there’s something so bittersweet about hearing tmagp!gerry. the way he chats with sam and celia, how he pursues his artistic passion, how he immediately introduces himself as gerry. he’s so open, so unguarded, so eager to make friends. he seems genuinely… happy. there’s a lot we don’t yet know about his life in this universe, but even from this one scene it’s clear how different he is from the gerry we know, who spent his short life either under his abusive mother’s thumb or trying to prevent an apocalypse. it’s like getting a glimpse into the life tma!gerry could have lived, but never got the chance to.
