Saw the trans Rose thing and I love it! But do you have headcanons for it?
You’re??? Asking me??? For trans headcanons???
BUCKLE UP KIDDINS AND @wilhelmares
Rose first suspects she’s not cis when she wakes up one morning and finds that she feels like more of a he. Pink? Yay! But frilly dresses? A little too feminine for his liking
He freaks out over this because what if his whole life has been a lie? What if his femininity and girlhood has been a façade? How is he going to completely overhaul his look and avoid questions?
Juleka notices of course because she’s The Best friend but she doesn’t say anything
If Rose wants to bring it up then that’s Rose’s business
Rose wonders if it was all just an identity crisis when a few weeks pass and she feels like Rose again
But nooope, a couple of days later and Rose is neither a he or a she
Rose: WHAT’S HAPPENING TO ME
Rose: AM I ROSE OR AM I A LIE
Juleka: I did some research, you could be non-binary? Genderfluid? Idk, I didn’t want to bring it up
Rose: thERE’S A WORD??????
It takes a while for Rose to feel comfortable calling herself genderfluid
Juleka’s support is the only thing keeping her together
But eventually after months of slow shifting she decides fuck it, I’m genderfluid
Rose: Call me Thorn when I feel more masc!
Juleka: I’ve got your genderfluid back but I refuse to be a part of this punning
(Juleka’s not serious, she loves seeing Rose so happy, she’ll tolerate the flower puns)
Everyone else is so supportive when Rose finally feels comfortable enough to come out
Marinette offers to design her some cute boyish outfits that are still “her”
Adrien gives her his old clothes that don’t fit anymore
Max dumps a large stack of resources on her desk and normally her eyes would glaze over in boredom as he talks but this time she cries because everyone’s so nice???
Even Chloé scoffs and says that Rose and Thorn are equally annoying
That one makes Rose sob in joy
As Thorn he tries to act overly masculine and how he thinks boys should be
Until everyone points this out and he realises that he doesn’t have to be overly masculine to be a boy
Kim: *whispers* Alix made me try on a dress once for a dare...and I LIKED it
Juleka: So does my brother
Ms Bustier makes Rose a little desk name thing so that Rose can choose the name and pronouns that she wants everyone to use
Rose bursts into tears when Bustier gives it to her
Ms Mendeleiev prepares a whole presentation on being trans and how biology is complicated when some asshole jeers behind Rose’s back and expects science to back him up
Mr Damocles doesn’t have a single clue about trans people but bless him, he tries to be supportive
Kitty Section is where Rose can really let loose, especially when she helps write songs
And Marinette always aims to make Rose’s costumes as neutral as possible so Rose can customise them depending on her gender at that moment
Bob Roth: What the hell kind of thing is this? How am I supposed to promote this to the public?
Luka and Juleka and Marinette and Ivan start tearing into him
Trans and non-binary kids emerge in droves to write their support for Rose online and express how thrilled they are to see her
Because representation matters
Rose really embraces being genderfluid because omg she’s helping people by just being Rose/Thorn??? Her stage name is now officially Rose Thorn because she doesn’t mind being called one when she’s the other if they’re combined like that
Jagged Stone proclaims her “freakin’ rock and roll”
