OMG this wing hugging post. I need to update my will because this cuteness is gonna kill me
Also, Michael and YA books will always be my favorite thing.
Gabby: Oh hey Michael, I didnāt know you had a library.
Michael: I donāt read these! Theyāre contraband, I just havenāt gotten around to destroying them yet. Busy with archangel stuff, you know.
Gabby: Iāll take these down to Earth for you then. Dannyās school library will really appreciate you donating these!
Michael:
@Dae-kalina, Thank you so much for taking what I said in the spirit I meant it! Looking at it, it does come off as accidentally a little insulting! It probably would have been better to just say that I am excited about this game and that excitement I doubt is ever going to fizzle out and that just in general I enjoy your writing and so excited to see where this story will go!
Though guys, I just had a thought while I was doing homework. How do you guys think that Gabrial is an angel going to be revealed to the other characters? I know one Gabby I want to play is one that is high emotion, kind, impulsive little thing. I just keep seeing how the werewolves/Tom/Charleston might find out that she is an Angel is that some sort of horrible shenanigans happen and something tries to hurt Danial and Josie and Gabrial just sort of doesnāt think this plan through and just pretty much scoop the kids close and just wrap them all in a wing cacoon sort of moment. Only realizing after the fact that they had an āoopseyā moment of revealing what they are. Cause now I just see this moment of.
Gabby: -makes a big enough gap to peak out at Tom and Charleston between their wings-
āSooo,ā¦No play date next week Iām guessing?
Josie: Oh my god, itās so shiny! -starts patting the wings inside that cacoon- Theyāre so fluffy!! I could die!!ā
Dannny: Ummmm Josie? I donāt think that should be the word choice nowā¦I promise itās tottaly safe and warm in here!
My Gabby has enough subtle/strategize/suave that I donāt think sheād lose control or blurt it out. But sheās way too candid to be 100% undercover.
It depends on whether they know enough about the supernatural to suspect anything and forward enough to ask her. I imagine her coming across as sheltered in a way that would seem really odd coming from a supposed former federal agent.
Like sheās never seen a cop movie. Iām sure itās going to drive the other cops crazy that she doesnāt get their references. So a donut joke - she would intellectually understand they are humorously referencing a stereotype associated with police, but not laugh because she hasnāt actually absorbed the cultural context for the joke to land correctly.
After a while I think Alice and Stephanie would pick up clues that sheās not from around here and perhaps start asking questions, and sheās too candid to just lie to their faces.
Iain will probably never guess in a million years unless she decides to tattoo āI am the archangel Gabrielā across her forehead. Heāll probably think itās criminal that she ājust didnāt have TV growing up.ā
Iām not sure what the weres/demons/Ryder will be able to pick up, assuming she can avoid using Grace.
If we mess up our masquerade then I believe Alice will quickly notice we are not human and wilk comfort us so we have to reveal out secret cause she can be scary ;-;
We either tell Iain because he is too good for this world or he finds out because we have to reveal ourselves if a serious fight breaks out (this how I imagine it in my head atleat) or something along the lines
The werebeats will be suspicious because they can smell it I quess? Also the same with Zaria and Stephanie? But again if we fail our cover they will find out
Iro Ryder and Aelius will know right away because
And probably during the romance there will be an opportunity to admit it?
Because heās cute as a button and I like ruffling his feathers and arguing and making him all huffy when he inevitably loses.
I donāt think heāll be my Gabbyās canon romance (right now Iām torn between the harried librarian and the useless ginger) but Iāll def check it out.
I think the only romances I wonāt do are Charleston and Stephanie because I donāt want to play a male Gabe. And probably Iro, because it just seems like a self destructive subplot and not what I play games for.
Because heās a disaster but heās my Gabbyās disaster and she wouldnāt have him any other way.
But seriously, I like the complicated ones. Especially if they have been mutually pining for each other for millennia but are too damn stubborn to admit it. My hopeless romantic ass is going to DIE when they finally admit their feelings for each other.
Micheal will most likely be my canon romance, even tho I really like Aelius too.
Iāll probably try them all once with the exception of Ryder. He seems like too much of an edgelord for me . And Iro because wellā¦ sheās Iro.
The fact that #Michaelās YA novel obsession is its own tag is also A++
With this one though:
I wonder what exactly did he come across lololol.
I think bobsmyuncle and Anathema summed it up pretty nicely.
Iām actually quite cut between Michael and Ramiel. But Iām leaning more towards Michael cause I can see my canon Gabriel being stubborn enough to stand up for herself if Michael steps over the line with his behaviour, but also wanting to fix the relationship between them. With that as an opening, I feel that a walkthrough with Michael as RO would be interesting and immersive. Weāll see how that goes though lol.
In that walkthrough, Ramiel be #brotherzoned. I love him, but It hink Mr.Obvious and my Gabriel will be too obvious to start anything.
#brotherzoned is equally hilarious and disturbing.
And as much as I love butting heads with Michael, my Gabby will certainly be setting some boundaries too. That boy is too much of a drama lord not to. They certainly have a lot to grow before I can see them in a healthy, stable relationshipā¦
Ryderās tryhard edginess is my favorite thing about him though
The chip on his shoulder about being short perfectly average height is also cute. Not sure if Iād rather romance him with a short or tall Gabby
Seriously, I would love to know! I want to read some in character book reviews.
Yeah, my main Gabby is rather assertive and sure of herself, which is why Iām okay with it. Michael really needs to be pushed back on when heās being overbearing. Dae-kalina says a healthy relationship is possible so
And Ramiel. My stupid, stupid, stupid baby boy. I love him too. I just want the nesties back together
Itās okay if you donāt want to romance Michael. For me heās too close to some experiences Iāve had. But he has a lot going for him (loyalty, strength, protective, secret caramel heart), once you get him out from under the influence of whoever is manipulating/abusing him. I feel like a lot of whatās āwrongā with him makes sense when you remember heās having his feelings for Gabriel twisted/used against him, and is being shaped by an incredibly abusive manipulator. People get really messed up when theyāve undergone abuse let alone for hundreds of yearsā¦
I have to agree with you there. To me, Michael exhibits some unhealthy behaviors that can be considered abusive. We start off with such a rocky relationship with Michael that putting in the effort to maintain a friendshipālet alone foster a romanceāis already a herculean task. Relationshipsābe it friendship or otherwiseāfeature a level of give-and-take, and a Michael romance looks to be one where Gabriel is doing majority of the giving. That kind of relationship just sounds emotionally exhausting.
My Gabriel is also severely turned off by the idea of a relationship with Michael. She doesnāt swing that way, and she is pretty squicked out by the idea of romancing any of her nestmates (she considers Izzy, Ramiel, and Michael to be her brothers.) She just wants the best for her stressed-out sibling.
