day 6 for @cocajimmycola‘s icon challenge: dynamic duos!
here’s my favorite dynamic duo, poison and hugo! poison is a canon trans woman, which i love how her character has progressed from a stereotype of trans women being overtly sexual dominatrixes into being a rather deep character of her own where sexuality is only just PART of her character, just like sexuality or the lack of it is part of us, and i LOVE her best friend and platonic partner (arguably QUEERplatonic partner) hugo! hugo started as a reference to andre the giant, and now he’s pretty much his own character, loving his mother, comparing himself to a potato in the senses of growth and thriving in any environment (which would be a pretty potent metaphor for queer people in general!) and being loyal to everyone!
anyway, i decided i’d just leave poison’s flags as trans and queer, because imo she’s probably queer in the sense of “i defy labels, categories, and common identities for my sexuality; i am a snake escaping bear traps that try to capture me”, though my hugo headcanons are fairly self indulgent. in my headcanon, he’s pansexual, allogreyro, and nonvirmina (though he doesn’t like to label his gender further than “masculine and feminine but not male or female”)!
i’m sorry for the huge ramble on the two, i just love poison and hugo so much and these pictures of them in particular (partially because poison looks arguably fairly butch in these pictures, and because hugo looks so darn cute)
