i shrunk down my root partition (ext4) using cfdisk, becuase the gparted iso didnt want to boot for some reason, cdisk resized the partition but the superblock still thinks that the partition wasnt resized - is there any chance of telling the superblock that it was resized? the 100gb of free space is now used by gentoo

Sorry to tell you, but I think your file system is tot.
Cfdisk only changed the partition table, not the file system.
The ext4 superblock is not related to partitioning. The size you see there is the file system size, which is one level below the partition.
the 100gb of free space is now used by gentoo
Some of the files occupying this space are highly likely to be corrupted.

you need to use resize2fs to resize filesystem first before resizing the partition
in which you didnt
you should put the partition back into its original size and run fsck just hope that nothing was too corrupted
