Yes, I made an official list off all of the children Grimm conceived in Wonderland so that there’s no confusion. Yeah, the concept is gross, but seriously bro, the plot point on this is actually so freaking interesting and cool.

I imagine the oldest to youngest are Bill, Margaret, Dodo, Walrus, Griffy, Mocky, Shisha, Hatta, Mary, Haigha, Dum, Dee then Dormouse because awkward oldest sibling Bill just fits so well with me.

Bill's Agony

I'm posting for, like, the first time in years because no one follows me here and I'm afraid of posting about Black Souls on Twitter. I don't want my acquaintances, friends, and followers to check out the game only to be greeted by. Y'know. Black Souls. I don't wanna be cancelled or make someone uncomfortable!! 😖

Anyways! I really want to do an analysis of Lizard Bill from Black Souls II through a gender theory lens because not only is Bill incredibly dysphoric and uncomfortable in her skin in Wonderland, but she's one of the only characters that's aware of the loops based on their dialogue in Ending G. She's a formless Eldritch being forced into a flesh prison that she hates, unable to be herself without the outside intervention of Yig/Francis Liddell, and even then, it isn't enough to curb the dysphoria. She want bottom surgery, she wants others to accept her for who she is, she wants to just heckin' be a girl.

The Crawling One created Wonderland so that Grimm would breed with the Outer Ones over and over again, strengthening their numbers as he stumbles through twisted love story after twisted love story. Yet, through each cycle, only Bill is forced to be Different, denied her gender identity over and over again. I wish I could ask Toro about Bill, but I doubt they've put that much thought into it. I hope they're at least aware of the queerness of the character.

I know a lot of the fandom is toxic and awful about Bill's gender identity because haha trans people haha tr*ps, so it's not like I can have discussions about her in English-speaking Black Souls fan communities. Some trans people on Twitter seem to have started fw Black Souls, so maybe a Not Awful community will form soon and I can discuss gender theory without being called slurs.

Be nice to the cute lizard Eldritch horror and give her lots of estradiol and prog 🥰

I had never heard of such a thing before, so I had to do my research...

I still have a bit of trouble understanding the entire ethos of this peculiar movement...it appears to be about self-harm and stuff? I don't know...but they really do look good in those outfits. I've always enjoyed dresses and masks, so I might have to try something in the vain of this soon.

I can't promise it will be terribly accurate, but I'll do my best. Sorry...
