YAYYY i'm so glad you like it!!!! as for lefou, i personally really like him a lot due to his characterization! he's a guy who's dedicated himself to one person so much that he's idealized gaston in his head!!! personally i think he attached himself to gaston to find some sort of purpose in the town, go gain some sort of recognition. what i really find fascinating about lefou though is his violence. he is a bully, like gaston! and a lot of his aggression has to do with his height. like his aggressive moments mostly are when he has a height advantage over the other person (thinking about him jumping on the kills and attempting to murder lumiere. bro is willing to kill and murder fr) he's also manipulative! in the mob scene it is *lefou* that handles the crowd at first before the beast is revealed and gaston takes over. he's really great and making people see what they want to see tbh, he's just too attached to gaston to really do anything more with it. and that's the thing about gaston and lefou. they both fundamentally kinda fucking suck! their biggest flaws feed each other, gaston with his ego and lefou with his people pleasing. it's this sort of feedback loop that keeps them in this sort of stagnant stasis in regards to their relationship. gaston leads, lefou follows, that's how it's always been and that's how it'll always be. if lefou is gaston's right hand man, that has to count for something, right? *he* has to count for something. circling back to the height thing, i think that another interesting part of lefou's character is his disability! as a disabled person myself, i've always had a soft spot for disabled/disability-coded villains. lefou is somewhat implied in the original movie to have a form of dwarfism, as his physical characteristics are consistent with people who have dwarfism, meaning that he is disabled. he's smaller than everyone else, and he KNOWS he'll never measure up to someone like gaston so he settles for being number 2. lefou is kind of fundamentally a pathetic man too wrapped up in his own fears and people pleasing to see the reality of his situation. (aside: this is why i dislike batb 2017 and batb lefou's characterization. where is desperation. where is his mangy stray dog energy. you can have a redemption arc for lefou, but ya gotta come from the baseline that he is also a shitty person!! i think flattening him into a "soft boy" does a disservice to his character. also sideeying them removing his disability) lefou in a wolf at the door, however.......he's trapped in this weird place with gaston and he's seeing gaston as his most human. he would actively get mad at gaston after realizing he's not the perfect idealized paragon in his head. lefou straight up trying to kill gaston after this is a big plot point btw. after this however they're just both forced to coexist and lefou slowly falls in love with gaston as a human rather than having a crush on the unattainable ideal! and gaston starts to see lefou as human as well. ough two people that have subsumed themselves into a role so much that they don't feel like "real" people anymore. gaston is reduced to an ideal, lefou is reduced to a fool. but through this ordeal, they slowly start to feel "real" again. aaaaaaaagh sorry for the long ask lol
I love long asks don't worry hehe.
Anyway! I really love how you see LeFou, it's like, the same way I see him, which is interesting because I am not a huge LeFouhead or whatever. Ok, watch out my reply is all over the place lol.
- LeFou is a bully!!!! I also hate that they "redeemed" him in the 2017 film by basically sanding down his edges, (I feel the same way about Gaston in that movie tbh, they make him a little too likeable) he is just as cruel as Gaston, even when he isn't directly in front of him and doesn't have to be.
- His disability is a HUGE thing that contributes to his character, it adds an extra level onto Why he puts up with Gaston/ idolizes him. I really like the idea that Gaston is everything LeFou wants to be, and that manifests as a kind of superficial crush. I also never picked up on the fact that LeFou is specifically aggressive towards beings smaller than him, that is a interesting detail.
- LeFou enabling and being Gaston's hype man leading to Gaston giving him special attention apart from others is soooooo integral to their relationship. I honestly want to take apart their relationship and look at it so closely. It's toxic as hell, Gaston is physically abusive, and dismissive of LeFou, but who else gets to spend as much time with him as LeFou? He gets to carry Gaston's kills, he gets to cheer him up at the tavern, he gets to be part of the secret plans to send Maurice to the asylum. Sure everyone admires Gaston, but LeFou is making sure that he remembers that. It's so interesting it drives me crazy!!!
I just rewatched the bit where LeFou works up the crowd during the mob scene, and DAMN, he is not given enough credit for how charismatic he is in his own right. I've focused mostly on Gaston, (because I am obviously biased lmao) but with the tavern scene as well, it's amazing how LeFou can work a crowd. I forgot about the mob scene, but the tavern scene was influencing a plot point I was going to use in my fic hehe. He doesn't actually need Gaston, but he lacks confidence to do anything by himself.
I really love how you are using his and Gaston's character in your au, it's honestly delicious. Character based horror is soooo fun to play with and you are doing it so well. ❤️
Looking for more people interested in Gaston (or batb at all lol)
So many blogs I find haven't been active in a long time 🥲
@possummush drew me a squishy little Gaston.
Wouldn't he be the perfect stress ball?
I'm normal

Ranking Gaston Pt. 2
Concept Art Edition
There are literally so many iterations of Gaston, and not all of them are as beautiful as the final concept. So lets rate!
This is in no particular order and is all my own opinion
Wide Shoulders Tiny Waist
5/10
His outfit here is really interesting to me, kind of a fancier version of his final wedding outfit in the movie. His proportions are Absolutely Ridiculous, like this man is wearing a corset for sure. I kinda enjoy the situation that's going on with his face here, basically no eyes, all chin.
Normal but with a Pencil Mustache
6/10
I honestly hate the mustache. It looks like he is going through a phase where he smokes expensive cigarettes and only watches foreign films now. Shave it off king.
Pale Red Outfit
5/10
This design is objectively fine. However, he looks like the protagonist of a failed action comic from the 70's. The attitude is there, but it just isn't enough for me.
Pale Blue Rococo
7/10
Now, this may seem odd to people that are familiar with what I enjoy in a classic Gaston depiction. HOWEVER! I also have a special interest in Rococo, fashion, music, architecture, art, all of it. So while this normally would not tick my boxes for a great Gaston, it automatically received 2 autism points alone. I also enjoy his stupid smug face.
Random Other Versions (Lighting Round)
Hair like a Hat Brim
3/10
WTF is this, way too aristocratic.
Random Headshot?
5/10
It has potential, but that just isn't him.
Another Rococo Headshot
3/10
Uncanny. Can't put my finger on it, but it's a no from me.
Someone Just Wanted to Paint Clothing that Day
5/10
Purely just Autism points here. Absolutely no Gaston vibes.
Wide Rococo Headshot
6/10
This feels more like Gaston purely because of face shape. Smile gorgeous, why the long face? (IDK why the picture is so small.)
I think that Gaston would also love Hip to be Square by Huey Lewis and the News in the same way Patrick Bateman does, He's missing the point but he's like "yes, I am conforming so good, I'm going to get an A+ at performing masculinity."
In this essay I will discuss how Gaston's desire to be the best at everything is merely an effort at attempting to perform masculinity "the best", and he is an example of how masculinity taken to its most extreme wraps around to being kind of feminine. Hyper masculinity being seen as gay in such cases is interesting to me, Like cis men are trying so hard but it still comes off as "fruity" because they are attempting to appeal to other men.
Of course, cis men only appeal to other cis men for approval because they aren't even considering cis women (or anyone else) as people whose opinions are to be respected.
An excellent example of this for Gaston is how he disregards the approval of the Bimbettes (unfortunately Disney official name). He doesn't really take their approval as anything other than the status quo.
Whenever his manly facade slips, You can notice that there are always other men witnessing him, When he is rejected by Belle, the entire town is there. Whenever LeFou makes a joke that pisses him off or soaks him with beer (near the start of his song, just before he starts the fight) he reacts with violence, Because the only way he knows to maintain his perfect masculine identity is through force.
My thoughts are kind of disjointed here but hopefully there are some interesting thoughts in here.
Edit: this was me infodumping on discord so sorry for any grammar mistakes!
Working on a manifesto longer post, but here is something I cut from it because it was a bit too off the rails for what I was getting at.
The tavern being owned by Gaston is, to put it simply, not canon in the context of the 1991 movie. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but at best we get implications that he has free reign of the tavern, whether that is via ownership or his respected status is unclear, to start fights and do shady deals in the night without consequence. Disney has retroactively chosen to make the Fantasyland attraction "Gaston's Tavern", which I think muddles the water considerably, but I don't count anything from the theme parks as canon in this case.
