#IMAGINE i tell her that pronouns don't equal gender

[giyuulatte]

i had to explain pronouns to my boss yesterday, bless her oml. so basically i have to fix our bulletin board (i work in the history department) and we are doing it the way the english department does it. and on theirs, it has the professors name, what they do, office number, and their pronouns. and one of the professors had they/them pronouns on their description, so she was like "explain this to me" and i did, and she was still confused! and, she thought pronouns had to do with you being gay...now mind you this woman is about 50-60

ok so it basically went like this, but abridged

her: explain this to me me: well instead of saying "he blah blah blah" you would said "they blah blah blah" her: but im only talking about one person?? me:yes, but you would use "they" instead of "he" her:how long has this been around? me: i mean for a while, but it's more accepted so people are more comfortable being themselves her: but why "they" me: well because they don't feel like a "he" or a "she" her: ouu this don't make no sense, as if the world isn't confusing enough. we arent adding pronouns to ours me: oh ok

lol yall think imma get fired if i add pronouns anyway??

the conversations i have with this woman, but i love her she like my second mama

If you could, Lackadaisy headcanons for a teen reader who wants to be part of the Lackadaisy Speakeasy. Maybe the reader likes the thrill

Pronouns used : None, no gendered terms.

Note(s) : When you say teen, I'm assuming young teen since 16-17 is not too far from Freckle and Ivy's age. Characterisation may not be accurate and criticism on how I portray them is very much appreciated.

Roark 'Rocky' Rickaby

Likes your spirit! Jokingly calls you the better cousin he never had which earns an eye roll from Freckle. I don't imagine you get out on missions much + it probably took ages to get in because you're fairly young, but when you do, it's chaos. If you get along with Rocky and even encourage his habits, then either the missions will fail or succeed but with broken limbs, at least three blown up buildings and a lot awkward explaining.

If you're not confident enough to say no and on the opposite spectrum, are sometimes the voice of reason, he calls you a mini Freckle and teases you about it constantly. I imagine he'd sort of becomes an elder brother figure regardless of what kind of a person you are, begging for Mitzi to let you stay even if you mess up often. You accept him for who he is, you're his friend, he wants you to still like him and he sees himself in you.

Rocky also gives you some sneaky sips of alcohol they get, hey, it isn't anything too much, and he compares it to church giving out wine which makes Freckle tremble in fear as his mother senses she needs to throw someone out a window. Besides, he worked hard to get it! Even if he was the one to screw the run around up, it's sharing and caring, friendship is very important.

Mitzi May

Has apprehensions about letting you join, it'd take convincing and by then she probably doesn't want to bring you on too many dangerous missions. Given how she is around Rocky, I don't think she'd be uncaring if you're similar to him. High spirits and an urge to please her, similar to the man in question, to her, you're a kid. She has trouble telling you no in a way that isn't tip toeing around the subject.

Even if you can also be useful and your begging is temptation straight from the snake, Mitzi will always tell others you're a kid and treat you like one, no matter if it's important or not in that situation. She feels horrible that you may not make it to the next day, but they're understaffed and need to get business up and running, Mitzi comes to think of you like her own after a while. Although, she wishes you weren't so eager to put your life on the life.

Ivy Pepper

I imagine she also loves your spirit, finds you adorable and will have the urge to become your friend, asking Mitzi to let you join and vouching for you. Ivy is also the only one to treat you on equal ground, even Rocky will just view you as a child in the end, but she tries viewing you as a friend first. This can he bad or good depending, but she doesn't want to pretend you're frail, this doesn't mean she won't crack down on you and be strict like an older sister.

Doesn't matter if you have two left feet and stumble, she will teach you to dance, you won't get out of it, and trust me when I tell you she's determined. The lessons consist of you stepping on her toes and laughing so hard you just fall on the ground.

Since she's fairly new to doing heavy jobs as well, only joining in as they are understaffed, she understands if you mess up sometimes and don't fully get what to do. Ivy was born into this life and teaches you the ropes that you wouldn't understand.

Calvin 'Freckle' McMurray

Uncomfortable to the max, he genuinely can't even look you in the eye for the longest time. He already had worries in joining himself, Ivy has been working in Lackadaisy for a long time, Rocky is... Uh, Rocky. But you? You're a literal teen who just likes the thrill of it, Freckle tries to be a good influence on your life and tells you not to join. Which he understands is incredibly hypocritical, but at the same time, he can't find it in himself to care about his hypocrisy too much.

Hopes to convince Mitzi to not put too much pressure on you, he is very attentive and any limp or struggle is met with a lecture that makes Rocky get flashbacks to Freckle's mother. Gets incredibly apologetic if you see him with guns and how insane he can be, regardless on how you feel, he's guilty that he may be influencing you badly.

Viktor Vasko

At first you thought he wanted you to die, an intense stare placed on you at all times with a smashed glass from his seemingly violent thoughts. But all he sees is a dumb kid, someone who needs to get out before this business kills you. He won't exactly be caring about it either, simply telling you that if you continue being reckless with your life, you will die. If you aren't careful? Maybe others you love.

It's worse if you end up bonding with him, even a little, he gets even angrier with those around you. He will not let you out of his sight if he can help it. Essentially? He's a very tough love guy, Viktor comes off as though he doesn't like you, which may be true on the surface, but deeeeeeeeep deeeeeeeeep down, he likes you a little. Maybe. Sometimes. Not often.

# MY DIABOLIK LOVERS HEADCANONS ! lgbtq+ edition

⊹ characters : shu, reiji, ayato, laito, kanato, subaru, yui

⊹ warnings : suggestive content

⊹ note : these are my headcanons and my way of looking at things, if you don't agree that's totally ok !! feel free to put your opinions in comments

⊹ ˖ ﾟ. SHU SAKAMAKI

you can’t tell me that this man isn’t bisexual. he clearly has a bisexual energy, everyone can agree.

i feel that he’s more into big girls and big guys ( yes i’m talking about yuuma ). he just loves it.

we all know that he likes to look at the girls who pass in front of him, but once he looked at a man and he was like "damn."

i don't think he has a particular preference between men and women. he loves both equally, romantically and sexually.

for his gender i think he's cisgender man, but he doesn't care what you call him or what you use for his pronouns. he, she, they, xem, use whatever you want, just don't disturb him while he listens to his music.

⊹ ˖ ﾟ. REIJI SAKAMAKI

the first time i saw reiji, i said to myself " this man is a homosexual " and was i wrong ? i don’t think so.

i couldn't really explain why, it's just an energy that comes out of him.

because of his father, he has always imagined himself ending his life with a woman that his father chose for him to continue the lineage, even if he is not attracted to her. ( denial is a river in egypt, your husband is gay ! )

i don't have the impression that he is really attracted to women ? of course he finds women attractive, beautiful especially in corsets, but it’s a purely aesthetic attraction.

i think reiji’s type would be a person like Ruki. He has good manners, intelligent, strategic, sadistic, a handsome and charming man with a bratty temperament.

for his gender i would say cisgender or demiboy.

he/they pronouns for sure.

⊹ ˖ ﾟ. AYATO SAKAMAKI

i like to say that ayato is the definition of a cisgender heterosexual male, but actually i think he is bisexual.

he has a preference for women, but he can't stop looking at men.

every time he finds himself looking at a man's tits for a second too long, he turns his head sharply and acts as if nothing had happened. ( *cough* yuuma *cough* )

to come back to his gender, i think he is cisgender man. but i had seen once the headcanon of someone who said he was a trans man ( ftm ) and i really like this headcanon !

⊹ ˖ ﾟ. KANATO SAKAMAKI

for me he’s unlabeled ,kanato is attracted by pretty people, feminine, with delicate features, who look like dolls ,preferably smaller than him ( he’s insecure by their height do not judge them )

gender doesn't really matter to them.

for his gender, they’re non-binary ( or maybe genderfluid ) kanato has never really fit into the male gender stereotypes, either by his personal interests or by his physique. ( they uses he/they pronouns )

compared to his brothers, they’re short, slim, feminine face with big eyes, not very "masculine" looking. he doesn't give a damn, he wears what he likes and identifies himself as he wants, if people don't agree with him, then die.

⊹ ˖ ﾟ. LAITO SAKAMAKI

pansexual man. i will not say more. ( jk )

the gender or sex of the person does not matter to him, he sleeps with everyone, kisses everyone and flirts with everyone.

but i like to think that laito is asexual.

cisgender man, but he likes to see himself more like a concept or a disaster ( twins 🤞🏻)

uses any pronouns.

⊹ ˖ ﾟ. SUBARU SAKAMAKI

at first i would have said cisgender heterosexual man

he is mainly attracted to women, but sometimes he can't help but wonder about men.

when he sees a pretty boy, he starts to question his sexuality ( *cough* kou *cough* )

for his gender i would say a classic cisgender man with he/him pronouns

but subaru is the biggest ally ever. he will never tell his brothers but he will always defend their sexuality and gender.

⊹ ˖ ﾟ. YUI KOMORI

and the best for last !

she gives me mainly bisexual cis girl vibes.

for me, she’s the kind of person who finds women more easily pretty than boys, or just says to herself when a pretty girl passes by " oh ! she is very pretty"

i think she doesn't realize her attraction to women. for her, it's not a romantic or sexual attraction. she’s in denial because of the environment she grew up in.

she’s like " do i want to be like her or do i want to be with her ? "

sometimes she wonders why her heart was beating so fast when her classmate gave her such a soft smile. but she tries not to wonder too much.

but i like to think that she’s a lesbian 😞 ( i just want her to go away from the diaboys and get married to a woman please )

[wheat-angel]

Questions 1-5 from the Casual Ask Game for Wheatley if he doesn't mind (@dzvagabond)

(Thank you for the ask @dzvagabond ! You're also giving me the chance to answer this with the two different Wheatley's that I F/O. >:3c)

1. Well, go on, introduce yourself!

Oh bloody- THAT'S what I was forgetting to do yesterday! Sorry sorry, I'll get on with that now.

'Ello there! I'm Wheatley Merchant. Here's a picture of me Ry drew.

(Ignore the date that's wrong now whoops)

Uhhh I'm not sure what else to tell you other than what's on that reference, honestly, kinda already covers a lot, yeah? I mean, obviously I'm the one on the left right now. But that's a given. I suppose th@t'S mE-

...uH, 'eLl0?

'Ello?

Oh! Hi there. Sorry had to connect in to see the question- Oh I thought I forgot something! Well, let me do that now: My name is Wyatt Lee. Sector- Nope, not the MCA, Lee.

Uh, 'scuse me. Force of habit, MCA is where I work y'see. J-Just call me Lee. Anyways, I have a drawing of me and Rylan that she drew... Ah! Found it!

Uh, let's see, I'm 7'0- Yes I'm serious and yes the weather is good up here- and as you can see I'm an android. I'm pansexual and use He/Him pronouns. Uh, I think that's all the basics? Let's see, what's next?

(The rest of Lee's responses will be Purple for the sake of ease.)

2. So, how have you and (Rylan) been? What have you two been up to recently?

Been good! Not really much of note being honest. Except Halloween recently, but we just kinda cuddled and ate candy.

Great! The only thing I can think of is we went to a work party for Halloween with some co-workers/friends. Ry's been going out more and more so I can go to a few parties which I appreciate. I personally love em, but I promise I pay it back in full by equally spending time inside with her. And even if they don't wanna go that's OK too!

3. How did you and (Rylan) meet anyways? What was that first encounter like?

...Back in Aperture. Yeahhh that's uh. I don't think I really need to describe the first encounter besides we were in a bad situation and trying to get out of it. So uh. Skip.

It was when Rylan first started working for the MCA. They got scared shitless when they heard my voice for the first time. Nearly jumped a full foot off the ground... Then apologized when they saw me and said "Sorry, you just sounded like a friend I had." Uh, I kinda didn't get it then, but looking back, they were talking about their Wheatley from their world.

4. So, like, how is (Rylan) as a person?

Ohhh where to begin? She's just- They're so amazing y'know? I mean, they're the whole package of kind, generous, steadfast in her morals, loyal, funny... And she is... So beautiful to me. In like- A She AND gender-neutral way? Anyways, honestly, couldn't ask for more.

Well, I mean, what's not to love? She's smarter than she gives herself credit for, they'll be patient with me, well except for when I'm taking my time heheh. That's- That's a joke. Just teasing. Anywho- honestly I love them for the kindness they got, and the moral compass... Plus their laugh is EVERYTHING to me.

...Also, bonus points for being damn pretty. Like my god- They are a fucking knockout.

5. Any upcoming plans with (Rylan)? Like in the next coming week or even month maybe?

Christmas! And uh- otherwise that's kinda it. Nothing really planned.

Oh, just Christmas. And since we went to a Christmas work party last year, and we didn't go to the Halloween one that year... Yeah you can imagine where I'm heading with this one- doing vice versa this year. Though before holidays come to give us our off days, Ry is trying to figure out presents for our close group friends from work. I mean, I am too. One of them is really hard to shop for- *cough cough* Emmerson *cough* -but we'll get through it and then we're scot free to cuddle up during the holidays.

[hadesoftheladies]

everyone please give a hand to these three great examples of the kinds of anti-feminists i am talking about! thank you very much, very good, very good. thank you for the show! exit stage left and watch your step. :)

now let's play back the highlights!

worth-beyond-a-number said: "You chide "men" (or at least people you view as men) for calling out your fake feminism as gender essentialist, and then you do exactly that, calling men inherently evil right after claiming radical feminism isn't founded upon hating anyone you deem a man or too masculine for you." What a stunning demonstration of awful reading comprehension. Stellar, stellar! If you look at what I said for more than two seconds, you will find that I did not claim men are inherently evil and that my post was not a response to a callout. This user is very skillful in imagining scenarios! She/they re-imagined the entire history of radical feminism, too. That, or this user is very ignorant of it.

worth-beyond-a-number goes on to make baseless accusations such as that I, a gender atheist, am somewhat also a gender essentialist (of which this user seems to not know the original meaning of the term, preferring the convenient post-structuralist definition which is ultimately nonsensical). You heard it first here, folks! Gender atheists enforce gender! Vegetarians can also eat meat! She/they also claims, "You don't actually give a shit about any of these issues when you only address those issues as long as it's done to a cis woman. Your "feminism" isn't real feminism and not against men when your entire personality and "activism" is about hating men and wishing death upon them." WOAH THERE FOLKS. More unfounded claims! She/they's on fire tonight! I wonder if she thinks the women in Iran are being beaten and raped because they go by she/her pronouns? Curious! "You're not for equality when you believe that sexism is inherently worse than all other forms of oppression and decide to put yourself at the top of an oppression hierarchy that shouldn't even exist." THERE'S THE ZINGER! Okay, let's define "worse" shall we? We can define worse qualitatively or quantitatively. Not really interested in the qualitative discussion, since suffering is subjectively experienced and should be dignified regardless, so let's look at the scale. Uh oh, what do you know about it folks? She/they's right! Sexism ISN'T inherently worse than all other forms of oppression . . . but MISOGYNY IS! It is the longest, widest, most expansive, most global, oldest, form of human oppression! And would you look at that folks? It's SEX BASED! Woah! Let's hope this user develops a taste for history, facts and data.

"And your inclusion of "autogynephiles" as "a great harm against the women of the world!" is a fucking joke." Just wait until she/they hears the self-admitted testimonies of autogynephiles and sees their portfolios! She/they will be impressed!

And let's not forget pinkie's contribution to the live demonstration of misogyny and anti-feminism in action! "there are MANY cisgender women who are teachers, and who prey on little boys in the schools they work in, and traumatize them. Does that suddenly make the women men, and the boys girls?" WOW! I MEAN JUST WOW. Spectacular performance of incompetence here guys. Tell you what folks, if you can spot the part in my paragraph where I said that what makes men, well, men, is their masculinity or their predatory behavior, I will give you 100 million dollars!

And the finishing touch by scentedluminarysoul! "radfems/terfs are predators and attackers, through and through. They don’t care for victims, ever. They just HATE." Great show, scented! And are the predator terfs with us in the room right now? :)

OH MY, LOOK AT THE TIME! IT'S TIME TO WRAP UP. Aww, I know. We'd hate to see you go. But before you do, you lovely people, let's recap.

- People who see feminism as anti-man will always show themselves to be anti-woman and misogynistic. If you see someone respond to feminist human rights crises with "but what about the men" they are anti-women and anti-feminist, which are the same! That was the point, which these three guests have gladly demonstrated for you.

-Gender atheism is a lack of belief in gender, which few TRAs can comprehend. I do not feel threatened by masculinity since it doesn't exist. Many TRAs also confuse disagreeing with the belief as . . .phobia for some confounded reason. But you and I know, folks, we know that if I don't believe in Allah and criticize Islam, that doesn't make me someone who wants to kill Muslims for being Muslims! It means I have observational skills and I use them to make judgements about the world. The only people who are dangerous in this equation, are those that are fanatics to the point that they dehumanize whoever disagrees with them and even threaten them with death! Much like these lovely folks polluting my reblogs with reactionary drivel. Beware people who threaten you with murder and rape for thinking! :)

-If you believe men are a neutral political group, and the penis is a culturally neutral symbol, you're probably dumb as rocks . . . or a man. I'm sorry either way. :)

-The human rights crises described here (male rape/pedophilia victims, lgbt rights, women's rights) are ALL sex-based issues. Women, that is, female humans, are sexually abused, socially stigmatized, and economically disadvantaged on the basis of their femaleness. Gay, lesbian and bisexual people are killed, tortured, abused and oppressed on the basis of their SAME-SEX attraction. Rape is a sexual crime committed disproportionately by MALES because of the access and opportunity their SEX gives them in a society biased to that sex, whether socially or physically. Women can commit crimes, but they differ in quantity (and oftentimes motive) to men. Trans issues and identity are all predicated on the need to transition or appear as a different SEX, or there would be no need for the distinction between "trans" and "cis" (do you even know the gender lore?). Gender is a social role or stereotype associated with a sex, hence, gender essentialism, is the necessitating of those roles and stereotypes to their corresponding sexes. This is something conservatives and trans activists do. They insist that a woman is not female (or not just female) and a man is not male (or not just male) and that other magical qualities like femininity and masculinity (which really come down to clothes and genderless, sexless personality traits) are somehow innate to sex, which is unscientific, magical nonsense. So congrats on agreeing with conservative straights, I guess :) I however, don't have that problem!

-If I criticize rape, patriarchy, misogyny, sexual abuse, the fetishization of femaleness, porn culture, pedophilia and pedo culture, the harassment of women and girls, the global and historic exploitation of women . . . and your initial response is to defend men or transpeople AND belittle and demean the suffering of women and girls around the world? What does that make you and show about who you think the people you're defending are? :)

Goodnight all! You've been lovely!

the fact that men believe feminism (or anything feminist-esque) is about being anti-man (like men are such neutral, benevolent, benign creatures) tells me all i need to know about who men are

if you're mad at feminism for shedding light on rapists, domestic violence, pedophiles, porn-head predators, groomers, autogynephiles, sex slavery and human trafficking, the exploitation of women and girls, fgm, medical malpractice against women and girls, religious burnings, torture of females, femicide . . . all of which NO OTHER MOVEMENT HAS DONE ON NEARLY THE SAME SCALE BTW . . .

guess what that makes you?

[antique-symbolism]

Your bio says pronouns unclear but what do you prefer, if you don't mind me asking?

Pronouns is always an interesting question to be asked because normally I will tell people she/they and then they'll exclusively use they/them for me. Which I understand is probably because anyone I'll comfortably come out to as nonbinary is probably the sort of person who is aware enough of trans issues to think oh then Juliana probably gets she/her'd plenty because that's their assigned gender at birth and some people just don't want to make the effort to see a nuance there, I'll go with they/them to respectfully balance things out for them

Which is very cash money and considerate of them but there is a difficult-to-define and possibly arbitrary and imagined difference in my mind between being she/her'd by someone who doesn't give a shit about acknowledging that I'm non-binary and being she/her'd by someone who knows and respects that I am.

So in a nutshell the answer is still I like she/her and they/them equally but I REALLY want people to understand that she/her is not something I settle for, it is something I actually vibe with

There's also a whole lot to be added in the veins of "I wish xe was an intuitive pronoun because it slaps but I would only want to use it if everybody actually understood it" and "I wonder what he/him would feel like but nobody uses it and since I'm not sure I don't want to ask anyone to use it then go to the trouble of recanting my request for its use if it doesn't vibe"

This is all clearly very wordy to express which is why I usually go for the briefer and almost just as true statement "I don't care which pronouns you use"

Thank you for asking and giving me a chance to express the full story!

[alastanor]

Thanks for tagging me @thalfox this took me a long time to finish, and I'm gonna be dog tired in the morning, but it was worth it. Lol. Hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.

1 • What is your MC’s name? What is their name origin? What does it mean (if it ever has a meaning).

❄ Eirlys is Welsh for "Snowdrop" and it is pronounced as either Eye-r-liss, or Aye-r-liss. Depending on which part of Wales you hear the name.

2 • When is their birthday? How old are they? What about their zodiac sign? (bonus point if you give their rising or even their birth/natal chart)

♋ She was born March 10th, and she is a Pisces.

As for her age, this one has more to do with RAD. RAD stands for Royal Academy of Diavolo. An academy, if you search the definition, is typically a school of higher learning or secondary education. Like a college, if you will. But Academy doesn't always refer to a sort of college. In some cases, it can also apply to a High School. My theory is that RAD is a mixture of both. A sort of college, but with hints of High School-esque scheduling and culture. Or perhaps it can function as both. I tend to lean toward the latter, in which case I make Eirlys somewhere between 20 and 23 years old.

3 • What is your MC’s gender? And what are their sexual/romantic preferences?

Eirlys identifies primarily as female with she/her pronouns. She is demisexual, and considers herself panromantic. However, she puts a heavy emphasis on romance.

(Me personally, I don't mind they/them pronouns though I typically identify with she/her. I am also demisexual but biromantic.)

4 • What is your MC’s race? (human, demon, angel, other). If human, what are their nationality and origins?

💁‍♀️Eirlys is human. As for nationality, origins, heritage, etc... Eirlys grew up in Japan, though she herself is not ethnically Japanese.

5 • Before coming to Devildom, what was their occupation? (job, studies…)

📖 Eirlys worked part time in her school's library while attending classes full time at a college overseas.

6 • Height? Weight? Describe their body type.

Eirlys is 5'3" (160 cm) and roughly 110 lbs (49.8 kgs). Her body type would best be described as a triangle/pear shape (slim chest, breasts on the smaller side, while body widens out into voluptuous hips).

7 • Who is/are your MC’s love interest(s) (if they ever have one). Summarise their dynamic.

💛 Eirlys found Mammon irritating when she first met him, and became increasingly frustrated at how he looked down on her for being a human. But over time, as she got to know him, she came to enjoy his conversation and his company. He made her laugh, and despite being a demon he was so full of energy and life that Eirlys found not just refreshing but endearing. Before long, she realized she had fallen in love with him despite the protests of his brothers regarding her taste in men.

🧡 Leviathan was another of the brothers Eirlys found infuriating, not just in how he also looked down on her for being human, but how often he whined and complained about seemingly everything when they first met. But like Mammon, the more she got to know him, the more she found she had in common with Leviathan. Falling asleep on his shoulder watching anime with him in his room, or enjoying his company while playing games, has made it increasingly difficult not to love him in some capacity even if she loves Mammon more. Because of this, she allows Leviathan to believe she would never be interested in him. As cruel as that might be for both of them.

💜 Belphegor, on the other hand, she is fully aware of how he feels about her. She keeps it platonic between them, because even though she has forgiven him for his deceit and his attempt to kill her not once- but twice, she cannot forget it. The memory sours any thoughts of being more than just friends. Somewhere deep in his heart, she is sure Belphie knows this. And deeply regrets it.

8 • Does your MC have any specific appearance features? (Scars, marks, anything else)

She has skin pale as fresh snow, fluffy light pink hair like sweet cotton candy, and clear pale celeste blue/aquamarine colored eyes.

Beyond this, there is nothing remotely remarkable or striking about her.

9 • Does your MC have any disabilities? (physical, mental health, etc). How do they deal with it?

Eirlys has suffered some trauma in the past which has led to some issues. Don't want to give too much away as I am in the process of writing a fic.

10 • How do you imagine your MC’s voice? Describe it.

Her voice is gentle and light. Silvery, dulcet tones might be a good way to describe it. Her voice will get rather harsh and stentorian if she is angry enough.

11 • Does your MC have any tattoos or piercings? Just tell us more about it!

She has pierced ears on her lobes, she was never brave enough to get any in the cartilage as much as she wanted them. Her skin reacts badly to many kinds of metals, a kind of skin allergy, so she can never keep piercings in for very long.

12 • Describe their clothing style (if they have a favorite style). Do they have specific accessories Bonus question: how do they wear RAD uniform?

To sum it up, Eirlys dresses in typically classic chic style with a touch of hipster or grunge here and there.

For her uniform, Eirlys keeps it looking crisp and sleek. These would be good examples. Of fashion types and how she wears her uniform.

The RAD uniform images, the not quite RAD uniform one on the right, I thought the skirt may be more in line with what the uniform used. Versus the pencil skirt-esque look on the left. The boots on the right would also be more akin to what Eirlys would wear.

Is your MC able to use magic? If so, are they skilled? How do they learn? Were they able to use it before coming to Devildom?

🔮 Eirlys is still learning about her abilities, abilities that have not fully awoken though they had been stirred when Solomon allowed her to use his powers. Using his powers was like the catalyst to tapping into a yet untapped wellspring. Though the water from that wellspring has yet to fully come forward.

Before that, Eirlys fully believed she was just another unremarkable human with nothing special about her, as Lucifer often said.

14 • Describe your MC’s parents (names, jobs, personalities). Do they have any siblings? What is their relationship with their family?

🎀 From what Eirlys knows of her parents through stories, her parents loved one another very much. Her mother had been her father's first love in college, and years later they had her. However, when she was still very young her family had been killed by a reckless drunk driver while visiting other family. Eirlys was taken in by her aunt, who worked as a fashion consultant in Tokyo.

15 • How many languages do they speak? Which ones?

🀄 English and Japanese, though she is wanting to learn how to read Devilish and Celestial.

16 • What is their relationship with each brother?

I already mentioned Mammon, Levi, and Belphie above. So I will leave them out here.

🖤 Lucifer - When Eirlys first met Lucifer, she didn't know what to make of him. All she knew was that he was intimidating and likely very dangerous. It took a lot of time for her to not only come to trust Lucifer and feel safe around him, but to like him and understand his motives behind his methods. But Lucifer was never her type, and instead she looks to him now like a younger sister to a reliable older brother. Even if that older brother can be mildly sadistic in his teasing.

💚 Satan - After being introduced to Satan, Eirlys did find him attractive and was excited to find another bookworm even here among all the demons. However, after she was introduced to Satan and came to find Satan smiled when he was angry, she found communicating with him equally as intimidating as Lucifer's threats. Trying to figure out when he was angry and when he was genuinely happy really did a number on her anxiety, and eventually kept her from really communicating with him overmuch for an extended length of time. It wasn't until later that she tried getting to know him better, and coming to find the source of all his anger. That information became the catalyst and foundation to their continuously building and growing friendship.

❤ Beelzebub - Beel has ever been the sweet one, even if he was a bit more distant when they first met. Beel was never outright cold or condescending to Eirlys, and the closer they became the sweeter he became. Before long, she found just how considerate and gentle Beel truly was. Despite this, Beel never appealed to her romantically. Instead, much like Lucifer, she looks to Beel as a gentle and reliable brother of sorts.

💗 Asmodeus - His penchant for lechery always threw Eirlys off balance, being the non-sexual type. When she first met him and found he was the Avatar of Lust, her first instinct was to keep ten yards between them at all times. Asmodeus was the wild card in the deck of seven for Eirlys, because though he has tendencies toward the egotistical side, she can never fully peg him. Even after getting to know him and forming a bond with him. Asmodeus, she found, has ever been able to tell when something he did was making her uncomfortable. He never pushed cuddling beyond what Eirlys wanted it to be or was comfortable with, even if he joked occasionally about doing it naked.

17 • What is their relationship with each side characters?

🐕 Luke: She was rather bemused upon meeting Luke, and seeing him standing in contrast to Simeon lit an amused glint within her eyes. Perhaps it was because he was an angel, but Eirlys bonded with Luke rather quickly. Though she cannot say she likes everything about the child-like angel, as his anti-demon sentiment has grated on her the more she has bonded with the boys (it has grown more half-hearted recently), but she counts Luke among the few within the three realms she can fully rely on.

🕊 Simeon: He was always rather mesmerizing for Eirlys, in ways the demons weren't. Perhaps it was the mystery that surrounded him despite being such a beautiful angel. His eyes, so striking against his features, were particularly what drew her in. Whenever she speaks with Simeon, she cannot help but smile. Despite all this, she has closed her heart off to anything beyond friendship with Simeon. Perhaps because she already has feelings for Mammon and more complicated ones for Leviathan, or perhaps because she feels a relationship with an angel would be too out of bounds for a human like her. Maybe both. Either way, she considers Simeon a very dear friend.

🦋 Solomon: He was one Eirlys didn't think much of when she first met him, though she was rather jealous of his abilities. She did slowly think of him in more friendly terms, however there was always something about him she didn't fully trust. Solomon has ever been the Cheshire Cat to her Alice.

🏵 Diavolo: Eirlys doesn't really have a very strong opinion one way or the other about him. Though the mere fractions of a moment she has spent getting to know him, the more she finds her opinion shifting to the positive. He has demonstrated himself to be incredibly thoughtful, compassionate (for a demon), and mature each time. Even if he hides it behind a constantly smiling face.

🐉 Barbatos: A mysterious and handsome face. This was the first thought that entered Eirlys's mind when she first met Barbatos. But after learning of his abilities and seeing them in action, Barbatos has bypassed all other demons in the intimidation department and landed himself firmly on the "never piss off under any circumstances" list.

Not exactly an accurate graph, but it's the best I can do restricted to mobile.

18 • What is your MC’s main hobbies and passions?

♥️ Her hobbies include: reading, music, dancing (hip hop and the like), anime, manga, video games, dramas, and movies (except horror, because she is a little chicken shit and will be the first to admit it).

���️ She has a passion for dancing and singing, though she isn't good enough by any means to be considered professional, and typically her singing and dancing has been in rooms alone, in the shower, or driving alone in her car (in the human world).

She also has a big love for stories, especially fantasy and romance. Be they in books, movies, anime/manga, or dramas.

19 • Why did they end up in Devildom in the first place? What happened to them?

An email went out to all the students of high school and college age, explaining the exchange program with a world long thought to be a mere myth stemmed from religion, and nothing more. Those interested in participating could apply and send in their application for consideration. Anyone not interested could simply disregard the email. It explained a deadline, details and requirements for application, along with signing an agreement form explaining the rules of conduct within the Devildom. It was surprisingly thorough and organized for a simple email.

Eirlys was intrigued, but a part of her thought it was just an elaborate prank. Over the next few weeks, she heard more and more about people who had put in an application and eventually she too relented and sent in an application. Though her application was sent right at the last minute. Almost literally.

20 • What is your MC’s MBTI type?

ENFJ

21 • Do they have a pact with each bro? Do they often use their pacts? In which situations?

Yes, she has a pact with each brother. And each pact has left it's mark on her. However, she refuses to use her pacts unless she absolutely has to. Though there are times when she has used them out of anger (think "sit, boy!" from Inuyasha).

22 • What is their favorite place in Devildom?

Her room, the music room, and the Royal Library. Though there is an odd beauty to the old Colliseum when it is empty.

23 • Which sin fits them the most?

This one is difficult, but if I had to pick one I would say Pride or Envy.

24 • Describe their personality.

Eirlys is a rather compassionate and kind person with a passion for life and a fierce loyalty to her select group of friends. She is a genuine, honest, and caring individual and a passionate altruist. Sometimes even to a fault, and she is unlikely to be afraid to take the slings and arrows while standing up for the people and ideas she believes in.

Eirlys won't turn down an opportunity to spend time with those she cares about, even if that means going to social gatherings she would otherwise not attend on her own.

Despite all this, Eirlys can sometime be too idealistic or even selfless to a fault. She is prone to fluctuating self-esteem and may ask for praise or criticism out of insecurity, more than anything else. What's more, some criticisms can be easy for Eirlys to take to heart. Allowing it to further chip away at her self-confidence.

25 • What is their moral alignment?

Neutral good.

26 • Does your MC possess an object/something especially dear to their heart?

No, not really...

27 • Which character(s) do they consider as their best friend(s)?

If Mammon doesn't count considering he is the love interest, then I would have to say Levi and Beel.

28 • Choose a song that fits your MC.

Fight Song by Rachel Platten

29 • What are your MC’s religious beliefs?

Eirlys considered herself Agnostic, with some leaning toward Earthy religions. She had no beliefs in Heaven or Hell, so when she received her invitation that was rather eye opening.

30 • Describe what is inside your MC’s school bag.

Text books, notebooks, mechanical pencils, pens, highlighters, a zip bag for those things, reading books, calculator, and other generic school necessities.

31 • Describe their appearance (pic refs are ofc allowed).

♣️ Eirlys generally has fluffy waves of light pink hair that falls in cascades to the middle of her back, clear celeste blue / aquamarine eyes (haven't fully decided which), and snowy pale skin. She is not very tall, and has a triangle-shaped figure. Her fashion sense typically aligns with classic chic with a touch of hipster and grunge or street punk depending on her mood. And how she wears her uniform typically reflects this fashion sense as well, as her uniform typically looks rather crisp and pristine compared to the demon she loves.

Otherwise the other best examples I have are these images, one from a webcomic on Tappytoons.

The top image is probably as close as I can get, with the changes being thicker hair and eyes that are more blue like the girl in the images below. There is also the matter of her bangs being what curls inward as opposed to the tufts of hair beside her ears. The girl below, her hair is a bit too curly, though and her bangs aren't right. Plus the tufts on the side of her face down curl against her cheeks enough like the images above. But beyond all that, this is as close to an example of what my MC looks like. How she wears her uniform is portrayed above.

I could be way off the mark here so take what I say with a grain of salt and understand that I only speak from personal experience and the knowledge I have of others in similar situations but as a amab genderfluid/NB individual (whichever you prefer, I feel like Genderfluid is inclusive to at times being NB but I list both) I am often defaulted to he/him a LOT, with some of my closer friends using they/them for me but I almost never if ever get she/her.

I was once told "you're just a man to me" and it shows that this is how a lot of people view me. It's easy to see me as someone who often has facial hair or who dresses in "traditionally masc styles" and just default to he/him.

It's especially telling when people who at one point did refer to me as they/them revert back to exclusively he/him pronouns.

The truth is that I feel like when people hear genderfluid or NB they imagine afab individuals. Those are the socially acceptable ones, and you know I got nothing against afab genderfluid/NB individuals; especially considering a LOT of them get the same treatment of being defaulted to she/her. I've just noticed that "Androgynous" actually means "kind of feminine presenting but in a tomboy way" and for whatever reason a lot of people think Genderfluid/NB individuals owe them androgyny.

I think in the end the original statement is basically "if I go by multiple pronouns/any pronouns, using the opposite of my assigned gender at birth is validating to the fact you see me as something beyond my birth gender."

I don't expect someone to be able to deduce whether I'm feeling more he/him or she/her today, which is why I generally say I go by any but tell people that they/them works fine. It's not that I don't like being referred to as he/him, there are days when I prefer it, when I specifically want to be referred to as such. However when it's all you ever hear, and it's clear it's all people see in you, it's rough.

Ideally people would refer to me pretty much equally by any/all pronouns. However realistically it's more likely I will be he/him'd all the way to my funeral.
