☆ punch out sexuality headcanons ☆
im running out of funny things to say help me, also tw for mentions of homophobia & transphobia
Glass Joe
- aromantic asexual (sex neutral, romance positive) + trans, he/him
- Just because hes ace doesnt mean he doesnt make inappropriate jokes on a daily basis, if there was a ranking of who made the most sexual jokes he'd be at the top
- when he came out as trans to his parents they were suprisingly supportive even though they didnt understand much, it just went like: "mom, dad, im a boy and if you dont like that too bad" "we dont care as long as you dont murder anyone" And they were generally chill with him
- when he first binded he used bandages & cloth instead of a actual binder (before he came out) and due to that he almost wasnt able to get top surgery
- has faked a lot of crushes to fit in during his childhood, ended up dating 3-5 people he didnt even like
- thought his gender envy was attraction until he just asked himself "do i wanna be them or be with them" And boom, gender confusion
- fell down the "im not like other girls!" to "im not a girl." pipeline
Von Kaiser
- demiromantic, demisexual + bi with a preference for men, he/they
- when he didnt know the demi labels he just saw himself as a picky dater, when he saw the demi labels he was like "Wait thats me" And pretty much ascended on the spot
- thought everyone just liked both men & women until he said it out loud and got met with pure shock
- his first crush was a famous model he saw in a fashion magazine, also slipping down the "do i wanna be them or be with them" pipeline
- his dad wasnt really supportive but became a bit more open minded once he realized that his hatred distanced himself from his son even more
Disco Kid
- nonbinary,gay, he/she
- okay with both feminine & masculine terms
- somebody tried to call him "princess" to insult him when he was little, instead he took it as a compliment and saw them as a friend, still in contact with said person & theyre besties now, the princess thing has become a nickname for him
- when he first came out his parents were like "the closet was wide open" and were not suprised at all, they saw it coming 1000 miles away as soon as he started it out with the "i have to say something important"
- started doing make up & playing around with dresses thanks to a close friend of his (the childhood friend) , when he first put on a dress he was like "i think i realized something"
King Hippo
- #1 label hater + all pronouns
- if he were to use labels, he would count as gender apathetic and pan oriented aroace
- labels are for losers to him
- not out but his parents know that he doesnt give a shit about labels, they first found out when he didnt care about being called "queen" and liked it, they have no problem with it
Piston Hondo
- pan, cis (?) + he/him but likes to refer to himself with feminine pronouns in japanese
- not out to his parents but dropping hints, theyre struggling to pick up on it and hes going mad over it
- going through some major gender questioning™
- playing around with dresses & femininity and enjoying it
Great Tiger
- polysexual (prefs are enbies, men & genderqueer ppl), genderqueer + all pronouns
- closeted it but trying to make it clear hes not straight,its just flying over his parents head like "oh me oh my our son is sure close with his friends!! Such close bros"
- likes dresses not only for spinning skirts but also how comfy they are
Bear Hugger
- gay, bear (ITS IN THE NAME. COME ON THE CLOSET IS GLASS), trans + he/him but ok with they/them
- when he first came out there was a lot of crying, not in the "i wont accept this wahh" way but more in the "i cant believe you trusted me enough to tell me this" way
- didnt know he was trans until he said "yeah i like being called son, yeah i like being called manly, im a girl though" out loud and he was like "wait a minute"
- has had 2-3 boyfriends during his teen years and is still in touch with them since the break ups were done without any harsh feelings & grudges, hes the only person that can see his exes all chatting together and not die of a heart attack on the spot
Don Flamenco
- gay, trans + he/they
- got called gay way before he knew it since he kept calling his male friends handsome often, always passed it off like "cant a man call his friend handsome?"
- the only feminine terms he will accept is queen and aunt, refer to him as anything other than that and he will punch you to orbit
- cut off contact with his parents since they didnt accept him & kicked him out, the only person who took him in was his aunt, she helped him get t & bind safely before he got top surgery
Aran Ryan
- genderfluid, pomosexual + all pronouns
- label hater but still uses them because why not
- came out in the most casual way possible, was just chilling on the couch with his dad and he just said "i kinda like being called miss sometimes" from boredom just to see dad go "huh??"
- sometimes does drag when he feels fem
Soda Popinski
- gay, cis + he/him
- Rocky dating history, most break-ups of his were really sad since it was either forced by family members or over arguments
- exes with bald bull but they still get along & dont care about their past, they just had better platonic connection and decided together
- out but not, making it clear hes a bit fruity but not too much for it to snowball into "the rumour come out: does soda popinski is gay?"
Bald Bull
- Boyflux, gay + he/they
- flamboyantly gay and cannot hide it no matter how much he tries, the closet is not even present, show him someone he has a crush on and you'll hear the gayest squeal in your life before he evaporates into thin air and holds you at gunpoint
- has the Don Flamenco issue going for him, compliments his male friends and calls them handsome wayyy too often, this time its 99% more obvious
- either really bitter with his exes or close friends, no inbetween, if you tell him "yeah your exes asked about you, theyre there" theres a 50% chance its gonna have his soul physically exit him and another 50% chance hes gonna walk right over to them and say hi
- not out publicly since it would cause a shitstorm, only out to a few people he trusts, has issues trusting people to not say his secrets since a close friend of his outed him during his teen years
Super Macho Man
- bi (slight pref for women), cis + he/she
- didnt really come out, he just showed up to his parents door with his (now ex) bf and was like "heyy say hi to my boyfriend" and everyone just kinda accepted it
- thought the attraction to men was envy for a long time until he learned the fact that wanting to be lifted into the arms of a man and making out with said man is not really straight
Mr Sandman
- gendervoid, demiromantic, acespec, pan + all pronouns
- feels like he should be more masculine but cant bring himself to it,he cant force his behavior to act in a way that doesnt fit him
- out and about, hes not repressing himself for anyone

*shakes a bag of treats to lure out your DR headcanons*
Psspsspsspsspss
Tumblr media
ALRIGHT YOU’VE CONVINCED ME but im putting this under a readmore bc ive got charts and shit
Sexuality
Tumblr media
Aspec
Tumblr media
Gender
Tumblr media
SO I think the charts mostly speak for themselves? I definitely don't have the energy to go into *every* individual person nor do I necessarily have much to say about some of em, so I'll only go into detail about ones I have particularly strong thoughts about/ things to say. But feel free to ask specifics! Can't guarantee I'll be able to answer but still. ANYWAY SO
I wanna start by saying I am the least confident in my aspec headcanons? They're extremely flexible moment to moment and I'm not attached to many of them. I could see almost anyone almost anywhere with only a handful of exceptions, honestly
I almost put a "cis but they've still got something goin on" category on the gender one,,, I woulda put the antags, Yasuhiro, Sonia, Angie, Gonta, maybe a couple others in there,,,
Not really represented here but im a big fan of genderfluid imposter and byakuya
All the protags are trans, and also they're all bi except komaru, fun fact 👍
Literally all of em are queer in some fashion, as you can tell from the fact that I forgot to put a "straight" category on the chart...
Anyway some in particular that im fond of that ive not really talked about before:
I love love love hc Aoi as a nonbinary lesbian. Its like,, lowkey projection,,, but I think its supported by the text. She's got some hang-ups surrounding womanhood and being a woman and how that relates to her relationship with men (im thinking specifically of her last fte). I think it would be a nice resolution to that struggle for her to shed the expectations she feels entirely and embrace who she is, even if its different from what she feels like she's "supposed" to be. Idk I think its a natural conclusion
I enjoy nonbinary chihiro for a similar reason. I think it would also be a natural conclusion to her struggles with gender and what masculinity and femininity means to them
And somewhat related I hc sakura as a cis lesbian also bc of her struggles with femininity?? I like the idea of her conclusion being to embrace her femininity wholeheartedly. She enjoys being feminine but has a hard time reconciling that with her strength. Id like to see her enjoy both of those things about her
Hm i wonder if those say anything about me, im not projecting even a little bit
I hc that akane is pan but for the longest time she just. Doesn't realize not everyone is like that? It was never even something to think about for her. Like she'll be talking to nekomaru and she's like "really you've never thought a girl was hot? Never? Men, I get ya, but *no* girls? That's possible?" And nekomaru gives her the most disappointed stare.
Idk why but nagito and nekomaru being the only gay men on the island is a lil funny to me
Also. I read a singular fic where nagito was demisexual and I was like ok you've convinced me (can you tell. I am. Easily convinced. About this kind of thing)
I go back and forth on whether I hc izuru as pan or aroace. Things like gender don't really matter to him, I just can't decide how that would work in terms of attraction for him 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
I would just like to call attention to transfem hiroko hagakure. Good for her
Rantaro. Feels v aroace to me. In that way where everyone who likes men is like "wow he's so pretty I can't believe he doesn't have a partner id love to date him I wonder if he's interested in anyone" and then he's just like "hey you guys check out this cool thing I found". Like the reverse of bi but noone wants him. Attractive but doesn't want anyone. I can see aspec tho. But that boy is definitely not allo
Once again. Idk why. But kiyotaka, nekomaru, nagito, and kokichi being the only gay men on the chart. Is a lil funny to me. Idk Idk Idk
Ummmm I think thats most of what I wanna say??? I might elaborate more another time but there's that 👍

I make a joke sometimes that my cis boyfriend is lesbian coded because not only is his girlfriend a lesbian but also because in both of his relationships he didn’t realize he was doing the dating thing until he was in the thick of it like “wait…. Are we dating?” and also because he’s been told he fucks like a lesbian.
More than once though, from fellow trans people no less, the response to my good natured tomfoolery has been to make an egg joke back. I cannot express how fucking upsetting this has been. My boyfriend is a man. He’s a cis, queer man. He’s very comfortable as a man. He isn’t even really gender non-conforming in any significant way. And none of the people who responded this way have even fucking met him. But they think it’s fine to suggest he’s a closeted transfemme based on my single joke about being a lesbian coded cis man. A joke that, for my part, relies on absolutely nothing that would actually be an indication of gender expression or gender identity or anything. All three reasons I make the joke are directly about interactions he’s had with lesbians, only one of which also happens to double as a silly little stereotype.
Im certain that only reasons people feel safe making the egg joke back are because, one, they don’t value his queer manhood—he’s a great human being who has done a fuckton of work (and continues to) on unlearning toxic masculinity bullshit and I say he’s lesbian coded? Well, all great lesbian-coded people who aren’t toxically masculine must be women, either obviously or secretly. And because two, they have some fucked up internalized transmisogynistic stereotype beliefs. That you can identify a closeted transfemme based on things like how good the “””man””” in question is to women or how well does he confront and eschew toxic masculinity or how many qualities does he have that I think are good (which I will now conflate wholly with femininity for some monstrous fucking reason) or, apparently, even just whether someone is willing to make a fucking joke with the word lesbian in it about him. But also the transmisogynistic belief that trans women are somehow more pure or more good or more safe than cis men to the point that good fucking cisgender men who are comfortable in their manhood and masculinity are being understood as trans women who haven’t figured it out yet. Do you understand how vile this one is? Because this one is radfem rhetoric.
Stop making fucking egg jokes about cis queer men. I am not asking. Cut it the fuck out. Someone making a joke about how my boyfriend must actually be a woman just because I joked about him being lesbian-coded (again, based on his HUMOROUS REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES) is just as fucking invalidating to his gender as would be telling me that that must actually make me a woman since he’s also dating me. So let me make this clear—my boyfriend and I are faggots together. I’m gay as fuck for him and he’s gay as fuck for me. Do you at least see the transphobia and queerphobia now? Do you see how fucked up it is now?
Cis queer men who are good fucking people, and cis queer men who have undeniably queer relationships with queer women, even (especially?) lesbian women, are not secretly fucking trans women. They’re cis queer men, and life is kinda messy because humans are messy. And sometimes a lesbian falls for the cisgender queer as hell man and still considers herself a lesbian, because let’s be honest, her relationship with this cis man is not a fucking straight relationship. Y’all have got to be more normal about cis queer men.

busts down the door fuck it. off the cuff gender/sexualities headcanons for the rise boys/whoever else i decide. i havent fully considered these/written these out so it might be a hot mess have fun (its also 1 am this is your warning)
see leos a little Special. surprise trans leo is my fav thing ever so what I like to do is ambs (assigned male by splinter, he didnt know the cloacas were in different areas or to start squinting when leos shell got more concave. no i did not know those facts before surprise trans madness/my egg doc i made a whole cloth new however the fuck you say it reproductive system for this fucking turtle so he and his bunny boyfriend could have kids and i could torture him with sliders being oviparous. thank you less-depresso-more-expresso for your leo egg post in december it changed me fundamentally) -> oh . those are eggs. ok *whistling sound as he continues w his life* -> wait gender is a construct. maybe this is a gift -> genderfluidity slaps the kid in the face when theyre abt 17. also hes gay cause it feels right. so does some form of demisexual or romantic but i have a lot of opinions on how his dating life would go and how it would impact his character (rhinocio gets it if u know them. were besties u see) so i think that woudnt hit until more like 18 or smth like that maybe idk
in much more basic terms. genderfluid gay leo ftw we love a trans leo in this house. this goes whether or not you believe in Egg this kid is not cis mark my goddamn words
raph has always screamed she/he to me as she has to most people. im feeling bi. double bi also feels both very right and very funny his siblings would have a ball w that
if mikey doesnt use neopronouns whats the point. gender is a game and mikey is winning. sexuality is also a game and mikey is Still winning. goes w pan but literally would nebulously date anyone as long as they seemed cool and he liked them well enough. they and leo are shaking hands except leo is hoarding like she, he, they, and maybe a couple other neopronouns meanwhile mikey is like im everything all at once fight me abt it. so nonbinary in the everything kind of way. maybe. i have no idea what the name for this is but i know exactly the kind of vibe im talking abt
and ofc donnie is in the absolute opposite direction. he/they, more nonbinary than anything else. rise apritello star lastknownstatus-alive has allured me with aroflux donnie and considering i know like two things abt the aro and ace label existence im absolutely listening. definitely think hes on that spectrum though, it just fits. think hed look at the sexuality thing and go ...none of these are right. and then forgo it entirely. their sexuality is whoever is hot and whoever they fall in love with die abt it
this is where i say that trans man draxum means everything to me and also that man simply isnt straight nor is he allistic (i mean allo as in like hes definitely on the ace/aro spectrum and i didnt realize until rereading a while later but he is also not allistic tbf)
also splinter is bi i rest my case. pretty normal gender on that rat though, even with the gnc everything
april is so . that gender is so everything. hoarding genders like mikey but less so and also less aggressively. less everything all at once and more somethings sometimes and sometimes not other things. shes a solid inbetween of mikey and leo. my brain clocked bi but i honestly dont know why. help i dont know that many names and also i havent been in love in 4 years idk how the sexuality half of this works
also as a disclaimer we as a system (not in our bio bc Fear) identify as genderfluid (not that i know what the flag looks like . look i keep forgetting to look it up ok) but thats because its easier. a lot of us are sort of genderfluid or use multiple pronouns but remembering those gender experiences is HARD . accordingly any discussion of gender and the experience might be totally fucked bc were only so many genders bc there are so many people in this brain. ok im getting off the stepladder w my megaphone where i make separate points now onto casey
my baby my little guy. think the fam wouldve given him the opportunity to explore that stuff as much as he could in the apocalypse. im feeling he/it. thinks gender is a construct. too busy to find a label. would probably like bigender or genderfluid. kind of like mikey, technically works w pan but would date literally whoever whenever wherever as long as there was a preexisting relationship. dont tell him but hes probably demiromantic
and casey sr!!! my girl my lady! i could go either cis or transgirl on her, or even she/they or she/they/he, she does whatever she wants any day of the week. absolutely a lesbian though thats undisputed. also feeling demiro And demiace
this is your last warning that i sussed half of these out based on vibes Right Now. except for leo theyre on my mind 24/7. and mikey mikey felt patently obvious. same for donnie but only gender wise
ok im done now prommy. may or may not fuck around and make a background + oh yeah! thats me!! style fic for these guys if i feel like it. probably wont come out during pride but hey. you dont stop being gay when june ends yk. either way tada ill come back if i decide i was talking bullshit and correct myself later. bc i usually decide i was talking bullshit eventually lmao. probably partially cause im like 18 its a natural side effect of growth occuring at a faster rate due to my younger age. anyways this has been your twice annually actually long and headcanons/fun filled luna post. ill see you in like, october probably, unless i get ballsy, see you then either way lmao

okay its 4am here and i guess what better time to express how chronically online i am through homestuck gender, sexuality and mental stuff headcanons of mine *smile*
okay im gonna start off with the beta kids and trolls of course, probably will not go into the alpha trolls as i do not really know a lot or care a lot about them
one disclaimer, i dont see most of this shit as canon and this doesnt mean i dont believe or even dislike other headcanons, i love seeing all different headcanons and really use and see everyones headcanons of everything, so this isnt saying my headcanons are the ONLY way i see and interpret these characters its just how i see them without an outside influence so dont come after me like omg hes gay and trans.. IDGAF!!! HE IS GAY AND TRANS !!!!!! IDC IF I SAID HES CISHET AND YOU THINK HES GAY AND TRANS.. ME TOO i think everything, these are just my like, personal thoughts about the characters, i genuinely like and use all headcanons though
John: um i am a john/june coexistence believer so i will be going over both. I think john is defo straight okay like idk dont ask i wont be explaining like he just feels cishet to me dont get me wrong I love LOVE johndave but you cant look at john fucking egbert and tell me he is gay im sorry, and june is defo a transbian, thats all shes just a girly who likes girls. as for mental stuff both of them, I see personally having autism DEFINITELY and slight adhd
Dave: oh my god BI DAVE IS REAL. dave is one million percent bi no gender lean,but was ashamed of it for a while because he was scared to be gay cause he grew up thinking gay was something wrong, but eventually came to terms with it. i can see dave as cis or transmasc really they both fit very well to me. dave has to me, obv depression, but i think like a panic disorder because of his brother, some stuff brings him back, and while i feel the bro dave stuff wasnt as severe as the fandom makes it out to be, it still was pretty fucked up, and dave is still just as fucked up over it, a lot of the time its more self worth stuff wondering why his brother was such a dick to him blahblahbalh whatever you get what im saying, i also feel as if like, not a mental disorder thing but he tries to get attention from everyone he can because of the attention his childhood lacked and he is really scared and insecure anyways take all this as you will
Rose: ok rose augh bi rose is real,,, BUT she is SO SO SO female leaning, like shes like i like girls butttttttt there are a few men i will ... look at and want for. I think shes nonbinary demigirl, she/they but doesnt mind whichever set of pronouns you use. i think she has like pretty bad depression and struggles a lot with derealization and things in that area. i can also see her definitely having some form of autism
Jade: okay jade i see as cis and bi with no lean, i have no further explanation, while i see her as having bpd it presents itself way differently than usually associated with the stereotype for someone with bpd. this coming from being alone her whole life and feeling abandoned by everyone around her, because she might feel like shes the only one who puts effort into caring and is still left alone in the end maybe im projecting lalal youll never know !  i see her also having severe severe depression but tries to suppress it to make sure no one worries, she also has really bad add and some slight form of autism.
OK now onto beta trolls (warning a lot of these r gonna be bi headcanons oppsy)
Aradia: okay.... im not sure how to go about this one since i am aradia lol but uhh ill just go ahead and describe how i see myself i suppose? so I am cis girl she/her, bi with a pretty heavy female lean, ok if anyone wants I will go further in depth with this one but i have bpd and hpd which are both very similar but have some distinct differences xD anyways I also have some form of autism and have add, i struggle really really badly with depression along with derealization and depersonalization, this is all, umm as a little added thing I subscribe to catholicism but am kind of shitty at practicing it, but i still do hold some of their beliefs to myself
Tavros: transmasc absolutely cant fight me on this one, um also bi with a male lean, I think he struggles with an anxiety/panic disorder, and has autism + depression.. he also has dependent personality disorder REAL bad.. umm dont have a lot to say on this one LMAO 
Sollux: sigh everyones gonna kill me sollux can be cis to me......... if I want, but I also like trans headcanons of him? so idrk how i see him lel, hes definitely bi with a female lean. um he has bipolar.. canon so thats one, but I can also see him having aspd noo ren dont make him evil having aspd doesnt make you evil these are my headcanons so they will make sense to me differently than they will to you haha and he has depression
Karkat: transmasc karkat real ooouhhh scary ghost noise also bi with male lean, he so obviously has a panic disorder and ptsd, I also think he struggles with depression real, and like lol.. anger issues ok thats all i have to sat for him too ah oopsie a lot of these are gonna be depression but thats a given cause.. really who isnt depressed anymore?
Nepeta: BRAH okay listen nepeta isnt like.. not cis but she isnt not nonbinary!!!?!!?!?! like to describe it shes like nonbinary with she/her prns like shes just this little girl that breaks gender norms all day if u feel me? shes bi with a slight female lean but no real preference i think she defo has autism and adhd, but also struggles really bad with depression from how lonely she is
Kanaya: lesbian 100000000000% does not like men LOL um honestly she/her cis, she has depression and bpd shh shh everyone who is mad for my bpd diagnoses close your eyes, ok this is all
Terezi: cis girl and bi with a male lean, i think she has depression really bad and dependent personality disorder but it only starts showing outwardly later within the comic after all the stuff .... with her goes down
Vriska: transfemme bi with no lean, ok ahh this is not really a lot to unpack but it is? idk vriska though her personality seems like the posterboy for fucking bpd and people might say that gives people with bpd a bad reputation to be associated with her, as someone with medically diagnosed bpd i just dont agree, if the shoe fits... its probably for a reason, anyways vriska has the absolute most convincing and fitting title of bpd of any character within homestuck, but she also fits within depression in my opinion, but thats really a result of her bpd and stuff with her lusus driving people away anyways i can also see her having npd
Equius: brah gonna be honest equius straight but bicurious and transmasc, wants to be strong because of his rage stuff but also because hes insecure about not being cis and wants to be as “manly” as possible, nepeta always tries to convince him he doesnt have to be strong to be a man but hes so insecure it doesnt matter what she says. I think he personally struggles HORRIBLY with gender dysphoria and what trans person doesnt? but him especially, it makes him badly depressed and he wont admit it, I also think he is autistic
Gamzee: brah another cis male bi sigh he has a female lean but only a little. I think he struggles with drug induced psychosis, he started abusing substances when he was younger because he was depressed but it ended up frying his brain and making his body and mind dependent on the drugs and giving him awful psychosis issues
Eridan: cis male bi with no lean whatsoever he just wants someone to fucking love him, i think he struggles with bpd, hpd and npd along with depression ok thats all
Feferi: cis female bi large male lean, but still also likes girls a lot?? idk just kinda loves everything and everyone, has adhd really bad and autism, not depressed but sometimes has derealization episodes and doesnt know how to tell anyone and keeps them to herself
Jane: cishet, bicurious but is too ashamed to admit it because of how she was raised, i think she struggles with anger issues and some slight depression, but thats about it
Dirk: cis gay gay gay gay gay as fuck oh my god anyways i know i said cis but i can also see trans dirk real so idk, i think he has gasp! bpd, he also very much has awwwful depression
Roxy: cis bi female, male lean, deals with really really bad depression but keeps it to herself ah obviously has substance abuse issues that are to deal with the depression
Jake: cis bi male lean, on the aromantic spectrum sigh idk lel this is just what i think, he also has mega autism and also very depressed
ok these r all please dont hate me after this 💀

merry christmas!
sorry i’ve not been on much. miss you all dearly. just need to rant right now. sometimes tumblr acts as a journal of sorts, you know?
being in the closet is hard.
my grandpas visited this past week, and my dad’s dad laughed and said that he’s referring to his grandkids by numbers now (ex gc 1, gc 2) because they keep changing their names and he’s “not going to call Andrew, Athena, [he] just won’t!” (I’m referring to my amab cousin, Andrew, with that name but they/them pronouns because I’m not clear on what they go by right now, and I wasn’t even aware that they were reassessing their gender identity. the outing of Andrew when they themselves have not told us is also frustrating, just not what is particularly aggravating to me at the moment)
anyway, i mentioned it today to my family because it’s been on my mind a lot. casually, i said that my grandpa was a little mean over the weekend, and that it’s hard to comprehend how a gay person could be transphobic. and both my parents sort of launched into defending him, about how he wasn’t being transphobic just that he was laughing about all the changes and how andrew has apparently changed their name a few times and gone back and forth. i mentioned that he was apparently mean and unsupportive when my other cousin, ethan, started transitioning (ethan was afab and started socially transitioning at 13 and has recently started medically transitioning at 15). so then my parents began talking all this shit about how he had a reasonable concern given ethan’s age etc etc. (i didn’t mention the fact that my grandpa’s skepticism and rudeness about ethan were pretty ridiculous as he has played a very small role in ethan’s life despite the fact that he’s his grandpa, and hurtful bc the person who is raising him is his ex-wife (my dad’s mom) and a lot of his “concern” just seemed to be a question of my grandma’s judgement and ability to raise ethan. which is AGAIN even more ridiculous given how hard raising ethan has been! he has a plethora of learning disabilities and has been dealing with severe mental health issues (self-harm, suicide attempts) for the last few years, none of which my grandpa can even come close to understanding bc, again, he has played such a small role - I see Ethan MAYBE 3 times a year and that’s STILL more than our grandpa))
anyway, this was all hurtful enough, to have all of these pieces overlooked, but especially when my dad’s final defense of my grandpa was this: “he’s a part of this community and has an insight and perspective that none of us can understand.” listen, i value the fact that my dad sees queer knowledge and experience as something valuable, but that doesn’t mean it can never be questioned and challenged; not every queer person is actually a part of the community. transphobic queer people exist! case in point. anyway, the worst part was just the assumption that all of us at the table are straight. i hurt more than i thought. i want to be myself! shouldn’t it be easy to come out to my family when my grandpa is gay? when i have (potentially) two trans cousins? but the micro aggressions are like slashes in my confidence, and the unsteady attempts at being accepting of queer identities (but not going so far as feeling like we need to be more actively and openly supportive, and certainly being confused and kind of disgusted by those that reject the gender binary) make me feel out of place.
i’m bi. i think it’s a lot easier than coming out as gay, or trans, or gender-fluid/queer etc. to straight, cis people, i’m still “half-straight” and i’m still conforming to gender norms. so i feel dumb for being so scared to come out. my family is more supportive than many out there. im lucky in that regard. but i feel like im already fighting to educate them on so many things (the current issue: cultural appropriation vs cultural appreciation) that i can’t handle trying to teach them how to handle having a queer kid too. i can’t be the guinea pig (more than i already am #oldestchild). so i stay in the closet at home and beg for the semester to start sooner so i can go back to my safe, queer friends at school where i am out.

some koltc headcanons because why not
i haven’t actually reread the series in a while, so hopefully these aren’t too weird
need to get on that so i can make them all queer
anyways
linh-aroace
shes my favorite. thats it.
okay actually there was a line or two at some point but i cant remember
sophie-honestly just a whole mess.  prob either unlabeled or has 7 million labels. not cis or het, prob not allo either but not sure on that one.
can’t decide if she comes to terms w/ her identity before coming to the lost cities, or of there’s some huge drama and she has an angsty questioning phase because honestly elves are prob at least a little homophobic
honestly im still on the sophie will be single forever train.  she is so bad at handling emotions n stuff, but like, maybe she could end up w/ biana or something? not keefe or fitz tho
keefe-either pan or gay, but ace. ace keefe is my life.
his reaction to the alicorns when sophie was telling the group abt silvenys messages about greyfell, yes
also i can’t remember if this was from a fic or actually canon, but wasn’t there a time in the human world w/ a like naked statue or something?
anyways the other part is absolutely because i am keefex(whats their ship name? is it that? anyways keefe x dex) trash so yeah, mostly because of these fics i read(a short funny one and a long lovely angsty and fluffy one) by RStar6709 on ao3
so dex-demi for sure, honestly probably gay. maybe bi?
i like the idea of him having a squish on sophie
and after that whole awkward kiss they actually kiss each other platonically a lot, maybe on the forehead?
again, keefex trash
idk, just demi vibes. also we love aspec rep here, so all of them are aspec now. or at least most of them.
:00 but what if,,, queerplatonic sodex!!!!
heh not rlly sure about that ship name either(sophie and dex if it wasnt clear) someone please tell me all of them aaaaa
thats most of the ones i actually have big headcanons for but have a couple smaller ones
fitz-token straight?? nah actually hes aro. some sort of genderqueer fitz would be cool too, ngl
biana-not that many opinions on her honestly, but lesbian or bi. ooh, demigirl? or maybe genderfae?
tam-gay. prob closeted tho.  also maybe nonbinary?  uses they/them pronouns.  would absolutely sneak tiny pride flags into linhs locker. honestly would secretly work with keefe to do it and has a huge dramatic fake over the top rivalry w/ keefe outside of it and it cracks them both up how much everyone else believes it. prob out to keefe and eventually dex tho. they know how insecure they are abt it and others finding out tho, so they look out for them and pretend to try to set them up w/ people and avoid using pronouns for them w/ others whenever possible and are generally very supportive.  also have all the puns ready for them when they need it. all the puns.
wow i wrote way more there then i planned to.  he isn’t even like anywhere near the top of my characters list either. i just though of something and went along w/ it i guess.
anyways, um, stina-also gay. trans girl. get her together with one of the girls, maybe biana. ooh, what about stina x biana x sophie? polyamorous too i guess! once she actually becomes friends w/ the group, is the “i’m the only one who can insult them” friend and will fight anyone who hates on any member of the group

Also id like 2 hear more abt ur ocs if u want 2 tell me abt them ^_^
ooh yeah so idk exactly who to focus on but my stories r always super boring and focus on like real life scenarios and being depressed n shit. So like my characters r generally just like super depressed peices of shit who do very little but mope around and that may seem harsh but literally that kinda the point of my work is to highlight mental illness when its not comical, scary or temporary. Their story which im not sure what im calling it yet (i was thinking maybe “estrogen boyhood” and that could be a band name in the comic as well? but the working title for a while has been ‘shoegaze’ bc thats what i was listening to when i came up with them) Essentially its a comic abt relationships and amatonormativity and its harmful aspects. It revolves around various romantic and platonic relationships between characters and im basically trying to explore relationship dynamics that aren’t normally seen- as well as tying it into anarchism and being able to break down amatonormativity as yet another societal pressure. The main group is a bunch of anarchist punks from a small city attempting to dismantle harmful systems while managing their own failing health( phsycical and mental) and balancing their realtionships with eachother. Noam is the main-ish character- he’s a gay cis man struggling with his religon and his status as a recently diagnosed chronically ill person. He has an undiagnosed personality disorder and has been abusive to people in the far past, when he was a child, due to psychosis, and while they have forgiven him- the thought of it continuisly makes him very paranoid about it happening again- and he’s very protective of the people around him due to it. (. we don’t talk abt mentally ill people with scary or dangerous symptoms and we need to. he’s not a bad person- but i am going to acknowledge this part of him.)
Kidd is the other kinda- main character. He’s a gay trans man who has serious self image issues after being in a unhealthy relationship and lives in his van- which while we first see as something he’s content with- we realize how it’s suffocating him. He’s stealth- and this is a major part of the plot. It’s not healthy for him, he knows it’s not healthy, but he cant do anything abt it (not that being stealth is always unhealthy- but this is and its very obvious.) He’s known to just straight up leave when he’s uncomfortable, ghosting everyone he knows and driving as far as he can away.
Mavis has issues with relationships. He likes them- but he doesn’t feel much for the people involved and he internalizes this as a them problem- not aromanticsm, but some evil inside them thats causing him to act this way. While i won’t elaborate, Mavis (as well as some of the rest of the main cast) has a lot of self harm issues and their refusal to stop is harmful to both him and those around them. It’s not a good situation. Mavis has such little regard for themselves that it frays their relationships with other people- and he doesn’t seem to care.
Kel has been losing her sight since highschool- and has been deathly afraid of anyone even touching her without telling her ever since. While Kel does desire relationships- her fear of commitment and of intimacy leaves her bringing a lot of baggage into every relationship. She’s a highly anxious person and talking to her can be a bit onesided. It’s not her fault she’s nervous, but she does little to manage it.
Strawberri is seen as calm and collected to those around her. She’s deeply kind, using her spare room in her appartment to lend to anyone she finds who needs a place to stay- but her obsession with helping others is in subsitute for helping herself. She has a long list of people who hate her and what she stands for- and she would much rather hold every feeling inside than ever publically be upset by it. She has to be strong- since being angry isn’t seen well by those who percieve her these ways.
Anyway. none of them are defined with what’s happening with them. They’re not villians, theyre not antiheros, theyre people. And they have mental illness and genuinly thats what i want to write abt. Sometimes things aren’t pretty, sometimes ppl dont want to heal.

LOST character headcanons
here's a comprehensive list of my pronoun, gender, sexuality, and relationship headcanons for just about all the characters! this post will not have any spoilers.
when i say "with:" and list a BUNCH of people it doesn't necessarily mean that i think they're dating all of those people. by "with" it could mean anywhere from "dating and in love with" to "they banged once" lol. ill elaborate on which is which, tho. keep in mind i think that everyone on the island was definitely VERY sexually active and didn't give a fuck about keeping it a secret. i mean, they were all surviving on a deadly island together— why bother keeping secrets?

It literally angers me so much that not one person thought "isn't it a little off that a black teacher would threaten a latino student with the police?" like yes there are black people that would do that but is also has a lot of implications that pixelberry just,, decided to pretend weren't there ? Or even worse ? Pretend it was definitely the most "moral" choice like wtf
Apart, you didn't use any pronouns for me (which was really nice of you <3) but I thought it was easier to tell you, also ahahahshjs my friend has almost the same trouble as you like she is agender but uses any or all pronouns, except she's black and amab and they're very typically(?) handsome so when she used to say "any pronouns" people always went he/him and just being treated as a man, so to cisociety: she/they only to trans people any pronouns (which was funny because they I thought I was cis so I stopped using he/him as a good ally except they told me "that doesn't apply to you though??" me: "but I'm cis??" friend: "I will let you figure this out")
Also part 2 I LOVE PLAYING AS A MALE MC WHEN THE STORY IS AGGRESSIVELY HETEROSEXUAL FEMALE MC
I love it!!! Like I played open heart (don't judge) and the story is sooooo made to be a female mc akskjsjd
literally like u can tell there isnt a single writer of color in that team, there are so many pretty obvious racial implications that just. completely went over their heads. like oh my god. the way that both mr cooper AND principal flores are black/brown and BOTH threatened him with police over absolutely NOTHING like. kill <3
(dont get me started on flores lmao that bitch is the antithesis of a real school director i wanna die)
also im ur friend in that scenario rip udbdjd i can smell baby queers from a mile away and half of the time i assume ppl know theyre queer so i casually mention them being trans/bi/ace/etc and theyre like "what do you mean? im a cistraight heterosexual cisgender cis straight hetero" and im like ah. u think that huh
(shoutout to my friends reading this that were immediately assigned trans by me on sight and had a gender crisis and now are out <3 ily)
also, unfortunately, i have.... also played open heart.... twice. in my defense tho, u cant have a character be like "i am driven by community, all that matters to me is that, also im a huge self sacrificial idiot with no braincells, also i suck at flirting" AND be brazilian and expect me to NOT fall in love with him. books 2 and 3 are a scam and never happened as far as im concerned because the butchering of rafa's character is real but i love him and i would do anything for him
and honestly my flaming take is that open heart 1 is a decent book? itll never be good because any book that pushes mr sexual harrassment down ur throats cant possibly be good and ethan is THE shittiest LI of all time but it has a good plot and i like the obvious anticapitalist undertones and the discussion of how profit-driven mentality ruins healthcare. i also like how ur previous choices come back in the finale and u get to see ur patients again, its pretty nice. and every character feels like they have more or less of an arc that is left somewhat resolved (except for aurora who only gets to shine in the later books, which is a shame because i adored her from day one), so i think it's honestly a well written book. i also played with a male MC (dr bus down with cis my beloved. yes i named him that. ask me about my MCs names <3) and i liked it. i didnt feel like it was super hetero cuz honestly rafa and MC had pretty gay vibes, like the shitty flirting was so gay <3 and rafa in general, like.. community? self sacrifice? gay. sorry sir i diagnose u with homo. and also trans. because i can <3 (and also like. rafa has TITS like im sorry theres no getting around it, those are TIDDIES ma'am, not to mention that WAIST like lol. sorry pixelberry ur completely unrealistic male body means hes trans now <3)
so yeah i have. an embarrassing love for open heart. but anyone who follows me already knows i have bad taste, so

Me, all in good fun: *does something purposely overly dramatically feminine*
My mom, fully joking: Prissy
Me, fully joking: Homophobic
My dad, butting in: "but you're already trans, you can't be gay"
Me: >:^0
My mom: :^0
Me: Mom, do you want to tell dad why what he just said was wrong?
My mom, extremely smart: I won't explain it as well as you
Bc of this i told my parents I was extremely disappointed bc all throughout my transition, I've been asking them to educate themselves on queer issues and this is one of the most basic things and he still had no clue.
So I encouraged them to look up the Genderbread Person? Cause I figure its an easy to follow diagram, u kno? Oh here ill add it.
Tumblr media
The next week I came by i asked them if they did and my mom talked about it a little bit and how there was a lot of helpful information and my dad stayed out of the conversation, until I mentioned we should be talking about it as a family. Which is when he admitted he hadn't even remotely bothered.
Which, obviously made both my mom and i upset, and so I printed the fuckin thing out. And made them look at it, and I said there were no stupid questions, and mom, bless her heart, jumped right into it and started asking.. basically about being butch and I love her so much, she has no clue, my mom is definitely queer, poor thing.
And my dad was like, how do we know this information is correct? You got it from the internet, how to we know somebody didn't change it?
(Which i would normally be proud of him asking, but he only asks that of stuff he doesn't agree with instead of everything 🙄)
So I explained who the people on the website are and also that, as a queer person, me saying the information is correct, Is Your Source.
AND THEN he was like, well youre gonna get mad at me bc I dont think there's more than two genders and that girls like mom can be tomboys and still be girls and guys can be girly and still be boys, and I was like. Yeah? That's true? And there's people who are neither or both who can be neither or both, and then my dad made the excuse of Well Your Mom and I Weren't Raised This Way And Also We're Christians
And BOTH my mom and I were like. Literally same? What does that have to do with anything??
AHHHH I COULD GO ON BUT I WONT we didn't really /argue/ as much as Please Acknowledge People Who Aren't Cis And Straight Exist
Idk. I straight up told him he needs to be making more of an effort bc its been years and nobodys seeing it from him.
My moms been buying and reading BOOKS. Like, talk about effort. Idk man im disappointed in him.. again lmao

meta post: lili and her gender
let me go on the record to say that i fucking love lilian eyler with my whole heart, like, i typed all this out and im so fucking emotional about her! in the past, i've written things about hello charlotte and how the lgbt representation is... lacking, let's call it, and i've also made a few headcanon posts here and there about lilian's transition and her relationship with gender. so i thought, you know, let's actually write a whole ass thing about it. so here it is.
content warnings: gender dysphoria, suicide attempts, homophobia/transphobia in the original source material
PART 1: ETHERANE'S BAD TAKES so... etherane did not handle lgbt stuff well, like, in the slightest. lili is canonically genderfluid, as seen in one of those little profile things that etherane drew that doesn't actually show up in any of the games. but her genderfluid identity isn't handled well at all in the actual source material. actually, in general, hello charlotte is pretty transphobic. to cite one example, there’s this journal entry in hello charlotte 3 talking about “defective” charlotte vessels, and one of the things that can make a charlotte vessel “defective” is for them to be born amab or intersex. this already has some really bad vibes, but then we remember also that one of the big functions of charlottes is apparently for them to be sexualized (yikes!!!!!) and so we also get this weird kind of like, “trans people aren’t hot” kind of take?
but anyway. when it comes to lilian specifically, she never actually states in canon that she’s genderfluid or otherwise trans, not even in the spinoff visual novel, which, by the way, would have been the perfect place to address her gender identity, and she consistently uses he/him pronouns. we don’t actually get to see any of her thought processes about her gender at all — like at this point, i can’t even say it’s a non-issue because that would imply that they even mentioned her gender in canon. the only time we can potentially extrapolate from canon that lili might not be cis is when anri mentions that charlotte is lili’s self-insert oc. that’s kind of heavy-handed with the whole “charlotte being the female name for charles”, but that’s another matter. the point is, with the lack of any canon basis that lilian’s even vaguely questioned her gender, the reveal that she’s actually genderfluid with like, two pieces of artwork that are detached from the actual game feels very pxrfxrmxtxvxly xnclxsxvx (performatively inclusive) especially considering how.... etherane talked about lilian’s gender in particular within the actual canon material.
after all, the story behind lilian is effectively that, after she was born, her mother was forced to abort her second child, a daughter that she would name scarlett. doing so plunged her into a really deep depression that eventually took on delusional qualities. so ever since lilian was about three years old, her mother has been referring to her exclusively as scarlett, asking her to ‘ be a good girl ’ and similarly raising her as a girl. we can see here that etherane seems to have implied that genderfluidity is something that happens because other people make it so, and isn’t an identity and lived experience. (bad take!) although, albeit unintentionally, i think etherane did lay some groundwork to talk about lilian’s relationship with her gender, specifically with regards to her projection onto her oc, charlotte. in high school, when she’s more active on the internet, we see that she’s going by charlotte and using she/her pronouns. anri, her irl friend, is pretty openly critical of that, but she sort of brushes off anri’s complaints and continues to present as feminine online. now, there’s this fanfic writer who goes by the pseudonym “c”, and lilian very quickly takes an interest in him. the way she talks to c, who doesn’t know her irl, compared anri, who does, is just like flat-out like they’re completely different people.
compare, her with c:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
to her with anri:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i also wanted to mention that lili does occasionally act more “femininely” with anri, but it’s never to the extent that she does with c, and in general, affectionate banter is sort of... outright ridiculed in their friendship both ways. see this one exchange:
anri: >:) always up for some roasting lili: right? <3 <3 anri: now you’re the one being gross
unrelated but it fucking kills me that anri was like “ily <3” and lili went “gross” so she went “kys” and lili deadass goes “that’s better” like that’s what anri is referencing when she says “now you’re the one being gross” and im like... please just be healthy friends who don’t wish death on each other???
it’s also worth noting that c doesn’t know that she’s not “actually” a girl, and literally when they meet, she goes like, “it’s you who should be disappointed in me. charlotte turned out to be charles, whoops! i bet you were hoping that i’d be a cute girl.” and that’s... really depressing, like, she ended up really leaning into that cutesy side of her when she was talking to c and now she feels the need to be a lot more... sarcastic and bitter, like how she is with anri, because now c “knows the truth about her”, that she’s “actually been a guy all along”.
in any case, i think the intent that etherane was going for with this was kind of like... “lilian’s actually a repressed cis gay man!” which is . not great. it gives off this really gross vibes where it’s implied that since lili was raised as a girl and is into men, she got “confused” and started going by she/her online because she couldn’t come to terms with her sexuality or whatever. and that’s just such a bad take!!!
not to mention that a really important part of lili’s backstory is... her germaphobia. she has persistent delusions accompanied by visual hallucinations where she sees people as “parasites”, which visually manifests as them rotting or decomposing. because of that, she wears gloves all the time and is repulsed by physical touch. but when she meets c (whose real name is vincent) in person, she pretty much instantly goes for skin-to-skin contact with him, where she takes off her glove and holds his hand. and like, sure, that’s sweet, but that’s really not how mental illness... works. in the slightest. she doesn’t react at all when his hand touches hers, despite the fact that she has literally had panic attacks in canon from touching things without her gloves. and it gives off this implication that mental illness can be cured with romance somehow, and that’s a really bad take!
this feeds into fandom understanding that like, well, if lilian sees vincent as pure and allows him to touch her, then Obviously she’d let him kiss her, they could probably have sex, etc. and like... she’s canonically asexual though! and that brings us to the other implication, that asexuality is somehow... caused by something. like, there’s nothing in canon to state that lilian experiences sexual attraction (or even really romantic attraction, like i know etherane went off in heaven’s gate and did a lot of ship tease, but she never really outright says she’s crushing on anyone), but judging from the way etherane handled lilian’s gender identity, i have a sneaking suspicion that she established lilian’s asexuality with her mental illnesses specifically in mind. lilian’s autistic, germaphobic, has severe ocd, and she’s been sexually assaulted in the past. therefore, she must be asexual! that’s the sort of vibes i get from the game, and im not here for it. similarly to how her genderfluidity was handled, she makes no actual statement in canon that she doesn’t experience sexual attraction. the closest she’s ever come to this is when she says to anri in heaven’s gate that she is just straight up not interested in kissing (to which anri is like, “well what if it were vincent owo??” which. ugh. anyway). it just seems really strange to me to design a character with severe mental health issues with regards to physical touch and then just sort of treat it as a given that she’s asexual. it’s another example of etherane implying that lgbt identities are results of traumatic experiences or symptoms of mental illness and not an identity or lived experience. you can be sex-repulsed and not be asexual, and while i understand that many people do identify as ace due to trauma and other such things, it still feels like really bad rep when taken with the way lilian’s genderfluidity was portrayed.
PART 2: HOW “CHARLES” IS DIFFERENT FROM “LILIAN”
throughout hello charlotte, lilian identifies herself as a passive observer, someone who doesn’t directly interfere in events. this applies mostly to her existence in false realm, where she’s like... a god, and doesn’t want to interfere in the balance of the world. but i believe she also has always seen herself as an observer. in her very first scene, the one where she and anri are watching someone get bullied, she’s the one who tells anri that there’s no point in getting help. because her role is just to observe. to take pictures for anri, to be a good girl, to say yes to everything and to never express her opinions, feelings, thoughts.
and honestly, i think the main reason for that is that she’s dysphoric. whenever she talks about herself, she’s really self-deprecating, especially compared to when she talks about charlotte. i feel like the main reason why lilian detaches herself from the world and refuses to really perceive herself is because she’s fundamentally disgusted with her gender presentation. and like, we can see in the two times that she’s presented femininely (with c and in that one comic) that lili is just so much happier and more bubbly when she’s presenting as feminine. you can literally see her stop dissociating and becoming more present in the moment because she’s just. so much more comfortable in her skin. compare:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
these pictures with this one:
Tumblr media
it’s funny i was going to say that there is a picture where she’s presenting as masculine and actually smiles like a person, but guess what! she’s texting c! so she’s actually performing femininity!
Tumblr media
but the point is, like... when she’s presenting as masculine, especially in the canon pictures rather than etherane’s art, she just doesn’t look... happy. and then we compare that to how much more present she seems when she’s presenting as feminine, and how much more comfortable she seems in being, like, happy! and cute! but there is a downside to this. and that is...
PART 3: DIFFICULTIES IN LILI’S TRANSITION
in my sort of... “main verse” for lili, i have it so that her suicide attempt failed and that she was somehow... saved from drowning. mother passes away and she starts to... soul search a little bit and find a reason to live, and somewhere along the line she starts to transition socially. that means she starts transitioning at a pretty... extremely vulnerable point in her life. in the year between 18-19 years old, she’d be a wreck. she’s growing her hair out, but she feels insecure about it. she starts to wear skirts, but only at home. she buys makeup and never wears it. it’s a long process for her, because it’s one thing to go by she/her online or to claim she’s just a gender-confused gay boy and a completely different thing to come out as a trans woman and to actually see herself as a woman and not some kind of imposter. considering that she was raised as a girl, she would have a large amount of guilt over transitioning, feeling like she’s going to be seen as confused, or that her gender identity is a direct result of her childhood trauma. but she’s not just worried that others will see her that way: she’s worried that she’s going to see herself that way.
and for a long time, she probably does see herself that way. for a long time, scarlett would probably treat her transition as some kind of attempt to personify her unborn sister and comply with perceived expectations rather than an attempt to feel comfortable in her own skin. she’d get nervous that she’s somehow becoming scarlett, because though she’s always thought it would be easier if she’d just been her sister, she’s never really wanted to be scarlett. she’d be scared to wear mid-length skirts, scared to put her hair up in a bun, probably even scared to wear red for a time, all because she’s scared of somehow losing herself and becoming her alter.
because of her caution and concern with identifying as a trans woman and not as the “safer“ gender identity of genderfluidity (where she can say she’s trans but never actually have to “push boundaries” by wearing feminine clothing or using any pronouns besides he/him), it would likely take her a very long time to take the step to medically transition. she’d likely never get any gender affirmation surgeries just because of how invasive the procedure is, but hormones would probably be something she’d look into once she’s much older and has a more stable income.
i mentioned before that before her transition, she uses dissociation and observation as a way to cope with her gender dysphoria. she saw herself as someone who didn’t really participate in the world, was a class ghost, invisible to everyone and a minuscule part of a vast universe. but upon transitioning, she’d feel much more actively self-conscious. once she starts to present in a feminine way, she’d feel like she’s being seen, like she’s actually participating in the world, and that’s both a blessing and a curse.
she’d be much more prone to stammering, especially when saying her name, and would blush far more often. she’d be afraid of saying the wrong thing or messing up somehow. and on top of that, she’d likely feel predatory for talking to others, always wondering if others find her cute or repulsive, always wondering if someone will perceive her and harm her in some way.
she’d very likely also feel really guilty about her own emotional experience. because she’s so used to being a passive observer, a puppet that only does what others want, she would feel like it’s selfish to be just... content. she’s so actively disgusted with herself before she transitions that she’s never allowed herself to be mentally present for a happy moment in her entire life. she always second-guesses, always dismisses positive things as a mere coincidence, and after she transitions, when she starts being more present in her life, she’d feel so guilty for just allowing herself to be happy.
because of that, she has some trouble with presenting as feminine consistently — she’d vary the “level” of her feminine presentation from day-to-day, where she might go full femme one day and another day stick with a beanie and a pair of slacks. she’s much more comfortable with presenting as more traditionally feminine when she’s at home or with trusted friends in a private space, but around 19 years old, she makes a vested effort to remain in public spaces. she’d time herself, saying, “for one hour, i’ll stay in this café while wearing a skirt, and then i can leave,” and she’d gradually increase the amount of time she spends in public spaces. and eventually, eventually she does end up feeling really comfortable with her gender presentation and falls into a more static sense of style. she really likes clothing design, so she ends up wearing a lot more dynamic outfits when she’s more comfortable with herself, and she probably also mildly gets into cosplay.
i also like to think that she reconnects with anri during her young adult years. either it’s like, right after her suicide attempt (i’ve written before that she’d had anri listed as her emergency contact and forgot to change it when she moved), or it’s at some point after she starts transitioning socially. i think it’d be really sweet for them to be friends in a more real way, and the sheer concept of anri teaching lili how to properly apply makeup and to set her hair is just so fucking sweet i might die. they both deserve to have friends so i think this is just a step up from hello charlotte canon.

RAWR!!! FEED ME HEADCANONS!!!
these are my Favorite kinds of asks, but i’m gonna keep it to one trans headcanon that i have, because ya’ll have been sleeping on trans draco malfoy, i swear
he’s the kind of trans kid that knows he’s a boy, like, immediately, because he’s malfoy, of course he does. he’s an absolute poot, as per usual, but this time it’s justified -- when he makes fits about people calling him missy, or heiress, his parents think it’s nothing much, just a bit unladylike. but, draco made sure to tell them, um, excuse me, yes, it’s very unladylike, because i’m not a damned lady!
he tells lucius and narcissa that he is indeed a boy and despite what many people may believe, i think they’d be ecstatic. a male heir??? yes! this is exactly what they’d wanted! so they dress up draco in new clothes (”the dresses are fine, those are new, why are you sending them off?” “boys don’t wear dresses, draco” “[cue the signature malfoy pout] but they’re more comfortable than trousers”) and introduce everyone to their son, draco lucius malfoy. draco picked the name, something cool and strong and lovely like mother (she giggled), and lucius, of course, switched the middle name of narcissa for his own. draco pitched a fit about that, too, the mama’s boy, but pureblood boys have certain expectations to live by. they weren’t much different than that of pureblood girls, though, he figured, so he would do just fine.
a lot of this headcanon of mine is taken just from the first scene in the books where he meets ron and harry (second time meeting harry? because it’s after the robe fittings) and ron laughs at his name and draco makes a face and sneers at him, taking much more offense than a usual eleven-year-old boy in a wizarding world where everyone has weird-ass names would.... like, that’s trans culture. i just decided that, it’s trans culture, and so is draco malfoy being an interesting and layered character. 
if im honest, the real reason i like trans draco is because he was my favorite character growing up and he was.... my first trans headcanon? before i even knew what trans was or that i was transgender, i had little thoughts of draco malfoy and astoria greengrass both being secretly “the opposite gender” but living as a man and a woman respectively because they were in their souls. honestly, i dont know how tf it took me so long to figure out i was trans, but at least i’ve always known one thing -- there is no way draco malfoy is straight or cis. love that gay trans dude. hell yeah. 
he and astoria both are gay and trans and as much as they care for each other, their marriage is little else but a tradition that must be observed, as purebloods, and because they both wants a child, so they happily divorce after they have scorpius and remain quite friendly, doing the best they can for their baby boy.
i think that the hp fandom has mostly died but askjfskld i was raised on the stuff, so i can go on and on about this all day..... sorry this ended up being so long, my gods!! thank you for sending an ask, haha! - mj

anyone know what to do when you like a guy and you dont know if hes gay/bi and youre a trans dude but he thinks youre a cis guy even though you dont really pass... i think he might like me back but he might be straight and not realize that hes acting kinda gay.. idk how to tell him im trans without it being weird 🤢😭rip
I’ll preface this with a disclaimer that I’m not a trans guy so I can’t say any of this from experience, and my partner already knew each other’s trans status before we got together and knew each other before we came out. Other blogs who might be able to give you more insight include @trans-guy-positive @gaytransmen and @transguysuggestions off the top of my head (this obviously isn’t an exhaustive list- there are dozens of incredible blogs on this website centred around trans guys), but if any of my followers have any helpful advice or know of any resources, both on the sexuality and gender identity issues, feel free to send in an ask or reply to this post!
I’ll put this under a cut because it’s quite long.
I’m sorry you’re in this situation! Dating as a trans person can be difficult, but you aren’t obligated to disclose your trans status to anybody. Obviously it’s something that will have to come up sooner or later in a committed relationship- in my view, it’s important to be honest and open with committed romantic partners, and having the support of a partner can be very helpful, as well as it being relevant if you plan to have a sexual relationship etc. BUT that being said, you aren’t obligated to give someone a disclaimer that you’re trans before entering a relationship- if they’re the right person for you, then it won’t be a deal-breaker. That being said, I can completely understand the desire to disclose that before you get with someone, so that telling them doesn’t cause avoidable issues in the future. 
It’s ultimately up to you and what you find comfortable. A good way to test the waters is to bring up trans people in conversation- Chelsea Manning for instance has been in the news a lot recently, or show him pictures of any trans actors/celebrities/youtubers etc. you know of to see if he finds them attractive regardless of being trans (best to do this in a lighthearted way, maybe as a “wow xyz guy is hot, you wouldn’t know he was transgender” or something like that, presuming he knows that you aren’t straight.) Also, if you have any mutual friends who you feel you can trust, you could ask them if they know anything about his views on trans people, and pass it off as you having a trans friend and wanting to make sure it wouldn’t be weird if you invited them to something, etc. These kinds of testing-the-waters sort of conversations can give you a better idea of how he might react to you coming out to him, and better inform your decision on whether you want to do so. 
If you do decide to tell him, it’s best to do this alone, but in a public place, such as a park or a bus stop, somewhere that either of you can get away from if need be, and being in public but somewhere a little private is a good precaution just in case it does go badly- people are less likely to freak out if others will see them doing so. Again, I would say refer to other trans resources for more help on coming out- there are a lot of great trans male youtubers with videos about coming out, such as jammidodger and Sam Collins- I’m sure there are plenty of others too, but this is just off the top of my head. It’s good to be direct, and be prepared with resources or information if he’s not totally up on what it means to be trans. But also try not to make too huge a deal out of it- if you bring it up as a kind of “By the way, I wasn’t sure if you were aware, but I’m actually transgender, and I wanted you to know. Being trans means xyz, I’ve been living as male since xyz time, but it doesn’t change the person I am, it just means the doctor said the wrong thing when I popped out and I’m working on fixing that” etc., it won’t seem like a massive thing that your friend needs to make a big deal out of, or at least in theory that should be the case. 
As for the sexuality thing, I’d once again advise a low-key approach to this. This once again isn’t my area of expertise because I have a super queer friend group, but a simple litmus test is once again, talking about xyz male celebrity or influential figure and asking him if he thinks they’re hot, and if he says yes, dropping a casual “so you into guys then?” If you live in an area where it’s not super accepted to be gay, it’s a good idea to once again do this in a private space, and perhaps offer up the information that you aren’t straight, which might make him more likely to trust you with info about his sexuality. But obviously this is by no means the only way you can do this, how you go about it depends on how close you are as friends and your level of comfort- do what feels appropriate. 
Once again, I invite any followers who might have any advice or any relevant stories to send them in, they might be of help!
Good luck, I hope everything works out in your favour!! 💕
