| Anonymous ; Regarding Kanaya being a bard and ignoring the male only restriction: the codpiece's purpose was to emphasize the male genitalia. Obviously, for female bards, the equivalent costume feature would be a bustier (likely padded). Whether Kanaya modifies the costume or leaves it as is is a different question. Would love to see her initial reaction. |
no. a codpiece is armor for your crotch, it isn’t just a thing you put on over your pants to make your dick look bigger. and it will be kept the way it is in homestuck prime, because ridiculous codpieces are a lot funnier than lingerie and i don’t want like, real gratuitous fanservice in my au. it’s not going to happen ever sorry. if kanaya ever gets anything remotely similar to a bustier, it will not be a bustier, it will be a legit breastplate as part of a complete nonsexy suit of armor that is sturdy and reliable yet fashionable. trolls all have the same genitals anyway so if the guys have a thing like that (they dont) so would the girls.
i don’t think they would recognise it as genitals, just as a weird oblong thing that is very fun to bother other people with. provided a) kanaya ascends and b) pieces of god tier costumes can be alchemized, at one point they will probably make hundreds of copies of it and flood somebody’s room with them.

the codpiece discussion is over btw i don’t want suggestions about the bard of time codpiece/what she should have instead/what she should do with it ok thanks in advance
