I’ve long wondered about that myself… Having servants who live with you feels like a weirdly aristocratic thing to me, and it kind of paints Brendan in a rather awkward light.

His official description on the cast page reads as followed:

“Brendan has relied on Gimel to help manage the Pinsky house’s affairs for years, and Sulla bestows nothing but affection on her tireless little companion. Gimel doesn’t have much to say about the house’s new guest, but attends to his needs as if he were family.”

don’t get me wrong, gimel is adorable here but it makes me think- if gimel is a servant does gimel PAID for his services? does he get days off like golems in discworld and mary poppins? has robotic rights affected him within the isolated bubble of brendan’s mansion?

if he’s a family member, its extremely worrying that being included in fun things is such a unique experience for him.
