#Big gender anarchist vibed

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

Be honest, if you had never heard of Seinfeld, and your friend told you they knew someone named "Cosmo Kramer," you would not be picturing a cis person.

[silenthillmutual]

Top 5 transgender/nonbinary songs (either intentionally written as such or songs that just have the right vibes 🎶)

oooooh interesting question! unfortunatley i don't know a ton that really fit the theme of being by or about that experience because i am. so far behind in listening to music. so these just wound up being songs i associate w my own gender journey. sorry everyone.

I Was a Teenage Anarchist by Against Me! - sooo much about this song reminds me of when i was closeted in middle & high school, or, you know, 'when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire'. i think this was intentionally written as such because of the line 'narrow visions of autonomy / you wanted me to surrender my identity / i was a teenage anarchist / the revolution was a lie'

King for a Day by Green Day - it's about gender nonconformity, not exactly transness (since afaik everyone in the band is cis) but you have no idea how much that meant to 12 year-old me. i was so into the idea of guys wearing dresses and girls wearing suits and i couldn't put my finger on why. things that should have made me realize my gender way sooner.

Twin Size Mattress by the Front Bottoms - a lot of people make fun of them, 'oh i can tell from this gif they sound like shit' okay maybe not all music is supposed to sound like shit you hear in the grocery store. with that little side-rant out of the way i listened to this song a lot after falling out for gender-related reasons with my family so it really resonated with me and the loneliness i felt. plus the lines 'it's no big surprise you turned out this way / when they closed their eyes and prayed you would change / and they cut your hair and sent you away / you stopped by my house the night you escaped' always made me think of. trans things. moving on!

I Just Can't Wait to Be King from the Lion King - okay this is really silly and strange coming from me but for some reason i always thought this song would be really sweet coming from someone who hasn't transitioned yet, especially trans kids looking forward to being an adult in their chosen gender.

Weird Science by Oingo Boingo - my silliest answer yet. if i could pick an album to be my gender it would be Dead Man's Party. and we all know the inherent transness of the mad scientist, so the whole album is nonbinary to me.

~tabswrites

NICE TRY but i already submitted my swap write-up 😌distract away, demon

i will answer :

2. How has this WIP changed since the “daydream/brainstorm” stage?

i'm going to talk abt erotica now lol

so i've mentioned before that wolf's tooth was initially just, like. i was at c2e2 and i was sitting in on panels and i needed something to do with my hands so i started designing characters for a smut comic feat. werewolves and that those characters were raleigh and kirby. and then i never finished the comic lol but i kept drawing the characters-- raleigh in particular, who's made of such fun shapes and doesn't have kirby's fucked up nose and is just so fun to draw over and over again for eternity.

EXCEPT.... you'll notice that in the drawings from 2019 ( those trad sketches are, like, The First Raleigh And Kirby Drawings, Ever, Drawn At-Con) raleigh Already has his story-reliant neck scars. that's because those were initially a sex thing lmao, BUT because i wasn't going to be finishing that original comic and i was getting more and more attached to the characters (and because i love thrashing my characters), i couldn't just... Not... explain those scars. And Therefore:

(look at how itty bitty the scar on his face is btw... it's just a baby :')...)

so the concept behind this stage in wolf's tooth's narrative is largely the same: raleigh goes to his boyfriend's mother's house with kirby's cousins and the house is surprise-attacked by another pack of werewolves; raleigh is bitten but he doesn't turn into a werewolf (at this point it was just, like, biology; sometimes it doesn't work and we don't really know why-- may revert to this if my balls out draft doesn't mesh in the end) and the gang goes on a roadtrip to get some revenge. However, in this stage the pedersen pack was much more, like... Chill. i'm really into werewolves and i love reading werewolf stories, and i'm really into comics so i had been spending a lot of time reading on tapas, and i realized that there was like a veritable wellspring of indie werewolf prose fiction on tapas. Unfortunately a lot of what i ran into was that, like... essentially-just-omegaverse; crazy-unexamined-power-dynamic; gender-essentialist; one-of-these-characters-is-just-going-to-be-a-woobie-nervous-baby-while-the-other-one-is-a-hotheaded-d-bag; one-of-them-is-16-the-other-is-30; horny-but-in-an-adolescent-way -type deal, and a lot of them had these like heavily abusive hypermasculine misogynist (without any women???????? this is the omegaverse factor bc even the, like, gay omegaverse is like bioessentialist misogyny with extra steps) pack dynamics that were seen as like Genre Standard (and i think it's because the Algorithm was feeding me largely romances + genres tend to eat each-other like that) and the oversaturation of it was really grating on me so my little transgay anarchist ass was like 'my werewolf pack is just going to be one big happy family', so i had essentially just cut the power dynamic factor entirely.

uhhhhh but then i had trouble writing the story, because there was a single conflict and i couldn't make that conflict work in my fluffy little werewolf world-- it just didn't fit the vibe, it didn't make a lot of sense. so i started to add power dynamics back into the story in a way that felt more meaningful and thematic: lovise wants her direct bloodline to maintain control of the pack but kirby doesn't want to be the alpha; the pack is too large for a single alpha to direct, because she can't be everywhere at once, so her subordinates are becoming impatient with the rigid rules she's implemented to try to keep up; individual interpersonal conflicts between wolves in different pods that make the pack less cohesive; external pressure from other smaller packs because the pedersens are just so scary powerful, etc. it's much darker and more stressful a narrative than it was initially, but to my genuine relief it's nowhere even close to those stories that i was trying so hard to push away from lmao

and that's how awtfr went from pwp (porn without plot) to pwp (porn With plot) to handing out trauma like i'm bad santa

thanks for the ask lol

[abortionado]

Most to least likely to be leftists in the BAU?

Okay lol so I don’t think any of them would/could be actual leftists (barring Penelope), because they all work for the FBI, obviously, but I’ll rank from farthest left to farthest right

1. Penelope.

Okay. Hacker vigilante chick forced to work for the government under threat of imprisonment? Villain origin story. I think she’s the only Actual Leftist among them (an anarchist waiting to pounce)

- Derek takes her to the petting zoo for fun and she sees a pig and is reflexively like “good afternoon, officer,” forgetting that he was a cop and his dad died being a cop BFJSKFJ

2. Spencer.

- Grew up neglected and in poverty, taking care of his sick mother, because there were no effective systems in place to help him & Diana...he would be really big on Medicare for all and other social reform, especially after seeing how many kids turn into serial killers because of bad childhoods

- He would REALLY value the idea of tuition-free college, funding public schools and libraries, etc. to ensure that no kid ever goes without education/gets a subpar education/is academically understimulated. Great minds come from all walks of life, and every little kid should have the opportunity and tools to succeed!!! Also he wants his student debt cancelled

- Chemistry/Physics degrees. You KNOW he’s freaked about climate change

So I always imagine him politically along the same lines as Bernie and AOC

3. Emily.

Not as big on raising taxes on the rich as Spencer is, because she’s the rich (comes from old money), but she’s a huge believer in abortion rights and social programs that benefit women and children. Hillary enthusiast

- She got where she is today partly because she was able to have an abortion, and she’s saved countless lives because of it. No young woman should be deprived of her future and her impact because she made a one-night mistake.

- After working with child victims, she’s seen a lot of the horrific things that happen to children as a result of shitty, crumbling social programs, and she wants so desperately for that to change.

4. Derek. He’s one of the, like, 34 swing voters that politicians are always catering to?

- He was raised by a cop and became a cop and his bastard cop dad was always his hero, so he’s probably big on the “law and order” thing Republicans are always selling

- He definitely has that weird masculine “politically incorrect” complex men have where they’re like “my PRONOUNS?!?!??!!?!? Uh, I’m a MAN. A DUDE. a GUY. An ATTACK HELICOPTER”

Probably has multiple guns at his house and pointedly says “merry Christmas” when wished happy holidays or whatever

- But at the same time, that’s just fun and games—he has no genuine ill will towards anybody (he obviously knows what discrimination and prejudice feel like) and is generally very respectful and compassionate. He would hate to see people suffering, so he would never vote for anybody he thought was actually hateful or was going to harm him or the people he loved. Just doesn’t like taxes and likes guns lmao

5. Hotch

Definitely a Republican, but, like, a Republican who doesn’t immediately reek of Republicanism? A low key Republican

- White heterosexual cis man raised by an old money Southern Belle and her toxic husband.....yeah

- “Socially liberal and economically conservative”

6. JJ

Republican and less secretive about it than Hotch......probably wouldn’t vote for Trump in 2020 after seeing what he did, because she’s not crazy, but probably would in ‘16 and just not tell anyone

- Christian girl autumn type of vibe...........definitely had gender reveal parties twice

- “You know, Spence, for someone so smart, you sure don’t have a lot of common sense. I’m looking at two feet of snow out my window right now, and you’re telling me the Earth is getting warmer? Come on. I wish!”

7. Rossi

WEALTHY RACIST OLD MAN

[scrabbleknight]

Since I finally posted my 2nd chapter for my TOH fanfic, (read here) I made some OCs. At the same time, this is also a theory TOH post because I did base these OCs from canon.

These are the coven founders for the nine main covens. The good news is that we have a good physical description aka what they look like. Another good news is that it's only been 50 years and if Principal Bump is any indication, then 50 years is only a fraction of a witch's lifespan.

Now, there's no way these witches were chosen by random. If Emperor Belos had any hope of conquering the entire Boiling Isles, then they have to be the most powerful witches around to support him. Masters of their magic and almost as powerful as Belos. My theory is that they helped in the conquering and were awarded being leaders of the covens.

Also, Imma give them names. We'll start from the left.

Abomination Coven (Bastille)

He seems to be a tall man, like really tall. I don't like his smile and shifty look so I assume he's the kind to smile all the time like Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. Probably even the same personality with the full creepiness. Best headcanon I got is that he leans down a full 90 degrees when talking to someone shorter than him.

Potions Coven (Albert)

At first, I thought they were some bird person but I realized they just has a really cylindrical head. One of the three gender-ambiguous characters. I imagine them being a very scientific kinda dude since chemistry is a bitch but they could also be an anarchist. Best design amongst all of them imo. The tophat kills it good.

Illusion Coven (Weiss)

Dick. Bad boy. His two-faced appearance is a reference to the smiling and sad masks in theater that represents Comedy and Tragedy. I imagine him to be bipolar and switches personalities with his mirror. Also, he looks like a cruel fellow, probably tortures people with nightmarish illusions or something. I don't like him.

Construction Coven (Durin)

He's a dwarf person. We've seen them in the episode "Covention", though I doubt that's him personally. Probably a quite person and I wrote him to have simple responses in mind like "Aye" or "Nay". Definitely has an accent though. Love the beard.

Plant Coven (Gerheade)

She's old. She looks old. She probably lives in the middle of the woods. A true witch who ironically isn't a wild witch. Dunno much about personality but I imagine her to be a very quiet and calm grandma. Also, powerful too bcoz among Luz's friends, Willow is crazy OP. She could beat Amity's ass and we all know it.

Beast Keeping Coven (Sierra)

Another gender-ambiguous character. Reminds me of Ruby from Steven Universe. They're small, tiny witch. Small like a preschooler but if the banner says anything, it's that they could kick your ass regardless of size. Honestly, just pure Ruby vibes. Lots of emotion and positivity.

Bard Coven (Bartholomew)

He's a hard one. He could either be super nice or super cruel. Music tends to be that. He's got little horns and moustasche but he's definitely an older character. I wrote him as a fun British grandpa so that's my interpretation.

Healing Coven (Gertrude)

They're a cyclops or that's a mouth. They also reminds me of that one Oracle student with the crescent moon head so probably related. Healers are usually very kind so I assume them to be the same. Also, yes, gender-ambiguous but I imagine it be a lady. Big buff lady.

Oracle Coven (Jenkins)

Dumb name but fuck it. The dude's got a moustasche that has hands on them. Like, that's super cool. Fuck controlling your head hair. He can probably beat someone up with them. Either that or he's a wimp. Him gambling sounds funny though.

Anyway, I sure hope we get to see them in canon. There's no way they're dead after 50 years. That's like short in witch's term. Eda and Lilith are both like in their 40s and God knows how old Principal Bump is. He was Eda and Lilith's principal for crying out loud! The guy is older than the freaking coven system!

Bump, why are you old???

[septicfag]

GETTING INTO PUNK MASTERPOST 

Want to get into the punk subculture, but a bit intimidated by it?? Here's a little list of tips and tricks for getting into the scene!!!  [especially if you don't know any punks in real life, or aren't particularly close friends with any punks online either]

THINK FOR YOURSELF!!!! this is so important, you cannot be punk and NOT think for yourself, before accepting anything you have to think it through for yourself!!!!

DON’T BE RACIST, XENOPHOBIC, SEXIST, HOMOPHOBIC, TRANSPHOBIC, FASCIST. ETC. you cannot be part of a group of radical free thinkers as a bigot. If you are a bigot you are not and will not be welcome in the punk community

INFORM YOURSELF ON CURRENT ISSUES. Work to figure out what you think about current issues because (as stated before) its punk as hell to have your own opinions

LISTEN TO PUNK MUSIC. You don't have to listen to anything you don't vibe with, but trying out different genres of punk and listening to some of the big names will help you understand and share something in common with more “seasoned” punks.

TALK TO OTHER PUNKS. most of us are really nice, especially if we know you're trying to get into the scene! You can always interact/talk to us! most of us know how it can be a little scary to break into the scene and are willing to talk about our experiences!

TAKE YOUR SELF EXPRESSION INTO YOUR OWN HANDS. to whatever extent you can make/modify clothes for yourself. add patches and pins or paint on clothes [use fabric paint or acrylic mixed with fabric base for a cheaper alternative] ITS 100% OKAY TO WEAR YOUR MODIFIED CLOTHES EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT "DONE" YET! FUCK FAST FASHION!!

LOOK AT PUNK FASHION. there have been around 50 years of punk fashion, so find some you dig and base some of your modified clothes off of it (I'm really into 80s punk looks so I normally look like I crawled out of CBGB [famous punk bar in NY] during its peak years). Staples of a punk look are clunky boots or skate shoes (converse or knockoffs), band shirts, and battle jackets! Punk “fashion” is based on DIY and practicality. (it should be noted punk clothing also has an emphasis on being safe for moshing/protests, so normally no HUGE spikes and impractical shoes and super loose clothes)

GO TO SHOWS! ESPECIALLY LOCAL SHOWS!! going to shows in your local area is a good way to get into the scene. if you're underage or live in assfuck nowhere it's completely fine to not travel hours or get kicked out of a venue halfway through the show, so feel free to wait until you have a good chance to go to one. If you're in an area with a local scene, going out to local shows is a great way to meet and support other punks! [suggestion by @juggernaut-is-a-metalhead]

Some other notes

YOU CAN BE ANY RACE OR GENDER OR SEXUALITY AND BE PUNK, PUNK IS NOT JUST FOR WHITE CISHET MEN! PUNK HAS ALWAYS AND WILL ALWAYS BE AN INCLUSIVE SPACE FOR EVERYONE WHO’S SICK AND TIRED OF BEING KICKED AROUND BY ANY/EVERYONE!!!

YOU CAN BE PUNK AND MENTALLY ILL, YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS DOES NOT CONTROL YOU AND WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE EVEN IF SOMETIMES IT FEELS THAT WAY! It’s also completely fine and valid to not want to go to shows/protests or be confrontational if you have a mental illness or honestly just don’t feel comfortable or safe doing so. 

YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE PIERCINGS OR TATTOOS TO BE PUNK! If you’re underage or just don’t want to or don’t have the money, it’s okay to not have body mods and it doesn’t make you any less punk. 

we really don’t like bootlickers (basically people kowtowing to authority and authority figures)

we're anti-authority 

a lot of us are atheists or at least have a distaste for formalized institutionalized religion

we kind of mind our own fucking business as long as the business isn't hurting us or others

there're a lot of anarchists in punk but you don't have to be one, there are also a lot of social democrats

we DO NOT hurt or harass people who don't deserve it (ie. kids, people who have nothing to do with whatever we're fighting against)

there're not really hard and fast rules that’s a big thing with punk, only you have power over yourself (”no authority but yourself” is a popular quote coined by anarcho-punk band, Crass)

Quick and basic punk genre breakdown

proto-punk- the punk before punk, this genre is comprised of 60s and 70s bands with a less refined sound than mainstream bands at the time, however, they normally didn’t have much in common. Bands like The Velvet Underground fall into this genre.

70's - punk begins to emerge as a genre people argue about who was actually the first punk band a popular choice is Ramones

80's- LOTS of punk potential here, 69.69% of "classic punk" bands are 80's punk

90's- ska started to emerge and punk was seen as skater music a lot of "classic punk" was also 90's 

ska punk- based more on reggae, seen as skater music, normally has fun trumpets!

riot grrrl- feminist punk (just being an all female punk band doesn't make you a riot grrrl band, there’s a sound to it as well)

folk punk- punk but with different instruments and less 3 chord riffs

post-punk- punk but more modern, normally is a bit softer than "classic punk"

hardcore punk- punk with screaming, kind of sounds like black metal, but with anarchy

pop punk- punk but it sounds more pop-y (hotly debated what is and isn't, its kind of a dumpster fire)

garage punk- punk but EVEN less polished [this is my favorite genre]

THERE ARE MORE GENRES THAN THIS, THIS IS JUST A VERY FAST OVER-VIEW. Punk has about 1000000 different sub-genres so only the most popular and well known are included here! 

(note about early punk: 70s and 80s punk sometimes included slurs in music or wearing hate symbols such as swastikas, this was because at the time a lot of punk forerunners subscribed to the idea that wearing/saying things employed by bigots would take power away from them, this idea was largely abandoned by the punk community as they made their way into the 90s. Now in the 20s punks wear lots of anti-hate symbols either coined by the punk community or lifted from other sources) 

(2nd note, concerning inflammatory or ironic statements: a big part of punk culture and lyrics is using purposely inflammatory or heavily ironic statements, one way to figure out if the sentiment in a song is actually meant to be harmful or angry and not ironic is to look up the lyrics/band. As a rule of thumb if they’re an actual punk band that’s listened to by actual punks, it’s irony 99.8% of the time)     

Some bands (almost) every punk has at least heard of:

Bad Brains, Bad Religion, Black Flag, Blink 182, Choking Victim, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Descendents, Green Day, Leftover Crack, Minor Threat, Misfits, NOFX, The Offspring, Operation Ivy, Pennywise, Ramones, Rancid, Sex Pistols, Social Distortion

[lifted off r/punk on reddit]

Some ending tips:

don’t feel embarrassed to look up lyrics or the sub-genre of a punk song/band, it's a way of learning! also don’t feel embarrassed to look into punk history, it shows you’re genuinely interested in the message and culture!

listen to punk compilation albums! they have some amount of fame in the scene in and of themselves (such as GIVE 'EM THE BOOT [VOLUMES 1-5], PUNK ROCK HALLOWEEN [VOLUMES 1-2], and BARRICADES AND BROKEN DREAMS)

check out entire record labels! you can find a lot of cool bands that don't get a lot of attention. here's a good masterlist of punk record labels, but if that's too daunting, Fat Wreck Cords, Epitaph Records, and Discord Records are very well known. [suggestion by @juggernaut-is-a-metalhead]

It’s completely fine to not have a lot of money to spend on records or supplies for DIY clothes. Punk has an emphasis that your clothes and shit don’t have to be “pretty” they have to be functional. 

for DIY patches/pins you can put ANYTHING you want on them, song lyrics, rallying cries, dates, sayings, literally anything you want, every punk has some weird shit on their patches. 

don't feel pressured into doing anything you don’t want to do, there is/was a group of punks who are "straight edge" meaning they didn’t drink or do drugs or stuff like that (more common in the 90s/00s)

seriously don’t be afraid to interact with other punks!! we're a bit rough but generally harmless if you don’t suck!!

it’s 100% normal to also have nonpunk interests, don’t feel like you have to give up anything you love to be punk.

You don’t have to listen to any of this to be punk, being punk is doing what you want to do because you want to!! This is just a compiled list of tips for anyone not sure where to start!

PUNKS NOT DEAD

[feel free to correct me if I’ve gotten something wrong! my DMs and asks are always open if you want to hear more of my punk hot takes or want to talk to someone about punk or punk adjacent shit!]

abernathy is a small town, surely you’ve met AGATHA KLEIN ; they can be a little IRREVERENT & OPPORTUNISTIC but have no fear , the TWENTY SEVEN year old definitely makes up for it by being IMPISH & SENSITIVE . most of the time anyway .  they’re usually seen around KLEIN & ASSOCIATES, LLC , as a CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY . you know, i hear they’re affiliated with the local mc, iron kings as an ATTORNEY . they’ve got this vibe of A HEART GROWN RAVENOUS, A CYANIDE CENTER ENCAPSULATED BY SACCHARINE FRUIT, AND A SOUL IN THE FORM OF A SCRIBBLE WITH FANGS going on , makes them easily recognizable.

loosely inspired by jennifer check (jennifer's body), wendy byrde (ozark), ginger fitzgerald (ginger snaps), elizabeth sloane (miss sloane), john silver (black sails), & BBHMM.

+ pinterest, stats.

hey, friends. i’m devin (or dev) & very tickled to be here. agatha’s a combination of two of my favorite muses, and i can only hope that you’ll love her as much as i do. 🤎

"𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄, 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒. 𝐍𝐎. 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐒𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓."

agatha’s story isn’t one that she likes to tell anymore. she feels it’s useless: to be defined by the actions of others, to attempt to battle the preconceived notions that run rampant regardless of what one says or does. she doesn’t want to beg for understanding anymore, or to claw her way from beneath the filth she’s made of her life. all that most know is all that she can bear to have known. the rest? it’s confetti; a meager concession in a game of chess. if you know her, is that a fact or a weapon to be used against her?

when it comes to the stories that can be told, however.. perhaps the most important is background. agatha’s an abernathy native: raised in grandiose park, flew the coop for college, only to settle back down in bordeaux apartments. klein & associates, llc. has been in her family for generations, each forefather serving increasingly questionable clients. agatha’s life, like that of many kleins before her, was already planned before she’d ever even been a thought in her parents’ minds. under her mother’s rule, there wasn’t any room for straying from that path. agatha would be smart; she would be clean; and she would be, without fail, someone. in other words, she would be her perfect replica. imagine the disappointment when agatha was anything but. 

agatha’s childhood can be summed up by three things: a door slammed shut in her face, an ear-piercing howl, and the chronic longing to go home — wherever that was. it’s another thing she doesn’t talk about, another thing she tries not to think about. those three things have followed her into adulthood, but they’ve taken different forms now. no longer is agatha a child screaming her throat raw — no; now, she cries out in other more productive ways. if you were to ask her, she’d tell you that she’s a woman grown; the past is behind her, buried in the sand where it belongs. the truth is trickier, less absolute. agatha is a child in the form of a woman; forever in the midst of a metamorphosis, unsure if for better or worse. she lacks foresight & lives largely in the now. she can’t imagine a future for herself and her choices in life reflect that.

agatha succeeds because she’s pretty, powerful, and convincing. wherever she falls short, her father is sure to more than make up for it. it’s amazing what people will do for the right price, and when they want to keep certain secrets from ever seeing the light. nepotism & immense privilege have done wonders for her, but she does.. actually work hard, too. she has an incredible memory & is really good at digging for more information & making her case. if she tells you that she’s going to do something, then she’s going to do it right no matter what. she’s dogged in that way, blinded to the outside world by her stubbornness. she works long hours & values her career above all else. she thinks it’s the only sure thing she has & views it as the one stable, secure thing in her life.

agatha is lonely to the point of defect. she lacks a sense of security in her life, which is why she’s so career-focused. she genuinely thinks that the only person ever looking out for her is her dad. she becomes very predictable once you realize that she will always pick the winning team; that she will forever follow the money; and that she is always going to make the decision that most benefits her. that isn’t to say that she doesn’t have any friends omg, but.. she doesn’t really trust easily. if she trusts you and considers you near and dear to her heart, then she’ll choose you. but until she has that reassurance? you’re on your own, bro. 

but like.. you literally would not know that unless you got burned by her. agatha is really good at listening and really good at playing parts for people. the thing with having no story is that she’s free to create her own. if you need a hero, she can be that. if you need a villain, she can definitely be that. she’s eerily good at getting chummy enough to make people think she’s close, only for them to realize.. they don’t actually know anything real about her? fun stuff. 

i think.. her entire life is a vie for power while also wanting to let go of that desire while also being afraid of what might happen if she were to let go of that desire. she’s not tht bad. she can play decent, be a guy’s guy. and she does come off tht way. it’s jus.. underneath there’s tht like .. tht rot tht she can’t scrub away. n it rears its ugly little head smtimes. but. :^) she can be cool n shoot the shit u kno.. heheh.

anyway.. lighter stuff<3 puts the gaslight and gatekeep in girlboss. talks just like her daddy, except for when she’s in the courtroom. egocentric without ever meaning to be. (spoiler: it’s a smoke screen.) she can, must, and will find a way to twist your words into something she can make sense of. believes in mixed drink supremacy. will absolutely smoke all of your weed + play dumb about hogging the blunt. plays dumb a lot actually, until it’s time to be smart. she’s touchy-feely, but freezes up whenever someone touches her. stares — a lot. can’t ever be the person to pick you up after a rough night out, because she’s likely there with you egging you on to do one more shot. every event is a tits out event / she has to be the most overdressed person in the convenience store at all times. can, must, and will be your unsolicited sugar momma. YOU SPIL-DBFDHFDJHBF LIPSTICK IN MY VALENTINO WHITE BAG? energy. thinks everything is a competition because it is. if she loved you once then she loves you forever. thinks going 20 over the speed limit isn’t speeding, actually. a bit of an emotional anarchist. can’t actually take what she’ll dish out. teases u if she likes u. teases u if she doesn’t like u. doesn’t care abt the feud as long as she’s gettin’ tht shmoney. big fan of an emotional sucker punch. 

"𝐌𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐄𝐌𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐋, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈 𝐀𝐌 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐋."  + below are some ideas open to any & all muses no matter the age, gender, affiliation, etc !

i’ve left how she got involved with the mc totally absent from this intro bc i was hoping to plot it out! i’d love it if someone wanted to be her “in”. could be they were a childhood friend in need of help, a client she got close to, jus smth tht happened by chance.. whtever we come up with works! <3

if anyone needs an evil ex gf .. She’s Here. she will lie, cheat, scam, trash yr car, empty yr bank account.. whtvr you need, baybee<3

conversely.. not-so-evil ex gf? agatha can be nice & caring without there being a catch sometimes. maybe they still talk. maybe they’re friends. u tell me.

fwb / ex fwb? she do be sending them ‘u up?’ texts. 

someone tht agatha only got close to bc she wanted them to testify/be a character witness in court oopz<3

omg actual friends pls.. ppl tht Know her. tht See her. ppl tht she cares abt n would actually do anything for. friends!!!!!!!!!!!!

agatha has “get off my lawn” energy so i think it would be very funnie if someone needed a place to crash n she let them stay at hers thinking it was temporary n then they jus.. did not leave. n she’s like 🤨 hello?

an almost smth? anything weird n awkward n unspoken tht maybe fizzled out or maybe still lingers under the surface?

agatha doesn’t have a budding drinking problem but if she does no she doesn’t but if she does then<3 drinking buddy? someone that she’s gotten into questionable shenanigans with? poor bartender tht has to deal w her trying to “help” them as she waits for her uber to come? the possibilities are endless.

agatha’s all bark n very little bite but i still think it’d be funnie if she had a hateship. jus putting tht out there<3

if yr muse wnts an ego boost via unrequited crush.. lmk. i’m willing to hulk smash all of agatha’s dignity jus for u.

omggg a dealer? >.> who said tht omg #hacked.. 

on n off again thingz? lorde wrote tht "i am my mother's child i'll love you til my breathing stops / i'll love you till you call the cops on me" line abt her</3

budding friendships!!!!!!! ppl tht she goes to pilates or yoga with; people she gets brunch with; ppl she keeps running into n its like heeey u :); little platonic crushes jus . all of the cute platonic thingz tht make her go wtf is this 🤨. 

i mean.. if anyone wants a sugar momma.. I MEANNN..

college friends!! law school friends!! ppl she met over the summer while interning somewhere!! i left tht purposely vague, hint-hint.

tinder dates gone wrong. ghosted tinder dates. tinder thingz.

agatha’s been attending galas / banquets / office partiez for ages now so if anyone wants to be her plus one or her lil fake date... :^) could be cute. cld be angsty. world is our oyster. 

speaking of which.. coworkers n maybe even a lil personal assistant would be so sexie.

First 5 for the gender questions?

darling thats so many

🐣 talk abt the first time you felt gender euphoria

Already Answered!

🌴 what circumstances make you feel most at home with your gender? e.g. carrying heavy things for someone, putting on a new lipstick, being alone in the outdoors, sitting in a cafe, etc

What I’m realising as I think on this is that I am most at home in my gender being masc in heteronormative spaces and being femme in queer spaces.

Away from social situations ... I very much love wearing lipstick. I love wearing big shiny earrings. and I love that I’m able to do push ups! I bet I’d love lifting heavy things for people. I certainly love lifting people, as you know very well.

Of course, being around other queer and gender nonconforming people is a delight. There’s nothing like people who Get it, and know what I mean when I say ‘gender is fake. gender is performative. and also I’m a woman!’

Other dykes are great. Queer Anarchist Spaces Are Great.

Being around other joyfully femme, effeminate, feminine etc. people is so so so wonderful. You know when you’re all performing the same kind of gender and just vibing with it????? I love when some other femme queer person who is less safe being femme out in the cold het world, like, clocks me and starts being more effeminate, and i mirror them, and they mirror me and we’re both just here performing femininity and reveling in it.

And conversely, I love when I’m in a space where no one knows fucking anything about gender theory but they still kind of get that I am a masculine woman. Like at ... a family bbq. Like they don’t Really know what butchness is but I’m wearing a chain on my belt and talking to my uncles about farming and they understand Something. That’s really comfortable.

Hey, those last two paragraphs are gender euphoria!

🌻 what are your favorite gender words?

???????? not quite sure what you mean by gender words tbh.

lmao i am in a group chat of all my dyke friends and when someone posts a selfie we are always like ‘OMG QUEEN’ or ‘OMG KING’ depending on ...  a complex formula that is used in so many lesbian and dyke spaces. Anyway no matter how butch or masc I present I don’t want to referred to as king. I’m queen, THANK you. 

I do love ‘dyke’, as a term which encompasses the complexity of wlw gender and sexuality,  but you only get to call me dyke if you call yourself a dyke. I don’t care if you’re literally a lesbian, if you wouldn’t call yourself a dyke I don’t want you to call me dyke. ......... If you call yourself a fag you can also call me a dyke, if we’re friends. (rip that there isn’t a nongendered equivalent of these, ‘queer’ doesn’t hit exactly the right note)

 ‘good woman’ is a common phrase in my dialect of english, and I like it a lot because it’s used to compliment someone on something they’ve done that’s ...competent. it sounds impressed.

Person A: aaaah I got the interview for yon job!! Jesus, what’ll I wear ... they sounded really impressed with me on the phone!!!

Person B: Good woman. They’d be mad not to take you on!

//

Person A: ah shite, there’s a pipe leaking here.

Person B: Let me have a look ... Okay, I think I can fix that, if you’ve got duct tape?

Person A: oh good woman yourself! I’ll see what we have

However, if anyone who does not speak this register of english tried to say it, that’s weird

I like .... gentlemanly, tho not gentleman. I like the gallantness gentlemanly implies, and ladylike doesn’t do the same. I like when random people on the street like, tell their kids ‘careful, don’t run into that lady!’ or whatever. but ladylike is too close to biddable for my preference.

in Irish ‘Spéirbhean’ is an Irish word for beautiful woman, which makes me VERY blushy face emoji.

spéir=sky bean=woman. So, it is quite literally, woman of the sky. Airy heavenly connotations. Spéiriúl means airy, light, fun, GAY.

Also the Irish for wife is ‘Bean Chéile‘ or where Chéile means ‘companion’, like ‘le chéile’ means ‘together’ so I do really like ... the idea of your spouse word just being ‘this is the lady I like to keep nearby :-) we keep each other company!’

While we’re on the Irish language btw the Irish for trans is tras (across, other side) and cis is cos/cois (near). These words are still in use as prepositions. I like that you are just ... near gender or far gender.

I like the idea of near gender anyway tbh because I am cis in that I’m afab and a woman, but I’m a gender nonconforming woman. there are different womanhoods, some are nearer than others.

The version of womanhood I was raised with was already nonconformist in that I was raised in a rural area by bikers and hippies, and then I combine it with being a lesbian and it’s dykey and great and perfect.

🪐 if your gender was something inanimate, what would it be? e.g. the ocean, a cool looking rock, a dusty wine bottle, etc

I saw a post recently that was like ‘my gender is the colour pink but evil’ and ...  My gender is the colour pink but gay.

also like... a really old piece of jewellery which is just a lump of roughly shaped silver or gold, on a chain. Decorative, hard wearing, a little rough and ready.

A piece of old but perfectly maintained machinery, for use in the home or garden. An oil lamp. One of those old coffee and spice grinders made of wood and brass with a hand crank.

An old chair or table or fire place someone has inexpertly painted/carved flowers on. Something practical which someone has made beautiful, with love and care.

🌈 what are your favorite gender affirming accessories?

I’m kind of worried someone’s gonna come out of the woodwork and call me regressive for saying girly things make me feel girly .....but I love love love big shiny extravagant earrings. Specifically ...

my dear friend @piratearrowxab made me some earrings using some (ethically sourced) beautiful, delicate bones. They’re vertebra on silver wires. I adore them

the earrings which are silver leaves on delicate chains - they have tiny holes in them so the sun comes through them, and they chime very gently in the breeze.

I have an earring which is a tiny golden book, just dangling. If you open it, it has the lord’s prayer written inside. I made it from a necklace my grandmother received on her First Holy Communion.

and in non-earring examples:

My grandfather’s old levis denim jacket. It’s blue denim and I’ve embroidered honeycomb on it in various places. 

My aforementioned bone handled pocket knife which I always keep on my keys.

my 500 different lipsticks.

just having. a lot of glitter on my face.

Dyke chains!!!! I was raised by bikers and hippies so I love that purely decorateive wallet chains are also a queer thing.

Heels, sometimes.

Big stompy dyke boots, sometimes. I really do have to get myself some steel toed work boots one of these days.

Private OC Rating

Done by @cho-rates​, I just decided to have the balls to make it public and answer questions! (as well as fix some things)

cho’s comments and questions will be in BOLD. 

My answers and fixed places will be in ITALIC!

Name: Shotaro Kaneda

Hero/Villain Name (if applicable): N/A

Age: 24 ( An aged up verse, he’s a couple years older than 1-A. Though sometimes I will portray his teen years as well, I have more information on his adult verse. I do want to flesh out teen years at some point though lol )

Birthday: September 5 (a virgo eww)

Gender: Male

Orientation: Bi-sexual

Height: 5'7"

Weight: 133 lbs

Hair: ear-length, fixed but slightly unruly, black

Appearance: Athletic agile build, Asian descent, brown eyes, red tinted hands and feet, small red horns on his forehead, long spiked / devilish red tail

Body: Athletic agile build

Quirk: Steam – Kaneda can build up and blow a hot steam that can potentially burn (or even melt depending on the force) his opponents. (Ahaha, the quirk fits the body appearance. I bet this one is going to be a hot head or really sweet)

Weakness: Building up and releasing too much steam at once can cause overexertion to the point where he can and will collapse and not be able to move for a while. Also his fucking ego. (LMFAO, I guess we’re dealing with the former and not the latter!)

Personality: Kaneda becomes the main symbol of defiance, expressing anarchy behavior towards authority and absolutely does not accept blatant disrespect. Kaneda values loyalty and becomes vengeful when trust is broken. He is impulsive, hot-headed, egotistical, and maintains a tough exterior; however, he is brave, independent, and highly empathetic. As a leader, Kaneda will look out for the safety and well-being of his allies, and will throw himself in front of a bullet for them if need be. (This!! I like that you didn’t make him a straight jerk and that you gave him good traits as well!)

Do they work well with others?: You are either with him or against him. By default he will work well if not negotiate unless you have a badge stating your authority.

Family: Parents deceased; family is his gang of brothers, all misfits and loyal to the bone

Friends (other oc’s or in BNHA universe): OC’s; his bike gang

Enemies(other oc’s or in BNHA universe): literally by default does not trust the cops or heroes (LOL)

Romantic Interests: by happenstance, Izuku Midoriya (LOL pt.2)

What do they think about heroes?: Oh shit oh fuck uhhhh

A couple of things about heroes. He sees the rise of fame being motivation for pro-heroes lately. They seem real fake to him, and it runs along the lines of Stain’s idea of “false heroes”. But he also sees them as a bunch of buzz kills when he’s trying to ride out and do his own thing that happens to be illegal. (LOL this guy is so problematic in a very headass type of way and it’s really entertaining. He’s a really fun character to read about.)

What do they think about villains?: They’re somewhat easier to work with, but he does not associate himself with hardcore villains either. As much as he himself could easily be considered one, he considers himself more in a grey area. He won’t kill a hero – actually he hesitates to kill anyone – but he won’t turn on a villain either if only because any of them could either arrest him or kill him. (Ah, he’s smarter than he lets on. I wonder how much of this is empathy and how much of this is him saving his own ass,,)

In terms of villains, he’s very much along the lines of “snitches get stitches”. At this point it doesn’t matter what his views are with a villain or a rival gang, he’s not gonna call the cops or any heroes as that is a lower blow than trying to either run or solve the issue on his own. He would rather risk his dignity than call the authorities. 

Is their first reaction to danger: flight or fright?

Depends on the danger. If he knows it’s an even match, he’ll throw fists. If he knows he has no chance, he’ll turn tail (heh) and run. (i’m actually laughing omg stop)

If they had to be stuck on an island with one BNHA character, who would it be and why?

don’t don’t ever give him the option (brO TELL ME)

Favorite holiday and why?

Halloween. As a child he always loved to dress up as his favorite hero. As an adult, he’s more attuned to the day before Halloween as “Mischief Day” and takes “tricks” to the extremes.

Do they have a certain way of dressing/ style?

His wardrobe is casual and lazy punk clothes. He does occasionally sport a bright red jacket with his gang’s logo on the back.

Pet peeves: Assuming his character for his looks (I mean you right but he hates it) (LMFAO I’m trying to give a serious review here and you hitting me with all this lolol)

Favorite food: shrimp tempura and rice

Favorite drink: Pepsi (ayyeee, pepsi > coke)

What is their favorite season/weather?: Summer

What is their sleep schedule like?: Whenever (mood)

Introvert, Extrovert or Ambivert?: Extrovert

Quickest way to upset them?: Pull his tail (I….I’m so tempted)

What type of student were they/are they?: Given that he only went to school so he didn’t have to do community service… he did the bare minimum, still got held back once (got mightily pissed off about it), and left as soon as he turned 18. Will also add that the school he went to was one step closer to juvie.

Superlative that fits them best (class clown, teachers pet, etc): Most Likely Will Be His Own Boss

A song you associate with them: Survival of the Fittest - Robert DeLong

What’s their diet like?: He will inhale anything in front of him, but he has a real fast metabolism

What’s the last thing they ate?: McDonald’s burger combo

Hobbies: riding his motorcycle and sometimes play video games

Guilty Pleasures: I mean. If you got the dokis for a hero and you’re a real anarchist……..

When and what was the last thing that made them cry?: laid in bed one night. like you do. thought about where his life was. wondered where it was going. you know just one of those fun nights. (this got too real too fast and i feel mildly attacked)

General Extras: In general, he is a real neutral guy that doesn’t play sides unless you’re on his specifically. He doesn’t take being talked down to and will even argue his side to keep himself above it all. Even raise fists. But he is impulsive as shit and does not always think his decision through. Definitely not book smart, but strongly street smart and highly confident in his actions. (I get that vibe from everything you’ve said, you summarized it really well and took the words out of my mouth!)

Do you plan on filling out a roleplay form(No pressure if you don’t want to do it, this is more for me so I can keep your forms together if you send in both): nah I’m just curious about this one

Creator Name (that’s you!): Mumzy

Blog name where I can contact you: mumpkins

Did you have fun doing this?! (pls just say yes so my feelings don’t get hurt): I REALLY DID and eventually there came a point where I was literally like “well shit he’s kind of a dumb bastard what else is there”

PLEASE JUST SEND THE ANSWERS DIRECTLY TO ME I DON’T NEED THIS POSTED 8’D

I’ll post it private and send you the link!

*deep inhales* BOI. Shotaro is such an unintentional meme?? Like big crackhead vibes from him like…he’s really just a lil misfit goin around and doing as he pleases,, so much angst in this one like??? (i hope you dont take any offence to this,, i just really like his character lol) he seems pretty factious to me LOL. I like his quirk, simple and easy and his weakness is plausible, no OP oc’s here! His personality really shined through and you portrayed him well. That little paragraph you wrote summarizing him was a really solid description and would be perfect for a character sheet. The only inconsistencies were, at the top you put his age as 17 but in the “what type of student were they” you mentioned him turning 18 but otherwise he is a really solid character! I’m 20 something so I can’t crush on anyone younger than 20 but he’s really… *deep breath* …moving on. I love his personality and the fact that he’s this punk but in reality he’s an impartial dude who is chill unless something offends him or opposes him but he is also very loyal and empathetic, two qualities that I love!

Idk if you wanted questions since this is a private rating but i’ll put some either way and u can choose to fill em out or nah,, i mainly do it to help develop character and its just fun to talk abt oc’s sooo,,

What job do you see him having in the future? He’s not really here no there so i’m interested!

After he drops out of high school, he flat out does not know what to do. As he is familiar with criminal work, he stays to what he knows with his bike gang... and incidentally gets picked up by mob members. He begins as an errand boy for one organized group, but never is he ever initiated as a member. After having been exposed by a variety of assignments from various villains, by the age of 20 he’s doing all kinds of illegal work. He becomes a man for hire in the undergrounds, helping with drug trafficking, enforcement, body guarding, petty thieving, etc. You name it, he’s probably done it.

But that’s only in the dark. To keep himself balanced, he’s also a bar back for a local bar in the sketchy side of town. An honest job when he meets people and can tell them what he does for work without putting off any red flags.

A couple of reasons why he does shady work is not due to enjoyment. Actually, he wishes he never got involved as everyday feels like he’s at risk of getting killed for angering the wrong person. He doesn’t plan ahead of his life only because he could step outside one morning and breathe his last breath. For one thing, his best friend who grew up with him and is part of his gang is in rehab at this point and Kaneda is the only person who he can turn to for help -- by this, Kaneda opts to pay those hospital bills with the quick and astounding amount of money he receives from criminal work. Another reason is plain and simple: once he has done work for one organized criminal group, once his name is spread around the underground as a reliable hire, there’s no way of suddenly dropping that life without risking it all.

Is there anything in particular he does to relax?? Tv, music, hobbies, etc,

The best way he can relax is riding his motorcycle in the late hours of the night. He loves the city, and will speed through until he finds open road where he will just continue to ride until he feels calm again.

If he’s especially frustrated and the steam has built up in his lungs, he will hold it in until he finds a safe spot (preferably home) to release it all and collapse for a while. Yes, his apartment would be a sauna if he doesn’t open his windows.

Sex also helps.

Is he a pessimist or optimist? He’s very unbiased it seems so I wonder what his personal mindset is,,

More of an optimist, but in a way where he prefers to mask sorrow and tension with humor and a lighter perspective. He can’t afford to not be confident, and he tries his damndest to pass that on given the circumstances. “This will work” he would say to an idea he briefly thought of, mostly trusting his gut and hoping that if he passes on the mindset and convinces others of his confidence, then yes in some way things will work out.

But I also say that he’s not very optimistic of his own future (sorry to bring this back). He lives for the moment, but given the life he lives, he does not trust it will be a long one. 

So it’s hard to explain, but he’d more say, “nothing matters in the end; do whatever the hell you want now”.
