#obv they look different ages because of miquella's curse but they're twins

[benevolentslut]

wait i just had a theory

#so. malenia and miquella are twins right #obv they look different ages because of miquella's curse but they're twins #what if. #what if they were originally identical twins #and malenia is trans #and also her hair turned red from the scarlet rot's influence but it was naturally the same blonde as miquella #im headcanoning this now you can't change my mind #'but you see her naked and she clearly doesn't have-' that area is covered in rot scars obv it rotted off #the outer god of rot gave her free bottom surgery ig lol #hey with the way the golden order is it adds more to why her family didn't give a shit about her being cursed by the scarlet rot #they're just transphobic #that's in character considering they locked away two of their children for being born with horns #doesn't surprise me that they'd look at malenia coming out and just go 'oh well shame about that rot that's gonna kill you' #adds in even more reasoning for miquella to be outraged at them neglecting her situation #and deciding to form his own society where he accepts and cares for all the people shunned by the golden order #yeah no okay this started out half as a joke hc but i think im gonna die on this hill now #malenia is trans and that's that #ALSO adds more reason to why malenia is so devoted to her brother #he's the only one from her family that accepted her #yes in canon he's the only one who tried to help her with the rot (and his success is what earned him his title/nickname) #and that's plenty reason why she would be #but this works out in my mind
