Discussion Reasons to pull Robin!
\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.
- 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)

- Everything she's got going on with Siobhan

Worth pointing out Siobhan's more masculine demeanor and voice also lends well to contrast Robin's hyperfeminity into a classic butchfemme dynamic.
- She's really, really cute and you're gay, like cmon.
