should i leave it up to the masses if bruno is a closet trans woman at this point cause like i genuinely dont know for myself anymore
#liiiike the reason i am holding back is mainly because im worried it would have transmisogynistic implications#since bruno's large size and power (esp with dusk) is constantly emphasized. and its supernatural stuff vs ''hes like that bc hes amab''#like. castor is there as an afab character in the exact same spot so i dont think it comes across as bioessentialist.#but theres also how he has a more masc name and he would never actually come out as a woman in the narrative#its more. ''what if bruno had a happy ending'' au material. does that make sense#castor succeeds where bruno didnt. he escaped. he actually took agency rather than pretending he had it all and doing nothing with it#and him coming out as trans is a big part of that bc he accepted something about himself and moved forwards. where bruno never could#because bruno forced herself into a box and just wallowed in the shame of what she'd done#and i REALLY like the conclusion that if bruno had just taken real initiative and forged her own path then she'd have been truly happy#and idk maybe i have enough happy trans women characters to make up for this one? but idk. i dont want it to come across as meanspirited#bruno's story is a tragedy but i dont want it to be meanspirited. especially since im not transfem myself and i know transfem rep#thats actually good is hard to come by#not that i dont think queer ppl can have tragic stories too. but idk#echoed voice
