This is a bit of a hear-me-out thing.

Over the years, I've seen a ton of Nico genderbend art. One time, I even came across a doujinshi where Nico actually cut her hair short and, boy, was it majestic.

A silly headcanon, though, was that as Nico aged and matured—probably after college, being in the workforce, assuming she had a different career path than being the absolute super idol that she was, or maybe after idol career retirement— Nico would've cut her (very) long hair for a change. She might keep the bangs if she had maintained that branding or if she had grown that as long as her actual hair length over the years.

Point is— short-haired Nico would probably be kind of an ikemen, if ever, especially given her young look despite her age. Not like I can draw her that way. Idk, maybe in the future.

What I have right now is a chibi short-haired Nico for Christmas because here in PH, 'ber' months is kinda like the start of our Christmas season until the year-end, lol.

Sorry if I'm speaking out of turn here, but it's been just hard to scroll in this subredd in peace when I've got to pass by some AI images now and then before seeing actual art.

I don't want to be rude, and yes, I can just mind my own business. Also, yes, I can also just scroll away or not at all if it's gotten uncomfortable. But i really like this subreddit for the Nico art I end up seeing here every day, and the people who genuinely love Nico.

So, are we d**d*ss tolerating it here now or something? The AI stuff? I know there's no rule forbidding it either, but I mean— 🫠🥹

*For varieties sake, no hentai games please

I last played Final Fantasy 15. I think as long as she stays singing in the cities, she'll be alright. Maybe she'll ride a Chocobo she'll name Kotori
