thinking about the stable time loops. the constant awareness of exactly who you're going to have to become because they're literally right there beside you. that's future you. that's going to be you. you can't escape your fate.
there's just. something about that plus how dave's brother tried to raise her to be just like. a mini version of him.
more thoughts about the stable time loops. what are they used for? the lohac stock exchange and the frog breeding. business (symbol of masculinity, as VERY clearly established by john's dad) and reproduction (specifically helping jade with the frog breeding).
the horrors of the stable time loops are the feeling of being trapped by a future that was predetermined and forced onto you and seemingly inescapable according to skaia (societal expectations). and what is that dreaded future for dave? being a cis man.
transfem dave strider. qed.
oh also the third thing the stable time loops were used for was fighting in the exact same style as bro strider. which. do I even have to elaborate or is this as obvious as I think it is
