I know this is a bit of a last-minute decision knowing the fact that this is the last day of Pride Month (or at least at the time where I'm from), but I can't help it but draw some LGBTQ headcanons from certain Cuphead bosses (and mini-bosses)!
I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to drawing and/or posting art online, so bear with me here! These headcanons are all my opinion, and it is okay if you have a different headcanon from mine as long as you respect mine!
So, here I go, I guess...
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A PRETTY LONG POST!
Blind Specter: Agender
Context on why: Because they are genderless according to the Cuphead wiki, despite the fact that there's a couple of people that use masculine pronouns on them.
The Root Pack: Aromantic
Context on why: I mean... I kinda ran out of LGBTQ headcanons with this one and landed on Aromantic.
Werner Werman: Aroace
Context on why: Werner Werman most definitely has more interest in other stuff than to be involved with any romance or anything love-related. I also don't ship him with Dr. Kahl since... eww (I think the context explains it itself on why I don't ship them).
Chef Saltbaker: Asexual
Context on why: Ever heard of the phrasing "Cake is better than s3x"? Yeah, I think Chef Saltbaker would be the type of guy to think that way.
Goopy le Grande: Autosexual
Context on why: The colors may not give off the autosexual theme in this image at first. But when you compare this to the color scheme on the flag, you'll see why. There's not a lot to say other than Goopy is incredibly narcissistic.
Pip and Dot: Bigender
Context on why: Like the one with the Root Pack headcanon, I kinda ran out of LGBTQ headcanons and landed on Bigender, which had me thinking "Easy! Pip and Dot! They are technically bigender since they are two genders in one body, right?".
Beppi the Clown: Bisexual
Context on why: I mean, Beppi has a bicolored suit and I thought "Huh... Bicolor... Bi... Bisexual!". Also, Beppi is either shipped with Bonbon or Djimmi (sorry Magic Carnival shippers, but I ship him with Bonbon).
Mangosteen: Demiboy
Context on why: He's a literal object, so I thought "How can an object have a gender? Eh... Demiboy's good enough for this one here...".
King Dice: Gay
Context on why: He's the gayest in the land~ Besides that... I don't know, honestly. He's shipped with a lot of dudes I guess (especially the Devil)...
Hilda Berg: Genderfluid Female
Context on why: Let me cook with the reason why... She’s genderfluid in my headcanon due to her shapeshifting into either being male or staying female. For example, when she shapeshifts into her Taurus form, it’s worth pointing out that bulls, which are animals associated with the Taurus zodiac sign, are male. When she’s in her Sagittarius form, Hilda Berg becomes masculine. And when she’s in her Gemini form, she stays female.
Djimmi the Great: Gender Non-Conforming
Context on why: Now this one right here... oooh boy where do I begin? Ok so, Djimmi’s development history, especially gender-wise, is genuinely confusing for me. The fact that Djimmi used to be female but at the same time used to be male in early development messes with my brain a lot that it’s hard for me to label what type of male he is. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, the real Djimmi is obviously male. But the thing is that when I checked the Cuphead wiki, it's stated that Djimmi used to be female. But at the same time when I check the concept art, he used to be male as well and it messes with my brain a lot. And now I came to the conclusion that he's gender non-conforming.
Baroness von Bonbon: Pansexual
Context on why: She has a ton of minions (4/5 are male and 1/5 are female but she likes them regardless in my interpretation) and also... I am pan myself and I like pink and have a sweet tooth just like Bonbon so...
Sally Stageplay: Straight Ally
Context on why: She's married to a man (I guess)... and that's all that I have to say.
That's all the headcanons that I can make right now (also my hands are getting weary from the hours of drawing rn)!
