YES YOUR GENDERBEND TAGS!! One of my pet peeves is when genderbend AUs completely swap personalities and interests, and I'm like, nah man! They'd still be the same at their core, but the most interesting part of the AU at all is how despite all that, the way they'd exist in society would shape them differently. Like even if KH is still a bit odd and cold, she's also cool and artsy, and ultimately an androgynous woman is more palpable to people-- whereas DK being more Masc ™️ with her athleticism and country-ness would put her more in the face of homophobia (but also likely less so with her female peers? So interesting! Would she and FH and the other athletic glee girls get along better??)
Okay so I feel like girl!Dave (Dawn/Dove/Danielle) has a similar backstory and starting point to my ftm!Dave post. She grew up a tomboy but faced more and more social pressure to be genderconforming, and as a result doubles down on performing femininity in exchange for acceptance and in order to hide/deny her queerness.
One phenomenon I've noticed with both afab trans/nonbinary people and queer women is this "girly" phase that sometimes happens. It happened to me as a trans man from the onset of puberty until halfway through college where I really REALLY wanted to fit in (especially as an autistic person) with other kids and with what kind of girl I was expected to be. I wanted to feel normal and boys didn't even accept me in their groups. Before that I'd always flip-flopped on my gender presentation. Being trans but not knowing it, my mindset was something like "I've gotta at least try this whole 'being a woman' thing and give it my all" ya know?
I've always thought that butches were often sidelined on Glee. Probably the only time I saw a form of masculinity that felt distinctly queer was with Dave and bear culture, and both were shelved for nearly half of the show's run. And there's Sheldon, but he didn't come out until season 6. The only butch lesbian character we got was Dani, who barely got to do anything. In S2 and S3, it's implied that Santana doesn't want to be stereotyped as a butch lesbian but the show never indicates that being stone butch isn't something to be humiliated over.
So that's a big part of why girl!Dave is so appealing to me.
Back to my headcanon for girl!Dave ( @angelhummel suggested the name Dove jokingly, but I honestly think that's super cute):
So I envision Dove as being very contradictory in her gendered behavior and mannerisms. Being a longtime friend of Azimio, they're often seen together bullying the gleeks and other "losers" in the same way as canon. She's always in her Cheerio uniform though, and almost always wears the jacket over it even on warm days because she's very conscious of her body. Her and Azimio date on and off but it never goes anywhere (Az is more aware that he's a beard than she is).
She's always been more of a teammate than a friend of most of the Cheerios because they used to tease her in middle school. Her and Santana fucking hate each other. She's pretty tight with Brittany though. Dove has aspirations of being the HBIC and Head Cheerio. She's a pretty talented cheerleader, but not as dainty-looking and "pretty" as the others, so she doesn't get as much credit as she deserves.
I feel like Dove would be more willing to join Glee than Dave, because I think Dave was more concerned about seeming gay for singing and dancing than being deemed a loser (although those two are closely related in his eyes). But when people think of showchoir, they don't usually think of lesbians, although it's not surprising when lesbians end up in showchoir. So I think Dove would feel safe enough to take a chance, especially since Dave (though he pretends not to be) is VERY interested in glee club.
She and Finn would have an interesting relationship. They have a lot of the same interests and they would both probably want to date each other at some point (for different reasons of course). He would also probably (eventually) be the first person she comes out to, and he wouldn't be disappointed about it because he would still be pining for Rachel lol.
I think you're right about girl!Kurt (Kate/Liesl/Katherine/Elizabeth) in a way about her being more palatable than boy!Kurt because you can't really tell by looking at her that she's a lesbian. Remember that Kurt never officially came out to the school; everyone just automatically knew because he fit the stereotype. With Liesl, she's definitely the kind of girl that wears fashionable suits, but that could be, like, a girlboss thing. She's always been a beautiful diva ice queen who doesn't care what anyone else thinks. I'd say her initial popularity at the school was comparable to, say, Lauren Zizes before she joined Glee. She still gets slushied for being in glee club, but she doesn't get singled out. At least, not at first.
After Liesl comes out to Mercedes and then her dad in a very different version of Preggers, she gets asked out by Puck and she's like, "fuck it, I'm gay" and word spreads and she gets a lot of sexual harassment. It's kind of like IKAG, except it's ongoing. Of course, it doesn't help that she doesn't have as scary of a reputation as Santana. This all happens shortly after Dove joins the New Directions so, in true Karofsky fashion, she nopes the hell out of there and says something incredibly homophobic on her way out.
I don't think she would single out Liesl like Dave did in S2, and there are two reasons for that:
1. Dove has already befriended Liesl and they were getting along very well. She has a crush on Liesl and is in denial but she's not angry about it like Dave would be because they have friendship to fall back on. And even before Liesl came out, Dove looked up to her and thought she was really cool.
2. Because she already knows what it's like to be subjected to homophobic bullying. Middle school was really tough on her in her tomboy days. So sure, if she's panicking or needs to save face, she'll casually say some lesbophobic shit, but targeted harassment would bring up too many memories for her. The cognitive dissonance would be too intense at that point.
But I don't know. Maybe she would go after Liesl. If she did though, Azimio would 100% call her out on her bullshit because he already knows that Dove's gay, thinks she's become a miserable person to be around due to her denial, and wishes she would just get over it and stop pretending to be someone she's not. Then again, he might do that anyway.
She would decide to rejoin the glee club eventually and apologizing to Liesl, but not before reaching peak bitchy, mean-girl cheerleader levels that would put Santana to shame.
In S2 after The Sue Sylvester Shuffle and losing her Cheerio status, she would freak out because she never learned how to dress herself heterosexually and has to ask Liesl for help, and there's a reveal at the end where she steps into the halls of McKinley dressed like a baby butch and it's so sweet I'm gonna cry.
I think that's it. Sorry if I rambled too much! I wrote this intermittently for the past 8 hours!

the original character playlist tag
rules: choose 5-10 songs that you feel would be your OC’s favourite and tag your friends specifying a character you’re curious about
aaaaaaah i know i’m like a million and a half months late to this, but back when the wonderful @smallcowplant tagged me to do this i was just starting to post my townie makeovers. and whilst i loved by townie makeovers, i didn’t love them nearly enough to waste this fun tag on. so i was patient and held back until i was ready to start working on my next project: a story, where i actually had original characters to use this for. 
once i start posting the story properly you’ll understand why there aren’t exactly loads of original characters i could have chosen from to use for this, plus if i’d have used one of the more main characters it would sort of expose my plans prematurely. so instead you’ve ended up with this lovely lady. she has big dreams, an unrequited crush and a dead-end job at ‘once upon a cone’...
she also has a playlist of songs though, which i took ages to settle on because i wanted something that i felt she would actually listened to but also tied into her character arc which is easier said than done when you have a garbage music taste consisting of musical theater albums and glee covers like i do. but i’m pretty happy with the results, so here it is!
would you be so kind - dodie everybody talks - neon trees hung up - madonna don’t stop - fleetwood mac dog days are over - florence + the machine
it might be a while before we meet her in the story, but hopefully this gave you a little taste of what she’s about!
now for the tagging. @simgerale - since you’re just starting to tell amoria’s story, if you fancied doing this tag then i think this would be really fun to do with her. @nooodlenoot - i know you have a lot of projects you’re playing around with atm so if you want to do this then i’d love to see what you could do for any of your characters. and @foreveralwaysanauthor - i know you don’t really have any sim stories going on at the moment, but if you felt like putting a playlist together like this for any of your original characters then i’d love to see it! <3

Caught
They shouldn't be doing this.
They both knew but they were caught up in the moment. Both giving in to the lust and desire that held there fragile relationship together.
They should stop.
They both knew but the danger of being caught caused too much adrenaline for them to stop. Both getting high off the danger as well as the boy on top/underneath them.
They were doing it again.
They both knew that anyone could come into their 'private business meeting' and see them. Both knew that they had 'forgetten' a silencing charm.

Satisfied?
TW: homophobia, s3x
"Satisfied?"
"Yes," Harry replied "that is all Mr Malfoy."
Draco bowed his head and walked briskly away trying, unsuccessfully, to hide the look of contempt at Harry's new name tag saying Mr Harry Potter-Weasley.
"Satisfied?" Harry tiredly asks his wife.
"Yes, wouldn't want anyone to know about your disgusting obsession with Malfoy," Ginny spits out.
"I'm going out," he sighs out.
"Satisfied?" Draco repeats to his father after proposing to Astoria Greengrass.
"Yes, wouldn't want anyone to know about your disgusting obsession with Potter," Lucius spits out.
"I'm going out," he sighs and puts on his leather jacket.
"Satisfied?" Harry moans wiping the cum off the side of his mouth.
"Mhm," Draco manages to breath out as he reaches his final high.

Bullet
I look at my auror partner from across the room communicating in a way only people who had spent years getting to know each other can. I know it's dangerous here, we both know it. But this is what we do.
I see the movement from the corner of my eye and know he's going to make a move
I didn't see him at first. Draco did. He ran across the room and put his left arm in front of me. That was when I saw the bullet pierce into his arm.
"No!" They could probably hear the scream from the ministry.
But he was fine. Not even a scratch. The gunner did though. The bullet must have bounced back. He was lying on the floor a pool of blood collecting in a neat puddle around his body. Dead.
"How?"
"It's a trait of the Dark Mark," he whispers "it makes you bulletproof."
"Why? I didn't think Voldemort respected muggle equipment that much?"
"I guess he didn't want to take any chances,"

Paper
You're cartridge paper and the first coffee of the day. You're red wine with a loved one.
I'm a snake anticipating an attack. All snark and no forethought. I'm the bottom of the ocean. Undiscovered. Creepy. Dark.
You're the calm after the storm.
I'm the wretched storm.
I'm forever grateful.

Wc: 50!
