#JessicaAgito ship dynamic thoughts (grabbing a whole thread from birdsite and putting it here) will have vague movie spoilers
They start out still antagonistic towards each other. Jessica may have helped Agito get into Estoc but she’s still a Ragna Soldier TM and he doesn’t really Trust her. Later he runs into Jessica in Neutral City and only drops his guard when she says she’s here to talk to Yolda.
He eavesdrops on their conversation and finds out Jessica is planning to defect. But she doesn’t explain why.
Agito shows Jessica around the city and she gets to see how the people live. She explains to him that Shunack’s betrayal, even if she suspected it, really shook her. She’s known Ragna are warmongers, she’s known about their atrocities. Guilt and wishing to change things from the inside kept her stuck. She also grew up there, and now the army doesn’t feel like a place she wants to stay in.
Agito is still wary, but willing to give her a chance. (My hc is that Neutral City’s elders(minus Agashi) came from Ragna originally as deserters and refugees.) she reveals she’s going to need hormones from somewhere other than Ragna now and Agito has this “oh, you’re trans too?” Moment.
He relaxes a little bit more and takes her to the heart of the Forest for said hormones and they chat more. Jessica is not entirely forthcoming, she still has secrets of her own. About Shunack, about Ragna’s central command. The antagonism has lessened between them.
Agito might also be looking at how tall and attractive Jessica is, but he keeps his mouth shut about that until he knows her better. Until he doesn’t or until she makes a move on him. Which would probably be more likely.
In time they become way more friendly and relaxed around each other. There is a lot more to this idea because I’ve actually been working on a whole fic and the concept in this is just a part of that.

#ToolaAgito art from 2020 or late 2019 but my memory of that part of the year is fuzzy
They are at a bonfire in Neutral City and a dance started. Agito wants Toola to join :3
see if you can guess what this scene is inspired by?
#OriginSpiritsOfThePast #GinironoKaminoAgito #SilverHairedAgito
I need people to know this is Agito and Toola’s actual height difference from promo art in the official artbook and I’m exaggerating nothing about it (also Toola’s hand placement is so possessive in this image 👀)
One of these days I will make this a real acrylic charm. I love them so so much!! :blobcatblush::shyplead::blobcatbam:

Will have Spoilers for the movie! (Accidentally made this post local only at first, made some edits too)
Long story short, My headcanon is basically:
everything is the same, except that he used becoming Enhanced to speed-run his transition
This is all for fun of course. This is not my usual horny content but I hope you enjoy!
First you have the concept of becoming Enhanced, making a deal with the Forest, which Agito expresses is something he wants in the first scene he speaks in. Being Enhanced is just getting superstrength and plant powers within the story, sure,
But if Agito is trans, receiving the power of the Forest can be seen as his steps towards self-recreation, becoming the person he wishes to be/have his body be the way he wants. Agito knows there are risks to being Enhanced, he’s thought this through for a long time it seems. He wants this and tells his father such when he has to say goodbye to him.
Agito then makes his way to the heart of the Forest and is given a new form after the forest twin spirits tell him “We will trust your heart. We will give you the power of the forest.” His Enhanced body is different from his old one. Along with the power he gains, there are aesthetic changes. He has more defined muscles now, his hair is silver, his eyes are green, and he’s baring significantly more skin than his earlier outfit. (Old outfit was 2 baggy t shirts and a jacket and baggy pants)
His new skintight crop top also does resemble a binder in some ways xD
But what i’m getting at here is that Agito’s confidence absolutely skyrockets as he gets used to his new body. He needs time getting used to it of course but he also barrels straight into battle, he throws a missile shell over his head, busts out of a jail, chases down a train. He seems like a different person, or perhaps, this is who he’s always wanted to be.
Then there is the way Ragna, and especially Toola reacts when she first sees Agito after he get his powers. She tells him, with him chained to a wall that they can “Return his body to normal” and Agito is deeply insulted, telling her he made the choice to change his body this way of his own free will. Given Toola’s attachment to the past/ her idea of normalcy, she is scared for him at first and asks him “Why? Why did you do that?!”
(pictured 1st and 2nd image)
Neutral City on the other hand, and his father, and Yolda especially, affirm him in this path.
Idk…. Like, Agito’s enhancement reads so much as a transition allegory to me...then Toola’s first reaction kinda just solidifies that. This is something she grows out of, seeing that Agito is happy about the changes and just as much her friend as before.
Agashi, his father, showed support for him to live as he is. When Agito sees childhood memories after he sacrifices himself, His younger self wishes to be stronger and his dad affirms that is strong enough as is and is proud to have him as a son.
When the Forest brings him back, Agito seems much more at peace. Way more comfortable in this body than his old one and even shows off while carrying Toola down the side of the volcano. (It’s ridiculous and I love it) He enjoys this, telling her that everyone’s power, the Forest, and his father’s strengthens him.
A detail I adore is Agito’s love for his father and vice versa is symbolized as a flower.
(pictured in 3rd image)
The enhanced form = transition allegory isn’t perfect though. Agito’s powers will eventually turn him into a tree, this is what happens to all enhanced after over using their strength. Tho he’s still at peace with that in the story.
This interpretation is going off Agito knowing he’s trans before being enhanced, and I will also add that as a transmasc person I definitely felt connection to the character for a lot of these reasons, his unique style and his expression of masculinity. Some are self projection reasons haha.
Omg I forgot to mention the body horror. Agito can turn parts of his body into tree like branches as an extension of his link to the forest. It’s seen as something almost romantic in the animation itself. Even if Ragna calls him a monster for it, it is clearly something the movie itself sees as beautiful.
This analysis doesn’t go over all the reasons Agito wanted his powers, others being that he wanted to protect his home and couldn’t fight the Ragna army/Shunack without superstrength and he wanted to help Toola who didn’t know she was being manipulated. Also I didn’t mention Yolda’s scene, but she has the same powers and helps him to get used to some of the changes, giving him some tips on channeling his strength because she knows what it’s like.
#TransHeadcanon #Agito #OriginSpiritsOfThePast #GinironoKaminoAgito #TransmascAgito
Yolda helps Agito control his powers when they get beyond his control and she clearly cares about him so much and doesn’t want him to get hurt.
They have the same superpowers and she could teach him more I’m betting. Like a mentor for him while he gets to used to his body’s changes and his new abilities.
(did I mention she’s his town’s leader/representative? That too)
Listen I can’t not ship them #YoldaAgito #OriginSpiritsOfThePast #AgeGapShip

Scoots a little explainer on Origin onto my Aethy :blobcat_peek:
Origin: Spirits of the Past is the media the characters I draw are from (unless i state they are ocs)
It’s a post apocalyptic anime film made by Studio Gonzo in 2006. It features themes of moving on from the past, harmony with humans and nature, and second chances. There are sentient trees, plant superpowers, body horror, a communal town built out of ruins, and a dangerous military state who lives in the desert. there’s also stunning animation and music. The opening and ending are done by KOKIA.
The two main characters are Agito and Toola. The antagonist and villain is Shunack. Agito gets beat up a lot if whump is your thing.The movie has some kinky vibes too. Agito wears a dog collar for half the runtime.
If you liked stuff like Nausicaa of the valley of the wind or Horizon Zero Dawn (Or heck if you watched Heavenly Delusion or Trigun Stampede) this should be relatively up your alley.
Bonus: Gorgeous soundtrack and background art, often of ruins and forests. (Recommending this movie because it’s my special interest and I love it so much :shroom_party:)

i tag each pairing like (character name) x (character name)
As a hashtag. Example: #ToolaXAgito
Agito is transmasc in my art and is a submissive, as well as the victim in most noncon situations. I draw Cain as a trans guy. Jessica and Yolda are trans women in my art. Toola is usually cis. Same with Shunack.
I have many different alternate universes: including a villain version of Toola where the Toola/Agito is noncon. This is under the tag #RagnaToolaXAgito
A tiny Edit: Agito is transmasc and a trans boy in my art, definitely don’t mean to be treating those things those terms as the same when I tag both on art, just that he is both.

More characters that will appear in my art! The film is kinda obscure so hopefully this helps with any confusion. ✨
In order:
Toola, the movie’s other main character.
Cain, Agito's best friend
Yolda, the leader/representative of the city Agito and Cain live in.
Edit as of September 2023: I now know Yolda is also Agito’s mom, he doesn’t know in the movie but he sure does in my art.
Jessica: Ragna military officer who works with Shunack. Seemingly as his lieutenant colonel.)
Also Shunack but there’s a post about him in this tag already —> #OriginSpiritsOfThePast
For those who aren’t aware, #OriginSpiritsOfThePast has a sexy manipulative villain(who is a military colonel) who shows up in a lot of my art. His name is #Shunack
He’s awful, I love him. 💖
#Anime
Before I post more art I need people to know that Agito actually dresses like this and it’s amazing. He fights a military in bdsm gear, is part tree, and bulletproof. I adore him :shyplead:
#OriginSpiritsOfThePast #Anime
Summary: Toola is feeling tremendous amounts of guilt after what happened with her father's weapon and her desire to bring back her past. Agito is also pretty emotional but wants to comfort her. There are tears, there are hugs, reassurance, they are idiots who both definitely have a crush on each other.
Summary: Toola thinks she’s lost Agito forever and may not even survive herself, but when he’s returned to her, safe and alive, she finds herself feeling a sort of desire for him she didn’t expect.

I linked my AO3 in my profile. There’s only a few fics but i’m proud of them. Here is a thread of them!
(Agito is a trans guy in all of them)
