Gil x Gabelle Sibling Headcanons
Requested: No but it’s been in my mind for ages so you get some cute Gil x Gabelle sibling headcanons
-Gil is older than Gabelle by five minutes, and he likes to use that five minutes to his advantage whenever he can
-They constantly have some sort of competition going on, but it’s all in good fun (although both are extremely competitive and don’t give up and can get them into pretty big trouble)
-When they were younger and all they had was each other, they used an old knife from their dad's tavern to carve a pointed G in each of their right arms. It’s their version of a tattoo, that way no matter what, they know they have each other whenever they look at the scar
-They also came up with a little slogan for when they felt it was them against the world: “G and G, meant to be, no matter what it’s you and me”.
-As children, Gil would do anything to put a smile on his sisters face...even if it meant doing something so stupid his father would punish him for it. In his mind, it was worth it if Gabelle smiled or laughed.
-And vice versa, Gabelle did anything to make Gil smile. She wasn’t good at being silly like him, so she often just stole whatever she could around the Isle to give to him.
-On their birthday, their dad never did anything for both of them, only Gil. So after Gil’s little celebration was over with, Gil would throw a mini party for Gabelle with the leftover cake and he’d give her presents and pretend it was only her birthday.
-But the best gift he ever gave her was that their birthday was always considered their day with each other where they didn’t leave each other's side unless necessary
-Their fights, while few and far between, can get extreme due to the fact they both have explosive tempers just like their father
-Even when they’re pissed off at each other, they are fiercely protective of each other. Gabelle is more than willing to punch someone’s lights out for Gil just as he is willing to punch someone for her.
-Gabelle doesn’t particularly care for Uma, she simply puts up with her for her brother's sake. She feels that Uma takes advantage over Gil’s kind nature and has more than once yelled at Uma for how she treats her brother.
-Gil went to Auradon first, which lead to Gabelle becoming severely depressed since he and Holly went to Auradon at the same time, so she lost both her best friends at the same time.
-Whenever Gil is feeling sad, she always sings their mother's favorite song for him (How Does A Moment Last Forever), and Gil is the only one who can get her to sing for.
-While she will never admit it, she looks up to her brother and wishes that she could be happy like him. She wishes she could be as optimistic as him and not see disaster around every corner, so every time Gil is upset it takes a huge toll on both Legume children.
-And vice versa, Gil wishes he had the same ability to think quick on his feet like Gabelle can. He wishes that he was like her in the sense of she doesn’t need someone to tell her what needs to be done; she just gets it done. Not only that, but he’s proud that she has done so much for her own education, even with their dad breathing up her back that she couldn’t do it.
-When Gabelle arrived in Auradon, it prompted a little curiosity in Fairy Godmother and some Auradonian psychologists, since Gil and Gabelle seemed to have a much deeper connection with each other than even normal siblings did. This led to the Legume twins being ‘test subjects’ to determine if being a twin made any difference in how VK’s bonded with one another.
-The twins could answer that one in half the time their questionnaires could...yes.
-In Gabelle’s words “having a twin on the Isle means having someone there for you since before you were born...I never knew a time without Gil, and Gil has never known a time without me. It’s always been us against the world. Gil is always my number one, I would choose him over even Holly. He is the only one who truly knows my struggle as the only daughter of Gaston, and I am the only one who knows his struggle as the dimwitted son of Gaston- sorry it’s true though. The Isle is a place where you can’t trust even your own family half the time...our older brothers, for example, would take any excuse to beat me senseless, but would never dream of doing that to one another...at least, not more than they already do, their brawls are more to show who is stronger rather than to actually hurt each other. But Gil has only ever helped me. Because we’ve always got each other’s back.”
-In Gil’s words “she’s my sister...I don’t think I’d be who I am today without Gabelle. I love her.”
All in all, the Legume twins love each other with all their hearts. Nothing will ever come between them, and it has even been said that in a way...they are each other’s true love. Not in the romantic way the term is normally used for, but as far as family goes, no one could ever love anyone more than they do.
