#thinking abt most things in metal gear under the context of#severing yr ties from yr fate based solely on your genes and kindve Killing your heritage in order to become yourself#aka whats usually watered down to ''killing your father'' in most analysis' of mgs . nd i think abt it sooo so much#so w that context viewing the ''what are we fighting for'' scene between otacon and snake is sooo . because they both have shitty fathers n#are tied down by the belief that their blood is Cursed and theyre destined to adhere to it (the emmerich curse in otacons case) yet despite#that they both fight AGAINST it . and its a path full of pain and loneliness. but they tread onward!! they dont just dig their heels into#the ground and give up!! they go forward !! and even though at the time it all seemed futile that it was all pointless as they were activel#Becoming their fathers/adhering to their genes and questioning if it was even worth it to try they DID!!!!#nd it payed off !!!!!!!!!!! idk . i think abt it a bunch . htis probably makes no sense im so sosrry#txt
