okay @cqcophobiq inspired me to be brave and stop camping out in the tags. Iā€™m a real stream of consciousness kinda gal so hopefully this makes sense and not *too* rambly! Ahem:
šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„AUTISTIC HOBIE RIGHTS šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„
This makes SO much sense @gutsygremlin! The fact that being cisn't is is very common for neurodivergent people also makes me nod vigously to this post. Hobie Brown is built different. Blackness, queerness, and neurodivergent paint such a specific picture for the type of person you end up being and how you interact with the world.
I got formally peer reviewed and therapist referred for autism like, last week?Also never maskedā€”what you see is what you get. And since I didnā€™t KNOW something was ā€œwrongā€ with me, I didnā€™t realize how bold of a statement I was making by simply being myself. Subconsciously for 25 years Iā€™ve more or less communicated to people ā€œā€¦oh, am i not picking up on cues and making social faux pas? You want me to get back in the kitchen and cook up another personality/demeanor for you? This ainā€™t build a bitch hoe. What you see is what you get.ā€ And it wasnā€™t intentional, but makes me a very polarizing person! I really relate to the concept ā€œautistic rizzā€ (charisma). Tons of itā€”harder to realize i had symptoms cuz i love people! However, with autistic rizz comes autistic ā€œpulsā€, (repulsion).
So, brining it back to Hobie being autistic and itā€™s likeā€¦yes heā€™s already cool but so much cooler cuz even without a diagnosis or peer reviewing, he knew he was polarizing, thought different. I feel like being a tall, darkskinned person with very afrocentric features set him up to be ā€œintimidatingā€ and gawked at WITHOUT the punk aesthetics. This wonderful Tik Tok by Chris Whoa talked about how he felt cosplaying Hobie. He felt empowered because Hobie ā€œdoubles downā€ on taking up space being black and alternative, and that people who would treat him differently/get scared off by his aesthetic arenā€™t people he needs around him anyway. If him being himself is repulsive, in his own wordsā€¦ā€Good.ā€ And to baby autist me thatā€™s SUCH an inspiration like wow šŸ„ŗ that said, while weā€™re talking about maskingā€¦people have pointed out that Hobie a lot more animated/upbeat/physically affectionate in his suit whereas with his mask off, heā€™s more reserved and serious. Huh. Imagine thatā€¦
Onto the gender bit: I saw non-binary Hobie a mile away. The fuck does that man looking like adhering to not just gender roles but the concept all around? I think he'd be annoyed at how the term ā€œnon-binaryā€ is being treated like a third gender rather than a category, and thus just another label. But in general? Yeah fuck that binary shit.
That said personall, regardless of if heā€™d define himself as suchā€¦I get gender-fluid/genderflux vibes from him. Obviously, you don't need fashion as a way to express gender. But I think Hobie could and would.
He has SO much gender?? Genderful even! Why I love AUs/headcannons/timelines where he has the time/housing stability to have an interest in fashion and makeup and playing with expectations. he's so pretty and handsome like if a man and a woman had a baby šŸ„°
I wish people stop overemphasizing the one ā€œpunkā€ trait from Hobieā€¦because forcing all of his fashion and music etc to be ONLY punk is not punk and I for one adore the inconsistency he swears by. If we canā€™t pin down a gender for him how can you pin down a genre you canā€™t, exactly.
Hobie is such a silly goofy guy tho. Like heā€™s absolutely the type of queer to, when asked for pronouns or how he identifies, say something like this:
ā€œā€Gender?ā€ Yā€™need me to put a little sticker on mā€™ forehead of what I am so you can work out what it ā€œmeansā€ when yā€™get an eyeful of all this, yeah? Cute! All you *actually* need to know if that you're into me you are not straight. Yup. Donā€™t make the rulesā€”donā€™t believe in them actually. But that rule is the most help youā€™ll get from me to figure that out. Not my problem l'm universally appealing innit?ā€
i want some more heavily analytical headcanons of Hobie brown (from black queer ppl)
what are ur thoughts. give them to me
