I don't hate OG Gobo Fraggle because he's a jerk, per se, I hate that 90% of the time it slips by without notice and the person who he's being a jerk to and painted as being in the wrong. He's not a jerk for laughing at Red's umbrella idea to bring back the water; Red's a jerk for being a woman speaking out of turn. He's not a jerk for kicking Wembley out of his home for not being able to find a job; Wembley's a jerk for not having a job in the first place. That icks me so much. If his toxic traits are interrogated and explored as wrong, I would be so much more invested in this character. Season 1 bttr Gobo was a little too squeaky clean, and I'm really into seeing Gobo with some grime on him (and treated as such)

#fraggle rock #gobo fraggle #bridging the two series i have a headcanon that og Gobo gets a lot of his toxic traits from Uncle Matt #who in turn is a Less Bad version of Uncle Traveling Gobo #So these niblings are a series of men having slightly less toxic masculinity in each generation #og Gobo is a saint compared to Uncle Traveling Gobo lol #Gobo clearly idolized Uncle Matt but Matt is very much in the Wrong about many things #and when Gobo acknowledges that he gets closer to being his own man
