#cos on the surface onagawa seems to be more emotionally open and watari seems to be more closed off

[boimgfrog]

My reasons for hcing Onagawa as trans: deep, thought out theories on how he experiences gender, timeline of Realization events that match up with the canon timeline, self projection sprinkled on top for flavor

My reasons for hcing watari as trans: he looks up to that yakuza movie guy a lot idk

#pls can you tell i play favorites #no its a bit deeper than that #watari obviously struggles a lot with balancing societys notions of 'manliness' against his own more emotional nature #i also think its interesting how he prefers yakuza movies with a sad ending #if i was gonna english major him i'd probably connect the death of the manly archetype to the metaphorical death of his own #preconceived notions of masculinity #but i think thats kind of a stretch #at least with what we understand now #also i just love the dichotomy of onagawa and watari #cos on the surface onagawa seems to be more emotionally open and watari seems to be more closed off #*but* when you actually pay attention to how they react to things #watari is much more open with his emotions and feels them deeply an onagawa seems to have a select few emotions he allows himself to express #its a kinnie moment #i rly wanna write a fic abt them can you tell #bakuten
