I keep seeing posts of people saying that a term transphobes stole and are using incorrectly to be transphobes is a Horrible Transphobic Term and Anyone who uses it is transphobic and it's Not Real and Entirely Not True when it's literally an actual anthropological term that has studies about it and is actually very useful for Everyone to think about, cis and trans, and be critical of. I hate seeing people respond to dumb hate by entirely writing off everything even remotely connected to the twisted shit bigots use when the shit the bigots are stealing and twisting is still like... a thing?
#how are assigned genders a thing but 'i was raised as a girl and im trans' isnt ?#like thats what socialization is. i was raised as my assigned gender#its not something that i Am. im not Female Socialized. i was [past tense] raised as a girl#and so raised with certain biases that i cant even put into words cuz they are subtle. but still are something i am learning to be watchful#of and shit?#but guess what? i have spent more of my conscious life being socialized as a man since i came out at 14.#socialization is literally just the way others treat you based on perceived social categories like gender#and obviously not everyone was socialized the same ?? its not smth that applies to everyone at all ??#so if it doesnt apply to you then just... dont use it!#but it can be useful for some people sometimes#and its useful for cis people too!!#a cis woman can remind herself that she was raised encouraged to take up less space and so move to counteract that#like fuck idk. i see posts like 'im on the train and a family is across from me#and the little boys are playing and shit but the little girl is being told 'you cant sit like that because youre wearing a skirt'#so she isnt able to play as roudy as her brothers because shes wearing a skirt and certain 'manners' comes with that“#like. THATS socialization its just a bunch of little stuff like that#a cis man can remind himself that he is allowed to express emotions and be vulnerable even after being raised being told that#'boys dont cry' etc like. idk its a very subtle thing and its just messy and cultural and social#and not easy to describe or study#but there are studies of adult participants asked to play with toddlers#in a room of toys. and they encourage toddlers in dresses to play with dolls and toddlers in overalls to play with trucks#and were told afterwards that the toddlers names and clothing was 'switched'#so these adults who thought they were so open minded realized how biased they still were etc etc etc#its super super subtle shit#'i was bullied for being queer' does not mean you were never socialized ? like. that in itself is socialization#and socialization is a term useful for more than just gender and shit id say. like i was sorta raised in a certain culture#and thats the socialization im accustomed to. and so now as i reconnect to a different culture and enter these social spaces#im.learning a different way to present and go about things#idk idk idk i definitely do not agree with calling a random trans person socialized as their assigned gender or anything#i dont make assumptions about the way others have been raised but like. stop letting bigots poison actual real terms please.

💘 p e r i s h.
Tumblr media
where they first met and how
touma dropped his fkin burger and levi laughed his ass off at how distraught he seemed. then touma was like “doki doki” but in an art way and wanted him to be his muse, to which levi obviously said yes ://
how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved
Hmmmm, for levi it was a gradual thing. he’s fairly quick to catch feels, but the just rlly started getting more and more serious. it started off with, oh hes cute, then i wanna smooch his face, then i wanna date & fuck him.toUMA is still all. fkin touma i guess so ://// levi would like to know exACTLY how he feels for him immediately pls. 
who fell for who first ( if applicable )
Levi. definitely.
where their first date was and what it was like
Touma probably took Levi to some art exhibition and it was boring as shit for Levi but he was just happy to be there, Touma felt bad though and tries to pick better places in the future. 
who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? )
lmao. Levi confessed his feelings bc he was acting like a jealous asshole and ruined Touma’s date so does that count??
who proposes first
I mean. It’d have to be Touma bc Levi refuses to be the one to propose he wants to be proposed to, only he’s dropping not at all subtle hints for like 6 months so. 
if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away
loooooool. hidden. very much hidden. 
where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? )
It’d probably be more on the private side of things. I feel like either Touma would try to make it a lil romantic, nothing like massive, but just some cute meaningful things, maybe over dinner. Or alternatively he fucks up royally/chickens out too much, and like Levi finds the fucking ring in his sock draw and comes out crying like “tf is this??? are you-- omg yesyesyesyeyes” and touma’s like “gfdi i didn’t even propose yet levi u cant say yes yet jfc my life is a mess”
if they adopt any pets together
Levi loves pets !!!! he loves animals !!! he’d want a pet. except touma would want a snake and levi refuses to be anywhere near it while he feeds it ://
who’s more dominant
ahhhhh i mean, i feel like Levi is definitely capable of being more dominant, but as it stands at least he sides a little more on the submissive, or at least like just a bit of a brat rather than dominant side of things. levi loooooves it when touma sudden;y gets a little dominant like hes wEAk for that. But i think later on when Levi tops bc its gonna happen at some point his more dominant side will come out. Anyway they’re both switches so I guess it depends ??
where their first kiss was and what it was like
that one time on the couch when levi just said he wanted to rest on touma but then it turned into cuddling and then oops he kissed him then oops it turned into more :///
if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? )
levi would adamantly encourage this behavior, but he’d have to force it on touma. probably just small things around the house tho definitely not something they’d wear in public or anything. 
how into pda they are
well -- levi is super into it but he is taking it very very slow for touma 
who holds the umbrella when it rains
either or ?? they dont have a big height difference so it doesnt matter
where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable )
at home bc touma has no money and never leaves his fkin house 
who’s more protective
probably neither rlly?? but maybe levi
how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ )
mmmm it probably won’t take long lmao. levi is ready to go whenever touma is 
if they argue about anything
I’m actually surprised they don’t argue more often bc levi is a shit, but touma is such a pushover he lets him get away with too much. I think down the track they’ll definitely run into some issues abt levi feeling neglected and also pda stuff tho
who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. )
it’s pretty even. they both leave a lot off hickeys in a lot of places, but levi also likes to leave some scratches from time to time
who steals whose clothes and how often
LOL LEVI WOULD NOT STEAL ANYTHING FROM HIS WARDROBE SOZ TOUMA BUT NO. and touma doesnt care abt that stuff so he wouldn’t either
how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? )
near constantly and it’s mostly just levi lining to touma for dear life. levi is on him all the damn time. any kind of cuddle he can get tbh.
what their favourite nonsexual activity is
that doesnt exist to levi :// maybe just ?? chilling at home ?? watching smth ?? cuddling ??
how long they stay mad at each other
touma is a pushover so not long. levi can hold a fkin grudge and will until touma apologizes then he’s over it, so however long that takes, but also hes petty so he’d bring it up again.
if they ever have any children together
pls never let either of them have a child together pls they are not ready. maybe when they’re older but i doubt it
if they have any special pet names for each other
uhhhhh minou, mon amour, tou, lev, senpai-kohai 
if they ever split up and / or get back together
yIKEs. big potential for this but i fkin hope not. they’re are a lot of things that could go wrong
what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? )
clean, levi doesn’t like a mess. he had to designate a special space for touma to paint bc he cant deal with all that mess
what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like
sad and lonely probably bc levi was away from home and touma is a shut in. 
what their names are in each other’s phones
touma would literally just have “levi” with nothing extra or emojis and levi would have “touma” with one thousand emojis
if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? )
they probably don’t have anything like that tbh
who falls asleep first and who wakes up first
touma falls asleep first and levi wakes up first 
who’s the big spoon / little spoon
they switch
who hogs the bathroom
fucking levi ofc
who kills the spiders / takes them outside
touma for sure if he thinks levi is going near that spider he has another thing coming 
Tumblr media
where they first met and how
at school and they didn’t rlly like each other at first :/
how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved
they didn’t have a fkin flirting phase they had a friends phase then everett caught feels and now they’re friends that fuck. feelings from luke are just starting to get involved but they’ve got a while to go
who fell for who first ( if applicable )
ev fell first like the dumbass he is
where their first date was and what it was like
luke tried to take him to a movie and then dinner all traditional and romantic but its dumb and they both hate it
who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? )
i guess luke “officially” asks him out. probably just being dumb and all shy abt it tho
who proposes first
luke. probably has to a million times bc ev is all fuk the man and stuff
if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away
a secret bc ev can’t and luke rlly doesnt want it getting out right away
where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? )
it’s only probably rlly dumb, like they’re just sitting on the couch watching tv, ev has half a soft pretzel shoved in his mouth and luke just looks over like “will you just fkin marry me you idiot ??”
if they adopt any pets together
probably at some point i feel. maybe a dog or a cat. and then ofc ev is like “we dont need to have kids we have the cat/dog” and luke is like “no”
who’s more dominant
HA. Luke easily 
where their first kiss was and what it was like
on the couch, everett teasing him followed by luke losing his shit right after 
if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? )
god no. everett would straight up refuse and i highly doubt luke would want any of that anyway
how into pda they are
not very ?? i doubt they’d be much different to how they are now anyway?? 
who holds the umbrella when it rains
luke bc he’s taller and also bc hes a big strong man obvi
where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable )
i doubt they have one since someone refuses to go on dates :////
who’s more protective
they’re actually both pretty damn protective tbh, but definitely luke bc he borders on/is super possessive lmao 
how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ )
...........well if u count blow jobs it didn’t take long at aLL but uh. actual sex will take a while bc ev is a virgin and luke is a little scared to go that gay :/
if they argue about anything
HA. IF. good joke. they argue about everything, literally everything. 
who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. )
I think they both would leave their fair share of marks tbh
who steals whose clothes and how often
Eeeeevvvvvvvv all the time. half bc hes just trying to be a brat and educe luke :/
how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? )
at first probably just spooning until they get a little more comfortable with each other and then face to face too 
what their favourite nonsexual activity is
does fighting count?
how long they stay mad at each other
oh boi. they can both stay mad for aaaaaagggeeessssss. it probably just depends on whether luke is willing to give in first bc as soon as he mellows ev does too
if they ever have any children together
B|  well. they’re at a bit of an impasse rn so we’ll see lmao
if they have any special pet names for each other
maybe all of their countless insults?? also ev and lu/lulu
if they ever split up and / or get back together
idk. i don’t think they’d split up unless they meant it for reals. they’ll fight but they’d both stick it out and try to fix it unless it was something that rlly couldn’t be fixed. so if they split up it’d probably be for good. or at least for a few years or smth ??
what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? )
probably clean bc luke makes a good househusband and cleans up when he’s bothered 
what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like
just happy. luke would be happy to be chilled and relaxed and with ev and not with his parents lmao 
what their names are in each other’s phones
it’s probably “dumbass moron” and “giant prick” 
if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? )
yeah no theres no way they do that shit
who falls asleep first and who wakes up first
they probably sleep at the same ish time and ev wakes up first
who’s the big spoon / little spoon
usually luke is the big spoon but i also love the idea of everett just wrapping himself around luke sometimes too
who hogs the bathroom
ev more than luke, luke doesnt rlly give a shit abt his looks he’s in and out done. 
who kills the spiders / takes them outside 
luke hates them but he’ll catch them and put them out, cringing the whole time
Tumblr media
where they first met and how
andrew “saved” daiki from being hit on and it was all downhill from there
how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved

who proposes first
daiki would it honestly wouldn’t even cross andy’s mind and then he’d be shooketh
if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away

where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? )

who’s more dominant

who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. )
Daiki, bc hes a possessive fuck
who steals whose clothes and how often
Uhhh andy does sometimes?? not often. just bc it was cold and his hoodie was there so :/ he ends up getting fucked in it tho so

Clean bc andy is organized and clean

Tumblr media
where they first met and how
adonis was hired for a job and it went horribly 
how long their ‘flirting’ phase was before feelings got involved
i dont think they rlly flirted so much as it’d just be friendship and then caught feels
who fell for who first ( if applicable )
it was probably adonis tbh, after he got passed his initial anger he realized mitsuki was a good person and got a big ass puppy crush on him 
where their first date was and what it was like
playing video games and mitsuki realizing just how terrible adonis is at them, they try like so many different types to see if he’ll be better at them but he is not
who asks who out and how ( with a sign? spelled out on a cake? just a simple ‘will you go out with me’? )
it probably wasn’t anything special?? just confessing and then asking naturally through that??
who proposes first
idk but i kinda like the idea of adonis doing it
if they keep / kept their relationship secret or let everyone know right away
they wouldn’t hide it tbh they’d jsut walk around holding hands or smth and ppl would know ??
where the proposal happens and how ( kiss cam at a baseball game? on a hillside surrounded by ducks? at a disney park? )
nothing big, but probably a little cheesy. adonis says smth like “will you be my romantic interest forever? without u there’s nothing to drive me towards my character development” or some shit idk. but it’s cute and hes laughing as he says it and all blushy and adorable okay
if they adopt any pets together
well they’ll have that devil dog so i guess :/
who’s more dominant
somehow mitsuki is :/ but maybe one day adonis will be able to
where their first kiss was and what it was like
probably terrible and messy and they hit each other’s faces or smth
if they have any matching couples stuff ( mugs? sweaters? pillowcases? )
ohhhh adonis would love that. give him the matching mugs 
how into pda they are
not super, adonis just wants to hold his hand. but also apparently super in pdsexual intercourse
who holds the umbrella when it rains
either or??
where their usual ‘date spot’ is ( if applicable )
finishing mitsuki’s manuscripts 
who’s more protective
hmmmm it’s probably equal?? not super protective or anything but they’d stand up for each other when they needed to 
how long it is before they sleep together ( can be as in ‘had sex’ or as in ‘shared a bed’ )
apparently not long rip
if they argue about anything
they argue abt mitsuki being gross
who leaves more marks ( lipstick, hickeys, scratchmarks etc. )
adonis leaves a lot of scratches 
who steals whose clothes and how often
adonis rlly likes wearing mitsuki’s clothes bc they smell like him and its nice
how they cuddle ( spooning? facing each other? )
probably facing each other and being super mushy and gross and pure
what their favourite nonsexual activity is
games. even tho adonis sucks
how long they stay mad at each other
not long at all
if they ever have any children together
i doubt it, neither seem that interested in having kids
if they have any special pet names for each other
Suki and Adonny
if they ever split up and / or get back together
Doubt it. They dont rlly fight or anything so??
what their shared living space is like ( messy? clean? what kind of decor? )
Not super messy but not super clean either
what their first christmas / hanukkah / etc as a couple was like
well -- santa ended up riding his reindeer 
what their names are in each other’s phones
“Adonyais” and “Mitsuki
if they have any ‘couple traditions’ ( buying a new mug for their collection every year? baking every friday evening? )
every year they buy a new game for adonis to play bc it literally takes him a year to beat the game sometimes that snot even enough
who falls asleep first and who wakes up first
adonis is first for both, being awake at night time without sun is actually pretty draining for him
who’s the big spoon / little spoon
they swap
who hogs the bathroom
adonis but not a lot
who kills the spiders / takes them outside 
mitsuki
