Spoliers:Why Gus’s grief hit us so hard.

So Spoilers. So much pain in these last few episodes. In the last episode alone we witnessed so much closeness between our cast, and so much tragedy when everything they cared about was ripped away. And it ended in the saddest way it could.

With Gus just falling to the ground sobbing and all of us crying with him. Poor kid won’t calm down tonight..

But that’s okay buddy after everything that’s happened its gonna take all your friends and fans a while to calm down too.

We see a lot of characters cry this episode, the last half of it is very sad. So why does watching Gus cry beak us so much?

Is it because it is the first thing he does in the human realm, a place he has always been fascinated by and wanted to visit?

Is it because he is only 12 and the baby of the group?

Is it because Gus has spent 2 and 3/4 of the show as such a happy and bubbly kid and in the past couple episodes his happy demeanor has been steadily evaporating much to all of his friends concern?

Is it because there is absolutely no way to go get or call Perry to come help his son feel better?

Is it the subtle implications through out the show that, like with Camila and Luz, Perry is a widower and Gus’s second parent died a long time ago (,As we have seen in this realm children can come from either hetro couples or homo couples so its just as possible Gus once has 2 dads as that he once had a dad and a mom) and now he has lost both parents?

Is it how much hunter and Willow are shown to be trying to comfort and take care of him; and how Dana seems to be cleverly turning these three into a foil/parallel of the family that Caleb/Phillip/and Caleb’s wife could have been if Phillip had been able to accept his brother’s change in perspective/ new life?

 Is it perhaps all of these reasons?
