#i dont mean the characters gender btw i mean the gender that IS the mask. mask gender.

[deathlonging]

the gender of the masked character in fiction is something that can be sooo personal

[nyan-tame]

WAKE UP ITS 4 AM IT'S TIME 4 II ACT 3 THEORIES

AND HEADCANONS (with angst)

Im 100% willing 2 bet that these will NOT b real take these theories, predictions, and headcanons with a grain of salt 😭😭😭

ANYWAY

TRIGGER WARNING 4 MENTION OF EATING DISORDERS AND GENDER DYSPHORIA

(ITS ALL IN THE PARAGRAPHS ABT MEPHONE BTW SO U CAN SKIP THAT BUT THERES STILL ANGST)

♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆

mephone will join the shimmers/mephone was masking their shimmer half for years

The shimmers will continue 2 search 4 their lost young and realize that mephone is the 2nd lost shimmer (as revealed last episode) upon realizing this they will get emotional and also apologize 4 what he's been through (even if it's not actually their fault they just really feel bad 4 their child) and take them in to give them the childhood they deserved. This theory ties in with some headcanons i also have.... So cobs says in a flashback (episode 13, i think) that he has no need 2 eat cause he's a machine, right? Well, not exactly, just something along those lines. That's not the case. They're half organic because they are half shimmer. They actually do need 2 eat, but cobs has literally been starving them constantly, thinking that being mostly machine means they'll never be hungry. This is part of the reason mephone thinks they're a "fat slob" and even jokes abt it 2 himself around others but thats just not the case, they quite literally are just fucking hungry. Yes, i think mephone might have an eating disorder. Speaking of shimmers, you know how the other baby shimmer, the green one, was nonbinary implying that the shimmers are a naturally genderless species? I think mephone may also be nonbinary. My evidence? Paintbrush. I think Paintbrush was made as genderless the way they were in season one because cobs thought mephone being nonbinary was like stupid and wrong or something. Mephone projects their grief into humor as their main coping mechanism. Thus, Paintbrush's gender was seen as nothing but a joke 4 a really long time similarly 2 how tissues suffering all the time is seen as a joke and gets no help by his peers which may represent how mephone never got help woth anything even when they really needed it. Paintbrush eventually coming out made mephone feel much safer, something they dont usually feel.. but not safe enough.

The contestants who died by mephone x will get recovered but they won't be completely intact

I highly doubt that everyone is going 2 die permanently. That is not in the nature of inanimate insanity. However, the show LOVESSS 2 make its fandom miserable, so these fellas will not get removed from melife without consequences. The Xed contestants may experience memory problems or will go into a full reset. To make things sadder, I feel like their brains would subconsciously remember the people they had good relationships with even though they themselves don't actually know they've met before. In other words, if anyone sees anyone they had good relations with in a past life, they will subconsciously feel comforted by their presence. Though if these fella do have all their memories intact someone like lightbulb or cheesy will trick a buddy of their into thinking they forgot everything 2 make their friends panic a little just 2 go finger guns at them like "haha got ya" making the audience freak out 4 a moment 2. Who knows, maybe our cast brought someone back wrong, and they did forget everything...

Cobs will DEFINITELY DIE

A while ago on youtube, i think either Brian or Justin made a community tab poll on how many characters would die, 2 being the most popular vote. Literally Mephone wont have a happy ending if that mother fucker doesn't die. I also think the shimmers might kill him last second. But wait! There's another character who is supposed 2 die! I think that's bow, "but Nyan bow is already dead!!" Is what u might b thinking.. and ur PROBABLY RIGHT!!! i accidentally got spoilers 4 only ONE of the permanent deaths (DONT WORRY, NO SPOILERS, YOU JUST GET A LITTLE NUDGE, THE DEATH SPOILER WAS A CONTESTANT) If im still dead set on the fact that cobs will die, it can't be 2 contestants.. at least in my head. Bow, being a ghost and already dead, knows what it's like being dead and won't mind sacrificing herself 4 her friends. Now she can go on 2 the next stage of her afterlife!

ANYWAYSSS THATS ALL BYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYE!!!

TOP 5 CHARAS AND 5 REASONS WHY YOU LIKE THEM GO GO GO

AHHHH OKAY OKAY. I LITERALLY LIT UP WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY INBOX YOU HAVE NOOOO IDEA THANK YOU SO MUCH ah okay. i hope its ok if i leave it to just one or two of my fav things about them though cause NFHBGDF I DONT WANT THIS TO BE MILES LONG i hope you understand!!!!!

1. LIGHT YAGAMI

now. i dont think anybodys surprised. MFKSKFMFMHNGJN honestly, though i dont care about death note much at all anymore, hes like gum stuck to my shoe and i just cannot get him off no matter what i do. i tell myself that i dont give a fuck about anything in death note until i see him on my dash and i go apeshit. hes completely changed me and how i approach analyzing complex characters. i think hes the first character that ive ever actually cared about in that sense? the sense where i look into every detail about him i mean. its really just so fun...

my absolute favorite thing about him... i really love how funny he is. this isnt to say hes a humorous guy im saying hes funny as in he makes such stupid decisions and its hilarious to see him struggle so hard constantly. the entire ending of death note is fucking insane it sends me into laughing fits every time. theres so many funny moments in death note despite it being considered a psychological horror animanga because of him being a genuine fucking idiot 24/7. hes supposed to be a genius but he truly does lack so much self awareness sometimes.

if you wanna know more of my thoughts in depth, i have an analysis of him here that you can check out :) ID LOVE FEEDBACK ON IT so if you disagree with me or have questions etc feel free to shoot an ask and ill try to answer!!!!!

2. GORO AKECHI

god... hes perfect. he and light are on the same level of favoritism for me, dont let the numbers fool you. hes hands down my absolute favorite in persona 5 and it blows my mind knowing that the majority of the fandom feels the exact opposite or are torn over him ITS ALMOST FRUSTRATING because its mostly due to the amount of misinformation/mischaracterization spread about him!!!! but no he just happens to be the best written character in that piece of shit of a game! MFDKDHNGJJ AND PERSONA FANS CANT COMPREHEND GOOD WRITING

my favorite thing about him.. i love how hes written. and i know this sounds really basic and predictable, but its the truth i just really love his growth as a character, especially in royals third semester when he gets a chance to properly shine and oh my god! did he shine! hes literally so perfect in 3rd sem

theres just something so captivating about an angry teenager who truly thinks of his life as worthless and doesnt bother making bonds with others because of it who suddenly finds himself questioning his choices of self isolation when he finally meets a group of people he can resonate with and feel seen by. a group of people who are willing to reach out and listen to him despite his past mistakes. theres just something so perfect about seeing that same angry teenager want to take his life into his own hands and strive to grow... that same angry teenager who didnt value his own life start to see meaning in things because of bonds...

i love goro so so much he makes me so emotional if it isnt obvious enough NGFHGDGBDFH I THINK ABOUT HIM A LOT. i think about him healing so much.

(btw im working on an analysis for him atm thats similar to lights so! stay tuned for that dropping when its done in like a million years NFHFBGFHDBGHF)

3. AKIRA KURUSU

DAMN 2 PERSONA 5 CHARACTERS IN A ROW

OKAY SO i know Technically akira is supposed to be a blank slate silent protagonist but let me tell you THATS SO FAR FROM WHAT HE ACTUALLY IS. IM NEVER FORGIVING ATLUS FOR TRYING TO SHOVE HIM INTO THE SILENT PROTAG BOX AND NOT LETTING HIM BE HIS OWN CHARACTER! BECAUSE HE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE AMAZINGGGGG ugh sorryfor caps im so fuckng mad MKDFKMGMHMGMG

it really does get on my nerves how because of atlus trying to make him a silent protag, the majority of the p5 fandom sees him as that. blank slate. nothing. when in reality he very much has a ton of spunk and id argue that hes his own character entirely if you just look a little deeper past the surface Like... its not even that hard to see personality in him. beneath the mask is literally his theme song, have you Not seen the lyrics to that? HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THE ENTIRE THEME OF THE GAME? this little dude is so traumatized and angry at those who wronged him (aka the justice system! shitty adults!) and people have the nerve to say hes the worst persona protagonist? lmfao

my favorite thing about akira is how he looks like a cat and how cocky and annoying he can be.. he is such a jokester hes the absolute dumbest. i enjoy this silly guy. *holds him under the armpits like a longcat*

4. SHIGEO KAGEYAMA

ahhh mob. he makes me do this -> :)

mp100, of course, changed my fucking life. mp100 is the reason i am the way i am and though all the characters are incredibly relatable and memorable and i cherish them so dearly, i, like most people, cherish mob the absolute most. seriously his strength really is incredible and though hes just a fictional character he is so inspiring and i wish to carry as much gentleness in my heart as he does.

im so so proud of him on his development he started off so.. i wouldnt say he was weak, but i would say that he lacked experience. he lived in his own little bubble not knowing what the world was like and throughout the story he grew to learn so much.. he learned to make such. mature decisions at such a young age. hes so so wise. hes so powerful not only because of his psychic powers but because of his compassion for others. he can befriend even the worst of people...

my favorite thing about him is his determination to become the best version of himself he can be. and also his relationship with ritsu (not me, i mean ritsu kageyama <3) i always gravitate towards siblings in fiction because im an only child and well <3 i dont experience that. so i like projecting onto them GHBFBBHFG they care so much for each other.. sniffle sniffle

5. RYO ASUKA

ok im going to be real even though im into devilman i dont have much of a reason to enjoy him this much. i just think hes hilarious and really cool and his satan form gives me gender envy. i love it when he commits random easily avoidable acts of violence for no reason at all its just because he wants to. and thats just fine. i think he can kill people and get away with it because hes ryo asuka. gay rights

[romolite]

*Important FAQ*

Aka questions that pertain to what I usually post about or stuff I don’t like getting asks about but continue to get asks about regardless.

[Insert any invasive question about my ethnicity/race]

I’m Ghanaian American. My parents were born in Ghana and I was born here in the US. I’ve seen it more on twitter and tumblr, but Black Africans don’t like me because I’m American, and black Americans don’t like me because I’m African. So I’m stuck in the middle lmao. I’m what you’d consider a First-Generation African, my parents are Continental Africans, and if I have children, they will be considered Generational African Americans.

First Generation African: A black person born in the US to parents who were born in Africa

Generational African American: A black person born in the US to US-born black parent(s)

Continental African: A black person born in Africa to parents who were also born in Africa

Non is just a prefix, black people don’t have a monopoly on the term! I suppose you think nonbinary people are racist huh?

Yeah sure it wasnt coined by black people but the context it’s currently used as was predominantly used by black people. ALL people who are not black benefit from and contribute to antiblackness, even if they are marginalized themselves. That kind of dynamic doesnt exist in other contexts (unless we’re talking about transfem + transmisogyny, but that’s something you’d have to talk to someone who is transfem about. Plus they have their own word for  “non-transfem”). Using it in contexts outside of antiblackness is appropriative (Yall are annoying as fuck with the “non-aspec” “non-lesbian”(this term also has anti-bi roots btw) “non-bi” shit etc, stop it. You also can’t complain about the “replacement terms” lumping yall with oppressors when “non-x” does the exact same thing you’re so worried about. “Cis” puts cis gays with cis hets, cis disabled people with cis abled people, cis white people with cis poc, I could go on.) 

Plus we’re talking about marginalized groups here. Black people are a marginalized group. Binary people as a whole are not so the term nonbinary isn’t appropriate at all.  I dont take issue with terms like “nonamerican” or “nonwhite” because (obviously) whites + americans as a whole aren’t oppressed for being white or american.

Basically using "non-x” in contexts to talk about oppression bad, everything else good.

Follow up: If we can’t use non-[marginalized group], what can we use instead?

There are other words to describe the people you’re talking about

non-transfem- TME

non-LGBT- cishet, or people who aren’t LGBT

non-trans - cis

Black people don’t have a monopoly on the acronym nb! I’ll call myself nb if I want to!

At this point I dont really care, go on your antiblack crusade elsewhere and out of my inbox, I’m always gonna mean nonblack when I use the acronym nb. 

And yes, you’re antiblack as fuck if you think black people telling you “nb” stands for “nonblack” is the same as exclusionists claiming “aspec” is for autistic people.

Is x AAVE?

I have a tag dedicated to what is and is not aave and how harmful it is for nonblacks to use aave given its history. I know some things overlap with southern culture but others are specifically for black people. A lot of “stan twitter” language/slang is just repackaged AAVE. No, I can’t tell you how to stop using AAVE. Don’t tell me you’re going to try to stop using AAVE, I don’t want to hear it.

Why don’t you like the n-word being compared to LGBT slurs?

Race and Sexuality/Gender aren’t comparable topics because each deals with a different history of oppression. I don’t care about slur discourse that much because I don’t even use/reclaim any myself except the n-word.

I have a problem with nonblack LGBT people co-opting black culture and struggle(like they always do), especially for trivial online discourse.

And to be honest it goes deeper than slur discourse. Every other day someone is weaponizing the oppression of black trans women, or comparing “cishet aces/aros” in the LGBT community to white/nonblack people invading black spaces (you know, something that ACTUALLY takes resources away from the people who need it, see the cultural appropriation of Black African and Blac American culture in literally any nonblack community while black people get demonized for said culture), or tokenizing their black friends to get away with something blatantly racist. And that’s not even getting into how a lot of gay slang/stan culture is just repurposed AAVE/black culture.

And I’m not gonna lie, I’ve seen this more with exclusionist accounts than inclus accounts, but it’s still not excusable for inclus to do that either. We get erased as black gay/trans/queer/aspec people up until it’s time for discourse accounts to bring us up to one-up each other

Can you give me advice on x?

Most likely not, because I’m not an expert or an advice blog. I’ll try, but don't take my word for it. I’m also tme, able-bodied, not Jewish, singlet, etc, so I’m not able to accurately answer questions about transmisogyny, (physical?) ableism, antisemitism, “sycourse”, etc.

I might be able to give advice on school-related stuff since I just graduated high school, but remember that students are not a monolith, and what worked for me may not work for someone else.

Can I follow if I’m nonblack/a minor/cishet?

Nonblack and/or cishet can follow but watch your step, minors blacklist the #minors dni tag before following

Why do you hate Ao3?

*long sigh*

I don't, I have a problem with the fact that it allows racist and (frankly voyeuristic) pedophilic/abusive/incestuous content to exist on its platform. It’s a good concept overall, but the devs are complicit in allowing “underage” and “noncon/dubcon” fics on their platform.

And there's the fact that they somehow need donations every year despite exceeding their goal several times over each year?

What’s wrong with Hazbin Hotel/The Ships/Vivziepop?

[WIP, as I have to go into extensive detail about this and I currently don’t have the energy for it]

TLDR: Viv made a half-assed apology for supporting racists (one of whom did blackface [yes the mask was used to do blackface shut up] to mock black activist) and drawing gross content. Her current projects including Hazbin Hotel are full of anti-gay/trans/aspec (Angel Dust, Vaggie, Alastor), antisemetic (Mimzy), and racist (Vaggie again, that yellow cyclops character that I’ve forgotten the name of) content under the guise of humor. If you’re into that shit, whatever, just don’t follow me and don’t whine when I make posts criticizing it.

What’s wrong with Hamilton?

Aside from the fact that it’s very obviously glorifying slave owners and made people worldwide believe the founding fathers were good people, LMM, the creator, is nonblack. This isn't his story to tell at all. 

Can you tag x?

I have a list of things I usually tag because they come upon this blog a lot. I cannot do catch all tags, as I have way too many followers for that. The closest thing to that is the “ask to tag” tag when there’s something potentially triggering but I’m not sure what it is. Everything is tagged as “x tw”. If something is extremely triggering, I’ll tag it as “major tw”

Do you tag slurs?

I tag slurs I’m not able to reclaim at all (i.e., d slur, f slur, t slur) or slurs I can reclaim but are being used as a slurs. I don’t tag the n-word, as I reclaim that one. I always tag the r slur

Can I message you about something/someone?

Unless you’re a mutual, most likely no. My DMs are only open to mutuals.

Do you want to be mutuals?

I don’t usually follow back people who follow me, especially if you’re under 16 or post things I’m not interested in.

Why is it important to have byf or about?

1) So I know gross people aren’t following me. This is not up for discussion

2) So I know someone’s not speaking out of their lane, which tends to happen a lot. (i.e, someone refusing to disclose that they are tme when discussing transmisogyny, someone not having their race listed when discussing racism)

3) Some people don’t want to interact with people under 18 or over like 30 or something.

Yeah, yeah, people aren’t entitled to personal information and all that crap but I have a serious problem with people speaking on topics from a place of privilege. Not to say they can’t talk about those things, just perhaps add a disclaimer that you’re privileged when talking about these things and be open to criticism, and NOT blocking people of the said marginalized group when they tell you something you’ve said was problematic.

I also have a problem with people who are intentionally vague about their age. There’s a difference between interacting with someone who’s 20 and someone who’s 29. I don’t want to say it’s the opposite for minors but at the same time there’s a difference for saying something racist at 13 and doing so at 17, and keeping your age vague makes it harder to determine how to deal with something like that. (Not that 13-year-olds shouldn’t know better, it’s just I don’t feel whole ass callout posts and receipt blogs are necessary for someone of that age).

Also anyone under 16, I can't stop you from following, but keep your interaction limited, please. This isnt an 18+ blog but I do rb suggestive jokes from time to time

I sent you an ask and you never answered it!

It’s likely that

I never got it

You were blocked

I’ve already answered this or it’s been answered in my faq

It’s a random positivity ask (which I appreciate but not sure how to respond to those)

You were rude in your ask and I didn’t feel like answering

I forgot until it was too late, which happens when my inbox gets a lot of asks at a time.

You sent it to the wrong blog (I.e, sending asks about my ocs to this blog instead of @ochood )

Hey, the op is [insert post] is [someone on my dni]! I usually double-check myself, just to be sure.

Have you heard about [someone who is mutuals with someone I’m loosely connected with]?

Most likely, no. And unless they’re an immediate danger to someone or they’ve got my name in their mouth, I don’t care.

Do you know who [x person/group/thing] is?Most likely no. Not to sound like a hipster but I don't usually keep up to date with trends. If I do hear about something, it’s most likely from twitter or Instagram.

Why am I blocked? Check here.

Why do you continuously move mains/change URLs/update themes?

I’m inconsistent. And sometimes there are posts on my blog that I no longer stand by.

Can I tag you in posts I think I’d like?Of course! 

[semi-imaginary-place]

tales of arise spoilers

a world free of sacrifice. saving the world means saving ourselves too. alphen says big NO to self sacrificing heroes. a fight without losers, an outstretched hand

oh the city is NOT in good shape. oooooooh are we getting dohalim content? !

yeah i pointed out. weird how all the renans are on lenegis. the sovereign rules from rena but no one has ever heard of someone who’s been on rena? suspicious. also real convienient for the sovereign to be a fake person afterall no one can meet them. there’s a new sovereign every 10 years, where do the old ones go?

who is the current ruler sovereign of lenegis/rena i wonder. all the lords are famous so i find it strange that dohalim and shionne have not said their name yet. who won the last crown contest?

if the crown contest cycle is 10 years, then whoever is made lord doesn’t get to go home for 20 years (assuming this isn’t all a sham and you die when you go to rena or something)

if renans are so high fashion why does every renan we meet (minus the main characters) wear the same clothes

oooh burn 7 years and still that much venom? wow she hates him

does no one notice that the woman in red’s eyes are all black?

eyes peering out of the darkness of the thorns within naomi. and this triggers some sort of reaction in alphen?? rainbow and black

i do like how we are getting more on how the structure of renan society is hurting not just dahnans but renans too. good job game! I also like how the game doesn’t try to give the obviously evil people a redemption arc. no they were evil but they were people too is a good take.

“composite being” what does that mean. composite of what. “live out the rest of their days on rena” oh they are totally killed. whatever conspiracy is ruling from the shadows set up the crown contest to filter for individuals with high astral arts capabilities for better experimental material maybe

lore dump! considering the mask was an early brainwashing attemp with noted many side effects, i wonder how wearing it for 300 years has affected alphen’s mental and cognitive abilities. having a protag with mental disabilities is very unusual

... we might have messed up.

the giant spirit vessels in each realm had a biological component... we still haven’t learned why they need all this energy. oh we exploded the detachable harvester tip so hard it made it easier for the second one to suck dahna dry. woops i do love that for once fighting everything was NOT the answer. hmm yup all 6 elements are needed which is why a dahnan and renan are needed, soveriegn and maiden. still dont get why its gendered tho (king in jp(ou))

so both shionne and naori had the thorns but what im still unsure of if it was this shadowy conspiracy that put it inside these two or not. both were experimented on. but shionne said she’d always had the thorns, even before she was experimented on

oh so there are two plots. naori trying to form a new renas alma to seal the thorns/dark astral energy inside of it and whoever experimented on naori and alphen and also want a renas alma for yet unknown reasons.

naori sealed the thorns inside of her with the maiden powers passing it on to her decedents. but what if she never had kids, would it just explode out on her death?

what worries me is that this shady conspiracy also wants the maiden and sovereign and renas alma together. i dont know if the spirit channeling ceremony and the sealing of the thorns are different things but my guess is so. for now the party’s goals and the conspiracy’s goals are headed in the same direction are they trying to destroy the universe? damn doomsday cults. oh btw in jp its sekai or world but like in the metaphorical sense so universe/all of existence is a good interpretation. its like the difference between world and planet.

the sovereign’s conscious connects to lenegis. it all comes back to channeling massive amount of astral energy from dahna to rena...

if the purpose of the spirit channeling ceremony is to drain astral energy from dahna then the destruction 300 years ago wouldn’t have just been from alphen going berserk it would have been from lenegis transforming like it is now

volrhan and alphen are set up as foils. but thematically volrhan also foils naori, both do not have walls as the game puts it neither sees renans and dahnans differently, its just that one is reallllllyyyyyy evil. volrhan: you think im some sort of killing racist???? truly the equal opportunity scumbaggery king

WE’RE GOING TO RENA!! and maybe fighting a god??? i hope i get to pummel a god!

a lot of people will miss dohalim in menancia but as much as he did for that realm, the pain that burdened him was from lenegis. btw we never hear about dohalim’s family wonder whats up with them

eh the game is trying to tie in metaphorical slavery with literal slavery. and well yes both can restrain a person in some way but there still is a very clear distinction between literally slavery and the ways in which societal conventions can apply pressure on people

[avianhaven]

Here's my trans keroro fucking gunsou headcanons y'all. i ended up derailing myself on multiple points but uhh

> tamama is trans and tbh this one isn't even a headcanons he's like....legit trans. Trans little gay boy.

> fuyuki and natsumi are Both trans and they swapped name kanji. The "mi" and "ki" at the end of their names they got from one another bc gendered language. So yeah dead names would he fuyumi / natsuki and they don't mind people knowing bc it's like...familial bond thing they love their names and the seasonal motif of them. Natsuki can technically be a girls name I think but again, Familial Bonds. > hey btw in the ep where they introduce sumomo and oddly enough the first damn girl fuyuki shows actual interest in ends up being her after she does her magical girl transformation ? but also natsumi getting knda angry abt it and blushing and it’s meant to be in a jealousy way but In Reality that’s just natsumi trying to work thru her internalized homophobia. they both have the same fucking taste nkkjn these siblings. so yeah, natsumi is bi, obviously.

> this isnt rly a transcanon but uhh the village koyuki grew up in didnt have a traditional gender system. the western binary sex model didnt infect them so they treated all their ninja kiddos basically the same but yeah. koyuki didnt grow up with cishet normativity which is why she’s openly a huge lesbian with no remorse and i love her and her love for natsumi is so pure and good that is all. koyuki is wlw culture.

> uhh same general vein but didnt saburo grow up with aliens or whatever? in the manga which i did not read bc i read One (1) volume in middle school and it made me super uncomfy w it’s gross sexualization of teen girls. but yeah, i read his wikia bio and no offense but aliens dont have earth gender systems so saburo is technically a nb dude is what i’m getting at.

> the moral reality is that all aliens are trans bc why would alien frogs abide by earth rules and its terrible faulty binarist gender systems tbqh

> kururu is uh. kururu but also kururu doesnt know how to respect women none of the platoon knows how to respect women except dororo and the retconned “giroro who cares for natsumi in a strictly overprotective older sibling / otherwise gun toting uncle kinda dynamic instead of crushing on a fucking 15 year old” pls and thank you.

but yeah uhh 966 Likes grr and that’s gay tbh kururu is a gr8 character he again just needs to learn to respect women but that’s the writers fault u kno? this entire terrible damn show is the writer’s fault and if given the opportunity i would kill krr creator in real life.

> arbitrary, but uhh dororo's mom is trans also. Like, she doesn't have the mostly white coloration that most girls in the series have and I mean krr's mom is the same too so ig all keronians grow out of it, just for girls it takes longer, ex: pururu but she's in canon vain and has an aging complex (which is...irritating writing honestly but anyway)

But yeah the mask kinda makes it look almost like she has a younger girl keronians coloration and that's? Trans culture. actually while im at it pururu? also trans she got the alien equivalent of hormone blockers at a young age and her concern with aging is her fear of her youthful blatant girliness wearing off. also ive only seen maybe 2 of them but already im so sick of the pururu bad hetero love plots give her a girlfriend and let bariri move forward with his life. shitpost: bariri crushin’ on giroro’s older brother is the new bad love subplot.

> dororo ain't a cisgender and tbh that mask they wear is like..kinda trans. My hc is that under the mask dororo doesn't have that white color under the chin, like a mutation or whatever.

But yeah continuing above pt w drr's mom, half the reason for the mask is that it kinda makes it look like an in-between skin coloration and that's trans culture.

Tbh my dororo headcanons are all over the place bc A, I'm bias' and B I'm just legitimately not sure. Canon things abt dororo tho: -had a terrible fucking crush on krr as a kid that they regret very, Very deeply. -gay for giroro -that one cute flower planting episode where dororo says “ill plant flowers for girls, and even more flowers for the whole planet” dororo may or may not like women romantically but nonetheless they have a degree in Respecting Women. -looks rly cute in dresses and when they did that one power rangers rip off dororo got pink and a heart helmet that’s trans culture. -legit changed their name and everyone respects that except that one robot guy ig. also i rewatched that ep and uhh giroro was the first one to respect dororo’s name change? heart emoji. -drr is also like....very traumatized i kno it’s a comedy but that fucking assassin corps backstory killed my ass in middle school. but uh gender would be the last thing on a person’s mind w that kinda shit going on also a childhood with keroro is also its own brand of painful. actual uhh gender hcs tho include: intersex nb mlm solidarity to koyuki who’s lesbianism is a very distinct personality trait of hers. dororo themself isnt sure abt gender stuff, just is gay for dudes and cares abt girls well-being, it’s whatev. this is abt 60% projecting also btw.
