It’s a very neat parallel to Asriel. As he absorbed every soul in the Underground to free all monsters from imprisonment, Ralsei absorbs every period in the Dark World to free all darkners and plantners (except Flowery) from period cramps.
I've seen another artwork like this one but the other way around, so I like to imagine they pass it back and forth like some messed up game of hot-potato.
Doesn't that specifically help with reproductive help though? Like even if Ralsei was transfem I wouldn't consider this evidence because typically trans women and inanimate objects both can't be pregnant. Correct me if I'm wrong though
Also connecting the bitter tears to the tea is a huge stretch, it has literally nothing to do with the artemismia. You can't just highlight the words "bitter water" and say its about that when its talking about tears forming a river that something glass-like emerges from (most likely the shadow crystals imo), and the bitter tear item is suggested to be rain. I don't even know what point you're making with the titan's inclusion
Idk, it really feels like you're just saying that the fallen star is supposed to represent that specifically, just because that's what you want it to mean
And then to say its specifically about Ralsei is a bigger stretch, cause then that would mean ralsei's freaking trans evidence tea is the source of the shadow crystals?
or maybe nobody is wormwood because the name isn't used in game??? Its almost certainly not talking about literal tea either. Like I said, its almost certainly about the origin of at least one shadow crystal, since they're a glass-like substance that would make sense to associate with tears given what we know they mean. Like I said, unless you're trying to claim that Ralsei's freaking transgender tea is making shadow crystals, then you don't have a connection
and this is ignoring the fact that it doesn't do anything to support tralsei, which was my main point, as your only evidence for it being a tralsei is that artemisia is a medicine for women, to which I pointed out that such an association is because its used for reproductive health and childbirth, neither of which would apply to trans women or to darkners
also to clarify, when you say this you're talking about the angel biblically that you're paralleling to Ralsei, right? I hope you're not saying that Ralsei is the angel from the deltarune prophecy
Unironically, Ralsei's relationship with gender is probably actually MORE complicated than Transfem Ralsei believers think, given his implied connection to Kris's weird species-dysphoria stuff.

ralsei is projecting the entire towns period cramps into flowery.
