No you’re not hearing me. It’s the way that entire gala is referencing this panel. He’s canonically cosplaying Viktor Nikiforov. It’s all from the halloween party comic. Are you listening. Do you hear me. They healed them. This panel was the only gumlee moment for like 7 years. Do you understand.
Gary and Bonnie lead Marshall and Marcy away from their toxic parental figures. Both choosing the other over their responsibilities. One escaping said responsibilities by falling down, the other going up. Bubbline’s mutually-assured destruction, implied by Gumlee’s kiss. Queer obsession ending in death, and queer love, fulfilled, shown as two sides of the same coin. The implication that these two will be together, forever, no matter the universe.
Bubbline/Gumlee is, unironically the ultimate ship... No, seriously, what does this dynamic NOT have?!
opposites attract, enemies to lovers, color-coding, exes getting back together, friends to lovers, gay angst, goth and prep, jock and nerd, daddy/mommy isues, vampires, immortality, coffe shop AU, SOULMATES WHO WILL ALWAYS FIND EACH OTHER IN EVERY UNIVERSE, NO MATTER WHAT...
Something something PB/Gary sacrificing the thing that caused them to meet (Marcy's concert t-shirt/the the pastry boy dream) to help Marcy/Marshal get back something important to them (Hambo/his freedom).
