I wrote a thing! a real life thing!

The first chapter of my Gil is a superhero fic is now up on ao3 and also I’m alive and also I wrote something! Go appreciate my child Gil in the first chapter: “An Origin Story”. Gil accidentally finds a strange object that he hopes will change the sea3′s fate and help him finally feel worthy.

In future installments: Who will Gil face in the ultimate superhero showdown? Uhh.. Or simpler questions, like What’s his superhero name? What are his powers? Will he get the... pirates... of his dreams? (Duh)

Also I said AU but! This is 100% canon compliant through Rise (which you don’t have to read). Also I just yeet canon I don’t like, just like the actual descendants people, would you look at that.

hmmmm....

the tea is that harry is devoted but not blindly so, and he knows that he will get back an equal amount of what he puts in in the ways that uma and gil are capable of.

the tea is that gil didn’t have a filter, because people around him didn’t pay any mind to how their words affected him either, but he comes to understand why he should think before speaking, and why he shouldn’t call uma shrimpy.

i was thinking about how gil got his name right, and how he met uma and harry when they were kids and became friends and stuff then right. but why is he called gil.

so, gaston named 2/3 of his kids gaston. unsurprising. the man could give mother gothel a run for her money in a vanity contest.

but why not gil.

and why does gil have a name suited for the ocean (gil, gill yah it's p obvious) when his villain parent had nothing to do w the ocean.

here comes the theory. 

uma and harry named gil.

uma was always a leader, and harry seemed up for anything. they meet a small kid named gaston, with two older brothers named gaston and a dad named gaston.

uma is having none of it. she will not know someone who is one of four, she needs people who stand out.

so uma takes it upon herself to give him a new name. 

she'd always loved the ocean. it was more like a mother to her than ursula had ever been. she thinks for a second; remembers the fish in the shops, in the waves, remembers how they can breathe in a place with no air.

she looks back at this boy. he is smiling, unafraid, even as harry places his hand on a knife and prods at the various bruises decorating his body and this boy seems content, even in the horror that is the isle and he is finding happiness in a place where joy is drained out of you every second and he is breathing in a place with no air and uma decides.

‘gil’

no one sent me asks about gil and since hes fantastic and im horrible i wrote a whole 1600 word gil-centered fic about the sea3′s first meeting
