i’ve seen a couple people say that gordon ‘came back wrong’ and while i think that reading can work i personally don’t see it that way. gordon has been dealing with this trauma the whole time, he just hasn’t been acknowledging it because he’s been in crisis mode and putting warren before himself. we have also, up to this point, only seen what gordon chose to tell us. he’s been the one pressing record and deciding what things are important enough to share. but gordon doesn’t have a gun pointed at him any more, nor does he have control over what the listeners get to hear. now warren is okay and gordon doesn’t have to take care of him anymore. he’s the one being taken care of, and there’s nothing he can do except recover. there’s nothing ‘more important’ he can turn his attention to to avoid looking inward at how his experiences at red valley have affected him. and yeah obviously hypersleep messed him up, but so much of this was already there under the surface. and that’s what makes all of this so devastating, especially given the fact that he survived hypersleep because of his trauma at red valley. he’s alive and not okay, but only because he wasn’t okay to begin with

For something lighthearted, wywnth is the first time we're seeing Gordon and Warren interact with each other that isn't a recording!

something something gordon didn't come back wrong but he thinks he did

oh my god he didn’t come back wrong but the world he came back to was wrong
