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
