#theme: genderfluidity

[undlark]

I'm a bit late to the party, but happy trans visibility day! I had these designs sitting about with the hopes to make some pins, but the costs would be too much I think for such a project, so here is some fun flag coloured themes to add to trans visibility as a reminder to anyone who needs it: you are important.

Thoughts on Lycion's identity, species, gender. (CW: mentions of internalized transphobia)

as someone who is trans and has species dysphoria (and whose transness is intrinsically linked to species dysphoria, the human female form being too exaggeratedly human to feel comfortable in) it feels a bit odd when people exclusively discuss Lycion's body dysmorphia as exclusively a trans allegory (which is a perfectly reasonable read! but it can be more than that...) seemingly without much awareness that people who are like him, and especially trans people who are like him in a more literal sense exist... So I figure, as one of those people, I might give some observations on Lycion, along with some anecdotes of my own experience and how it parallels it, how his characterization reflects real-world struggles- both literally and as a trans narrative, and why I appreciate characters like him so much.

What is fascinating (but also so relatable!) to me, both when viewed in a literal sense and as a trans allegory, is that Lycion does not actually have a particular affinity to another species, but rather feels a visceral discomfort with his own elven body.

We even see in his raceswap portraits, Lycion is visibly happier as anything but an elf. Unlike Laios, who wants to become a monster, Lycion doesn't want to become anything in particular, he simply wants to stop being an elf.

Most depictions of transgender characters in media are focused on the idea of wanting to become something. Feeling in your heart you were always meant to be a boy or a girl or perhaps some secret third thing. Having a specific goal. What is less often depicted is the experience of I don't want to be what i was born as, I'd rather be anything else but this. anything is better than this. And, in both my struggles with gender and with my own humanity, this has been my experience!

Of course, there are a great many creatures I look at and think "I would be much happier if i were one of them", but those feelings are broader and less pressing than the overwhelming discomfort with my own body, and the desire to be less human. I aspired to masculinity and ultimately pursued transition not out of a particular affinity with any idea of maleness, but because masculine human features, to me, appear more animalistic, less of a strange naked thing that sticks out like a sore thumb in the grand scheme of things. And so too did Lycion pursue becoming a beastman, not because he felt a particular affinity with being a wolf, but because it would make him less of an elf.

And after pursuing it, even though he still has to spend much of his time as an elf, Lycion is far more comfortable, no longer nihilistic and self-destructive. He's confident, prideful even! He has a body that doesn't feel wrong, even if he can only wear it sometimes.

And, myself having been on HRT for nearly four years now, i have to say my experience has been much the same! Even though, of course, I'm still human, my dysphoria has essentially been eliminated, I feel comfortable in my body, and I genuinely like the way I look. I admire my reflection and find joy even in the changes that i was merely indifferent to the possibility of when beginning my treatment, and it even eased some issues completely unrelated to gender...!

Finally, Laios' dismissal of Lycion's identity here feels very reminiscent of people casting doubt on a trans (most often nonbinary) individual's identity due to transitioning for what they view as "the wrong reason", even at times arguing that only people who meet their personal standard for transness should be allowed access to transition. And like with Laios, who himself wishes to become a monster, these arguments are often coming from within, from others in the trans community.

Is someone who identifies as male because they don't want to be female less justified in their desire to pursue transition than someone who doesn't want to be female because they identify as male...? Should people be denied the right to feel comfortable in their own skin because they are seeking to escape something, rather than reaching for something specific...? Of course, you know what my answer is, but I digress.

So Kenny. Do you know him? I think you might know him. Anyway we see him in sweaters right. But we never see Suguru in those sweaters. Do you think Suguru had those in his closet and gege never drew him wearing them (a crime) or do you think Kenny took his fruity ass to the store to buy cute clothes. Asking for a friend (it’s me)

REMMMMM…… i DO know kenny >:3 i know him personally actually. here’s a pic of us

BUT YES . I HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THIS. my personal hc is that kenny tries to match the wardrobe of whoever his host is!! it might not even be a conscious thing…. but!! with that in mind!!!! i think it’s safe to say that even if the sweater he wears isn’t suguru’s, suguru is still VERY much a sweater guy. and i’ll die on that hill!!!!!! you can pry sweater boy sugu from my cold dead hands!!!!!!!!!!! he just strikes me as someone who dresses for comfort above all else :33

wait actually . i just remembered that sweater boy sugu is canon bc we see him wearing a black sweater in hidden inventory and it’s one of his best looks…….. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

GULP . he looks soooo boyfriend it’s insane ….

Presenting one of my personal favorites.

Haniel.

Archangel of Joy, of the Virtues, caretaker of Chalkydri and Phoenixes, Dominion of the Cosmos.

I'm still working on their colors.

Also have him talking with Lucifer about scripture or something.

If anyone wants to know about the definitions of the titles, I can talk about them, but my knowledge's just superficial.

I got a soft spot for him, but in a "what a pathetic wet rag of a man, I wanna see him get smooched silly" kinda way
