Hello! I was wondering but... what do you think about gender-bend Octavinelle?

I mean… I don’t have much to comment on for general genderbend AUs other than the characters’ physical appearance would be different? I don’t think much else change about most characters, because gender doesn’t necessarily equate to personality. It really depends on the individual interpretations of the AU; that's what gives it charm and makes it fun.

I guess that since Octavinelle are more “animalistic” (ie half fish), they’d perhaps have more aggressive personalities (since I believe that at least female octopuses sometimes kill their mates and eat them)? I don’t know if the change would be that significant though, since Octavinelle is already pretty aggressive in their business tactics. I certainly have a difficult time imagining Azul as that aggressive (or some human equivalent of it), especially considering that (s)he and Jade try to keep up a veneer of professionalism.

For the most part, Jade would still be Jade but just perceived as a “refined lady” instead of a “refined gentleman” before she backstabs you. Floyd would still be Floyd and probably not give a rat’s ass about who sees her acting “unladylike”. I also see the twins’ preferences for how they wear their clothes carrying over; Jade is all proper and tidy, Floyd is messy, carefree, and experimental. Azul would try to capitalize on her cuteness to convince desperate simps to hand her their money (idk, selling octopus bath water or finally getting into streaming as a source of revenue like he said he wanted to explore in episode 6).

I like seeing the different designs people come up with for genderswaps, but I guess my preference for fem!Octavinelle would be with long hair?? Just because long hair gives the nice imagery of a mermaid’s hair pooling and fanning out in the water, it’s so mesmerizing to watch.
