I do have some issues with some bits of P4. I do like your way of looking at it, but I also have issues with the way they dealt with Kanji. It's like somehow he accepts who he is, but then just hides it just as much... like "OH NO I WAS NEVER GAY RLY IT'S JUST THAT I WAS AFRAID I WAS"

It just really seems not to jive with how they explained the shadows and what happened with the others.

I have to double check this, but I think they had a different writing team for the S. Link scenario scripts than they do for the main story script. That might explain some things...

Kanji's arc is still better, in the sense that his "official" sexual orientation is "whatever is funniest at the time" which is the closest we'll get to any sort of statement. It's nice that they leave it open-ended enough for the fans to determine what his sexual orientation is. I certainly approve of Hermy's explanation for it! He's Naoto-sexual. (http://community.livejournal.com/adddictions/94283.html?thread=22953035#t22953035) That's all we need to know.

Secretly ships Naoto/Tyki/Hakuba/Kanji now... In that order.

Huh, that does make it make a bit more sense, but it still annoyed me greatly. I like the idea that he's Naoto-sexual, though XDDDD

Naoto's storyline did annoy me for those reasons, too, but I guess I concluded that she was learning to accept herself for who she was, like you said. I think that means that sometimes she's a boy, and sometimes she can be a girl, but really she's just Naoto.

fffffff I like that Naoto tops

Here, have my incredibly rambling tl;dr thoughts on Naoto's gender issues right here! (http://community.livejournal.com/adddictions/94283.html?thread=22909515#t22909515) I really do need to write a proper essay about it at some point...

Basically, I believe Naoto to be bigendered, with a little leaning toward masculine. Not so much a "man trapped in a woman's body," so to speak but "a man's spirit who resides comfortably in a woman's body and likes to sometimes dress like a woman when the mood strikes". Her psyche is too fluid to be forced into a definite choice for a body, because she oscillates between being a "man" and being a "woman." She is what she is.

CAN TYKI ACTUALLY BE TOPPED BY CUTE LITTLE NAOTO?

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

ooooh, that's very interesting!

P-POSSIBLY. HE'D LIKE TO TOP HER, BUT IF SHE'S A BIT FORCEFUL AND ADORABLE HE'LL PROBABLY ROLL OVER FOR HER AND HAVE FUN DOING IT

And I realize, after reading over it again, that I switched pronouns SO MANY DAMN TIMES in that second response! NAOTO DEFIES CONVENTIONAL BINARY GENDER ROLES, MKAY?

W-WELL, NAOTO'S TOO TIMID TO TOP RIGHT AWAY! SHE HAS TO BUILD UP HER CONFIDENCE BEFORE SHE CAN DO THAT!

ohgod, when is next Kink Meme? I have too many things I want to write, now...

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

Well, that's obviously right for Naoto, then XDDD

TYKI CAN HELP HER CONFIDENCE

ffff, I want it now

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

JUST AS LONG AS THE TEASES AREN'T INVOLVED SHE'S STILL A LITTLE SCARED OF THEM

*makes plans to start working on "obvious" Naoto pairings...*

I will cry SO MUCH if I write a whole bunch of epic porn, and yet get none in return for my requests LIKE LAST TIME ;__;

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

IT'S OKAY, TYKI RARELY USES TEASES IN SEX, THOUGH NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT...

Don't cry!

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

...OKAY YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS NOW. JUST AS LONG AS THEY DON'T EAT HER, I THINK SHE'LL BE OKAY!

Don't worry, I still enjoy writing it. Hopefully, I'll be able to fill more requests than I did last time. ALL THE EPIC PORN TIRED ME OUT!

[tyki-tock.livejournal.com]

WELL, HE HAS USED THEM AS RESTRAINTS BEFORE, BUT ALSO BUTTERFLY WINGS WOULD BE SORT OF LIKE FEATHERS...STIMULATION CAN BE FUN.

I CAN IMAGINE THAT WOULD BE TIRING. I didn't participate last time because I was so mired in school and stuff. Hopefully I can do some next time.
