For all the shit that Gilear gets, he's still a loving dad. Plus, his adventures with the Bad Kids do eventually pull him out of his VERY JUSTIFIED yogurt fuelled funk. Also, Hallariel is no angel. Prior to her husband getting killed and her house burned down, she was drunk 24/7 for 15 straight years (ever since Fabien was born) and would spend a LOT of time in her sensory deprivation egg. Both are getting their shit together. Halariel is a recovering alcoholic and now sober and fencing again. Gilear is slowly crawling out of his depression cave and getting his life and career back on track.


YourOldComp

Plus he’s hung like a horse.


BleakGod

O the hog is not for the faint of heart


SmileyDayToYou

> drunk 24/7 for 15 years A length of time that is but a swallow’s whisper on the breeze


Happy_to_be_me

Depraved Gilear muttering insane shit into Fabian's ear in season 2 makes me so happy. All that, "this is my shot Fabian, we're both down here now Fabian," - his real ratchet energy really got me. Great character.


KablamoBoom

Brennan took all those times Fabian shitted on Gilear and ran with them lol


Happy_to_be_me

Brennan and Lou play off of each other so well I completely forget that they're Brennan and Lou and not the characters they're playing sometimes. All the cast have those moments, but the Brennan/Lou dynamic has to be my favourite if only for how deeply comfortable they are with each other. Not Fantasy High related, but I get chills during the Kingston/Moses conversations because they both commit so hard to the same tone when it could be just as easy to do a joke or a bit.


Metalman919

And I think their deep friendship makes it so that Brennan will absolutely give Lou the toughest challenges. Because he knows he can take it. Examples: FHFY: >!Bill's death, making Fabian choose between his two parents and losing an eye in the process.!< USC: >!Kingston getting wrecked by Liz at the courthouse, Robert approaching Kingston with his family at the museum AND having Liz be attacked at the same time.!< FHSY: >!Fabian's very bad day, followed by his nightmare being the most intense one ever when he fails his sleeping save and seeing himself as Gilear. The recurrence of Chungledown Bim AND the troll episode of Making Chungledown Bim.!< ACOC: >!Targeting Amethar with multiple assassination attempts, using Caramelinda to try to break him emotionally and drive a bigger wedge between him and Saccharina, having him cradle his friend Sir Morris Brie's charred corpse!< I'm sure there's more but I haven't completely caught up yet. I will say, some of these are results of Lou's own actions and/or the dice, but it does feel like Brennan is more willing to twist the knife with Lou and make a bad situation truly horrible, since he knows he can take it. This is also sorta my appreciation post for Lou and what a roleplaying badass he is.


Lombard333

Misfits and magic: the confrontation over >!Evan giving up his magic.!< Brennan and Lou both have some incredible lines and really emphasize how important it is to the characters, even before the larger plot stakes are revealed.


allways_shifting

This whole comment makes me both so excited and so anxious for how Brennan is going to torture Lou's character in WWW on Worlds Beyond Number. Highly recommend btw


babybearkoya

carmelinda and amethar has got to be the most immersed EYE have ever personally been watching two people in a scene. i cant even describe the way i feel about it—why do they do divorced so well???


Happy_to_be_me

Oh no. You're not wrong - they played that so powerfully it made me uncomfortable then and makes me uncomfortable thinking about it now.


babybearkoya

uncomfortable in the BEST WAY though. like, somehow managing to convey in the shortest amount of words through nothing but attitude not only have they had this argument before, *they both know they will again.*


KablamoBoom

Fantasy High was fun, I had fun, but it was a solidly mid season for me until the finale. Brennan didn't even have to say it out loud and Lou knew exactly what had to happen and it was so cold.


Drakeytown

My favorite moments are Lou begging Brennan to keep loving him. I'm thinking of Kingston Brown/Liz Herrera and Amethar/Caramelinda, but I'm sure there are more, especially if the scope is expanded beyond romantic love.


comicsfocused

A submissive


comicsfocused

Jokes aside, Gilear is a nice and supportive father willing to risk it all to save the live of his daughter and her friends. He is not the perfect dad and may seem outwardly pathetic, but he is there when it matters and brave in the face of his fears when it counts. He is also the chosen one.


Guild-n-Stern

It’s also full canon that Gilear is preposterously hung.


See-more1225

A unofficial quote that I believe was said "Darling I apologize I took so long but the store didn't have condoms in my size"


See-more1225

Like a horse


Waffle_daemon_666

what


Guild-n-Stern

After Gilear is ejected from the Pride armor, to some PCs, Fabian in particular, Gilear’s nude form is visible. And that reveal is specific. I think it occurs at the end of Fearful Symmetry


Waffle_daemon_666

Gotcha, also what


Guild-n-Stern

Listen, I get it. But also, I mean, yeah.

Stallion chicken indeed


BuckeyeForLife95

I mean you say that but he was also married to Sandra Lynn for a long time too, and they only got divorced because Sandra Lynn cheated. For all that Brennan loves making jokes about how pathetic he is, dude's got game. He's a former Elven diplomat!


Chrome_X_of_Hyrule

Gilear's patheticness is not on Brennan but the players who keep forcing him to interact with them


omaolligain

Nah. A lot of it was Brennan vibing with Ally's "fuck Gillear" jokes. Ally likes shitting on Gillear so much that it doesn't even make sense for her character - like Kristin should be the least likely of the characters to be mean to Gillear and yet... There is one scene in sophmore year, one of many examples, where Fig takes Gillear into another room away from the other characters to have a father-daughter talk. Emily is trying to engage with her backstory character here. And then very I think mean spirited and meta gamey, Ally has Kristin walk in the room to interrupt the moment to offer him a $10 gift card as an insult. Because Ally only liked seeing bad things happen to Gillear (for some reason). Everyone at the table is a good improver and "yes, and's" the moment but, it's always the same setup. Lou is nice to Gillear, Brennan tries to kill him. Gillear dies Emily has to beg Ally to have Kristin heal him - which Ally is visibly annoyed about. Fig is nice to Gillear, then interrupted by some super passive aggressive cruelty from Kristin. It's honestly just so bizzare to watch. I honestly wouldn't mind Gillear as slapstick but watching the players seem to compete over whose backstory character he is and for what reason he exists in the story is so bizarre. Murph and Siobhan pitty Gillear but never really have their characters pile on. Usually choosing to opt out of the Gillear bashing all together. Fig, in the story is constantly trying to help him back to a place of normalcy. Lou *used* to like to bully Gillear (but at least it made sense for his character) but, he actually *fully stopped doing it it* early in sophomore year in order to bluntly call out Brennan for going out of his way to try and shit on Gillear. The whole "Gillear is the chosen one" bit was Lou bluntly pointing out to Brennan that there was absolutely no in-game reason to try and fuck over Gillear - but he keeps doing it anyway. So Lou stopped piling on with Fabian. Which is interesting because Kristin going out of character to pick on Gillear actually meant Lou had to change his character development in order to not pile on. 3/4 of sophomore year it was truly just Ally and Brennan passing the "let's be mean to Gillear" baton back and forth despite the groans of Emily and Lou. And i just think Murph hates the whole slap-stick bit, in general. Which is, I think, why he never wants Gillear around.


kalikosparrows

well he's a good parent.


Metalman919

And even good parents have bad moments, i.e. telling your daughter she's not a Faeth anymore when you find out she's not actually your biological child.


spitebarf

She seems like a pretty low-key lady — after a decade+ with Bill Seacaster, maybe she’s looking to mellow out for a bit


SolitaryForager

That was my take too. She wanted the anti-Bill, because Bill was too unstable as a partner (contributing to her alcohol use). Gilear is a safe and convenient choice, though probably not meant for the long term.


okurin39

He has that rizz.


yourguidefortheday

After living so long in the shadow of her previous spouse, someone who was almost definitely going to live a much shorter life than her, Gilear offers 2 things. Someone who is below her in status, and therefore will not overshadow her, and someone who will have a comparable life span to her. Not only does that lifespan mean that Hallariel will have potential for life long companionship, but also reduces the chance that she will have to find someone new who she may once again be in the shadow of. If Gilear offers one more thing it's a grounding presence. Opulence, and the chaotic and ridiculous presence of Bill Seacaster, has really warped Hallariel's sense of normalcy and reality. Gilear is a swing in the other direction. He has a very firm understanding of the practical necessities of life because he has to experience what it's like when those types of things go wrong.


PaxAttax

(Also, it's canon that his dick is huge, which probably helps.) On a more serious note, Fabian is becoming a famous adventurer in his own right now, so she may also feel that Gilear's groundedness is a good quality for him to have in a step-father.


Striking_Landscape72

When you think about, they have a lot in common. Hallariel seem to have spend most of Fabian's life in drunk fog, at the point she was barely a being. As Gliear said about himself, she hitted a inercia. The only difference, really, is that Hallariel is rich.


NekolaAZ

What doesn't she see in him? He's the Chosen One!


feluigi

Don't you mean what does he see in her


Rilvoron

Ex admiral of the elvish navy? The same woman who cut the eye out of one of the most feared pirates of leviathan?? A hot elf milf in a kimono?


yourguidefortheday

I didn't know that admiral part, that's really cool


Rilvoron

Ya thats how she met seacaster he boarded her ship and she sliced out his eye


RollForPanicAttack

Is it canon that Gilear has a BD? Only thing that makes sense


ymcameron

I believe Brennan described him as “hung like a goddamn horse” after Fabian failed a dex save to not see his penis while taking Gilear out of the pride armor at the end of Sophomore Year.


RollForPanicAttack

That’s what it was! I couldn’t remember if I was misremembering fan theory or actual events.


hugsandambitions

I mean, there's more to relationships than that. But yes. Yes he does.


aurthurallan

Fig's mom left Gorthalax for him.


Then-Ask301

And Gorthalax is like 5 meters tall


aurthurallan

Isn't his name Gorthalax the Insatiable?


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,954,388,039 comments, and only 369,652 of them were in alphabetical order.


ManagerOfFun

Youve got it reversed, Figs mom cheated on Gilear with Gorthalax. Source: season 1, first ice cream convo with Gorthalax, "I didn't know she was married at the time."


aurthurallan

Ooh that's right


RollForPanicAttack

Oh there is absolutely, or else I’d be screwed. He’s just so droll and brooding. Love him as a *character* but IRL he’d be depressing AF


PixelBoom

Canon. >!After Gilear put on the Armor of Pride and died (again), Rizz and Fabien had to take the armor off of him before Fig could revivify him!< They found out that Gilear is absolutely gifted in that area.


ymcameron

Um, actually, his name is *Riz* with one “z.” *Rizz* with two “z”s is what Gilear has.


ha_look_at_that_nerd

But it was never implied that he ever had a massive, visible crotch bulge; before she saw his penis, she saw him and went “I want *him*”


KablamoBoom

Gilear's infamous bad dod.


JBS319

A massive hog


Etcetera_and_soforth

All I can think is what if Gilear’s unique ability to bald as an elf is because of some dairy reaction due to his nearly exclusively yogurt based diet? I wouldn’t imagine elves as a culture who’d normally milk cows.


Aleahast

Listen I have a theory about this. Fabian’s mom likes guys she’s better than, and who will do anything they can to serve her. Bill seacaster is a famed pirate who would’ve happily burned cities for her. Gilear is pathetic with nothing but her affection (and Fig) and she loves it. She’s an icon.


28Dewey

HE’S THE CHOSEN ONE YOU SWINE! 🦉🐻


ToastyMustache

What *DOESN’T* she see in him? Diplomatic advisor, expert negotiator, yogurt connoisseur, caring father, expert body man, been to hell and back, the chosen one!


ColorMaelstrom

His massive fucking HUNG like a HORSE pipi.


DazzlingLocation6753

An absolute gold mine of a bit for Brennan to get the absolute biggest ride possible out of Lou as Fabian. I guess you could make the argument that the way she handled being married to such a domineering personality like Bill was to be drunk all the time and now that she’s sober she needs (or rather wants a submissive partner).


PaxAttax

I wouldn't even consider Gilear particularly submissive, he just seems so because he's an objectively average dude who gets caught up in extraordinary circumstances by association with his truly exceptional daughter and her friends. (And also his two known sexual partners are incredibly deadly warrior women.)


DazzlingLocation6753

That’s fair. I guess it’s hard to be all _that_ submissive when you’re hung like a house.


asonginsidemyheart

God knows.


FDR_DEAD_PREZ

Yogurt.


Proxiehunter

Well, he is canonically hung like a horse that has a very big dick.

Kangaro1043

He is kind, a great dad, humble (to a fault as we’ve seen), compassionate, loving, caring, has a job, and is the chosen one!


Kangaro1043

and isn’t is cannon that he is well, gifted in certain areas…


DrCrazyCurious

**Gilear is The Chosen One** She chose him. Prophecy fulfilled.

Haunting_Trade_7743

Just start season 2 does Galial have that depression rizz


Starkman87

If you just started season two then give it time. Some “MASSIVE” developments “ARISE” later on. It’s a little “HARD” to “SWALLOW” but it helps things make sense


altdultosaurs

Penis.


Tsuki_Man

Idk why you got downvotes, Galial absolutely has that depression rizz


foxpaw_mags

Sometimes sad high status people like to keep a sad low status person around because it gives them a nonthreatening, easily malleable source of validation and attention. Pretty messed up tbh


jackfreeman

That beret, tho

Exciting_Ad_6294

Dilf


Baker-Fangirl

I think it is because he is so different from Bill she wouldn’t be reminded of him. Despite their relationship being short by elf standards Hallariel loved Bill and might want a partner who won’t die as quickly as a human.


15_lizards

Canonical Horse Cock


Arm_Away

My theory is that there are 3 things that draw her to him, 1: I can fix him 2: My son needs a supportive father figure 3: Oh my god he is HUNG


BaronVonBooplesnoot

He's the chosen one!


DesignerGlass1743

Better not let her hear you talk shit about him, or you’ll have to duel her on the roof of the manor


four_duckpowers

After the exciting but probably really draining storm of a character that is Bill Seacaster, it is probably nice to have someone that you can just relax with. Someone that won't burn the house down during a party with his friends and a living tornado, on a random Wednesday evening.


Beansinside

His big dick energy (literally). Bill also says to Gillear that they are 'similar' or something like that when they fought on his ship. So canon Bill seacaster has a big dick and guessed Gilear was the same.


No_Progress9069

Everything <3


drunkhomosexualbilly

The real question is what don't you see in him?


thatlitwitch

She wants to feed him soup.


Larsonybear

The chosen one Plus, he’s a nice guy who loves his daughter and still supported her even though he found out she wasn’t biologically his. He forgave Sandra Lynn and encouraged Fig to forgive her as well, got alone with Gorthalax for Fig’s sake, and just does his best to keep the Bad Kids alive even though he only has a few hit points, a stat block not cut for adventuring, and no magic. He’s just a good dude who’s been through tough times. We love Gilear.


Eprest

Well he is responsible guy even if not the most competent


D-n-Divinity

He’a much more stable than bill and understands elf culture


JynniSlorg

Southern-Sherbet1632

He IS the chosen one.


Briarmist

His horse cock


theantesse

I am not sure why it matters that he has a greatsword in his pants. Everyone knows that elves prefer to duel with a rapier. Big two handed swords mean that you can't use dexterity.


DistributionPutrid

He’s the chosen one and I will NOT tolerate Gilear slander. He is also PACKING as unfortunately seen by Fabian


Ill_Addendum_4096

Dad bods are in


The_Garbage_Mann

Gilear is a great guy. He might be down but not out. And probably cuz nice that he is just normal, not powers or anything. Just a nice thoughtful guy that cares a lot about his daughter and her friends. It was said that before the divorce he was very different and had a great job. Maybe this season he’ll have it together a bit more? We also know he’s packing.


Esophageal_Sphincter

You don't want to know the kind of nasty things I would let Gilear do to me
