being a big fan of gender selectable and/or gender ambiguous characters is so hard because everyone defaults to calling them a guy all the time and it's like. i GUESS that's correct. i guess. you're perfectly free to decide that because that's the point of gender being choosable and im not one to dictate how you play or interpret your playthroughs or opinions on the game. im still gonna fucking kill you though.

#being a guy with a nonbinary durge trying to read analysis and fanworks is painful. yeah the default is a male dragonborn but like.#Give Me Something Here Dear Lord #yin-thoughts #i feel the same way about doctor arknights but if anything that's even worse bc they're not even a player insert #they're just an already existing person the player occupies the position of like a meatsuit. their gender is Doctor #i can only presume this is how undertale fans feel abt frisk and chara and kris (is an undertale fan and already knows the feeling)#idk how to express this. there's a difference between a character being canonically nonbinary and just like #having their gender decided by the player's own interpretation #and durge technically Isn't canonically nonbinary. but they ARE gender selectable. and there is a difference between canon durge and like #the durge you can make in the character creator on a durge route. but it's still always Really Jarring to see them default to being he/him #yknow?#this is all unrelated to my previous post btw this came to mind as an unrelated thought
