You always wanted to speak of Dress up! Time Princess on tumblr but didn't find anyone to speak with? You just started the game and have the biggest crush on a non-romanceable compagnion? You have been playing for years but still gaze dreamily at some of the Relics?
This tournament is for you!
Rules:
Only Dress Up! Time Princess characters.
Only compagnions that can be found in the gallery of compagnions and can be confirmed as such on the wiki pages.
No NSFW in the propaganda even if you only submitted a character because you're thirsting after them, keep it, albeit passionate, appropriate for minors.
Be civil to each other!
Tagging @master-and-servant-showdown as they had a time princess submission but I'm not sure if I should tag anyone else since it's rather niche.
like honestly just give your non binary characters traditionally "gendered" features. just do it. it's not like being androgynous ever stopped non binary characters from being misgendered.
frisk undertale and kris deltarune were androgynous and are only ever referred to by "they/them" and ppl are still arguing over how the "main character is not the player but their own person" message didn't apply to their genders bc they refuse to wrap their head around different pronouns. raine owlhouse was paraded around as "disney's first ever nb representation" by everyone and their mother but bc they have short hair other countries dub them as male. this also happens to most anime nb characters bc of how japanese pronouns work. halara raincode literally has the color scheme of the non binary flag AND their in-game profile says that they, and i quote "have no specified gender" AND several characters remark on it in the actual game but bc theyre voiced by a female voice actor ppl still call them a woman.
like literally at this point just give your nb characters huge tits and a massive beard. if ppl refuse to accept the existence of non binary characters in media, then there is no way to make a character non binary "enough" to convince them otherwise. no matter how much you hammer in their androgyny in an attempt to detach them from "male" and "female," there will be people determined to assign gender roles to any trait you give your character.
creators being hesitant to give their non binary characters traits that could be associated with a binary gender is why every goddamn genderqueer character that the creator wants you to take seriously in popular media has shoulder length hair and a board-flat figure and a perfectly neutrally pitched voice. like. just do what you want at this point. the character is non binary because your story said so and people who misgender them would have done that no matter how androgynous they look.
Woo finally able to post the piece I did for @raedazineofficial! :D I'm really happy to have been a part of this project and I adore the end result- thanks so much to the organizers and other creators who made it possible!
TOH fandom tell me someone has written the AU where Raine asks Eda to marry them and Eda is all “Oh I would love to, but technically I am already married” and the gang has to go down to Gravity Falls, Oregon, to get Stanley Pines to sign the divorce papers.
