#SORRY FOR RAMBLING ABOUT RIDDLE. NOT MY FAULT I KIN HIM

Yay, my favorite dorm! Thank you so much for the ask!!

❤️ Riddle Rosehearts: gay demisexual trans guy (he/him)

I know this is almost exactly what you said in your response to my ask about him, and I honestly 1000% agree with your reasoning. I will also admit the way I view him is heavily influenced by my own experiences with gender and sexuality (minus the demisexual part). During the timeline of the game, I see Riddle as pre-everything, likely due to discouragement or fearmongering by his mother. Even after moving out of his mother's house, I honestly don't really see him transitioning medically; however, I think that would be a conclusion he would come to on his own after extensive research rather than due to his mother's influence. I also think he would use neopronouns if he didn't feel like he would be breaking some unspoken rule by doing so. I don't really feel the need to explain why I think he's gay to be honest, but as for his demisexuality, I will introduce my Treyrid agenda. I feel like the connection Riddle forms with Trey in their childhood ultimately blossoms into romantic and sexual feelings after reuniting at Night Raven. Since this would likely be his only experience with such feelings up to that point, I can see it greatly influencing the way he views his own attraction from that point forward.

❤️ Ace Trappola: aromantic bisexual cis guy (he/him)

I'll admit, I don't really have a ton of specific thoughts about Ace. Most of this headcanon comes purely from vibes. Ace feels like a fuckboy to me. He feels like the type of guy that would hook up with dudes and then make some excuse as to why it isn't gay because "we kept our socks on, guys!" and "what's a little dick-sucking between bros?". He'd probably treat sex pretty casually and thus not really understand why people think that because he fucks dudes he has to be gay. I think as he gets older and works past some of his internalized homophobia though, he'd probably end up coming to terms with his attraction towards guys and identifying as bisexual. As for the aromantic part, I feel like I need only direct you to his Suitor Suit vignette. This is one of many lines that sparked this half of my headcanon.

❤️ Deuce Spade: bisexual trans guy (he/him)

This headcanon honestly rubbed off on me from my boyfriend. He's a bi trans guy who projects heavily on Deuce, so I basically absorbed his thoughts and ideas through osmosis. I honestly kinda just want to direct you to this post of his because his Deuce takes are so perfect I have nothing to add to them. I love you sukeban girl gang delinquent Deuce. I love you Deuce who is attracted to anyone who could beat him up. Unlike Riddle, I think Deuce is on T by the time he's enrolled at Night Raven. This is partially because I think his mom would be way more supportive than Riddle's would be.

❤️ Trey Clover: cis gay guy (he/him)

Back at it again with my Treyrid agenda! I really enjoy seeing and writing relationships between cisgender gay guys and transgender gay guys, since I personally feel that there's a strong sense of gender euphoria to be found in that situation: for someone who likes men to see you fully as a man and be attracted to you as a man. All that's to say that my headcanon for Riddle has heavily influenced the way I view Trey as well, since their relationship is one I'm extremely attached to. I don't really have any specific support or evidence for this one. Like with Ace, it's sorta just the vibes I get from him. Trey is like the epitome of that "I'm not gay enough for the gays" Reddit post to me.

❤️ Cater Diamond: bisexual & nonbinary (they/he)

I'm so sorry that like 3/5 of these headcanons have just been me going "it's about the vibes" instead of properly explaining them. Sometimes for me it truly is just about the vibes, and Cater gives me the vibes of someone who doesn't fuck with either side of the gender binary. I do think they still present as mostly masc and tend to avoid more traditionally feminine clothes and accessories due to trauma involving their older sisters, but I also don't really think they fully click with the idea of manhood either. They're literally just hanging out. Also, I may not be fully informed on this given that I only play on the EN server, but isn't bisexual Cater basically confirmed in the JP version? I've seen a lot of posts supporting it, so like... is it even a headcanon at this point?

~Send me a 🏳️‍🌈 and a character name for my gender/sexuality headcanons!~
