not me thinking about mercury asking "is it love" and then wiping gabriels memories. not me thinking about how later, when they're confessing their love, gabriel doesn't say it even though he wants to. not me thinking about mercury finding out gabriel was in love in the past and how many times she's wiped his mind because of it. not me thinking about gabriel realising as he stares at his two new beloveds: "i can't tell you i love you, but i do. i love you" because of the traumatic hold mercury has over him

Overlooked Gabriel & Annalise Moment - TBSATDH Spoilers
A scene I don't really see people talk about in regards to Annalise and Gabriel's relationship in The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself is the one in Ep. 8 when the boys reunite with her. Gabriel gets to her first, she looks to him first, and she seeks comfort from him first.
Gabriel and Annalise's bond tends to be overlooked and downplayed a bit within the fandom space, and I can understand why. Their bond is probably the most subtle of the three and also the only one that hasn't included any kissing. It’s also the least developed and it's closer to a deep platonic or queerplatonic dynamic.
But in this moment they both look at each other so intensely. The screenshots I took can't really capture it, but Annalise was practically clawing at Gabriel for physical comfort in that scene. And that makes sense to me, given the dynamic we've seen between the three before.
Annalise comforts Nathan:
Nathan comforts Gabriel:
Gabriel comforts Annalise:
Of course, there has also been times when all three of them drew comfort from each other:
And Gabriel did comfort Nathan in this scene, though it was more akin to “snapping Nathan out of his guilt and trauma response to the situation,” since there wasn’t really time for comfort.
But the most common dynamic we’ve seen, and when looking at their one-on-one interactions, Annalise comforts Nathan, but rarely vice versa. So it makes sense that she looked to Gabriel for comfort first, then turned to Nathan.
I really feel like that Episode 5 scene, when Gabriel and Annalise held hands and gave each other comfort during the Ceremony, is when their dynamic started to shift and change a bit. In the sense of getting more intimate and intense, though not necessarily romantic or sexual.
If the series wanted to pursue that route in a (hopeful) second season, I wouldn’t necessarily object to it. Granted it is handled well, especially because I can see how it could potentially tie into the implied trauma Gabriel experienced from Mercury (she had no qualms with kissing Nathan when she was possessing his gran’s body, and her words and actions to and with Gabriel imply possible sexual trauma and abuse, in the below image she says, “So hard to say no to such perfection” while looking at him and touching him in a very sexualized way).
The set up that Season 1 left off with seems to heavily imply that Jessica and Mercury will be the big bad duo of a potential Season 2, which would work perfectly with the hanging plotline of the boy Gabriel promised he would come back for at Mercury’s. And all of that would tie in nicely with a deeper exploration of Gabriel, his sexuality, his past and traumas, and his bonds with both Nathan and Annalise.
As someone who is aroace though, I would also be perfectly fine with Gabriel and Annalise’s relationship continuing to deepen but still staying in this space of deeply platonic and/or queerplatonic, since I feel we could always do with more representation like that, especially for poly ships.
Anyway, wrapping all of this up: That Ep. 8 scene speaks volumes about Annalise and Gabriel’s bond and I love it! It shows how they’ve grown a lot closer to each other than a lot of the fandom thinks they have, and possibly even more than either of them had fully realized in-series until that moment.

okay! it’s time! my older brothers season finale thoughts and reactions:
- when jessica walked into the cellar he whispered, very excitedly, “yesssss! blow that bitch up. tear her apart. cmon”
- he is terrified by jessica.
- after the reunion scene he goes “yknow… how progressive actually is this show… and how purely gay gabriel is… and how straight annalise is… cause it could be really really cool… if the three of them…” (i went “mhmhm shut up you’re missing things and tried not to scream”
- nathan: “it’d be a shit time to die” // my brother: “if he dies, she should get THAT stitched on the pillow”
- more about the polyamory: “it’s not like a SUPER super common thing but like it doesn’t exist at ALL in the media it would be so fucking sick if they did that, plus they’ve developed it in such an awesome and natural way… i’m excited”
- he wants to know why nathan didn’t just kick gabriel’s shirt.
- “maybe it has to be like… pure?”
- mercury is fucking evil and “jesus christ that’s rough”
- feels bad for the little kid
- loves loves loves gabriel
- wants to know how the memory powder works
- thinks it’s “so fucking cool and super bold” that they had annalise kill soul
- kept saying, “nah look ceelia’s fine… she’s breathing back there… it’s okay”
- “ah shit i knew it wasn’t gonna be okay”
- he loves that they subvert so many expectations and standards (having nathan not be the actual main main character, hinting at the throuple, having the goal of getting to mercury actually not be the goal, having marcus be such a tiny role when he was supposed to be the “big bad”)
- was terrified for gabriel
- was (pleasantly) surprised more people didn’t die
- thinks nathan is absolutely eating that heart
- pissed he doesn’t know nathans power
- sad the books aren’t good
- thinks there were “a couple cheesy moments, a few plot holes, and a couple things that were just a smidge too convenient” but that it’s one of the absolute best ya fantasy shows he’s seen
- absolutely LOVES that they’re all new faces and think they all did a fantastic job
- is somewhat in shock
- cannot fucking wait for season 2
in summary: he is one of us.

How many people get to know when they’re gonna die? Most people probably go without saying any of the things they wanna say. So we should. We all say the things we wanna say to each other.

when mercury takes gabriel's memories. he doesn't get mad. he obviously knows what's happened (maybe not at first, but he realises later. he knows that memory powder exists and has used it himself.) instead he gets quiet. he listens to mercury when she tells him to stay. he stays. he goes to his room. how many times has she done this to him that now he just accepts this reality? how often would she just take his memories to stop him doing anything against her own agenda? so much so that he doesn't even get angry about it anymore? gabriel boutin deserves all the love in the world and i hope he gets it in season 2

"Thinking about the people that you love isn't stupid. It isn't trivial. It isn't a distraction. It's the whole thing. It's the whole fucking point of everything." - Ceelia to Annalise
"I love you. Both." - Annalise to Nathan & Gabriel
Then she uses her powers to protect both of them.
They specifically make her attack her father after he goes after both Nathan and Gabriel (I actually love how she stops her dad specifically after he starts to get ready to attack Gabriel, since it allows Gabriel to protect Nathan and her to protect him and Nathan).
All three of these characters had “family” that chose power over love (or had power win out over love). They lost, forgot, or even allowed themselves to understand the whole fucking point of everything.
But, Nathan, Gabriel, and Annalise get it, and make their own little found family, and I love it to bits! 🥺
