#Like... how does gender non-comformity fit into illyrian culture? my guess is poorly but I would be so interested in exploring it

I can't be the only person who thinks transmasc cassian is like Peak AU material, right? There's something here, and if there isn't I'm going down the rabbit hole anyway.

Cassian, who was abandonned in a strange camp with no one looking out for him. Cassian, who was always tall for his age. Cassian, that no one looked at close enough to notice that he wasn't like all the other little boys in the ring. Cassian, who didn't notice that the other little boys weren't like him until it was far too late and too dangerous to start playing at womanhood. Not that he'd ever want to.
