#it's a bad gender day guys

[useless-anxiety-cucumber]

in another life, I think I'd be an english major.

Somewhere, in the midst of parallel universes and timelines, there's a version of me who gets to write, and wonder, and dream.

There's a version of me who doesn't have to pretend. one who can wear waistcoats and boxers and ties.

Somewhere in the universe there's a version of me who doesn't have to hold on to the vestiges of who I once was. There's a version who can change, and make mistakes, and grow as a person.

There's a version who doesn't have to become a neurosurgeon, who doesn't have to go to stanford or harvard, who doesn't have to be the perfect daughter.

There's a me out in the universe who gets to wear tweed and sweater vests and look dorky as hell, but he doesn't care. They get to spend their days writing poetry, and debating philosophy, and teaching the next generation to dream. He gets to be transmasculine and nonbinary, and not care about what their parents think.

That universe, however, is not this one.

So like I just went through almost all your language posts and I was wondering what if like the creator sometimes just switches languages out of no where and everyone is just like:😃. Cuz like they don’t understand what they mean and it happens randomly too or when they’re irritated and they just start cussing in like 3 different languages at once

IM SO SORRY TO DO IT TO YOU-

but i think ive written some stuff abt this before?

u know what tho.

ive got an even better idea. my “go-to” if you will.

Torture Alhaitham.

>:)

^^^ ALHAITHAM RUNNING U DOWN AFTER YOU SAY EXACTLY (1) WORD IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE HE’S NEVER HEARD-

☆

Sun: Gender neutral Reader (you/they/them)

Orbit: SHORT headcanons-ish?, Language shenanigans!

Stars: Alhaitham (suffer lol)

Comets & Meteors: Content Warnings: None Known & Trigger Warnings: None Known.

he’s watching you. constantly.

he’s always writing about you.

he’s following you around Sumeru City.

he’s following you around Port Ormos.

he’s at your house-

Alhaitham learns you speak multiple languages before any other akademiya schloar, and he’s submitting a thesis about “the Greatest Lords languages from their home world”

before you can even say “I’ll think about it” in any language u know lol

people have definitely mistaken him as your favored acolyte (not that he does much to deny it)

and talk to him like he’s your secretary?? …oh, welp.

Alhaitham knows your schedule for the next month within a week of following you

mans is willing to do the MOST to get you to sit down and just start talking in a language at him

want food? his specialty dish ingredients are always at the ready at his house

want literature? he’s offering to literally break into the akademiya (or giving you a copy of his house key to have access to his personal library all the time)

(tho kaveh is practically hugging you to his chest as you walk around perusing as he talks ur ear off lmao)

Haitham (he sometimes insists you call him when it’s just you two) wants to singlehandedly be the first person who understands every word you say when u coo at dogs in another language

or cuss out a fictional character for being stupid

CRYING U CANT EVEN GET MAD AT HIM BC

every time u get pissed he’s interrupting every other word you say to ask for definitions/clarifications of slang 😭

send help he’s made a red string theory board of all the languages you’ve used to try and just- make sense of all their rules and when you use them and how to tell the difference and oh no-

Alhaitham’s hanging pictures of you mid-sentence with ur mouth open or even worse when ur yelling.

…u know maybe its not for an akademiya project, maybe he’s just trying to humble you. 💀

thanks again for sending this ask in!! :D

I am a boy. What I do or do not wear changes absolutely nothing, because I am a boy. Whether or not I have boobs and a vagina changes nothing, because I’m a boy. Nobody can take that from me.

Went to the hairdresser, asked for a cut that went to just above my shoulders, gave reference pictures and everything… tell me why my hair is now a pixie cut 🧍

I need a new hairdresser. Third time this year she cut my hair way shorter than I asked 🫠

I think that May is a month for mourning.

You wouldn't think it, with it's deceptively clear skies and sun that pokes it's green head out again, not yet knowing how not to scorch.

As May ticks by like book pages turn and mushroom multiply, I find myself grieving what I thought I had gotten over.

I grieve my dog. I grieve my old friends. I grieve my parents. I grieve myself.

The dog is not yet dead, nor near to it, but I know that she will end, one day, and all I'm going to get is a phone call. I miss a goodbye I haven't said and never will.

My friends have grown up just like I have, on paths that since divulged, perhaps never to cross again. We have and will all spread out, each other's faces to become smudged memories we gaze fondly at in 4 years time, when we find our old yearbook and remember.

I can feel the end coming with my parents, like the calm before the massive storm that you know will raize the land. It is so bittersweet, to leave those who raised you, who threatened you, who took care of you and who disparaged you. I will think of my mom when I see heart-warmingly tacky cow decorations, and when I taste the burn of tequila, and when I have to stop myself from screaming and tearing my hair out, and when I smell acrid lye. I will think of my dad when I see pale beers, or a sweet chocolate left for someone, or an anti-abortion protest.

Myself is all that remains. I know that I must let go. I must let the little girl my vessel is puppeteering free, to exist only in the vestigial memories of childhood. But I am scared. I am scared of losing everyone I've already mourned. Somehow, it's still not enough.

Gender Envy

[candycryptids]

Hiya! I hope you're doing well today! I love your characters and how you've structered their bios! Since Chuusday is listed first, is she technically your official WOL or is it someone else? Do you canonically have a WOL in the first place?

Also, I find it SO sweet that you and one of your partners both play FFXIV and have characters paired together ;w; Did you meet ingame or long before either of you started playing? Either way I wish you both the best!!! <3 - gardenofballads 🌻

Awaaaah! Im doing pretty ok!!! Taking time to answer this as a wind down from Emerald Weapon Ex Brain Soupage. And I’m so glad! ;W; I think I butchered one of those “Get To Know An OC” thingies- uhh… oh [this one] actually! I chopped a lot out and I think added a couple different thingums instead because there was so much to that that it felt overwhelming to try to look at let alone fill out LOL but it was a really good jumping off point uvu;

And!!! Hilariously Chuu was my First XIV Character, so she’s dear to my heart for being the first one- but she very quickly made it known being the WOL even as an AU was something of a Joke (Her character showed great reluctance and even frustration at having to do So Much World Saving, maybe a side-effect of me rushing through MSQ to catch up with my other spouse [Who plays Talia, though they’ve got less time for XIV these days ;0;] and the rest of my friends who were all EndGame already at the time in Shadowbringers fhdjfjsjfs.) So I made…… many alts. Throwing spaghetti at the wall but I have SEVERE side-character/NPC brain and kept making “supporting cast” types =w=; it actually took me like. 3? Alts before making an ACTUAL WoL with my husband (Ishi’li and Kizuna) (as of Right Meow, they’re in post ARR, but we’ve been working on Keathan and Tuesday together because Keathan was… Keathan’s first character in xiv XD so we’ve been jaunting through the story together and experiencing every inch of it so we can pick and choose what The Boys™ get up to when we wanna focus on them x3)

🥰 I knew both speece during at least high school- but I actually knew Keathan as early as Elementary school hehe 😌 tho the speece didn’t proper marry until… i’unno, 2017? (For frustrating legal reasons, I’m not legally married, but. As it goes. Someday we’ll have money to visit the one state that has legal poly marriages. Also I struggle to remember our wedding year 🫢)

Since managing to make a Co-WoL with my husband I’ve managed to make one other Alt meant to be a Solo-WoL (Mochiie) but I have to really wrinkle my brain to sink time into playing him, since I’m trying to take screenshots throughout the story at what I find to be inspiring beats xD And even still he has an alt-universe where he’s just a side-character for the ‘Main Timeline’ (where there’s a bunch of spaghetti and like 8+ confirmed WoL’s and the Msq entourage looks HILARIOUS in canon, someday I’ll get all the data together and take pictures, but I think it’ll cook what’s left of my brain x’3) [it’s less concrete than anything I’ve posted about before or I’d try to explain it ;v;’ it’s just interesting mostly to see how the story gets stretched to fit around a larger community of heroes than a solo guy shouldering the whole burden lmfao.]

🌸🌸🌸…. I also hope you’re having a lovely week @gardenofballads !!!! I am tossing flower petals into the air around you !!! Thank you for the ask and well wishes n kind words 🥺💖 🌸🌸🌸

sometimes you have a gender thought that makes you go “wow. I am the bad trans rep”

[constantvariations]

Miles and Kerry admonishing their own characters for being white men always reminds me of this

[izzyspussy]
