When it comes to Sevika works in which she is AMAB (assigned male at birth) or has a penis, it’s very evident that the reasoning behind the conversation is rooted in transphobia rather than an analytical approach and an understanding of queer identities/comprehending Sevika’s own character.

Yes, when it comes to WOC; femininity/womanhood is questioned and even denied, which for Sevika is a recurring issue in the fandom; as well as mischaracterization that shows up in the form of writing her as an abuser, manipulative, etc. Some writers have a habit of coming into the process with the emphasis on her masculinity rather than to approach those traits with grace, genuinity, and educated understanding. I do not find anything wrong with headcanoning Sevika, (or really any character in Arcane) as trans due to Arcane possessing a diverse range of characters with a variety of personality/motivations/backgrounds. But I do find a problem in the way that some writers approach and apply it.

I personally love the headcanon that Sevika is trans due to the ability to add another beautiful layer to her character (how it could influence her self expression, the experience of being trans in Runeterra, family dynamics, etc.) Despite the terminology used, (ex: G!P, girl penis) which IS insensitive due to the objectification of transfem people in regards of physical intimacy and it mainly being a porn category. But it’s also insensitive, shallow, and vile to condemn writers for wanting to include it in their works; INSTEAD of creating an educated conversation about WHY they chose to make her AMAB in their works. I dislike the hypermasculinization/hypersexualization of her character (as any real fan who recognizes her character) and do not find most works that make her AMAB to be a true, authentic reflection of her character who also just happens to have a penis. To me, it’s the same thing as people who infantilize and effeminate Viktor to support the idea of Jayvik being a stereotypical mlm ship in which there’s someone that is ‘more’ feminine/masculine than the other.

As a lesbian who’s versed on queer history, queer issues, and queer life; I could not find in myself to understand why you all speak the way you do in regards to genitalia. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a preference but to go on tangents and make comments in regards on how it’s ‘gross’ and simplifying Sevika down to her private parts (‘why doesn’t she have a pussy/stop giving her a dick’) is horrendous and simple-minded. Trans women deserve respect, reciprocation, subjectification, and representation that is authentic and genuine. Not ostracization, lack of empathy, and rants about how the sexual organs they just happened to be born with are ‘disgusting’.

yandere!jill who invited you over for a drink, in a attempt to finally make you hers

yandere!jill who comforts you as you both sat on her couch while you cry about your friends abandoning you

yandere!jill who holds you tightly in her arms for the first time, afraid you might vanish in thin air and disappear forever

yandere!jill who takes a deep breath of the smell of you, intoxicated by your presence and willing to do anything to get her next hit

yandere!jill who offers you a drink, watching as you wipe your tears and down the entire thing, unaware of your fate

yandere!jill who watches as you become drowsy, speech quickly becoming slurred; a soft hum of ‘M’sleepy…” coming from your lips

yandere!jill who cradles your unconscious body, using her abnormal strength to carry you to her bedroom; cooing in your ear about how much ‘you’d like it here’, in her house, with her

yandere!jill who’s careful with your precious form, restraining you with silk ropes, not wanting to hurt you but is prepared for your attempts to escape; restraining you from all sides

yandere!jill who places a soft kiss on your lips, brushing the hair out of your face
