I Feel Like Sometimes Certain TWST Fans Categorize Azul's Trauma As Less Than Because They Boil It Down

I feel like sometimes certain TWST fans categorize Azul's trauma as less than because they boil it down to "He was bullied." And that is where they stop, but I feel like they don't see the layers as to why he was bullied.

Facts from the game are that Azul was bullied for being slow, his appearance, and being a crybaby. We also know his peers did not respect him until he held power over them(this, of course, transfered to how he behaves at NRC). Azul grew up around kids who hated him for his natural appearance, something he couldn't control, making him think he didn't look pretty and to have a negative self-image. They also accidentally taught him that if he doesn't have anything over people, he can not be their equal.

I think everyone is aware that Azul's bullies were racist. That is quite clear in the story. Azul's species is considered to not be common in the Coral Sea, implying that they are either not native to there or have a low birth rate. Maybe even a combination of both. This can also lead to the idea that Azul was possibly the only octomer at their school, making his alienation from his peers more evident. Another thing you have to remember is that children are not born racist. They have to learn that behavior from someone, so Azul's bullies had to have a source. Whether it be an educator or their parents, this racist prejudice against Azul came from someone else. This was also high society. The Coral Sea prince went to their school, high class mers were here, meaning this wasn't just a small opinion in a little town, but an opinion high class society has against octomers that could possibly trickle down to lower spaces in mer society.

I take back everything I said about skully man. He seems like a sweet little(he's tall, apparently?T.T) gentleman. I like him and his hand kisses. He is silly boy

WHY ARE U TAGGING ME IN FEM AZU ART IM GONNA EXPLODDEE

What really happened with their names

PuppyLove(it is what I'm calling it)or JackAce fem fanart <3

Mini Rant under the cut

I have a lot of irks when it comes to genderbends because people don't know how to keep a characters traits when turning them to the other gender(this is specifically for genderbending into a female), but one that annoys me beyond believe is people not keeping a male character's muscles in their fem design! I have seen this so much with Leona, Jack, and Sebek.

People completely get rid of their muscles and just make them skinny, big chested women when that doesn't even make sense! Big breasts are generally just fat, which super muscular characters like the three I just listed don't have a lot of, so giving them huge breasts doesn't make sense. And why won't people give them their muscles? Big muscular women are hella attractive!

I know in this drawing you can't see fem Jack's muscles, but you also can't exactly tell in Jacks regular uniform either soo... I'll probably do another JackAce drawing with fem Jack's muscles on display because they are currently rotting my brain.
