thinking very normally about the fucking Pronoun Hierarchy lore drop from the dev stream. about how the councillors actively stop referring to gabriel with he/him during the act I intermission, degrading him, seeing him as lesser and not deserving of something of such closeness to god – and yet the narrative as a whole still continues to use he/him for gabe regardless, even though from a story perspective, that has been taken away from him by the beginning of act II. even after he loses his light and *should* lose that identity alongside it, he doesn’t. regardless of what the world thinks of him, he’s still him. man. you could bury a sliver of a transgender allegory 10 feet in the ground and brother i’d claw for it through the dirt like a truffle hog
