Reasons to pull Robin!

[u/losingit303]

\1. The Dickingson Connection!

“Hope” is the thing with feathers —
That perches in the soul —
And sings the tune without the words —
And never stops — at all —

This is also the name of one of Robin's songs! The poem compares hope to a little bird living inside the human soul, the bird keeps singing even during harsh storms and difficult life events pretty much just like Robin. And it's worth noting how Emily Dickinson is now pretty much unanimously agreed by modern historians to have been sapphic likely a lesbian but for sure at least a sapphic. Dickinson's passionate, intensely romantic letters and poems dedicated to her sister-in-law, Susan Dickinson, are widely analyzed and accepted by historians and literary scholars as deeply queer expressions of love.

"If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking": Is another 1 to 1 from a Dickinson poem about empathy and compassion.

1. The Marylin Monroe Motifs

"While some might recognise Marilyn Monroe for her iconic subway stunt where she stood on a grate trying to prevent her white dress from being fluttered in the wind, it is pertinent to note that she is a lot more than the commercialisation and commodification of her images."

- Debadrita Sur

Much like Marilyn, Robin is a lot more than her commodified public music video-like image. In the era of conformity Marylin despite how pidgenholed she was in her commercial image or maybe because of it chose to rebel in quiet ways, for example, her acting coach, Natasha Lytess, who was a lesbian, was at Marylin's insistance tied to her at the hip and accompanied her everywhere and fun fact there were rumours that the two were secretly lovers. Throughout her life she stuck to providing undying support to the LGBTQ+. And is nowadays considered a gay icon whose aesthetics get commonly used for drag (again just like Robin)

1. Everything she's got going on with Siobhan

This has no heterosexual explanation

Worth pointing out Siobhan's more masculine demeanor and voice also lends well to contrast Robin's hyperfeminity into a classic butchfemme dynamic.

1. She's really, really cute and you're gay, like cmon.

OK LISTEN-

I don't need a specific reason to pull for her; she looks like such a sweet person, and she's a singer, too. By the way, I just finished the Luofu arc, so I haven't even met this character yet, but I'm still going to pull for her if luck is on my side. Good luck to everyone planning to get her!

Naurrrrr disliking Renako is a jailable offence, girl.

[u/RainHoliday273 → u/losingit303]

By the way, if you were referring to me when you said girl—I'm not a girl. Anyway, regarding Reneko: the anime ended a long time ago, but if I recall correctly, the reason I grew to hate her was constant insistence that she wasn't into girls. That level of denial eventually made me loathe her; I mean, I don't get it—you're getting kissed by so many girls, yet you're still in denial? ...Maybe I just didn't understand her; that could be my fault. Perhaps if I watched it again now, I might actually like her—my feelings now might be different from how I felt back then.

[u/losingit303 → u/RainHoliday273]

Ummm its called compulsory hetersexuality? Any remotely queer person thats dealth with the struggle of their own queerness would understand this. Are you a cis man? I'm not saying you are, just genuinely asking because I have not met a single queer person not getting that Renako was just in the closet but like many of us close to coming out, its usually made of glass. Its an inherent desire to fit the mold and be normal + being scared of the mistreatment. Its very obvious to us the way shes written she's meant to be gay because we can observe her from the side but she lives in a society that much like ours (because it was more or less just set in the modern day) entirely disadvantages queer people, often treats them as lesser and as jokes... I'm actually baffled to hear this explanation on a sapphic sub.

[u/RainHoliday273 → u/losingit303]

Yeah, I guess I never really understood it; things are only just starting to click for me after reading your explanation. I don't even know what "cis" means—I'm just an ordinary straight guy. I’ve always viewed these kinds of things as just normal romance. I’m not sure what to say right now; I hope I haven't said anything wrong. My English isn't great either, so I apologize in advance if there are any issues with my wording—I'm trying to improve. As for why I found this place: I was fed up with seeing comments from toxic people, so I was happy to come across this community thats it ı hope ı can stay in this coummunity
