ik how you feel about huntlow, but how about gus and matholomule for the ship asks?

[ID: an ask from @treehouseandmushrooms that reads "gustholomule :-)". End ID]

The people want to hear my thoughts on gustholomule apparently!! My rating is A!

Because, like. Gustholomule is objectively the funniest ship in the show. Objectively. This is mostly because Matt is the funniest character on the show, but together with Gus he's. So funny. It should be a crackship. It should have no basis together and it should not have the amount of untapped potential and meaning it does. BUT IT DOES!! I am not apart of the subset of fans dedicated to analysing them as characters and their relationships but I do often watch from afar and I will say that thematically, aesthetically, mechanically, these two are like. Made for each other in such a way that I'm baffled it probably isn't intentional.

Construction and illusions, pragmatism and artistry, "stooge" and "clown", rogue and bard, the scrappy little opportunistic chihuahua of a boy that is mattholomule becoming a better person thanks to the sincere and silly, anxious and kind kid that is Gus. Also I can't get over my personal HC of Matt getting involved in the future democratic politics of the boiling isles (HE WAS A GOOD LEADER IN FTF! LET HIM BE PRESIDENT OF MORE THAN A SCHOOL CLUB WHEN HE'S OLDER) and the shows foreshadowing of Gus maybe being an ambassador to the human realm as an adult. Imagine two of the most powerful political leaders in your island nation used to be the most cringe insane preteen boys on the boiling isles. What do you even do with that information

Anyway, if any couple gets a last minute bone tossed to them in the finale, whether it be a split second reunion, a small feature in a montage, or a throw-away line during a timeskip scene, I fully believe it should be gustholomule. They deserve it
