Well, she kinda is one a quarter of the time.
just want to point out how perfect my canon wall samus’s eyebrow expression is (but they could be a little bushier)
imagine being a space pirate on zebes and a fucking big orange ball rolls up to you super fast and says “im ball” before blowing you the fuck up. thats terrifying

and like, no matter her birth assignment (quick aside though, just wanna put forward that i see no reason why a trans woman can’t be for all women in the same way an AFAB woman can BUT ANYWAY she was like, raised by aliens so what meaning would human gender even have for her eska) i can’t imagine her as pretty

only reason i said this is cuz as much as i love getting my grubby goblin hands on fictional ladies and decreeing that they are Trans it’s nice if she can be a tall and strong afab, some of the samus is trans people qualify that she’s trans because of those qualities which i think is unnecessarily shitty to cis women

Samus is totally pretty but only if you like roughness and birds and sweat.

It’s also a little weird in light the terfy tendency toward phrenology, and “accusing” any afab women who don’t fit into a certain box of being trans. Like athletes, frequently.

yea I brought this up in my original post about it, i just don’t think the idea that “samus is Manly so she must be trans” is good or healthy for anybody lol even though i do kinda get it from a “ahh she’s just like me” angle

What I like about the (probably accidental) queer-coding of the character, the series, and its themes is that it kinda dances around that problem by not defining anything. Like, you can look at her and her situation and what she goes through and go, AH, without being limited by notions like, well, she’s buff and huge, therefore blahblah. Those just become dimensions of ambiguity in a soup of many others.

i got metroid fusion for christmas the year it came out and I remember distinctly being terrified by the idea that samus was now fused to the fusion suit for the rest of her life. like just the idea of a sanctuary like the inside of the varia suit becoming a weird invasive prison fucked me up as a child

picturing samus in chunky white shoes after labor day pointing her blaster at serial mom threatening her to try something
did she sign your poster or does she just have her name written on her armor
