#even if i didn’t interpret gortash as incapable of emotions such as love/empathy/sadness in the traditional sense. i still don’t think

[eye-of-yelough]

my warm going on hot take is i don’t think gortash would care much at all if the player told him raphael died. i think it would seriously just be like “HA! nicely done >:)” and that’s it.

i sincerely don’t think they had much of a relationship whatsoever, especially not a father/son one. it was probably more akin to the relationship between a head teacher and the biggest brat in the private school. just mutual “oh gods, not this fucking guy again” whenever they pass each other in the halls.

jokes aside, i really don’t see gortash as traumatised by his childhood at all, at least not in the traditional sense. it made him who he is today. he wouldn’t change a thing. he may not like raphael, or nubaldin, or his parents, but the past is the past and gortash is a man of the future, of progress. i don’t think he even thinks about them.
