Rui's androgyny needs to be studied
tallgrape yuri 💜💜👅👅👅👅👅👅
i HATE drawing TALLGRAPE and YURI /jjjjj
so we all know and love the (basically atp) canon t4c mizuena. but. i've come here to spread the t4c rui x tsukasa agenda. drabbles of my AU of them below the cut ^w^ this isn't supposed to be like. well written. it's just me yapping about the storyline of the AU really. i should really turn this into a fic
rui and tsukasa are best friends in middle school. they both pretty much only have each other, since everyone else judges them. rui knows that he's trans, however he's not out yet. tsukasa is oblivious. rui will often complain to him about his uniform and everything that comes with being born female, but tsukasa still doesn't work out that rui is transmasc. rui is scared to come out to him, even if he knows he really doesn't need to be.
the last day of middle school arrives. rui had developed a "crush" (it was more than a mere crush) on tsukasa, and decided to take the leap and tell him. he thought that if they loved each other, tsukasa would be more likely to accept him... however, rui is turned down as, while tsukasa does love him, he doesn't think he loves him that way since he comes out as gay, which obviously hurts rui as it's a reminder that tsukasa sees him as a girl (due to being oblivious to rui being trans). after that, rui feels very much hurt and scared, and he impulsively cuts off all contact with tsukasa altogether.
middle school is now over. rui comes home distraught, and ends up coming out to his parents. the kamishiro parents being as peak as they are, accept him wholeheartedly, and during the break, work on helping rui transition. they get his hair cut, take him out shopping for a new wardrobe, apply for him to get on HRT... everything.
once he returns back to highschool, he is now presenting far more masculine, and he starts T during highschool. him and tsukasa go to different highschools, so rui is still very lonely. people tend to avoid him since he's known to be trans. i was thinking maybe mizuki goes to the same highschool and they become friends though? nene too maybe (they're still childhood friends though ofc)
by the time highschool is over, rui is pretty much completely transitioned and now passes as a cis man. he's also grown to be very tall since he took T while he was still growing.
rui is now starting college. he moves into a college dorm, and the first day he arrives, he finds that his roommate is... none other than tsukasa. he's quite taken aback by this, obviously, but he's actually very glad about this. he missed tsukasa a lot while they lost contact, and his love for him never went away. but now, they had happened to be reunited!! tsukasa, being as oblivious as he is, initially asks the other boy if he knew anyone called rui, thinking this man was a secret brother. rui replies saying how he did know a rui, because he was rui. tsukasa is confused for a moment until... he finally connects the dots right there and then when he spots the a pin of the trans flag on rui's bag. he feels a wave of guilt at all those times he had misgendered rui, but he dismisses it and instead rushes forward to hug the other, simply happy to be able to see him again. i think i'll go more in detail with this if i were to write this scene up...
so, the two are best friends again, and also now living together. however, tsukasa now realises the fact that his love for rui wasn't so platonic after all. the two of them hopelessly pine after each other like the gay idiots they are for a short while until tsukasa finally goes to ask rui if he still held feelings for him after all this time. after some hesitation, rui replies that he does in fact still love him that way, and tsukasa in turn confesses his own newfound love. and the two of them live happily ever after :D
again. this is not supposed to be like an actual piece of writing lmao. just me rambling
transmasc rui and tsukasa in the park or whatever and suddenly a dog runs up to rui and starts aggressively sniffing his crotch and the owners like haha usually he only does that to girls!
rui and tsukasa exchange glances with each other like … does he know … either way the owner apologises and they all go on about their day. rui turns to tsukasa and tells how he feels like a dog almost outed him
POLYSHO DOODLE PAGE!!
YIPEEE!! i finally finished this :D some of it isn’t colored because i got lazy
yapping and close ups under cut (also click for better quality it’s blurry as shit 😭)
got a bit stuck with my t4c rui x tsukasa fic for a period but i finally started writing it again and i think the first chapter will be done soon :D
so on that note, i will be posting the fic on ao3, but should i post each chapter here on tumblr as separate posts too? if i do then i'll give each chapter a specific tag so it should be easier to read through them all. i'd appreciate it if you could give me some title ideas!! i'm thinking something symbolic since this is a pretty serious fic.
should i upload the chapters as posts on tumblr too?
yes!!
no, just post on ao3
