Luz would have disagreed with that too- the Pthumerians were just the impetus. Forming bonds, talking to each other and taking risks with their feelings, that was what brought Lexi and Luz together. By being a couple and learning what was involved in a relationship? THAT was what made the two of them change for each other.
It was not a strange thing for Luz to want to die for her friends. Most of the time, she risked life and limb to help them, because that was just what you did to show them how much you cared about them, right? That was what Luz had initially thought. Seeing that reflected back at her made her realize how much people cared about HER, and how much she had to lose.
Luz didn't know how to put a name or a label on what she and Lexi had: she just knew that it felt right to her, and that she was hopelessly devoted to helping making Lexi's goals happen. There was nothing Luz wouldn't do to make Lexi happy.
"Twenty fifteen," Luz answered, sighing, "and we still have a LONG way to go, last I checked. Countries are going to have to go at it their own way: religion plays a big role, and so does the way the society in that country interprets what being gay means. Heck, its not like we're so much more evolved than them. Half of the country still has poo brain about a lot of issues, and they're still horribly regressive when it comes to trans people. We have a long way to go...or we WOULD, anyway, if we were still on Earth."
Did Luz have a lot of time to think about these kinds of things? Absolutely.
"Oh, I know that one," Luz said, nudging her forehead against Lexi's, "and I can't wait to see what you can do with your powers!"
Luz would absolutely love to be referred to in that way and would sing along with the song if only to remind Lexi how much she appreciated corny.
Orville was free to peruse Luz's hair at his leisure!
Luz would have countered that Mulan was fine being the way she was, as long as she reverted to her "normal" self. After all, there was Aravis and Lucy, who were more "masculine" while still reverting back to their femininity, either by marriage or by being turned back to her "real" age again.
"Then it won't be too good for either of us: it would be just perfect for us both!"
And that worked just fine for her.
"If you ever want to know what they mean, you can just ask me!" Luz said, giggling back. "But don't you tell me! I want to figure them out myself!"
Oh, I had rose colored glasses about Narnia for years. It hits different now!
