mirren is explicitly transmasc, caleb is explicitly transmasc & vicon is transmasc coded (which to me basically means explicit but you know semantics etc etc) and to me there is nothing funnier than a trans man in a fantasy world being written to be kind of an unironic misogynist, so they are

anyway here's this

Sketch of the artist's original characters Ryou and Sabine being intimate on some sheets. Sabine, in front, has her leg raised and draped over Ryou's hip with her arm behind him. His face is buried in her hair as he holds onto her torso. Both of their eyes are closed and little hearts are drawn over their heads.

ALSO the necessity for female love interests to be manic and strange, even if they hide it well and/or are more hyper-competent than their male costars. but that i think comes SPECIFICALLY from madeline kahn
