#two other characters with no potential are squeaky and squirmy but since their like 12 I don’t relate to them as much

Descendants ramble!!!!

I think the reason I feel so bad for Gil legume isn’t just because he’s wasted potential. It’s because he low key has no potential!!! At least with Jay and Carlos even though they have wasted potential too, they have personality. They have interests, goals, dreams, Gil rarely has none of that. Honestly if they didn’t put Gil in the third movie I highly doubt anyone would care. That’s how much potential he has. I literally don’t know anyone that cosplays him besides maybe one other person and me ofc lol. He doesn’t get cosplayed, he’s never the main character in fanfiction. If he is in the fanfiction he’s either the ditzy blonde character that he is or he’s babied by uma and harry. Which is fine but come on all the time. He has no personality other than the same three traits, ditzy, brawny, and sweet. He’s the golden retriever stereotype but that’s all he is!!! We rarely see when he’s hurt, how he acts when he’s upset, etc. Then in a lot of fanfiction he’s always the victim of some type of bullying, or he’s always a damsel in distress. I said this before but we rarely if ever see him stick up for himself, use his strength to his ability, and I feel for him because a lot of people think being sweet means being soft and that’s not ok.
