I was emotional about Danse's gender the other day so I want to talk about it

in my personal headcanon, I do see Danse as a nonbinary man. he's had to keep up this image of being a very "masculine" man his entire life, but there's always been something...off...about it. he's never dwelled on it, because, how can you? when you've got to survive in the wasteland and then be a hard soldier for the Brotherhood? it's always been there though, tossed away in the back of his mind.

until he meets Arty! (who is some flavor of nonbinary, he doesn't label it). Art is not obvious about how he presents/feels about his gender, but he's also open about it if asked. I don't believe Danse finds this out until after blind betrayal, but when he and Art have that conversation, something in Danse's brain seems to click. He doesn't yet know what it is, but it's a quiet realization of "oh, you can do that?" and he ruminates on it for quite some time.

He's dealing with a lot. Finding out he's a synth. Being kicked from the Brotherhood. Figuring out his relationship with Arty. And now having that nagging feeling in the back of his head again, telling him there is something not quite clicking with his identity. After a while, he finally "comes out" to Arty, not being able to deal with the strange feeling anymore.

He knows Art will understand, that's why he came to him, Art is his partner and Danse trusts him, and obviously Art experiences something similar, but... he still overexplains. Mostly because he's Danse, but also because he's nervous to finally admit these feelings, especially out loud for the first time. He tells Art that he's still a man. Sometimes. But sometimes he's something else. Not a woman, but also not a man...something else entirely. Something vague and without a title. That scares him too, not being able to label his feelings. To me, Danse is a very black and white kind of guy, needing to stuff himself into boxes to find comfort in himself. He feels a need to belong to something, to base his identity on that, so this is difficult. The entire thing is difficult, but he feels relieved when he finally gets it off his chest.

Art provides him comfort, of course, reassuring him and thanking Danse for coming to him. He says he understands, completely, and that he's here for Danse if he needs anything, needs to talk more about it or figure things out. Danse is so eternally grateful for his partner.

Art asks if he needs to change anything, if Danse wants him to refer to him differently. In the moment, Danse doesn't know, it's new to him and he's just now getting a feel for how he wants to express this part of him. He just wanted to acknowledge it, to make it known, that's all he asks for. Down the line though, I do think he'd ask to use they/them interchangeably with he/him, and the euphoria he gets from that is like nothing he's experienced before...and he's happy for it.

well… *pushes up glasses* i’m something of a fucking idiot myself 😏

[hearteyedbunny]

i sometimes like characters that fucking suck. when a character is a shit head in just the right way it can be so funny and/or compelling. like this is my beloved character, Asshole The Hater. they suck and i love them. someone dropped them into a ditch on the side of the road and i picked them out of the ditch and put them in my pocket

[hearteyedbunny]

I would love to play fo4 for the game it actually is instead of using it as a doll dress up game and dating Danse simulator. but alas.

I don’t know about you but I think Shane has the best dialogue lines
