Talk to me about the gay Christian robots

apologies in advance bc you don't know much abt ultk but i think if i don't talk abt them i will Combust

i know i'm one of like the only people who Genuinely ships them but there is just *shakes fist* smth abt their interactions/what is said about both of them that just makes me So fucking feral

like first of all... this fucking shit

people make fun of the way the ferryman talks abt gabe all the time and i understand why but to me there's genuinely something really sweet here. like how poorly must heaven have treated the ferrymen that this one singular act of kindness from heaven's brightest angel caused them to put up pictures and statues of him and have A MASSIVE HOLO GABE IN THEIR OWN SHIP repeating his words of salvation to them over and over and over for the rest of time? not to mention the fact that the ferryman's theme is literally called "he is the light in my darkness", wherein none of the other songs off the OST are named after direct quotes ingame

very poorly, in fact, as gabe is described as "the only one who cares about [the ferrymen's] efforts" despite their intense devotion to beings that refuse to grant them solace (something gabe can surely relate to, even if he wasn't entirely aware of it yet). contrary to how he's normally portrayed, it's often implied that gabe actually does have the capacity to be kind (with even the terminals admitting that gabriel is favored to the council by other angels in heaven, in part due to his "radiant personality"), he's just not typically inclined to do so because of his devotion to god and, more importantly, his subordination to the council

BUT even then, he still actively goes against their wishes because of the ferrymen. gabe is the judge of hell, has been for however many hundreds to thousands of years. he's the only supreme angel around and, considering he saved the ferryman's life in the first place (when he very well could have just left them to rot considering they are not the only ferryman around), even before V1's arrival he didn't refrain himself to staying in gluttony all the time. he KNOWS that the idols exist. he likely knows that the council wouldn't approve of their existence. and yet he says nothing, considering they still exist at all when V1 comes around. and considering gabe basically did whatever the council asked of him and undoubtedly knew their policies, that has to mean a great deal.

logically, their relationship would be somewhat imbalanced bc of the way the ferryman basically worships gabriel. but in a world so cruel, where love unrestrained is punished and worthy of being sentenced to suffering? to love at all, even in worship, is worth something, i feel
