john and his niece going for a walk, arm-in-arm, so gemma can confide in him about her ghost problem without worrying her mum......i'm severely unwell about them.
#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#unfortunately mike carey kinda popped off about the two of them growing apart + gemma trying to follow his footsteps alone#gemma had so much to deal with at home and john provided a picture of stability and self-government that he simply does not really possess#and therefore by extension? so did the world of the occult#her descent into resentment + rebellion + risky behavior was fully in character for a troubled teen in an unhappy home#and it SUCKS bc the breakdown of their relationship was all due to john wanting SO BADLY to be a good influence on her + be there for her#and succeeding in the most monkey paw of ways#gemma never ONCE saw the cracks in the mask until she got close enough to his orbit to see him fail her in the WORST way#and that is a FUCKING tragedy#and we do NOT speak of the bullshit peter milligan pulled in his run because FUCK. THAT. NOISE.#in my canon they tentatively reconciled after the empathy virus. gemma's making her way through university#(see: studying part-time and still pursuing the occult on the side. but doing so Much more cautiously)#(no longer trying to be a Constantine TM but just trying to help out friends here and there)#and they meet once a year on december 2nd to honor cheryl's memory and catch up#( gemma masters. ) THAT'S MY NIECE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!#( visage. ) AND I'M A BASTARD.#sched.
