Random CaDi: crown princess Anomallow of Verant is transmasculine and nonbinary. They're not out to anyone but their best friend and closest ally Radriar, who is played by one of my players. Anomallow has only ever given one command using their authority as a royal: an order for Radriar to survive at any cost

#CaDi #Anomallow #theres a lot of intertwining themes with them of change; gender; and loss of power #their giving up a princess to survive and help people; and their giving up being a cis woman to transition; the loss of social status and-#-resulting power that come with both of what they gave up; is a kinda symbol in the story of the themes of powet and change #power and change being two of the main themes of CaDi #in a way they dip into the third and main theme as well of love/grief; via how transitioning is viewed within the setting due to the love-#-gods influence. trans people are valued by the god of love; and so transitioning is a divine act. but as the princess of a country that-#-doesn't primarily worship the god of love; transitioning wasn't an option. it's viewed as divine; yes; but the Wrong kind of divine #which does reflect a lot o how trans people are treated irl. frequently through the lens of the Wrong kind of man or the Wrong kind of woman #changing involves stages between that even people open to the end result tend to dislike. there'll always be someone who pushes for-#-stagnancy and stasis. but nothing can stay the same forever; and change is an inherent part of being a living being #the god of love is a shapeshifter who only has trans or nonbinary clerics. the god of history is trans. the gods of time are trans-ish #the god of divinity is agender and once was something else entirely; no matter how it seeks to deny that it could have changed #and the mortals? the people at the core of this story? ever-changing; no matter what outside forces may pressure them to be static #some transition. some grow up. some become gods. some die. some live forever. some escape. some gain disabilities. they ALL change #the only ones who don't change are the dead ones. stasis is a form of death and death is a form is stasis; a loop of nothing and everything #the attempt to enforce stasis is a functional killing. a world that cannot change is a preserved fossil; the skeleton of what once was
