#genderqueer main character

[overlord-off-record]

Just using ao3 for my personal writing notebook, because it’s better organized than I am.

Genderqueer Daff gets press-ganged into marriage shenanigans. I’ll describe this better when I don’t have to rush to get ready for work.

I have now decided that modern AU Mizu uses both he/him and she/her pronouns and that she affectionates kicking Taigen's ass at the dojo. She also stole Taigen's girlfriend once or twice and his best friend Ringo gives him freebies from his restaurant whenever she comes around to have a bowl of noodles.

Saw a YT vid with the title, "Fandom Can't Handle Asexuality"

You're right, they can't... Because it doesn't fucking exist to them.

#aroace #asexual #enby people arent real either #we're told to stop using neopronouns and to stop being aroace bc 'nobody will take LGBT seriously' #keep being exclusionary #i dont want to be your friend if you're gonna act like that #I'm a genderqueer aroace person who's pronouns are it/its and you're gonna fucking respect that or be called a bigot #this shit has got to stop #also... because it matters #dont be ableist #ever. just dont #one of the main reasons i hate Alastor so much... is the fandom's treatment of him as a character #most of them completely erase his sexuality in favor of shitty crack ships. #I think a QPR with Lucifer or Rosie is a cute idea! but that's it #keep Vox pining for Alastor... that's great too #its like when I tried to erase Porter Gage's Bisexuality.... It was wrong and I've changed (Fallout 4's romanceable companions are cannonic #cannonically bisexual... I don't make the rules) I was just mad because someone had MY BLORBO in a disgusting ship and I got sick of seeing #it... And THEN I learned how to block tags!!! #idk where this is going #i'm just upset that aros and aces and enbys are erased #maybe it's a confirmation bias and i've just spent too long doing demographic research #i HATE demographic research #it takes me to disgusting places #i need to find my sewing patterns so I can refocus my energy into something good

Once Matt and June leave for work Hello/Goodbye are in Girl City hsfdhs

#I just realized how few boys I have other than Matt #and the main boys #that’s so funny hsfhd #also need more nonbinary characters in here #can’t have Morgan be the only rep #June is genderqueer but isn’t like. conscious of it #it just doesn’t matter to him #he doesn’t clock his gender at all so it’s not something he thinks about

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon

Aster has little to offer folks in the way of rebuttal when they call her ogre and freak. She's used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she were truly a monster, she'd be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remains of her world. Aster lives in the lowdeck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations, Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way, the ship's leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer, Aster learns there may be a way to improve her lot--if she's willing to sow the seeds of civil war.

I love finding books that no one is talking about but at the same time it's so lonely

#the series im about to finish doesnt even have rule34 #preinternet fantasy #i want to draw all the characters but there are so many and i never have time #the main character is genderqueer if you care #in a book written in 1989

[happybunnykat]

Okay

#a talking bunkat #My main problem is I want a flag that matches both the hc gender/sexuality I have for that character AND my gender/sexuality #BUT ALSO the color pallets have to look good together #Which it why I kept Genderqueer Joshua for so long tbh #but. Idk. I kind of want to draw him again but also I want to move on? #Anyway. Maybe I'll draw a few different options and see what I like #or have people vote on them

extremely hyperfixated on alison bechdel

#fascinated by the politics shown in dykes to watch out for #it’s such a fun book to practice critical thinking on #cuz every character is a parody #yes mo is shown to be transphobic and fearmongering but she’s also shown as blowing *everything* out of proportion #that’s one of mo’s key traits is her obsessive unrealistic and annoying concern about everything going wrong in the world #also the nuances of lesbianism and queerness #one of the main characters comes out as a ‘bi-dyke’ after we’ve known her as a lesbian and starts a long term relationship with a man #the titular butch lois dates a ‘genderqueer boy dyke’ and a gay trans man (during his transition) #and is shown as a trans ally through the entire book #supporting the first trans character in the book (a trans lesbian) against mo’s transphobia #sorry this is probably incoherent i just have so many thoughts about this book #(all quotation marks represent direct book quotes)

"shiver being nb would be bad bc of stereotypes" dude an nb character in a nintendo game would be fucking historical and you're complaining that they're not diverse enough get OUT

#op is brown btw. lmao #fungi.txt #splatalk #like YEAH I get your point but you need to understand that this is nintendo. this is a mainstream triple a company. #even if it's subtext shiver's genderqueerness would be a huge fucking deal #it has nothing to do with their appearance and everything to do with the fact that a main character #in a mainstream videogame from a triple a company #known for being [gasp] family friendly and appealing to young audiences #could be non-binary

[pandoratheprocrasticreator]

like honestly just give your non binary characters traditionally "gendered" features. just do it. it's not like being androgynous ever stopped non binary characters from being misgendered.

frisk undertale and kris deltarune were androgynous and are only ever referred to by "they/them" and ppl are still arguing over how the "main character is not the player but their own person" message didn't apply to their genders bc they refuse to wrap their head around different pronouns. raine owlhouse was paraded around as "disney's first ever nb representation" by everyone and their mother but bc they have short hair other countries dub them as male. this also happens to most anime nb characters bc of how japanese pronouns work. halara raincode literally has the color scheme of the non binary flag AND their in-game profile says that they, and i quote "have no specified gender" AND several characters remark on it in the actual game but bc theyre voiced by a female voice actor ppl still call them a woman.

like literally at this point just give your nb characters huge tits and a massive beard. if ppl refuse to accept the existence of non binary characters in media, then there is no way to make a character non binary "enough" to convince them otherwise. no matter how much you hammer in their androgyny in an attempt to detach them from "male" and "female," there will be people determined to assign gender roles to any trait you give your character.

creators being hesitant to give their non binary characters traits that could be associated with a binary gender is why every goddamn genderqueer character that the creator wants you to take seriously in popular media has shoulder length hair and a board-flat figure and a perfectly neutrally pitched voice. like. just do what you want at this point. the character is non binary because your story said so and people who misgender them would have done that no matter how androgynous they look.

so there’s this story that i had started to kinda put together back in my Episode days.. it wasn’t super thought out and was just kinda me trying to play around with getting used to the platform. but then i kinda started doing research for the story (zombie apocalypse centric) to make things more realistic & and then i kept imagining scenarios, and now i have notes upon notes & so many various small scenes for this story that i never actually planned to write 😭 and last night i wrote almost 5k words for a scenario i thought of… which is… a lot considering all this past year i’ve written 0 words towards a story 💀 so uh idk what that was about. but now im ready to kinda write some more so idfk

#and it’s like… im ngl since i’ve started the story idea i’ve noticed my writing has gotten better #still not great but better #and i’ve found that i’ve been letting the scenes play out naturally #so when my characters are talking. i kinda just let them speak. idk how to describe it #like Eric was supposed to be… like an aizawa from mha… but now he’s kinda like a Julian from the arcana #idk its just how it’s naturally come out #bcuz i wanted the scene where the main group finds Eric & questions whether or not #they can trust him so Keith asks Eric if he’s been bitten and if he’s just lying and Eric’s response is #‘what you want me to strip so you can inspect me?’ #and since then i’ve found that that is now Eric’s character #also it’s gay #so so gay #and Keith is trans #and another one might be genderqueer too #idk yet #anyways it’s just thoughts #so yeah #mine #delete later?

when i was talking about the names i was also thinking about kihrin in the second book because i was in the first bits of the book when janel and brother qown are trying to explain everything and (although i think he's? getting more used to it? considering they are 3/4ths of the way through this book at least) for so long he was just like wait hold. hold on step back a moment can you explain this one to me. and it is such a nice way to show the learning & the mistakes in such a natural way so as to set up for the pain as janel is constantly misgendered, both in yor and also for the not knowing why with oreth (which for the latter. OUCH). it's a very interesting take on gender even with the lack of me getting to see the geldings where are the genders that are transed in a specific non binary way. BUT obviously dorna is extremely cool go dorna <3 she and that guy were like t4t but like opposite and i think that's beautiful

Yeah!! Kihrin is just so open to everything even when he's confused and I love that about him. You're saying your country has a third gender and you're a female man and this lesbian used to be a man until she went to a festival of trans your gender? I don't understand half of those words but that doesn't mean it isn't real and doesn't matter, would you mind explaining it to me again? He's confused but he's got the spirit! Literally!

And I appreciate that he doesn't necessarily get it all right away, he has to double check, and he compares it against what he knows. Because when you encounter something for the first time it's not necessarily natural to immediately accept that, so there's a learning curve. Which he embarks on willingly and we get to see it! he wants to be taught and is willing to engage with things outside his perspective! Kihrin D'Mon I love you

It is a shame we don't get to see any geldings, as someone who would be a gelding who doesn't run (translation for those who haven't read: asexual who is neither binary man nor woman internally). But I 100% appreciate the fact that they exist and that their existance is acknowledged and included non-judgmentally. There's so much other queerness going on (though rip janel, so many people keep calling her a woman </3) that that's enough to just know about it.

And Dorna! And her former spouse! They really are the opposite of t4t you're right, that's beautiful. What if we were in love and had a kid but then we both transed our genders and now we're not attracted to each other anymore but we still value and wish each other well in our new lives <3

#a chorus of dragons #quil's queries #soryasongsaa #janel explained her gender fuckery and I fell in love with her character on the spot #i LOVE having a genderqueer main character #reading cis queer stories is valuable as well. but there's something about reading a non cis queer pov that's like coming home #because we see things through their head. and when they're binary and cis it's like. there's a wall between us. a disconnect #you know? #not that we can't connect on other levels or that you /need/ connection for a story to be valuable #just that finding someone like you is a breath of fresh air every once in a while

Sometimes I worry about writing badly about experiences my characters have that I don’t (like diabetes and autism) and then I remember that I am also doing a bad job of writing about a dairy allergy and genderqueerness (things I do experience) so I don’t need to worry

#me five years into writing about shay: shit forgot he was allergic to dairy #I have also been struggling with not making him genderqueer #by the time I’ve finished this novel I will have no more cis main characters #my own post #saved to drafts May 25th

I think the reason Guilty Gear in particular tends to resonate with trans people is because it consistently champions themes of recklessly being yourself and living freely. Obviously there's canonically genderqueer characters like Bridget and Testament and that representation draws queer people in, but the reason they're here in the first place is because of those themes.

The characters all have things they want to break free from, most often societal obligations, and many of them have succeeded in this by the time Strive takes place, having become happy, actualized people. When you listen to the soundtrack, you get rock ballad after rock ballad about wanting to do things your own way, and be yourself. At its very core, Guilty Gear is a game that's in love with the idea of people finding themselves. Heck, the main character has the word "free" literally written on his outfit.

It's more punk than Street Fighter, more optimistic than Mortal Kombat, more relatable than Tekken. And the music slaps, too.
