Hey I bring a Zoebaby concept for ya!
OK so basically, within Gambit, im keeping as much of Babyβs backstory as vague as humanly which is a lot easier said then done when you come up with ideas and each one doesnβt typically flow together, but they also make for an interesting concept.
One such concept in this instance being,
The idea Baby's not ACTUALLY suppose to be bound to Gwi-maβ¦While I wont go intoΒ tooΒ much detail, all I will say is that Gwi-ma was not truthful about the βdealβ he made with him and much like with Jinu, there is a very high chance Baby was tricked.
To be frank, he most likelyΒ was.
Especially if given to the idea/fact that much of Babyβs prior history was spent in times of less then stellar mental stability.
After all, its proven that itβs not all that hard to convince someone suffering from a manic state, of new ideas/influences, solely because mania fundamentally alters a brainβs chemistry, reducing cognitive function, impairing judgment, and suspending the brainβs ability to process negative consequences. As a result, some people can be easilyΒ influenced duringΒ a time of mania/hypomania.
The question is thoughβ¦
WhatΒ DIDΒ Gwi-maΒ promise himβ¦
Fortune?
Maybe
But for who
After all, Zoey and Baby were both childhood friends with dreams of success. Part of it because of their talents. Another part was to prove to their parents that they COULD make it despite their high expectations/low support.
They both dreamed big, they bothΒ wantedΒ to get big together. Itβs a dream they both had strived for. A dream they wanted to accomplishΒ together. Even now at that time, so far away from her, he still thought of herβ¦so is it so simple or easy to think that that is what Baby had wished for, wantedΒ mostβ¦
Even though, at the time, he had no idea what he was giving up for it.
But also, the possible idea of him not caring what ever happened to HIM.
Him all but giving up, nothing works out right for him, nothing ever has, his bones hurt, his heads a mess, it would be worthless to waste a dream, especially one so glamorous, on someone like him, so at least give the one sense of serenity in his life a chance, that's all he wants. . .
give it to her
Baby giving up his soul to make her dream come true actually guts something in me
Like he has the ability to make a deal with someone who promises to give him anything he wants but what he wants isnβt even for himself
Because what he wants is whatever she wants
