This was touching, insightful, and damn funny, too. The angle of telling the story through command-line interface was intriguing and made me feel a little bad for neglecting my old linux box.
I also really appreciate you doing the work to untangle the difficult feelings of being transgender while still desiring things that oneself or others may perceive to be as in conflict with one's "destination gender". It took me some time to grapple with those feelings, and I stumbled into a long (but not permanent!) detransition along the way. So, I'm glad you were able to put that struggle into this story. Thank you so much for making this!!
This was a very cool project! The angle on kigurumi gender you're exploring here brings an interesting perspective I probably wouldn't have considered otherwise. I also enjoyed the overarching motif of used/repurposed hardware and how it informs the ways the two characters view themselves and their relationships. It's cool to see the ways that Henry's very human struggles are mirrored in Ruby's, I think it leaves you with a lot to think about. The recontextualization of stuff like the PreCure hero shows in this dystopian setting adds a fun texture to it all too. Great work!
