#vs just pigeonholing them into a box that they have fought tooth and nail to claw their way out of.

Okay now for something Different. Or the same. Who knows. But entirely for my own enrichment purposes.
For Moe, a transmasculine character who, despite its flamboyancy and androgyny, is solidly exclusively Some Guy in identity just with a lot of extra steps (and can get really dysphoric if interpreted Incorrectly). For Moe, all of this considered/factored in, to have a fairy Resplendent, which seems to be an all-girls club.
The goodness in your heart aside that may wish well for Moe and its fate. Is it giving Women and Thems, conflating nonbinary/genderqueer identities with being afab and therefore "woman-lite", which inherently alienates anyone who falls outside of that whether it be due to identity (Moe's case, it WILL fucking kill you), presentation or sex assigned at birth. Or can Moe just serve cunt in peace with its complicated relationship with femininity (both what was enforced and coerced upon it and how it currently defies and defiles it). Thematically, can Moe serve cunt in peace?
#moe tag#this IS for funsies and won't really have any bearing on anything.#sometimes i just love creating unique forms of torture for moe though. like. dod alt and wedding alt case and point#back to the question actually secret third option. is it like pixie hallow where there's just like. a grand total of four guys.#like you've got terrance clank and bobble and that cunty ceo of spring fairy guy. i don't know his name.#I FEEL LIKE. the childhood fixation i had on tinkerbell just. shows. sometimes.#either way. do you condemn moe to death via cruel and unusual punishment or do you have mercy on its wretched soul#OKAY OKAY I'LL BE SO SERIOUS. I'LL STOP FUCKING AROUND. WHAT I'M TRULY GETTING AT HERE#is WHERE is that line!!!! between capturing a character who has an extremely complicated relationship#w how they were raised/who they are now and how they present themselves which seems to be in contradiction to WHO they are#or bad faith who they 'claim' to be#WHERE IS THAT LINE!!!!!!! between finding a way to Portray that w themes/visual storytelling#vs just pigeonholing them into a box that they have fought tooth and nail to claw their way out of.#is it a disservice to moe? or is it Saying Something? is the contradiction PART of the Point#is it about rebellion? to spit in the face of it? to tear it apart and to re-create it in your own image?#any which way i do wanna put it in a funny little outfit. moe loves funny little outfits. enrichment.
