ghost having absolutely no self esteem until he joins the military and pinning his self-worth on his performance in the field, seeing his only value as a weapon which only gets worse when he’s legally dead and all but owned by the military makes me want to eat glass
#just this kid who was abused and neglected#also tormented by his little brother who he tries to protect from their father#hed be so starved of everything praise kindness touch#then he becomes a soldier and gets approval from an authority figure for the first time#and the better he is in the field the more reckless and ruthless the more praise he gets#he takes that confidence home#kicks out his abusive father gets his brother clean sees him make his own family and finally gets a crumb of happiness#then roba happens and he loses everyone hes ever loved in one fell swoop#and he kills simon riley right along with them#all he has left is the military#so he leaves behind his humanity and becomes an extension of the army#and theres no more praise no more approval bc you dont tell a gun its done a good job#until he joins the 141#and they slowly unearth simon riley from the grave#and they like him for who he is not what he can do for them#not who he can kill#and for the first time in his life he feels valued for who he is#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#simon ghost riley#ghost cod#soapghost#ghostsoap#we’re a team. ghost team
