Coming out again, because sometimes that’s important.

Hi. If you know me already, you can skip this first chunk. If you don’t, I’m Ben. I’m a teenage boy from the great midwest. I write, read, play DND and different video games. I like Splatoon and fried rice and fantasy and different futuristic aesthetics. I grew up on dystopian fiction and that’s part of the thing that’s made me so optimistic for a future for people like me. For the minorities, the marginalized, the attacked and abused. We’ve won before and we’ll win again, no matter how long the fight.

I’m a transgender, gay, and asexual boy. It took me a very long time to reach these labels, but now that I have I’m comfortable with them. They may change in the future, but for now, this is who I am.

I came out as bisexual at eight years old. I wasn’t ‘groomed’ into it- I was raised in a straight family with straight grandparents and straight aunts and uncles. None of my neighbors were openly queer and I almost solely consumed straight media. The only reason I was able to figure this out was because I had friends who were already figuring themselves out. The labels they used taught me that there were other options than straight and cis. I was curious and confused and a little hesitant, but that’s normal when you come across things that aren’t common to you. I learned and that was that. I sat down with my mom and told her I was bi and she said “me too.” That was my first realization that people like me were everywhere. We’ve always existed, just maybe not so openly.

I tried different labels and gender identities for years after that. Different pronouns, different names, but nothing quite stuck. Somethings felt better, but nothing felt good. I wrestled with attraction for a while. I’m autistic, and that can cause me to struggle a little with understanding my own feelings. The boys in the area I grew up in were downright cruel, too. I didn’t know any of them that I could possibly be actually attracted to. I was bi, pan, lesbian, aro/ace, pan again- it kept changing. There’s nothing wrong with that. I was testing out labels until I found what felt comfortable and that’s okay. Most self exploration isn’t linear.

And then I grew older and I started meeting boys who actually were decent. Around that time, I was starting to dip closer and closer to he/him pronouns. I was slowly learning that masculinity and boys aren’t inherently evil; the place I was raised in had a strong ‘boys will be boys’ culture. They were expected to be loud and rough and cruel. Then I found boys who wouldn’t make fun of you for your identity or your race or your mental or physical disabilities or simply just for being different. Masculinity isn’t inherently evil and I was allowed to be masculine.

So I let myself try he/him pronouns and a boy’s name and I let myself admit I’m attracted to boys and more masculine people. I still remember how it felt like a weight off my chest when people started using he/him pronouns for me. I started looking at gay ship art and reading gay fiction and once I’d had my fill of projecting myself onto one of those guys, I moved on to just generally queer media. I watched people like me thrive and create and exist exactly as they were.

We were always here, we always will be here. Coming out is one of the scariest queer experiences I can think of, even when it’s just coming out to yourself. But it is worth it, even if you’re the only one who knows. It’s okay to not come out to other people or to only come out to specific people. This is a beautiful, personal part of you and no-one is entitled to it. Never let anyone tell you your identity makes you less deserving of a gorgeous, beautiful, happy life.

What do you think lesbians are attracted to in women that we can’t be attracted to in men?

It can’t be anything about femininity or masculinity obviously. That’s both sexist, and cultural so can’t be what drives woman-only attraction.

It can’t be anything about stated identity because someone could lie just as easily as they could tell the truth in such a statement, and it makes no sense because homosexuality and heterosexuality exists in other species with no stated identities. It’s not like other animals without gender are all pan.

Saying idk it’s the vibes or some indescribable trait women have that men can’t but “I can’t explain” is a nonanswer.

Soooooooo what is it? Or do you think any sexuality but bi/pan is just cultural performance or an identity rather than an inborn orientation?

? i think it’s all just words, anon. sexuality isn’t real- it’s something humans made up. just like gender. an animal can’t really be “homosexual” because that’s a human concept- just like how your dog doesn’t really care what pronouns you call it- it’s not applicable to anything beyond the human psyche.

and people are messy. so no, there’s no real universal definition of “lesbian.” a lesbian is someone who says they are a lesbian. i trust that person to know who they are and why, and i’m not gonna try to say they aren’t because they don’t fit what i think a lesbian is. not to mention, it’s not really my business.

it’s human nature to try to make sense of things- to put people in boxes, so to speak. but queerness is something so ambiguous and fluid that if you try to force it into a concrete definition, it begins to contradict itself.

i’m assuming you’re coming from a good intention here- it sounds to me like this is something you tend to worry about, and i’m glad you wanted to hear my thoughts.

my aunt, who is nonbinary, is a lesbian. she always has been- i was the flower girl at her wedding. a cis woman who is only attracted to women (self-proclaimed identity) may also choose to call herself a lesbian. both people are correct in their definitions of their identities

a lesbian could be attracted to me, a genderfluid person. i’m male sometimes- that wouldn’t make that person any less of a lesbian.

every label is simply a word a person feels is comfortable to describe themselves. my personal favorite is “queer”- my identity is ambiguous and ever-changing- and, of course, strange. ultimately, this is a question with no real answer. everyone thinks what they think about themselves, but identity is so personal and everyone thinks a little differently. we can’t categorize people- i think we tend to forget that the reason we formed this community is because we didn’t fit the definitions of identity.

ultimately: gender is fake, orientation is by extension fake, life is a ball of play doh and if you really want to you can eat it

#ask #anon #marzirants #dunno if this made any sense but. that’s how i feel about all this #thanks for sending me this. i like sharing my thoughts #i think people are as fluid and unrealistic as art #and in art the rules are made to be broken

— and you knew you were tired, but where are your friends tonight? (if i could see all my friends tonight...)

basics.

full name: theodora faith augury nickname: teddy face claim: ella purnell age: 21 gender: cis woman pronouns: she/her sexuality: lesbian hometown: ellsworth, maine birthday: september 12, 2000 zodiac: virgo sun, pisces moon, aquarius rising, libra venus mbti: enfp ennagram: 3w2 positive traits: driven, empathetic, imaginative, intuitive, dreamy, ambitious, kind, willing negative traits: wistful, pretentious, flappable, self-righteous, inattentive, affected, preoccupied, judgmental major: english

more info.

teddy’s the youngest of three. she comes from boredom and suburbia. her parents (a stay at home mom, a dad in a dull, unfulfilling office job) had teddy’s older siblings (will, 27, and lizzy, 26) on purpose, then had teddy five years later on accident. she was named after some long-dead great aunt, or whatever. she’s heard the story a handful of times, never really absorbed it. she’s teddy-of-the-top-bunk. teddy-of-hand-me-downs. teddy-of-perpetual-restlessness. she probably first thought i need to be anywhere but here for the first time one morning before second grade or whatever, when she was masticating her cereal while running her finger over the spine of her library book (fifth-grade reading level, not that it meant much to anybody but her and the librarian.) mundanity was her biggest problem, and she hated that her problems were mundane. she hated what felt like the inherent helplessness that came from everyone in her home being bigger than her and older than her and not listening to her any time that she spoke.

maybe she thought she was better than everyone some of the time, with the way she wanted more and everyone else seemed content with what teddy deemed completely, agonizingly boring and unfulfilling existences. is being unhappy the same thing as being smarter than everyone around you? is constant discontent the price that you pay for having open eyes? she felt (still sometimes feels) like nobody gets it, that nobody understands her, (though of course it’s occasionally occurred to her that maybe she doesn’t understand anybody else.)

she’s grown out of a lot of this now. she’s not so superior anymore, she isn’t twelve. it’s just that she’s stuck on this desperate restlessness, this need to see something, be someone, do something, not that she ever knows exactly what. she loves literature. she wants to make an impact. she’s deeply wistful and pretentious. she’s directionless. she’s kind.

she’ll die if she sits still. she can’t handle the mild suburban discontent. on family holidays, she’d see her mom’s sibling - intelligent, an academic - and convince herself she’d been born on the wrong half of the family as she sat on the floor with her cousin amari and they played legos together while teddy’s mom made the turkey in the kitchen.

teddy kind of always feels out of place, trying to figure out how to inhabit each space she enters, but she’s probably just taking everything too seriously. her room is simple because she’s so focused on how she’ll one day live that she forgets that she’s actively living now. that’s a big problem of hers - she’s always in the future, sometimes in the past, barely ever in the present - except when she’s with romy, who’s always been able to ground her, though admittedly even that relationship is colored by the fact that teddy thinks a secret relationship is so totally literary and romantic, right?

the fire affected teddy deeply, and she didn’t deal with it in a real way. she narrated her traumas and fears in her head like a book, she wrote pages and pages describing the experience, she thought oh, here’s something serious that finally happened to me. here’s something exciting. like the fear only functioned as an interesting back story for her, or something, because she didn’t know how else to deal with it otherwise. still, she decimates her nails by chewing on them when she sees a lit candle. still, she bails on the summer bonfires to ready poetry.

she’s determined. she’s yearning. she romanticizes every aspect of her life, or dramatizes the rest. everything is the biggest deal in the world to teddy. she has this controlling streak to her - writing everything out like it’s a book in her head - but she forces herself to abandon plans and inact spontaneity and do things she’d rather not do simply for the story of it all, because that’s important to her, too.

she wants to experience everything the world has to offer. she’s a little sister. she’s the baby of the group. she’s a little bit annoying. she’s extremely kind and loves her friends more than anything - how remarkable to finally find somewhere you belong after years of belonging exactly nowhere. though in a way she’s extroverted (she loves to go places, do things, spend time with people), she’s always seen herself as this sort of solitary being because she can’t get out of her own head. she’s so convinced that she’s independent by nature, but it’s her friends who pull her back down to reality.

etc.

Last two Pride 2021 HC doodles babey! More info under the cut!

Discotempsunlight

💙 Discord - Genderqueer omni draconequus who uses any pronouns! A literal god of chaos who is still as infatuated with Twilight as he was the first time they met. Still has a mischievous streak but manages to keep her tomfoolery to a minimum. Twi lovingly calls him 'old goat'. Absolutely LOVES attention and will pester its wives for hours for it, gushes whenever it is given affection (LOVES cuddles). Not always the most responsible parent but tries their best anyways. Could care less about pronouns, cause what's gender to a god?

💙 Tempest Shadow/Fizzlepop Berrytwist - Trans demisexual/bi mare who uses She/her! The Commander of Twilight's personal guard, an occasional baker and a fireworks performer. Is partially blind in her right eye from a particularly bad magical outburst after she broke her horn, and was gifted a crystal enhancer on their anniversary to help channel her magic better. Sugar Belle's older sister, and the aunt to her many kids with Party Favor, Night Glider and Double Diamond. Holds some disdain for Starlight after what she put her sister through. A very calm and gentle mother, and is even more so as a partner despite her rough exterior

💙 Princess Twilight Sparkle - Nonbinary bisexual/demiromantic alicorn who mainly uses She/her and They/them! A chubby lunacorn royal alicorn princess who is still as short as she was pre-ascension, apparently seems to has a type for reformed villains. Sometimes has a crisis at the fact that she's already a grandmother (Spike, who she practically raised as a son, has 3 kids with Thorax), but loves her half-dragon-half-changeling grandbabies to pieces regardless. Doesn't rule Equestria and focuses mainly on her school and raising her kids. Has anxiety and OCD but manages to cope with help from her partners and friends/family :]

💙 Sunset Shimmer - Cis bi mare who uses She/her! Sunburst's older sister (and maybe even Fire Flare's sister?) and a previous student of Queen Celestia before she ran away, returned to Equestria with the help of Twilight to reunite with her family and friends. Her and Twi can go on for hours about fun facts and stuff, while their partners fondly watch from afar. Is only really involved with Twi and Tempest but is known to give Discord a peck on occasion. Is probably some kind of computer technician

RollingVaporDust

💙 Rolling Thunder - Bigender lesbian mare who uses any pronouns! Thunderlane and Rumble's older cousin, still loves to tease them to this day. An inch or so shorter than Vapor, loves calling Lightning 'short-stuff' since she's the shortest out of the three of them. Rolling and Lightning love competing with each other and its probably how they started courting (hell, they still compete to this day just to put on a show for Vapor). Btw their cutiemark isn't shown in the show so I made a really quick one for them; a warning/hazard sign surrounded by lightning bolts.

💙 Lightning Dust - Nonbinary demiromantic lesbian mare who mainly uses She/her and He/him! Met Rolling via the Washouts and the two hit it off, having a passionate rivalry that eventually morphed into genuine love. First saw Vapor when she was doing some Wonderbolt training (maybe Lightning was sneaking some glances at his old workplace) and kinda fell in love with her after that. Still has a dislike/hatecrush for Rainbow Dash. He and Rolling get most of their scars from their over-the-top (and frankly extremely dangerous) Washout stunts, and it's a miracle that neither of them have lost a leg/wing because of it.

💙 Vapor Trail - Trans sapphic mare who uses She/her! Is still best friends with Sky Stinger, and the two had previously dated at some point before deciding to just stay friends (he's with Short Fuse and Thunderlane in Oresteiaverse if you're curious!) A very warm and loving wife (whenever she calls her partners 'sweetie' or 'honey' these fuckin butches MELT), and an especially affectionate mother to the trio's own trio of kids. Is absolutely a mother hen whenever either of her partners are injured

Relevant question again, could you maybe tell me a bit about the perception of same sex relationships (also, how it differs between male and female) in Uspania, both at the current canon time and if and how it changes up to the modern time?

For example, what is the legal situation? If there are laws against it, are those being enforced?

And what about social stigmata?

ugh, this is a great question ! i rambled a LOT, there’s a whole tangent about babies and adoption, i am not an expert on anything at all, but here’s what i came up with:

similar to the question about women’s rights, the general gist is that same sex relationships are afforded the same legal rights and protections as hetero relationships by default, and the ?? epistemological starting place is different because of certain cultural aspects like gender norms, understandings of sexuality, the spectrum of gender identity, etc. i think heterosexuality has a normative place in society in general (and this is something i can imagine changing throughout the twentieth century), but homosexuality doesn’t have the historically negative connotations you might expect. traditionally, there’s no discourse of deviancy or abnormality or whatever else; same sex relationships have always been acknowledged and accepted. there are same sex relationships in uspana’s popular history and its general mythology.

i am taking my first gender studies class ever this semester so take this with a grain of salt but partially, i think the lack of stigma is because women aren’t seen as inferior property to be possessed, masculinity isn’t dependent on having that relationship to women, and the structure of family is this larger and more flexible emphasis on clan rather than a nuclear family reliant on the ~one women + one man~ formula. so, your gay uncle and lesbian aunt can be productive members of the family, their partners can be incorporated through legal and/or spiritual marriage, and they can legitimately adopt children into the clan and/or be caregivers for relatives’ children. uspanians have gender roles for people considered “men” or women,” yes, but the role of sexuality isn’t so restrictive. and, really, they have gender roles for people who aren’t men or women, too (so, that shapes the lack of, idk, binary thinking about attraction and the fluidity of masculine/feminine categories, i guess).

there is still traditionally a greater emphasis placed on “blood” relationships that could be discriminatory? like, the most obvious problem is that a woman might be considered a member of a clan through marriage, but becoming a clan mother is tied to understandings of motherhood that are heteronormative and “biological” since it’s a position most people associate with descent or childbirth. i think the way it plays out in these cases varies from family to family, though. there are priest-type figures who think about these questions, but i don’t think they have the authority of jurists and scholars in other religious systems. so, say ana from my previous textbook example married another cis woman; her wife may not be eligible to become a clan mother in ana’s clan because they wouldn’t have a biological child. they might consult the local priest person, but ultimately it’d depend on the consensus of the current clan mothers. adoption is a 1:1 substitute, but the real issue is for women who don’t want children regardless of their sexual orientation. you know the crotchety old lady that calls her daughter selfish for not wanting kids? maybe she’s the decision maker in someone’s clan. i think this is something that evolves over time; women’s rights are more advanced in uspana circa the 1920s, but they still have some norms to fight against ! distancing familial belonging from literal motherhood is something i can see being a project of the subsequent decades. i think the royals and nobility have historically been more keen on biological inheritance, partially because of the political value of children, but adoption is such an ancient practice that there’s no legal preference between the two when it comes to inheritance law. ex 1: velasco isn’t married because he doesn’t want to be, not because zuriñe and fernando weren’t trying to find eligible bachelors for him. ex 2: mateo and johan had their children via surrogates, and it doesn’t really matter to anyone. BUT I DIGRESS. there’s not really an institutional parallel for men that i can think of ... i guess they could face the same social pressure to have biological children, but no one’s penalizing them for being attracted to other men either.

anyway, it’s possible that some uspanians might be influenced by the perspectives of other countries, although i don’t really want to entertain that without a specific example. but, in the same way that we see the imposition of colonial constructions of homophobia in the real world, who knows what conversations might take place at the behest of other powers’ ideas of “modernity” and “morality.” there could also be religious minorities who have a different perspective—maybe an evangelical christian community i don’t know about—idk !

#this family tree needs more representation smh ...#anyway here's this :^)#i guess i alluded to some of in the last ask of this sort #there's probably more i didn't think to say #but anyway #i remembered to put it under a readmore just for u other anon #reyes.worldbuilding

hoooooowdy 🤠 i’m peach ( 20, she/her ) and i... am very excited to have found this rp ————— everything about it truly is my shit™. soooooooo i bring to you, wyatt hawkes : voted most likely to be the killer.

also forgot to add that my dscord is boooOoOoOoooo(bies)#0085 if you prefer plotting over there !!

wanted connections tag.

wanted connections page.

WARNING ... mentions of death ( murder ) and generally dark themes below.

[ cis woman, she/her, zendaya, twenty-one ] i can’t be sure, but i think i just saw WYATT HAWKES drive onto the parkway. don’t they know we’re not supposed to be driving on that haunted road right now? maybe it has to do with the fact that they’re so +PATIENT and -DISTANT that makes them feel ANXIOUS about everything going on. i guess we could also chalk it up to the fact that they’re always reminding me of KEEPING EARPHONES IN AT ALL TIMES, JUST WANTING THE DAY TO BE OVER ALREADY, DARK ABSTRACT PAINTINGS. either way, i hope they get back safely.

file,

full name, winona paige hawkes.

(preferred) nickname, wyatt.

age, 21 years old.

gender & pronouns, cis woman & she/her.

sexuality, lesbian.

backstory,

-ˏˋ born in an unknown city under unknown circumstances. no one really knows when she showed up but as the story goes, she was left on the staircase of an adoption center.

-ˏˋ childhood isn’t anything special. she goes to school, gets picked on for being quiet and not socializing with her classmates like everyone else does. these comments don’t really bother her a whole lot. she gets used to ignoring them. though, what she can’t ignore is the fact that she feels out of place here. like she doesn’t belong. she keeps these feelings to herself so as to not hurt the feelings of her parents.

-ˏˋ adolescence is when she finds a letter addressed to her in the closet floor of her parents’ bedroom. it was from “aunt lily” and basically spilled all the beans. the letter explained how wyatt was taken from her biological parents by their neighbours and taken to two cities over to be raised as their own. it also explained how her biological family were feared serial killers who recently, themselves, got murdered. the authorities in their city are not looking into what happened to them and though it’s not spoken, people think the murderers of her biological family are heroes for doing so.

-ˏˋ wyatt wasn’t entirely sure how to feel. her mother walked in to see the letter in her hand and you could just tell her heart sank. her mother apologized for lying and said that they saved her from her biological family. wyatt believed it, though that didn’t stop the curiosity of what happened to them. despite her mother’s pleas not to go, wyatt packed her things and took her 3 best friends to her birth town where lily is.

-ˏˋ it took a few hours to locate her but once they did, they would realize what a mistake they had made going. lily forced them to go to the house and see the bodies of her family. it turned out that she, too, was a serial killer who tried to trap them all in that house. luckily, 4 against 1 was an easy win and by sunrise, they got out with minor injuries. or so they thought. one of her best friends, jaime, had gotten a fatal wound to the side of her stomach that she would pass away from in the hospital later that night. that was enough for wyatt to regret ever asking them to go with her. once they got back to town, the friend group was rather distant for a while and wyatt was all alone once again.

-ˏˋ the worst part, she thinks, is the fact that she never got any kind of answers on the trip. in fact, she wasn’t even sure what exactly she was looking for.

-ˏˋ present day, wyatt works as a waitress at dana’s diner and lives in a small home with her golden retriever puppy, remy. she’s quiet and tends to get bullied a lot, tbh? she has a few close friends who she loves dearly and also has a few people who greatly dislike her for the sheer fact of who her biological family are and the recent happenings.

other,

she was raised in reed.

everyone in town, or most people anyway, knows about wyatt’s birth parents and what happened while she was trying to find them.

listen............... she’s suspish but wyatt would genuinely never hurt as much as a fly. and she’s actually really upset that people suspect she’s the one who’s doing the killings

she’s also anxious about the killings for this reason —— that some blame her. she just wants it to stop so she can go back to being in her own little bubble without the cold stares of strangers.

also !!! she’s a family friend of the parker’s !! despite them being complete opposites, she actually considered nathaniel to be one of her best friends.

Marvel Gender Headcanons

because i doubt some of these people are cis

Peter:

i claim this man for the trans community

he realised he was trans at around present time (15-16 years old)

he knows his family and friends will accept him

he’s still N E R V O U S

but he still wants to be true to his identity

so he wears the trans flag colours!!

Ned obvs catches on, but doesn’t say anything

Tony’s the first one Peter comes out to, bc i’m soft and irondad owns my heart

Tony gets him a spider suit with a binder built in

Peter is absolutely the kind of trans guy who forgets to take off his binder (i’m not projecting what do you mean)

he comes out to his aunt May next, and she breaks out the scissors

the other eventually figure it out, and they accept him immediately

Peter: Hey Clint?

Clint: Yo

Peter: I’m trans

Clint: *takes a gulp of his soda* wig

Peter: ???

they love him though let’s be real

Natasha Punches A Transphobe

someone calls Peter a tr*nny

Natasha sends them on a one way trip to space :)

Peter absolutely decides to go on T

and he is a handsome!! boy!!

he eventually tells Ned and MJ, and they accept him too

Ned buys him a trans flag

NED BUYS HIM A TRANS FLAG

by the time they’re graduating high school, Peter passes as cis very well

Tony:

i’m claiming Tony as trans too

i promise there’s other gender identities here jdsfhkhsdfkjh

Tony came out in the 80s of all times

we know Howard

it didn’t go over well

Maria didn’t say much about it, but Howard was actively against it

Tony didn’t care at all

he literally snuck out and got a fake ID so he could start on T

Tony was almost 18 at that point, but he still used Howard’s money

just to piss him off

well Howard ended up dying like 3 years later

Maria survived because fuck you

but Tony never ended up getting any surgeries because he ended up getting busy with the company

he just didn’t have time, with all the recovery that goes into it

he’s still on T though!!

mans has tiddies and a beard, the boomers get confused

he tends to keep it more private though

Pepper knows, how could she not?

Pepper is the sole reason Tony survived to adulthood lbr

Peter found out accidentally

Tony got oil on a shirt while fixing one of his machines, and Peter walked in while he had it off

he saw the binder and boyyy was that a surprise

but it totally explained how Tony already knew so much about supporting Peter in his transition

the problem with being an ADHD workaholic??

hyperfocusing

when Tony hyperfocuses, he forgets to take off his binder

Jarvis: Sir, you need to take off your binder

Tony: Gimme like five more minutes, I need to finish this

Jarvis: Sir, it’s been 38 hours??

Tony: *already moving onto the next task* What’s your point?

his ribs are so fucked

Pepper and Peter remind him too

my boy is a mess

Thor:

this is solely because my nb loml claimed thor as nb and it’s super fucking valid

i love you babe 🥺

so Thor learned about different genders from Loki

and also from Peter tbh

but Thor LOVED the idea of being in between

it just made him really happy!!

he started using those labels a lot, even though he didn’t know much about what they meant

being on Earth more, he started to learn more about them

mostly because they replaced cops at pride (Peter’s idea)

so Thor decided to learn more

he knew he liked boys, that wasn’t uncommon on Asgard

gender expression was very open, but that blurred the lines a lot for him

when he got to non-binary, it clicked

“oh that sounds like me”

“THATS ME”

he was excited he’d figured it out

his immediate instinct?

he went to tell Loki

the only problem was Loki was asleep

“LOKI LOKI LOKI-”

“what do you wANT-”

“I’M NON-LIBRARY!!”

“WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN-”

it took like ten minutes for Loki to figure out what he meant

Loki was tired give him a break

he just kinda pushed Thor’s face away and went back to sleep

they talked about it again in the morning

after Loki got some coffee he was more receptive

“I accept you, just please stop waking me up at 2 am”

Thor’s just trying his best

he doesn’t know how to be non-binary though

(there is no right way to be enby though)

so Loki tried a few example sentences using they/them pronouns

Thor LOVED it

so now Thor wanted to use they/them pronouns

Loki isn’t a brain cell by any means

but he sure feels like one sometimes

and he’s tired of it

ANYWAYS

Thor announced it to everyone they saw

some people heard it multiple times

“GUYS I’M NON-BINARY!! :D”

they were happy for their thude

and Thor wore an enby flag to their first pride!!

now the protector of the lesbians says non-library rights

Loki:

Loki basically always knew he was genderfluid

it just seemed really obvious to him?

he realised he wasn’t cis when he was 7

he transformed into a girl for fun

and she was like “oh i like this-”

so she experimented with that

and she fucking loved all of them

so she turned back into a boy and went to Frigga

that’s how he found out about the word genderfluid

so he basically just grew up shapeshifting as much as he wanted

when they eventually went to earth, Loki couldn’t shapeshift as much

after he was redeemed, he still needed to be recognisable so they wouldn’t think he was to pull a fast one on them

he was uncomfy

Loki stays in his room a lot

he just really doesn’t wanna deal with it

he still shapeshifts in private!

Thor ends up being the one to catch on

but he kinda knows that Loki won’t talk to him

so he sends in the spider child!

Loki and Peter have a pretty close bond

so on one of the nights they hang out, it’s a she/her day

and Loki just kinda snapped and went on a bit of a rant

and she ended up coming out to Peter

Loki totally didn’t end up crying what do you mean

she just needs a hug

obvs Peter was accepting

he gave her that hug don’t worry

this was all on a rooftop eating bad street food jhshkfhjfkhkd

he did ask if he could tell the others, and Loki reluctantly agreed

yeah, the others felt kinda bad

so they ended up compromising!!

Loki could shapeshift, but not into other people

and she could wear whatever she wanted

they also gave her bracelets so she could express her pronouns

its a long road

and it takes a long time to build trust

but Loki really does appreciate Thor and Peter’s efforts

Bucky:

trans enby rights. send tweet

let’s jump back to 1930s

Bucky was transitioning before the war

he had the surgeries and was on T

Steve was the only one who really knew

it was right when HRT was starting to become a thing

he was one of the first people to try it

and it worked pretty well!

Bucky passed easily after ~2 years on T

but then he died

RIP Bucky :(

when he comes back as a Hydra agent, they use T supplements to make his body stronger

“Jokes on you, I like that shit”

yeah no the others end up rescuing him from there

but Bucky still takes T

everyone is a bit worried about it

they think he’s still under Hydra’s control

Steve has to explain it (with Bucky’s permission)

but Bucky really starts feeling a disconnect with being a male

it’s mostly due to the trauma from Hydra

he knows he’s not a girl anymore

but he hates the idea of being a boy now

so he has no idea what he is

he ends up drawing the parallel between himself and Thor

but Bucky still sees some masculinity in Thor, which confuses him a LOT

Bucky’s always confused lbr

so he ends up finding the term Agender

and he understands it!! and likes it!!

he’s too nervous to tell the others, so he writes sentences using they/them pronouns

“Their name is Bucky Barnes”

“Bucky is tired, they need a nap”

“Bucky’s best friend is Steve. They’ve known Steve since the beginning”

Bucky is WAY happier with they/them pronouns

the problem is they don’t know how to communicate that

even to Steve, they’re just nervous

Steve ends up finding the paper, which now has over 100 sentences

so the next time they’re alone, Steve brings it up, and after a little bit of avoiding answering, Bucky tells him about it

Steve is super accepting 🥺

“Do you want me to tell the others for you?”

“Yes please, I have no idea what I’m doing-”

“I don’t think any of us do”

so Steve lets the others know, and they start using they/them pronouns

Bucky’s IMMEDIATELY so much happier

i just think they’re neat-

MJ:

MJ isn’t cis, fuck you

MJ is a demigirl

and no one even figured it out for the longest time

she kinda groups herself on the more non-binary side

Peter finds out because someone calls her by they/them pronouns

“MJ?? Are you?? Non-binary??”

“Nope”

“Are you still a girl??”

“Nope”

after like 20 mins Peter figures it out

and boy is he confused

“Why didn’t you just say it?”

“I couldn’t. Gotta keep ‘em on their toes”

“Who??”

“:)”

the M in MJ stands for mystery

anyways!!

she switches from lesbian to the term Trixic (NBLW)

MJ goes to pride with Peter and Ned that year

MJ gets a girlfriend there!!

she comes out to her girlfriend upfront. she doesn’t feel like waiting

yeah she gets intense

she gets it from her moms

who can blame her

MJ sometimes wears a binder

she wore one on the first day of school, because Peter was nervous about being out (he’d come out over the summer)

MJ will punch transphobes and homophobes

even just for fun tbh

but she won’t do it immediately

she heard someone make a comment about Ned and his boyfriend and waited a few days

and then came out of nowhere

B O N K

the douchebag kinda knew why though

in conclusion, MJ is elite

{ cisgender woman, she/her } ❝ I'm a juvenile product of the working class / whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass ❞ huh, who’s FIVEL STEWART? no, you’re mistaken, that’s actually MOLLY WEASLEY II. she is a 24 year old HALFBLOOD witch who is a CHASER FOR PUDDLEMERE UNITED. she is known for being FLIGHTY, IMPULSIVE, DISORGANIZED, FORGETFUL, and REBELLIOUS but also TRUSTING, DEDICATED, VIBRANT, ADAPTABLE, and INDEPENDENT, so that must be why she always reminds me of the song GLAZIN’ - JACUZZI BOYS and ROLLER SKATING DOWN A STEEP INCLINE, FOREHEAD KISSES, AN OUT-OF-TUNE ACOUSTIC GUITAR, AN UNMADE BED WITH LOTS OF PILLOWS, CHERRY LIMEADE SLUSHIES, PUTTING ON YOUR FAVORITE SWEATSHIRT. i hear she is aligned with THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX so be sure to keep an eye on her.

BIO

Molly Adelaide Weasley was born into a (relatively) peaceful world but adopted into an ever-growing and infinitely chaotic family - and her father, having had a near-catastrophic falling out with this family in favor of furthering his career, made it CLEAR to her that her status as a Weasley was to be cherished, not derided, never forgone for more ambitious aims. Percy, sometimes rigid, though always loving, threw this lesson in familial love along with his more practical teachings.

Her first real sentence was “Molly do it!”, which was put to excessive use as a toddler. Doing the laundry? “Molly do it!” Her father’s bent over a stack of paperwork with a next-day deadline? Molly’s rushing over to help with a fat, color-changing crayon in hand: “Molly do it!” When Audrey was ill with a stomach bug, Lucy happened upon her sister, barely even three, mashing a ginger root with the handle of Mama’s wand in an attempt to make ginger biscuits. In short, Molly has always been headstrong and maternal. She takes a lot of pride in the traits that she shares with her namesake, her wonderful Gran, but regrettably never learned to knit.

Molly arrived at Hogwarts with a gaggle of cousins who’d already set the tone for who the Weasleys were and how they behaved. She found it difficult to find a life and identity outside of them - and still worries that she’s just another face in the family, unimportant compared to their accomplishments and accolades. Her time in Hufflepuff house passed without any prefect badges, school awards, or major academic achievements — even her five-year stint on the house Quidditch team was marred by the fact that she was always playing against some cousin or close family friend.

Life after Hogwarts has treated Molly well — she’s played professional Quidditch since age 18, something that she still can’t quite believe has happened. She was a reserve Chaser for the Kenmore Kestrels until 2027, when she was offered a contract by Puddlemere United. She took it, because wow that’s a lot of galleons, but Puddlemere’s always had a reputation for producing a lot of (painfully) straight-laced and by-the-book players………..which Molly definitely is not. She’s not allowed to speak at press conferences anymore due to PU’s management dubbing her “a PR nightmare” and “too foul-mouthed for a Dementor to want to Kiss”.

(TW DEATH MENTION) Memories of Uncle Harry pop up nearly every day - his voice, his rough hands positioning her arms and shoulders in a proper dueling stance, the smudges on his glasses, the way he looked at Aunt Ginny like she hung the moon in the sky. She misses him, dearly, but feels selfish and silly for doing so - she wasn’t his kid, and there are so many people who looked to Harry Potter as a symbol for the hope that carried them through wartime. She often worries that she isn’t doing enough - not enough to support her cousins, not enough for the muggleborns she knows and those she does not. There are days in which her inadequacy threatens to swallow her whole, when her hands tremble and breath rattles in her chest - but she’s able to bite it back for the moment. There’s bigger things ahead. (END TW).

PERSONALITY

okay so i always describe molly as a “disaster lesbian” or “chaotic dumbass” and i mean that with a lot of affection. she’s just very much motivated by pleasure and by fun, and much less motivated by duty or responsibility. she wants to stand out in both good and bad ways and more often achieves that in bad ways. she is also, like i mentioned, very headstrong. i consider her one of my funniest characters and that’s mostly unintentional because she just. says whatever pops into her head. i regularly giggle at what i make molly say. i am not ashamed of this.

uhhhh. what else? she’s a big old jock, one of those heinous people who for the most part actually enjoys exercising! will definitely ask you to join her on a sunrise run because she’s Ridiculous

loves her family so so so much, even though there’s at least 3 group chats where she’s currently trashing a cousin or two. is very down to take part in harmless pranks and shenanigans. someone outside the family tries to trash the cousins tho?!?!?! lmao kill bill sirens immediately go off. she and lucy probably call themselves twins bc they’re not blood-related but they are almost always on the same wavelength and in my eyes (jane u can confirm this for me) just get each other on a very fundamental level.

huge fuckin’ aries energy. you can find some personality assessments below:

zodiac.

aries (sun)

“aries is an active, energetic sign. people with sun in aries are direct, straightforward, and uncomplicated. they expect the same from others, and are baffled when they don’t always get it.”

gemini (moon)

“nervousness and worry are common traits with this lunar position. An underlying restlessness is common, and many lunar geminis need more stimulation than others. they usually read a lot, talk a lot, and think a lot.”

mbti. esfj (the consul)

+ strong practical skills, strong sense of duty, sensitive and warm, connects well with others

- inflexible, vulnerable to criticism, reluctant to improvise, needy, worries about social status

Hello it is 10am on a Tuesday and I’d like to come out swinging in favour of replacing “coming out” with “disclosing” in much of ur everyday vocabulary

For me personally, “coming out” was an initial first step that was for friends and family. It implies to me that I was actively closeted from a person I knew (which I was, even though I never explicitly lied and said I was straight), and then decided to Not Do That. I will acknowledge from the outset that not everyone feels that same connotation, but I do think that it’s not uncommon.

As someone who has been open about my sexuality for seven odd years now, saying things like “I came out to my new boss” really a) makes it feel like a give more of a shit about what my boss thinks than I do and b) makes it sound like I was hiding from my boss when in truth she saw I had long hair and just assumed I was straight. In cases like this, “I disclosed to my boss that I am a lesbian” feels like a better description of what actually happened.

For me, it also makes it easier to explain situations like “I felt the need to disclose to my boss that I was queer before she got too deep into her rabbit hole about biological essentialism*, and she has been very cautious around me ever since”. It puts the emphasis on my identity, and not the disclosure/coming out. Also, it feels a lot less loaded to say, for example, “I don’t feel comfortable disclosing my sexuality to my aunt” compared to “I’m not comfortable coming out to my aunt”.

I’ve also found this makes a lot more sense when talking about trans people who have been presenting as their correct gender for a while. If I have a friend who transitioned before I met them, and I just assumed they were cis, “my friend disclosed to me that he is trans” is a lot clearer.

Also also, I’ve found this makes talking about public figures a lot easier. “[Public figure] has not publicly disclosed that they are queer” can be an objectively true statement in a way “[public figure] isn’t out” isn’t, and is (imho) a lot less cumbersome than the alternative “[public figure] is either cishet or hasn’t come out publicly/on social media yet”. And again, this public figure doesn’t know me/us, so them “coming out” to me personally feels like too intimate a turn of phrase.

Finally, I think this is also useful for talking about things that are not about being queer! “I will generally disclose to my students that I have ADHD” or “I disclosed to my colleague that I take mood stabilising medication” or “my friend disclosed that she is not white but white-passing” or “my friend usually doesn’t like to disclose that they are a Muslim or a refugee” or “my friend disclosed to me that she has multiple partners” are all clear and direct without anyone getting into fisticuffs about which communities “coming out” applies to. And yes, as distasteful as it is, even something like “I disclosed to my niece that I voted for One Nation and now she’s not speaking to me” sits better with me than some bullshit about “coming out” as conservative.

I certainly am not advocating removing “coming out” from the common parlance entirely. But I do appreciate an Accuracy Of Language To Faciliate Clear Communication and I have found this is a useful device for that

(*an actual thing that happening in a writer’s meeting I was in once which, like, ffs dude)

#it me #hello i have a soapbox for today lmao #coming out

⧼ banita sandhu, cis female, she/her / “heads will roll” by yeah yeah yeahs + the aroma of garlic spilling out from the curry joint that you walk past on the way home from the ministry that doesn’t smell like your dads’ kitchen but still sets your mouth watering with a hunger insatiable that you must walk away from empty, empty, empty; the heartbeat tattoo of bare feet as you move through your mudras in the dark, a goddess of shadow, a creature of the night; the mirror that you stupidly brought across the atlantic and have subsequently left to gather dust among the unpacked boxes in your ground-floor apartment because you know when you look, you won’t know any better whether you like who you are, forever. ⧽ ━━ hey, isn’t that POONKODI “KODI” ADALARASU? i read a daily prophet article on them, once ; the TWENTY-SEVEN year old muggleborn WITCH & VAMPIRE is an ILVERMORNY alumnus who has gone on to be an AUROR. i’ve heard she can be quite SCINTILLATING & UNFLINCHING, but i don’t know… she came off very RASH & EMBITTERED in that interview. it really is hard to know what to believe these days though, isn’t it?

BIOGRAPHY

[Triggering subjects in backstory include references to suicide, blood, violence, death.]

Kodi was a much-loved, much-wanted child. She had two dads, both Indian-American, one a Tamil classical dancer from a whole line of dancers and one a Punjabi art therapist. Her biological mother is her fathers’ best friend, a classical dancer of Punjabi descent. She played the role of a quirky aunt in Kodi’s life; Kodi called her by first name. Largely, she was raised by a village of multicultural artsy queer people who encouraged unconventionality in her. Precocious and bright, Kodi had an unwavering sense of justice and purpose from an early age that often set her at odds with her more free-wheeling little community. She was a charming child but sometimes unnervingly serious for her age. While she was a skillful Bharatanatyam dancer, she never wanted to be an artist. She always wanted to be a hero.

When she learned about her magic and what that could mean for her future, she had to make a decision. The strict division between No-Maj and wix in the United States meant that she was encouraged not to tell her parents that she was a witch. She thought that they would love to know about the existence of magic, but she wanted something to be her own for once. She wanted something to be her secret. She didn't think they could keep it secret at all. They’d probably do performance art about the role of magic in society or something. In the end, she decided to lie, not knowing that as the years went on, the lies would only grow. So her parents believed she had been accepted to a prestigious boarding school for gifted children, and in fact, she had: Ilvermorny in Massachusetts. She was a smash hit at Ilvermorny with dozens of friends, good at anything she really poured her heart into, which was mostly anything that had to do with fighting Dark wix. She decided from the day that she met her favorite professor that she would be an Auror like she once was, and she worked towards this with great purpose, networking as best as she could as a No-Maj-born.

Her efforts paid off: right out of school, she was offered a position in Washington, DC with the Auror Division there. She maintained to her dads that she was a cop, which disappointed them deeply, but she decided she had grown past what her fathers thought. She knew what the world was now, and she was going to make it a better place. For a good solid stretch from seventeen to twenty-five, she was kicking ass and taking names. She had a sharp eye and great fighting instincts, and her rise through the Division was suitably meteoric. Her personal life was a bit of a disaster, however, with a string of girlfriends that she messily dumped when they got in the way of her career. She grew more and more estranged from her parents.

As she proved herself, her case-load grew more intense and more dangerous. She became especially known for taking on lengthy assignments that required travel. On one mission that took her into the Blue Ridge Mountains to investigate an illegal potions ring, she was attacked by a vampire. She thought that she would bleed to death, but instead, horribly, she lived, or at least became undead. Kodi, who had been born without knowing she was a witch but had fallen in love with the wonder of magic, had crossed over into the Dark. When she first came to consciousness, she was in the bowels of the Division’s Virginia building, sometime past midnight, and they were asking her what they should do, what they should tell her parents.

She swallowed with a click, intensely aware of why her throat was dry and why her teeth ached. She said, “Tell them I’m dead.”

She recuperated for a long time in a special ward in the largest wixen hospital in the country. She had a lot from which to recover and a lot to which she had to become accustomed. For weeks, her magic sputtered and failed. Even when it returned to her, the magic felt different--but at least it had returned. She was still magic. Eventually, Kodi grew restless. She took the remainder of the year off to travel the world and find herself, or more accurately, her new people. Along with sundry other beings, she met vampires who were loving their countless years and vampires who seemed to be looking to get staked as fast as possible. Kodi had a bad feeling she knew where she fit in that spectrum, and yet she had come too far now to give it all up.

Thus after her prolonged absence, she returned to the DC office, changed within and without. Everywhere she looked, she felt hunted. She could still feel the teeth in the back of her neck. Her old colleagues couldn’t figure out whether to show her sympathy or give her space, but she could feel how their eyes followed her around the room. She could sense the animal fear in them because even when she drank from covered pouches, a little blood would always stain her mouth. Kodi had been raised to be proud of who she was. She was spoiled with love and opportunity. At times, people accused her of overconfidence (though she would call herself cocky but competent). Now, though, Kodi hated herself.

She needed a way out. Always with an ear to the ground, she heard rumblings from across the ocean about a push for beings’ rights from the Ministry under Shacklebolt. Kodi sensed opportunity. She made a visit to the British Ministry, pressed some flesh, passed around her resume, and without too much effort--her superiors in DC had been eager, lately, to see the back of her--she secured herself a position within the Auror Office.

She accepted the job offer before the Warbeck benefit disaster and...made the decision not to back out of it. She went ahead and rented that dark little near-underground flat she’d picked out and called up those people she’d met on her first go-around. It was time to start her new life.

Kodi endeavors not to have regrets about anything, as she figures she should get into the habit of that if the alternative is living far too many decades, even centuries of regrets. But she can admit that even if werewolves aren’t exactly her natural allies, the environment in Britain for all magical beings is tenser than ever. She feels out of place for so many reasons. She’s American, she’s “Muggleborn,” she’s not even human anymore. Still, she’s great at making conversation, making friends, and making trouble. Kodi works into the night and parties for what’s left of it, dancing til she should be sweating, trying not to flash her fangs when she laughs. Yet her past is a heavy thing; she can’t cast off the burden of it. Every time she tries to move forward, her future feels more fraught, another roadblock rising up in front of her.

It’s a bad time to be here. She’s trying to have a good time anyway.

FUN FACTS

yes her middle name is actually ‘rainbow hearts’ bc she is a product of her dads’ beautiful gay love. she has a real love/hate relationship to it because admittedly she does love being second-generation gay. if she tells someone her middle name or lets them call her by her full first name, you know it’s real.

she was vegan before she was turned. she’s had some confusing ethical debates about blood-drinking and maintains that she is still vegan (she avoids animal products and only drinks from consenting humans or blood donations).

the legality of her using a wand in britain due to the wand ban (clause three of the code of wand use) is tricky and she’s hoping that continues to be hand-waved. her prepared argument is that she is a human with a condition, same as lycanthropes.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

professional - she’s a workaholic! her ministry coworkers are half her social circle! maybe someone a lil nervous about her sipping blood out of a juicebox in the breakroom? personal - friends & flings. neighbors. people she’s punched. new gf. w/e! past - she’s traveled and met all kinds of people, wix and creatures alike. reunion time? ORDER ! - she could be a real asset to the order, as she is an experienced auror and also a vampire. i’m looking for someone to recruit her, since she is currently a civilian!

PLAYED CONNECTIONS

alicia spinnet - hooked up after a queer wix speed-dating thing and before the big ministry gala

dudley dursley - bonding over non-magical backgrounds and kodi making fun of dudley mercilessly. ministry coworkers

heather pettigrew - always butting heads as private investigator and auror.
