There's also a thing i'm working on in regards to Makoto and him cutting his hair as a symbolic act of moving forward with himself. He's a shapeshifter by his nature as both a dragon and a spirit, so he can grow his hair to whatever length he wants it to, but...to me, his hair being kept long was representative of his nature as a sorcerer, he was always distant, and even when he was involved in direct battles, his strategy was to stay in his dragon form and simply fry all of his enemies with his lightning breath.

Makoto becoming a dark knight and cutting his hair short is both for tactical reasons (preventing it from being grabbed) and his actual transition into a protector who will leap in front of others to keep them safe.

#still though #an intimate thing for him #and most if not all the dragons i write #is caring for their horns #or decorating them #it's one of the highest forms of intimacy he can show anyone #idk man #i think a lot about makoto shedding his princely behavior #and learning how to relax #he's no longer the general helping to defend Rivera #he's the person who can connect with others #albeit slowly #but he's trying his best #unfortunately (for others)#his way of showing care is being willing to murder whoever hurts them #something Maisie *has* gotten on his case about #because he sees the Doscedars being taken advantage of #and makoto was like #“i'll just kill all of your village elders”#problem solved #tbf tho #this tends to be a common theme with seraph and makoto #in seraph's case #it did work #because he essentially showed an entire tribe of people that he was capable of being someone who was empowered by a god's stolen relic #in makoto's case uhhh #it's complicated
