whenever i read a take on john gaius on here im just like. you don't understand him like i do
#myposts#tlt#everyone is always like 'i hated john before but moment xyz was when i realized just how awful he was'#but its like. NEVER the imperialism and always something like#'hes a shitty deadbeat dad' and youre like. you know. the fact that he didnt know that he had a kid is like. REEALLY important to the plot#or like. idk everyones soo convinced that he hates gideon and that she means nothing to him and is just like. doll no. 2#but this has no real textual evidence anywhere? like he doesnt re-name her because he doesn't care about her actual name#he renames her into kiriona (the maori word for gideon used in the bible) and gaia after the earth#with gaia being the female version of gaius. like. given that he is the last person in the universe who remembers earth#and the only person remembering the maori language and any cultural heritages in the world#i think thats a really affectionate name to give someone?#like i am not saying this man has some definite flaws and errors to him#and definitely lets on to having a crueler side that isnt really shown in full yet in the book#but like. some of the things he does just really arent that malicious as yall read them to be#also i seem to be the only bisexual person reading these books because when he said#'come on love. im a way too careful guy to allow for accidents' that was soooo hot of him
