hi @worldslargestboogercollection - Tumblr Blog

i don’t think this was an intended part of flowerys character at all and im very happy there are people out there who enjoyed and felt seen by his dynamic with ralsei (trans rep is far and few between) but i felt like his behavior towards ralsei came off a lot like outing and was kind of triggering at pointe😔particularly with ralseis irritation and angry denial at what flowery is saying about him being played off for jokes (like him poking at what is clearly an allegory for ralseis closetedness).

in a lot of ways this behavior from flowery is presented as him helping ralsei work through their feelings around identity (especially later in the chapter where these scenes are a lot more positive. that doesn’t erase everything that happens earlier though). i feel this part of the narrative can be harmful bc a lot of his flowerys actions come off to me as just pushing someone to come out when they aren’t ready.

if you didnt read their interactions like this i dont think youre wrong at all i actually think you have the “correct” interpretation of it but i imagine there are other people out there who had similar feelings as me
