  • Warning: light spoilers for Dimension 20 Live
    During the Dimension 20 Live Fireside Chat, we got an important question: "When did you realize Gilear would be integral to the story?" And so Brennan revealed how Gilear got to be so...Gilear.

    Senior year: Gilear is the mayor of Elmville, on one hand he's got the highest paid position in all of spire but he still cant afford ramen because he was tricked into signing a bill that stated that he's not allowed to spend his own money without approval from the city congress, and they refuse to talk about the approval process with him because they're busy with actual legislation meaning that he has millions of gold pieces in a vault that he simply cant access, so he has to resort to either begging for food from fig, which is hard because she's either at school or on tour, or he has to rely on going to the mall and attempting to search in the furniture store couches for spare change so he can afford to buy things.

      Claire Wright The current woman who claims to love him forced him to sleep in a cot in the garage until he can “prove himself worthy” of her, the son of that woman was desperately trying to kill him for a while, his car got repossesses by fantasy Uber, he somehow got forcibly wrapped around the axle of the hang-van and at some point had ants crawling all over him, and no one noticed he was missing until much later. He has died three times, and one of those times was by the pure force of nature his current paramour was married to.
      Also, I think the biggest nightmare for Galear would be a normal day where everything went suspiciously well, like, everything goes just as he hopes, leaving him in a state of constant anxiety waiting for something to go wrong, for the other show to drop, and it gets to the point where he is obsessing over all the bad things that could happen that he can’t even enjoy what is happening.

    I think that if Gilear did not immediately die of a physical hazard, he would have been the most effective in the nightmare forest. He's already at rock bottom, what can they show him that would break him more? and becoming increasingly afraid so as to progress through the forest would be second nature to him as he is more frequently anxious or frightened than nearly any of the bad kids. He could walk through his nightmares with comparative ease and come out the other side with little to no difference.

To this day, even though the kids love him, he has never felt good about himself, and doesn’t allow himself a simple luxury in life. He has no pride because he knows he has done wrong, and it haunts him to this day.

    I think one of the reasons Gilear is such a big deal for fans, other than just being funny, is that he has these moments like going into hell with Fig or wearing the Pride Armor where we get to see a normal person be “good enough”. Like yes he fumbles the bag a lot but in this magical world as an audience member it is nice to see someone with no super human powers still making a difference in a human way through his relationships with these kids. Like Gilear’s power lies in how much people care for him and the comfort he brings people and there is something so real about that.

    I have watched this several times now over the course of some weeks/couple of months, and I anticipate doing so several to many more times in the future.

    Just a personal thought for Gil's nightmare have it play as a day in his life and he just rolls with it cause he lives it everyday so he's just numb to it until he catches a reflective surface and just sees a middle aged Fig staring back at him and that crushes him with psychic damage.

    That's how Gilear is the chosen one. The nightmare king would be unable to create a nightmare worse than his life and would be trapped in his unconscious mind stuck trying to terrify him and endlessly failing.

    I loved how he was able to wear the Pride armor though. Sometimes, the greatest strength is to know your weaknesses and his was having no pride.

    It's super weird trying to introduce friends to fantasy high and being like "You see that pathetic excuse for an elf? That's the best character."
