#so him wearing this dress likely wouldn't read as super fem or super masc

[bambiraptorx]

I am once again putting Draxum in a dress, this time on based on 1920s flapper dresses.

[I.D. Draxum from ROTTMNT. He has one hand on his hip, the other hand held up in a loose fist. He looks off to the side and frowns, pinning his ears back slightly. He is wearing a blueish purple sleeveless mid-thigh length dress that has a serrated hem lined with silver fringe and silver patterns across the dress, as well as a thin headband with a feather and several beads coming off of it. The waist area of the dress has several large silvery circles, the middle one being the largest and the others diminishing in size as they go farther from the center. Draxum has several scars on his arms and legs, as well as pale, lightning-like patterns reaching from his fingertips to halfway down his forearms. The background is pale pink and features a dark grey art noveau pattern, which is filled in around the edges with blue, purple, orange, red, and yellowish green. End I.D.]

Part 3! Read part 1 here! And part 2 here!

Episode 5! This epiosde was so cute! Its so nice to see them all getting to know each other and having fun! And of course they can still mange to seek some trans coded Mome!

Ai's mother: "Oh, my! Aren't you Mr. Sawaki's...?

Momoe: "Momoe Sawaki. I'm his niece"

Ai's mother: "what a pretty young"

This literally asking pronouns introduction, which many trans people love! Ai's mother doesn't say "are you Mr. Sawaki's nephew/niece?", she instead lets Momoe introduce herself and state that she is his niece. And state that she is a girl, and Ai's mother says that she is a pretty girl, omg, you're the best! More trans coding and trans interactions!

"If you were a guy, I'd want to date you."

Omg Rika stop being so horny on main, go to horny jail *Bonk*. Any way, Momoe is still uncomfortable when Rika says that, its like a "ha, thanks" *dies inside* moment. She is happy for the compliment but still doesn't like being compared to a boy. Which as you can guess, is something trans women experience, or any trans person experience. Especially around cis people who know nothing, they try and remind the other person they aren't who they get mistaken for. Such as this line with Momoe, "if you were a guy", "if", and then be like "but you're not". Common pre-transition, trans experience? Definitely trans coding!

"Haruka was willing to see me as a girl."

Does this one really need spelling out? "See her as a girl", if she was cis, wouldn't people see her as a girl? Yes, she doesn't pass as a girl, cis or not, but people are way more accepting a cis women as a women than a trans women. Geez, even the t*rfs who watched this show saw Momoe as a girl, as they thought she was cis.

So very little people willing to see her as a girl, Haruka was, her mother kinda does. Her mother lets her have a girly bedroom and attend an all girls school, she also calls her "momo-chan" momo can be short for momoe or momotaro. "Chan" is used with family, small children, friends and sometimes women. But then why does she still wear masc clothing? maybe she is butch? doesn't have alot of fem clothing (which is true she has like, one dress). I think it could be her fathers influence? We haven't seen him on screen yet, it was only her and her mother eating at the table. We know he probably exists; Ai stated that she and rika are the only ones with single mothers. He could be more conservative? Maybe? And bargained with her that she she could be fem in private and attend an all girls school as long as she isn't fem in public or something? We also know that Mr. Sawaki probably accepts her as he is a School Councillor, and would be more open to sexualities and gender identities. Also when Ai's mother says to Mr. Sawaki that she met his niece, he doesn't say that she isn't a girl instead he just carries on the conversation. So much trans coding! Wow, I infered all that from one line? My English teachers would be proud!

We don't get much Momoe content in episode 6, as its mainly focusing on Ai's feelings for Mr. Sawaki. But the writer still give us a single sprinkle!

"They're super cute!" Both Momoe and Rika say this in union, just pointing our she still really likes cute and fem things and obviously wants more fem things. (Just like in the ending pic!) Boom trans coding!

In the next 3 epiosdes we don't get much, mainly beacuse in epiosde 7 they deal with Rikas trauma, the epiosde 8 was a recap and episode 9 focused on Neiru.

"Maybe I'm not cut out for female society"

This line is said by Neiru who is talking about how she doesn't fit into stereotypical female behaviour. She says she talks to logically, compared to other girls. I like how this is said to Momoe, another person who doesn't stereotypically fit into "female society" either it be beacuse she is GNC or is Trans. It works either way.

Then, even though the gang is together, we still don't get much time for them to explore/ hint at Momoe being trans, but they still kinda mange too!

"Yesterday, Rika and I got worked up talking about fun things to do."

Omg that is so cute! This isn't as trans coding as much as everything else, but it was still a cute way of saying Momoe finds it fun to do fem things. She even wants to go to school for it. I also love the idea that Rika, an idol, who is used to wearing make up and being overall fem, helping Momoe learn make up and stuff. That would be so cute! Or Momoe has practiced alot for what ever reason and teacher Rika, and Rika lets her beacuse she knows it makes Momoe happy. Omg!!!

Then that leaves us with the latest episode, I want to make a post all on its own, so I'll do that later. Bye for now!
