#its fine if kisa is a girl im just writing a fic in my head where she meets a trans boy and they have a moment of shared confusion

[whimsicorner]

I started playing Jack Jeanne and I'm not finished yet so I can't say much about it (I'm having fun tho!)

I will say that just as a personal preference thing, it would add an extra flavor to the game if Kisa was some flavor of trans (her moment of disquiet when she realizes she's lost track of her sense of who 'Kisa' is after acting in different roles, her fear of really letting herself act in a female role in case she accidentally outs herself to her friends, her fear that they'll reject her for hiding herself, Shirota saying that he'll accept her no matter what, etc etc). Kisa works fine as a girl learning how to transcend gender roles as an actor, etc, but it's tempting to poke genderfluid Kisa with a stick....

The game feels pretty alright about gender things but as a queer guy myself I keep thinking "I'm curious how this school's admin would handle a trans masc kid, especially one that wasn't handpicked by the principal..." And I think it'd be kind of cute for 2nd or 3rd year Kisa to meet a 1st year who's almost but not quite an echo of herself (with the difference being 1) he doesn't know who Tsuki is and 2) trans masc) and idk if any of this is a coherent thought but basically a little hamster wheel in my head is spinning and I have to make myself finish the game before I can play with fic HAHA the kids getting a shock that the newest baby first years don't know Tsuki at all

Right now I'm almost to December and working on getting to the Suzu route because I think he's funny and cute but I'm really tempted to start a new file already for the solo route I've been hearing about....I wish to see it...

Also I was like I know it's not that funny but I do think it'd be kind of funny if people figured Kisa out but then thought she was a trans boy instead of a girl in disguise (this goes back to me wondering what school admin would be like about trans students if they, like, existed. Rhodonite is the way it is, so it hopefully wouldn't be...that bad...? They're pretty chill about boys doing whatever they want with self expression)
