Poll response: Gender in Hakuōki

A few months ago I made a poll asking about how you feel about how Hakuōki portrays/handles gender and this is my response to it.

First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who voted. This was intended as a poll about your feelings, i.e. personal impressions, and not meant to find out the “truth”. I’d like to encourage everyone who wants to elaborate on their impressions to do so and for those knowledgeable about topics like Historical Accuracy, to publish posts about these in order to spread knowledge and potentially clear up misconceptions.

Secondly, to the person who asked/chose the option: “Why do you care about this?”

I care about this because every person has their own relationship to gender – indifferent or not – and my relationship to it clashed so hard with Hakuōki’s in KW/EB that it gave me gender dysphoria. I wanted to know how other Hakuōki players/fans reacted to it – not to judge them, just to understand them better.

Thirdly, I want to lead the way and tell you about what I feel in regards to how Hakuouki treats gender. To be exact, I’d like to discuss the appeal of the franchise’s fem MC with the leading question:

Whom is Chizuru for?

Oh, and before I start:

Please don’t judge people for (not) being okay with Hakuōki’s treatment of gender. Everyone has their own experiences and reasons for feeling these ways. Reducing it to “internalized misogyny” is generalizing and redundant.

(BTW, internalized misogyny (or sexism) can influence both sides of the coin:

PROs can be okay with the conservative gender roles in Hakuōki because they were taught this is the way men and women are and should be and they’re comfortable in these roles.

ANTIs can be not okay with them because they were taught femininity/womanhood was inferior and weak and they don’t want to be seen that way.)

Now, I hope I can illustrate the ways that make us feel what we do in regards to gender.

1) Chizuru is for “Not Like Other Girls™ but also kinda still like other girls” girls and women

Snappy (and provocative to some) way to say:

Chizuru is for girls and women that struggle with their femininity/girlhood/womanhood but still identify with it.

Perhaps they don’t like makeup or feminine clothing, perhaps they don’t like hyperfemininity (i.e. wearing pink, skirts, dresses, accentuating their fem* body characteristics, going shopping etc.). In some areas, they might think of themselves as unfeminine but in others, they’re able to fulfill what’s expected of girls and women (e.g. having sex only in romantic relationships, marrying a man, starting a family, being a housewife or stay-at-home girlfriend).

Despite not matching with 100% of their gender’s expectations, they still want to be seen as a girl or woman and not as man or stereotypical lesbian or whatnot. And they want to be desired and respected specifically as a girl or woman.

Most Hakuōki guys, especially Harada and Hijikata, acknowledge that and that’s appealing for girls and women as described above.

And then there’s...

2) Chizuru is for people that don’t care about gender roles and expectations

Androgynous-looking, cross-dressing, sword-wearing, living-in-a-men-dominated-world Chizuru is appealing for Gender-Non-Conforming, trans*, non-binary, genderfluid, genderqueer people and others.

I was raised by a gender-non-conforming woman who builds sheds and does housework, whose income feeds the family, who wears colorful but gender-neutral outfits, whose arms are muscular, chest rather flat but body still feminine, who did karate and handball, who likes women like Whitney Houston, Sigourney Weaver/Alien’s Ripley and Downton Abbey’s Dowager Countess of Grantham, who loves the military not for the “hot masculine men” but for the discipline, weaponry and combative prowess... (I don’t like the military but I see where she’s coming from.)

What I meant to say was: The way I grew up influenced my view on gender. My education lacked a focus on gender roles and expectations, with my mom constantly defying them and my dad not being fond of (hyper)femininity. I wasn’t told that fighting was only for boys and men so I never felt bad for being interested in it. I never questioned my gender identity because no one seemed to care about how feminine or not I was.

The game developers did not include the wishes of players who wanted to fight in a samurai visual novel. They added a singular training scene with Kondo, not to teach Chizuru swordfighting but for the player to develop sympathy for Kondo so that they’ll feel bad once he’s executed.

They could have fixed this easily by including the options to fight so every player that wanted to could do so and those who didn’t could have not done it – and accompanying both options should have been no or neutral consequences so as to not tell players that they are wrong to choose one option over another. Or if they are positive/negative consequences, make them adhere to the respective love interest. (Like how saving Harada at the end of KW does not give you affection because it hurts his masculinity/does not fit with his preferences for his future wife.) Easy fix to make everyone happy, no? Instead of hating the game (experience), we can instead come to the conclusion that we like one love interest less or more.

Also, I want to address this statement I saw:

“The way Chizuru is portrayed is nice to see because women should not have manly qualities in order to be seen as strong.” (*This is no direct quote.)

Yes, you’re right. Feminism is about not forcing roles and behaviors onto people depending on their gender, physical attributes etc., and it’s also about not privileging one gender (expression) over another.

But, do you know that a lot of people in the manosphere and other patriarchal spaces use this sentiment to enforce traditional gender roles and exaggerate the masculine attributes they see in popular media (like Shadiversity sees in Princess Peach in the new Mario movie) and claim that popular media only portrays “strong women” as having masculine attributes, often without convincing arguments? I just say this here to spread awareness so that you don’t fall for manosphere conspiracy theories and such.

Especially when we look at otome games, most fem MCs adhere to traditional fem gender expectations and this is okay (while also often criticized in reviews) but this makes any strong feeling you have towards not wanting Chizuru portrayed in ways you associate with masculinity seem over-the-top. Like, don’t you think that there are otome game players out there who want their MCs to be different from the majority – for whatever reason? It’s great you can see yourself in these fem MCs or you just like seeing such fem MCs but please acknowledge that you are not the only otome game players out there and others might feel differently from you.

(I hope you’re not coming from a place of seeing otome games as ‘one of the last bastions of traditional femininity/gender roles’ because gatekeeping this whole genre of games and forcing each game to adhere to certain standards relating to gender is not fair to anyone [and arguably sexist].)

Another reason why some people are frustrated with Chizuru or with the treatment of her by characters and the franchise as a whole has to do with what X talked about in their critique of the Hakuouki anime series:

Set-up and pay-off.

KW sets up Chizuru as a cross-dressing young woman with a sword, who has basic knowledge in sword fighting, proves herself to be able to protect herself sufficiently (in the test by Saito and Okita), wants herself to be useful and not a burden on others.

So it feels forced, illogical, maybe even ill-willed whenever KW/EB puts Chizuru in compromising situations where she does nothing but scream and cry and has to be saved by others which fuels her self-loathing and feelings of being a burden but she never asks or is being offered to be trained nor does she become able to defend herself in the long run. There are singular scenes of her training but it never pays off. (If she was never set-up to be swordfight-savvy enough to protect herself, her always not being able to protect herself would be justified and not (as) frustrating.) And even in Okita’s EB route, Chizuru wants to fight, Okita allows her to, she kills a man, then has to be saved from another and what does Okita say to Chizuru, who clearly wants to fight by his side? That she has to leave everything to him – without offering her to teach her even though he is a kenjutsu prodigy and instructor. Set-up: Chizuru wants to fight. Pay-off: She fights and kills a man ONE SINGULAR TIME. Like, at least adhere to the Rule of Three... (Or do you think this adheres to this rule: 1) Chizuru proves herself to Saito and Okita, 2) she saves Okita from Kazama, 3) she kills a soldier? Well, it’s at least not enough pay-off for me.)

EB especially spends a lot of time describing in excruciating detail how much Chizuru suffers from guilt and self-loathing, thinking herself a burden on anyone, and how is this resolved? By the love interests saying some phrases about caring about and loving her, needing her (as emotional support...pet, tbh), kissing, sometimes sleeping with her and/or marrying her. She is never given a character arc for growth/change because the love interests are always prioritized over her.

(And she is so goddamn passive in 'her own story'... I would argue that Hakuōki is not about Chizuru, it's about the love interests. She is the Watson to the Sherlock Holmes.)

With Me (Chris Evans)

Pairings: Chris Evans x GN!Reader

(I tried my best to use gender neutral language as the person who requested this didn’t specify their gender, but pls let me know if I missed anything!)

Summary: Friendship can blossom into more than just friendly love.

Request: “hey, can you do an imagine where you and [Chris Evans are] best friends, everyone is always nagging you two to date (ever since you were kids). then, over time you both have feelings for each other and then the both of u dateee :>"

Word Count: 1.7k

A/N: I was excited to write this one so I wrote it when we had lulls at work and then once I got home. Hope you like it! Fill out this poll if you want more Chris Evans AUs!

7 years old

“Go say hi,” Lisa said to Chris as he held one of his action figures in his hand.

“Mooomm, I don’t want to.” Chris said and pouted, looking over to the new family that was moving in across the street from them.

“You should make more friends. You’ll see them a lot too. Take your brother.” She said and motioned for Scott to come over. “Scott, go with Chris and say hi to the new kids across the street.” She said.

Chris narrowed his eyes and took Scott’s hand, walking carefully across the street to say hello. Lisa followed behind, smiling at your mother. “Hello, this is Chris and Scott, and I’m Lisa. We live across the street. I wanted to introduce these two since it looks like you have one around their age.” She said to your mother.

Your mom smiled and nodded, looking down at you. “This is (Y/N), they’re 7 years old.” She said and smiled. “(Y/N), can you say hi to Scott and Chris?” She asked, watching as you peaked your head from behind her leg.

“Hi,” you said timidly. “Do you want to see my toys? I have.. uh.. I have a few like yours.” You said and motioned to Chris’s toy in his hands.

Chris looked up at Lisa and she nodded, watching as the three kids walked over to the small bin of toys nearby. The three of you sitting together in the front yard of your house would become a common occurrence over the next few years, but more specifically Chris and you. You were in the same first grade class and you two were inseparable for years. Even during the summers, you did theater with him at the community center.

17 years old

“What do you mean you’re not taking me to the dance?” You said into the phone, frowning as you looked down to your outfit, one you spent months looking for as it was your senior prom. Your date let out some excuse about not wanting to go, so you ended up on your own.

You walked down the steps to face your parents. “My date isn't coming.” You said, dejected. “At all.” You said.

Your head perked up when you heard Chris’s familiar voice. “I can take you,” he said and smiled. “You look too amazing to be left without an escort.” He said and looked you up and down, admiring the whole ensemble you had put on for the dance.

“Chris,” you said and smiled at him, nodding your head. “Alright, fine,” you said and came down the steps, taking his arm and letting your mom take a few pictures.

“Oh! You two look so cute together. When are you going to get together?” She asked and you felt a rush of heat on the back of your neck.

“Mom!” You said, your eyes widening slightly.

“What? You two have been best friends since you were 7! You look incredibly together.” She said and shrugged as she took another picture. “I’m just saying, I would completely approve if Chris asked you out.”

“You have no shame,” you muttered and smiled a bit as Chris squeezed your waist. “She’s kidding, obviously.” You said.

“Obviously,” Chris teased and smiled, looking at the camera. “We even match.” He whispered, causing you to laugh softly.

“We do, it’s almost like fate.” You joked and smiled a bit, the sadness of your date ditching you fading away the more Chris sent small jokes and quips your way. You couldn’t help but feel embarrassed because you would completely approve if Chris asked you out too. You would say yes, but you were his best friend and there was no way he would ask you out.

Little did you know that Chris felt and thought the same way. With you standing next to him, in the amazing formal outfit you picked out (which you had droned on for weeks to him, and he wasn’t complaining), laughing at his jokes, he knew that he would love for this to become a reality every day. But he couldn’t say anything, because he was your best friend. And there was no way you would say yes if he asked you out.

27 years old

It wasn’t like you to show up to Chris’s apartment in Boston at 3 in the morning. It wasn’t like you to show up anywhere but your bed at 3 in the morning, but here you were, knocking on his door as you clutched your duffle bag in your hands.

You waited a few moments, wanting to knock again until you saw him open the door. The sweats he clearly threw on a few seconds ago were hanging low on his hips as he rubbed his eyes. Those eyes widened when he saw your state. You had clearly been crying, bags under your eyes, holding the same duffle bag you used when you went off to college.

“(Y/N)… what- what are you doing here?” He asked, the tiredness he was feeling completely fading away.

“Alex broke up with me.” You said, your voice cracking. “We’re not getting married… and we aren’t fiancés… or even dating… anymore.” You said, your lip quivering.

“Oh… (Y/N)…” Chris said quietly. “Come in,” he said quietly and opened the door more, letting you step inside. He took your bag and set it down on his kitchen counter. “Come ‘ere.” He said and took you in his arms, letting you cry into his chest.

“I don’t know what I did wrong.” You sobbed and held onto him tightly, barely noticing his bare chest.

“You didn’t do anything wrong, (Y/N). Alex is an idiot for breaking up with you.” Chris replied quietly and kissed the top of your head.

“No, Alex,” you hiccuped but continued, “said I was clingy and annoying and that I never gave them any room to do anything.” You finished and sniffed, shaking your head. “I didn’t- they never said anything like that before. How was I supposed to know?” You asked.

Chris furrowed his eyebrows and pulled away from the hug, making you look at him. “Hey, you, (Y/N), are an amazing person and if Alex can’t see that, they don’t really deserve to marry you. Or date you.” He said and looked into your eyes. “And I’ll be honest, they never really did.” He said.

You frowned even more, blinking your eyes a few times as you took in his words. “What do you mean? I loved Alex… I still.. I still love Alex. We were going to get married and then in a couple years have kids and then… and then our lives would be good.” You said.

“You can do that with someone else, (Y/N/N).” Chris responded, wiping away a few tears from your cheeks.

“With who? I built a whole life with them.” You said, glancing down but looking right back at Chris when he paused. “See? You don’t even-“

“With me,” he interrupted, letting his hands drop to hold yours in his instead. “With me, (Y/N). I’ve been an idiot. I’ve liked you ever since we were 17 and your date left you alone for prom. No, I’ve loved you ever since then.. before then even. And more than a best friend. As a partner. As someone who I want to spend the rest of my life with. To love, romantically, and to be there for when you’re upset or happy or anything as long as I get to be there for it.” He said and looked into your eyes. “I’m in love with you.”

Those words made more tears well in your eyes, but not from sadness, from happiness. “Really?” You asked and did your best to smile when he nodded. “Chris…” you whispered, not being able to respond from the amount of emotions flowing through your body at the moment. You wrapped your arms around his waist, burying your head in his chest again. “God I love you too… I’m in love the you.” You muttered quietly and pulled away when you caught your breath. “I’m in love with you.” You said clearly, looking in his eyes.

“Then why are you still crying?” He asked and you let out a small laugh.

“I did just get out of a 4 year relationship with my fiancé.” You quipped, sniffing and smiling when he chuckled.

“Come here, baby,” Chris whispered and pulled you into his chest again. “We can talk later. Right now, come lay in bed with me and we can cuddle until you fall asleep.” He said quietly.

28 years old

“Okay.. now you can open your eyes.” Chris said, smiling as he slid the blindfold from your eyes.

You took in your surroundings, noticing that you were standing in the front yard of your childhood home. In the same one, and the same spot, you had met Chris all those years ago. “Chris.. are we here for dinner with my parents?” You asked, confused as you turned around to him, gasping as he was down on one knee.

He took one of your hands as he started his speech. “(Y/N), 21 years ago, on this day, we met in this very yard. And I couldn’t be happier for that either. My mom pushed me to say hi to the new kid across the street, and if she didn’t, I wouldn’t have met the most amazing person in my life. I wouldn’t have met you. You’ve been my best friend, and the love of my life for all those years. Please, make me even happier and marry me?” He asked, pulling out a ring from his jacket.

“Oh, god, Chris, yes.” You muttered, not even waiting for him to stand up before you got down on the ground and kissed him deeply. “I love you so much.” You whispered against his lips and kissed him again, laughing when he pulled away and asked if he could put the ring on your finger. “We gotta get you a matching on.” You noted, grinning from ear to ear as you heard his laugh ring out.

“I love you, (Y/N). And I always will.” He reminded you again before planting another passionate and love-filled kiss on your lips.

Bracket F Round 1

Poll 23

Remus Velez (@jojoandthejobros) vs. Ezra Mirkin aka Sunflower & Naomi Ava Mirkin aka Dandelion (@prinxe-with-no-crown)

365. Remus Velez (@jojoandthejobros)

He/They

He's a black and silver Dragonborn that can turn into a dragon. He's the character that I play as the most in my DND campaigns. He's the son of Tiamat and Bahamut. He has been reincarnated multiple times and during his first life, he used to be a god. He defeated not only one god, but two during his last life and ascended to become a god. He was there to fight for the world that he loved when the other gods had abandoned it in the apocalypse. He's 10 ft tall and can turn into a 90 ft tall dragon. He's also very attractive and dummy thicccccccccc.

He's currently married to his husband, Mitch (who used to be half human and half vampire, but has ascended to become a dragon god).

He's a black and silver Dragonborn with silver eyes and long black dreadlocks. He has two sets of ram-like horns. He's 10 ft tall in his normal form and 90 ft tall in his dragon form. He does also have a human form since he's a god now. His human form has dark brown skin, long black dreadlocks, and silver eyes. He usually wears black and silver clothing.

366. Ezra Mirkin aka Sunflower & Naomi Ava Mirkin aka Dandelion (@prinxe-with-no-crown)

he/him for Sunflower and they/them (but also feminine terms) for Dandelion

oh boy, where do i start.

see, first off, they are siblings - Sunflower is older than Dandelion by ten years (at the time of writing - this might change). second off, both of them are queer - Dandelion is a transfem lesbian, and Sunflower isn't quite sure what his deal is (and also he doesn't think he "counts" but he does). third off, they are magical girls (which, in here, will be used as a gender neutral term).

in this universe, you become a magical girl when you experience an overwhelming peak of an emotion which you don't otherwise have an outlet for. you stop being one once you no longer need to be one. your magical girl form has your hair be the colour associated with the emotion you need the outlet for, and your outfit is themed - as closely or as loosely as you on some level want - around a flower, and said flower also determines what your main powerset is.

as a magical girl, Dandelion has green hair. it signifies their desire to experience as much life as they can, their desire to truly, completely *live* rather than survive. meanwhile, Sunflower's hair is purple, out of his desire to protect his sister.

protect them from what, you may ask.

well, these days, it's from the dangers posed by being a magical girl; but the first time, it was from their father.

here's a thing - Sunflower never really expected that he would at some point need to take care of Dandelion. while yes, being raised by their father wasn't good for him, due to how he never really wanted to fit the ideal of masculinity that dad pushed on him, he has not yet processed that it has damaged him - and also, he has moved out before the problems have started in full swing for Dandelion.

why has the father been, judging by the way i describe it, worse to Dandelion than to Sunflower?

several reasons. for one, their mother, Naomi (you may notice that is also Dandelion's first name - that's why they chose it) died when Sunflower was 18 and Dandelion was 8. that means that while Sunflower has been raised by both of them, Dandelion has from that point on been raised only by the dad; and he has certainly been affected by Naomi's death. for two, in their early teens, they have started to lose hearing, which has in their fathers eyes looked as though they were no longer obedient. in addition to that, they did not go through a natural puberty, meaning an even further drift from their father's ideal of masculinity.

once, when Dandelion was 15, Sunflower came to visit. in the middle of his visit, at some point, their father has started yelling at Dandelion over them asking him to repeat something; none of their responses seemed to satisfy him. he stood up and raised his hand in a fist -

but it never came down.

this once, Sunflower, transformed as a magical girl for the first time in his life, caught it.

what followed was a hard-fought, just barely won custody battle; what follows is Sunflower wanting so desperately to do right by his sister, and convinced that he is not good enough.

to finish this up, here is a quote from my drafts:

Scorp: Do you need me to quote them word for word? Because I can do word for word. "I really wish I could help him. He is the best thing that ever happened to me."

Sunflower: That doesn't say much when the bar is on the ground! For fifteen years they lived with the man who would be furious every time they wouldn't hear him yet never even tried to find out if maybe there was a reason! Who easily could've known why they aren't going through puberty, but instead chose to be angry about it and take it out on them! Who, three years later, I still keep tabs on, so that I know they are safe from him!

I take a deep breath.

Scorp: The bar is on the ground, you say? Okay. But the ground is offering only what is necessary. A diagnosis and hearing aids, hormones matching the assigned gender, a restraining order. But you haven't stopped there. You have learned sign language alongside them. You have talked to them and found out they're closer to being a girl than they are to being a boy, and helped them get the hormones they'd prefer. You keep tabs on their father, so that you know he is not going to try anything, because you know he broke the law before. The ground is cold. You have offered them warmth.

I look at him again. This time, he seems to be taking it in.

Scorp: You are a good brother. They don't want anything better.

Thanks for the tag, @ahoymultiships ! Remember when we (general we) like talked to each other and did tags and stuff? Honestly I'm surprised anyone voted in my outfit poll but super nice to interact with people even if the old days of community aren't a realistic goal.

Anyway, 5 songs I've been listening to:

De Selby pt 2, Hozier, because I'm a Hozier girlie and it's great even though I have no idea what the mv is about. (A thought I just had is to wonder if I identify with my gender more in this gender-neutral girl/girlie era of internet and gay culture. Like even gender neutrally, maybe exposure to language makes it more comfortable and then that transfers to more comfort in gendered ways? Although girl has always been more comfortable than woman so maybe not idk.)

So Far Away, Carole King, because I picked a title from it for this reddie fic that is not interesting but I'm really trying to finish

Thinkin Bout You, Frank Ocean

The Easy Way, Dar Williams

Betting on the Races, Chris Pureka

Before I go to bed I want to poll for something I’ve been heavily thinking about.

The next set of headcanons I want to do are “constumating a marriage” (kinda a sequel to fucking before the wedding hc’s I did lol) but I’m not sure how to go about the reader.

I recognize that many of my followers identify with a wide range of gender/size/race etc identities so I want to continue doing my due diligence and making the reader fit as many people as I can

With that being said, for the reader’s wedding outfit—would it make people more comfortable if I just said “___ slowly took your wedding attire/outfit off” instead of saying “wedding dress” “pantsuit” etc? For more gender neutral stuff, is there any suggestions you’d like to potentially see?

I dont plan on posting any of the responses so please be ask honest as you can

#please let me know #also these won’t be coming out this weekend since I’ll be at a convention #so probably sometimes early next week #thank you <3 #and I promise I’ll go to bed now lol

Welcome to Magical Mascot Smackdown, where we pit cute little magical girl mascots against eachother for fun.

Current Round

no tournament is currently running on this blog.

FAQ

What counts as a magical girl?

For this tournament, magical girl is used as a gender-neutral term. Characters don't have to be girls to count!

On the most basic level, a magical girl is a character who uses magic to solve problems, and who transforms or changes outfits while doing so.

Magical girl stories often feature a cute, girly aesthetic, episodic storytelling, and themes of friendship, love and selflessness.

What counts as a magical girl mascot?

Magical Girl Mascots are creatures that help a magical girl to do her job. They might allow her to transform, give her power-ups, or offer advice and information.

They are typically small and non-human (though they might transform into a larger/humanoid form). Human babies can also count, provided they have some kind of magical power.

They regularly accompany the magical girl, whether in her magical form, her everyday life, or both!

They do not have to have the girl's best interests at heart - evil characters are eligible provided they fit the other criteria.

Characters who fall into a grey area generally go through a preliminary poll where people can vote on if they should be included in the tournament.

here's the results of my other poll: what do you want tagged and searchable? I am making a public response.

many people wanted gender lean and age range searchable, so i will do my best to be tagging those. tags will probably be #masc, #fem, and #neutral.

age ranges will be tagged as #baby, #toddler, #kid, and #teen.

now for the free response questions:

i personally don't understand which of my outfits are or aren't kidcore, so i don't think i will be tagging that, even though it was an overwhelming request. i can definitely do pastel, i can probably do spooky, and i can try and tag other "cores" but i don't know how good i will be at that.

second question had responses that were much more concrete, this is easier on me.

good news! animals are mostly already tagged with stuff like #puppy regression and/or #puppy regressor. it's not the best system because it might be a bit finicky to figure out what name i used for the animal, but from now on i think if it's a more specific animal and not a kitty/puppy, (just don't want to end up in the tags with people's pet pictures) then i will tag it! i.e.: #coyote or #raccoon instead of, or possibly in addition to: #coyote regression or #raccoon regression

absolutely can do! i will tag them #mobility aids.

everyone who did not participate in the survey but would like to share their opinion or tagging-related requests: please use the askbox.

LGBTQ+ travel: This airline has relaxed its gendered uniform rules

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/lgbtq-travel-this-airline-has-relaxed-its-gendered-uniform-rules/

LGBTQ+ travel: This airline has relaxed its gendered uniform rules

British airline Virgin Atlantic has changed its uniform policy to be more inclusive.

Crew, pilots and ground teams are no longer required to wear gendered uniform and may instead choose which outfit best represents them.

The policy change is part of a wider relaxing of the airline‘s uniform rules.

In 2019, Virgin Atlantic removed itsmandatory makeup requirement for female staff and allowed women to wear trousers and flat shoes. Earlier this year, it also became the first UK airline to allow visible tattoos.

Optional pronoun badges have also been introduced for staff along with mandatory inclusivity training.

Passengers, too, can opt to wear pronoun badges. Gender neutral ‘U’ or ‘X’ codes are now available on the airline’s booking system along with the title ‘Mx.’ for people holding gender neutral passports, which are available in a handful of countries including Argentina, Austria, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, India, Ireland, Malta, Nepal, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Pakistan.

Why has Virgin Atlantic changed its uniform rules?

In an announcement of the new rules, Virgin Atlantic states, “The policy champions the individuality of Virgin Atlantic’s people by enabling them to wear the clothing that expresses how they identify or present themselves.”

The move is backed by research showing that allowing staff to embrace their individuality at work creates a better experience for both employees and customers.

Data – collected by 3Gem in 2022 on behalf of Virgin – found that it increases mental wellbeing by 49 per cent and feelings of happiness by 65 per cent. The market researcher polled 2,000 adults across the UK.

The uniforms, designed by Vivienne Westwood, consist of a red jacket and pencil skirt or a burgundysuit. LGBTQ+ staff members can now choose whichever option best reflects their gender identity.

Virgin Atlantic hopes the move will cement it as “the most inclusive airline in the skies”.

TV personality Michelle Visage is spearheading the campaign

The campaign was announced on Wednesday, with a social media campaign rolled out by ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ judge Michelle Visage.

In a video posted on Instagram, she expresses her personal commitment to inclusivity: “As the mother of a non-binary child, and as an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, these efforts by Virgin Atlantic to further inclusivity for its people are extremely important and personal to me.

People feel empowered when they are wearing what best represents them, and this gender identity policy allows people to embrace who they are and bring their full selves to work.”

The video also spotlights staff members embracing the new policy. “It’s not about cancelling people. It’s not about removing women or removing men. It’s just about more inclusive language,” says Virgin Atlantic first officer Alison Porte.

“This policy allows everyone to have a seat at the table. It’s not about taking away from anyone. It’s just allowing everyone from the community to have a voice,” adds non-binary performer and activist Tyreece Nye – another celebrity champion of the policy change.

Racist Clothing Brands + Black Brands to Buy From Instead:

Racist Brands

Chanel

Chanel has been repeatedly accused of racially profiling Black customers and last year they hired a white woman as head of their "diversity and inclusion" department.

Gucci

Gucci has a complicated history with the Black community, stemming from them all but trying to destroy Dapper Dan's business only to hire him two decades later. Most recently they came under fire for releasing a sweater that had suspiciously Blackface elements and stealing designs from Black designers.

Prada

Prada has a similar history and they recently had to apologize after releasing a collection of monkey key chains.

Dior

Dior's most recent fragrance campaign came under fire for racist undertones but a Black Hollywood stylist also gave BET.com an account of an incident that she had with a brand. The stylist requests to remain anonymous says, "they compromised our creative relationship by not following through on requests and instead loaning looks that were promised to me to white actors instead."

Celine

Celine's branding is notoriously extremely thin and extremely white. A quick scroll of their social media will reveal exactly their opinion on Black lives.

Barney’s

Before going bankrupt, Barney's had to pay out a settlement in a racial discrimination case of $525k to two plantiffs.

Moda Operandi

A former employee of the company released this thread on Moda Operandi, citing several micro aggressions she suffered there.

Burberry

Burberry issued an apology after releasing a sweater featuring a noose motif.

Tommy Hilfiger

In 1996, Tommy Hilfiger famously made comments against the Black community and has since clarified what he meant, but the hurt in the community lingers.

Moschino

Managers discriminated against black customers who did not appear to be rich or famous.

“If a potential black client was not a celebrity and did not have an outward appearance of money via diamonds or name brands, defendant [Ranna] Selbak called them a ‘Serena’ to other sales associates and wanted the ‘Serena’ to be closely watched,” according to the complaint.

Versace

A former male Versace employee sued Versace for allegedly firing him after his manager realized he was Black.

Zara

Zara was accused of using racial code words for black and Latinx customers. The Center for Popular Democracy surveyed 251 Zara employees in New York City about the retailer’s practices. Poll respondents said that when the term “special order” was used at the store, employees were to find the location of the shoppers in question and follow them around. Black customers were most often described as “special orders,” according to the survey results.

Reformation

They were criticised for their internal practices by a black former employee, Elle Santiago. Santiago said she was denied work promotions in favor of white colleagues, as well as being ignored by the company founder, Yael Aflalo, because of her race.

“Being overlooked and undervalued as a woman of color who worked and managed their flagship store for three years was the hardest,” Santiago wrote in an Instagram post picked up by industry watchdog Diet Prada. “I cried many times knowing [that] the color of my skin would get me nowhere in the company.”

Urban Outfitters

“As one of very few PoC [people of color] I quickly noticed the toxic environment I’d joined,” says the former employee, who wishes to remain anonymous. “Within my first month my manager made a flippant racist comment in regards to an Uber I’d called; the driver’s name was Muhammad. Her comment was, ‘You would get a Muhammad’ – in what I can only take as a comment made because of my heritage.

“There’s no PoC in the executive team and very little representation of PoC in head office, on the website, marketing campaigns and within the retail management teams.”

The company has a history of producing offensive items of clothing, including a seemingly blood-spattered T-shirt seen as a reference to the 1970 Kent State shootings; a T-shirt in a color named “Obama/Black”; another featuring a six-pointed badge, which seemed to allude to the Star of David badge that Jewish people were forced to wear during the Holocaust; and a racially insensitive Navajo line which used the Navajo nation name illegally.

Dolce & Gabbana

Ads, featured a Chinese woman struggling to eat spaghetti and pizza with chopsticks.

Comme des Garçons

White models wore wigs of traditional Black people’s hairstyles during its men’s autumn/winter 2020 show.

“Go say hi,” Lisa said to Chris as he held one of his action figures in his hand.

“Mooomm, I don’t want to.” Chris said and pouted, looking over to the new family that was moving in across the street from them.

“Hi,” you said timidly. “Do you want to see my toys? I have.. uh.. I have a few like yours.” You said and motioned to Chris’s toy in his hands.

You walked down the steps to face your parents. “My date isn't coming.” You said, dejected. “At all.” You said.

“Chris,” you said and smiled at him, nodding your head. “Alright, fine,” you said and came down the steps, taking his arm and letting your mom take a few pictures.

“Oh! You two look so cute together. When are you going to get together?” She asked and you felt a rush of heat on the back of your neck.

“Mom!” You said, your eyes widening slightly.

��You have no shame,” you muttered and smiled a bit as Chris squeezed your waist. “She’s kidding, obviously.” You said.

“Obviously,” Chris teased and smiled, looking at the camera. “We even match.” He whispered, causing you to laugh softly.

Races

Pairings: Chris Evans x GN!Reader (i try my best to make it gender neutral. Let me know if I messed up!)

Request: “Going to the races with Chris. him being such a gentle giant, protective, his hands either resting on your waist or shoulders, sitting on his lap, betting together and putting his hands on your shoulders to lead the way through busy crowds. literally just so much fluff, butttt with some little parts of angst: the reader starts to feel insecure about themselves with all of the people around them feel like everyone else is better looking. but chris reassures the reader” - @remshearts

Warnings: mentions of insecurity, crowds, reader sits on Chris’s lap, might’ve included more angst but there’s plenty of fluff too

Words: 770ish

There you were, Chris’s arm wrapped around your waist, his hand on your hip rubbing small circles as you waited in line to bet on the horses that would be racing. You couldn’t help but look around, noticing that everyone around you seemed slightly better dressed then you. You noticed a couple people that were definitely better looking (in your opinion), so that insecure feeling started bubbling in your chest. Your thoughts were interrupted when Chris pressed his lips to your head. “Who do you want to bet on?” He whispered in your ear. You were surprised you could hear him over the loud crowd.

He was wearing a tan suit that made him fit in perfectly with the surrounding people, his sunglasses perched on his head since you two were in a shaded area. You looked up at him, admiring the freshly shaped beard until your eyes landed in his blue ones. “Uh… nor incredibly sure. I’ve never done this before.” You responded.

Chris’s eyes softened, if that was even possible, upon hearing this. “It’s okay, babe. We’ll bet together, yeah?” He suggested. “We’ll win because we’ve got you. And you are my good luck charm.” He said with a wink, squeezing your waist as he nudged you forward.

You both placed your bets, deciding on a horse named Mo Donegal. Chris knew more than you did, so you decided to go along with what he said. As you made your way through the crowd to your seats, that creeping feeling of insecurity popped up again. This wasn’t your place. You were never the high society type of person. You could barely even walk straight without tripping. But your nerves were settled when you felt Chris’s hands on your waist, making sure that you could navigate through the crowd. Once you both sat down, you saw the look on his face. He knew what was going through your head.

“How are you feeling?” He asked, a hand reaching up to stroke your cheek. “I can tell your mind is racing right now, what’s wrong?” He asked.

“Nothing.” You said, looking down. He tsked in disapproval, nudging your head up with his thumb so you’d look back in his eyes. “I don’t belong here, Chris.” You said quietly.

His brows furrowed, eyes glancing between yours until he shook his head. “No… (Y/N). Why would you say that? You’re with me. You’re doing great.” He said.

“I have a hole on the bottom of my shirt… everyone is wearing hats… they all look so good and I’m-“ You started but were quickly cut off by the feeling of Chris’s soft lips on yours.

“Stop that. You know you look amazing. And no one will pay attention to your outfit. They’re too busy holding their noses from the smell of the horses they’re making money on.” He teased, hands moving down to your waist. “You look incredible. Wonderful. You’re the most amazing person here. And I mean it.” He said and gave you that soft side smile of his that made you want to melt.

“But Chris-“

“No buts, (Y/N). Now come ‘ere.” He said and shifted slightly, pulling you on his lap. “I don’t want you to think that you don’t belong here. Because I want you here. And I want you to be comfortable with me.” He said, chin resting on your shoulder.

You turned to face him. “I am comfortable with you.” You assured him, reaching up to cup his beard. “But this whole thing is new to me.”

“I’m here to help you navigate it.” He said and winked at you again, kissing you one more time before turning his attention forward towards the racing track as the horses and jockeys lined up in the stalls.

Chris kept his arms wrapped around your waist the whole race, squeezing every now and then when the horse you bet on got closer to the front, eventually winning the race. He hopped up from his set, somehow spinning the two of you around in celebration of the victory. You heard yourself laugh along with him, kissing him gently as he leaned down to your level.

He led you back towards the car with his hands on your shoulders, knowing that the amount of people was probably draining you. When he opened the door for you, you turned back towards him. “Thank you, for today. I had an amazing time.” You said and smiled when he leaned down to kiss you again.

“Anything for you, babe.” He said quietly and kissed your forehead before motioning you to get in the car.

—————————————

A/N: i could’ve made this longer but I really wanted to post it and I’m not sure what else I would add. Also I absolutely love (in general but also writing) Chris being protective and all handsy… does something to me haha. Hope you liked it!

Favorites

Pairing: Chris Evans x Fem!Reader

Warnings: hospitals, IV mentioned, pain meds, anxiety mentioned, not proof read

Request by @chrisevansdaughter “you’ve been in and out of hospitals most of your life because of a condition called costochondritis which is basically from what I was told it is inflammation of the rib cage, so the muscles in the rib cage strain easy and let me tell you it’s not fun. Unfortunately you have a flare up because it comes and goes which gives you heart palpitations, makes you feel dizzy etc which is pretty normal at least in my case. With being extremely painful sometimes it’s like a bad cramp or shooting pain if I had to describe it. It gets that Chris has to take you to the hospital for tests and medication which means needles do on top of being in hospital you hate needles like fear hate. So he brings all your comfort items, like one of his hoodies, your headphones to calm you and one of your favourite blankets to have whilst you get treated”

It was happening again. You couldn’t stand up because of the pain, you could barely breathe. Chris could tell something wrong by the way you were sitting with the slight pained expression on your face.

“Baby? Are you okay?” Chris asked and frowned, sitting up on your shared couch. “Are you having a flare up?”

You nodded your head slowly, causing the dizzy feeling to rush to your head. You lost focus on your eyes and took Chris’s hand in yours, squeezing it slightly. “It’s- It’s bad.” You muttered and felt your lip quiver slightly from the pain.

He helped you as best he could, deciding it was better to take you to the hospital because of how light headed you were getting. He called Scott, asking him to bring all of your favorite things to the hospitals. He didn’t know how much time you would be at the hospital and knowing that you hated being in them, he wanted to make sure you were as comfortable as possible.

Chris held your opposite hand and distracted you, making sure you were looking into his baby blues while the doctors put an IV in your arm. They gave you some pain relief medication to help you, and eventually had to take you for some tests out of the room.

Chris stayed waiting for you, thanking Scott when he brought the bag of stuff for you. He set out the essential oil diffuser, putting in some oil so the smell of the room would be better than the clean and odd odor that all hospitals have. He put down your favorite blanket, one that both of you used frequently (it was twice the size of both of you combined). He got out your headphones, making sure they were charged up and then paired them with his phone, putting on your favorite calming soundtrack.

You came back, feeling tired because of the pain meds and from the anxiety of being at the hospital. When you saw all that he had done for you, you nearly started crying.

“I got your favorites,” He said quietly, embracing you softly as you melted into his arms.

This man gave you everything you could ask for and then some, even helping you put on your favorite sweatshirt of his so you were cozy enough to sleep while awaiting tests.

Even after you left, Chris didn’t stop comforting you, telling you how much he loved you and that he was so proud of you for getting through the pain.

The couple days after the visit were hard too, not knowing when the next flare up would be or if you would have to go to the hospital again. But you knew as long as Chris was with you, you would be safe.

Cuddles

Chris Evans Drabble

Pairing: Chris Evans x Reader (gender not specified)

Word Count: 400

Description: A long day of work calls for all the soft cuddles and fluff

There he was. Standing with his arms open, Dodger by his side wagging his tail, as he waited for you to come in from the garage. You have a tired smile, slowly walking over to him and wrapping your arms around his waist to inhale his sweet and savory scent.

“Hey baby,” Chris mumbled into your hair after kissing the top of your head. “Long day?” He asked, rubbing your back up in down and in the process making you practically melt into him.

All you could do was hum in agreement into his chest, burying your face impossibly deeper in the soft blue sweater he had on.

“Want to lay down?” He added, trying but failing to pull away as your grip on him tightened ever so slightly. “Want to cuddle?” He added, resulting in you pulling awaythis time, just enough to look up at the blue-eyed man’s bearded face.

“Please?” You asked, your voice quiet. He nodded, turning around and taking your hand in his, a smile coming to his face as he led you over to the living room and you pet Dodger while walking.

Chris laid down on the extra wide couch, pulling you towards his chest as you fell into it beside him. Dodger curled in a ball on the floor, his eyes still looking up at the two of you.

You, almost like the adorable dog, curled into Chris’s side. You were just happy to be in his arms, by his side. You leaned into his touch as he ran his hand over your hair, slightly massaging your scalp.

“You know, I missed you today.” He said quietly, giving you that side smile that couldn’t be described as anything but soft. “Dodger and I went on a walk and he wanted so badly to get in the car to visit you.”

“I missed you too.” You whispered and reciprocated the smile. “And are you sure that was Dodger and not you?” You teased, smiling happily as you heard his sweet chuckle.

“I think it was both.” Chris said, looking down at you and pressing a tender kiss to your forehead. “I ever tell you how much I love you?” He asked and a larger smile came to your face.

“Once or twice. But you can always remind me.” You said, resting your chin on his chest.

“I love you, (Y/N), so much.” He whispered and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to your lips.

My #1 post of 2022

a request here!

chris being all shy and lovely dovely when he’s hears you talking about him in an interview. (for example: your both of yous are at the promo of your movie together). you two had to split up quickly to do your own promo/interviews with the press. then he hears you talk about him and is in complete shock (in a good way) and everyone around him are teasing him about him being a simp! <333

A/N: I can already tell I'm going to love this one to. Thanks for requesting again! (Lucky I have this week off and I'm feeling inspired haha... Also look at him!!! I can't with this man) also, if you could fill out this poll quickly before/after reading, I’m planning a new Chris Evans AU and need some more ideas.

Of Course, Baby

Pairings: Actor!Chris x Actor/GN!Reader

------------------------------------------------

Earlier Today

"Oh, yeah, Chris is amazing. And when he gets into character it's like you're transformed into the world with him. I mean, I think I can act - but boy can he act too." You said happily, smiling at the interviewer who had just asked what it was like working with the Chris Evans.

"And has there been any... romance... on set at all?" The interviewer asked, smiling over at you. "We've seen how the two of you act together, there is some pretty amazing chemistry between the two of you." She said.

"Oh, I don't know about that. We're really good friends." You said, glancing over to your manager. You and Chris didn't want to speak about your relationship to the public yet, but both of your teams and a few of your fellow co-stars/friends knew about the two of you. "But he really is amazing. And incredibly handsome too, especially with the beard. He's even got longer hair for part of the movie - which is in the trailer so I'm not spoiling anything - and he looked really good when filming that. But yeah... just friends." You nodded as you rambled, pursing your lips.

Present

"And that was was your co-star (Y/N) (L/N) had to say about filming with you. Anything to say back?" The same interviewer asked, watching as a soft blush crossed over Chris's cheeks.

"Oh, (Y/N) is a sweetheart. I loved acting with them, truly." He said and smiled happily. "(Y/N) flatters me way too much, too. I try telling them that they are an incredible actor, and person, but they never fully believe me. Plus, they are so passionate about their work, which makes it even better. I really wouldn't expect them to compliment me that much though." He said and smiled, thanking the interviewer when she got up then left.

"Wow, Chris, you really do like (Y/N). I know you two are dating, but it's cute to see you physically blushing. Twitter is going to have a field day." His manager said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Oh come on, I wasn't blushing." He said and ran a hand down his beard, as if to wipe the smile off his face. It didn't work. Thinking of you and the compliments you gave him make his heart melt and all he wanted to do was go two rooms down so he could see you to return the favor.

"You were, and I think you might want to go see (Y/N) before your face turns completely red." He said and smiled when Chris got up.

"I've got time?" Chris asked and his manager nodded.

"You're so whipped." He added, hearing a loud chuckle from Chris as he walked out of the room.

"Fine by me!" He called back to him, smiling when he knocked on the door to your interview room. "Hey, baby," He said when he saw the room only had you, your manager, and your makeup stylist in it. "Figured I would stop by while we're on a break." He said and smiled.

You lit up at his voice, turning over to him. "Hey! Yeah, come on over." You said and stood up, wrapping your arms around his neck. "I've been asked a lot about you today. Hard keeping all my feelings in, especially when you aren't here to mess with all day." You teased.

He chuckled and gave you a gentle smile. "Hard to keep in? We could always give someone an exclusive, tell them about us." He said, wiggling his eyebrows as he squeezed your waist. "I would like to compliment my amazing co-star... and partner... too." He said quietly and looked into your eyes.

"You mean it?" You asked, almost bouncing on your heels in anticipation.

"Of course, baby. I don't want you keeping those feelings in." He teased, rubbing your waist.

You leaned up, kissing him gently as you smiled against his lips. "Let's tell that one interviewer... works for the BBC." You said and thought for a moment.

"Ahh.. You're talking about Ali Plumb? Yeah, I like his interviews. We'll give him the exclusive. And not tell our managers. It'll be fun." He said and winked at you, pecking your lips.

"Would you mind grabbing the producer and combining the rest of our interviews today?" You asked your manager, who nodded then left to grab them. "You sure about this?" You asked Chris, looking back up at him.

"Yes. I'm sure. I love you, and I would like for the whole world to know." He said, placing another kiss on your lips while he held you close.

What are the brothers' reactions when they find out MC is an angel? Not the angel-demon kind of angel, but a Victoria's Secret angel? (Sorry for the weird idea but I can't get it off my mind)

PROMPT :: “In the Vogue’s Front Page”

Rating: SFW

Words: 900

Characters: Demon Boys + MC / Gender-Neutral Reader

Notes: Who knew even demons would group themselves up in someone’s den just to gossip about you.~ ヽ(>∀…Or stalk you for that matter?

“Asmodeus, this atrocious request of coming all together to your… distasteful bedroom should be worth every second.” The eldest tsk for being the first to arrive. It was something he is to blame himself for always taking schedules and time promptly.

He should have taken considerations with how his brothers are, but then, why should he, the Prideful one, compromise to his brother’s lacking awareness?

“ExCUse mE?!”

Before the Avatar of Lust could even sharply reply, clearly offended from the commentary, the great Mammoney puffed and huffed upon reaching the door, gasping with his uniform all drenched with back sweat with his hand by the door handle, unable to keep his composure cool.

A pause lingered around the room.

“Care to explain, Mammon?” Lucifer asked, like a shepherd to his black sheep who is still breathless from all that running.

“Well,” the white-haired boy verbalized, “Asmo said he got some good quality intel and it ain’t something I’ll be bargaining with anything. The problem is, I have to figure out how to get rid of those witches.”

“You do know that running away from them would be insignificant should they summon you, yes?” exclaimed the shortest as he made an entrance, his green eyes scanning the flirt’s quarters, not liking the amount of flora that could have been a place to put more books. “You just could not miss it because it is about our darling human and you most certainly, have an interest in them.”

“Cut it out, Satan! Of all demons, you just gotta join the party?” Infuriated, he was to show no interest to the intel, proving Satan wrong, when Lucifer ended what was supposed to be a starting flame or a firing gun for him to leave, parting the two by placing himself in between;

“That is enough, Satan.”

“You are not my dad, Lucifer.”

“Technically, I am…”

Pushing his brows together, there was tension and added awkwardness into the mix when a tall, Mt. Everest, ginger hair burst in, a hamburger on his left side and a sleeping sloth on the other. It was a convenient ride for the youngest twin. Plus! He does not need to walk and he could still have more time to sleep.

“You are leaving already, Mammon? Will you get the drinks I ordered in my room?”

“I guess I’ll just stay then..” Mammon grumbled, walking back in as he soon saw Leviathan coming in next, his eyes on the screen, grunting a victory from the nerdy game he has been addictively playing for the past month. It was not cool not having only them to share his “over-the-top” video games. How he wishes he could have the same bond as what they and Levi had…

Oh, what was he thinking.. he was their first!

“It is so unfair how I have to walk the farthest out of all you six… Can you imagine those lost precious seconds I could have used watching The Tale of the Seven Lords?” Levi grumbled, closing the door, marking them all present in the peach boy’s room.

Rubbing his hands together like a mad genius who had his eureka moment, Asmodeus began narrating, moments after furiously shaking Belphegor to wake;

“Let me begin the story then,” Asmodeus says so as the light of the room cast a spotlight on him;

“It was just any other day in Devildom when I noticed our human exchange student strutting the hallways like they own it. For a moment, I thought my popularity poll might be directly affected since I might be having some competition with a human exchange stu–“

“Please Asmodeus. Go directly to the point!” the remaining brothers exclaimed, making their Narcissus form lines in between his brows. It was the second offense of the evening.

“Our little human could tell a shorter story with three dots as a reply.” Satan barked.

“Fine!”

Reaching out his recent and latest subscription magazine, there their little human was, bold and daring in a two-piece summer outfit beneath the word Vogue with sand touching their bums and hair drenched from a little swim, there was a text italicized just by their toned thighs that the seven brothers hurdled up to take a good look.

Victoria Secret Angel shares secrets on how to be one.

“You gotta be kidding me…” Belphegor exclaimed, making their self-admiring sibling laugh.

“With that body deliciously maintained, what do you mean “you gotta be kidding me?”

“I thought you said there’s food on the group message? Our human friend is not food..” Beel cut in, defending his younger twin when everyone’s disinterest to join in came to a halt, hearing their envious brother type in his little blinky box’ keyboard.

It was obvious in his facial expression how he was unable to get the best view of the magazine. Especially when Lucifer and Mammon were fighting to get the center.

VICTORIA SECRET FASHION SHOW |

Typing in their human’s name, thousands of videos soon popped out of compilations of them strutting the catwalk with the most adorned lingerie and theatrical feathers as thumbnails… it was enough to raise everyone’s temperature.

And like the light to a moth’s eye, the brothers formed a concave-shape behind him, shouts of putting the video on full-screen shushed by the start of the music.

…

It was all surreal… Their little human was actually a model.

…

And in a bikini as well.

“Guys?”

Asmodeus scanned his brothers from his left to right. Top to bottom…

“Hey, guys?”

Walking nearer and nearer to the center stage, their lips pouted for a kiss with a wink just before turning their back to the camera.

“Guys!:

“Don’t you spill your nose-blood on my carpet!”
