You know what? I am actually legitimately pissed off about the Shaun tags.
Ya’ll are like “He’s so cold and unfeeling! I’m your fucking father/mother! You should love me! You should adore me!”
Bitch, he lived for 60+ years never even fucking knowing you. You took a god damn nap, woke up 210 years later and spent a year collecting garbage and saying “Hm, I wish this game would have given me time with my kid so I could give a shit about him.”
Don’t sit there and play the fucking victim card you hypocritical jackasses. You had more time with him than he did with you. You were there when he was a baby in the crib, playing with him. Running to the vault and seeing how much your characters friggin loved him.
He. Never. Knew. You.
He. Doesn’t. Remember. You.
“He treats me like I’m some…experiment!”
He thinks it’s fascinating that you could unconditionally love someone you don’t know just because he’s your kid! You missed 60+ years of his life, found out he’s the head of this “evil organization” and you still love him just because he’s your son!
“It’s wrong that he thinks your husband was collateral damage!”
HE DIDN’T KNOW HIS DAD. HE WAS RAISED BY SCIENTISTS IN SAFETY UNDERGROUND NEVER KNOWING HIS PARENTS.
My great grandmother killed herself by drowning herself in the river when I was a kid. When I found out, I didn’t actually…feel sorry. I felt bad that she committed suicide, but I didn’t miss her. I didn’t feel love for her. I didn’t feel shit past “Oh wow that’s horrible that you assholes just let her do it”. Why? I DIDN’T KNOW HER.
Yet he tells you that he thawed you out, organized you to cross paths with Kellog and felt it was some sort of revenge on both of your parts that you killed him.
He set you free to see if you would go off and look for him. If your love was really strong enough to push you through hell and high water to find your missing son.
You were an experiment, but you were more than that. You were a reminder that he could have had a life filled with love instead of hard numbers and cold facts. Kellog was a reminder that the Institute took that away from him. Your survival was proof that you love him so much and it’s remarkable.
He thawed you out because he wanted to know.
If after all of these years,
after all of the rumors and harsh and horrible things you heard about the institute
if you’d still love him.
He’s a dying old man taking a break from his hard work he dedicated his life to to reflect on what he’d missed out on before he died.
He just wanted to meet his father/mother.
He just wants you to love him, even if he doesn’t know how to properly respond to it.
Your dedication to him is remarkable.
BRRRRRRRRT!
I still think that my favorite urban legend/folklore fact is that there are certain areas in New Orleans where you cannot get a taxi late at night not because it isn’t safe, but because taxi companies have had recurring problems of picking up ghosts in those areas who are not aware that they are dead and disappearing from the cab before reaching the destination and therefore stiffing the driver on the fare causing a loss for the company.
He is trying his best

Danse: When you found out you were a synth... was it hard?
Nick: Why would it be? You are still you. It's who you're, what you were before is what you are now, just you have a few "upgrades"
Danse: Then why can't I cope?
Nick: Because of what you were taught to believe. You were taken in and helped by your one sole purpose in life. It's hard to break away from stuff like that. It's gonna take time you know. It's not easy I'll admit, but once you accept it, it will just become apart of life like there was nothing wrong... Before you knew, I assume life was as it was. You just have some new knowledge now that some people can't cope with. That's the only difference and that's why it's so hard to be who you're. But that's doesn't matter. The only one that matters is you. What you believe and how it makes you feel...
Danse: Wow. Thank you. I feel... hated but maybe-
Nick: I never had a problem with you per say. You were a decent man, you still are. Don't let Maxson do this to you. You are you, you're still an honourable man...
Danse: Maybe.
Nick: What is it about being a synth that makes you less a man than you were before you knew? Before you knew you were still a synth Danse. Before they knew, you were still what you're now. The only difference is that now they know it's pissed them off that one of their bravest Paladins was what they hate. Nothing more... you are still Danse to everyone here and you're a better man for it, trust me.
Danse: I never thought of it that way.
Nick: You're a smart man Danse. You'll figure it out. Besides no matter what happens, there will always be people in this world that accept you. That includes me.
Danse: And I accept you then.
Nick: I know that's a hard thing for you to do...
Danse: No. Not anymore. We're friends. That's what friends do, yes?
Nick: *laughs* Glad to know you're learning.
