#BUT this is like a hc ive been thinkin abt for a while. the guy just loves to read!

SF is incredibly well-read. given that he's had a LOT of free time over the course of 15 years, he's had plenty of opportunity to read many different novels, particularly a lot of literary classics. while he definitely hasn't read everything, there's definitely a good chance that if you mention / quote something, he'll recognize it.

thinkin on my walk about how easy it is to make a case for trans woman seiji if u take the hoodie outfits as dysphoria fits and the [everything ive said abt his Carries Himself Like Hes Short when hes not demeanor] and of course the. dressing like a woman and changing his voice to be like a womans. textually.

weighing in my mind would i like trans fem seiji more than i like trans masc seiji..................... idk trans exorcists are so kjsdf generally uninteresting to me. as a guy who only does canon-compliant trans hcs bc i like the logistical challenge. they already have so much and such specific stuff going on it rarely adds anything except the eye eater's ability to make deals for SRS. the youkai-seeing is already an allegory for them both being autistic and gay adding a third thing in there is just gilding the lily.

and also. i say they cause theyre a package deal lol. they have to start at the same place and end at the same place at relatively the same time, if not the same pace. just by nature of their narrative deal. so trans masc exorcists is already stretching believability w a teen natori whose family wishes he were dead but also let him socially transition. but trans fem...?

so spent my walk thinkin about a teen seiji who AGAIN knows himself much earlier than natori does. and AGAIN. meets this awkward insecure defensive kid and immediately clocks him for [whatever] because he's seeing self in the other. sees this guy w his ill-fitting attention-deflecting clothes and his hair long in his face and goes hm. but leaves him largely to his own devices about it while making the occasional cryptic comment and spending his own time raiding shinobu's now-up-for-grabs closet and doodling cool goth ladies in his notes.

dont know how it would shake out as adults but i do like the thought of. natori comes out in some capacity and matobas like so i was right after all, haha, congrats. and natori oblivious this whole time is like. WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNNNNN youre also a woman. [i couldve been less confused for the last 6+ years if i knew someone else felt this way!!!!/why cant i ever do anything that doesnt involve you 😭😭] [most angry and confused and happy he's ever been in his life]
