#my queer headcanoning of furuba will never be stopped

[chuthulhu-reads]

[ID: A panel from Fruits Basket. Mine's eyes are hidden behind the sheen of her glasses and her cheeks are flushed as she grips Tohru's hands and says, "Shall we try something on?" With a love heart at the end. Mine is surrounded by sparkles and slightly scratchy "Ha!"s. Tohru looks a little confused. Behind them, Ayame is smiling and explaining, "When Mine sees a cute girl, she has a tendence of wanting to make them change clothes." Yuki has been cropped out of the panel but his wordless exclamation of shock is just visible. End ID.]

She’s just like me fr. Also I know a lot of cis women also do, like, maid dress-up and Lolita fits, but I can’t decide which read on Mine I like more: a femme twink who deeply loves his drag, or a trans woman who is riding a kind of unrestrained gender euphoria that cis people can never fully understand. Either way, while Ayame and Mine are canon, there is no way on this plane that their relationship is a fully cishet one. I also like reading them as polyamorous, because they seem like the kinda people who would be SO enthusiastic about dressing each other up for their dates and gushing about what a catch their partner is and how lucky anyone would be to date them.
