Yo Aria!! Since you posted the new chapter of SICSIG I thought of making a picrew of Gabe

Here it is

I hope you like it!!

HE'S PERFECT I WANNA PUT HIM IN MY POCKET 😭😭😭🥺

Stars!! You're the best, oh my gosh!!! Look at himmmm he's so sweet im gonna pop 🥰💖💖💖 you got all the lil details perfect!! Like his watch and his button down and gorgeous curls, its so him! And he has the birthday dahlia im gonna cry 💗

This totally made me think -- Gabe getting his first pride pins would be so special for him, right?!

Like, Cas and Luca embellish all of their clothes and accessories and stuff all the time, its second nature for them with their aesthetics, but Gabriel is always so put together, its a part of the whole "perfect President Adalhard" mask, right? This guy owns an iron, for Christ's sake.

But for Cas or Luca to just give him a little present one day, and its just a little rainbow pin (and maybe a polyam pin too!), for him to clip onto the strap of his satchel somewhere, just an understated little thing, i think it'd speak volumes to him. Gabriel's journey in SICSIG is really about finding his sense of self and learning to love himself for who he is; after that whole section where he's thinking about how he identifies, wondering for a time if he was demisexual, and admiring how confident ease with which Cas and Luca use their labels... god, i really think a pride pin would mean so much to him!

Yes he ultimately decided "he was fine just being Gabriel", but for him to have agency around that? To be able to show people that he's actively living as "just Gabriel?" To visibly be part of a community, and slowly unravel the "perfect" mask he puts up by accessorising how he wants, being vocally who he wants to be? That's growth and healing right there!!

HES SO CUTE I WANNA SQUISH HIS LITTLE FACE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!
