#and they're both he/she bigender

MCD Garroth Ro'meave is literally Lucy Heartfelia

Shout out to my awesome girlfriend @co1n-operated for spiritually guiding me to this fantastic revelation /hj

Alright just listen to this description

A dumb bisexual blondie with fat tits that grows up in a wealthy but abusive/neglectful household with very few friends, mostly servants if any. And then when they're young adults their dad tries to marry them off to handle a problem he caused, so they run away from home and start a new life with a fucked up found family and start developing feelings for one of the other major characters just by watching them be absolutely feral about friendship and magic

I just described both of them. Literally the same character just different flavors.

I'm gonna be so fr i think even as an afrolatino Percy Jackson truther that even Halle getting casted as Ariel couldn't make him be obsessed with The Little Mermaid.He dosen't hate it because that's weird and pick meish but he would just.Not care about it at all,he'd be like 'Nice,i hope she gets all the money and fame she wants!Anyway,time to go back to watching Phineas and Ferb then be depressed about Brandy's Cinderella never getting sequels and watching The Proud Family to feel better'

I have another Zelda question! One thing I remember from my FFN days about ten years ago is that there were...a lot of Link/Sheik fics except that Sheik was always 1) male and 2) a separate character from Zelda, which kind of defeats the entire point. At the time I just thought it was weird, but looking back I'm convinced that it was just plain old misogyny. I've since found out that there's apparently been a debate about not only Sheik's gender but their identity and since you've been around longer in this fandom than I have my question is why? Is it just sexism - stripping Zelda of her agency by flat-outing ignoring that she survived the seven years as a Sheikah - or is there something more to it?

Ah, the great 'is Sheik really Zelda' debate, I do remember that pretty strongly too, though it's been quite some time since I last ran into it.

So back when OoT came out in 1998 in North America but I don't think I played it until 1999 or 2000? Probably 1999, I have strong memories of playing it when I had the chicken pox and I think I was 10? Anyway, I wasn't particularly active in fandom at the time, but a few years later as I started getting more internet savvy and finding relatively safe for preteen me fandom space, I encountered what was basically an ongoing debate over whether Zelda and Sheik were the same person.

I do think there was some genuine confusion in there and belief that Zelda switched places with Sheik due to them having different eye colors and the argument being made that Zelda used the triforce to swap their places? It's been a very long time so I've forgotten a lot of the debate points that were made. I'm sure there was some mentioning of the quick change clothes and Sheik's lack of boobs (this honestly could have been when I first learned what binding is? look at his outfit, Sheik is totally binding) but, yeah. There were a lot of people in strong denial that Sheik and Zelda were the same person.

You would think, quite understandably, that the introduction of Zelda into the second Smash Brother's game - Melee, for the Gamecube, released 2001 - would have laid this debate to rest. Part of Zelda's moveset was that she could turn into Sheik mid fight. And part of Sheik's moveset was that he could turn back into Zelda. If you wanted to play as Sheik then you had to choose to play as Zelda. Same character - literally - case closed. But, well... *rolls eyes*

in hindsight, yes. There is a lot of misogyny in how the Sheik is secretly Zelda plotline gets rejected or otherwise ignored by some of these 'fans'. The people who do this are, as you said, stripping away Zelda's agency in the OoT plot line, flattening her out into a damsel in distress who is ignored by her father as a Cassandra-like figure and whose only real contributions to the plot are writing the letter that gets Link access to Death Mountain and throwing him the Ocarina of Time. They are saying only a man could work as Link's partner as an adult, giving Link the information he needs to access temples while Sheik is also doing his own part to protect the people of Hyrule (such as trying to protect the people of Kakariko when Bongo Bongo escaped the well). All Zelda was good for is sitting around looking pretty, waiting for her people to be rescued.

But I think there's also a lot of transphobia wrapped up in there. Specifically towards the idea of a bigender, nonbinary, or otherwise transmasc reading of Zelda. Sheik seems very comfortable identifying as a man. Zelda seems similarly comfortable identifying as a woman. Princess Zelda is the character for whom the game is named and while it's a traditional trope for princesses to disguise themselves as men in stories, it's also traditionally a very genderqueer and trans friendly trope.

Some examples of that trope in action elsewhere: Princess Ozma from the Wizard of Oz is forcibly and magically disguised as a boy by her kidnapper; Léonide from the Triumph of Love (Le Triomphe de l'amour, originally from the 1700s but more recently remade as a musical) disguises herself as Phocion and romances people of both genders; various fairy tales including a rather interesting tale of Romanian origin about a princess who goes on many adventures, including rescuing princess Ileana, and is transformed into a man by a friar who cursed her for a theft... and so now a man he weds the princess Ileana. And there are so, so many more examples. And each one has some element of queerness - and, more often than not, transness specifically - running through it.

By treating Zelda and Sheik as separate characters, Zelda's association with transness and bigender/nonbinary identities is erased. She's made to be only a woman who has only ever identified as a woman and whose plot importance is as the giver of tasks alone. And Sheik is made to have always been a man, despite playing a magical harp - an instrument commonly associated with women and femininity - and the bandages around his chest that are a pretty blatant sign he's binding his boobs flat. So even if he's treated as a queer man in the fanfic, separating Sheik from Zelda is still a deliberate erasure of the character's trans aspects.

So to sum it up (TLDR time), while treating Zelda and Sheik as separate characters absolutely reeks of misogyny... it's also massively transphobic too. And given the way transmasc identities are still being treated today (particularly given the lateral aggression they receive), it's unfortunately not all that surprising that a transmasc/bigender/nonbinary reading of Zelda has been outright ignored over the years in a lot of Sheik/Link fanfics.

“[The submitter] LITERALLY INCLUDED HER IN A PAPER [they] WROTE BECAUSE SHE IS SO TRANS.”

“Rue is not just textually trans, with she/they pronouns, she is ALSO a trans allegory! That's TWO trans aspects!”

“Rue is LITERALLY a trans allegory! They have a whole arc about realizing people are viewing them as the wrong person, creating a new identity, being hurt by that confusion, being lied to and told they need to act a certain way for people to like them....

Propaganda:

“The vibe. They're so trans man coded. Like he would use a binder in the life series and, like, for example, Pearl would help him with it in Limited life, or Ren would help them cut their hair in Double life if he felt like being less gender ✨ He's just so trans man 😩 VOTE BIGB.”

“HE CAN BE ANY GENDER YOU'D WANT DUE TO CREATIVITY. I'VE SEEN MANY MAKE BIGB TRANSFEM OR NONBINARY!!!! YOU CAN EVEN MAKE HIM XENOGENDER OR USE NEOPRONOUNS FOR FUN.“

“C!Bigb being trans is so important. His character is very ambiguous (to [the submitter]. At least.) due to the hidden secretive nature of himself, he hides the lies, he masks his weirdness sometimes [which] can be a metaphor for a trans person not wanting to come out (also autism)((proof is [they’re] trans and autistic and [they] do this stuff)). You can color pick a makeshift trans flag from his mc skin also.”

“Every (Life) series, he changes up a lot of himself for whatever he's doing. This seems like he can't decide what exactly he is and is trying to rebrand himself as a different type of person every time, which tends to be something [the submitter has] noticed in a few trans people. The lack of clarity of who they are is definitely very genderfluid coded. It could also go for his character throughout the life series being a system, with each new series being someone else. [Their] main evidence for this is Terry (from Last Life). It can also go for being transmasc on some level because of how easy it was for him to be that character!”

“[Quote from Etho:]‘I’m ice man also, also the ice Queen […] yep, yep both in one.’ Etho has compared himself to a pretty girl before. ‘That’s me on the inside, beautiful, but on the outside it’s just this.’ (He’s talking about Falsesymmetry’s hermit head, a female head). Bigender, genderfluid, or genderqueer Etho trust trust trust.”

“T4T cletho. They’re both nonbinary and divorced (in an active relationship) and take turns on who's the ex wife and who's the ex husband.”

“When [the submitter] first joined hermitblr, [they were] genuinely confused about Etho’s gender for a bit because of the sheer amount of people on here that she/her him. [They] love it. Live your dreams.”

“Etho (ftm) but can be feminine. [The submitter] think[s] his vest is equal to the famous oversized trans hoodie (but with style).”

Someone should make a film about cartoon flying vehicles that are animate (a la Cars), and make it so that you can have the V-22 Osprey be a trans/genderfluid/bigender metaphor.

Is she a fixed-wing? Is he a rotorcraft? They're both!

3 Levels of Queerness in Jujutsu Kaisen

There are obvious, less obvious and ghostly queer characters in JJK, and I thought of writing them down in order of textual presence.

(Text, subtext and interpretation, are not interchangeable concepts.)

Text: trans, genderqueer, genderfluid

Even though Kirara is neither called trans nor does she call herself that, the manga (a shonen title in Weekly Shonen Jump, that's why the word trans doesn't appear) couldn't be more explicit that she transitioned from male to female. Gege achieves this with contrast: Kirara couldn't look and act more feminine while Panda confirms to Megumi that she's male.

Some might argue that Uraume is also trans but I'd say they're presented to be a mixture of genderqueer, non-binary and bigender. Eg. the first mention of them explicitly says they're androgynous. The manga then makes sure that we never get a clear explanation of their gender, neither with characters talking about them, nor with a drawn panel of their body, nor a difference in their appearance in the present and the past.

The later reveal from Gege that Uraume was originally male and was then reincarnated into a female body should, in my opinion, not be understood as a starting and endpoint of a transition, but as a timeless "inhabiting both a male and female body".

Kenjaku doesn't need much of an explanation as he (or she or they) has no problem inhabiting male and female bodies. He jumps wherever he wants to go, but unlike Uruame, he isn't androgynous about it; he clearly presents as male or female. He also never comments on changing his gender so genderfluid is the best description for him.

Subtext: bisexual

I have seen many, many people not understanding what subtext is, so here is an explanation for that first, taken from Wikipedia:

Subtext is "the underlying or implicit meaning that, while not explicitly stated, is understood by an audience."

Is Kirara being trans subtext? No, because the contrast that Gege uses for her reveal is too heavy for that and straight up slaps you in the face. But Megumi's first interaction with Todo and subsequent implications aren't.

Todo asks Megumi what type of woman he likes. Then he adds that he can also like men.

In Japanese, it's common to either omit gendered pronouns or use words for "person" that don't have a gender marker either. This does not mean that everyone talks queer with each other. In context, everyone knows about who or which gender someone talks about, and in 99.9% of the time, heterosexuality is the underlining assumptions and reality everyone brings to the table for those conversations.

Todo, however, expands that context into gay territory and that for the only time in the entire manga. Answering without gender markers now is an explicit acknowledgement of that new context. In this case: that Megumi is interested in both men and women.

Subtext, baby.

(Additional subtext here is that Megumi has a one-sided crush on Yuji. This comes from his answer to Todo about liking people who are like his sister. And who is someone he constantly compares to his sister? Yuji.)

Interpretation and Metatext: gay couple

Satosugu is probably the one where opinions vary the most, and as I don't care in any way about this ship, I can't make a comprehensive list of canon interactions and themes about them being (spiritually) together. From what I've seen talked about, some basic facts have to be laid out first.

Canonically these two are not a couple nor are they portrayed as gay in a textual way. Geto and Gojo have room for queer readings of course, especially in relation to each other, but any subtext you might see for them can also be interpreted differently. What these two have between each other is something we've seen in countless other explicitliy heterosexual manga as well.

But here comes the big But (from someone who is bored to tears by stsg): Unlike other shonen best buddies turned enemies, there is a solid foundation for a gay interpretation. A metaphorical groundwork for Gojo and Geto being star-crossed lovers who couldn't be together/get together just to end in tragedy with one of them having to kill the other.

What's unique with these two and with JJK overall, is that the author, Akutami Gege, is also a fan of gay stories. That man is a fudanshi and has listed BL titles as his favourites. The metaphorical groundwork for satosugu is in how they're portrayed in the manga, coupled with how Gege could write them like that intentionally.

(Really often, anti ship people will say things like "the mangaka would never write them like that, he would never want them together, it's illogical to push a queer agenda onto an author who has nothing to do with queer things." Well, Gege has sth to do with queer things. He reads and likes them and is open about it, too.)

As a reminder: Japanese society is rather conservative especially when it comes to demographics that WSJ aimes their titles at. If Gege wanted to write a battle shonen with an explicitly gay protagonist, WSJ would gently push him towards another publication or make him change his mind. Outside of a little bit of subtext, they would also never allow a male protagonist to be queer in any way.

On a metatextual level, Gege would be open to write a tragic gay love story but the place he could write it in wouldn't allow for it. This gives weight to any gay interpretation of satosugu that other pairs like them don't get because their creators aren't known for being open to queer writing.

-

That got rambly at the end but when it comes to stsg my thoughts aren't that concrete because I simply don't think about them that much. But as a quick recap this late into the night: Kirara, Uraume and Kenjaku are textually queer (canon). Megumi is subtextually queer (canon). Satosugu is widely open for a queer interpretation (non-canon).

I'm open to discussions of course :D

[timothyclare]

can't sleep for the life of me so have HSR Headcanons (except i don't care about anything so they're completely raw and almost all transgenderism)

underneath cut is headcanons huzzah

robin is a hyperfemme transmasc to me. he's feminine, but in a boyish way, and he's never been able to take control of his own femininity and express it in a way that is his own, due to the whole Idol Life thing. he/she prns. i also think robin has hEDS. because

gepard landau is a trans woman to me. a deeply repressed trans woman. her relationship with gender, expectations, her family legacy, and the eyes on her in her position as silvermane captain force her to constantly feel like she's wearing the skin of someone who she isn't; she feels a pain, a sense of wrongness in her chest that threatens to doom her. i also! think that she's got a really cool skin tone and cheeks/ears/a nose that blush/turn BRIGHT red in the belobog cold and make her look like an elf.

sampo koski is bigender and also. brazilian. to me. sampo is simultaneously a man and a woman and can present as either at any given time, though she does get antsy if she's been solely presenting as one or the other for a while. mixing it up is just so fun !! also, he definitely has thick, sturdy hands, calloused from constant use but well-taken care of and well-manicured.

transfem phainon ‼️ i feel it in my bones. she's so. mmmmm idk how to describe it. or explain it. she and mydei being t4t is great, but not my main reason at all. i think that. mm. something. expectations. something. ill-fitting forced masculinity. something. hating the name "golden boy". also, i hc her as having near-constant sunburns, always forgetting sunblock when she trains under the sun for hours.

aglaea. i hc her as having much more tan skin, and that she sometimes has moments of pause where she sees it and considers the scars that she holds all over her body. the scars of the flame-chase war that still rages are not victim to the surface-level veneer of perfection that she holds as the holder of the coreflame of beauty. idk this thought is vague. also she def gets chronic fatigue

yanqing and yunli both being trans is v important 2 me. idk why. something about the way in which they resemble and contrast each other, something something finding common ground, yeah

it's barely a headcanon-- heavily coded and implied in the text-- but aventurine is rroma. i also hc him as being autistic, highest masking you've ever seen. he has a collection of playing cards that he keeps at peir point that is probably the biggest in the galaxy. also, i think he gets chronic joint pain in his hands from how much he uses them.

argenti is autistic. to me. so very much so. he has a daily ritual of cleaning and storing his armor, taking care of his skin and hair, and then doing it again in the morning before putting the armor back on to start his day. if he has that routine, he can handle pretty much anything that the universe throws at him. if his routine is messed with... it gets rough. he's the type to have shutdowns more than meltdowns, i think. also, i hc that he has freckles, a tan, and a tooth gap that he wears a retainer to combat.

acheron is auDHD and a trans woman. i think that due to IX and memory loss, she's kinda forgotten the latter part. peaches, as the only food she can really taste, are her safe food and she will often nibble on dried peach slices as a snack wherever she goes (it is stimming but she doesn't know that). her dull affect and monotone voice are more a symptom of her autism than the nihility, given that she's also quite poetic and verbose at times.

boothill is native, and i headcanon him heavily as having ADHD. i think he's also heavily into/very connected to music-- he can play banjo and spoons, along with a flute from his home planet. music was a big thing back home culturally, so now it's pretty much the only way to connect to them he has that can't be taken away. he's musically very intelligent, with an absolutely impeccable sense of rhythm, groove, and timing.

dan heng is definitely autistic. you cannot convince me otherwise. also, he has narcolepsy. because.

sampo again (i have favorites, clearly) i think he's hypermobile. he's built up enough muscle that it doesn't give him too many issues but also she can and frequently does bend and move in some insane ways that come back to bite her later

ratio is autistic and transmasc to me. erm. yeah.

anaxa is the gender-queeriest looking freaky guy i have ever seen. he absolutely wears long skirts and pulls his hair up in a femme style at least half the time. very unlabeled in a dont-look-at-me way, along with my-gender-doesn't-matter energy, what with them being way more focused on scientific advancements and their research most of the time. i also think anaxa's most definitely disabled-- probably hEDS, maybe POTS, and some other various Ailments that she doesn't care about getting diagnosed. (also definitely autistic)

herta is very much autistic to me. autistic old woman. she and ruan mei both.

i've run out of ideas abd can't remember my other headcanons. yeah

[a-man-in-the-crowd]

when your beard husband ends up gay too (nevermore 50s au)

song: queer things by ruth wallis

[YAPPING BELOW]

FIFTIES AU ANYONE??? i was thinking about willbee and then queer things by ruth wallis stsrted playing and everything else just kinda evolved from there. the current concept is berenice needed a beard and ended up going for will because he kinda just does whatever he's asked and he seemed weirdly desperate... turns out, he ALSO needed a beard and berenice only realizes this on their wedding night. shenanigans ensue. i like to imagine they both just stood awkwardly in front of their wedding bed until they came to the realization they BOTH don't want to do that and will just goes to sleep on the couch.

in this au lenore is living her best life as a bigender icon (presents as a man to the public, presents as a bit of both to her friends and annabel and yes you can read that as plural if you want) + married to annabel. OR annabel is lavender married to prospero and lenore is lavender married to duke but honestly i just want lennabel to be happily married for once 💔

pluto and eulalie are married, i'd say eulalie's dad found pluto and was like "hey so you like weird creepy little things right? is this a good enough husband for you?" and surprisingly they actually hit it off.

montresor and ada are disastrously married i haven't gotten into the specifics of that but... well, you can guess the gist of that.

don't ask me what morella duke and prospero are up to just yet. especially not morella i haven't a clue (i could base it off the story she's based on?). prospero is a doctor and if he isn't married to annabel he's definitely pulling the 'too busy to marry' card. duke's a famous magician, maybe he's got a flirty persona going on (for entertainment purposes and also so he can play off love life questions with a 'well, it's hard to settle down when you're a guy like me *wink*' sorta thing if that makes sense.)

bereulapluke, obviously. although it's probably a bit more complicated because eulalie just doesn't think she needs to explain the sitch to berenice (so basically berenice thinks she's eulalie's mistress LMAO), pluto and duke i'm not entirely sure about but i know that they're not together (yet), and plulalie's going okay but pluto is kinda having trouble with the idea that yeah he can like men too and his wife is okay with that.

maybe morellada idk

[punkeropercyjackson]

Afrolatino Percy Jackson thoughts dump i wanna put on blue baja blast

His name would NOT be Perseus.It dosen't roll off the tongue in spanish at all so Sally would name him Perseo

His middle name would also be Isadore,which is both of greek origin and a name an african american mom would absolutely name her son

Lightskin Percy is one ugly ass motherfucker and book innacurate.He looks exactly like Poseidon so poc Percy can't be mixed(but he would multietchnic by default,as he is canonically).Poseidon is afrogreek,Sally is afro-dominicana and they're both darkskin with strong features

If you make Percy black but not punk you're being weird and ignorant.Punk Percy is canon and black people created punk culture-starting in New Yorker at the same time it did England!!!-so there's no reason your Percy shouldn't not only be punk but AFROpunk.Grunge/Skater boy Percy isn't canon anyway and was popularized by white people projection so it has no say in afrolatino Percy

He had crushes on Starfire/Teen Titans 2003 Koriand'r and 1997/Brandy's Cinderella and they shaped his taste in women.He's black4black and yes,this includes when it comes to men.Jason was giving black biracial natural blonde in the books and Percy never had crushes on Luke or any male gods and Beckendorf was basically his older brother so he didn't have a crush on him either.Not every queer man liked older men as a kid but especially not Percy,whomst canonically hates older men for being older men.Too many of you are so flipadipping stupid💔

'Black boys glow blue in the moonlight' from Moonlight is extremely Percy-coded and he cried so hard he almost threw up watching I Saw The Tv Glow for the first time

His personality,experiences,treatment and perception(in-universe)are very representative of black autistics,especially but not limited to amab ones

^Stating amab because Percy reads as an afrolatino with a complex relathionship to gender that's healed with rejection of white masculinity and embracing black femininity culminating in identifying as transfem and bigender(he/they/she/neos)

Thalia,Rachel and Silena were black-coded too,Thalia as AA and Silena as creole but Rachel as nigerian yoruba with inmigrant parents,and this is why in the latter two cases they connected so well and clashed with Thalia as an intracommunity conflict metaphor.Thalia is platonically the stud to Percy's femme(tomboy/girly girl black sisters),Perachel haters are whole ass weirdos and Charlena was black love

Nico wasn't quite black-coded but he works better as black than white.He's a lot like 'soft sunshine nerdy black boy who's also ultra powerful and a little shit' characters and his name is literally Nico di Angelo,a black ass name as much as Percy Jackson is.Plus we need more black goth kid rep and my jamaican friend said it's a trope that black girls only have white siblings so that only made me headcanon black Nico further.He had an afro and when he's 17(in my Toa fixit/replacement,Tales of Dead Seas),he switches to dreads with a bun in the back

Percy and Hazel are so girldad and adoptive lesbian daughter he found and bonded with during the movie's/game's quest-coded.As has been pointed out by other black Pjo fans,their relathionship reads as black solidarity amongst a group of mostly nonblacks and she's the third to his and Nico's trio,called the Dead Sea Siblings since 1.Nico is the son of Hades,Hazel is the daughter of Pluto and Percy is the son of the sea god and 2.They're mediterranean by virtue of their greek heritage and Nico's italian too.Their bond deserved to be expanded on instead of discarded and so did Hazel as her own character and she's a Tods mc and gets her own solo book titled 'Hazel-Blood'.Sally is Percy's queen and Hazel is Percy's princess

His favorite music genres are rap,metal,bedroom rock and lo-fi beats,the last one influenced by Hazel's obsession with them.He can play guitar and he grew up listening to dominican/latino songs thanks to Sally blasting them around La Residencia Jackson all the time.Teezo Touchdown is his go to for road music

The sea does not like to be restrained so she switches hairstyles throught the series.Baby dreads in Tlt,wicks in Ttc,twists in Tlo,an afro in Son as she didn't remember what styles she liked on herself at the time but muscle memory gives herself dreads in the climax,diy's sea material based beads for them in Moa and grows her hair out so much by the time she's 19 she switches to locs.She decided to give herself a little girl treat by doing her hair the mermaidcore color technique too to celebrate her egg cracking(yellow,aqua,pink and purple were her choices and as per the requirements,the black with a white streak base stays)

Blue flan helps keep her mentally semi-sane and aquarium nails rewired her brain.She also owns a pair of pastel blue shorts with 'are you nasty?' on the ass in rhinestones she got as a ref to the Janet Jackson song

Also her,Tyson,Nico,Hazel and Estelle do the obvious 'Jackson Five' jokes and Sally and Paul join in

He's a hood nigga and can't turn it off and he's been made to feel bad about those things but by the Tods finale(at age 22)he's completely embraced it with pride and mocks suburbinates openly rather than just in his heads out of insecurity.Percy's the kinda guygirl to use 'Babygirl' as a romantic nickname unironically and nonsexually and wear hightop converse and sit on the curb eating street food next to the trucks he bought them from and watch black video game streamers then reference their lines irl

He's a very chalant dreadhead and owns a collection of blue durags and bought Sally a blue bonnet from Aphrodite that gives her perfect hair each night(Mamí's boyyyyyyy)

She gave up skateboarding because of greasy white boy posers but returned to it as symbolism for healing her inner child and transitioning.She was a skater boy,now she's a punk girl with a pretty face.Her board is black with blue cat and oceanic designs and she goes on petty crime sprees,uses her powers for enviormentalism,harasses Poseidon for money for Nico's chronic pain meds and mobility aids and gives Hazel special treatment to heal her from adultification trauma,knows how to diy things that don't even exist,drinks blue ingridients only battery acid and is the go-to for learning about punk culture amongst punks kids in Manhattan and in CHB for Percy's actual punk tactics

They've been sexually harrassed by white girls often enough to find snowbunny jokes deeply unfunny and even get angry at them and tell the people to make them this is why black women won't date them(wether they tell them they're a black woman themself to prove the point or not depends)

Sally's love of and inate connection to the sea is her dominican upbringing she passed down onto Percy coming through

Percy in blue togas and gold accesories,ripped pants and long chunky skirts,his Camp Half-Blood shirt with his battle jacket on top,blue cybersweetie dresses,waist beads,demonias and doc martens,thrifted graphic tops themed after his special interests,blackish blue lipstick and waterpoof glitter eyeshadow and black eyeliner years >>>>>>>>>>>>

She was definitely a gamer kid,she owned tamagotchis and went to arcades as safe spots and on her 12th birthday,Sally gifted her a blue nintendo ds she saved up to buy her.It was her only console for the longest time and she played so many games on it that combined with how much it meant to her she got it for her,she keeps it to this day and is very protective of it.Also,she would go hunting for cartridges of games based on existenting media she already was into as they hit different for her and she picked to play a girl in Pokemon(Percy,you EGG).And Sonic The Hedgehog kid Percy is a no brainer too,seeing......everything about Sonic as a franchise and Sonic as a character,he looks like Percy's fursona lmfao and peachdeluxe has the most accurate and Percycore human!Sonic ever

Please imagine Nico and Percy squishing Hazel into a hug as they both cover her in kisses and she giggles,happy stimming and non-seriously telling them to stop and that they're embarrassing her as if they aren't laying on her bed together.Please also imagine Percy showing up to Nico and Hazel's Special ED school he was supposed to attend when he was 9 but overheard Sally planning it over the phone and melted down so bad over it she never brought it up again,with a big box of homecooked blue stuffed cookies and a bag of ensures,on the day of Hazel's first art showcase as she's the president and founder of the art club there in her dcom episode ahh plot that transpired a month beforehand and her dreadfully learning what dilf means that day too

His hair is so afrotextured it can't be silkpressed,caused by Poseidon's divine status as his dad

She would recreate the Bubbline rock t-shirt and sweater to share between her and her girlfriend and want them to be Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum to her Marceline Abadeer The Vampire Queen(Percy Jackson The Sea Queen?).Matching icons,cosplay skits,singing Monster from Obsidian to them on her guitar,sending Bubbline tiktoks to eachother,attending Adventure Time events official and fanrun and even reading fics together.Encourage her to post the ones she wrote in her egg yearning days and her stitched heart you sowed back together is yours forever

Insert obligatory Percy is a New Yorker so he has beef with Imagine Dragons joke here

He thought cat cafes were gonna be white af and gentrified but went to one for the first time inbetween Botl and Tlo and now she's absolutely in love with them and goes to the one closest to La Residence Jackson twice a week and them,Nico,Hazel and whoevere blue's dating(read:whoever you ship Percy with,including yourself)are the only reason it's still in bussiness tbh

Percy's piercings are a spider bite,an eyebrow piercing,forward helix on both ears and a tongue ring.All done at home by Sally

He has a thing for women with afrobubble hairstyles and men with design fades

He rides for Leo almost as hard as Jason and Piper do and thinks he's based asf.Leo was intimidated by Percy's coolness at first,scared of looking like a loser in front of him,but Percy was so nice to him and openly as silly as him he let his guard down and now they're besties 4 life.Percy likes carrying Leo around and Leo clings to him and started his habit by randomly instigating it for no reason and Percy enjoyed doing it so it sticks.They compare their spanish dialects for fun and Leo gets Percy into game moding stuff while Percy gets Leo into surfing and Leo grows a close friendship to Nico and Hazel caused by Percy and even to Rachel,especially in Tods.They're painter/crafter solidarity and meet in the middle with arts and crafts and Leo is the red takis to Percy's blue takis

She copycats McDonalds recipes to make them but more delicious and also blue(when the boycott comes,she starts doing property damage on McDonalds buildings and Nico and Hazel vandalize them)

They definitely have a sweater that says 'The only blue life that matters' over a toony shark Thalia gave them

She's Spiderpunk in the universe he's a Spiderperson.Hobie Brown is so,SO book!Percy Jackson-coded and i'll give receipts!!

Bonus because my little brother(lesbian)said so and she has dreadlocks:This be Percy

[cyanide-latte]

Hi hello! Can you give us #13 on the pride asks for your whole gang? Thank you!

Thank you, Nette! (Also congrats, you've officially prompted the damn owl to shove his way in here and make his presence known at last.)

#13: What pronouns does your OC use? If someone (accidentally) misgendered them, would they correct them?

Oh boy there's a whole list, get ready, I'm even gonna name drop some OCs I've not talked about on here yet (and all without diving into the nextgens)!

Copper Benoit (trans boy)- he/him pronouns. If you accidentally misgender him, he will correct you, but expect him to be upset and tense. He does NOT take kindly to being misgendered even on accident (though he can forgive an accident if it's not continuously repeated.)

Wei Renqiao (demiboy)- he/him and they/them pronouns. If he's particularly close with you, he might be more likely to offer correction if misgendered, but it doesn't happen to him often enough to warrant.

Wei Xinyi (genderfluid, bigender trans fem)- she/her, they/them and he/him pronouns. Xinyi shuffles between pronoun usage, and they're the most likely to politely correct an accidental misgendering, with the gentle caveat that any of those pronouns are correct, though they do tend to prefer they/them as the default.

Chrysanthos Shroud (cisgender male)- he/him pronouns but he also very readily accepts they/them pronouns, as he did do a lot of self-reflection before reaching the conclusion he's cis. If he got accidentally misgendered, he'd find it funny.

Kallisto Shroud (cisgender female)- she/her pronouns, and she'll correct you in a very chill way.

Ilias Shroud (agender/nonbinary)- he/him, they/them, vey/vem. He won't correct you; chances are his wife (Kallisto) or his son (Chrys) will get to you first.

Uncle Wei Gang (???)- he/him pronouns but it's understood by Ren and Xinyi that their uncle's relationship to gender is complicated and he doesn't actually have a label that truly fits him. He won't correct an accidental misgendering (if it even happens) because he knows his own identity is complicated anyway, and isn't bothered by honest mistakes like that.

Hé the dragon (intersex)- they/them pronouns! I've not mentioned the mischievous little long dragon on here in detail yet, but Hé is being raised by the Wei family. Hé will very patiently (and perhaps a little playfully) correct anyone who accidentally misgenders them.

The Anatole siblings (one bigender, two cisgender)- Marianne uses she/her and occasionally he/him pronouns, Toussaint and Bertrand use he/him pronouns. Mari will patiently correct you, Rand somewhat impatiently, and Tea will probably correct you but also make it known he doesn't mind being accidentally misgendered.

Felix and Aurelian Pondicliff (both cisgender)- he/him pronouns for both of them. Aurelian will correct you for both of them bc Felix won't correct you if you misgender him.

Lin Róng (genderqueer)- yeah I know I've not mentioned him on here yet, but you didn't think I was going to have all those Mulan-twisted OCs and NOT have one twisted from Shang, did you? While Róng doesn't become important to plot stuff until later in the timeline, he does exist, and he has to use he/him pronouns formally because he's an imperial prince in the Land of the Red Dragon. In private, when he's just allowed to be himself with someone (which almost never happens) he likes to experiment with different pronouns to see which he likes! He probably won't correct you, but his guards, advisors and officials will.

Cenric Sylvaticus (?????)- another I've not mentioned on here yet but since you mentioned an interest before in my OCs twisted from the Labyrinth characters Nette, just for you, this is the asshole bastard owl fae twisted from Jareth the Goblin King. He/him pronouns, but if you make the mistake of answering the question "can I have your pronouns" seriously, guess what, your pronouns are his now. Will replace the he/him pronouns if he ever finds something more suitably regal and untouchable that fits him. Correct you if you misgender him? Oh but of course. It's only fair you receive correction for your mistake. But whoever said humans find an archfae's methods of correction to be fair~?

WHEW! Talk about a list...and I didn't even throw Ren's little half-sisters in here either because they're still trying to figure themselves out. If you read this far, thank you, you deserve a treat, I love you you trooper.

The ask list!

[shiraoyagi]

talking about my four queerplatonic ships in project sekai because i'm bored + queerplatonic headcanons are fun and i don't see enough talk about them in fandom, so!!

ichihona

-> ichika is aromantic and honami is allo

-> there's no romantic feelings on either side of the relationship, especially since ichika is kinda romance repulsed

-> this also means they're not comfortable with romantic terms being applied to their relationship (they usually refer to the other as their partner rather than something like "girlfriend")

-> very cuddly. they also infodump about their interests (stars for honami, vocal synths for ichika) to each other a lot, and it's pretty silly

-> usually don't participate in PDA unless if it's ichika accidentally being bold with her feelings without thinking again

-> ichika found out about queerplatonic labels while researching her own identity

anhane

-> an is grayromantic graysexual while kohane is alloromantic and asexual

-> they wouldn't mind being called girlfriends if it wasn't for the fact that they both have a (romantic) girlfriend individually, which could cause confusion

-> horrendously physically affectionate. pda everywhere. ans favorite thing is to wrap herself in blankets with kohane and trap her so she can't leave the blanket burrito

-> an is oblivious to how her interactions with kohane could come off as romantic when she doesn't intend them as such

-> kohane, on the other hand, completely understands how this misconception could arise, but she doesn't really care if people see their relationship that way (an wouldn't care either if she knew)

-> were already partners before they realized there was a term that could describe their relationship. it kinda just... naturally queerplatoniced itself.

-> tease each other?? for what they do??? in their other relationships???? lol this polycule is so funny

akitouya

-> akito is demiromantic demisexual while touya is recipromantic and allosexual

-> ABSOLUTELY repulsed at the idea of dating the other in a non-queerplatonic manner (touya isn't attracted to men and neither is akito) (i hc touya as bigender, so while akito is bisexual and attracted to women and non-male aligned people, he isn't attracted to male-aligned people [touya, in my hc, identifies as both male and female])

-> the pda isn't too bad but sometimes akito can't contain his affection

-> their relationship wasn't initially queerplatonic like anhane's was. it became queerplatonic later on into their friendship and status together as singing partners (about a year or so in).

-> neither of them really had close friends (besides tsukasa for touya, who he sees familially), so they just assumed their dynamic was normal friend behavior (it was not)

mafukasa

-> tsukasa is aroace while mafuyu is unlabeled

-> nobody knows they're qpps. everyone is lowkey horrified when they find out they've been together for half a year. tsukasa is a bit too shy to discuss her (because it makes him flustered to think about her), while mafuyu only brings tsukasa up whenever she's asked about him

-> vaguely romantic(?) feelings involved, but neither of them care enough to think on it

-> actually call each other their girlfriend/boyfriend. tsukasa thinks the terminology is fun even though he wants to throw up whenever someone implies their relationship is romantic

-> since shizuku taught mafuyu how to embroider, she's embroidered some patches and other designs on some of tsukasa's show costumes

[dandysworldhcs]

I have so many headcanons on their designs and such so just bear with me

- I honestly see Astro as a sort of centipede, a nocturnal arthropod that is actually pretty chill if you don't antagonize them. I also see him as having ADHD combined with narcolepsy, he's always moving his hands underneath his blanket and his mind is always racing despite constantly being fatigued.

- Razzle and Dazzle are rats, why? The rat king phenomenon! This is one of my only voice headcanons but they sound like ENA, specifically the newer one

- Dandy is a False Dandelion. I also base my design of him on a Ammit, which has the head of a crocodile, the upper body of a lion, and the lower body of a hippo, his Twisted form reflects this the most. I also see Dandy as bigender. Him and Sprout are also brothers with Sprout being the older one.

- Speaking of Sprout, I honestly see him acting like a MMO healer while on runs (Examples; “No, I'm not out of tapes, I just don't like you”, “If you get in the way you deserve to get hit”, “You got one shot, I can't out-heal stupidity”.)

- Shelly has other dino features, although it's actually based on cephalopod’s using tools, her tentacles hold onto replicas of fossils that give her the illusion of having a tail, horns, etc, and she can change them out. Also she has ADHD, she just matches the symptoms more instead of autism (Autistic and even AuDHD Shelly's are valid tho).

- Vee has high functioning ASPD that's comorbid with Autism, yes I did as much research as possible as to not demonize either, but I personally see her with these two disorders, as due to being a robot she doesn't feel complex emotions and has a weak sense of right and wrong (outside of her programming, that is), she doesn't feel guilty for being blunt, rude, or for not noticing others feelings, but she does try to make up for it if someone points it out, even if she doesn't feel bad about it.

- Pebble is a Toy Poodle, and Coal is a Saint Bernard, with Pebble being a service animal and Coal being a search and rescue mountain dog, in the cartoon they were both used to show kids how dogs can help people outside of being companions, that service dogs shouldn't be distracted or pet without permission, and that they shouldn't be scared of working dogs in certain situations no matter how big or intimidating they seem. Also they're very much ‘Old dog, young dog' dynamic.

- Shrimpo has low functioning ASPD and struggles to hide his symptoms. No pronouns and AroAce.

- Gigi is a chameleon, simply because chameleons will grab onto whatever you hand them, self explanatory.

- Goob and Scraps are chimeras instead of being a dog and a cat, Looey is their oldest sibling, no reason for this, it just showed up in my mind and I can't get rid of it, Goob and Scraps honorary circus members as a result. Goob also has Ataxia (Impaired balance and coordination, specifically in his arms, which causes clumsy movements) and Hypotropia (downward facing misaligned eye) which causes weaker vision in his ‘lazy’ eye.

I'm going to stop now because I'm just rambling at this point.

- Wisteria Anon (if that isn't taken just yet)

These are all so interestiing... especially the rnd one I have literally never seen that one proposed before !! Little rat rnd d'awww..

I'm also very much an ataxia & hypotropia Goob enjoyer, as well as the Coal & Pebs one... these are so neat!

[bee-devilling]

It's pride month, so what are your pride HCs for all the RTC characters you can think of HCs for?

It took me an hour, but I did basically everyone. Enjoy :)

Main characters:

Constance:

Lesbian, has a preference for gnc people

Her brother painted her a pride flag for her birthday one year. It's very messy, because he was only 4 and hadn't quite grasped straight lines yet, but it's pinned right next to her regular sized flag anyway.

Misha:

Likes women. And Noel. He supposes that still makes him straight as Noel isn't a cis man, he hasn't really thought about it much. He could be bi, who knows, who cares?

He's thought about his gender though, quite a lot. He's still a cis man, he's just a very enlightened one. If he were to somehow become a trans woman, he'd like to name himself Анастасія (Anastasiya).

Noel:

Gay, obviously.

"But if you had to pick a woman–" If he had to pick a woman, she better have a good net worth. If we're not in it for genuine attraction, then we're in it for the money.

Bigender, he/she, definitely leans more into feminine presenting when he first comes to terms with this but eventually it evens out, he kind of flips between hyperfem and hypermasc

Ocean:

Similar to Misha in that she's straight, and technically her choice of partner hasn't changed that fact, but would be a lot less open to the idea of being queer. Her dating a non-binary person is an exception to the rule, and she still likes men by and large, and would refuse to call herself anything but straight.

Says she avoids Pride because "she's not one of them", she'd actually love to go but the thought of such large crowds of people terrifies her. If she could just chill in a café and watch it pass her by, that would be nice.

Penny:

Agender, would prefer no pronouns but will settle for they/them. Goes by the name PJ as a way to honour both their old name and Jane's, but also they just really did not want to drastically change their name.

There are two wolves inside of PJ. One wishes to have long, androgynously styled hair. The other wants to shave it all off. It is a permanent battle PJ must face, but thus far PJ has settled for waist length hair and an undercut.

Ricky:

Has no labels and gives no fucks. Any pronouns with no major preferences, but has a soft spot for kit/kitself

The Zolarian language has no gendered pronouns, but rather has pronoun sets based on appearance; the most widely accepted form is coat colour (similar to how we'd use "the blond(e)/brunet(te)" to describe people in some circumstances) but some deviate from those norms and use other descriptors instead, like a specific pattern shape on their fur, or heterochromia. Ricky's self insert is one of the latter; he likes to use a scar on his chin as his identifier.

Side Characters:

Father Markus:

He may be a man of God, but he is almost fit to kill about half the student body for how they have treated queer students. And a good chunk of the staff too. The scripture may state otherwise depending on where you take it from, but he firmly believes that God does not care who you love, He cares about how you love, and as long as no one is hurt then God shall not condemn you, because He sent us to love one another.

Karnak:

Assigned she/her by a random trans graffiti artist.

Talya:

Trans woman, she/her. She was dreading how Misha would react to it, but was lovingly surprised when he just didn't care.

“Making love on all the social media platforms” and it's just Misha responding to trolls on her YouTube by saying "me and my girlfriend have bigger balls than you"

Virgil:

Virgil and the Underworlds was a polycule as well as a rock band.

And bonus characters: Ricky's parents:

Ricky originally had a mom and a dad, and then his dad came out as trans. Except he just decided to change her name from Gene to Jeanne and let the rest of Uranium be none the wiser. In the home, they're a very happy lesbian couple and Ricky loves his two moms. Outside, they're a straight couple and Gene just has very long hair because he's weird like that.

[mcytshipsandmore]

Ok hear me out.... Spellbook (e2 Shubble x False)

They're both traumatized and afraid of people and I think they could heal and fix each other. Shubble would be fascinated with False's mechanical knowledge, all the gears, cogs and clocks. And False would be very interested in Shelby's magic, maybe even trying to figure if there's a way she can harness it for herself.

Also throwing my headcanons in here bc why not. Shelby is nonbinary (they/she/fog), ace & a lesbian while false is bigender (she/he), aro(spec) & also a lesbian.

YES YES YES YES I LOVE THIS
