There are so many details I love about Moe, one of which being the Wrong Gender effect.

Where, Moe, when presenting as "female", sported very short hair. Never was much of a makeup guy, either. Its choice in fashion was highly feminine, but its face didn't really match that.

Then it cracks. Realizing, it's not a girl. It Feels distinctly masculine in identity, but doesn't quite get it "right" for A While. LIKE... esp focal is how Moe doesn't feel it fits perfectly into traditional notions of masculinity, either. So, what does it do? It grows out its hair. And since it had short-short hair pre-transition, and hasn't had Long Hair since it was a kid (the kid self, feeling devoid of gender until it was suddenly Forced upon it)... it feels dysphoric, if its hair is too short. It feels more masculine, when its hair is long.

It's. About the gender non-conformity. About the mishmash. About how admittedly arbitrary things deemed "masculine" or "feminine" are just cobbled together in Moe. Not haphazardly, though. Even on a subconscious level... I think it was always very intentional.

#moe tag #moe lore #ALSO special shoutouts to burnout moe most closely resembling its kid self. moe is v much about coming full circle too.#ALSO ALSO something something alfonse is a 'normal' guy. who has some odd things that stand out about him #but he's So Normal. So Put Together. you may just write it off.#LIKE..... when moe says 'i'm you but worse'. what it means to say is i've been through everything you seem be going through #at least adjacently. and it hurt me. really badly. nearly broke me. and now i'm out on the other end of it #i'm much better for it. but my hope is that you don't have to hurt as badly as i did during the process #and that you aren't left with too many aching pains and scars afterward.
