#also. my fav moments also are when the trickster mask falls off

[archangelraphael]

Ugh literally the tricks were just that. A trick! It's all a façade! He needed a new existence and he took the opportunity via Loki. My favourite moments of his are when some cracks show and you can see how both TERRIFIED and FURIOUS he is!! He's so afraid of having to watch his brother's kill each other, of having to figure out what to do with his existence after they don't exist anymore. He's full of anger towards them too bc THEY DID THIS! They were HAPPY! And now he's stuck as someone he's not bc he's a coward and can't face it, can't face THEM, can't face HIMSELF. He's so many different things at once and I LOVE him

You said it all anon, i have nothing to add except that the relationship Gabriel has with running away is so interesting. He is right for getting out of a unhealthy place but so wrong in the way he approaches the subject, which is, avoiding it at all costs. No wonder why he has such difficulty with facing problems, the very thing that made you grow and be free in the past is now what keeps you from doing it again in the present, how confusing must that be for someone who is trying to heal from a unhealthy family all by himself?
