Unpopular (?) opinion: I don’t think Gabriel should be able to inevitably revive Emilie. The biggest character moment for him should be when he finally accepts the loss and lets go. That’s what will redeem. When he finally stops putting his own desires before the wellbeing of his son. When he learns he can’t have it all. When he learns to stop being selfish. When stops valuing his life over others. He can’t bring her back. He can’t exchange lives. He’s not entitled to forgiveness either. Adrien has the right to be mad at his father for all the neglect, emotional and psychological abuse he’s had to endure.
If his son can do move on, so can he. Adrien tries his best to be a better person in spite of all the pain. Gabriel can learn a thing or two.

the older i get the more i can understand why people back in the old fairytale days would just fuck off and be a hermit in the woods. just chilling out in the middle of nowhere and occasionally telling random heroes cryptic shit. living the fucking dream.
Being overly-familiar with a series is such a weird burden sometimes because like
you’ll see some theory being passed around that you instantly know is wrong. Like it’s surprising to see people supporting it because the flaws in its logic are so glaringly obvious. Until it hits you that, yeah it’s wrong, but only because you were able to immediately remember the 5 second conversation between two background characters 17 minutes through s2e13 that definitively disproves it. And no casual fan would have any reason to remember that off the top of their head and it’s you who’s the weird human encyclopedia with a shot-for-shot memory the entire damn series.
Like at that point you don’t even know anymore whether to argue your point or just…maybe go outside for a little bit.
