FRECKLING CONTINUES.

[moe-broey]

Somehow, I think gender plays a role in how Moe socializes with people. Despite being nonbinary itself, I think the family/background it came from had such specific ideas of gender roles that like... that, in combination with the family dynamics in general, does color how Moe interacts w others based on what it can glean from them.

Examples?

> Incomprehensible Feminist Agenda:

Flavored by a lifetime of looking up to, loving and respecting its older sisters -- and scary version, whatever is going on w its mother. Also results in respect (and fear.) Plus, previous experience adhering to those gender norms/role... It has insane shrimp color baggage from that. Mani portrays a lot of it. Ultimately, generally speaking -- Moe tends to be respectful, amicable, if a bit standoffish. Also loves doing the "God Forbid Women do ANYTHING" bit, and the like.

> Men???:

Complicated. But there are good men, and it never has any guilt about being associated w masculinity. I think the baggage (aside from any reductive ideas it was raised with), comes entirely from specific ass complexes. Some Cain and Abel shit. Can find itself switching the way it talks to match (tone, cadence, ect). I'm just like you, see? Asshole. Actually I'm better than you but that's neither here nor there. Bastard. Absolutely gets extremely frustrated and oscillates between "i've got nuthin' ta prove, go get a greater understanding of gender nonconformity and identity as a whole, Idiot" to feeling VERY MUCH like it has Something To Prove. There's also an element of envy, more broadly speaking! Sometimes evil, sometimes just pure respect and awe! (My trans Bruno hc goes crazy here bc Moe really is just dazzled by him LMFAOO) Also something something, "do i love you, or do i wanna Be You?"

Funnily enough, if someone exists in the Other category for any reason (trans and/or nonbinary identity, general nonconformity, ect), I think all social scripts have to be built in real time specific to that person, themselves. Which ironically leads to Moe having a chance at breaking down any walls that would otherwise be up, do to social convention.

Now, what does this look like in action? Say, there is a mysterious hooded figure of indeterminate gender, even up close. Well! I think it depends on three factors: How this person reads, how they identify, and what they specifically want to portray to Moe.

Like.... Misc examples.

Rosado is very Do Whatever You Want Forever, could be the sole other neopronouns user in the Order (I really like a fae/faer hc there!), and very easily reads as transfemme (... so much so she's just transfemme. To me. I switch between the neopronouns and she/her and legitimately forget fae canonically uses he/him 😭). What Moe does with this? Probably slots Rosado into more feminine coded social scripts (which fits well for Rosado, if you look at how she interacts w Hortensia and Goldmary!)

Forrest? Heavily defined by being amab and having a very complicated relationship w that. Moe reads a potential transfemme interpretation. Moe, attempting to be an ally/show solidarity... immediately fumbles the interaction. "what are your pronouns" "???? He??" "Are You Sure about that?" "...... excuse me? 😟😥"

Libra? Easy. He makes himself very clear as soon as you talk to him. Masculine social scripts.

Then you have very specific cases! Bramimond. Limstella. Kyza! All use they/them (Kyza esp in Heroes, very cool way to implement their ambiguity in Radiant Dawn across translations). I think all of them get factory settings until Moe figures out how to talk to each. Sometimes the completely neutal factory settings remains. Sometimes you figure out how someone wants to be seen/regarded as you speak to them (I think Kyza falls here -- masculine social scripts as a boundary on their part. If you aren't Ranulf or Lyre, you don't know me like that. Ect)

Sully? An interesting one to include here, actually. Often seen as butch. I've seen some fascinating transmasc reads/hcs for her. I think Moe entirely just lets Sully take the lead. Is she overcompensating for something, much like Moe used to just in an extremely opposite way...? That's none of its damn business. It could be a plethora of factors, really, all of which Moe itself has familiarity with and is sympathetic to. None of which, again, are any of its DAMN business. I think Moe has a lot of fun mimicking and matching her energy regardless LMFAOO (and again, lets Sully take the lead on how she wants to be regarded! Which, in this example... we're sticking to canon, a strong woman who takes no shit! Results in a fun mixture of feminine and masculine social scripts, from Moe!)

A little bonus, is how I've personally been using gender neutral pronouns for each summoner regardless of presentation. The purple haired Summoner? Very easily reads as a woman (either cis or passing as such). But in my head/the angle I was taking, is like... that's the first impression, yes. But then they mention a complexity to their identity. And IMMEDIATELY Moe does the gender perception factory reset in its mind. And starts building from there! Figuring out how they want to be thought of/how they're regarded!

Adjacently: Mani absolutely falls under this category of character. With Mani, there's a very clear starting point, sex assignment wise. Very much matches/falls into general expectations that come with that. Has "all the features", for lack of a better way to put it. With only a few oddities here and there -- all easily dismissed as not that unusual, actually. For example -- the short hair, no makeup. Not that unusual, generally speaking. Maybe odd combined w its highly feminine way of dress. But ultimately, there are plenty of instances of that! You don't think twice. But as you get to know Mani, you realize pretty immediately Oh! That is. That is Something Else entirely. DIVERSITY WIN?????

[l-littlelune]

fluffy alphabet OO1 • Golden Freddy

Voy a intentar hacer esto con todos pero no prometo nada. Empezamos con Golden bc i'm a slut for that blonde bitch

A: Attractive (Qué encuentran atractivo uno del otro?)

Aunque ama todo de tí, le vuelve loco tu sonrisa. La manera en la que lo miras y le sonríes con dulzura hace que se sienta seguro y feliz

B: Baby (quiere? cuántos?)

Ser padre es uno de sus sueños de vida, mientras más, mejor. Le gustaría tanto tener propios como adoptar.

C: Cuddle

No hay nada que le guste más. Le encanta pasar tiempo contigo, abrazando tu cintura, besando tu frente mientras te dice lo linda que eres y lo mucho que te ama

D: Dates (como son sus citas?)

Ya que él es famoso, es difícil que salgan a algún restaurante en un día normal, pero en ocasiones especiales (ya sea tu cumpleaños o su aniversario) hará todo lo posible por conseguir una reservación en un restaurante algo exclusivo y alejado de la ciudad

E: Everything (eres mi...)

Salvación. Tiene muy poco tiempo libre. El estrés del trabajo, de la escuela y el tener que mantener su imagen lo tiene cansado y desmotivado, lo único que le motiva a continuar son dos cosas: sus amigos y tú.

F: Feelings (¿Cómo se dió cuenta de que estaba enamorado de tí?)

Esa noche fue mágica. El día del baile de fin de cursos, en el que él no hacía más que ver como Fox bailaba con Chica, de quién él antes estaba enamorado, claro, hasta que tú te acercaste y lo invitaste a bailar.

Él accedió de inmediato ya que a pesar de estar "enamorado" de la rubia, tenía sentimientos hacia ti.

Era una canción lenta la que sonaba, por lo que al llegar a la pista tú rodeaste su cuello con tus brazos y él con algo de timidez, colocó sus manos en tu cintura. Mientras bailaban de a poco encontraste mayor confianza y te recostaste en su pecho y Golden pudo sentir como su corazón se aceleraba y sus manos comenzaban a sudar.

En ese momento se dió cuenta de que Chica había quedado superada.

G: Gentle

Es el chico más amable que conoces, no solo contigo, en general. Siempre con una buena cara, saludando y sonriendo a todo aquel que se le atraviesa.

H: Hands (¿Cómo se toman de las manos?)

Cuando están juntos, sus manos están entrelazadas la mayor parte del tiempo. A ambos les gusta ese contacto, ya que es un constante recordatorio de que están ahí, están juntos y eso es lo que importa.

I: Impression (¿Cuál fue su primera impresión del otro?)

Habías oído de él y no te interesaba mucho conocerlo, honestamente creías que era uno de esos adolescentes famosos que creen ser mejor que los demás por tener dinero, aunque al final Chica terminó por presentártelo y notaste lo equivocada que estabas.

Por su parte, él desde el inicio creyó que eras una chica encantadora. Te había escuchado cantar en una de las salas de ensayo y sin que te dieras cuenta, estuvo un par de minutos mirándote.

J: Jealousy (¿Son celosos?)

Golden no lo es, pero tú, por más que confíes en él, no puedes evitar sentirte algo insegura al ver a algunas de sus admiradoras. Él lo nota y hace todo lo posible por hacerte saber que te ama solamente a tí y que no te cambiaría por nada en el mundo

K: Kiss (¿Cómo acostumbran a hacerlo?)

Ambos aman los besos suaves y tiernos, llenos de sentimientos. Incluso cuando están en eso, Golden procura siempre mantenerlos lentos, demostrándote lo que siente por tí.

L: Love (quien dijo "te amo" primero?)

Él lo hizo, por teléfono y sin pensarlo mucho. Estaba pidiéndote perdón, ya que debido a un compromiso familiar no podría ir a tu casa aquel día. Antes de colgar, finalizó con un "lo siento, te amo, adiós". Jeffrey estaba ahí con él y al escucharlo, le miró con una sonrisa pícara. El chico tardó un poco en notarlo, pero al darse cuenta de lo que había hecho se sonrojó y cubrió su rostro con sus pálidas manos.

M: Memory (mejor recuerdo juntos)

Le es difícil escoger solo uno pero al final ambos se quedarían con la noche del baile de fin de cursos.

N: Nickel (¿Consienten?)

Sí lo hace pero no concientemente. Lo ve como algo normal, y aunque a ti no te molesta, te incomoda un poco la cantidad de regalos que te da. Tras decírselo, pararía por un tiempo, pero eventualmente volvería a darte pequeños regalos.

O: Orange (Color que les recuerda al otro)

A tí, el rosado te recuerda a él, mientras que él al ver color morado piensa en tí.

P: Pet names (¿Qué apodos usan?)

Él te llama de mil formas distintas, pero te encanta que te diga "honey", mientras que tú te vas por el clásico "babe"

Q: Quaint (cosa vintage preferida)

Discos de vinilo. Tiene un tocadiscos en su habitación y una enorme colección de discos que heredó de su madre que suele escuchar la mayor parte del tiempo.

R: Rainy Day (¿Qué hacen en los días lluviosos?)

Suelen encerrarse en casa de Golden a ver películas. Se turnan para escucharlas.

S: Sad (¿Cómo se animan uno al otro?)

La simple presencia del otro los hace sentir mejor. Saber que pueden contarse todo, y ayudarse mutuamente los hace felices.

T: Talking (¿De qué hablan?)

De todo, pero algo extraño, adoran discutir sobre política.

U: Unencumbered (¿Qué los relaja?)

Las tardes de películas mientras afuera llueve.

V: Virginity (¿Cómo fue su primera vez?)

Fue la primera vez de ambos. Estuvo llena de risas torpes de parte de ambos y los nervios hacian que sus manos sudaran. Al final, fue tan especial, tan lindo, tan inperfectamente perfecto. Una experiencia que por nada cambiarían.

W: Wedding (Cómo? Cuando? ¿Dónde se propuso?)

Aprovechó un viaje a Bali, un par de años después de que acabaras la universidad. Una tarde estaban en la playa y él, algo nervioso, comienza a hablar sobre lo mucho que te ama y que quiere pasar el resto de su vida contigo hasta que finalmente saca el anillo y te hace la pregunta

X: Xylophone (Cuál es su canción?)

I'm sorry if I say "I need you"

But I don't care, I'm not scared of love

Strong — One Direction

Y: You are the ______ to my _____

Eres la galleta de mi leche.

Z: Zebra (mascota)

Un gato. Le gustan los gatos.
