I have this headcanon that, much as he loves Hope and Robin, Gideon also kind of resents them because their villainous parents changed for them but his didn’t for him and he keeps wondering why he wasn’t enough for his father and why they deserved parents who loved them enough to change but he didn’t.*
*this ofc all happens in my own little universe where Rumple is dead and Gideon grew up in Storybrooke with Hope and Robin as his best friends.
