all “this character-who-is-canonically-presented-as-male is actually a closeted transgender woman” headcanons/theories/truthing exist on a spectrum from “that’s… probably transphobic” to “whatever the hell is going on with shu itsuki enstars”

Experiencing a reverse “English is the porn language” where I’ve discovered that I absolutely can not do selfship Y/N yumejo stuff in English but am perfectly fine doing it in Japanese.

writing an "idol anime; a history" thing will have you being like "does an idol anime have to star idols? and can an anime star idols and not be an 'idol anime'?"

(because, like, you can draw a straight line of descent from idolmaster---->utapri---->utapri descendants---->hypmic, where obviously hypmic does not star idols, but you can obviously see the shared influences and tropes and the "we, king records, are encouraging our audience to relate to these characters as they would IRL idols" thing, whereas something like perfect blue may star idols, but is fully outside that chain of descent and any attempt to analyze it through that lens will result in some truly bonkers conclusions)

I don’t think any creator will ever outdo Osamu Tezuka in terms of how utterly fucking crazymaking (to me) his treatment of Queer Stuff (tm) is, but Hideo Kojima is a close second.
