the heart wants what the heart wants and what the heart wants is, apparently, garbage
This is beautiful. I'm going to embroider it on all my furniture.
(Also yeah Chihiro is clearly a trans guy's narrative but the fandom is extremely obnoxious about it.)
I can understand why Chihiro as a trans girl became such a popular interpretation, but it does bother me when parts of the fandom act like interpreting Chihiro as male is somehow a moral failing.
I've been playing the official localisation with those nicknames, and it is MADDENING. You cannot convince me that formal, traditional, rules-obsessed, formerly friendless Kiyotaka Ishimaru would ever go, 'Oh, call me Taka.'
