Gargoyles (Cartoon)
Medium: Cartoon
Approximate Length: 3 seasons with 78 20-minute episodes. My pairing only appears together in a few episodes, however: S2E4 "A Lighthouse in the Sea of Time"; S2E10 "City of Stone, Part 2"; and S3E6 "The Dying of the Light".
Where to (Legally) Find It: Disney+, possibly other streaming sites depending on your location!
Brief Description: A cartoon from 1994 about a group of gargoyles who were cursed into endless sleep a thousand years ago and reawakened in 90s New York, and their relationships with a city they decide to protect and the humans who help and/or hunt them (some humans do both!).
What You Love About the Canon: It's one of my most beloved childhood shows that still (mostly) stands up as an adult. I love the way the show doesn't shy away from heavy themes and complicated characters and relationships, the epic and timeless nature of the gargoyles' fight to survive and find purpose in this new world blended with that nostalgic 90s aesthetic, and the mythological/poetic/literary roots of many of its plotlines. Plus, that iconic intro!
What You Love About Your Ship(s): Hudson is the oldest of the gargoyles, a gruff old warrior past his prime who was once his clan's leader but has passed the torch and now serves as an advisor to Goliath. Jeffrey Robbins is a human, a veteran soldier who was blinded by shrapnel 20 years ago and now writes mythological novels. They develop a friendship when Robbins finds Hudson hurt and takes him home and helps him recover, teaches him that there's nothing shameful about asking for help, and later on helps him when Hudson starts to go blind as well (and protects him when he's attacked while he's vulnerable!) Just two wise old warriors past their prime and a little bit lonely, finding companionship and common ground and fulfillment together, and I think they should kiss.
Kinds of Things You're Planning to Ask For: I'd really love anything for this pairing because there is literally no fic out there and I think that's such a shame. Robbins teaching Hudson to read, or just reading to him, and stories being an important part of their relationship. Hudson taking Robbins flying and describing the world as he sees it from above. Sitting by the fire together or walking by the sea with their dogs. Robbins being drawn into another one of the gargoyles' adventures and getting to know the rest of the gang. Old guy smut, slow and tender as they learn how two such different species can come together by feel, or hot and heavy as they're both still vigorous and tough in their old age and maybe Robbins is super into rough monsterfucking. A magical spell that temporarily restores Robbins' vision and he can see Hudson for the first time. KISSING. All the kissing!
Content Notes: For these specific episodes: cartoon violence, discussion of war, injuries, disabilities (specifically blindness), probably some dated 90s attitudes although I'm not remembering anything specifically right now.
