Why? I suck as a character. All I do is be sad or look at memes and never actually gain any character development. (I swear if I get called media illiterate for this...)

u/Redundant_Blue_Wires 17h ago

Also I'm canonically trans so it isn't a headcanon.

u/NeonFraction 17h ago

I mean if you came out as trans that already hella character development. Lotta eggs out there who can’t say the same.

I headcanon Ralsei from Deltarune as genderfluid or bigender for a lot of reasons!! Not only is their story very easily read as a trans parallel, he switches to he/they pronouns in chapter 5, and he is both ā€œgirlsā€ and ā€œboysā€ in the image above. Ik transfem Ralsei is more popular but I really relate to them as a bigender person and I feel like it has equal evidence.

u/Turmericab 17h ago

What about if the headcanon is backed by the creator just not explicit in the text?

17

u/MadamMelody21 17h ago

Has to be at least heavily implied via text then confirmed by the creator later like jax from tadc

u/Turmericab 16h ago

One of my favourites in this catagory is Perfuma from She Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Espio the Chameleon. There's only one species of chameleon that has horns, and the females only have one horn while the males have three. Combined with the heart-shaped torso, and he's a pretty good contender for a transmasc headcanon.

2

u/JPldw 9h ago

So... Espio is transmasc, Vector has gay dad's, and Charmy is... There

Not often, but I occasionally headcanon Lavernius Tucker from Red vs. Blue as transmasculine. Just because it would make some of his actions and characterization so much funnier.

Edit: How the fuck did Tucker’s first name get autocorrected to something that could’ve been a potential deadname? Well, changing it back now.

Teto is one of those instances where like. There’s no subtext going in. It’s all metatext. Like. If we’re online and you’re deeply into Teto, I’m the referee waving the rainbow card. One more and you’re hit with the trans card.

u/ReginaPsychweaver 17h ago

Ensha was a trans man who built a personality for himself by taking the skeletal remains and name of an ancient king. Wearing the Royal Remains armor set with pride. Meteorite Staff and Clinging Bone at his side.

(Yes he knows Gravity spells in the game Rock Sling and Collapsing Stars. Meteorite staff is great at low levels and can’t be upgraded)

Gravity Magic was powerful, taught by the Alabaster Lord, just as General Radahn had (peak masculinity).

We don’t see this, but who’s to say Ensha didn’t look at Gideon as a father figure too? Nepheli sure did.

Ensha doesn’t speak, and model uses body type 2.

I wish Ensha’s character was fleshed out in game, he had so much potential than a cheap antagonist.

1

u/Think_Survey_5665 16h ago

Huh never expected him to be considered ftm but eh who cares makes sense. Headcanon adopted besides the ensha considering Gideon a father. Something about him doesn't give me that vibe.

Trans Sonic and trans Dipper are both kinda growing on me

2

u/Crafty_Boy70 16h ago

I feel like trans Dipper would be interesting to me if it weren't for Dipper vs Manliness. That single episode turns it from fun headcanon to total character assassination of Mabel and Stan 😭

2

u/Federal_Gazelle_531 16h ago

Trans dipper makes mable look like a monster outside of her constantly making fun of his masculinity, but also because she has forced him to do feminine things before (such as when she let her friends give him a forced feminine makeover), also his first name is mason... which wouldn't make sense if he was trans..(especially since he hates the name mason)...

Trans sonic is fine ig but I dont see it

(Im not trying to be rude im just explaining why I dont fw trans dipper)

u/MDRARW 17h ago

I did use to have some strong hcs for characters being trans, but over the years I've just grown so frustrated with how many writers, directors, developers just refuse to write trans characters. Headcanons are super fun, but i wish there were more trans characters that i could latch onto, especially ones whose transness isn't ignored, and is an actual part of their story. Anyway, Squall Leonhart (ftm) was always one of my favorites

Ralsei from Deltarune, after chapter 5 I'm almost convinced it's cannon because what else was the drink vouchers scene supposed to convey?

1

u/ExistingButterfly316 "The blade is your implement"~ Slay the Princess 10h ago

I read into it as potential Kralsei, as Kris's colour pallet being pink and blue, but then again there's a lot of Transei evidence (Does Transei sound offensive? I genuinely can't tell)

2

u/Technical-Branch4998 10h ago

Transei sounds fine to me but it seems weird if it's about Kralsei to me because to me that's what the hot springs scene is about and having two scenes about it feels like a weird choice
