man i did that whole intervallo in one sitting right when it came out and when i was done it was 3 am :sob:
I keep double guessing myself like "yeah no way this is a trans metaphor surely, it can't hold the same queer context in Korean right" but THERES NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW FOR SURE and I ASSUME its probably just a metaphor carried over from Demian (which I havent read yet) which is why I was double guessing myself BUUUUT...
My point being, I don't know how much of transfem sinclair- as much as I adore that reading- is *intentional.* It might not matter much if it isnt, as themes of growth and fear of stagnation are very parallel to transgender themes, but still. In the original korean, there's no way all these egg metaphors hold the same queer context they do in english, right? Can somebody inform me on that if they know?
Summary for those scrolling to the end: Is it just pure chance that the english translation ends up portraying Sinclair a *DEEPLY* transfeminine character, or is it part of the original intent in the original language? I'd like to know

the shit they did to heathcliff in this intervallo was SO MEAN. how many times r people gonna remind him of his dead gf and make him so sad. I HATE WHEN HE GETS THE DARK EFFECT ON HIS FACE!!!! LOOK AT HIM!!!! HES SAD!!!!!!
they also took away his CLUB. !!! why would they do that to him ☹️. hello. they took away his club.
AND!!!!!!! it is not lost on me how he was teaching the value of morale in battle and touting himself as someone with incredibly thick skin (with that cutes moment where he explains he's changed) only to quit his lesson early when sinclair brings up ◼️◼️◼️◼️◼️. can't people see his home life was bad.. and complicated.. and a tough subject ... every time ts gets brought up he always gets SAD..... STOP MAKING HIM SAD.... what is WITH the heathcliff gets treated like shit arc ☹️☹️☹️
STOP SAYING THAT SPRING CULTIVATION IS AN UMAMUSUME REFERENCE!! IT IS A PRINCESS MAKER REFERENCE YOU FOOLS AND I AM TIRED OF SEEING THESE IDIOTIC JOKES!
Growth better become a skill on LCB Sinclair
