I get people enjoy Decay Andrew as this ravenous animal just waiting to snap (and it is very fun in an angsty way), but it just makes me so, so sad and depressed.

Not even just how it's murder-suicide tragic romance, but how it's Andrew giving into a misogynistic scapegoating of Ashley, blaming her solely for all his problems and lashing out; all the Decay art emphasizes Andrew's masculinity and his violence, strength over Ashley.

Hell, the only art that emphasizes his Adam's apple is in the Decay route!

Even outside of my personal reading of Andrew as a trans fem egg, like, it's just sad seeing a very unique kind of de-twink-ification happen :(

#he's a dorky literature nerd with zero close male friends who presents very androgynously #but on the other hand has very ingrained misogyny and terribly wifebeater coded #casual violence and literally using a girl just to be a replacement sister #awful awful awful #transitioning could've saved her #hell just platonic burial even shows just letting a little bit of real self out before bottling it back up is salvation enough #which makes decay so so depressing #anyway #andrew graves #the coffin of andy and leyley #tcoaal #the gender of andy and leyley
