Gustholomule is canon (<—-delusional) and here’s why ‼️‼️‼️
the looking glass graveyard makes a cameo and that’s where they first become friends.BUT if you look closely there’s a little fly trap is in a little case and you know what Venus fly traps stand for in Greek mythology?
THATS RIGHT‼️‼️‼️‼️
it refers to the Roman goddes of love and the scientific name for Venus fly traps are “Dionaea somthing somthing” daughter of Dione) which refers to Aphrodite and she is also connected to love and beauty‼️
not only is this a compelling argument enough, the Venus fly Trap shown in the picture in held in a glass container. Similar to the one in “Beauty and the Beast”. This is important becuase in the story “Beauty and the Beast” the rose symbolizes love and romance (as all roses do)
But the most important part of this is that it stood for the Beasts dying hope of finding love. We, as the audience, can also note that before the Beast became a Beast he was a prince and was pampered in his life before the curse.
Why is this important⁉️
BECUASE. As a prince the Beast was selfish and unkind. The enchantress who cursed him stated the reasoning for the curse was becuase “there was no love left in his arrogant heart”. Who else is arrogant at first and selfish⁉️
MATTHOLOMULE. HE was selfish AND unkind. He wanted things for himself and used others. And just like the beast He goes through his own redemption and reform. Mattholomule becomes less selfish and HELPS Gus in the graveyard. As the audience we know that Mattholomule, just like the Beast, still has a long way to go in regards to his selfishness, but we still see the growth and similarities between the two.
Not only that but in this case Gus takes on the role of Beauty,(I forgot her name) Gus shows Mattholomule that we doesn’t have to be so selfish and life can be better if he let people help and acted more generous. In the end Beauty and the Beast get together becuase they help each other. We can see that in Gus and Mattholomules new formed friendship at the end of TTLGR.
Furthermore the fly trap IS BLUE, And BLUE STANDS FOR ILLUSIONS ‼️‼️ and guess who is master illusionist ⁉️ GUS PORTER. Therefore the fly trap represents Gus and his love for Matt(cringe fail)Tholomule.
However you may ask, WHY didnt they give us a gus and matt interaction⁉️⁉️ and to that I say…
the writers wanted to canonize gustholomule however there simply wasn’t enough time in the finale.
Additionally the reason we didn’t see them together is becuase they writers wanted to show both Mattholomule and Gus in their respective jobs when they are older - Mattholomule working in construction and Gus being a professor at the university.
