#i think there was a post going around abt transmasc tetora a few days ago?

[voiceofsword]

i don’t know if you still do this kind of stuff but i loved seeing your trans niki rinniki comic 😭😭 i’d love to hear more of your headcanons with it too if you have any

OK!! i feel like. ive talked about the bulk of it, or how it at least manifests in nikis early life and after that he just. is trans and nothing really differs from canon, but something i've held onto from earlier enstars days (bc of beasts xoxo love u) is that tetora is a trans guy, as well! so when i first delved into niki - tetora interactions i was like wait a minute.. i love this

baby tetora sees this squirrely little kid on the other side of the screen and instantly just knows this guy is like him. so besides having his parents be away often and having niki's cooking show as the only company while he eats, he begins seeing niki as this older brother in that regard as well... he goes from thinking, hey am i allowed to feel this way? to seeing niki just being himself on his show and slowly realizing things about himself, too

and then he meets niki at ES again and fanboys the whole time and seeks him out both for cooking advice and general gender stuff, and niki doesnt know what to do bc he both doesnt expect the praise and he basically plays everything by ear and is like idk kid i just go here. even tho niki's hard on him (think sweets box) i think it's bc he knows tetora can take it... and because he sucks at cooking but that is besides the point.

he sees niki doing things and wants to do them too, just like him (like a little kid), bc to him niki is the epitome of what he aspires to be, bc its what he grew up thinking even when his show was pulled off air.......

do you see it. my vision
