hakita talking about gabriel and how gender/pronouns work for angels, transcript below

hakita: so, uh, when we did the act 1 intermission, one of the things i wanted to do was have it so that gabe is never specifically referred to by gendered pronouns. they always say, like, "this one" and whatever like that. cause i was like you know, angels dont need to be male or female because they dont reproduce biologically or whatever. they didnt have need to grow, like, gender roles or anything like that. and....but then, um, sort of as we were writing this (ferrymans journal) i think i was like "okay, we have a problem". basically all biblical language is masculine. you always have "he" this, "he" that, "he" that. so if you want to write biblical-sounding dialogue, you need to use "he". which is why we did the "he is the light in my darkness" bit. hakita: and then i was like "okay well, fuck, uhh, how does this work out now that we have, like, this situation", then i figured oh! have fucking master stroke and it was like, so, the idea that i ended up coming up with is that essentially, uh, angels dont have gendered pronouns or whatever by default. but as a sign of, like, sort of status, they use, like, once an angel is high enough in status they start using, like, masculine pronouns for them, because that's like, god is referred to with masculine pronouns. so being referred to with masculine pronouns then makes them sort of closer to god's status, in a way. so, i managed to end up making it work out, luckily, into an interesting twist on how pronouns are used in our language. heckteck: that is very cool.
