#anyways this is how i hc her as butch ^-^

[werewolfcave]

Lucy Heartfilia bears a stunning resemblance to her mother. This fact has colored much of her identity and life.

At first she was just a mirror of a woman still living... Free to be herself.

I think Lucy was a tomboy before her mother died. I think she scraped her knees all the time, I think she wore shorts or breeches and t-shirts all the time and climbed trees. I think she mouthed off and couldn't help doing 5 different cannon balls into the pool until she got it right. I think she wouldn't be caught dead in a skirt because it snagged on the bark too much and she couldn't ride her horse if she wasn't wearing pants.

And then... One day... that little tomboy kid was crushed, the seed of butchness stomped out, she was made to be a replacement for her mother.

She lived in dresses and skirts, taught how to sit like a lady, taught the proper posture, taught that proper girls don't get dusty in the stables, don't play in the mud, don't throw tantrums when their father doesn't play with them.

She lived the life of a noble girl turned woman, and then she ran. She tried to become her own self.

But the remnants of being Layla remained, even as she fully resolved to never return home she couldn't stop... Not when she felt like the only way to be a good celestial wizard was to be a reflection of her mother. She never stopped feeling guilty that she wasn't her mother when it came to Aquarius.

Out in the world she uses that feminity she has learned like a tool. It's not something she is comfortable in it's something she is using to survive, to haggle men out of high prices, something that makes her that much more like her idols. It's an ill-fitting hand me down dress.

And one of her idols is Mirajane Strauss, model for Sorcerer Weekly, barmaid, softest smile in all of Fiore. A feminine icon. Maybe if she can be like Mira... Maybe she'll be good enough.

But here's the grand secret: Mira's feminity is a mask

So where does that leave Lucy?

At times Lucy catches sight of this sort of dance that Erza and Mira do. They perform the roles of a butch and her femme. Mira prepares the food, shares gossip, and flashes a pretty smile. Erza pulls out the chair, carries whatever's heaviest, and gives Mira a kiss. It's a show of sorts.

And then, at another point in time, she catches sight of Mira, who is sitting on the steps behind Fairy Hills. In those quiet moments, without the makeup that hides her eye bags, without the cute dress, without the smile... smoking a cigarette and sharing a late night beer with Erza... And the two look so alike that for a moment she cannot recognize Mirajane Strauss. For this small moment she really catches sight of the She-Devil, not just the rage that triggers her monstrous transformation, but the person she was before that grief, and who she really is after that grief.

She realizes what lies underneath Mira's facade. She sees that little butch kid in Mira get some air, get to breathe for that slim fragment of time and she understands. Sees the way Mira's posture changes, her attitude changes, her dynamic with Erza changes. And most of all the way that she looks truly and genuinely unguarded.

And Lucy realizes... That maybe she's just like Mira... Her true self is buried under 6ft of dirt... And that maybe she's suffocating herself alive

The older adult form of Princess Shokora is referred to as her “true” form, while the young princess form is the one most commonly used to depict her. Her adult form is notably more butch, with short hair, pants, and a cape, while her young princess form is a more traditional princess look.

I’ve decided to interpret this as perhaps a form of lgbtq+ censorship probably by the ones who discovered her kingdom. Since she and her kingdom have been gone for a long time, there is probably not much known about her. Perhaps she was sapphic and butch, but that was hidden by the historians who discovered her kingdom by only depicting her when she was younger and fit into a more stereotypically feminine role. Perhaps very few people even know that she survived into adulthood at all…

omg I totally agree with the oversexualisation of trans reg!!! I also see the same thing for t4t rosekiller, bartylus, jegulus etc. It's just so annoying that we're "giving rep" but it's all sexualisation. And I feel so bad because I would never want to say anything to offend anyone but sometimes it feels like people are only hc characters as trans ftm is so they can have two people w vaginas having sex while still calling them men.

I really don't know if any of this makes sense and I really don't want to be offensive in any way, but I don't know how to phrase it. I want more rep for trans people but WHY is it all sexualisation.

(side note I'd love some fluffy/angsty hcs for any trans marauders character u have in mind <3)

No I completely agree with you, and trust me SO many ppl on Twitter I know agree as well and get frustrated. I adore trans rep, it’s why I started the OF universe, to explore it in a way I enjoy and find helpful to me, and yes there’s a lot of sex but I try not to make it uncomfortable, but sometimes it does come across as ppl wanting James to sleep with someone with a vagina without them being a woman lmao, that’s not for every trans rep tho, some can be lovely and it’s great to read, but reg specifically can be written as a plaything and it feels so sexualised for no reason…ANYWAY never feel worried about sharing your opinions with me, I’m always down for conversations like this!

And hcs of course! Trans Sirius has my heart, especially if they’re genderfluid or nonbinary, I love writing them finding their style and using whatever pronouns they want, I just feel like they’re v androgynous no matter what and love changing their style just bc it’s what they love doing, not to fit in! Also ftm Remus has my heart, growing up with supporting parents like Lyall and Hope UGH they’d be so helpful with his transition! Also nonbinary Marlene my angel!! She’s v butch lesbian to me but also I can see she/they for her, like testing out their masculinity and exploring it with Mary or Dorcas (I can never really choose between them I love both couples) at their side

[butchvampireheimerdinger]

any sevika x butch reader hcs? :P

i see her as soooo butch4butch omg. Transgression is so core to her characterization and I think she would find gender non-conforming dykes soooo attractive. Anyways

Butch4butch! Sevika x reader headcanons

✯ You’ve both got lil peach fuzzy moustaches and neither of u remove ur facial hair so when u kiss ur moustaches tickle each other a little bit.

✯ You’re both rather lesbian obviously and so your love for women n other queer people extends beyond romance. If some dude is bothering some poor chick at the bar, you become the Woman Protection Squad. You’re everyone’s lesbian moms/guard dogs.

✯ Idk who her parents are but she gives off military brat vibes/raised by a strict army father. Now she’s incredibly anti-military (”I didnt always see eye to eye with my old man) but she makes her bed meticulously army style. She’s disciplined like that.

✯ It drives her wild seeing you in “more refined” clothing. Which, for her, means pants without holes that are not jeans, and one of your gay little button ups you probably have. Especially when she becomes a counselor and you show up in Piltover all dyked out in your menswear. Old rich ladies are clutching their pearls and she could probably just take you right there.

✯ Your fav Sevika outfit is the rumpled boxers and wife pleaser combo. Nuff said. Also you share a closet and there’s not a really clear boundary with what belongs to who, except for a few items of clothing that are your “signature.” Like your leather punky battle vest. And her poncho.

✯ You guys would be the punky type of older lesbians that never fought for gay marriage because it was seen as assimilating to a heteronormative society and making queerness palatable to a straight audience. Regardless, you do refer to each other as life partners, domestic partners, sometimes wife. Not really girlfriend unless in a cutesy ironic sorta way.

✯ And as for cutesy nicknames? You call each other “my butch.” Or “my woman” or “my old lady.”

✯ If you did end up having a ceremony with friends and family to celebrate your bond, its double suits fosho. Not exactly matching, but complementary. Maybe borrowed parts from friends and family because who is gonna buy a new suit in this economy? We have a revolution to run!!

✯ It’s at The Last Drop obvs and you hop behind the bar and pour beers, getting your suit all wet. Instead of a bouquet toss, all the single people gather for a rapidfire round of blackjack for who’s the next to get married.

✯ Your “honeymoon” is camping in the nearest wilderness. its all either of you had ever dreamed of. You ride off on your shimmer motorcycle with a billion illegal modifications with cans hanging from it and a sign on the back that says “just hitched.” And you get to watch her chop wood. And she gets to watch you gut a fish. It’s like butchdyke brokeback mountain.

✯ Housework isn’t a masculinity or femininity thing to either of you. She can cook meat, you can do all the plants and veggies cause maybe ur like a gym bro health nut type. Her tendency to load up on protein and nothing else drives you up the wall. “Colorful plate, Sev.”

✯ She does vacuuming and laundry cause she likes to fold stuff a certain way. You do dishes cause neither of you are sure just how waterproof her arm is. And you pick up the clutter so she doesn’t irritate her bad back.

✯ She grills on the barbecue at the summer parties. You pour drinks and set up the trampoline and tetherball thingy/yard games for the kiddos

✯ Affectionate touches include: ruffling each other’s short hair. Pulling you in by the belt loops. Absentmindedly straightening ur rolled up sleeves. You like to rest your head in her lap when its the two of you on the couch and you don’t feel like talking. She uses ur head as a little desk for whatever she’s reading.

✯ You both wear gay little rectangular reading glasses. At night she reads whatever religious text Janna worshippers use in bed next to you and you gab. She peers over her lil glasses at u. Zaun is more religious than Piltover so maybe you both are people of the faith. But if religious trauma exists in this context and you’ve got it, she would always be respectful cause she knows what its like to feel like an outsider.

✯ Obviously you work out together, but neither of you have a consistent routine for that cause ur gay and probably have adhd and her line of work has inconsistent hours.

✯ You have a punching bag in the basement and sometimes the two of you let off steam by punching it back and forth like pingpong. (That’s not how punching bags move, but use your imagination.)

✯ It’s never been a plan for the two of you to have kids and i don’t see formal adoption/ivf/sperm donors being widely accessible in the undercity. But i can see it happening where a disparaged youth on the street adopts the two of you and you become parental figures in that way. Maybe you take in a young trans fellow with a rocky home life. also there’s isha.

✯ If you end up with a younger child in ur care, they call you mama sev or mama vika and mama y/n. Or a cultural name for mom if you have one.

✯ Sevika would be weirdly good with kids because she sees them as people with feelings. She wouldn’t talk down to them or anything. She would be the bad cop but also kind of a gentle parent type. And you know how people sometimes put their naughty kittens or puppies in “air jail?” She is buff enough to do that with her kid one handed until they’re at least ten. And she is the BEST at doing the airplane thing.

Fin.

My Funger Termina HC (pt 3)

The Funger fandom is full of little gay people, so here's my interpretation of the sexuality of the termina contestants!

Some of these may be controversial but to be fair, fear and hunger happens during 1942, they're clearly homophobic or homosexuals.

I don't personally HC anyone as trans, purely because since the game is literally in the finals of WW2 and some of the characters were raised on fascist countries, being trans would be a great weight on the characters history.

(Example: some people says that Daan, Levi or pav could be trans but it would ruin the army backstory since women couldn't be on the field -or open homosexuals, if we go to the chase- and being realistic, ANY woman would be brutally assaulted in the 20 century army surrounded by morally gray Men. It's okay tho if you like to HC them because you relate or want, I'm just an autistic girl on Tumblr)

But, I think that Marcoh, samarie and Tanaka (closeted and repressed) would totally be homosexuals

Marina and Olivia are bi girls

Daan and pav are just queers.

Daan has seen too much things to care about putting a label to it, but he doesn't care about gender at all. His gender or the people's he finds hot.

Anyways, people see his... Strange gender expression and immediately thinks he's a dandy or an affeminate. (I don't doubt he had to punch someone one time or two because they were calling him slurs even being literally on a date with his wife, not because he cares about other people's opinions but because they were making Elise uncomfortable)

Pav, oh pav. He would be openly homophobic, misogynist and racist just to fit in Bremen's fascist standards. (Despite being atrociously queer and going around with his boobs for the world to see lmao)

However, he wouldn't doubt to jump into anybody willing to get laid with him, just to have some fun. I personally don't think pav had or would have a deeper relationship than hook-ups, aside from his commitments issues and the fear of being vulnerable or hurting his partner, the man wants revenge too much to risk the possibility of being vulnerable to extortions.

Levi, O'saa and august are straight but they don't have anything against homosexuality.

Levi grow up surrounded by men far away from theirs wifes and too close to death, it was an open secret that many of them "raised their comrades moral" but he was too young to get involved and he didn't give a shit about his comrades sexual life as far as he still had heroin. (He probably doesn't have libido, not because he's asexual but because he's anedonic by his addiction. I'll expand it later on -maybe- part 4)

He actively calls pav the F slur when the lieutenant is not listening, just because he pisses him off. Anyways, he doesn't have almost any sexual education so he doesn't even know how a woman's bottom should look like, he doesn't have any genital preference. As long as she's pretty she's a woman and, being fair, even if he likes a girl he's afraid to talk to women so... Yeah.

O'saa and august have traveled across the whole world and have seen every type of degeneracy, culture and people. They don't care at all about two people of the same sex getting laid.

Maybe and just maybe O'saa may be aromantic or maybe he just don't like being vulnerable enough to have a partner.

Abella is an ally

Before I get crucified: I love the idea of a hot butch lesbian, but Abella says a few times things related to have a family and slightly misogynist things typical of the time

("this place could really use the touch of a woman" -two history house (I think)

"what I am gonna do when I get out of this place? I think I would like to settle head and form a family" (something like that) -white bunker)

I think she wouldn't feel so ashamed of her masculinity and lack of validation as a woman and a professional if she was in a lesbian community... but with straight insecure men... It's much more probable that she was ignored or even mocked at. (Even being canonically attractive)

She's the type of girly that says things like "love is love" or "for me, you're normal" (white woman trying to support twinks in the 40's ig) and she really supports trans kids, she understands the feeling of being invalidated and trying hard to be enough woman

Karin is bicurious.

Karin refuses to be a stereotype of Butch, she feels like she would be even more invalidated if her colleagues find out.

We all know that caligura is highly homophobic and catholic (also Marcoh, pav, Henrik, Olivia, Abella, and low-key Karin, they're all all-mer believers in some level) but I still thinking he definitely has touched a man before (most probably assault one. Like the 'show of dominance' in the church of all-mer) Type of bastard that would like femboys in the modern times yk?

However, there are also some other participants who could say homophobe shit out loud and they are: pav, Levi, Tanaka, Karin and black calleb. Mostly because the culture they grow up with.

[skywalkerthrawn]

since i'm more active here now, i thought what better way to reintroduce myself than with my homebrew Thrawn & Friends Polycule

let's start at the top because it's the easiest: wutroow and ar'alani are 100% happily married because, well, you saw how they were in the ascendancy trilogy. to me they kinda parallel thranto in a way. and then of course once lani meets faro she's obsessed. brings her back home and says "look i got us a new girlfriend" and wutroow is obsessed as well

then ar'alani and borika being exes is about how they definitely crossed paths when they were both irizi, and who am i to not smoosh two beautiful women together and make them a thing. they broke up though because lani went into the military and borika married bomarmo (canon relationship but ask me about my extensive nonbinary he/him butch bomarmo hc)

the bomarmo and eli vanto one night stand was @doctorwenqing's brilliant idea. she wrote a fic about it and i was obsessed

now let's look at eli vanto. i firmly believe he had a crush on anakin skywalker growing up (those who have read postmortem will especially Get It), and then of course in my head he's married to thrawn, they're endgame in every universe. but that's not all, which brings me to my favorite poly ship ever, ✨elithramakro✨

thrawn and samakro definitely had a love-hate thing going on in the ascendancy days, and i have a lot of thoughts about how samakro tackled his feelings towards thrawn after thrawn got exiled. in my mind it takes years for samakro to admit that he did love thrawn, in a way, but eventually he does. and when thrawn returns home they reconcile and rekindle their relationship in a more healthy way

and then elimakro has definitely been written about at length and discussed a lot in fandom over the years (i highly recommend @elivanto's elimakro fic "one man's hell is another's god", it'll change your life) but i firmly believe those two would hit it off and bond over how utterly insane serving under thrawn was. anyway in my mind they all eventually get over themselves and get together as a triad, though samakro is still in a happy married relationship with thalias (or as i like to think about her at that point in the timeline, patriarch mitth'ali'astov)

and of course thalias's crush on thrawn is very easy to see in the text if you're looking for it. i personally don't think it was reciprocated, but i respect people who do

then, thrawn definitely had a one night stand with padme and anakin in alliances. the chemistry he had with both of them is undeniable (padme and thrawn both topped anakin, if you ask me)

and finally, thrawn's other boyfriends: nuso esva, uingali and jorj car'das. i love all of them and in my personal version of the timeline they're not the "main" relationships, but they're still very important to thrawn. a more recent addition to my "thrawn boyfriends" roster is captain enoch, who is not on here because i drew this diagram a while ago, but when it comes to him, i like to imagine that during the time thrawn spent with him on peridea, they both took comfort in each other and relied on each other in a lot of ways

my beloved gilad is not on here because i haven't really figured out how to fit him into this timeline (and never felt the need to), but trust that i love pells/thrawn too

and finally, this is my personal headcanon and not really based on anything except vibes. feel free to ask about any of these because this whole thing is the result of literal years spent thinking about thrawn&friends every day, and i'm more than happy to elaborate on every part of it. and if you have your own version of the throlycule™, feel free to share!

[dailymothanon]

Just some easy sketches of Canada 🐶 cuz I realized how little she gets recognition around here!! And idk how I wanna design her so I'm just gonna stick to her original look cuz I think it fits pretty good anyways and she's cute 😌 i'll think about possible hcs for her eventually

bonus sketch cuz ahugh.... she is butch to me okay I just need this to be real

[pant--eater]

Continuing my butch lesbian Rolv agenda: So while reading the book, Rolv is mentioned to have his silver thread girlfriend, Nadyenka von Nebeln. She's only in one scene at the village fair, and never mentioned again. (thanks again for peak female character writing Moers 😎)

Not even while being trapped in Hel, where Rolv is written as agonizing for Rala's safety (understanably since they share the twin bond, and she and Rumo are the only ones never seen in the Theatre) but he never muses over Nadyenka

Makes me really wanna make some hcs about what kind of a girl Nadyenka is 👀 I bet she is a good fighter who did well in the Theatre of Beautiful Death, so Rolv isn't worried about her not being able to defend herself. But also. I wanna think that she and Rala are good friends who often team up to playfully prank Rolv LMFAO

One hc that I'm particularly fond about is that she is a really soft high femme coquette girlie maybe based on a pretty dog breed like poodle, papillon etc. Who does not on the surface look like someone who can put up a fight like Rala, and she is shy and gentle. (And she def admires/envies Rala for her confidence) But she knows how to use her innocent looks to deceive, and then stab the hell out of the enemy. Something she maybe learned in her own past, but unlike Rolv who is full of white fire, Nadyenka is patient and slow fog.

IN FACT... her surname "Nebeln" could imply that she grew in Murkholm (Nebelheim in German) which is actually a fascinating concept to me?? Since Murkholmers are described to have be aware and allies of Netherworld for centuries. Nadyenka is def not one of the people who were shared the forbidden knowledge, maybe due to her not being the same species as them (otherwise she would have recognized the Black Dome), but the concept of a wolperting growing inside the Fog Jelly's territory does spark ideas for hcs. Lmao here we go again pulling Hel stuff into this

Anyways my thoughts are scatterbrained about her BUT I may??? Try to doodle her sometime

[astrobei]

No no no… butch Will Byers

so i’m not the op of the post in question and also i am not a butch lesbian so i’m obviously not trying to speak from a perspective i don’t have. but, at more of a surface level, i guess i do see where you’re coming from: if you take will’s canon gender nonconformity (and its direct correlation to his experience with sexuality) and translate that to a lesbyler au, it makes sense that the immediate inclination would be to make her butch — to have the inverse of that gender nonconformity play out, one that is also directly correlated to her sexuality and would often ostracize her from the general (heterosexual) population. however to me, characterization across these types of AUs is more about maintaining a character’s core traits and values, which i think is what op was getting at in their tags and the overall intent of the post. which is of course not to say that will’s experience with being gnc is not a vital part of his character and story, but more so that i think mike’s core personality traits and values align a lot more closely with the historic associations with the butch experience and identity than will’s do (re: op’s tags — being a knight, protector, etc). these types of takes are a lot more interesting to me because i feel like they go one step further than the more immediate and instinctive interpretations and instead create a kind of thought exercise that i find really, really fun: taking the traits that really set a character apart from the others (e.g: mike and will sharing a lot of the core traits and values that their overall story is built off of, while also being so, so different in other ways that fuel their independent arcs) and keeping those consistent while changing so much about the world around them. and, in the case of a lesbyler au, even changing parts of who they are and the expectations placed on men vs. women and their experiences with sexuality because of it. what makes a gay man gnc and how he is treated because of it will always be a lot different than how a gnc lesbian is treated, and i think there’s a lot of nuance to this that could be really interesting to explore.

anyways, all of this to say that i do think if you were to make one of them butch it would absolutely be mike over will and i will probably always have a hard time seeing it the other way around. but also i feel like this fandom can be weirdlyyyyy combative about disagreements in stuff like this and that AUs and hcs that are meant to be in good fun so often get taken so seriously that it doesn’t become fun anymore, so i hope my little spiel made sense! at the end of the day if butch will byers is the hill you’re taking a stand on it does not personally affect me in any way and im not here to police you about it. but me personally i’m very definitively over here in lesbyler butch mike land 🏴 (<- waving my flag)

yuri phinjeet is this anything

[enbysiriusblack]

1) hc for lily first realizing she rly likes james and what she does

2) sapphic jilypad?

1. i think it'd be something rlly stupid tbh. like this hc is based on my oneshot about mia & monty's get together, but i think its cute. so like end of 6th year, her & james are now friends & she thinks he's over his crush on her & they're just purely platonic. & then she's there in the stands as gryffindor loses a quidditch match & james is extremely pissed off & mopey about it. she waits for him outside the changing rooms, bcs their friends. even tho none of their other mates are waiting with her, & he comes out, still all mopey & he comes over to her, tells her in an extremely heartbroken voice "we lost" & then tucks head on her shoulder & she hugs him. & then he proceeds to lift his head up after a few moments, eyes widening, & just. asks her how her test in arithmancy went. & she's just suddenly overwhelmed by the realisation that she fancies him badly. turns a bright red, which he questions but she deflects, & proceeds to let him know she's going to let gryffindor have a party to forget about their loss. he gets a bit less mopey at that, & they walk back to the castle together, james rambling & lily staring at him & then turning away & then staring again, etc as she just thinks "oh fuck oh fuck i like james. fuck"

2. i LOVE sapphic jilypad. been thinking about them a lot bcs i have a genderbent sorority au where they happen (with marlene also involved tho. at first. stuff happens & it'll prob be endgame jilypad & dorlene). but anyway. sapphic jilypad <333 i can see it a variety of ways but bcs i'm working on that specific au rn, i do see it as butch sirius & femme james & lily. they'd be so messy. and also hot. james&sirius aren't usually, to me, but genderbent???? 🫶🫶🫶 (sorry i'm a lesbian). um anyway, queer bestfriendship james&sirius & the girl james gets with that sirius wants to hate but can't find herself doing bcs lily is just so fucking likeable & he can't help becoming friends with her.

[lunar-orca]

Hi could you kindly share your ENA headcanons

hi yes yes i can <3

its gonna be some different rubrics to not mess them up; so basically

sexuality/gender:

in my vision, both Enas are agender lesbians. so is Coral and Moony (although i like to think of Moony as bi.. cant decide). i dont give them specific labels as butch or femme tho, gnc is the ground for me. but i like to call them some of these terms for fun, like Moony and series Ena being butch n femme respectively, or dbbq Ena and Coral being tired mentally ill femmes. lol. the reason for these labels is projecting my identity because i barely see it online.

mentally wise:

dbbq Ena DEFINITELY has PTSD. also MADD. series Ena probably also has it as well. go my unstable depressive bitches with anxiety ❤️ (projecting. again)

i think dbbq ena also has trust issues, her meanie side especially. i just looove when girls hide their fear of getting hurt behind a layer of uncontrollable aggression ☺️ my favourite. yum!

she probably also uses her salesman side as a mask. i genuinely dont think the salesman is her main side... considering how often we see Specifically meanie to be talking with at least a tad of sense and logic in the game. hell, even her humanoid/hungover state is mostly taken by her meanie side. shes probably masking behind salesman to not excessively repulse people around her, yet it still slips out time to time.

personality wise:

once again speaking mostly about dbbq Ena cuz while YES i Did watch series Ena years ago and even rewatched it recently, i still cant strongly think of my personality hcs on her and how her sides act.... anyway,

sorry for being so fixated on meanie but i have very specific self indulgent thoughts about her. dmjasjsm. basically i like to think that shes easily flustered if finding the right way to talk to her. she can be pretty assertive, obviously, but who said an alpha wolf cant be someones kitten sometimes, (gets shot)

[macdenlover]

Question for ya about genderbent mac and gender/sexuality performance. Assuming she would have a similar repression then coming out experience, would you change her appearance/presentation? I feel like in recent seasons mac's changed so much so I'm curious how you'd represent that in your art!

okay so! @bitseventimes made some really good points in this post about this idea already so i’m kinda piggybacking.

short answer: not really? i’d keep her presentation pretty in line with canon mac so she’d be rockin the tommy bahamas shirts the same seasons as him. i think my version of fem mac would have always been sorta masc except for the few occasions she’s had to put on a dress. but she’d complain about it the whole time. I think her evolving relationship with gender expression and sexuality over the seasons would be less visual and more internal/behavioral.

long answer: unfortunately i don’t think it’s really possible to do a perfect 1 to 1 genderswap parallel that carries ALL the nuances of a character’s relationship queerness/gender expression while still keeping that character recognizable. so it’s okay to bend the rules a little. my headcanon is that fem mac was always a tomboy but saw femininity as a shitty obligation you have to deal with once in a while for show, similar to canon mac’s relationship with having sex with women. i think i saw someone hc that fem mac would wear dresses to church to be closer to god and like yeah. that’s exactly it. overall her demeanor and interests and style would stay pretty close to canon mac. i think early seasons mac would feel ashamed for not being as put together as other girls and especially denise who always has perfect hair and perfect makeup and mac can’t even put eyeliner on without almost blinding herself. and that combined with repressed lesbianism would manifest into this misogynistic pick me “i’m not like other girls” mentality. she’d still have just as much cognitive dissonance as canon mac—convincing herself that dudes like natural girls better anyway but also of course denise has gotten laid so many times she always looks like a whore. and then that changes when mac comes to terms with being gay. (some of the misogyny is still there though this is it’s always sunny in philadelphia). anyways she starts fully embracing the butch thing with more confidence in the later seasons because turns out bitches really dig it. but if denise wants to do her make up every once in a while she sure won’t complain. if you really want to explore queer repression in relation to hyperfemininity it’s wayyy more interesting through denise’s character and it fits really well with whats already established in canon dennis. mac’s performance of femininity would exist as this external factor but denise’s performance of femininity would be so much more internalized and rooted in her self worth. mac takes her heels off 15 minutes into the party because she’s impulsive and it’s irritating and denise bears through the pain because if she can’t be beautiful then what is she whats the point? denise would belittle mac for not putting enough effort into her appearance but deep down she wants the strap so fucking bad would be sort of jealous of the freedom mac has with her appearance and she’d grow more and more resentful toward her in the later seasons after mac comes out.

sorry this turned into a macdennis analysis post and i’ve flown way off the rails from ur ask 😭😭😭 but hopefully you get what i’m saying

lesbian curtwen hcs please 🤲

OK a lot of my thoughts about them are very much half formed and just sort of floating around in my brain so i don't really know how to verbalise them (something i should have thought about before i posted lmao) but they are very much there. so.

cait (aka agent caitlin mega) is like if u took curt mega and put him in his ultimate nightmare situation. missions are way less dangerous and exciting and being a woman in the 50s means she can't dress how she wants (at the start of her career she's very butch but as the lavender scare approaches she changes her clothes and hair to draw less suspicion. she still wears pants whenever possible and cuts her hair as short as 50s standards will allow though) and she's underestimated by her peers despite the director of the a.s.s. also being a woman and generally improving views on female spies in 50s america. unlike canon curt her confidence, recklessness and physical strength don't get her much respect as a spy or as a woman in general. so that combined with the inherent loneliness of the job means that when she meets ollie carvour (who understands the experience of being not only a female spy but also a lesbian in the lavender scare) they immediately form a strong connection and it doesn't take long for both of them to start catching feelings. i think in general these guys would be a little more emotionally open with each other than i think canon curtwen would, considering for women there was less stigma around showing vulnerability. but they're still stubborn asses in a very competitive and ruthless profession so it's not too dissimilar.

ollie (aka agent olwen jane carvour) is not quite as different to canon but i wanna talk about her anyway just for funsies. historically britain's views on female spies were generally more conservative than the us so based on that olwen would have had to work harder to be taken seriously. however, she has an advantage over cait in that she fits 1950s standards for women (in espionage and in general) both in her general style and mannerisms and her manner of working - stealthy and methodical as opposed to cait's tendency to wing it and blow shit up. ollie uses people's impressions of her to her advantage, blending into social events seamlessly as a charming young debutante despite being downright murderous. this tires her to no end, and until she meets cait she feels like she has to entirely mask anything even slightly non-heteronormative about her to succeed in her job. then she meets this bold, reckless american agent who keeps her hair just a bit too short and never seems to wear skirts, and she suddenly feels seen.

but yeah they're gay or whatever

washing machine heart seems so perfect for them honestly

🎵Song #8 Washing Machine Heart by Mitski 🎵[Full playlist]

EHEHEHE THANK YOU! I knew I wanted a Mitski song on there and I'm so glad I found this one because yessss, to me it is just *chef kiss* for them. It also has a rly nice transition to #9 Supermassive Black Hole, absolutely love the beat of Washing machine heart getting all distorted in the end of the song and how it flows so well into the electrical guitar riff and rock drumbeat from Supermassive black hole with it's darker tone, HEHE very happy with that one 🫶🩷

Story wise it's a fun transition too. Like at this point they are kind of assumed to be an item, going steady or whatever people call it these days. But like the prev song, #7 Do you think we'll last forever? the seeds of "something aint right here 🤔🙁" is planted with a hint of that obsession and whirlwind of emotions. Then here there is a lot of things to unpack with Metals jealousy over Sonic and that whole identity crisis, which only gets worse in the upcoming songs.

Like, for this relationship to truly work there is a lot of issues that has to be grappled with but uh oh we haven't had the time to unpack all of that yet, so ermm... oops!!! 😅don't worry about it 💔

LYRICAL BREAK DOWN BELOW 👇

Toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart Baby, bang it up inside

I've never fucking used a washing machine to clean shoes, is that like an American thing or something... idk. But it clearly reads to me like a metaphor about ones past/baggage and to just dump it onto your new partner like- Yea? Those muddy dirty shoes she's worn for so long? The shoes she's spent running around and chasing after Sonic for all those years? Toss those shoes into your washing machine heart??? I mean sure- if you insist 🩷

Also obligatory pointing at the machine lyrics for the robot. Low hanging fruit for analyzing but I have to point it out each time bc it is never not relevant. Metals chest is suppose to be a jet engine but like... it doesn't look too far off from a washing machine drum... have you heard those things as the program is close to finishing?? All the ones I've used in communal shared spaces always sounds like they are about to take off into the space. They might as well be jet engines

I'm not wearing my usual lipstick I thought maybe we would kiss tonight

The transgirl Metal agenda and propaganda continues. Congratulations on the gender girlie I'm so happy for you 🏳️��⚧️

Idk how you use lipstick without a mouth but I believe in you. I also do prefer a more butch lesbian Metal so lipstick wouldn't be apart of her gender presentation there either buuut, I love all Metals including the femme ones. And even with my own HC I don't see it as out of the picture to present more femme at the start of a transitioning journey as part of experimenting with it before finding what feels the best :] peace and love ✌️

Baby will you kiss me already and Toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart? Baby, bang it up inside

Damn girl, eager are we? Doesn't even care if it hurts or gets damaged in the process haha, what is self preservation anyway? This def makes me think about the previous song and how the obsession takes root. It would be fun to break down that one as well esp with lines like: "(Do you think we'll last forever?) / No pressure though, you just tell me, "Yes" or "No"" and "Tell me that you want me 'cause I got to admit / If you're with someone else, I don't think I could exist" like OKAY!!! This is, completely fine. Very healthy mindset. 10/10 no notes 👍 (JOKE)

Baby, though I've closed my eyes I know who you pretend I am I know who you pretend I am

OOP, there it is. The line that makes my brain and heart go 💥💥💥

MAN, punches the wall, I don't think Amy would ever purposefully ""replace"" Sonic with Metal Sonic. Can you even call it a rebound if I don't think she was ever really dating him to begin with, LMAO. I do think it is hilarious to pair her up with most of his rivals though like, dang Sonic look who stole your girl cause you didn't give her a chance, serves u right 😘💅

But more seriously tho I think she obviously values her friendship with Sonic a lot and wouldn't try and get back at him or use someone else to get over her crush on him. NOT INTENTIONALLY AT LEAST- (aint that a fun internal feeling of shame/guilt to be plagued with) but I can't blame Metal for having that anxiety, especially not when you are programmed to literally think you are that guy and people just decided to see your inferior copy as the real one who is so easily adored and loved and a hero like... wtf..... so fucked up (I love it) 💔

Do mi ti Why not me? Why not me?

SCREAMING. CRYING. THROWING UP- 😭😭😭OGHGOHGOH

IT IS YOU METAL!! YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED TOO FOR WHO YOU ARE- A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND SEPARATE INDIVIDUAL FROM WHAT THAT EVIL EGG INSTALLED IN YOU TO THINK YOU ARE, AUUGHGH 💥💔💥💔💥

I need Amy to shake this hunk of junk around and tell her over and over again that she loves Metal and not Sonic. And I need Metal to actually BELIEVE IT when she says that. Sniffs, sobs, this is fine. It's fine....... I am okay......................... (turns to dust) 💨

Do you have any trans hcs for any BRC characters?????

Yes I do!~ :D

This isn't gonna be too terribly long, but I'll put it under a Read More anyways. Also will be including nonbinary headcanons here, since being nonbinary is (usually?) considered a subset of being trans. At least that's my perspective as an agender person. :u

(I realized I was going to also include sexuality for some of these characters, but since you mentioned trans specifically, I'll just cover that here. I can do one for LGBT+ headcanons in general too, maybe as a separate ask/post, if you want!)

Solace is a trans man, which is something I think most of the fandom here on Tumblr agrees on, lol

Mesh is a nonbinary man! In his case he defines it as a combo of nonbinary + trans man, and he's fine with he or they pronouns.

Shine is a trans woman and I will not let anyone take that away from me :P

Twoson and Fourside of DOT EXE (so the two ball and four ball members) are agender and nonbinary, respectively! Already mentioned in my big DOT EXE post, but might as well mention it here too. Also to reiterate from that post, the two of them falling under the nonbinary umbrella was the case even before they went full-cyber. I say that since some people might assume that them going full-cyber caused the nonbinary-ness, but that is not the case.

Charles (summer palette for the Franks) is a trans man, Flesh Prince did his top surgery!

Lyra (autumn palette for Eclipse, the one with blue hair) is a trans woman. The rest of Eclipse know and still love and accept her, especially since they ain't fuckin' TERFs. I have actually seen some people insist Eclipse would "totally" be TERFs, and I'm just like, nah nah nah, get out of here with that absolute garbage idea. >:U

Lastly there's Nunchaku, my Devil Theory OC for the summer palette for that crew. She's a butch lesbian! I never did specify whether she's cis or trans, and even though I might say she's "probably cis", at the same time I don't think she'd want to answer either way.

In the sense of, if you asked her about it and you're a stranger to her:

If she were trans, she wouldn't feel comfortable saying that to a stranger, and so she'd decline to answer.

If she were cis, she'd think it isn't a stranger's business to know either way, so she wouldn't answer out of spite.

The only certainty is that, if a friend or girlfriend asked her about it, she would say, "Dude, my gender is basically just 'butch lesbian' in and of itself. Not just woman, specifically butch lesbian as a gender." And then leave it at that!

So I guess depending on how you think/feel about it, Nunchaku might or might not count as trans. Definitely LGBT+ though. :P

EDIT on June 8th, 2025: You know what, in the time since this post and after discussions with friends about it (which boiled down to "I'm sorry but frankly you're being a coward by saying 'it could be either or', you should pick one!!"), I have decided that Nunchaku is, with certainty, a trans woman!! Butch transbian, let's goooo \o/

I am keeping the original content of the post before this edit just for honesty and all, but yeah, Nunchaku is a trans butch lesbian, the end. :P
