#brief mutterings of the anatomy and culture of a made up alien species

[gemalia]

The delirium of post-midnight has set in. Once again, Freeza has consumed my thoughts, even as I stand in the twilight zone of my waking hours.

I've been thinking of his anatomy tonight. I've thought about it before, but because I am easily pleased by most headcanons, I have never been able to stick with anything concrete.

However, with the development of my own fanfic about him and Kuriza, I eventually reached the point where I have set versions of my own about his species now.

Like I have seen many people reiterate, I imagine the Arcosian to be a single-sexed species. There are probably different "races" within their kind as well, whether it be through varying colouration or bone structure. But most of them are dead. So. The only really relevant Arcosians with anatomy still intact to ponder upon are Freeza and Kuriza. Both of whom I do not imagine have many significant differences between their bodies, if any at all. This is because of my personal belief that Kuriza was born from asexual reproduction—a last resort of the species—while Freeza and Cooler were conceived in a more traditional manner.

I have digressed. What was I talking about again? It is officially morning.

The pressing question of Freeza's genitalia is not a major concern of mine, but I do not imagine he would have a penis or vagina like ours. I imagine he would simply have a cloaca that serves multiple functions, including for reproduction.

At some point in the development of their (very fractured) society, gender was probably constructed. Female, male, and everything in between and outside. To me, Freeza presents as male. Arcosians in my head universe existed mostly as multiple diasporas. There is no Arcosian monoculture to speak of. So gender presentation will vary between each group. But in the context of Freeza, who was "born into captivity from the seed of evil" on Abraxiya, which hosts a species that experiences sex and gender more like our society, it would make sense for him to present as one end of the binary.

I am retiring to bed. Tomorrow is karaoke with the strange and gay women where I intend to belt Bury the Light at the top of my lungs. I am the storm that is approaching.
