it would be really funny if all the transgender coding they put into sinclair was to allude to him transitioning during childhood. like yeah he's an egg that needs to hatch but transitioning was just step one

So are we gonna discuss how Sinclair is probably end of the book Sinclair and so fused with Demian? No? Alr

Hot take - I've always been at odds with the fanon of transfem Sinclair (and how the only alternative I've seen is transmasc) because it's something people argue is very strongly present in his text which makes it "basically canon"...but his text is very heavily focused on androgyny, not femininity. Sinclair is very much focused on breaking free of the binary concepts that society has constructed which includes finding a balance between the subconscious female anima and the conscious male self and to me that lends itself way better to something more fluid and nuanced and non-binary. I feel like entirely dismissing how Sinclair wants to find balance to instead say that he wants to entirely become the female inner self is like saying Sinclair wants to completely abandon the world of darkness to be entirely light. As an intermediary step perhaps, where Sinclair then learns that he doesn't fully belong in either realm and that he needs to make a third path, but no one frames it like that, it's always an absolute end goal.
Also because Hong "boys are mud and girls are pure water and I hate how dirty I am I'd do anything to be pure like a girl" Lu exists. I also find it hard to squint to make specifically a transfem reading of Sinclair work when DotRC is as subtle as a sledgehammer when it comes to how much the main character does not want to be a man.

I think Infantilizing either Don or Sinclair, just because they seem to be youngest of the squad, is stupid, those two are grown ass adults.
If I see another take like "I feel uncomfortable when x character drinks alcohol" or "I don't like it when people ship X characters" because "one is more like a child to me" I'm killing another hostage.

Trans non-binary Sinclair to reflect realizing that the world is more multifaceted than simply the binary light and dark. Enlightenonbinary.

THE Objectively Correct anon here
Sinclair and Hong Lu, the two people that nobody can agree if they are transmasc or transfem? I have a solution!!!!!
They are both genderfluid

Sinclair would distort if we showed them "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey

Following up on the kisses hc
Gregor: Tries to make it seem ike he doesn't want/need it. But trust. He does. This man is desperate to feel safe and vulnerable in a way that doesn't get him hurt. His lips are chapped and warm and unfortunately he does have cig breath. But if you're a gregor liker you probably don't mind that. He kisses softly at first, because he's trying to reign himself in. But if you dont pull off sooner or later you'd think he's trying to eat you. I hope you like bug parts scratching your cheeks.
Outis: she misses her wife tails. She misses her a lot. Ok onto the hc. Lips aren't smooth, but they aren't particularly rough either. There's some texture there, but she won't bleed easy if you bite them a little bit. Prefers to be the dominant force in a kiss, doesn't do tongue. She will melt into it a little bit, shoulders dropping and not holding you as tightly. Will pretend it didn't happen after. She is so touch starved your honor.
Sinclair: Sinclair is a very considerate guy. A little bit nervous and unsure about it but he's still very sweet. Can go either way, doesn't mind being the recipient. It depends how deep in the relationship you are? If you kiss as friends he's gonna be more giggly and light than if you were lovers. This guy is. Yeah. You're getting marks on your skin. Once he's sure of himself, he's very forward and all over you. Once again. Uber touch starved. Super embarrassed after about losing control of his impulses. He wears chapstick (medical, little to no flavor) so hes pretty soft and pleasant to kiss
Pano ask
