shows up 10 years late w/ an intro/info post . as we all well know from the ooc blog : i’m cosbo ! i still play pokemon go , i create things you never asked for in photoshop , i’ve been in love with gaston since the age of four , & i don’t think i’ve ever once gotten enough sleep in my life . under the cut i’ll give you a rundown on your favorite self absorbed french asshole & how i’m playing him + an important note regarding my activity in the upcoming weeks !

MY WHAT A GUY , THAT GASTON !

if you’ve heard the catchy song you probably know that no one does literally anything quite like gaston . & true enough gaston is talented plus he’s probably one of the most handsome people you will ever meet but the downside to that fact is he is fully aware of it . gaston thinks he shits gold probably . he shows up to birthday parties with no present & say his presence alone is a present . he’s the king of entitled white boys . & unfortunately he’s not quite familiar with the word NO . if he thinks your pretty , he may lay some moves on you & if you try to turn him down honestly he’ll just be more interested just ask belle . this mainly goes for just girls but am i gonna sit here & say he can’t appreciate a pretty man ? you bet your sweet ass i’m not . no one’s bi like gaston ! however , he does come from a time where any form of non heterosexuality was highly frowned upon so … he’s coming to terms w/ that one . it’s fine he’ll get there .

GASTON’S PAST : we don’t know much about gaston’s past other than he did fight in a war ( given the timeline of beauty & the beast being mid 18th century there’s a few possibilities in which war he fought in but we’re gonna say it was either the war of austrian succession (1740 - 1748) or it was the seven years war (1754 - 1763) ) & he became a war hero & an army captain . it was also stated by luke evans in an interview that gaston’s celebrity status in the little village of villeneuve comes from the fact he protected the village from a pack of portuguese marauders in 1740 when he was just 16 . in the book it also states that this war he fought in & became a hero in was 12 years prior to the story . what baffles me the most abt that is he still wears his uniform . who has clothes that still fit & look pristine for 12 years ???? anyway . speaking of his uniform an interesting thing to note is that gaston’s war uniform is bright red . in the 18th century ... the french army wore blue . the red coats were the british so ... from that we can assume gaston fought with the british army which i’ll have more on that deal in the family section of the intro post but what i wanna talk about here is on one hand we can believe gaston was a british war hero who had ties to france that had him live there . on the other , & i think this better fits gaston’s horrid personality , gaston could be a deserter from the british army who stabbed the british in the back , turning on them & becoming a war hero for france . he is fond of stabbing backs it seems like him . now ! moving on ! gaston does have ptsd from the war , even luke said this in an interview , though he keeps it under wraps by feeding off the praise he gets , making himself feel useful & wanted rather than focusing on how empty his life’s been since the war , & burying it under his inflated ego . underneath that , however ? yeah , he’s pretty broken , jaded , & when he doesn’t get what he wants his anger comes forth in a very militaristic fashion that seeks to destroy anything in his path to what he wants due to the fact that part of him is still seeking to return to the war . not even tweleve whole years have shaken the battle out of gaston & his mind since it just hasn’t been able to settle back . some part of him has wired itself to live on the adrenaline & action of the war & his frustration with his inability to settle back into a peaceful life has made him crave the war . he seeks for the thrill , the high , of war similiar situations & while most once shook their head at this they would come to find out that his war hungry half can be something more far more dangerous when his anger is tested along with it . it’s times like that when gaston hardly realizes he’s partly acting on his frustration & anger with mundane life & subconscious need for the chaos of war .

GASTON’S FAMILY : we know nothing of gaston’s parents … but one can assume he’s probably from a well off family & he’s most definitely an only child . one headcanon i do have is that while gaston’s mother was french , his father , though of french decent hence the surname legume , was from england . in the 2017 film , lefou says ‘je ne sais quoi ?’ & gaston responds that he doesn’t know what that means . pretty sad for a french guy , yeah ? they way i headcanon it is that gaston was born in england & his family moved to france with but his mother soon left he & his father when gaston was still very young . so gaston’s british , technically . he & his father simply didn’t move after his mother left , it was too much a hassle , & gaston’s father spoke most only english & also sought gaston out an english tutor . from living in france , yes , gaston has indeed picked up some french but he’s actually not fluent . he knows a good amount of basic conversation & could hold a decent one & then he also knows military commands but that’s about it . through most his life , when having trouble with the languge be that trouble speaking it or listening to it , he would often turn to lefou to translate . anyhow , back on topic , much of gaston’s personality comes from his extreme need for attention as a child & his father’s spoiling of him in addition to his father’s insanely sexist view on masculinity which he inherited .

GASTON IN THE ENCHANTED FOREST : we all know how beauty & the beast ends for gaston . he does a cheep shot at the beast from behind then , afterwards , the structure he was standing on crumbles & he falls to his death . well , the last thing gaston remembers is falling . that is the point of beauty & the beast that i’ve taken him from . that being said , this mean’s gaston’s anger & deranged violent nature is at critical level . tick him off ? you’re getting hit . he’s extremely angry at belle … yet still wants to marry her because now it’s just a matter of pride kinda thing . if you bring up the beast or just anything about his story , probably , he will snap a bit .

MISCELLANEOUS HEADCANONS :

yes , gaston can read ! unlike his cartoon counterpart who only likes picture books . now , he doesn’t read any of the books they have in the village , of course , as they’re all in french ( save for romeo & juliet as it’s by an english playwright but gaston would not subject himself to reading gooey romance shakespear when things such as hamlet & macbeth exist ) & he’s even less terrific at reading french than he is at speaking it . mostly he reads only from his father’s small collection of books which he grew up with & has now inherited . his favorite is actually macbeth , seeing as he quotes it in the mob song .

he really loves breakfast food you guys . does he really eat 5 dozen eggs a day ? may have been an exaggeration . but ! he does eat a good heap of eggs every morning & it’s at least slightly concerning .

most of the time he will only do things that somehow benefit him . this is how he is & if he doesn’t see gain in his end in whatever you’re asking him to do he’ll most likely turn it down .

if doing something will get him adoring fans he’ll do it & he won’t let anyone else help . he lives for praise . oh there’s a child in a burning building ? you’re going to save it ? not anymore he’ll tie you to a tree so that he can do it & get the glory . he’s a very bad team player for sure .

WANTED CONNECTIONS : i. LEFOU . connection taken ! gaston abanoned lefou , who only spent his days adoring gaston & being in literal love w/ him , to die after using him as a human sheild & letting him crushed by candenza . as horrible as gaston was to lefou in the end he does know that lefou is his biggest fan & before his jealousy & anger took him over he was genuinely friends with lefou . lefou has been his friend since he was young & fought in the war beside him . guaranteed to anyone who brings me a lefou : heartbreaking plots , many tears , my constant bothering of you , sad headcanons , MY ETERNAL LOVE!!!!! , any gif icons or static icons of lefou you may need i will make them for you , & more ! a josh gad fc would be preferred but ik he doesn’t have the most abundant of resources so if you have someone else in mind that’s fine but like just hmu first if you’re using someone else . i seriously will make you static & gif icons if you use josh , though , like i will make resources for you . LISTEN I’D JUST LOVE A LEFOU SO MUCH !

+ COSBO’S ACTIVITY NOTE 6/3 !

i’m moving in two weeks ! yeah , i joined a rpg at not the best time but it’s fine . see , you may notice that on my app i say i’m in pacific time ! well , i’m actually currently in central standard time at the current moment . but i’m going to be moving literally across the country to california ! i put pacific time on my app though because i thought it pointless to put the timezone of somewhere i’m not even gonna be for much longer . this means i will be packing , routing my trip , trying to get a new job , working at my two current jobs , & spending time with friends before i leave all in the upcoming two weeks ! i’m very busy but i will try to get on here as much as i possibly can . if worse comes to worse then i will request a semi hiatus until i’m successfully across the country !

***UPDATE : I’VE MOVED SO NO WORRIES ABT THIS NOW LMAO
