Hi, everyone. It's me. Back again, to give you more Gilmore!Facts from campaign 1 that didn't make it into LoVM.
You may or may not know that "my bird" is one of Gilmore's pet names for Vax. Well. There's a reason for that.
The first time Vax used his wings, it was because Gilmore pushed him off a cliff. With love. To show him what he could do.
See, when the gang first returned to Whitestone after getting the Death Walker's Ward (some really dramatic things happened which will probably never make it onto the show), after which Vax asked Gilmore to take a look at his armor. And Gilmore noticed the RQ had recently upgraded the armor for Vax.
And there's a really beautiful scene where Vax learns how to fly and he's so elated that he snatches Gilmore up in his arms and they fly together and it's romantic and heartbreaking because they're not together like that anymore... but I digress.
Here's some well-known canon-accurate fanart by Wendy Sullivan (@wendydoodles here and on twitter) of that scene:
Believe it or not, Vaxilmore used to be a decent-sized ship.
It's fine changing things from the campaign. Like Tal said, The Legend of Vox Machina is "a reinterpretation". But Gilmore deserves better than what he's gotten so far. And so I'll be back. Giving you these little facts.
i had no idea you had a bird omg i love supermango so much!!! what a pretty boy!!! do you have any recent pics of him? i am willing to give pics of my own bird as compensation if u wish
Here is the lad (most of my photos of him are of him in his flight cage cause when he's out of his cage he just flies away when I try to get a photo (or tries to eat my phone))
