All the cool kids are doing it...

So, when I originally started "Two of Cups," I put Ryan in a dress for a very specific reason. The story started out being set in the 20s, and Brendon was going to go through most of the thing thinking Ryan was a girl and when he found out he was a boy, Brendon was going to have this horrible great religious freak out and there was going to be angst. Only then Jon mistook Spencer for a girl and I rolled my eyes and thought I can't have two cases of mistaken gender in my fic. I mean, Spencer and Ryan can both been kinda girly, but this is ridiculous. And then I liked the idea of unflappable Jon being totally unfazed by boy Spencer way better than religious angst Brendon.
But the thing is, I still kinda want to write that original fic a little bit (a lot). So now I'm debating whether or not to add a serious Ryan as a cross-dresser fic to my growing list of bandom projects. Because, well, I don't see Ryan as a cross-dresser. I see that as being way more something Spencer or Brendon would do. Ryan seems comfortable and happy as a dude. A dude who likes to wear makeup, but whatever. Ah, the dilemmas I face. *eye roll*
