I actually find gender swapping characters really interesting (what part of their expression is dictated by gender norms vs certain events in their life vs their personal preferences that wouldn't change either way, etc.) so now I wanna draw what that would look like in my ocs except I am in pain rn so I'm forced to just lie there and be plagued by visions

#ok but #the thing with north is that when he ran away he cut off his hair and started wearing masculine clothing to hide his identity and went “wait #this actually feels right wtf“#but i dont think he really did anything with his appearance prior to that. he kinda was just existing not really thinking about himself #he was really only focused on protecting and caring for saffron #so a gender swapped version wouldnt be much different pre-running away #not bothering about cutting hair + the cultists' robes look very similar in both feminine and masculine versions #so fem north would still have short hair to make her appearance less recognizable #just would wear dresses and stuff #saffron though. i think she presents herself more in accordance with gender norms #so gender swapped saffron would always have short hair + more masculine looking clothing #but i think her mannerisms and behavior would stay the same. also her general frame #like yes she in part dresses and looks this way because thats whats expected of her + thats how she was raised by The Lady but a lot of it #esp in terms of her personality is Just Her. this would stay the same #warren doesnt give a shit. he doesnt have much gender to begin with. no gender only swag #so he would look almost exactly the same just with less facial hair probably #The Lady would very much be different. like instead of graceful threatening elegant old-ish woman with Big Hair and Big Dress #shed have short hair same level of elegance but masculine clothes probably facial hair too. like one of them small sharp beards yk #the restaurant owner (still dont have a name for her) wouldnt change almost at all as well. shes very much function/comfort over style #her clothes are already masculine n she has short hair both for convenience #shed straight up look the same just with a stubble or smth #there are a couple other characters in this story i have thoughts on but i havent introduced/developed them properly yet #pjsk ocs though ! ive been thinking abt them again #matsu is pretty feminine and it does play a role in a “part of why ppl think hes weird” kinda way #so as a girl hed be more masc presenting #i dont think fumi would really change at all. she also dresses mainly for convenience but i do think she does have a little regard for #for gender norms. but like. barely any. so maximum changes would be those ponytail parts of her hair getting like. a tiny bit shorter #toshiro would stay the EXACT same. he does his own thing #seina dresses that way bc shes expected to but also thats just genuinely how she is. so swapped shed still have longer hair n feminine #demeanor but wear pants or smth. im hitting tag limit help. cries
