"first meet - Seymour"
The Guado are very sensitive to changes in nature and the energy living things give off. It's something that is essential to their roles as both the Guardians of Spira and Guardians of the Farplane. One has to remain sensitive and vigilant to the differences, lest a wandering soul become Unsent.
However, Seymour does not have Spira's best interest at heart and has used his abilities as a Guado to get away with the cruel things he plans and executes in the shadows. So when the opportunity to sabotage a group of Guardians, and their naïve Summoner (whom poses a threat to his reign), is handed to him on a silver platter, he takes it.
Especially since this group of Guardians not only has an Al Bhed and an Unsent amongst them, but one of Sin's Children as well. The best part it about this circumstance it: none of them are aware of the monster hiding behind a human disguise.

People in Tudor history circles on Instagram and TikTok need to realise that insisting that “Anne Boleyn’s judicial murder at the hands of her husband was worth it because her daughter became one of the most famous monarchs of all time and that mocking the death of another woman who was also emotionally abused by h8 and the death of her fifteen year old child is justified because they were what h8 wanted and therefore their deaths are karma for him” is not the feminist girlboss slay moment they think it is.

we dont actually know where linda and gayle grew up we just know that it was NOT seymour's bay and that its likely an hour or two drive away from where they currently live (I like to think that gayle moved to seymour's bay after linda did because she wanted to be like her big sister lmao)
their hometown is specifically called Hunkawtaway which is apparently a play on native american appropriated town names in the midwest so I think she most likely didn't grow up in new jersery but still somewhere in that general area of america (like connecticut or massachusetts)
for bob I would say he grew up in the area surrounding seymour's bay but not actually IN seymour's bay because its a small-ish town and we don't ever see big bob's diner around. I would say they live maybe a 30 to 45 minute drive away from big bob (who still lives where bob grew up) so still definitely in new jersery but maybe somewhere closer to the bog habour area??
we know they both didn't grow up in seymour's bay as they never went to wagstaff or huxley high school (but it seems like at one point they were maybe considering that bob and linda went to the same high school, because the original subplot for linda's high school reunion episode was going to be someone from BOBS high school who had a crush on him was trying to flirt with him at their reunion. this got changed when they realized that bob and linda obviously didnt go to the same high school growing up) but I think bob definitely lived closer to their current location that linda did. they most likely moved to seymour's bay when they saw a resturant location in the area renting for very cheap and previously lived closer to bog harbour
(and we know that teddy has a long family history specifically in seymour's bay)

“There was a moment when we were shooting—I want to say this, not to embarrass Meryl, but you know they were in [the nun’s habits], and I remember I had to leave. I had some off-camera stuff, something like that, and as actors you always check in, ‘cause you wanna make sure that if you’re gonna leave, that everything’s cool. And I remember opening the door, Meryl was in the room, and she had [the habit] off, and I remember she turned around and looked at me and I thought, ‘What a pretty woman.’ And I actually said it! Remember? ‘Cause I’d seen her in this thing for days and days and days and it just came out of my mouth because the difference [with the costume] was so shocking. You know what I mean? It’s true.”

My cosplay/Halloween costume of Seymour was the first and only so far male clothing I've owned and I'm pretty sure my mom got rid of it for that reason considering that I couldn't find it anywhere
For that and other reasons I get viscerally embarrassed about the fact that I used to have him as a transition goal to the point that it affects my viewing experience/experience while writing for him, and the fact that I relate to him a lot doesn't help
Y'all are right Orin makes way more sense for a... gender envy blorbo? There should be a term like blorbo for a character you get gender envy towards. I propose 'dently' as like a riff on 'skrunkly.' Anyway

putting a tw here for racism, just in case anyone wants to give this headcanon a miss. this is a semi-part two to this headcanon.
I don't think the Guado intended for Home to be completely destroyed nor as many of the Al Bhed to be killed as they did, they were just there for Yuna to get her to Bevelle. While Seymour certainly gave the order to attack Home, I reckon a lot of them figured it would go the same way releasing the fiends into the Blitzball stadium at Luca. Scare the Al Bhed a bit, threaten them with the release of a lot of fiends, get them to give up Yuna, and then take Yuna to Bevelle without too much damage. But the Al Bhed didn't give up Yuna that easily and the Guado's hand was forced.
I'm 50/50 on whether or not this might've been a turning point for some of the Guado or if they just didn't care about the Al Bhed. It's obviously horrible to anyone with half a conscious that the Guado shattered a lot of lives, murdered a whole lot more, and pretty much forced the Al Bhed to blow up one of the only places they can call Home. But on the other hand, racism against the Al Bhed is still prevalent in Spira at this point, and there's nothing to suggest that the Guado weren't also racist towards the Al Bhed as much as the rest of Spira were.
Combined with the fact that the Guado weren't exactly very open with regular Spirans, having looked down on them for years, nearly causing a civil war because of Jyscal's marriage to Anna & Seymour's birth, there's not much stopping them from being racist against the Al Bhed too. It sucks to say, but there probably were more than a few Guado that thought they were doing Spira a favour by killing a few Al Bhed if we go with this line of thought. If they bought into Yevon's lies about the Al Bhed being the cause of Sin and everything, all the more reason to not care how many of the Al Bhed they kill. There probably were some Guado that were unsettled by what had happened in Home, not fully anticipating the extent of the damage that their assault would cause, and those that didn't care if the Al Bhed lived or died.
Yet, it was the slaughter of the Ronso that made their blind devotion, hope, faith, whatever you want to call it, in Seymour shatter. If the assault on Home and forcing Yuna to marry Seymour made them feel unsettled, this was the straw that broke the Chocobo's back so to speak. Now it's not just one race, it's two races, that they've just massacred. Regardless of their feelings towards the Al Bhed, they've not only got their blood on their hands, but now the Ronso. I think it was this point that they realised just how far from grace Seymour had fallen and how his descent into madness was dragging the rest of the Guado down with him.
Trying to cover up the fact that Seymour had murdered Jyscal and destroying his sphere, trying to get rid of Yuna & Co after they murdered Seymour, helping to release the fiends into Luca Stadium, attacking Home, it all came crashing down on them (Tromell especially) exactly what they'd done. Hindsight is a funny thing and I reckon when a lot of them looked back at everything they'd aided Seymour with, they realised what they'd done. What probably hammered the final nail into the coffin was Seymour being branded a traitor. I'm not sure when this canonically happens (after ffx perhaps? after Yuna's big speech?), regardless of when it does, Seymour being branded a traitor is what truly drives the Guado to realise what their blind devoution has done to Spira.

Catherine Parr is reasonably in favour with him, having been appointed regent while the king was in France, but widely suspected of religious radical sympathies in objecting to church use of elitist Latin: the movie imagines a friendship between Catherine and the Protestant heretic preacher and firebrand Anne Askew (Erin Doherty) and is she thus hated by the reactionary bishop Stephen Gardiner (Simon Russell Beale), who would love to burn her at the stake.
Meanwhile, the Seymour family, connected with the king’s surviving male heir, Edward, son of the late Jane Seymour and destined to die as Edward VI at just 15 years old, are coolly circling and Thomas and Edward Seymour (Sam Riley and Eddie Marsan) are smugly aware of their own privilege. But just as Catherine’s star begins to wane, she gets pregnant – a wildly thrilled Henry declares it is probably a boy. But will she survive?
