metroid is about isolation
but metroid is also about learning to do trick jumps from random animals who celebrate when you get it right, and about saving them even as the planet shudders under your feet
and metroid is about lowering your gun when you meet the last of a species who's only just hatched, and gently holding out your hand
and metroid is about accidentally calling the name of someone you care about, who you thought you'd lost, and finding out they've been with you the whole time
and about a little scribble of a child with their parents tucked into the corner of a grand mural
and about the gifts left behind by others because they may be gone before they get to meet you, but that won't stop them from helping you
metroid is about love actually

found out that the original "grandma got run over by a reindeer" song occasionally dips out of its goofy premise to get weirdly grim and real. hearing the second verse with no santa references that's all about the family dealing with the aftermath of her death ("it's not christmas without grandma") and thinking about my own fears of losing my loved ones and being too embarrassed to explain to my concerned friends why i ran out of the room in tears in the middle of a holiday party
