#and army insisting on 'escorting' skull if she's presenting more femme

[skullvins]

Please expand on the swim goggles thing

k lemme bullet point my way through this because it's an amalgamation of many hcs in one:

skull coroika is a little he/she bigender fucking legend and also besties with aloha. those two hang out n do funky transgender shit together and are generally the chaos pair of the S4. aloha invites all of the S4 to his parties these days but it's not really mask or army's scene, but skull can enjoy music + some socialisation + hanging out with his friend + free food + maybe some light drinking if you hc them as old enough to do so, which I do at this point in the manga

this means it's somewhat common for skull to use parties like this as an excuse to dress up MUCH more femme than usual/generally as an excuse to be more gnc. he'll wear his hair down or tie it up differently and possibly not wear his bandana/wear something else instead (I hc he also likes to hide behind hats sometimes) and throw a skirt on and just go have a good time

this means sometimes not only does he get mistaken for a girl sometimes, but sometimes people don't recognise that he's skull s4

it's canon that swim goggles goes to aloha's parties. we know swim knows avi too, and may have heard about skull through avi/in passing/seen him through social media/news (cos like. the S4 are canonically at least somewhat famous/well known) but has probably never met the guy in person

swim also thinks he's straight

fast forward to one of these parties, I can see swim approaching the tall purple inkling girl he's never met before and chatting her up a bit. I do think skull would play along with these flirtations a little bit, but only because it amuses him and he has a tendency to give kinda blunt, not very flirty answers (#AroLegend). this lowkey backfires tho because I weirdly think swim would find that cute?

"so, what's a cute gal like you do to pass the time?" "I snipe people... Accurately."

"maybe you could show me around your charger sometime haha" "oh, you couldn't handle what I do."

anyway, it's like two or three parties of these two bumping into each other and chatting for a bit before swim goes and talks to like aloha or diver (I think he'd be on good terms with both, but I think this is funnier with diver tbh) and he asks like hey. do you know who the tall purple girl is? .///.

and then aloha/diver is like. thats. That's skull S4 she's just gender as fuck. welcome to the bi gang lol

this is Surprising (and sexuality wise, confusing) to swim but I THEN hc he starts finding out more about skull on the turf side of things (follows his socials maybe, watches him in some tourneys, generally becomes a bit invested in purple team as like a fan) and finds himself still interested in skull even when she's more masc presenting in turf

they chat a bit more at parties, maybe a little bit after turf games, swim asks skull on a casual date but she turns him down (nicely), explains she doesn't really do traditional dating and they probably wouldn't work well like that, but she'd like to be friends and it all works out. they meet up at parties and they're happy to see each other and swim starts copying aloha and flirting with some of the guys at those parties too

anyway tl;dr silly bigender gnc shenanigans causes skull to accidentally be swim's bisexual awakening and it's incredibly hilarious, more at six
