I've been looking forward to Angel's route!
I was talking to another trans friend of mine years back. She was in the middle of transitioning and something she said stuck with me for years. I asked her what she wanted to be, and she said, "firstly, alive. That was my first goal when I started transitioning, but now I can see a future where I grow old. I'd like to be an old lady that gives all the young queer kids weird butterscotch candies from my purse."
An old lady giving out butterscotch candies. I nearly cried in joy; it was such a hopeful and wonderful depiction of life thriving, not just surviving.
Personally, when I saw Angel I saw a piece of what I wanted to be; someone who is calm, emotionally stable and living with xir unique identity like it's no big deal (also chest tattoos). However, to be like that in the world we live in requires an intensity and force of will most people would miss.
I'm glad you're writing Angel, from a fellow writer to another, AND I'm looking forward to playing through again to choose xem.
