Gidget is the best fictional representation of gender dysphoria I have ever encountered. I am cis, and I feel like their story has really helped me understand gender dysphoria more than before.

 

Genzou and Orlam are both written really well.

 

Iggy, much like Gidget, I feel has helped me better understand asexuality. I have a lot of ace friends and I've never really understood it, and the way it's talked about in Our Wonderland really just sums it up in a way that I know doesn't apply to every ace person, but feels so relatable despite my not being ace. And Iggy is just a perfect representation of so many other things too - an introvert, a people pleaser, a friend, even. Our Wonderland does such a good job of taking the hero's journey and twisting it in a way that is just so effective.

 

And Bucks and Hunar. God, a type of relationship that we need to take more seriously as a society. Be able to love the other person on your own terms. For your own sake and theirs.

 

I couldn't help but think of Saydie as an allusion to Christ in the end of Arc 5. I'm not religious - far from it, in fact, but the idea of Saydie as this savior of - well, happiness, sort of, is very Christlike to me. I don't know if this was intended, but her making the ultimate sacrifice and saving everyone is just so - poignant, I guess.
