    transgender lesbian hdb

    actually you could ABSOLUTELY make that read, given his relationship to masculinity (viewing it very consistently as like, punishment and a prison) and his body and trying to escape his old identity and even his name. though you can’t read him as a lesbian, he very clearly likes dudes. bisexual trans woman hdb

      And if the world can’t accept Raphaël Ambrosius is your name – you will always be Detective Costeau to yourself. R.A. Costeau – sophisticated culture-detective. Specializes in ancient things and art.

    I sincerely headcanon Harry (Harriet?) as a closeted/pre-realisation trans woman tbh. Also, remember that they lost all their memories at the start of the game, so there’s nothing to say that Harry wasn’t a closeted trans woman pre memory wipe. (Similarly with Harry’s sexuality crisis, nothing to say that they didn’t already understand themselves as bisexual before they lost their memories)
