It’s just so fucked up that Raiden has a son and I’m shocked that no one seems interested in getting into that.
#ive spent like 20 minutes sitting at this post foaming at the mouth and trying to elaborate but it keeps comign out like total nonsense#wg speaks#ask to tag //#metalgearposting#like.#1. like his only frame of reference for a 'normal' childhood is pop culture#and those images to him are as fake and fantastical as kaiju attacks#how the hell can he give that to his kid? going through the gestures with the warmth and familiarity of factory machinery?#2. he represses his own childhood SO hard but now he has to interact with this child. that. looks like he did#he even met john at about the same age as he was when solidus met him#like... he was learning how to handle a gun when he was that small....#how could he possibly avoid being reminded of the things he tries hardest to forget#how could ne see that small face and not feel dread. like he's looking at a past that he's powerless to change#3. well he does actually have a frame of reference for childhood but if he applies it to his own family. he's solidus.#he's gotta be a father when what he knows of a father is that he hurts his children#and god knows he doesnt want to but god he must be scared of the thought that he is. he must feel like a fucking poison#and even if he never does anything wrong its impossible to escape having ANY reminder of what his role is#he'd see john looking up at him with admiration in his eyes and remember when he looked up to his father#and feel like he's dragging this boy straight to hell#he cant be a role model#even if he were 100% sure of his convictions (doubtful) i cant see him not being terrified of john taking after him#tl:do you think raiden gets deja vu
