kuraiennaej asked: If Gladstone wished to live for 1000 years or more, do you think his luck could actually prevent his natural death from happening by creating a new technology that would help him survive? Or also : if someone very dear to Glastone died, but Gladstone wanted this person back, could his luck make him discover/create a time machine so he could go back in time and save them?
see that’s a fun one to think about, if morbid, because I don’t think his luck makes him immortal at all- if it’s his time, it’s his time. His luck does what ‘is best for him’, and living forever would almost certainly not be the best thing, for anyone. As for the second question we already know the answer (if you consider the whole Della situation or my headcanon about his parents…), his luck is crazy powerful, but not all-powerful, and certainly not something he can boss around without it going badly for him; the times it backfires on him are often when he’s asked it to do something too big or morally questionable
