I’ve been saying this for years but Gabriel Agreste is a cheap knock-off of Mr. Freeze from Batman. This trope has been done before and it doesn’t fail as hard as Gabriel.
Mr. Freeze is the perfect example of sympathetic villain trying to save/cure his coma/dead wife. What he does is bad but he has sympathetic (and perhaps redeeming) qualities. I have a very limited knowledge about the batverse or dc but the fact that such little exposure i had to this villain and he still gave such a lasting impressions says a lot about the character writing and execution.
On the other hand, there is no excuse other than poor writing and what not, which Astruc is not ready to admit by hiding behind excuses that helps him sleep at night and blaming the audience and fans alike for not understanding that.

what is your opinion on alastair getting back with Charles?? there's been clips like the one where it's snowing and it's from Thomas and I think he sees Charles and Alastair??? What are your ideas/opinions?? (ps I absolutely love you blog I'm too scared to spam you tho because of all the good ideas you have!!!!)
omg hi!!!
first thank you so much, that's so sweet 🥺💕 and oh please, feel free to spam how much you want, it makes me more than happy jsksjjs <3333
so about charles and alastair's relationship...
let's say that i am 99% sure alastair won't be back with charles at the beginning of chot, despite the feeling we might get from those few snippets.
like. did charles have some sort of realization after his near-death experience and tried to get alastair back when he required his presence at the end of choi? probably.
if that's the case, did alastair actually agree on that? hardly.
i am pretty sure that after all he went through, and how much he suffered from charles's behaviour and manipulation, he won't retrace his steps that easily.
and even if charles had some woke moment and decided to put an end to the hiding and be more open about his future relationships with men, i can't really see alastair accepting either. maybe he would be surprised, sure, and a bit of skeptical too but
1) he wouldn't easily believe every word that escapes from his ex's mouth after all the pain he put him through and most importantly, charles hurt him, really hurt him; and that cannot be ignored. even if charles really changed and alastair still loved him (which he obviously doesn't) he still would need time to simply consider the idea of coming back with him.
2) he has just spent hours kissing thomas f*cking lightwood in the sanctuary. and, yes, he could have told thomas minutes earlier that 'it isn't possible, it won't ever be' but this doesn't mean their connection didn't mean something everything to him. like he could deny it how much he wants but deep down alastair knows that thomas is the one he wants, the one for him.
so alastair and charles getting back together is something i can hardly see happening.
charles trying to get him back instead? that's definitely a higher and kinda predictable possibility.
i also believe this would be his main role in chot akjsjs (even tho i hope we can see some kind of development here, especially in his relationship with matthew/his family).
i mean...he was trying to do it in choi all the time, so who's preventing him from trying even harder in chot? especially after that near-death experience in which he supposedly realized ✨something✨? probably cordelia lol
uh, and about that scene you mentioned (i think you mean the snippet of the two of them outside in the snow where thomas says that alastair visited charles that day?) yes!!! it could be definitely linked to what i was talking about (like charles requiring alastair's presence for whatever excuse he invented to talk to him??) but idk honestly, he could have visited charles for any other reason for all we know 🤷🏻♀️ however im quite sure they're not seeing each other (also because wouldn't it be weird that shortly after visiting charles alastair is smiling at tom and caressing his cheek like the pathetic lovesick loser he is? nah, he's not with charles kjkw)
anyway, to make it brief, says the woman who wrote multiple paragraphs to answer this overall i don't really think they will get back together, even though charles will definitely try to get him back at some point (and that will turn into thomas's main problem in chot, making all his insecurities come back to surface all at once <3)
p.s. i hope you meant my opinion on the possibility of charles and alastair getting back together in chot and not about charles and alastair's relationship itself, bc in that case...my answer is just no. jslxkjsskl
and not just bc thomastair is my entire personality lol, but i honestly think that despite charles's manipulation and egocentrism, the way he hurt alastair, their different wants/desires, etcc.... they're just not meant to be?? charles probably just believes he wants alastair when he actually doesn't (i don't even think he knows the real alastair and he probably never tried to, all caught up in his career and politics) and for alastair, well....the fact that after breaking up with charles, the man he's supposed to love and with which he had a long and intense romantic relationship, he seems more relieved than anything else says a lot....and it says even more if you compare it to alastair's reaction after thomas, a friend, got angry and disappointed at him on the same day.

hey how come i havent seen any fics exploring how the sides' rooms would look when thomas is in different places?
like, imagine romans room when thomas is in disneyland. it would become a literal fantasy land, full of sparkles and fairies and all of his favourite fairytales.
or virgil's room when thomas is alone outside or in a store. quiet and empty, with an abandoned look that would make you feel unsettled no matter how many times you tell yourself it's not real.
can you??? imagine??? like even just mentioning it casually. a prinxiety fic where thomas is outside so roman takes virgil to his room and they have a picnic, instead of just doing it in the imagination. or like, going to patton's room when thomas is visiting his parents, seeing all the childhood memories being amplified to a million. there are so many possibilities but it always just turns into "the imagination" or "the subconscious" or some other newly created part of the mindscape. use the rooms!!!
