ooh you should elaborate ooh
( @oklotea ) ( @dollmenace )
why ofc 🤭 with no further ado here are my transfem headcanons & explanations
duchess :
manifesto largely here , here , and here , but I don't ever clarify as to WHY I think she has trans girl energy, so I will elaborate now.
first of all, narrative role of swans in stories. especially in stories like the ugly duckling, where there's an "ugly" kid who is socially outcast, excluded, harassed, and ends up becoming something beautiful like they were always meant to be-- it works really well as a trans metaphor, and duchess is literally a swan <3
but that's not her story! and you'd be right to point that out. to me, there's something about the way she's constantly feeling left out of the other princess groups because she's not a "happily-ever-after princess," the way she's basically dismissed by the princessology teacher by her saying "are you sure you're a real princess?" -- and wanting so desperately to be one.
so she follows around ashlynn, so she yells at apple, so she tears raven to shreds. she is so jealous and I honestly really think that the jealousy translates really well to a sort of gender envy -- especially since she's constantly dismissed by the same girls. she's constantly portrayed as wanting to "steal" their stories, and really all she wants is a happily ever after, the same safety and comfort they get by being a princess. I think the metaphor kind of speaks for itself.
"Seems to me we need to win this thing so you can always be a girl." - Sparrow Hood to Duchess Swan, Next Top Villain
dexter :
manifesto here + also I ADORE @tiny-leafbug's transfem dex art
now I know a lot of people headcanon dex as transmasc, which honestly I can actually fully understand in the context of the show and diaries. the idea that he's constantly trying to perform this paragon of masculinity, and constantly falling short. I get it.
HOWEVER! the books is where I fell in love with dex, and in the books dex's vibe is different. he doesn't care about being a "prince charming," not really, and his relationship with his brother seems much more affectionate, with him responding to daring's ribbing in turn and not really caring about daring making fun of him. this lack of caring makes all that pressure put on his shoulders by his parents seem more like something he never wanted to live up to in the first place. on the boxes, he says -- well, I'm good at hero training. and in the books, raven notices the calluses on his hands, the skill he has in PE class. it's not that he's ever been bad at what his parents what him to do. it's that... he doesn't want to do it.
at some point he says "well ... everyone else has been able to recite their story since they learned to talk, while I'm facing this huge unknown." there's something about this lack of direction and destiny that sets him completely apart from students that need to be a certain thing. all dex ever had to do was be a prince, and still, he wants to rebel. still, he followed raven into the dark. because maybe he didn't want to be a prince at all.
raven said "check you out, totally rocking the prince-to-the-rescue gig," and dexter said "what? no, I mean... that's not really me." - Storybook of Legends
dexter, in the books, is constantly torn between the royals and the rebels, this loyalty he has to the first person that's ever seen him, and daring, who still wants him to be, yknow, him. he is expected, at all times, to perform as his brother, to be his brother. and he doesn't want that. he doesn't want that at all.
“And Prince Dexter Charming?” Kitty smiled hugely. Her smile lingered a moment after she disappeared. She reappeared beside Dexter, holding a broom, which she thrust into his hands. “He might become a wicked witch!”
Dexter looked at the broom, shrugged, and gave a small laugh, glancing over at Raven as if to check what she thought.”
- The Unfairest of Them All
cedar :
I don't have quite as much to say here; this isn't a headcanon I have 24/7, it's just fun to think about
she is constantly talking about how she "wants to be a real girl" and idk there is something trans about that. to me.
“I don’t know what to do,” said Cedar. “Am I supposed to sit with my friends same as always? Or pick a side based on what I want? I’m not a Royal, but then again I do want my destiny, when I’ll be changed from a puppet into a real girl, but then again, I do want others to be able to choose if they don’t like their destiny so… so I don’t know what to do now!” - The Unfairest of Them All
I hope this helped <33

Leviathan transfem headcanons! <3
Here it is, guys! Typing this at 4 am and I gotta get ready for school in an hour LMAO
> So first, he/she pronouns! Bigender Leviathan for the win, love her <3
> She doesn’t mind either set of pronouns, but leans more towards feminine titles and compliments. Call her pretty! Call him ma’am!
> She’ll grow his hair out a good bit, not too long but just enough that it’s still easy to wash
> She’ll use cute headphones as lil’ makeshift headbands for her bangs, though it doesn’t work all that well because there’s still hair falling in her face
> He still dresses the same for the most part, though she’ll probably wear more feminine clothing if Asmo convinces her to dress up
> Also the brothers are so accepting!!
> She acts like she doesn’t like it, but when Asmodeus gives him fashion tips he actually takes it into consideration
> She wouldn’t care much for HRT or any surgery, though if he ever does then he knows he can go to at least one of his brothers for help
> Mc buys her cat-ear headphones that are pink and she’s just... He’s over the moon! It’s a bit stereotypical, but she fuckin’ loves feeling cute!
> He does have clothes that Asmo bought her, like skirts and stuff, and she’ll wear it privately to look at herself
> At some point he does get comfortable enough to leave his room in feminine clothing, and the bros and Mc are complimenting her and she’s just so <3333
> Again, she loves feeling cute! Ruri Hana definitely helped him realize this
> He’ll put on eyeliner if she’s feelin’ like it or if Asmodeus puts it on her
> Asmo is getting mentioned a lot but like, he’s Levi’s number one supporter!!
> No name change for her, but more fem nicknames are accepted!
> Call him ViVi and he’ll stop working altogether
> She’ll start acting more cutesy if she feels comfortable, and it makes her so happy!
> If you date him, introduce him as your girlfriend! She’ll get so flustered!
> There’s a few odd things that give her gender euphoria, one of those is walking in the door first- I imagine the ‘Ladies first’ thing is what she things about
> HAIRCLIPS!! HARAJUKU HAIRCLIPS!! She’ll start wearing those and she’s surprisingly good at the aesthetic?!
> Get her a Ruri Hana hairband and she’ll start pulling his hair back, it’s not really long enough to do that but it’s so cute! Like the front pieces are falling out and it’s a bit messy in the back
> The brothers keep switching between referring to Levi as their “Brother” and “sister” and it confuses strangers so much
> Pride pin!!! She gets a pride pin, or you get one for her, and he’ll wear it on his jacket!
All in all, Levi is still Levi. Our silly ol’ otaku! We love transfem Leviathan in this house <3333

nonexhaustive male characters i've interpreted as transfem when i was little:
-pleakley (i mean. the interpretation is THERE, i still kinda interpret her as a straight trans woman)
-kamek (because of the maiden/mother/crone trope and i assumed she was the crone)
-marluxia (specifically genderfluid and bisexual transfem)

Soooo about transfem Satan-
Can ya tell me more? 👀
I WAS WAITING FOR YOU >:]
Transfem Satan headcanons!
She'd be more in the nonbinary zone, but prefers she/her over other pronouns
Maybe genderfluid? Maybe something else? She's having a crisis over here!!
Does prefer she/her though! She sees herself as a woman (but also not? But also woman? A woman out of the woman zone?? Please! Give this girl a break!!! A sexuality crisis is enough /j)
Unlike our bbg Leviathan, she doesn't grow her hair out! Or at least not as much, maybe a little more so that the ends with frame her face
THE CUTE!!! CAT!! HAIRCLIP!! She has a specific one she likes (might be from MC) but she also has a few. She doesn't go overboard like Leviathan and keeps it to one.
Her normal outfit ALREADY screams transfem LIKE THE SWEATER??? She doesn't need to change at ALL
Call her Sadie or Tanny, she'll be blushing for days just thinking about it
She already had cat bookmarks, but gives up hiding the really cute ones because at this point the gender crisis is more exhausting than her siblings teasing her for a bookmark /hj
Unlike Leviathan as well, she prefers pants. She's more comfortable with her legs covered, but also might wear a skirt over leggings with a sweater <3
IM NOT BEING STEREOTYPICAL BTW, THESE CHARACTERS IM WRITING TRANSFEM HEADCANONS OF BOTH CANONLY ENJOY CUTE THINGS and I'm just adding to that!
More likely to go on HRT, and just imagine complimenting her on her transition <333 like DAMN Mc has that trans rizz /j
AGAIN!! SUPPORTIVE!! SIBLINGS!! I would write more about that but my soda is SO fucking good rn so I'll end it here
NEVERMIND Leviathan and Satan probably use neos to express how they experience their gender <33333 more on that? :think: Maybe.
