Bluegeist Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 You can check constants.lua for character genders, wormwood is under Male, not with wx who is under robot. Also, you cant get any more canon than confirmation by the lore master kris herself. He uses he pronouns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Da LOLs Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 it makes sense that he is a he because he produces pollen in spring that you can see it falling from his head and pollinating flowers around him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KXWl1 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Wormwood has two flowers, which possibly means Wormwood is monoecious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfYlch Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 11 minutes ago, KXWl1 said: Wormwood has two flowers, which possibly means Wormwood is monoecious. That could be possible, however Wormwood is revered to as a "he" by other characters and the dev team. He is also listed under the male category and not underneath the same category as WX-78 and other non-gender characters. It could likely be that he is just a male plant with two male flowers as he seems to only release pollen. He fertilizes flowers around himself which causes them to grow quicker and more rapidly. He doesn't give off seeds like a female or monoecious plant or flower, only pollen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S19TealPenguin Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Wormwood isn't biologically a he/him though. Especially based on the flowers visible when Wormwood blooms in their skins. Classic skin - Flower may be a hibiscus, most likely a flower with male and female parts Hollow Skin - Gender in mushrooms can be really weird, but a lot of them have male and female parts Roseate - Roses have male and female parts Cactus - Cacti flowers have male and female parts Until a dev confirms that Wormwood's flower is from a dioecious plant, all of Wormwood flowers are most likely to be "perfect flowers" aka flowers with no gender. Only 6% of plants are dioecious, so Wormwood is most likely to be they/them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the intense dry heat of summer is causing Worwood to be unable to fully develop the seeds after being pollinated. Or Wormwood needs time to develop the seeds, but the 36-56 days between spring and winter ins't enough time. 1 minute ago, Zeklo said: 2 - Gender pronouns aren't attached to biological sex. Does Wormwood understand the concept of gender enough to assign themself one? They seem pretty naive about everything, especially their own existence.

Bluegeist Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Assuming the character's pronouns based on speculative biology is not a good thing. I am quite fine with Wormwood being a he, because it's against the idea that you must be a he/she/they/etc strictly due to x/y/z/etc biology. Again, we have the official word of the lore master that he's a he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
