I like all gender interpretations of lake, but I think the reason I like nonbinary interpretations more is when comparing them to tulip both character wise and gender presentation wise.

When looking at tulip and lake side by side, they're not complete opposites. Both are very proud, headstrong, and determined people. Even when lake calls out tulip for not asking for help in the mirror car, they sorta do the same thing in the beginning of book 2 with Jesse by not telling him they were being tracked down.

And looking at a gender standpoint, while lake is more blatantly masculine, tulip isn't exactly feminine either. Her signature look is a baggy hoodie with a simple ponytail to keep her hair out of the way for doing tasks, and she likes hobbies that are more "boyish" by societal standards like video game programming and helping her dad fix go carts. While lake said they didn't have much in common than tulip anymore, they still weren't exactly polar opposites.

So going back to lake: given that both tulip and lake aren't extremely different both with gender presentation and personality, why wouldn't lake be okay reflecting tulip? Why not be happy being a masculine girl?

Because they ARENT tulip! In the same way a lot of trans and nonbinary ppl wouldn't feel happy or comfortable just being a gnc cis person their whole lives, lake wouldnt feel happy staying as tulip (or their assigned gender extending the metaphor) because it would only be a half truth.

Lake wants to be their own person, and even if there are similarities with them and tulip it doesn't mean they're one in the same and that lake should just stay tulip the rest of their life because they wouldn't be living!

I lost my shit when Lake said “Uff da”–I’d never heard Minnesotan slang in shows before Infinity Train, so the little references and bits of Minnesota culture warm my becoldened heart.

I love that the fandom has come to associate Jesse with loving vampires. We have like, one picture of him and his brother dressed as vampires for Halloween, and he frequently names animals Dracula. Thats it.

Yet we have collectively decided he knows ALL the vampire lore
