Gabriel does not value life - aka humans and other supernaturals alike - period. You can say he's something of a misanthropist, and it's actually quite difficult to get him to view you as an individual despite how sociable he presents himself as. You'd be lucky if you can even catch his interest long enough to even allow the opinion shift in the first place.

Gabriel is incredibly manipulative. There's no bottom-line he wouldn't cross if it works out in his favor, and this trait isn't exclusive to people he isn't close to or dislikes. If it's necessary, he can even manipulate his twin and won't even feel a hint of guilt about it.

💚

Gabriel is incredibly affectionate to the small few that can nestle themselves within the crevice where his heart should be. He's also protective of them too, and will not hesitate to spoil and dote on them within reasonable (to him) means.

He's very good with children/anything small & delicate. This might be a trait that came from taking on the role of a nurturer after the rest of his younger siblings were created, but it's one of the few occasions his gentle side can be seen.

Sad Headcanon Questions

tws for suicide & child death mentions

Who does your muse hate?

For the primary verses, it’s Lilith. She’s the reason why everything went to shit and Gabriel will not hesitate to admit that.

For the (sole) secondary verse, it’s God and Eden. God for killing his loved ones and almost killing him, Eden for being the trigger of this in the first place. Almost all the pieces are in place for him to take his revenge, he’s just waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

How does your muse handle grief?

Initially? Not Well™. The first time Gabriel experienced proper grief, it nearly killed him - literally. The pain of loss consumed him so strongly that he attempted to kill himself. It didn’t succeed, of course, but he later opted to have his memory erased just to make the suffering more bearable. He hasn’t truly forgotten anything, but the feeling’s more hollow now.

What is your muse’s biggest regret?

Five times he had the opportunity to get rid of the wretched blight he tends to refer to Lilith as and each time he failed to do so. It wasn’t because he changed his mind or because she suddenly cleaned up her act - there was a genuine force of interference that kept him from putting any of his plans in motion and it makes him seethe on the inside whenever he thinks back on it. If he ever figures out what was directly responsible for that, he’ll eat their fucking hearts.

How many scars does your muse have?

His body’s covered in them. He has three major ones, but those are covered for the most part. All the other scars that cover his body are more on the smaller side and he’s made it more of a point nowadays to make sure he doesn’t add onto the collection he already has.

How long can your muse hold a grudge?

Long. Gabriel is vindictive to a fault, almost. While depending on the circumstances he can be rather quick to get payback on the spot, he does follow the principle of revenge is a dish best served cold. If you find yourself of his shit list, you’re pretty much fucked.

How does your muse handle loneliness? 

He doesn’t have time for that. Those never-ending piles of paper barely even gave him time to mourn, why would he have time to feel lonely? Not to mention the fact that the second his children or his siblings sense a disturbance in the force, they’re immediately latching onto him like cats to catnip.

What is one of your muse’s greatest fears?

Losing everything - He's worked so, so hard to keep things together at the cost of himself. Gabriel’s hands are so thickly stained with blood it could replace the very oceans themselves - he’d rather destroy the universe first before letting all his hard work come undone. Again.

What does your muse fear losing the most?

Losing his twin. Raphael is quite literally his other half. If anything happens to him, not a single soul would be spared.

Does your muse think violence is ever warranted?

Gabriel’s default solution to anything is tearing it from the roots so yes, more often than not he thinks violence is always warranted. He has to actively fight against that instinct because while he may feel that violence is warranted, it does not mean it’s always the appropriate solution to a problem. He has to keep the circumstances in mind too.

What is the worst illness your muse has ever had?

The resulting seizures he gets whenever Aris is having one of his temper tantrums. Because Gabriel is sturdier than most, if not all of the, celestians in Heaven - he can handle a blow from Aris irregardless of the severity. The problem with this, however, means that the wounds he gets are essentially infected with foreign divinity that goes on a rampage whenever the origin source does. Not to mention the wounds also re-opening afterwards too. It drives him nuts.

What would your muse consider their worst failing?

Not being able to kill Lilith. That’ll always be a top one.

Does your muse tend to push themselves too hard?

Always. What is rest when the second he stops just to close his eyes for a minute, something goes to shit? He’s literally the sole pillar keeping everything together.

How does your muse outwardly express their anger? 

For the most part? He doesn’t. There is almost always a smile fixed on Gabriel’s face no matter his mood - you’re more likely to feel his anger than you ever are to see it. If he does express his anger, there’s usually a lot of destruction involved before seconds later things are so pristine it’s like nothing ever happened.

What is the worst injury your muse has ever received?

 The injury he received from Aris. It reminds him repeatedly of what he lost.

What might others consider your muse’s worst failing to be?

Uriel thinks him to be too free-spirited and rebellious. Gabriel thinks the dog should just shut up and go fetch like a good boy.

Does your muse have a short fuse when it comes to temper?

Nope. Gabriel can be considered to be somewhat mild-mannered, it’s harder to piss him off than it is to get him to snap a neck.

Who does your muse wish they had said goodbye to, but didn’t?

Eve & Xavier. He knows spiritually they’re much better off, technically. But he misses them terribly.

Does your muse suffer from nightmares? How often? What about?

If he isn’t taking a nap with any of the siblings/people he authentically cares about, then Gabriel is prone to suffering from nightmares every time he falls into Sandman’s embrace. It’s always the same thing - his beloved’s corpse lying in a pool of blood and the loss of his unborn child.

In his secondary verse, it’s watching his beloved & first born be burned alive and reliving the sensation of having his second born ripped from inside him.

Out of everything your muse has lost/given up, which hurt the most?

Primary verse, it’s losing his unborn child.

Secondary verse, it’s losing his first born and barely managed to save just a fragment of the unborn second’s soul.

What is something your muse wants to tell others, but is too afraid to?

 The amount of times Gabriel has held his tongue because he knows the reactions he’d receive are negative can resurrect the library of Alexandria and then some.

How hard is it for your muse to open up to others? What holds them back?

Very. He’d rather bear the burden than push it onto others. Especially with the mental state of his twin.

Looking back, what is one thing your muse wishes they had done differently?

 He sometimes wishes he never experienced what it was like to feel love different from what he felt for his siblings and the children he calls his own. He’s seen what it did to Aris and Eris, seen how it ruined Eve to an extent. He wishes he never experienced it for himself because that’s a hollowness that’ll never be filled no matter what he does.

Does your muse tend to be hard on themselves when they do something wrong?

Not particularly - Gabriel never regrets his actions, the only thing he does regret is his inaction. The war in Heaven is a good example - he doesn’t regret forcing Raphael to be on the sidelines despite that going against Raphael’s very purpose because he knew well that seeing all of their brothers and sisters dying up close would be more damaging to the Healer’s psyche than seeing it all happen from a distance. On the flipside, he regrets not being able to remove the roots of the war in the first place - because if he had just taken things into his own hands instead of foolishly relying on the dog and his Master; there’s a chance the war wouldn’t have happened in the end.

Does your muse lean more toward “forgive and forget” or “resent and remember?”

Remember and resent. Gabriel doesn’t forgive easily, and it takes an extraordinary amount of time to get him to do so depending on the circumstances. But, it doesn’t matter how small or large the grudge he held was - Gabriel never forgets.

Does your muse recognize their faults, or do they have trouble with self-reflection?

He recognized them, but can also acknowledge that a lot of issues that occur were also the fault of others. Majority of it stemming from Aris, Eris and Eden.

I kind of don't like how a lot of people forget that despite all the angst and the drama around Dean and Cas they are fundamentaly best friends.

How many times did Dean say it throught the entire show? Bobby in season 6 saying "Well, you just lost the best friend you ever had."

For Bobby to say that, knowing Dean better than even Sam in some regards, how many times had Dean been sitting with Castiel on the couch in his living room?

Cas doesn't sleep, and rarely does Dean, with the Apocalypse looming right behind him.

So all they had left, in those quiet nights were each other. And they were okay with it, because they liked each other's company.
