Gabriel de León & Dior Lachance❤️‍🔥 favorite father-daughter duo

[thespianwordnerd]

The announcement of all the scripts on the BBC writers page has sent me right back to reading the EOTD script and...I know it's been two years but is anyone else still amazed that this was like, a real thing that actually happened on TV. Like...they really did that for us. These were Yaz's actual lines and no one had any idea at the time how much those simple words would change all our lives. Wild.

“But don’t you see? We don’t get broken. We’re made broken. We are not whole alone. But if we’re blessed, if we’re brave, we might find those few whose edges fit against our own. Like pieces of the same puzzle, or shards of the same shattered blade. Those people who, in their own broken way, make our broken edge complete.”

Jay Kristoff, Empire of the Damned, p. 403.

I DID NOT NEED THIS TONIGHT

anyways.....i had to suffer now so do you! credits to @16mitys on tiktok!

I finished Empire of the Damned yesterday (holy shit) (pun intended I guess). Some thoughts and considerations

SPOILER AHEAD!!

I love Gabriel so much, he was almost killed many times and still came back bitchier than ever. He lives out of everyone else spite. At this point he has like three friends and everyone else is his enemy

Anyway Gabriel should be fucked. He deserves to be the bottom and have his problems get fucked out of him.

(He should be the Straight White Dude TM but between Lachlan and Jean-François... The man is hungry for men, trust me)

I am not sure if I hate Celene or not. I know that the parts where she narrated were good as plot but not my cup of tea (sorry but Gabriel is way funnier than her and Jean will agree with me) (the only moment I liked from her chapters was that bit of Nikita and Aaron)

Talking about Aaron (and Baptise)... Everyone is devastated but I am not. Baptise is alive. Aaron is a vampire, dead but not enough, AND he's not under Nikita's influence anymore. Love wins, they can go back living together as a (almost) happy family

(The bit of Baptise seeing Gabriel and hugging him after being freed from Lilidh blood magic made me cry)

Dior deserves better and I am curious to know if she came back alright or wrong (broken)

Gabriel going from almost dying by Nikita's hand to kill one of the Terrors with bare hands was badass as fuck

Every interaction between Gabriel and Fabien Voss is exilarating to me. Gabriel loathes him from the bottom of his heart and Fabien just "old friend"s him WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN he is terrifying but also fucking funny

(If he wasn't so terrified of dying I am sure than Fabien would actually save Gabriel from death just to be able to fight him in person later. Would be a weird twist but idc)

Anyway Gabriel goes on his knees in front of women in 0 seconds, it is a shame that I didn't see him kneeling in front of a vampire as an act of submission. It would be delicious

Beside fantasies, I am curious about the third one. My theory at this point is that the only way to end the Sine Die is to kill the five anciens. The ancient Dyvok is already dead. Fabien gets killed by Gabriel at some point. Margot (that's her name I hope) will be killed soon, I am sure of it: I don't know if Celene and Gabriel got captured accidentally or not, but if Joaquin is there, there is a plan and it's probably to kill her. There are two missing ancients: the one freed by Celene and another I don't remember. They all must die I guess

I have zero capacities with prophecies but I also thought of Celene with all of their souls that gets killed in the end by Dior or someone else. If it wasn't for the fact that out of three dead anciens, two are killed by Gabriel and one by Lachlan and Baptise

I just know that Nikita is fuming in hell btw. Being immortal and getting killed not by immortals like him but your half bother and a complete human fueled by love and rage must be embarassing

Is Dior actually alive during the narration? Probably. Maybe broken, as they said. But Jean doesn't know yet that Dior opened her eyes in her coffin so who knows. If Gabriel is not aware of it, Celene will die very soon

Dior calling Gabriel "Dad" was unnecessary imo, Kristoff did that just to show Gabriel losing two daughters. Dior never called him like that, why would she after almost dying? And like, he already considered her a daughter and he didn't react to "dad" so what was the point 😭

(I loved the way Gabriel promised her to reach her anywhere and did exactly that tho)

I add that the fact that the Dyvoks thought Gabriel dead and then he came back with TWO armies is so funny 😭 he doesn't die, he is more immortal than them

Kiara deserved better. Nikita, you are a bitch. Lilidh deserved worse instead. DIE BITCH.

Phoebe also deserved better. She almost died. Her broom disappeared and died when she found out he was still alive. I like her a lot and I am happy she managed to survive that hell

A moment of appreciations for the first two chapters. Jean really liked to be choked by Gabriel :') and in the meanwhile Gabriel got tortured. Beautiful.

So yeah, I am very curious about the third book. I hope to see Gabriel and Jean kissing (Jean will probably die in the third book, I have this feeling) but it's not really what I want to see.

I also add that Gabriel should receive a pass to say blasphemous things about his god the Italian way. He deserves to say his god is a pig or a dog or shit or what he wants. After all of that he can starts using blasphemous idioms. His god deserves it.

To end this post: Shadow Moses by Bring Me The Horizon is THE song for this series, but I found out that Dig Down by Muse is THE song for Gabriel De Leon. And The Death Of Peace Of Mind by Bad Omens is Gabriel and Astrid's song.

and a bonus sketch from Jay himself 😆

pretty sure top right is Lachlan, bottom left is Baptiste. it probably means top left is Gabe and bottom right is Aaron? (assuming this since Aaron and Baptiste would obviously be paired up together, and it looks like he's wearing something fancy too)

[sweetestmercutio]

i remember reading eotv being like "ah gabriel isn't queer but that's fine all the other vampires are" and now i'm starting eotd and he and jean are in the midst of the most toxic yaoi i've seen since they interviewed that vampire. no the other one

Empire of the Damned pg. 235-237, now I get it

Any thoughts on Mathilda's possible reaction to finding out about Stacy's life with the wolves? What would her dynamic with the wolves be? I imagine that she'd need to reassess a lot of things. Also, Wink would definitely try to scare her as a prank because how dare you bully my big sister. Never mind that he's huge with red eyes and would probably give her a heart attack...maybe Everest should stop him.

Sorry it took me like a month to answer this!!! It's fun. I'm cooking ✨

I'm actually sooo curious what Miriam's first impression was. I imagine once she figured out superpowered wolves are real, she had lots of different theories. Stacy explained what she'd found after eotd, but Miriam's main theory first was that they were humans trapped in wolves' bodies or something.

When Miriam found the cave, she was originally planning on taking Stacy away. Everest was very hostile, but luckily Tucker convinced him to calm down. Then Tucker showed her a stash he kept of Stacy's old toys, baby teeth, outgrown clothes, etc. and that gave Miriam a pause. After looking around a bit more she realized how civilized this cave was, how scared the wolves looked under their hostility, and decides, ok. I can't split up a family. It's wrong. She gets along with Tucker best; after seeing Stacy's grades she has a lot of respect for Addison. If/when she gets over first impressions, she will love Wink's antics. She and Everest still have a rough relationship but they realize they're aiming for the same thing, Stacy's health and happiness, and manage to get along on that common ground.

Jack is kept in the dark regarding the truth about Stacy's life and situation. He's...he's aware there's something happening here. Something weird. But no one will tell him. It makes him anxious. But Stacy just isn't ready and Miriam won't break her trust.

Oh man...if Mathilda ever became acquainted with the pack some time all hell would break loose. Tucker would just give the disappointed look like you said, and it somehow manages to break her heart. Everest looks at her with disdain. The rest would gang up for prank revenge despite Stacy's protests. Addison is not above punching a child /silly.

It would definitely be a wake up call. But I really do think Mathilda's bullying stems from fear so she might just double down and get worse. Eventually I hope she chills

Bonus: I headcanon Stacy's school friends are other mcytubers, like Joey and Lizzie and Graser. I've always imagined a scene where one of them are worried about Stacy and follow her into the woods and immediately FREAK OUT when they see her surrounded by wolves. That took some explaining and a lot of anxiety that ultimately came from a good place. Once the friends are. Used to it. The wolves are pretty chill. Stacy can have friends over for dinner, sure!

Everest is always going to be the most upright about Stacy's social life and guarded about their secrets. It's necessary; even very good people might do something that lands the pack in an awkward position.

even after all the power these 2 had......what they really wanted was just love and a family and it breaks me to see how people tend to pit them against each other when theyre actually so similar creds to @natsonlygf on tiktok!!!
