Perfect

I’m really sad about missing the FE Aspec Week event, especially since I ended up getting this done like right after it ended, but it's here now!

”Plumeria doesn’t want what most others do, the arduous mixing of fluids and friction as some repulsing tax to love or be loved made her want to retch.

Her work inflicting those desires she despised so deeply onto others was torturous, seeming to be little more than a cruel joke to remind her that she was different.

That is until one night the owner of the dream she’s infiltrated seems to feel the same, and they stare through the fog with a smile to tell her that she is perfect.”

663 words. Tagged Asexual Character, Dreams, Self-Acceptance, and Sex-Repulsed Asexual character.

Link and Fic below the cut, I really hope you enjoy!

(and also that I did a good job realizing this, fingers crossed)

“Tell me Faery… do you think yourself perfect?” A smooth voice whispered from so close Plumeria could feel their breath warm against her ear.

She whipped around, how had they managed to sneak up on her, to lean in so close without brushing against her sensitive wings or even upsetting the still air in which she stood?!

A tall woman dressed in dark clothing stared back.

“Ursula?” Plumeria gasped, pressing a fist to her rapidly beating heart as though that would slow it.

“The one and only…” Ursula chuckled, reaching out to brush two fingers against Plumeria’s pulse-point before flashing a twisted smile. “I saw you in my dreams, precious Dökkálfr… to think I’d find a kindred spirit in that land of falsehoods.”

Plumeria froze, she had penetrated the fabric of Ursula’s dream recently. Loathe it as she did, doing so was still part of her duties, she had expected no shortage of things that would simply disgust her in that assassin’s head, lewd phantoms of the women Ursala so clearly leered at puppeted by shameful desires the likes of which even Dökkálfr magic couldn’t inflict…

Instead she found none of that, for all the ways Ursula flaunted herself to try and gain the affections of those few she chased, her fantasies revolving around them had been comparatively… tame, almost benign.

Sonia looking her way, acknowledging the depths of Ursula’s loyalty, the sheer quantity of emotion the woman held for her. Kiran engaging her in games of wit, playing chess in between courses of a candlelit dinner.

Plumeria had stayed watching far longer than she should have ever remained in a single dream, silent and still as she watched fantasy after fantasy never devolve into a mashing frenzy of the base instincts that disgusted her so.

Her presence never caused any effect, her only actions were entering and leaving, how had Ursula managed to perceive her?

“Tell me, did you expect an assassin’s mind to be… *undisciplined*?” Ursula giggled, the sounds harsh as she leaned in just a bit. “You succeeded in catching my eye Faery, now answer my question.”

*Do I… think myself perfect?* Plumeria forced her eyes shut, trying to rationalize an answer. She was long past the painful stage of considering herself broken for being different, there was a time where she thought of her feelings as an affliction, a curse so severe that her Aesir given duties were sign from above she had to be fixed.

Those pained times had passed, even if she was left wanting for the love she truly desired, unconditional and without the repulsing caveat of a physical bond, she carried more love for herself;

More acceptance for herself;

That… had to mean something, was self-love and by extension actualization not a form of striving for perfection?

“I think you are, Faery.” Ursula murmured, leaning even closer and interrupting her thoughts. 

She… did?

“I… um, thank you.” Plumeria muttered, suddenly feeling the urge to take a step back…

But for whatever reason she didn’t

“At what level does a bond of flesh begin to repulse you? When my skin brushes against yours, if our lips were to come into contact, or perhaps not until my hand slid between your legs?” Ursula whispered.

“Anything past casual skinship.” Plumeria admitted, her heart speeding up again as Ursula nodded, seemingly in approval.

“My body is a tool, little more, pursuits of the flesh are nothing in my view of perfection, much less what I desire from intimacy.” She whispered, pulling back to a comfortable distance. “Few ever catch my eye, even fewer still can I be so confident in, comfortable that their perfection will never falter.” 

“Those dreams… they were your truth, not the result of a mask you put on after noticing me?” Plumeria asked, still not fully daring to hope.

“They were, Plumeria.” Ursula murmured, flashing her a much more gentle smile. “I’ll have my eye on you, precious Dökkálfr, so do consider looking my way.

Favorite Characters Of 2022

While I've already touched on art that touched me this year, I wanted to talk about some of the characters who I really resonated with. I am a character focused writer, I run character focused TTRPG sessions, I love characters. There is obviously a ton of characters I really loved in a year but I am keeping it to 10 because that is the list standard. Shoutouts to Bridget Guilty Gear who has brought me a ton of a joy in 2022 but doesn't have a ton narratively. Anyway, let's begin!

Zagan [Dead End: Paranormal Park]

Zagan may be a minor villain in Dead End but she stole my little lesbian heart right away. At the end of season 1 she serves as a great villain for a light hearted kids show raising the level of stakes while also not being jarring. Then in season 2 we get some Zagan queerness and we get some depth to her as we start to humanize the demons a bit more at the face of the actually evil angels. I think she is perfectly used and I would love to see her and Norma date.

Shirayui [Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games]

I like it when a girl can get a bit ugly, and Shirayui can get a little ugly in a delightful way. This passionate fighting gamer is a little gamer goblin, she is rowdy, loves destroying people at fighting games and wants a worthy foe. It's great seeing her maintain her image as a perfect lady while then going sicko mode whenever she gets a chance to do what she actually loves, playing a fighting game. Shirayui is charming and is a perfect example of portraying women in ways that just don't really happen in media. Like this kind of personality would normally either be a goof that she like "acts like a man" but she is toxic in lots of great ways that don't feel like a dude character. I love her and as far as I know she doesn't kill her rival and that is sad.

Ashuna [Executioner And Her Way of Life]

We love a jocky lesbian in this house and Ashua is peak shimbo material. She is shockingly smart when she needs to be but is otherwise all about battling and good fights and she is just fun. Sometimes a character is just fun to watch, every time she would show up on screen I'd cheer. Her blooming relationship with Momo is really good and I think it adds more to her character. Ashua isn't deep but she is perfectly executed in her own story.

Falis [Murder Princess]

This was a surprise hit of the year; when I was with April to jam about Thirsty Sword Lesbians: Falling Deeper and stuff we ended up watching this anime she remembered from when she was a kid and it was so much then I had expected and she remembered. Falis is just a very cool character, a woman who is just kinda badass but kind to her friends is rare. She is really well balanced in being a responsible person to having selfish desires to be a badass warrior to being a loyal friend in a way that makes her feel really human. It's rare for women to be written in the way Falis is and I really want to see more badass sword lesbian types in the future.

Also her stuff around the body swap with the princess is great and I think her coming into her own as a princess, kind of proving a commoner should be in charge is fun.

Rae Taylor [I'm In Love With The Villainess]

I thought I would hate Rae with her lack of boundaries but she's really captured me, as if I was a marriage candidate in a yuri dating sim. I think Rae may be on a list again next year, I own vol 3 of the manga and just need to read it, the anime is coming and there is just a lot that I'll be diving into for this wonderful lesbian. Rae went from a woman who didn't really get boundaries to showing her true emotional depths from a hint of her trauma from her previous life and to defining her sexuality and even challenging her crush Clair's homophobia.

Plus she has such a fun imagination watching her plans come out and either fail in funny ways or succeed in amazing ways is a really nice experience. I think she might be one of Yuri's best characters but I'll reserve my judgment until I read it all.

Poison Ivy [Harley Quinn Animated]

Poison Ivy is one of the best villains ever created because she is just a better person in every way then the hero in like 90% of stories the other 10% are like stories where they just decide she is a fash or wants to kill all humans for no reason. Ivy is a really fun character to have around and the more Daria esc version of Ivy works well for the show. Season 3 had her figuring out how she wants to define herself and coming into more of that big time villain side that I enjoy at the face of like the Super Heroes who represent the status quo.

I am really excited to see what Season 4 makes of her and where the future for her character in the best DC universe ever made stands

Sabi Mehboob [Sort Of]

Trans sapphics of color are so rare in basically all media but Sort Of gives of Sabi as the main character. We see a connection to Sabi's culture, to her former religion, her relationship to a family with considerably more wealth then her, her relationship to her best friend, her relationship to her ex, her relation to her own family, all in one season. I haven't started season 2 because I unsubbed from HBO Max but when I get a chance to watch Sort Of Season 2 I am really excited. Sabi is a deeply relatable character and seeing the start of a budding romance with another trans woman took her over the edge to being one of the most relatable characters I've ever seen.

As a trans lesbian of color myself, seeing other queer trans women on TV is basically a thing that never happens let alone a trans woman of color showing desire for other women let alone the glorious power of T4T romance. It is really nice and really great and Sabi is just an amazing mess and I hope her life turns around.

Monica [Fire Emblem: Three Hopes]

I'm a simple girl, I see a woman homosexually devoted to another woman and I stan. Monica is Fire Emblems second canon lesbian character. She is in some ways a character whose sexuality defines her but I really don't care. She is clearly deeper then that, she has her political position, her support for the revolution, her affection for Doretha, her rivalry with Hubert all of which make her a wonderful character. Plus she is just really fun to play as.

Úrsula [Los Espookys]

Ursula is a rare W for me where I see a character and go "She seems like she is a lesbian" and it is totally confirmed at some point. Ursula in season 2 of Los Espooky's is just like so many of my friends. Queer Latnix Zinester indie queer wanting to make the world a better place. Her subdued personality makes for some solid jokes and while she is often the "straight man" to a lot of jokes she is still funny in her own right from her utterly resisting brainwashing to her determination bouncing off the weirdos of the world, I love her.

Suletta [Gundam: The Witch From Mercury]

This little bisexual disaster is one of the most endearing characters ever written. She is so sweet, kind and has such a strong sense of justice. Her bound to Mio, her friends, her mother an Ariel are all extremally endearing and I just want to see her be happy. While we don't know where things will go for her in season 2, season 1 Sulleta brought me joy every single time she was on screen and in almost all her fan art. It's rare to see a darker skin sapphic character in fiction, in particular in anime and that's just a small extra part of the whole package which makes her so perfect. It's amazing to watch her battle and it'll be fun to learn more and more about her over time.
