my desire to write about gates and ash won
#1k in just outlining. uh oh.#this was SUPPOSED to be short#v little ash in this#she doesnt actually show up (yet) but she does like. influence everything. so she's still important#also a suprising amt of droz? enough that it'd probably need a relationship tag#platonic bc they're Buds but this specific part of it would be mostly abt them (and how gates forms the 6-4)#(and more generally copes with ash's death)#me: *tries to do anything else productive besides write*#my brain: 'anyways here's how gates processes trauma and her unhealthy coping mechanisms and also how she's terrified of losing those#close to her causing her to become very attached to the point of doing anything to protect them including tearing through imc forces and#putting herself in danger recklessly bc she can't stand the though of being completely alone again now that she's found a (sorta) family'#anyways. gates meta.#there's a lot more but like. limited tags and such.#she has such a rich character im losing my mind over it#its subtle kind of in the way that on the surface level she looks like a put together person but when you poke around like#'why is she so fiercely protective of the 6-4?' 'why did she form a merc group instead of sticking with the militia?'#'what made her leave the imc?' (though thats not confirmed canon)#its just. once u poke into those pieces of her u can kinda start to see all the ways she's deviated from 'standard good guy soldier'#and how she's super layed and nuanced#if respawn had given her more time/content she could've had a hell of a character arc#she has so much POTENTIAL#i just-#gates...#thats it thats the post#head full many thoughts#which is quickly turning into my meta tag#homk honk
