#Chloe is more fem than she is in my opinion

[chloepleasestopdying]

i keep thinking about your post when you brought up butch max and im gonna need you to elaborate some more because i can't get it out of my head now

Ok so like, I don’t think Max is/ever will be actually butch because Max doesn’t really put in any effort to be butch. It’s brought up by Chloe that Max doesn’t have a style and that’s kinda half true— she has a style but her style puts comfort above actual ‘style.’ Converse, jeans and a light jacket is a style, even if it’s a rather plain look. In my mind Max in LiS is honestly rather androgynous. She’s not trying to be fem or masc or whatever, she’s just wearing what’s in her closet. The less fuss the better.

When I say that I want Butch Max I guess I want Max caring even less than she does in LiS. She clearly has some anxiety over how she is perceived by others, see how she thinks about Victoria’s image, and I think a more ‘mature’ Max would leave that anxiety behind.

To me Max feels like the type of woman that owns like two dresses that her mom bought her to wear that she dreads putting on in formal situations then when she’s in her twenties she realizes that she doesn’t have to actually wear dresses or skirts and then proceeds to never do so again.

I guess I like that better than ‘Max wears a dress/skirt to feel sexy’ because that just doesn’t feel in character to me. Max isn’t girly or fem and she’s allowed to keep that when she’s an older adult! I like the idea that Max only wears jeans or doesn’t let her hair grow out or she owns two pairs of shoes!

I personally think the idea of her wearing a pair of slacks with, I don’t know, a nice button up or a vest could be more attractive and in character than her in a skirt or dress.
