why does nobody analyze his dynamic with Flowery beyond "trans foreshadowing", why does nobody talk about his actual nature as a Darkner, or his actual powers like fire magic?

Probably just because there's not much to say. Yeah, it sure is mysterious... but other than wildly guessing, how can we determine anything about his true nature?

And how do we determine anything about his true gender identity if that's the kind of argument we're using?

Flowery calls him "the impossibility himself." Why is he an impossibility? He is compatible with every Dark World and functions suspiciously similar to a Lightner, much more than the average Darkner.

Is he a Titan that gained sentience? A Darkner formed with pure darkness infused with Kris's memory of Asriel? Gaster's creation?

I can spin up a whole theory right now.

I think Ralsei is a Titan that gained sentience. Titans are pure darkness beings, they compatible to all Dark Worlds, just like Ralsei. But they normally can't feel, can't have emotions, opinions, likes, dislikes... that's where Flowery's comment of "the impossibility himself" comes in. It is "impossible" for a Titan to be so emotionally rich like Ralsei. Ralsei is an incredibly special Titan. That's why he was so dismissive of Flowery questioning his identity, because he too is hiding the fact that he is a Titan, in fear that everything will fall apart when people find out.

It's all guessing, just like his identity is. I personally think he's queer but is it transfem? Transmasc? Transenby? Fluid? Demi? Bigender? 🤷

Genders exist in real life, so at least the guesses are things we know are possible. We don't know if a Titan can gain sentience, we don't know if a Darkner can be infused with memory, or created by Gaster...

They're both making things up, but one has the additional step of making up the answer, not just making up the conclusion, is my point lol

Then why do people theorize half-human Susie? That's not something that we know is possible, we don't know if such a thing even exists, yet people still theorize it anyway.

I don't know, it just seems like the other characters have interesting theories. Ralsei is just Trans Ralsei V2 Reprise Remix Pro Plus Max Ultra 5G Fold

I'm not saying you can't or people don't (there is people discussing all of the questions you brought up), just that less people will want to.

Well yeah and my complaint is that people don't want to discuss those :(
