changes in this AU version: (some details r from memory and may be wrong + im still workshopping this!! open to questions n ideas <3 )

calliope asks john to bring back gamzee earlier on, before the timeline split. i have an idea for meat!gamzee that deviates wayyy more that im cooking... not exactly sure Where he would be pulled from, but it would be when he's around the same age as the rest of the cast. probably while he's floating in space in that fridge with his clown immortality and all.

during both timelines, he struggles getting used to life without the influence of lord english. in candy, he gets into kahoots with dirk, who he views as the closest connection to LE (because of lil hal being a part of LE + calliope isnt close enough in personality to feel Right to follow despite also being a cherub)

gamzee's original faith in his religion is reignited, realizing he is now on the paradise planet with his friends that he always dreamed of being on.

gamzee becomes a bit influential, especially with carapcians and some trolls. jane catches wind of this and starts to become close with him, believing he could be benefical for her political party.

she invests in a lot of resourses that allow gamzee's religon to spread, including a new outfit. look at me dead in the eyes and try to convince me how a presidential candidate like jane would let her partner be in public wearing that cod tier outfit 😭 not happening

before dying, dirk gives a final message to gamzee and plans to carry out on his behalf, the end goals being gamzee's death used as an influence for a thingy (HAVENT READ FUNERAL PART YET) and also he dies to be used to prototype the sprites of the new game of sburb

when tavvy is born, the relationship between him and gamzee is a mix between what him and his lusus is + what bro was for dave (BECAUSE I LIKE THE PARALLEL between dirk and gamzee...). not a very present parent. when he is around, [insert explanation because i am super duper tired sorry 😭 idk how to explain]. mentorship figure but like really bad and shouldnt be a mentor bro-style

jane forbids gamzee from publically contradicting her views and for awhile he complies. eventually, the rebellion convinces him to take an open stance against her policies.

growing tired of him and very suspicious of what gamzee was getting up to, she hires someone to kill him. not sure who kills him or how yet, but it ends with (vriska) and the kids getting framed for his murder. he doesnt get a chance to express his views before then.

again, i have yet to read the gamzee funeral part so this lacks details!!!! my theory is that jane uses his death for her own benefit.

after being with jane, his typing quirk changes to all lowercase to be more "presentable" or somethinfg. when hes with the rebellion, he uses his oRiGiNaL TyPiNg qUiRk, nice and whimsical.

might as well draw this idea since no one nabbed it hahaha, thanks @geekgirles
