man i need to reply to this now that we’re acquainted

this is possibly the best thing that can be said about my interpretation of gilbert, as i put all of my effort into his development. if i could make at least one person interested in him, i feel i have completed one of my own personal goals. i feel that gilbert is a character that is barely delved into enough, and i’ve strived to truly explain the nature of his existence. i just can’t put into words how complex his character is, and to this day the only reason i’ve kept this blog is to further expand on this.

# 9 - Does your character dream or are their nights filled with an empty blackness? Describe a dream they’ve had or a night they couldn’t sleep and what they did to preoccupy their time.

I'm gonna do both because I love myself.

Gilbert experiences both nightmares AND nights of empty blackness, both often associated with countless events that have occurred in his life. These include, but are not limited to :

Oz's first ( + second ) coming-of-age ceremony

Childhood trauma ( pre-tragedy to pre-oz's-return )

The Tragedy of Sablier ( + any means of repetition )

Results of said happenings :

PTSD

Phobias

Rare episodes of dissociation ( included in PTSD )

Alterations to physical appearance

NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT OUT OF THE WAY LET'S GET TO THE GOOD STUFF

A typical nightmare is most likely a distressing repetition or exaggerated event associated with experiences Gilbert has come across. Oftentimes it is a vivid and elaborate replay of the past in which one is consciously aware of the choices made but is unable to change its results ( think of it as a mere dissociation but in the perspective of the dreamer's vessel (( their past / dream self )) and the dreamer cannot alter anything, only experience the trauma and witness the thought processes of their past / dream self ). These tend to end at the peak of distress.

Most frequent are the nights of eternal void, and most of these end at sporadic spans of time. These are not dealt with, and often lead to bouts of depression and a variety of other symptoms. Increased smoking and reassured thinking are two of his only coping mechanisms to ward off these episodes, but ultimately they fall victim to the intensity of his emotions and only aid in progressing them.

Kevin never believed in the Abyss all that much. He heard stories about Sablier and those myths parents were telling their kids, but it was mostly this : stories and myths.There is a catholic-like religion alive in Réveil, which is why people here celebrate Saint Bridget’s Day (you can also see some angel-like creatures like Luca from St Luca’s Gate or even hear about the Devil when Lily’s talking about her life story). Because of this, even if he’s not from this religion himself, his beliefs are somewhat shaped around something akin to Heaven and Hell, and even now Break can be heard using catholic-like imagery when he talks about death.

Now, Break believe in the Abyss (well, duh), but also see how the Abyss can become a Hell for the ones who did wrong, like how it can be some sort of Heaven for those who never played with the rules of this world.Because of his own Illegal Contract, and his failed promise to the Will, he thinks he won’t be able to enter the Cycle of Reincarnation like everyone else, which would be his own Hell since he would be stuck becoming a Chain or, even if he stayed himself, he would be stuck into an eternity of guilt and loneliness until he became crazy.
