When Harry got called a "f*gari", I was like yo what an exotic slur
transgender lesbian hdb
actually you could ABSOLUTELY make that read, given his relationship to masculinity (viewing it very consistently as like, punishment and a prison) and his body and trying to escape his old identity and even his name. though you can't read him as a lesbian, he very clearly likes dudes. bisexual trans woman hdb
hdb is her deadname, though
And if the world can't accept Raphaël Ambrosius is your name -- you will always be Detective Costeau to yourself. R.A. Costeau -- sophisticated culture-detective. Specializes in ancient things and art.
yeah, that's what i'm saying. trying to escape your own name and body and identity and constantly thinking about your agab like that?
I sincerely headcanon Harry (Harriet?) as a closeted/pre-realisation trans woman tbh. Also, remember that they lost all their memories at the start of the game, so there's nothing to say that Harry wasn't a closeted trans woman pre memory wipe. (Similarly with Harry's sexuality crisis, nothing to say that they didn't already understand themselves as bisexual before they lost their memories)
real. I never looked in the mirror because of this headcanon.
