i read it over and over and yet it just hit me, the heaviness of the fact shepherd has always been the one to patch himself up, no matter how terrible his injuries, because he could never risk anyone seeing his tattoos and figuring out he's a re-gene. even surrounded by people he could banter with, people who would have his back in a fight, he was alone because of the fear of being recognized + the fear that they would no longer have his back if he told the truth about himself

#rambles.#ortega's and daniel's reaction to learning this. that he always dealt with his injuries (internal and external) himself... falls to my knee #ofc shepherd just got mad at them for caring and he and ortega got into a fight (again)#(kind of justified on shep's part w ortega bc ortega is so fuckin weird)#but also !!! i just think him patching up ur muses. he will look at you and say nothing and try to patch you up #give you a NASTEE look if u try to stop him. huff when he goes to do it. shake his head (he was so worried you weren't gonna make it)#(goes for platonic and romantic)#and then when someone tries to help him he's like ERM. GET BACK 🤺🤺 i can do it myself (i have to) ✋
