'Canoning' Theo being a trans man, and Drag King Theo

4

Hello hello all, in response to the fact that Theo has been pretty much always referred to as a trans man in every aspect of Lovers stuff except the Wiki for some reason??? I am taking steps to remedy this. At the very least, I am planning on putting the following sentence into his Trivia section:

"Theo King is a trans man, and often plays up the visual aspects of his transness as part of his drag. One notable instance included glitter tape across his top surgery scars."

This sentence is somewhat based in the general idea of wanting to beautify symbols of transness in order to reclaim being trans AS beautiful (and I'm definitely drawing from personal, post-top surgery goals in putting it like this).

In addition to this, I am asking for some help and collaboration on fleshing out Theo King's drag persona a bit more! Some vague ideas that were floated in the Lovers lore channel were "Theo's persona as a parody of the king that the (toxic and damaging) Royal Kingdom wanted him to be", "generally Very Flashy And Exaggerated", and "I don't know enough about drag to talk about this confidently" which is where this page comes in! I would love for people who know better about drag, especially trans men as drag kings, to add to here and help build up Theo's experience in the article!

Absolutely in full support of this, Theo has a few "gender euphoria" moments in trying on Queen King's clothes in the page as it is, so adding that little tidbit and maybe others sounds like a great idea!

okay so it's been Much More than the 24 hours for approval so! i'm going to at least add the sentence since no one objected to it.

if wiki staff are okay with this approach (i am new here aa) i would like to keep this open to allow people to add in tidbits about theo's drag!

not a trans man, but am a non-binary drag performer so while i don't have any suggestions right now i am here as a resource if needed!

Hello! I'm planning on adding a piece of trivia about the running gag of Theo always avoiding the shadows with a bit of flavour text to it.
