I don't mean this in a mean way, I just mean it in an "I'm on the spectrum" way, but: I kind of don't care about plot and characters? Like, I've come to realize I'm way more interested in aesthetics and style? So much of fandom and pop "analysis" seems to be "the rise and fall of this character's journey" or "This easter egg changes the entire multiverse" and I'm way more concerned with the piano doing the tinkly thing while the camera does the whoosh.

LU YU XIAO. Weibo Update (2023).

Have you ever thought just maybe You belong with me?

[you belong with me, taylor swift / zutara]

Looking at all my ships and they’re either boyfriends or husbands. What makes each of them that way? I don’t fucking know

But soapghost are boyfriends and johnshi are married, and that’s all that matters to me

mundialmag The best genre of photographs is Arsène Wenger and Thierry Henry in training.

You ever listen to a song that makes you want to write an entire novel

Loser by Neoni is such a SWK song I’m no longer laughing 😶

I do not like hotels thank you for listening

I can chow down on oysters and sushi and calamari and eat raw button mushrooms as snacks and knock back like 700 olives in one sitting but gun to my head if you're trying to make me eat a piece of chicken out of a frozen microwaved meal I hope you're ready to mop brains up my good bitch it is NOT happening. I will gladly eat cooked blood and organ meats and steaks that are arguably still alive but if there's a liiiiiittle too much filling in a sandwich or a bite of food has aromas in it we are OUT

And finally compressed all these together. My sketchbooks and some doodles

I literally have ridiculous delusional confidence sometimes like I'm genuinely convinced that the beautiful girl who was pulled by the most attractive guy in my workplace has a thing for me. they're literally dating and I'm still convinced. I have no reason to believe she's bisexual

Any headcanons or thoughts you'd like to share about how necrons do or don't conceptualize gender?? Would love to read it 👀

Oh this is my JAM!

In my mind, I do think necrons would have a strong conception of gender and gender identity. Personal identity is such a tenuous thing for even the "sane" necrons. How powerfully they conceive of themselves is functionally the difference between life and death and one’s gender can be an important element in the soup that is The Self.

Imho the clearest example of this is in practice is my queen, my off-page icon, my paranoid mess, Anathrosis. If gender wasn't something that mattered why would she bother transitioning? Zultanekh corrects Oltyx in no uncertain terms when Oltyx accidentally misgenders her, so it’s clearly important (Ignore the wiki, ffs she is just trans it doesn't have to be a big mystery why she goes by Matriarch now)

There are male and female terms for a monarch (Phaeron vs Phaerakh) so it does seem like the necrontyr probably had a binary view of gender that merited different labels for positions of power. However, there doesn't seem to have been much of a hierarchy (at least we’ve seen no evidence of any). I would guess the *framework* for gender identity was mostly inherited from the necrontyr. As the personalities that form the necrons were largely established in flesh-times, and thus created within the structure of necrontyr society and what is gender but socially-constructed performance something something Judith Butler would have a field day with this.

As for what necron/necrontyr gender constructs are…okay is it just me or are female necrons like…super into bloodlust. You’ve got Phillias who will cut you, Xun’bakyr MOTHER OF OBLIVION who flayer cursed so hard she looped back around to sane-ish, Ossuaria and her rivalry with the Kayra that ended in mutual assassination etc. Based on this and other information I am forced to assume necron gender roles break down thusly:

Male: hyperfixations, idiot, gay Female: murder Cryptek: look, they have their own role in society, and their own dimorphism, their own viiiiiiibe tell me cryptek is not a gender, I will fight on this hill (not really. But maybe…)

Where was I…

Oh right. I think those are my big head canons. I love the themes of external acceptance of the internal self and how clearly that maps as a metaphor for gender identity (amongst other things). Female necrons will kill you (and I would consider it a privilege). Even in the grimdarkness of the 41st millennium, we respect people’s pronouns.

everyone send me ***you will get a snow day tomorrow*** viiiiiiibes
