#gus appreciation

[loosescrewslefty]

I am feeling very, VERY emotional about the Willow + Gus + Hunter Friendship right now, in particular in regards to the ways they show and accept comfort.

Because, you see, when we're trying to comfort someone else-- especially if it's someone we don't know very well/at all-- people typically try to give the kind of comfort that best works on them first. Take Luz, for example. Luz is very much a tactile person, all about physical comfort/affection. So when she sees someone is sad, her first instinct is typically to touch or hug them in some way, and when she herself is sad she wants to be hugged, or covered in a blanket/plushies in order to get that sense of touch she craves to make her feel better.

When Willow first sees that Gus is in the room with her, and is upset, her first move is to try to comfort him with humor, to make him laugh. And when that doesn't work, Willow switches tactics, to soothe/relax instead. Which is what gets the job done.

Now on top of being VERY clever and a total sweetheart, Gus is a Social Chameleon. He's adaptable to the needs and wants of others. And when we first see him in Season 1, he's kind of a goofball, who doesn't seem to take anything seriously. And looking back at that after Labyrinth Runners, I suspect that was an intentional persona Gus took up in order to comfort Willow, who had to deal with constant bullying from students and teachers alike, because he was perceptive enough to realize that Willow's preferred form of comfort is to laugh.

This is why his goofier persona mellows and his sweeter side shines through more as the show progresses, especially in Season 2, because Willow is in a better place now and doesn't NEED someone to make her laugh so that she feels better.

And this is when Hunter comes in.

Hunter is someone who probably never received comfort from another person when he was upset at any point in his life before Labyrinth Runners. Which is why he benefitted so much from being paired with Gus for this episode, because Gus cares and is super perceptive to the feelings and needs of others, so he is the one who knows what to do and say to best help Hunter in his time of need.

And when it came time to return the kindness Gus had shown him earlier and pull him out of his own head, even though Hunter felt MASSIVELY unprepared to do so, he still stepped up. He powered past his own problems to help Gus, because Gus was his friend and he needed him just like he had needed Gus earlier. So he finally opened up to him about what he was going through, showing Gus the trust he had asked for earlier and allowing himself to be vulnerable. And then, he tried the breathing technique to help calm Gus down. But it didn't quite work out the way he planned.

Instead of calming Gus down, he helped him by making him laugh.

So, I wanted to make this as an appreciation post for the fandom. Looking at all the reveals we've gotten in the last few days and seeing how much the world of TIG has expanded so quickly, I've been getting a bit nostalgic.

When I joined this fandom, it was August of 2022, barely a month out from the release date of The Final Gambit, the finale of The Inheritance Games. I found out about TIG at a random bookstore on a road trip and I had immediate interest (the hot tub scene sold me so quick). I was also still somewhat new to Tumblr back then but I wanted to see what the hype was here.

Back then, we were still in the Averyjameson vs Averygrayson era even though I'd say things were cooling down a bit. But, that's not my point. The community was getting ready for this; there were chapter reveals, theories, and oh, it was awesome. I was so happy to be part of it. And some of the people who made it a lively place back then are still here, but unfortunately, some have gone quiet. @averysjameson, @guppyclato, @lesbianator3000, @margolovescoffeeandbooks, and @cherryschaos, thank you for making my days back then. I know you may have moved on, but I thank you for the contribution you made at the time.

The only thing I will not miss is the toxicity that Averyjameson and Averygrayson fans plagued this fandom with and divided us so much. We had a lot back then to still savor, why did we have to do that to sour the tag when this series had so much more to offer than just the romantic subplot? There was a mystery at large and so many other characters to love. We only seemed to agree on hating Emily and the old man. Moving on, let's never do that again and if there is another love triangle, let's try being more mature about it. I know we can. If Gray, Avery, and Jamie moved on, so can we.

When we were told of The Brothers Hawthorne back in October 2022 and given those first chapters for the new book, I was over the moon. We were going to finally see the POVs of two favorites; Grayson and Jameson. I was so excited to see from Jamie's perspective, to get a mystery set in London and for him to solve it with Avery; it was an Averyjameson dream. However, come the actual release of the book and I was honestly so disappointed. I'm not sure why it didn't hit the levels it should have but I already said my piece on that and while I still have some disdain for that story, I look fondly at the parts I did love. And funny enough, I told myself Grayson's story will just have to do only because I was feeling sour over Jameson's plot. But low and behold, I loved it! It was deep, funny, interesting, and held my attention as if I was in TIG all over again and it hit more high notes than Jameson's. I may attribute that to the familial connections we see displayed there but it felt more rewarding and even if JLB still had more for Grayson's development, that didn't mean Jameson had to suffer for it. However, I'm hoping that this story here was a fluke and I'm putting my best foot forward in believing that maybe reading Averyjameson through Avery's POV again in Games Untold will give back that familiar feeling I've been missing for two years. I never said I wouldn't try again.

Now, we've entered a new era and this is a third for me; The Grandest Game and Games Untold. During this period, I met @hathorneheiress, my fanfic bestie, and a lot of my current supporters have been with me since TBH. I thank you very much for sticking with me by liking, reblogging, and commenting on my posts. You make my day in the same way I assume my content makes yours. I haven't said that enough and I don't think it will ever be. I'm happy that we're all still here now and going into this new unknown with our theories, headcanons, new characters, and plots. I'm sure it will be a blast. Thank you for giving me that feeling again these last few days; it felt like being with Avery and the gang, running through the House, finding another clue, waiting in anticipation what it reveals.

I hope that this next series is everything we hope for it to be, a new start for Gray, a chance to bond with the new characters we met in The Brothers Hawthorne, and an opportunity to make it feel like the hay days of the first book. I hope that Games Untold lets us relish that feeling with the original cast, to relive the good old days, to meet up with some old friends we haven't seen in a while, and to have that final hurrah that leaves us on the highest of highs in the best way possible. Maybe it'll make it easier to say goodbye to the ways it used to be and embrace the new storytellers but of course, with the way JLB leaves us hanging with every story she gives, who is to say that'll be it?

Thank you to everyone who makes theories, headcanons, fanfics, fanart, and so many other things that leave us wanting more. Thank you to everyone who showers that content with support in the form of likes, comments, and reblogs. Thank you to everyone who has been here from the beginning, in the middle, and now. You all made this a special place. Thank you to everyone who made this community that way and continue to do so every day. I'm happy to be a small part of that. See you in the next post.

OWL HOUSE FACT #67: Before they met Luz, the Human Appreciation Society believed in (what they assumed was) a mythological figure in human society known as “Mr. Worldwide”, who they suspected could appear anywhere in the human world at will.

Gus and Willow attempted to summon him at a sleepover by chanting “305!” over and over again in front of a mirror.

what I appreciate best about mbc tomorrow is how all the main four proudly and regularly drink ‘respect women’ juice:

choi joon-woong? goodest boi, actual puppy, will cry pure tears for you

lim ryung-gu? actual momma’s boi, beats up r*pists, an absolute icon

park joong-gil? simp for his wife, no to victim-blaming, will probably savage (or burn) people who call women sl*ts

koo ryeon? QUEEN, ‘you will never be able to shame me’, epitome of dignity 

it’s funny how koo ryeon is actually the LEAST vocal as a feminist among the four of them. 

#mbc tomorrow #netflix tomorrow #tomorrow kdrama #koo ryeon #choi joon woong #lim ryung gu #park joong gil #I like everyone else probably love the married couple ship #but joon woong is probably my favorite character #tied with koo ryeon #because of the sensitivity and empathy he displays #while the other three will beat up abusers #and that is much appreciated wow #the care and simple kindness that joon woong shows #is just touching to me #ramblings about kdramas

s1!Gus doesn't get enough credit imo. even if he had no chance, my boy was ready to kick Lilith's ass back in AOAW, knowing well she was not only one of the most powerful witches, but also in direct contact with Belos. WHAT A CHAMP

[sirenofthegreenbanks]

it FUCKS ME UP that THE ONE THING that displays GROWTH and a better life and a reaching of a dream for these characters is ALSO THE VERY SAME THING that MAKES THE RED WEDDING POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!! how dare!!!!!!!!! like, zzs started out wanting to make better decisions if he has the opportunity and to give people second chances if within his power, do good over more violence (result: a-xiang and cwn die, the valley is massacred). wkx wants nice things for his sister after finally reaching a point in his life where he can safely display his affection and invest in a good future (result: his sister dies in his arms trying and failing to avenge her would-be husband, in her bridal clothes, and the place he wanted to transform is massacred). a-xiang spends most of the show jumpy and prickly, accusing people of the worst. in truth, she wants a life where she can trust that someone has her best interest at heart, even if things are uncertain. (result: her husband gets killed in front of her, she avenges him in a suicide mission and fails, her family get massacred with wkx almost killing himself over achieving her last wish). i mean, theyve all fought so badly for love and hope, to reach a point where they can put the worst behind them! and its exactly this wish to make a change, do smth different than before, that KILLS THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! its evil
