I might not be sapphic anymore but I did not spend my teen years scared and angry and fighting tooth-and-nail for my right to love women just to be told that my attraction to them isn't queer because I'm a man. Fuck that.

death note headcanons
because i know my death note mutuals aren’t getting what they wanted from me
light
-can crack his elbows the way one would crack their knuckles
-probably had to do a musical elective in his first year of middle school and chose guitar cause he thought it would be easy but it wasn’t.
-the type of song he really enjoys is very specific. going to hell yet i tried so so hard to please god song. i missed my only chance song. why wasn’t i like the other kids song. thrones playlist. i could elaborate but i won’t
-as for sexuality, i see him as not wanting to put a label on whatever he is in theory but in practice being some type of bispec (probably berriromantic) for romantic attraction and then somewhere on the asexual spectrum for sexual attraction.
-as for gender i see him as agender whose not really in labeling himself as anything when it comes to sexuality and gender.
-agender but probably 100% fine with being super male presenting. he just wants to keep out of gender as a convo and that’s great. good for him
-no!!!!! i refuse to say this mf is aromantic (because it’s not accurate and it’d be an insult to aromantic people to say he’s aro)!!!!!
-just because he manipulated misa and kiyomi into doing his bidding and didn’t love them doesn’t immediately make him aro. i’m sure he could have found someone if he wanted to, and he could have loved them if he was with them to love them, but he wasn’t with them to love them he was with them to use them.
misa
-half belgian half japanese. her parents met in belgium while her father was on vacation.
-also im torn bcos i wanna write an au where misa is mexican and that’s it everything else is the same as canon but i’m pretty sure that’s just me wanting her to be even more Like Me (tm)
-speaks a little bit of english, way more french, and obvi japanese. finds linguistics interesting but doesn’t have enough time to research it that thoroughly
-likes being short and “small” small girl aesthetic i guess but sometimes wishes she had longer legs so she could wear skirts w/o looking silly and short
-panromantic does not see gender at all when becoming attracted to someone. i see her as def on the ace spectrum, maybe something like demisexual or aegosexual. could be me projecting dunno.
-she’s probably dated both girls and boys before
-would NOT break up with someone in a rude way or just dump them. she’d put a lot of effort into an apology and explanation into why.
-if she met miu iruma they’d be best friends. sorry i bring danganronpa into everything guys
-can we please just appeciate mexican misa for a second. she’s cooking sopa de fideo for the task and being the bilingual hot girl we all needed
-mexican misa
-as for her music taste she probably listens to upbeat english language music and sappy love songs. “there is a light that never goes out” and “melt with you” sound like go-tos for her sorry. i could also see her being a bimbo pop ayesha + britney manson girlie though
-tbh whatever your race/ethnicity is you could project it onto misa and it’d work. i love it. anyway d d d d d d d did i say m m m mexican misa
-i think she’d love love love getting her hair done!!! sensitive scalp mf but she’d still love getting her hair done
-mexican misa visiting mexico and getting braids and cute clothes and her fave candy
-was not a theatre kid. sorry guys but her middle and high school didn’t offer theatre 😔😔
lawliet
-chronically dehydrated just because he forgets to drink water. he tries to drink water and always gets afraid of developing kidney / liver problems but he just keeps forgetting. what the fuck L
-soup stan i think he’d love some good soup. soup stan x soup cooker (lawmane)
-i think you could have a really deep convo about anything with L. if you’re passionate about anything he’ll just listen and he’ll talk to you about what he’s passionate about to. he loves to think and would def entertain you with a convo about whether a hot dog is a sandwich or something dumb like that you know.
-he’s a thinker he just loves discussions
-has a british accent when speaking english bcos watari and lived in england you know. he thinks british accents in english sound good tho and LOVES making fun of how silly new york accents are (me too bro. me too)
-if he went to middle school or the japanese/british equivalent of it, he’d def be the type to choose some weird ass elective fucking creative writing instead of the “normal” guitar, choir, band, orchestra and shit

Round 2b Match 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rashmi Jamil/Amelie Macon (Entropic Float)
Fic count: 0
Milo/Piers (Pokemon)
fic count: 29
"COUNTRY BOY X EMO CITY BOY, HIMBO X GOTH, SHORT AND STRONG X TALL AND SKINNY, SUNSHINE ONE X GRUMPY ONE C'MON GUYS THEY'RE EVERYTHING it is MIND boggling they aren't more popular"
Rashmelie propaganda under cut!
Rashmelie:
"this essay is going to be reused whole cloth from the submission of them to the 17 million years of pining poll! because unfortunately i do not have the energy to go insane enough to write up anything new oh.
my god. where the fuck do i start with them for real.
okay so, theyve been friends since early childhood, and before either of them came out (Rashmi is agender, they/them, while Amelie is a trans girl, she/her, and they are both mspec which is a bit less relevant but is also there). the earliest time that we know that they have feelings for each other is when theyre both 14, and Rashmi - already out, with their entire family (parents and grandma) supporting them without question - is moving. uhhh 90% of american geography names are the same to me so i might lie there. from Nevada, where they both grew up, to New York, where Rashmi is planning on studying dance further, which has always been their plan; around 14 is when they ran out of teachers at home.
they quietly hope Amelie doesnt confess her feelings for them, as they fear it might tempt them to stay, which they cannot allow themself to do. Amelie, meanwhile, is very carefully not thinking about gender, because her parents are quite frankly the worst. over the course of the years before they meet back up, Amelie has had some dates, but each time, they dont work out, and in her own words, put logs on the flame she carries for Rashmi.
Rashmi, meanwhile. gets married. one of Rashmi's biggest struggles in their romantic pursuits has been the fact that they are both Indian and queer. it has been a struggle for them to find someone who respects both - someone who respects their gender identity while not throwing their culture under the bus. that is one of the factors contributing to the way their relationship with "Ajay" (we learn that this name isnt his real one, but it was magically replaced in Rashmi's memories of him and we dont know it) played out: he is also Indian, and the first thing he asked them upon meeting them was what their pronouns were. and it was all good.
until it wasnt.
i would love to get into that deeper, but the important point is that "Ajay" is kind of a piece of garbage, whose crimes include finding Rashmi's address when they didnt give it out, deliberately not sending Amelie her wedding invitation because Rashmi told him they used to have a crush on her, driving them to drop out of dance school, and general possessiveness (notable being the fact that, whenever he is home, he always asks them to stay home too, which leads to them dropping their social circle and their hobbies). one of the places it grows from is "Ajay" being ace and not quite believing that Rashmi accepts that. he also has a substance abuse problem.
all of that culminates as they return from a short visit to their parents, and he in a fit pushes them down a long flight of stairs.
in the meantime... god, i cant even figure out what parts of information are important about Amelie here. i would put as notable the fact that she only figured out she was a girl something like a year before the events of the game - and only ever came out to Rashmi, who in turn told their parents...
and who didnt realize that Amelie's workplace didnt know. her workplace is just. terrible in social terms. she loves the work itself (its food industry, a restaurant in a casino, dont remember the exact job description) but her coworkers are being the absolute worst. a cesspool of toxic masculinity. also an environment for Amelie's undiagnosed psychosis. she is prone to auditory hallucinations.
after being outed to her boss while also hearing from Rashmi's parents that their husband is... lets just say bad for them, she, while safely at home, hallucinates that her boss or maybe her father is breaking down the door.
simultaneously with Rashmi as they are falling down the stairs, they make Wishes.
these are not widely understood; from the context of the game, it seems as though some people get a Wish when in significant peril, or in distress. you do not need to use the Wish immediately as you get it, but they both did.
essentially, what Rashmi Wishes for is a way to escape from their husband that wouldnt raise a fuss; and Amelie Wishes for a place where she and Rashmi can both be safe. (i am very muddly on the details there) their Wishes create the anomalous clocktower where the game takes place."

My Lgbt headcanons for the Batfam
Inspired by my lovely and close friend @genderfluid-bat posting his!!!
Bruce:Bi aroaceflux,trans man who presents androgynously because of being goth and thinking gender roles are stupid,he/him only or he'll start biting people.Also!!Harvey was his first boyfriend :]
Alfred:Gay and the token cis but The Ultimate AllyTM,he/him.Married to Lucius
Selina:Canon bi queen <3 Trans woman who if asked will say her gender is 'Catwoman',she/they and switches preferences for them every other couple of days.Is 100% supportive of Bruce's aspecness even though she's not on that spectrum herself at all(now the autism spectrum on the other hand)
Dick:Gnc nonbinary trans woman who identifies with 'tomboy' over butch because of her egg cracking so early(I'd say when she was about one year into being a Teen Titan),bidemi,she/her only.That last part is in my DC rewrite buf if we're talking in canon,she comes off to me as surpressing her womanhood because of all her trauma and the expectations put on her.Also people refer to her as 'The Boy turned Girl Wonder' and it makes her chuckle
Jason:Agender trans man who says his gender 'mostly nonbinary but being a guy makes things funny as hell',uses bi and pan and demi for his attraction labels,he/they/xe.Eddie was his bi awakening and he's been presenting as a boy since before he even became Robin
Babs:Demiwoman who like Dick defines her gender as 'tomboy',lesbian,she/they.Married to Dinah
Tim:Canon bi!!!Agender and transmasc like Jason but i can see the transfem hc too and also autigender!!He/they/she
Stephanie:Transfem demigirl,bipan romance wise and also demisexual,femmegender and autigender and she/they/petal/scale(i hc her as having dragons as a special interest!!).Dating Cass and they plan to get married one day
Cass:Butchgender and autigender trans woman,wlw(i can see lesbian and bi equally!!),she/they/bat
Duke:Transmasc genderfluid and bigender with a mix of fem and masc presentation,bipan and demi(love me some projection onto my faves),he/they/sun.They're that post that says 'Fuck passing,i want people to be so confused on what gender i am they explode'
Damian:Trans girl,lesbian,she/her only.Her egg cracks in her mid-teens and she becomes Batgirl
Kory:Trans woman who hoards femme xenogenders,pan,she/they.Dick's wife
Terry:Autigender trans guy,bi and pan,he/they/bat.Is a t4t couple with Maxine
Maps:Autigender trans girl(with a 'kidcore' and 'girly girl' brand of autism specifically),bi,she/they/fae.Her and Damian are childhood best friends to lovers and she helped her egg crack by giving her a mix of a crush and gender envy
Don't rb if you're gonna say dumb shit,especially if you're cis :)

🍭 Well then, my trusted confidant. Let me in on the basics. Genders and orientations, Genshin-Verse or perhaps another occasion?
Sell me the Kokochaeya, I have something exciting in mind but I would like to make sure it aligns with your vision of it.
Awaiting your response and praying for your well-being.
you've got yourself a deal. the ship sails so hold my hand
kokochaeya basics
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now, first i'm obligated to let you know that i also have a few versions of it. first is based in canon, supported by some lore inferences and a few of my hcs. second is in a modern setting.
kokomi and kaeya are the children of lost civilizations that perished a long time ago. even if kaeya isnt the prince of khaenriah he is still the abyss founder's son and kokomi is the dragon of water.
childe on the other hand, though his foundation is in the teyvat we know he has close links to the abyss. having been there, wielding a power that was taught to him in the abyss. aside from that childe lives in deception, carries the aftereffects of betrayal by those he deemed his comrades, is forsaken even by his own god. no matter how strong and confident he presents himself it is apparent that under it all is someone who doubts his place in this world. they are all individuals with secrets and are burdened by responsibilities.
kokomi is the divine priestess and the "dormant dragoness", kaeya is hiding GOD KNOWS WHAT from us on a daily basis, and childe refrains from giving away anything important regarding his time in the abyss.
one sinner, one priestess, and one that is in the middle. light within dark, dark within light and of course, grey.
kokomi who feels like she failed in following her mother’s footsteps, kaeya who vaguely remembers his own and childe who has to watch his own look at him with a fearful gaze that she tries rly hard to hide.
three people who don't and can't belong anywhere yet they are tasked with protecting their nations. childe serves the tsaritsa, kokomi is in charge of the shrine and the island while leading the resistance, and kaeya is in an organization that aims to ensure the peace and security of an entire nation.
they are loyal and devoted despite the betrayals, despite being cursed with a life here, they will do what it takes to serve.
its either three bisexuals or three lesbians (agender koko, nb childe and genderfluid kaeya) to me.
however there is a specific modern version of it that is driving me insane. and that one is trans girl koko trans boy childe and genderfluid kaeya. half vishap koko and fox hybrid childe.
we start out with established kokokae, have been dating since they were teenagers, grew up together in a sense.
despite not being a part of the romantic relationship, childe has always been with them. three best friends, extremely close. but the funny part is that childe literally does everything with them with the exception of sex.
they live together, cook and eat together, childe is even invited to dates. movie nights are always all three of them. late at night one of them always lazily drags childe into their bed so they can cuddle.
childe sometimes wakes up in the middle, one head on each side of his chest. he is deeply in love with both of them but he doesn't know that either.
in addition to that he also sucks at figuring out that they love him too. i think this version i will write, the 'getting together' part of this scenario, smut too i believe since that's the only thing they never had before.
have i made the sale please say yes ?

These are my newest genshin oc's, Delilah and Florence! They are not selfship related oc's, but are oc's that are sapphic and dating each other.
Delilah (the one up top) is an ex fatui agent. She's very happy go lucky, very kind hearted, willing to stand up for what she believes in and would literally die for anyone she holds dear to her. She is the kind of girl you just become best friends with over night. She is a cis woman, lesbian, and goes by any pronouns as long as they are not he/him. I'm still fleshing out her character so this as much info of her as I have right now.
Florence (at the bottom) is a researcher/scientist from the Fontaine Research Institute. She, funnily enough, hates the fatui with a passion due to some things that happened in her past. She's just exhausted and tired all the time from her work, but that (obviously) doesn't stop her from doing it. She has been repeatedly dodged the fatui's efforts at recruiting her, but she is always adamant that she will never help them with whatever they need.
Florence goes by she/it pronouns, has an unlabeled sexuality (often says she's open to anything/will experiment things in the name of science) and she is agender. She finds life to be exhausting and frustrating but one thing she finds joy in is her work and of course her loving girlfriend, Delilah.
Uh so yeah these are my new genshin oc's and they mean the world to me and I hope to talk/post more about them soon <3

ᴘʀᴏɴᴏᴜɴꜱ➙ They/Them ʙᴜɪʟᴅ➙ 𝘈𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤
ꜰᴀᴋᴇ-ᴅᴀᴛᴇ ᴘᴀʀᴛɴᴇʀ➙ 𝐇𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐧 ʜᴏᴜꜱᴇ ꜱʏᴍʙᴏʟ➙ ❄️
ʀᴜɴᴇꜱ➙ ...
𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐦 prefers their friends to call them by their nickname: “𝐂𝐚𝐥”
They're touch-averse (but are comfortable PERSONALLY making contact with a select few people ... & even enjoying it if it's 𝐇𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐧), the only loving touch they experienced growing up was from their mother; after her death they began to find incoming physical contact revolting 😖
Even though their fathers DESPISE each other, 𝐂𝐚𝐥 & 𝐇𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐧 get along surprisingly well (agreeing to be fake-date partners has the added bonus of annoying their fathers >:] + they've been mutually crushing on one another since that time at the fountain, if they're honest with themselves)
They don't enjoy killing or looking at dead bodies, but their upbringing & unfortunate personal experiences, has left them desensitized to a degree (they sadly still have nightmares about everything though) 💀😮‍💨
𝐂𝐚𝐥 is extroverted, yet shy (mostly due to how others tend to view/treat them), they enjoy going to parties but prefer to “soak in” the atmosphere instead of “actively” taking part in whatever the partygoers are doing
While they've been able to keep their face scar-free, even after all the intensive training they've had, the same cannot be said about the rest of their body (the most noticeable of their scars are the claw marks on their shoulder/neck from the bear attack) 🩹
𝐂𝐚𝐥 struggles when dealing with people who genuinely care about their well-being (as most are either afraid of them or want something from them), they're left feeling unsure if they really even deserve it
Most people (i.e. those that don't know them personally) assume their “flat” expressions are due to them being cold & unfriendly; instead they're simply nervous about being around strangers that most likely already have negative preconceived notions about them (😐 <-screaming internally)
𝐂𝐚𝐥 always tries to be as formal/polite as possible with anyone they're unfamiliar with, but when around those they consider friends, their behaviour & speech becomes much more casual/sarcastic
They did their best to avoid completing the 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒 (the very thought of killing another HUMAN made them feel sick, even hunting animals was hard for them), but watching their mother being beheaded broke something inside them ... ending in a room full of frozen corpses with only their mother's body left unscathed 🥶
In the aftermath of their icy explosion, 𝐂𝐚𝐥 spent their days in a semi-catatonic daze (they finally came back to themselves the day their father returned home; sobbing into his chest as he held them which was sadly the only time he's ever done so)
Everytime 𝐇𝐚𝐲𝐝𝐞𝐧 calls them “𝐻𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑦” they melt inside (despite knowing he's just teasing them & that his choice of words don't mean anything in the end ... not that they'd want them to 😳!!! )
Despite their father's teachings, 𝐂𝐚𝐥 prefers to approach life/others with an empathetic attitude (but will NOT hesitate to “dispose of” anything that threatens them or those they care about)
...
𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐦 means “𝘥𝘰𝘷𝘦” (Latin-> Scottish) 🕊️

Hey pooklet!!! How did you discover you're non-binary? Did your friends go well with it?
Tumblr media
Hey anon!
Short answer: "Girl" never felt right to me, heard about nonbinary as a concept in my 20s on a random livejournal, exactly one of my close friends was cool about it and she's now my wife, lol.
Much, much longer answer under the cut.
I know it's a trope to say "I always felt wrong in my assigned gender" but in my case it's true. For me it was very confusing because I do like a lot of the femme stuff that kind of gets pushed at you when you're AFAB. Pink and dolls and dresses and long hair, stuff like that. But the idea that those things made me a "girl" just never sat right. I remember being like 13 and asking my first boyfriend "would you still like me if I wasn't a girl" and he was like "ew no" and it made me feel so deeply sad for reasons I couldn't quite explain. There were a lot of little instances like that, but that one really sticks out in my mind.
I first ran across the concept of being nonbinary on a livejournal community that I don't think had anything to do with gender? I don't remember where, it was some fandom or hobby thing. Like, I don't think it was this exactly, but it was something as silly as someone posting pictures of their BJD and being like "I decided this doll is nonbinary!" Something like that. And I was like wtf and immediately went down the rabbit hole. Which was much shorter like 12-13 years ago than it is today, but what I found made me go "oh shit, this is the thing, huh?"
Around that time, I was also starting to make more of an effort to get involved with Native American communities and studying the history of my specific nation (Oneida). I was raised by the white half of my family so it wasn't something I really got to experience growing up. And in doing so I learned about being Two-Spirit, and even though that's not how I identify per se (there's a lot of debate around exactly how you define being Two-Spirit and who has access to the label, etc.) it felt sort of like, idk, permission? Like, "this is part of my cultural heritage, it predates the gender binary, I'm allowed to not be a girl."
But it wasn't an all-at-once coming out sort of thing. I kinda floated it at the people closest to me, like "how would you feel if I wasn't a girl lol wouldn't that be crazy lol."
One of my two best friends at the time was very resistant to me not being a girl, us not being best girl friends, who had the sort of romantic-Victorian platonic-but-intense girl friendship. So we ended up having no friendship at all.
The person that I was dating at the time was outright hostile to the idea. Abusively hostile. And the thing about it was he (pronouns at the time, don't know if he's changed them, not going to look him up to find out) had also just come out as trans. He/him agender. And when I repeated that same question that I asked my 13-year-old boyfriend "would you still love me if I wasn't a girl?" His response was something to the tune of "I guess it's fine as long as you still have a girl's body." Which was a wild thing to hear from someone who was also AFAB. Weren't too long after that we broke up.
My other best friend @skulldilocks, maybe you've heard of her, she was my oasis. She never judged, she was curious and interested and so kind about it. The second I told her "I don't think I'm a girl" she was like "yeah, okay, you would know best" and that was it. She was one of maybe three people in my life (the other two being my cousins) that didn't tell me I was wrong or pushed back at all. She called me by my chosen name, used they/them pronouns, corrected herself when she got it wrong, and that was it. It was just, idk, easy. And it made me feel like maybe this wasn't some forbidden, shameful thing that I knew was true about myself, but I still couldn't tell anyone.
So I started to assert my gender and pronouns in online spaces. I was really clumsy about it at first, and my terrible experiences with the people that I had been closest to had me feeling very defensive, expecting a lot of pushback. Aaaand, I got it!
Some of it was definitely my own doing, like, getting upset with people who misgendered me out of confusion rather than active hostility, but there was a big faction that went right to work on the trolling. Most of it was contained on simsecret at first, with lots of secrets as well as huge threads of people saying that I was lying, calling me slurs, discussing my genitals, claiming to know me personally IRL and to have insider knowledge that I really was a girl and I was just doing all of this for attention.
And then it spilled over from simsecret to GoS, to my livejournal, to every part of the community that I engaged with. I went into lockdown mode. Deleted my livejournal, changed my email, turned off commenting or messaging where possible. I left the community completely for about a year and a half. I still played the game, still shared pics with @skulldilocks but I had no intention of returning.
But then stuff just kinda changed. It didn't have anything to do with me, it was just that more people were starting to identify outside the gender binary, so it stopped being so stigmatized in the community. Forums started cracking down on people being shitty about gender. And some very kind people sent messages to me through @skulldilocks saying that they hoped I came back some day. So I did. I still get the occasional hateful anon message but at this point there's literally nothing left that they can say to me that I haven't already heard a decade ago.
And there is definitely more kindness and love, now. Turns out if someone treats you like shit, you can just leave! Tell her to give you back your Sailor Moon manga and to never call you again! Kick him out of your house and take custody of the cats! Excise the assholes, curate your online space, don't get involved in bad faith "discussions" about parts of yourself that you know to be true. Who you are just ain't up for debate.
Also, if you find someone who is your oasis, who never presumes to know you better than you know yourself, who can answer the question “would you still love me if I wasn’t a girl” with an emphatic “fuck yes,” get your shit together, tell her you love her, and marry her. 10/10, highly recommend.

i will go with the tried and true "egbert"
Sexuality Headcanon: honestly i don't even know lol. my hc changes based on what's most convenient for me at the time. that said i do lean heavily towards aromantic Gender Headcanon: AMAB, agender, any pronouns, fully unsubscribed from gender and now doesn't care. still goes by john but tried out june while they were still questioning Ship: jvrisrezi BROTP: john and rose!!! dave gets the title of best bro but rose is his best friend NOTP: i don't really have a NOTP for her so here's my crackship idea. i do think it would be funny if when she thought she was a cis guy she dated dirk and then she started questioning her gender and thought she was a girl for a period of time and had to break up with him and it's really awkward and it bums everyone out for like 4 months. nobody wins in this scenario i just think it's funny Random headcanon: triforce tshirt General Opinion: very fun character who i love a lot. unfortunately only my mutuals and i understand them

Breakfast Club pride hcs but it's just somewhat obvious. Plus just general hcs about them
John- genderqueer, omnisexual (preference for women), poly
Claire- cis woman, lesbian, demisexual
Andrew- demiboy, bisexual (no preference)
Brian- boyflux, casssexual
Allison- agender, pansexual, aroflux
Little acts of affection they do:
John- bringing someone snacks and random objects throughout the day. Could be an energy drink, could be a pen stolen from a teacher's office, who knows?
Claire- offering to help with someone's makeup, face/ hair routine. Also likes to be able to have deeper conversations that she doesn't really get to have with her friends.
Andrew- fake punching someone. Will just pretend to beat up someone's arm, sometimes making sound effects. Also likes to "test catching skills" by throwing random things at someone he knows can catch.
Brian- infodumping, both listening and infodumping himself. If he's listening to someone else's, xe will usually provide xyr own opinions if the topic warrants it (and if the person's ok with that).
Allison- giving someone drawings and sketches, either big and detailed or a tiny stickman, they'll do it all. Would definitely draw a psychedelic pattern then write "balls" over it and hand it to someone. Also stealing a person's stuff. Won't keep it for long so they don't accidentally stress the person out, but finds it funny to see how long it takes for them to realise it's gone.
Ideal place to hang out/ have a date:
John- literally anywhere. Could be sat in the middle of a field, he doesn't care. Finds it fun to go to kids parks in the late evening and chill there. Kind of thing where you'd go to a shop, grab loads of snacks and drinks, and just walk around. Stopping at random places every so often.
Claire- nights in. Not really one for big nights out. Don't get me wrong, she'd love to go on a really fun jam-packed evening, restaurants, theatre, etc. But spending quality time with someone is enough for her. Baking, telling stories, whatever seems fun.
Andrew- movies and arcades. Loves being playfully competitive, so he's gonna have a great time in an arcade. Doesn't care how many tickets he wins, as long as he wins the most games against the other person. Also loves action movies, will buy tons of popcorn, but still manages to run out halfway through. Happens to the best of us.
Brian- coffee shops. Absolutely loves if it's a bookshop with a café, xe just likes the comfy atmosphere. Also likes hanging out in random fields, it just feels very free. He would absolutely watch the sunset with someone, so both morning and evening hanging out vibes.
Allison- museums. Those interactive museums are the best, it's much more interesting for them if it's hands on and not just reading information. But also likes to do some trouble making shit like trying to stay in the museum after it's closed. They technically don't have a curfew so might as well stay and check out what it's like all creepy dark in there.

its okay teehee
luckly the post got to me by a friend who has had to hear abt this ship before teehee
ok so afaik this ship doesnt break any boundaries?? like i saw a post abt cc!pearl being ok w ships now as long as ppl dont tag her in it, and well cc!scott has been ok w it for a while
but like... trans Pearl x Scott, I'm obsessed w them in both life series and empires, i got many hcs and ship names for em
by trans Pearl I specifically have the hc of gendervoid verinix mlm She/He/Void/Moon Pearl. However im also a big fan of transmasc, bigender and agender Pearl hcs!!! or switching up the She/He by He/She, mostly go by She/He since its called a she throughout all the series for obvious reasons lol..
And Scott just stays a cis gay he/him man bc idk it suits him well enough
i just think they have the best friends(cough w a bit of an unlabeled queer relationship going on) to enemies to frienemies to lovers, throughout seasons
its so late at night that its hard to think too much rn but i can continue explaining The Vision tomorrow if allowed..

I just love my gays so much they're such a big comfort to me... just two gays living in a cottage w a clearly queer but unlabeled relationship... two gays having relationship drama... two gays having gay tension and pulling petty pranks while trying to forgive eachother for the divorce era... two gays finally healing and getting their shit together and finally labeling their relationship and having lil dates in secret behind their allies backs before their eventual demise in the finale...
just think abt the possibilities
-Sincerely, a humble MajorMoon yaoi anon...
(im a gay man i use the word yaoi as a lighthearted joke)
Oh thats so silly..

Round 4 Match 3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rashmi Jamil/Amelie Macon (Entropic Float)
Fic count: 0
Haruhi Fujioka/Renge Houshakuji (Ouran High School Host Club)
fic count: 18
"Two girls bein gay. (And it’s canon that Renge has a crush on Haruhi after she gets over Kyoya)
Rashmelie propaganda under cut!
"this essay is going to be reused whole cloth from the submission of them to the 17 million years of pining poll! because unfortunately i do not have the energy to go insane enough to write up anything new oh.
my god. where the fuck do i start with them for real.
okay so, theyve been friends since early childhood, and before either of them came out (Rashmi is agender, they/them, while Amelie is a trans girl, she/her, and they are both mspec which is a bit less relevant but is also there). the earliest time that we know that they have feelings for each other is when theyre both 14, and Rashmi - already out, with their entire family (parents and grandma) supporting them without question - is moving. uhhh 90% of american geography names are the same to me so i might lie there. from Nevada, where they both grew up, to New York, where Rashmi is planning on studying dance further, which has always been their plan; around 14 is when they ran out of teachers at home.
they quietly hope Amelie doesnt confess her feelings for them, as they fear it might tempt them to stay, which they cannot allow themself to do. Amelie, meanwhile, is very carefully not thinking about gender, because her parents are quite frankly the worst. over the course of the years before they meet back up, Amelie has had some dates, but each time, they dont work out, and in her own words, put logs on the flame she carries for Rashmi.
Rashmi, meanwhile. gets married. one of Rashmi's biggest struggles in their romantic pursuits has been the fact that they are both Indian and queer. it has been a struggle for them to find someone who respects both - someone who respects their gender identity while not throwing their culture under the bus. that is one of the factors contributing to the way their relationship with "Ajay" (we learn that this name isnt his real one, but it was magically replaced in Rashmi's memories of him and we dont know it) played out: he is also Indian, and the first thing he asked them upon meeting them was what their pronouns were. and it was all good.
until it wasnt.
i would love to get into that deeper, but the important point is that "Ajay" is kind of a piece of garbage, whose crimes include finding Rashmi's address when they didnt give it out, deliberately not sending Amelie her wedding invitation because Rashmi told him they used to have a crush on her, driving them to drop out of dance school, and general possessiveness (notable being the fact that, whenever he is home, he always asks them to stay home too, which leads to them dropping their social circle and their hobbies). one of the places it grows from is "Ajay" being ace and not quite believing that Rashmi accepts that. he also has a substance abuse problem.
all of that culminates as they return from a short visit to their parents, and he in a fit pushes them down a long flight of stairs.
in the meantime... god, i cant even figure out what parts of information are important about Amelie here. i would put as notable the fact that she only figured out she was a girl something like a year before the events of the game - and only ever came out to Rashmi, who in turn told their parents...
and who didnt realize that Amelie's workplace didnt know. her workplace is just. terrible in social terms. she loves the work itself (its food industry, a restaurant in a casino, dont remember the exact job description) but her coworkers are being the absolute worst. a cesspool of toxic masculinity. also an environment for Amelie's undiagnosed psychosis. she is prone to auditory hallucinations.
after being outed to her boss while also hearing from Rashmi's parents that their husband is... lets just say bad for them, she, while safely at home, hallucinates that her boss or maybe her father is breaking down the door.
simultaneously with Rashmi as they are falling down the stairs, they make Wishes.
these are not widely understood; from the context of the game, it seems as though some people get a Wish when in significant peril, or in distress. you do not need to use the Wish immediately as you get it, but they both did.
essentially, what Rashmi Wishes for is a way to escape from their husband that wouldnt raise a fuss; and Amelie Wishes for a place where she and Rashmi can both be safe. (i am very muddly on the details there) their Wishes create the anomalous clocktower where the game takes place."

A tangent about myself, corporations, and absolutes, or My Experience.
I am going to speak on my own experience as a now cis white woman, previously a transgender/nb person. I might say things that you won't like, and that's fine. I know that there are people who don't like what I'll say. And that's good. Disliking certain things about people is a great opportunity for growth. It teaches nuance and depth, and there are things about even my closest friends that I don't like and yet see past. I still love them. My best friends are either far left or far right or wholly centrist, and that's okay. Because they're people. And we need to be able to see people as people, instead of just mirrors of our flawed selves.
As a disclaimer, this includes what some might consider transphobia, but I don't. Like parents keeping someone from transitioning bc of their age or someone breaking up with a new trans person. Also includes a death in the family. My own views on topics are heteronormative and based in Christianity, my parents views, my peers views, and the things I've seen and experienced, online and off. Don't discount my views for any of these, and if you do, please explain why.
I'll start with 2020, the year I joined tumblr and started doubting my identity as a woman/girl/female person. It was a rough time for everyone, and my 15 year old egocentrism did not help. At the time, I was dating a man of 16 years. I call him a man because he was wise in many ways, and in my mind he earned the title. But when I started questioning my gender, I told one of my friends about it. Consequently, she told her parents about it. And they told the man I was with about it. Because of my egocentrism, I was blind to how much it hurt him to think that his potential future wife was intent on becoming a man. I would have left him, as it's called, a trans widower. I say would have because there are nuances to this story that I'll explain later on here.
After a while of thinking that I was either a male or something between the genders, I eventually began identifying as a demigirl. The reason I thought I was a man or between the two at the time was my isolation from others, the natural desire to rebel at that age, and the fact that I was seeing so many trans men on YouTube tik tok compilations. On top of these was my stress from school, my stress from switching chores with my younger brother, and the stress of transitioning in itself. I blamed all of my problems on my gender. This did not solve anything. Because it didn't solve anything, I blamed the others around me, growing more and more abrasive towards the people I cared about until my mom pulled me aside and told me that there are people in my life who had it far worse than I did. It was not an actual of transphobia. What she did opened my eyes to the idea that I was not the center of the world, not even the center of my own. She told me that one of my best friends had been the victim of a violent crime, and while I was caught up in my own gender, I completely ignored her pain. I was a worse friend, a worse child, and a worse person, because I was focused solely on my problems and my image. That was when the facade began to break.
I began detransitioning in 2021. It was easy, free, and more freeing than trying to cram who I am into an agender box. I'm very glad that I wasn't able to find hormones at the time, or I'd be suffering the effects to this day. It was an emotional drain for the pressurized bottle I had built up in myself. And it was a struggle. There were times when I'd look in the mirror and think to myself, "I'm very masc presenting today," and then realized that's just how I normally dressed when I was younger. When I completely identified as a girl. It was hard because I saw other people transitioning. And when they finished transitioning, nothing changed. Their circumstances did not get better. Their grades sometimes dropped. Their quality of life went down. Their already strained relationships with their families broke entirely in some cases. It hurt to see.
My ideology then changed. I returned to my religion in August of 2021, and was able to find some peace. It was a great comfort to me, even when tragedy hit. My older brother left the family in pursuit of a narcissist. They were trans as well, but had multiple mental illnesses that made them arguably unfit to take care of another person, much less the polycule they had amassed. This hit my family hard, almost as though my brother had died. (I say this with the experience of losing a parent, not with the intent of coming off as saying "he was dead to us.") He left on a sour note, not telling us that he loved us anymore. I started a D&D campaign in the hopes of having some small connection to him, and it succeeded. Eventually, he was a victim of the very person he left us for, and he came back, traumatized. We have a place for him to this day, and he's at least slightly more comfortable with himself and his gender than he was when he returned to us. He doesn't lie when hardship strikes anymore, and he knows that we love him no matter his choices or his struggles.
In 2022, I got high grades and was nearly able to graduate. I had no need for other curriculum, as I had already met and exceeded the requirements for my state's high school graduates. I was undecided, so I opted to go through the summer of 2023 and see which way the wind blew. Over that summer, my father died. It was during a family trip that we had been planning for a while. It was unexpected, but wasn't as awful as I thought it would be. This may just be because of my religion, as it gives an answer for what goes on after death, and gives anecdotes of folks being brought back to life. I understood that no tears would bring him back. But I also understood that I was his legacy. And that he died proud of himself, his family, and his peers. In all likelihood, he died contentedly.
I quit my part time job and decided to try school again, if for nothing else then for the social security benefits. This proved to be a bad move. The friends I had there promoted unhealthy lifestyles, and although I loved them, I couldn't stay and let them affect me. So I left school, which wasn't something the teachers wanted me to do (I'm sorry Ms. F, I'll come back to show off my sewing projects!), but it was necessary in order to push myself to grow up. That was immediately stifled by a knee surgery (which was prescribed basically the week after my dad's death, bc I dislocated my knee right before going to the hospital to see his cadaver). It is now December, and here I am yapping about my personal life online.
I intended to speak on the near-widower that left me after I came out. We're back together. He still loved me. I just needed to grow up to see that.
There are people out there who might hate you as a trans person. But there's a solid difference between hate, ignorance, and concern. Hate is active oppression. There is oppression, and from what I've seen it's on a systemic and corporate level. But it's not on a personal level. On a personal level there's either ignorance or concern. What I experienced when I was struggling with my gender was concern. There was no ignorance in my case. The people who left me left for the same reason I left my school. It was because they saw the path I was taking and did not want to be shouted over while I was wandering. People can leave people they love because it's better to give a situation to the authorities than it is to try and fix it yourself. If my fiance hadn't left me, my mental and emotional state would have rubbed off on him and hurt him. I could have done more harm if he didn't cut me off when he did. For that, I think I'll forever be grateful. The people who stay stay because they know you need support while you'd still say they're toxic or hateful. That's what I thought of my parents until I was able to see the bigger picture. If your parents are actively beating you or shouting at you or gaslighting you, of course don't stay. But I recommend taking a second to ask about what's happening around you instead of within you. Because of today's culture, I took the notion that the answer was always inside me far too seriously. Sometimes the answer is in the people who care about you.
But this brings me to the second part of my little rant here. I came to the realization that the less people identify with solid and tangible things, the more the corporations in control of our country can manipulate us. There's pridewashing, virtue signalling, deflecting when serious issues are brought up, and we ignore it for the sake of letting these corporations remain the one stable thing in our lives. There are far more tech jobs these days than agriculture, and because of this, we could end up starving while corporations pull an Orwell on us and say there has never been a steady supply of grain. Or that there has always been a poor AQI. Or that we need the new Juicero Pro to do our taxes instead of making juice. I don't feel like America itself is the problem, but the corruption within it. I still rely on a device created with slave labor to share outlandish opinions and borderline radical ideology with you few, but I don't want it and I don't need it. I could just as easily toss this thing against a wall and be fine. (I won't bc my mom would be rather miffed if I did, but you get my point.) I could survive for a good long while without it, and probably be far happier. Same with all the trinkets and plastic I've accumulated, in my bloodstream and otherwise. I have no need nor desire for these things, and yet I keep them.
But there's a need and desire for at least a little tradition, which is expressed by many women who are sick and tired of being lumped into the modern idea of "man, woman, or nonbinary," and just want to be allowed to be tomboys again. Or just want to be allowed to be a wife. There's nothing inherently wrong with desiring a home with a working man and kids. There is something wrong with telling women what they can and can't do, according to modern feminism, and yet the women who want to be homemakers are silenced and shouted down, along with detransitioners among the lgbt. Aren't these people valid too? Isn't their plight just as understandable? But they're pushed to the margins as low statistics that really don't matter in the long run. Along with trans widows/widowers. Is it not wrong that we're ignoring the people who we harm with our movements? Isn't the point that we help the hurt? So why aren't we helping the people we're leaving behind? It's concerning is all. A society based on a single voice is no society at all.
Sorry for the rant. If anything here has resonated with you, feel free to comment about it. Same with anything that has struck a nerve. I miss being able to speak about the things I disagree on in a kind manner. I miss the good that disagreement brings.
