I made two versions of this animatic in December 2021, one with TeuTemp and one without! For clarification: Joan = Knights Hospitaller Gabriel = Knights Templar The audio is from "Lake Eclipse" from Disney's Owl House! Enjoy!
oh my god I LOVE this?!?!?!?!? Gilbert trying to revive KT reminds me a lot of the popular headcanon about him doing some fucked up frankenstein shit to revive HRE/Germany, so in my head perhaps he failed to save Gabriel (RIP) but ended up funneling all of the pent up sadness and rage from his first failure into making sure his second attempt at revival was successful...
Ohh, that sounds really interesting how you put it! It would make a lot of sense if it was like this and it would also deepen the whole story around "reviving" HRE/Germany from Gilbert's perspective!
I also think its pretty interesting from the perspective of Gilbert being a holy knight; there's something to the inversion of the Catholic practice of burying relics (their bones and hearts and shit) of saints beneath altars, and the subsequent inversion of the idea of "eternal life" after death, because Gilbert and Joan and Gabriel already HAD conditional eternal life without having to go to heaven for it... anyway I really like this video and the ideas it presents I think I will be thinking about it for a while LMAO
I actually wanted to low key refer to this Catholic practice by making Gilbert search for relics but the way you described it pretty much sums up my vague idea on point xD I like the way you thought even further with the comparison regarding the eternal life! That's really cool! Thanks a lot for your comments!!
