Feeding Your God ass meme right here
LMAO
Do you think you’d ever finish the wendi fic for the event that didn’t happen? Or perhaps post what was written?
So there were a lot of ideas and I had an idea what it was going to be. Pretty much some new soldier thinking they can get with the Captain. Unaware of literally everything else. You can see more details about that in the tag on my blog it was pretty much the last thing I talked about.
There are a thousand words in the doc though and I highly doubt I'll ever finish it but I'll post it here.
A sneak peak for the people of my new fic.
I had an idea last night and started writing it today. The idea was 09 Ghost being a lore accurate Wendigo and MacTavish is kinda into him.
He scanned the surrounding forest before his keen ears picked up….ripping? He made his way into the trees and towards the steadily growing noise. Eventually, he turned a tree and there was Ghost he however wasn’t alone. Ghost was sitting crouched on the ground over a man mask pulled over his nose revealing a pale gaunt face covered in blood. The man below him was ripped to pieces and he watched as Ghost leaned down once again and sank his teeth into the man's flesh before pulling and ripping off a chunk of flesh and quickly devoured it. Ghost ate quickly and methodically and in dawning horror MacTavish realized the man was still alive. The man had been presumably paralyzed because he didn’t scream in pain only scrunched up his face in anguish.
MacTavish stumbled backwards foot landing on a stick causing it to snap under his weight. Ghost’s head shot up sunken eyes wild mouth still full of flesh being pulled into a snarl. MacTavish quickly raised his hands in surrender backing away slowly. This wasn’t his lieutenant right now this was a feeding predator who would kill if its food was threatened. He could relate he was a selkie after all. Riley’s eyes focused slightly as he came back to himself as blood dripped onto the forest floor in the following silence. “Why did yous come lookin’ for me captain?” Riley asked as he went back to his meal and continued to eat undeterred.
MacTavish to Riley (MacTavish is also guilty)

@azilver is out here trying to break all of yall's hearts
I need to give my Wendigo Ghost rant!
I don't think I've told the whole of Tumblr why I made him a wendigo.
Ok so things you need to know about wendigos.
1. They are created from desperation
2. To become one you need to digest human flesh
3. They are synonymous with colder climates specially Southern Canada and Northern America AKA the old Algonquian tribe territory where the Wendigo myth originated from
4. The only way their killed is by fire
5. In some stories they are insanely smart
SO MY REASONING CONSISTS OF A FEW POINTS.
Ghost was tortured in many ways under Roba and a known thing that has been studied is the horrendous effect eating a human will have on the psyche. Trying to break ghost it's not out of the realm of possibility he would be fed human flesh.
It is a logical assumption then that being so desperate to survive plus the consumption of human flesh could lead to the creation of a wendigo.
Wendigos do not need to be created from Northern climates. Even though it's typical it is not necessary. The reason the north is so prevalent is because of long winters without food. There's a higher chance of running out of food in the winter in Northern climates than in southern ones. So cold is not necessary.
Next is the fire aspect answer me this how does Ghost die in the original games? That's right ding ding ding he gets burnt to death!! And what does that sound familiar to?!
Finally the 'powers' of a wendigo. Wendigos don't necessarily have powers rather they're just enhanced humans. They turn beastly because to eat another human is so horrendous there's no way you could be human if you did it. Wendigos are super fast and super strong near unkillable and are forever hungry. Ghost is in cannon pretty much all of that he is a legend with so much mythos surrounding him it makes him seem inhumane.
Lastly just some extra points. In some stories wendigos are extremely intelligent for example in one a one to go captured a boy and continue to feed him until he was fatter and good enough to eat. In that same story the one to go set the boy into town to get more food but the boy told the townspeople. The townspeople hunted down the wendigo and cut off all of its limbs. They came back weeks later and the Wendigo was still alive and it was eating the marrow out of its own bones. They then cut off its head and it officially died.
So at least in that story wendigos can be extremely intelligent and I'd argue Ghost was tactical enough to fit that description.
Anyways thank you for coming to my ted talk
