So in a way, is there a difference between headcanoning frisk/chara as girls or boys and headcanoning them as trans/nonbinary if it's all headcanon in the end anyway and everyone is equally wrong?
yes there's a difference because arbitrarily deciding that canon established neutrality is something that you get to override and is automatically more "debatable" than a character being established as male or female is a very obvious double standard.
interpreting them as nonbinary is only a way to translate their neutrality while assuming that the rest of their race thinks of gender as we do in real life. it doesn't change anything about how the character is referred to. rather, it preserves it. headcanoning them as a boy or a girl throws aside their neutrality entirely as irrelevant and "arbitrary". for what. YOUR discomfort?
while i might not think the characters in the text itself are trans, this attitude REALLY speaks to people's ignorance and weirdness around trans people in real life. because outside the game, real gender neutral people exist and they ARE, of course, transgender. someone who has gender neutral and nonbinary friends and is normal about it is not going to scramble to immediately fit any neutral characters back into the gender binary like a fucking 5 year old. because for someone who isn't transphobic, neutrality is just another way for human beings to exist.
anyway how many gendered characters are there out there? how many textually neutral ones, to compare? go play with another one of your billions of toys, if not retconning an entire character is sow hawd fow u
tldr: yes. kiss my ass

I think the worst part of Nanami's death animated wasn't even his death itself, it was seeing the utter pain and helplessness of Yuuji as he realized what was happening. The way he screams his name? The way he runs to him? The way he screams at Mahito right after? That absolutely destroyed me.

Tiktok algorhytm is giving me nothing but Hazbin Hotel since January started, and I gotta ask, what is this obsession with "who is the strongest character", like a bunch of teen boys watching Dragon Ball Z for the first time
You're watching a musical show about hell, who watching that kind of show cares about power levels???

the funniest thing about Thomas' crush on Alison is I'm 1000% sure that if they could date, Thomas would decidedly Not have a good time.
Like Alison is silly, she's goofy, she's a lil gremlin. And also she's down-to-Earth unlike him.
Thomas would compose his poems and verses and Alison would not get them, would not even see the point in all that flowery language. And Thomas would be so upset about it (just like with the plague ghosts).
And then he'd do some over the top romantic gestures like fill an entire room with roses and Alison would awkwardly be like "that's a bit too much, don't you think?" She's a simple woman, she doesn't need all of That. He'd want to go for loberster when she'd rather just eat frozen pizza.
And that's nobody's fault, they're just so fundamentally imcompatible. I feel like the only real cure for Thomas' infatuation would be actually trying to date and within a week, he'd be done with it.
