Current mood: a “Gil raised on Skifander” au where Zeetha pesters Agatha into asking her brother out by talking about what a HOT COMMODITY he is back home as the EXOTICALLY BEAUTIFUL son of the Queen of Skifander, and how mom has to beat back his suitors with a STICK because there are so many and Gil breaks ALL their hearts because he’s waiting for his One True Love
Gil hears this after a while and is like “NONE OF THAT IS TRUE” but it is. it’s all true. Gil is like, Martian Cleopatra and has at least fifteen love poems written about him every week and he hates it so much
u know the scene from the beginning of Aladdin where the douchy prince storms out because his pants got eaten and Jasmine is like “but daaaaaaaad I want to marry for love” and is a Rebellious Princess™
that’s Gil. Gil is the Rebellious Princess™
I think about this constantly, and also the implications of the implied gender role flip going on in Skifander, and how the
archetype of what a Skiff prince should be is probably like, swoons and lets princesses rescue him, and does subtle political maneuvering behind the curtain and would probably break a nail if he ever picked up a sword, and Gil doesn’t fit that at all but TARVEK ABSOLUTELY DOES
