I was half asleep and thinking about all the stories like She’s The Man and Mulan (1999) where a woman dresses up like a man in order to do something ManlyTM and how they all inevitably fall in love with the masculinity of it all while still being women (or not, I guess, fiction is flexible and gender is more so)
and I went “give me a man who chooses to dress as a woman instead of resorting to violence. Give me a man who, in finding femininity and softness, can find himself. Give me a man who chooses kindness and love over war and aggression, but the only way he can do so is finding solace in the feminine. Not because femininity is inherently softer, but because society has told him as such. Give me a man who, through trial and error, finds himself learning to love the traditional women’s tasks he’s been clumsily attempting. Give me a man who could never truly fit in with other men, and the women around him protect him and love him unconditionally. Give me a man who cannot stand for himself at first, and then rises stronger together with the people who took him in”
And I realized that “give me a man who dresses as a woman in order to avoid going to war” is just. Achilles. And I want that classically animated movie now. I don’t even care if it’s sanitized like the Disney Renaissance Mulan or Hercules, in fact I’d enjoy that. I want Achilles to choose kindness and love and beauty over the war he never wanted to fight. I want a lighthearted, playful version of Achilles where there’s a happy ending. I know it’s a tragedy, but so were a lot of things that got animated at the time (not even Disney, Anastasia and Quest for Camelot come to mind as well) and I think he and Patroclus can have a happily ever after, too
I also want it to be gay, but I think that goes without saying

a couple of the characters that oppose the main party are poc so inevitably you get white fans posting violent tweets about them but preface it with “man” or “twink”. maybe this is to be expected of a series inspired by tolkien works

[ID: Two digital drawings of Gwen Bouchard and Lena Kelley on gray backgrounds. Each image has a bust and a full body drawing of each of them. Gwen is a slim white woman with long blonde hair in a high ponytail, and she is wearing silver earrings, a white button down and grey off-the-shoulder sweater with the sleeves rolled up, a black pencil skirt, grey tights, black heeled booties, and a lanyard with an ID card on it. Her expression is annoyed-leaning neutral and in her full body drawing her fists are balled.
Lena is a slim white woman with long dirty-blonde hair and she is wearing oval silver glasses on a chain, a red button down with the sleeves rolled up, white wide-leg trousers, a light brown belt, and red dress shoes. She has an ID card hanging from her shirt pocket. She is frowning and her hands are held behind her back in her full body drawing. end ID]
