short answer: those terms specifically? not rly

Long answer that’s just an excuse to get a little weird with it: since cedric is very much the modern answer to the classic Disney villain there’s aspects of him I like to pick at. Particularly at how it inherently gives him the queer coding that’s popular among those classics. It was very validating to hear his design was based off of cruella (and jasper).

In earlier insane autistic rambles I’ve observed he’s had similarities to the evil queen and maleficent as well. The queens full cheeks, envy towards a young girl, dabbled in wicked sorcery… Cedric also shares maleficents pointed chin, pettiness towards a young girl and dramatic entrances and exits… they all share raven companions too lol. I like cedric sharing the same evil classic milf dna.

It was also funny to read an interview with craig gerber where he likely pushed for a more effeminate looking cedric after the first concept for cedric gave him a more Captain Hook inspired look (not to say hook isn’t gay cuz he is but def not what cg had in mind lol). I like how it’s called back in substitute cedric where he’s given an unsightly mustache and beard combo.

The idea of cedric feeling uncomfortably restricted in his position and not knowing why… I like him being a sort of failbrother to cordelia and roland (he and cedric being these tragic “brothers” is a hill I’ll die on. They were raised together ofc they’re brothers). And goodwyn being so disappointed that his heir isn’t the type of man he is lol. Cedric being more similar to his mother in certain mannerisms…

I’m also particular about him being unable to blend in with his hexley schoolmates. Grimtrix and greylock are highly fruity men, theoretically cedric should feel he’d fit in right? No, he seems just as alienated by the world of sorcery as he is in the world of royalty. He can’t fit into either masculine ideal.

I like the arc concluding that cedric should be accepted as he is. It’s when ppl don’t automatically push him into the bumbling role that he truly shines. Seeing him be more confident as people judge him less is very cute. So it would be nice that cedric will likely be able to examine himself more when he feels less self loathing.

In aus where he’s more evil aligned… in a very “let it go” way she pushes for a more fem presentation bc finally!!!!!! Freed from the shackles of society!!!!!!! Be free and freaky!!!!! Become milf!!!!! Be the bad girl!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaa

I’m kinda stubborn pinning a label on cedric bc i like to think about identity in the context of the canon. For anyone to step in and go “I am (modern term)” here just feels really offputting to me. But I don’t like that being used as a justification to deny any potential interpretations.

But I do like when ppl she/her cedric in my posts when it happens lol. Pretty pronouns for a pretty girl. I just don’t like to get too controlling of how my art is perceived but I do feel that maybe I should be a little less vague. I guess I’m not too into the idea that headcanoning an effeminate man being a woman is ruining things. Quite the opposite really. I love women. Keep that in mind.

Hostility towards trans hc can be discouraging at times. I kno the more prudish minded tend to use them for… tbh kind of lame reasons but eh all the more reason to get real erotic and esoteric about it.

Medium answer: ye olde estrogen will save her!!!!!!!!! I want cedric to develop cute little budding breasts with cute puffy nipples!!!! Be the wicked milf you’re destined to be, my queen!!!!!!!!! Rahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! I love women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

epilogue: I suppose this is here where I like to see sofia present as masc in an anime prince way… sigh… it was really cute to see her final protector outfit! I think she needs to bridal carry her tall wife in that!! i really like lolihet when i can get really gender about it… yuri……………….
