It really weirds me out when people hc Shu as trans, especially transfem, because if that were true he’d be a completely different character.
If he was transmasc, that implies that he’s AFAB. This in turn means that the whole point of his childhood, that being that he was shunned and bullied by his peers and even family members for being a boy and liking “girl” things, wouldn’t even exist because he would’ve been confirming to gender norms the whole time.
If he was transfem, it would make that whole point of his personal journey/story about defying gender norms completely moot. You’d just end up shoving him right back into the box that the whole purpose of his character is set to break, and that’s not a good thing from a storytelling perspective.
I’ve seen a fair handful of people celebrating that he’s “officially implied transfem” after Raison D’etre, and that simply isn’t true. His grandfather is the one being implied to be trans. The way Shu interprets the story of his grandfather is one of two men, and in the play him and Mika put on that’s how it’s portrayed. This is because Shu was looking to relate to the story, contrary to Mika who was looking for the “truth”.
Shu has never been trans, nor has that ever been implied to be the case, he’s always just been gender-non-conforming. I see it as somewhat inherently invalidating to his canon identity to try and push the idea that he’s transfem just because he likes dolls and dresses (especially since most of the people in this fandom seem that have pretty progressive mindsets, so you’d think that a canonically GNC cis character would be well received), regardless of the fact that unlike someone like Arashi he has never expressed a want to actually become a woman.
The same concept would apply to Hajime as well, and I think in his case in particular it’s worth noting that he actively has said he dislikes being seen as a girl, and yet people will still have those transfem headcanons. This is not me trying to say I’m against that type of hc in general, it just frustrates me when it’s used on a character where it actively goes against who they are.

Saw this tag and wanted to assure possible readers that I am super super careful about pre-warnings! I have this note tacked on explaining how I manage overly sensitive content at the start of the fic;
Most of the tags come from off-screen mentions, implications, or said in passing by the characters. Any and all actual depictions of the graphic tags are skippable and isolated in their own chapters. I'd say this one focuses more on artistic depictions and symbolic imagery versus actual dead dove - do not eat. Sometimes one is harder to stomach than the other, but rest assured it's not terrible <3 But it's totally fine if themes like that in general are not up your alley! If you want to give it a try tho, I go overboard with pre-warnings of every chapter
some examples of what they look like;

Did I ship Velma and Shaggy in Scooby Doo Myster Incorporated? Yes.
Did I also ship her with Hot Dog Water? Yes.
Do I ship Velma and Coco (?) now too? Yes.
Did I ship her with Daphne? Yes.
Have I also shipped Daphne with Fred my entire life? Absolutely.
Have I always been happy Lesbian Jesus Hayley played Velma? Absolutely.
Do I think the gang would be great as a polygamous ship? Absolutely.
It literally depends on what era/series/movie it is and my mood. I accept everything and deny nothing. I love all of them. I will forever advocate for any of them being any sexuality and/or gender ever. I do not care. I will absorb Scooby Doo concent into my veins. I just love them no matter what. Scooby Doo was my childhood and Daphne was my sexual awakening. That is all.

as much as I agree the PR team are trying to promote the idea of Lokius (something they are almost certainly not going to follow up on)
and as much as I have issues with queer rep in Loki (MAKE HIM GENDERFLUID YOU COWARDS!)
this still isn't queerbaiting, both he and Sylvie are canonically attracted to multiple genders

In case anyone else has the brain worm that makes them want exact details anytime people talk numbers, in Too Much Birthday the offer to buy Kendall out says that he has 12,904,663 shares of Waystar (worth ~2bil at $156/share), so assuming he didn't sell any stock after that and also that Shiv and Roman all had an equal stake, which the show implies, that means that when they sell the company at $192/share in the finale, each of the siblings gets just under $2.5 billion, half of it in Gojo stock, not counting whatever they inherit from Logan.
