gilbert cocteau

Youre so freaking cute i think i could get used to you oo oo oo got me like aww aww aww

I rlly do adore gilbert BRO WHO NAMES THEIR KID GILBERT thats how u know his mom rlly regretted him she chose that name with pure hatred in her heart... Or actually did she even do that did they just name him at the marseilles house. idk... aww ok sorry i shouldnt joke i do rlly feel bad for gilbert hes like most doomed by the narrative guy ever. Bc even when hes having a good time smth goes on like he starts dating serge auguste wants to take him away he runs away from lacombrode and now hes being drugged and forced into sex work like Man he needs a break.

i self-project a little i wasnt sexually abused but i kinda see myself in gilbert a little bc im also a weird bpd princess who got bullied in middle school and my irl has the same haircut as serge and i also got deeply emotionally attached to and fell in love with him in 8th grade So basically he's like my brother from another mother. Like i think its pretty obvs that gilbert is mentally ill and idk if keiko wrote his character with that in mind but i think that makes how other characters connect him to demons and all thats bad and evil a lot more realistic due to past stigmas. Well ig they mainly see him that way bc hes gay too and on my first reread i noticed he was left-handed, i thought that was a nice detail but aww there was such a sad moment with him and serge after that..

a lot of moments with gilbert demonstrate abuse done by higher power especially on those who are more weak and vulnerable. This is with serge too kinda but serge knows to fight back and gilbert was never raised to really know how to interact with anyone. Most obvs with auguste durrr and the principal ACTUALLY i guess this can go to moral corruption to or how higher powers lie a lot too, bc the principal was like ohhh gilbert and serge's relationship violates christian beliefs Nah hes acting like chapter 1 didnt even happen. Even rosemarine whos supposed to be the guy who keeps the school in control contributes to gilberts bullying and abuse too in a way right? Bc i think hes the reason why the upperclassmen never rlly face consequences for how they treat him? or wtv.
