Finally... My Shit Squad Pirates

I felt like painting fabric and textures

not to get all "it's ok for girls to be feminine!" but like. it's fine if ralsei's a feminine trans girl. i think she, particularly, needs that. but what she also needs -- honestly, even more than femininity -- is the chance to be mean and rude. she deserves to mouth off to people. to give death threats, even, like she did with flowery. to be completely nice is to hold herself back.

THIS. this is why she's seemingly reverted back to being sillygoofy. it's a facade. she is shoving her emotions down and trying to be the rock for ralsei and kris to lean on.

she's trying to preserve the good times, should they get ripped away by the final prophecy. to have something good to look back on, in case the worst case scenario comes and she (likely) has to sacrifice herself. which...

... seems all too likely.

she reassures her friends that they will find a way to break the prophecy, and gerson encourages her to as well, but. does she really, truly believe she can?

she boldly and brazenly stated her intention to take noelle with her to the festival in chapter 4, but i believe it was the final prophecy that gave her the motivation to finally, really, pursue her affections for noelle. it could have just been a cute date, a fun teenage memory to look back on...

... but what if her time's running out?

what if she can't stop the final prophecy from happening?

she needs to tell noelle how she feels...

... before it all comes crashing down.
