#Yes he is trans coded

[rubberduckyrye]

The intense desire to write up a whole essay about how Wanderer is coded to be the quintessential Abused Queer Kid experience is rising--

Seen quite a few people comment how they believe it's more likely the Dragodile Divorce happened due to ideological differences rather than because Dragon was too straight to stay with Crocodile, and. Like I did suggest that (or at least tried to) in my Crocodad Giga Thesis (really I should've been more clear about it in my essay so I wouldn't be writing this now lol), but like yes, Dragon and Crocodile absolutely have drastically different beliefs on How One Overthrows The World Government. And that absolutely could have contributed to the two separating and/or Crocodile deciding to go his own way instead of becoming a proper Revolutionary

Because like, as I tried to imply in the essay (but failed to deliver); if Crocodile's goal had always been to get Pluton so he could just nuke Marijoa off the face of the earth by himself and end it all in one go, then Crocodile and his way of thinking could work as this, like... contrasting opposite to how Dragon believes things should be done. Some fans (unfairly imo) call Dragon a "fraud" because over the past 20+ years he has only attacked Marijoa and the WG directly just once, and even when he did, instead of doing something to stop their corrupt reign for good... the Revs destroyed... the Tenryuubito's... food storage..? Like. Sure, that'll bother them for a little while, get their panties in a good twist etc, but in the end they're just going to demand more tributes and more free food. The Revolutionary Army may be successfully inspiring more people and more countries to rebel against the World Government's corrupt rule, but the Tenryuubito are still in power and will continue to be in power for a long time. And that's kind of how Crocodile would greatly complement Dragon within the narrative. Dragon being arguably "too soft" with his slow, methodical way of overthrowing the WG, while Crocodile would just kill them all without mercy, even if it meant hurting innocent people in the process. The two would act as the opposite sides of the same coin, the different extremes of the same spectrum. Crocodile would become like a response to the complaints people have against Dragon.

And yeah, the two having such wildly different ideological views could VERY EASILY contribute to a divorce, for sure.

My thing is that... If (and this is an if) Crocodile is meant to go a character arc and grow as a person, if we're meant to see him as a sympathetic character at all and maybe even feel bad for him... It'll be much harder to write that if the Dragodile Divorce happened only because of the two having ideological differences. Like who's going to feel bad for Crocodile if the two got divorced because Crocodile wanted to mass murder people and Dragon wasn't okay with it? That's not a tragedy, that's not a situation where we as the readers would feel for Crocodile and want to root for him. That's not something that would give a character unprocessed emotional trauma to heal from and overcome. He'd just be a villian who'd need to have his beliefs changed.

Where as, if The Divorce was caused by Dragon and Crocodile no longer being compatible due to Dragon being straight while Crocodile transed his gender... Even in the most respectful of scenarios that is a heartbreaking situation, a painful thing to go through. That is a tragedy without bad guys, a story where you could feel bad for Crocodile and want to root for him. That is a situation that would give him trauma to heal from.

And that's kind of why I so strongly believe in Crocodile's transition being a more important, contributing factor in The Divorce. Again, this does absolutely depend on what Crocodile's actual role in the story is going to be and whether or not he's even meant to go through a character arc at all. Like if he's not going to be that important and if he isn't meant to go through an arc then sure, Crocodile's transition doesn't have to matter one fucking bit. But if he is meant to go through an arc, if we are meant to feel bad for him and find outselves rooting for him eventually... From a writing perspective, that'll be far easier to do if we can find ourselves sympathizing with him even just a little bit.

Also like. Yes, you can have queer characters who are just queer for the sake of being queer, their queerness does not have to be an important aspect in them or a huge plotpoint in their story at all. Crocodile could be queer just for the sake of being queer. Because that's what it's like being queer, you just are what you are. At the same time, from a writing perspective. What would even be the point of making him queer if it didn't matter to his character at all and have an impact on his character?

Also while Crocodile and Dragon clearly have very different beliefs on how the WG should be dealt with right now, we don't really know when Crocodile came to his beliefs. Like for all we know Crocodile could've formed his worldview years after the divorce. Hell, based on the way he spoke to Vivi about her ideals, and how we know he spent over a decade in utter emotional solitude, his current worldview could have been partially born from resentment towards Dragon (and his ideals) that's been simmering away over the years.

All of this to say; yes I think the two's beliefs could have been a contributing factor in The Divorce, but from a writing perspective (and based on the direction I personally want to see the story go), I find it far more likely if Crocodile's transition was the main cause, one way or another.

Happy Honeymoon Era to the married couple this chapter, I hope nothing bad happens to them in further chapters of this fanfic

(Norm thinks they’re married) (Thaddeus doesn’t know and thinks they’re just dating) (Thaddeus just excited that he took this twink’s virginity)

[gizdathemxel]

HI CALLING IN TO SAY YOURE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, GA MING IS THE TRANSGENDER ALLEGORY EVER !! TO QUOTE A POST I ONCE SAW “if a guy is hated by his rich parents then he’s automatically gay” WHICH HOLDS TRUE IN EVERY SITUATION BUT THIS ONE IN SPECIFIC !!!! RATTLING HIM

(ALSO, XIAO AND ZHONGLI… THE DYNAMIC EVER FOR SURE)

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like . guy hated by rich parents is so gay coded but in some cases its just REALLY trans coded. i think in general its just queer vibes or maybe neurodivergent in a very very specific way .

but like. the way gaming is with his dad, especially their interactions towards the end. his dad saying "youre a good kid" . not son. kid. that reeks of a parent who still hasnt 'let go' of their kids assigned gender but is trying. the vibes. the energy. is just. its so.

Y’all ever see a fic where the author has written Vash as trans masc but Knives as cis? Cos it makes me-

They’re identical twins? They have the same DNA?

(Honestly a few times I’ve read a fic with them as AMAB and got confused because my stupid ass forgot)

I have the strong desire to reverse 1999 au danganronpa because maybe then I could get well written lesbians. If no else will do it I will do it myself I NEED AOI AND SAKURA TO THRIVE AS MY OG DOOMED YURI SHIP I SHIPPED THEM BEFORE I WAS INTO FANDOMS

I should calm down. Or should I??? 2.2 has me enraged and danganronpas fandom ignored yuri so I want to make everything more tragic so everyone shares my misery. (Why am I having a villain monologue rn? I am unwell) I AM IN PAIN. Physically and the only thing that could bring joy is making tragic yuri more tragic.

funniest part about taking so frustratingly long on this fuckass event and having that fuckass skeleton rotating in my brain long enough to start becoming probably lethal is how many extremely trivial things i'm having to pick and choose to share about him now. how much transfem egg coding can i slip in before people start to notice

[boyduvet]

Did i mention how much I adore all the machine life form things in this show you remember nanites on the enterprise and now the exocomps and obviously data and made bad memes about them when I first watched the episode I'll add a few after I see what the exocomps do they remind me of the skiing space robot in wallace and gromit I adore machine things I wish I was a machine thing as well.

EDIT, much respect and admiration for the Borg I love what they've got going on at least sometimes
