#This could totally be interpreted as transfem reader

I got a skirt a while ago and felt inspired to write smt for it 🫶🫶 I just KNOW Gaz is the biggest hype man

Fluff, gn reader

You sit impatiently on the couch waiting for your boyfriend to arrive. It's been almost three weeks since you'd seen him last, and you have something to show him.

Your hands play with the bottom of the skirt you bought recently. It sits in your lap, unworn and fresh out of the dryer. It's been years since you last wore something traditionally feminine, unless you count the crop tops you had hidden away in your closet. You can't deny the anxiety creeping into the corners of your mind. For the past few weeks, butterflies have made a home in your stomach.

What if you don't look good in it? What if you don't like it?

What if Kyle doesn't like it?

Your whirlwind of anxious thoughts is interrupted by the opening of the front door.

Kyle steps in, a long sigh escaping him. He lets his bag hit the floor, relief flooding his body at the sight of your shared home. There's nothing in the world that he'd rather do right now than be here, home, with you.

"Love? I'm home," he calls out into the house. Unsurprisingly, you come bounding out of the living room to leap into his arms, the skirt left abandoned on the couch for the moment.

His strong arms wrap around your torso as he buries his face into your neck. "Feels good to be back. Missed you," he mumbles into your skin as you plant gentle kisses on his cheek.

The two of you stand like that for what feels like hours. Eventually you pull back, softly cupping his face in your hands as you look into his eyes. The adoring and lovesick look that he gives you is enough to make your face warm up. You decide now is as good a time as ever to mention the skirt that you'd left waiting on the couch.

You plant a soft kiss to his lips, your head suddenly feeling light as the anxiety kicks back in. "Ky? You remember how I mentioned that I wanted to start wearing more feminine clothing?"

He hums in acknowledgment, raising an eyebrow at your sudden change in demeanor. You let go of him for a moment to retrieve the skirt from the couch.

"Well, while you were away," you hold up the skirt for him to see "I might have bought a little something?" You grin nervously at him, waiting for some kind of rejection, or for him to tell you that you shouldn't wear it.

Instead, his face lights up. "Dove, that's- it's gorgeous," he gawks at it.

"Well? You should put it on! Give me a show, doll." he grins at you, planting a kiss to your forehead as he ushers you to the bathroom to try it on.

In the bathroom, you take a minute to admire it as you put it on. It's simple, yet still eye-catching. A plain black skirt that goes halfway down your thighs once it's fully on.

You step out of the bathroom and shyly walk over to Kyle. He whistles at you, beaming like a little kid who was just given candy.

"Well, well, well, who is this? Didn't know we had such a smokeshow in the house." He grabs your hand and lifts it, twirling you around once. You preen under his gaze, and you can't help but giggle at his antics. Why were you ever so nervous?

"I take it you're a fan?" You playfully tease.

"The biggest. The real question is, do you like it?" He asks, moving his hands to hold you by the waist.

You think about it for a minute, then nod.

"Good. Hope to see you in it more often," he whispers in your ear. He starts showering your face in kisses, running his hands down the length of your skirt. You fake your annoyance as you swat Kyle's hands away from the bottom of your skirt.

"Quit it," you scold him, your voice full of affection. You can't help the way your heart soars when he engulfs you in his arms, still staring at you with boyish adoration.

Needless to say, you both loved the skirt.

Lol no bad blood. I appreciate the added context and stuff. I was talking just generally commenting on harmless headcannons and fun posts people in the fandom make.

There’s a lot of nuance to criticism, and I feel it was obvious I wasn’t saying all criticism makes you a bad person or is unneeded, but I appreciate you adding on specifics.

To clear things up, my post was about fan works and personal headcannons that are wholly harmless and do nothing to damage the image of the characters in general. (Ie. Trans Cater, Jamil’s EXTREME fannon fear of bugs, and like you said transfem Vil).

Specifically I’m talking about the self insert/x reader content on here, because it gets a whole lot of hate for no reason!

My point still stands that it’s no one’s responsibility but your own to curate your fandom experience. If you want to interact with posts and point out things that could be harmful, that’s up to you.

The takeaway isn’t “you should never criticize things ever,” because that’s such a stupid way of thinking. The takeaway is to let fun things be fun and not take everything in fandom spaces so seriously. As a fanfic writer, I see criticisms of what is supposed to be lighthearted stuff all the time.

However, saying Vil is racist is a very harmful headcannon and actually excuses racism in a way by using Vil as an excuse to say racist shit. (Wether intentional or not). Shit like Leona is nothing but a womanizing, heartless asshole is also incredibly harmful and misses the nuance in his character (which I try my best to highlight when I write him!!!). That stuff is absolutely something that should be called out, and is important to discuss civilly.

As for the official stuff, I could go on and on and on about it. As an East Asian Studies student (specifically within politics and society) I am far too familiar with how Japanese people use weaponized incompetence to get away with being racist (this isn’t the best term, but it’s the easiest to understand). Trust me, criticizing twst team and Disney is HIGHLY important, and I always advocate for it.

My post specifically, though, is not about any of that! It’s about the needless hate to fanfic writers just trying to have a good time, and I’m going on for so long because I want to be as honest and open about that as possible and clear up any misconceptions or miscommunications I might have.

So, to conclude, criticizing things that are harmful is incredibly important and I never said it wasn’t. Sometimes people don’t understand a character, and sometimes they interpret them differently. It doesn’t make the headcannon any less valid. However, if you’re going to go out of your way to comment on a harmless post just because you don’t like it then that’s a waste of everyone’s time.

You get what I mean? I don’t think your addition was bad, and I don’t mind you using my post as a means of saying what you want to say, but I feel you slightly missed what exactly I was talking about. (Which is cool cause I was pretty vague to begin with).

Absolutely no bad blood and I agree with everything you said (especially Vil my bbg <3), just kinda different from my main point! Still totally important to keep in mind.

(I hope this doesn’t come off as condescending, I really do agree with you, just wanted to clear up what I meant. I just recently got out of a debate in my polysci class and I’m still in that mindset, so sorry if I came at you too hard lovely).

I don’t see why people feel the need to comment on things they don’t like. If you don’t like something, it’s clearly not made for you. That goes for like everything. Needlessly commenting on someone’s post cause you don’t like it is a waste of your time an energy.

Being that spiteful and hateful cannot be helpful or healthy, right? This was triggered by one comment I got on a post btw, which I won’t publicly share which one or who it was. But the point is pretty important to state in general.

What is the point in commenting on someone else’s post that you don’t like? What do you get out of it other then annoying them. Like, your opinion isn’t going to magically change their own — especially in fandom spaces.

I always found it so strange when I was scrolling through reading headcannons and reading comments and there’s just a random person angry about it. I get that mischaracterization is an issue to understanding actual characters, but at the end of the day it’s just not that serious is it.

Fandom is a safe space for more than just you, you know. You are responsible for curating your own experience as much as I am. If you don’t like something the best thing to do is scroll. There’s no point in wasting energy on something that upsets you.
