Why I hate trans ralsei

This theory instantly falls apart when Toby literally says at your face "You don't have all the information, or you're interpreting it in a way I didn't intend." In the recent newsletter

https://www.tumblr.com/brikkets/tagged/all%20of%20your%20theories%20are%20wrong%20goodbye

I don't find your arguments convincing.

Sure, in a vacuum, that makes sense, but consider Ralsei's whole character arc. He starts out with a belief that he's nothing more than a servant to the other 2 heroes, and it takes him several Chapters of questioning himself to start letting go of it and developing his own personality, because he internalized it so deeply. At this point in the game, it should be pretty clear that he enjoys wearing a dress and calling himself a princess for his own sake. Just look at his reactions:

"Nah bro..."

Ralsei looking down at his feet with a shy face

"Of course!":

+

* But, it's fun to try new things, isn't it...?
* ... as long as it's... what other people want, of course!

Like, come on. This is the most blatant attempt to justify one's actions using the worldview ingrained into them. This is equivalent to "relax bro, I'm doing it ironically for a video".

Flowery is a jackass, but he isn't evil. He's constantly characterized as a person who knows way too much and won't shut up about it. It'd make more sense for him to have no filter and push on Ralsei's biggest anxiety (like he's been doing the entire Chapter) than to make up a fact about a fundamental aspect of his identity and gaslight him about it. Especially considering Ralsei responds to him with projection and not confusion:

:goat: * You're just... pretending to be something you're not!

:sunflower: * Oh? Ralsei, wanna tell them what's wrong with that?

:goat: * I-It's...
:goat: * It's your PURPOSE to be a flower!
:goat: * You... can't run from that.

I don't really have an opinion on the transgender Ralsei theory. I will not agree nor disagree with the theory until it is proven canon.

i mean uhh

i try to disprove any way possible

but uhh

ngl that doesnt even sound like something that disproves it

i'm calling it right now: truther is gonna see the title, not even care about any of the pro-trans things wizard has said or the points he made and call wizard transphobic

who dat

honestly I’m kinda split on it, yes, I think trans ralsei would be really cool IF true and I do kinda want it to be true, but on the other hand, yes, it would make the team all non-men, and yes, it would ruin Susie and Ralsei going against gender norms.
For now, I think it’s a really cool HEADCANON, until proven in chapter 6/7.

i think I don't like this theory just because ralsei doesn't have to be trans. I played through the entire chapter 5 except for a few little bits and nothing jumped out at me. idk if i was just seeing it wrong or what?

maybe guys can wear skirts and dresses and be feminine??

Perchance
:friend:

maybe i'm just biased because I'm a trans guy who loves skirts/dresses but feels that he can't wear them because it will invalidate my identity in other's eyes

so i love seeing feminine men like ralsei because i'm like omg that's me, that's so me

and ralsei being trans would get rid of that for me

:friend: :+1:

RC: that could be said about any theory :widesusie:

... Is there a reason why Blue does not come up at all in discussions when discussing gnc men in Deltarune?

well no, because Noelle already has an unused title for Chapter 5 in the files. Hers is Mistletoe.

LV5 Mistletoe
Things got
serious today.

Kris' title in the same point of story where Ralsei gets the 'Dark Thorn' title is Dark Rose:

Dark Rose
Conveys departure.

Saying that a title Could have been applied to anyone does not mean it /did/ apply to everyone.

People have already discussed the drastic difference in reaction between the 'nah bro' and the encouraging option, so I won't get into that, but I will say that when combined with Ralsei's response to the Mannequin with the blue dress ("Um, the d-dress is cute...") (which in the context of Undertale is heavily associated with self-expression incl. Mettaton who is one of the most on-the-nose transmasc characters on the planet and Dress Lion.)

I really don't think you can 'the curtains are just blue' out of this one when there is other stuff that directly relates to Ralsei personhood and the usage of they/them...?

Flowery IS a jackass to Ralsei, I will not argue that point, but I feel like when Flowery's self-described motive for ragebaiting Ralsei is "* This whole time, I was doing it thinking... it'd help you realize you could be happy.", and when combined with the Summer Newsletter "The golden flower, “Gold”, was able to become his own “Mary Sue” character in the form of “Flowery”." stuff, it starts feeling a little uh... pointed in terms of Flowery pointing out Ralsei self-determination? ^_^;??

hoppy bday to thou

It's actually not my wiki birthday anymore.
Still thanks :heart:

correct opinion
unfortunetly I do not have the correct opinion and will continue to support opposing evidence
:P

WAIT THIS IS A GREAT IDEA
AS A PART OF THE PROFILE THING YOU COULD CHOOSE AN EMOJI TO JUST GO NEXT TO YOUR NAME (in addition to the cake)
