Return of the blue L.R.E.

[raspberryrain]

I noticed today that reimagining Ellery as a lamia is a weird case of me creating, or synthesising, things that would be meaningful to someone else in a way—but then me not playing them that way.

Ellery can come off as a non-binary character, & she's a little gender-nonconforming, but I basically write her as a cishet woman. (Meanwhile, my lesbian characters are overwhelmingly femme. e_e)

On the other hand, I have seen the lamia used as a symbol of trans femininity. Which I think I get? I'm more into the idea of a snake woman as a mystic, quasi-prophetic figure—or just someone alien.

Anyway, with the blue lamia, I'm thinking, "Monster girl! Make her glow blue!"
