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.

AWW SO KYUTE

OH MY GOSH SO HANDSOMEEEEE SO CUTE ok serge is rlly cute i think he is my fav. To me hes like the lead of the series even if gilbert gets more of the art and attention from the fans i mean i think he actually is bc most MOST of the manga is like in his pov. But im not here to argue abt that. i think for what he went through he is so strong and i dont like bringing fandoms into discussions because What random people think does not matter. but unfortunately there are like 3 active tumblr blogs max that still post abt this so they are relevant. I think too many ppl forget (the paris arc kinda contributes to this too) that serge was Also just a kid. like by the time he was 4 or 6 right? he was already taken away from his mom, his dad died, his aunt was terrible... Like i think ppl focus too much on gilberts abuse because its so prevelant to who he is throughout the manga, but serge was also affected a lot. Like his aunt physically and verbally abused him just bc he was romani and who his mom was.. and then she learns he plays piano and takes advantage of him for that and acts like its HIS fault when other ppl are racist to him. Like this was all by the time he was like 8 bruh... 

aww hes so sweet

a lot of this i think made serge grow up faster than he should have, which is why he kinda sees lacombrode as a good place not just bc of meeting gilbert there but also bc he was actually allowed to be a kid. Like everyone else there for the most part that he met when he started they were also just boys ykyk. And also why he kinda feels the need to help gilbert bc unlike for serge lacombrode was just as cruel to gilbert as home was
