrelking has in his pinky finger, and thus the majority of them flop miserably. Perhaps the most successful adaptation has been the following series of blockbuster computer-animated flicks, based on Squirrelking's epic tale Half Life: FullLife Consequences:
The first attempt to encapsulate the sheer volume of win that is Half-Life: Hero Beggining:
Two more from the creators of the first;
The epic conclusion to the Full Life Consequences saga:
Those who prefer a more old-school animation style can sample this instead:
(LQ's Fanfic Theatre) Metal Gear Solid: Fight of Metal Gears
And another adaptation of Jake Snake's epic drama
Since there was no third fanfiction by the original creator and consequentially no machinima or video, a machinima of a fanfiction of a machinima series of a fanfiction series was made.
If you know of any others that come anywhere near to the standard of these, you can help Encyclopedia Dramatica by adding them.
