I think Nadeko has some real “my mom doesn’t let me pick my clothes, this is the most androgynous thing I own.” vibes so I was fairly hesitant on concepts like Tsukihi picking clothes for her or Nadeko becoming girly in a traditional cute way again. I understand the concept of that Nadeko reclaiming her own femininity from her trauma is something valuable in storytelling that can be validating. Yet that plot line has mostly been used misogyny plots to de-tomboy some tomboy characters or like “fixing” a girl character. So it becomes awkward to view with nadeko, as this is a character with a story about expressing repressed parts of yourself, following your dreams, being authentic and not what society wants, and living ungracefully. The rebellion against cuteness can easily be undercut by the need to market nadeko girlier.

(I feel like a lot of the nademono fanart I’ve seen has mostly been nadeko in the more masc fits which I feel like says something about the core nadeko audience outside the anime lol)

But the trailer had me thinking that the showrunners may understand this to the degree of making the outfit from tsukihi’s closet boyish (well as masculine as sorta sweet ouji Lolita style fashion can be, but there’s an intent of boyishness in there). So it’s got me imagining that maybe in the nadeko timeskip outfit, she also wears something boyish! I think that if Nadeko has to reclaim anything cute it would have to break the mold on some level. If that ended up as cute boy fashion then so be it. This is my truth.

I think nisio could do it and go beyond bc the guy’s cap of how butch a woman can be before he starts getting scared is higher than the average light novel author. (To a degree that it factors into the nisio gender chart and he invents some in fact not girls)

Of course, it would need to be his truth too.

One wish I have for the Mighty Nein series is that Caduceus does not know how to fight at all.

Like not even a little bit. Like he’s completely useless in a bar fight.

Like, I want him in the fights, don’t get me wrong. I want them to show him cancelling crits somehow, like one of the Mighty Nein is about to be fucking destroyed and vines form around them and yank them back or something. I want them to show him casting holy weapon on Beau’s hands. Maybe he creates some fun shields when things attack.

But most of the time in battle, especially at the beginning, when he’s the new guy, I want him to be the most cringe-fail fighter to ever exist. I want them to get into a fight with pirates and just get knocked unconscious in one punch. I want them to rush out and accidentally steal that boat and realize they left Caduceus behind on the dock bc he didn’t know what was happening.

My man grew up as a healer and a graveyard attendant. If this boy threw a punch he’d break his hand on the other guy’s jaw. But don’t worry because he’d never think to throw a punch anyway.

In the game, he needed to do some fighting sometimes. But in the show, I think he should just hide away for nearly every battle. He should not cause a single drop of blood. Even when he’s angry. He’s the healer. Not because of the god he worships (she’s actually a freak) but because of a personal choice.

The only time he should attack is if they show the scene with sheep Caleb.
