White Tie Was Invented for Lesbians

it's 3 AM and my brain is liquefying from sleep deprivation and i'm going completely insane.

white tie is a dress code. it consists of a knee-length tailcoat with satin- or grosgrain-faced peak lapels, a stiff wing collar shirt, a low white waistcoat, adidas pants, and a white bow tie made of paper towels. in western dress codes, it's considered formal (technically, black tie is only considered semi-formal). it gained popularity in the early 20th century as an alternative to the frock coat. now it's not popular. in fact, it's dead. except for nobel laureates, debutantes, and unhinged dykes.

in 2019 i watched euphoria. i watched the halloween episode. rue was wearing an interesting costume. i wondered what it was supposed to be.

later, i played a game called fallen london. i finally accumulated enough echoes to buy some decent clothing. between a faded morning coat and a dignified tailcoat, i picked the tailcoat. it gave me +5 persuasion and +1 respectability. i wondered what a tailcoat was and looked it up.

a few months later, i bought a tailcoat. it was slightly moth-eaten and had been hanging in a closet for nearly a hundred years. i liked how the tails billowed when i walked. it hung three inches past my shoulders on both sides. the tails nearly reached down to the floor. i loved it.

that was the very first piece of men's clothing i ever bought, at least within this period that's become one of my main hobbies. now i'm a few days away from receiving a made-to-measure three-piece suit, i have a collection of two dozen bow ties and long ties, and i have 6 made-to-measure dress shirts. i wear a navy blazer at work and dress up for my girlfriend.

soon, i will have my white tie ensemble, too. i'm going to wear it for my wedding.

this is only the beginning, though. i think there's something fundamentally lesbian about white tie in its current state. the men have abandoned it. the men have strayed from the path. white tie is ripe for lesbian conquest. we will claim the no man's land and resurrect it. i forsee that it will be a place of flourishing for drag kings and crossdressing butch nerds.

in conclusion, i'm a marlene dietrich cultist.

i still have to watch morocco.

SEASON ONE: We only see each other at weddings and funerals

ﾟ ⋆ ﾟ ☂︎ ⋆ ﾟﾟ ⋆

New York, 2019.

In a darkened concert hall, a beautiful woman takes the stage, violin in her hand, raises her bow, and begins to play 'The Phantom of the Opera'. As her haunting melody carries through the concert hall.

Somewhere across the desolate wasteland, a figure makes its way through the cramped, dark hallway of a base, buttons being clicked, and machines buzzing. There was a lonely atmosphere circling the figure, Opening the door to reveal 'the moon'.

In the midst of a robbery happening, glass shattered around a father who's being thrown around by someone in black. "Show me where the safe is, or your family is dead! Where's the safe?" The man in black threatened the father as his family's screams were heard.

One of the robbers was harshly grabbed as someone in a suit who has a mask (it has similarities to batman, although unfortunately, cheaper.) and snaps the robber's neck. This masked man now fighting off the robbers in the house with his knives.

On a red carpet near central square, stood someone who is perhaps famous, struttig and posing for the paparazzis who gleefully took her photos. "Over here, over here!" chanted the men.

"There's our sweetheart!" the paparazzis smiled as this famous woman kept posing for them turning left and right to get all her angles.

The same concert hall echoes the melody of the 'Angel of Music'.

In the slumps of New York, a somewhat sober man got out of his bed. Pointing to one of his roomates, "Hey, you, stay strong. I believe in you. Okay?" He then pointed to another one, "You, not so much." chuckling at his own statement.

An attendant from the other side of the window handed him his belongings as he was now free, that dame man told him, "We'll see you soon." As if the one who just got out will come back to rehab again.

"Stay sober." The attendant called out for the last time to the man leaving the building.

The man on the moon's radio beeps. 'Incoming transmission..

The masked man picked up his bloodied knife from the floor, the TV in front of him announcing something that the world never expected. "We're going now live to a breaking story."

One of the paparazzis back in the red carpet called out to the woman, "Have you heard the news? When was the last time you saw your father?"

The man who just got out of rehab, met a person in the alley and shook hands, the next second he was now in an ambulance. The siren blaring in his ears as he was on breathing support, a small TV in the corner of the vehicle was conveniently put on the news, "Breaking news..."

"Moments ago, police reported the death of the most eccentric and reclusive billionaire."

Lights went on in the what was a darkened concert hall, revealing the beautiful woman, also revealing the sadly empty room with thousads of seats.

The same woman who played the violin walks the dark streets of New York, passing by an audio store, her vision on the single opened TV.

"Breaking news... Sir Reginald Hargreeves is dead."

A Steampunk Mystery with Real Bite: P. Djèlí Clark’s The Haunting of Tram Car 015

Alex Brown Wed Feb 20, 2019 11:30am

On the eve of one of the country’s most important votes in years, a spirit takes over a tram car. Agent Hamed Nasr has been at the ministry for a long time, too long perhaps. He’s seen just about everything. Joining him is a fresh recruit, Agent Onsi Youssef, an eager, learned young man. What starts off as a standard exorcism explodes into the unimaginable. This is no ordinary haunting, and to solve the case Hamed and Onsi will have to make some unexpected alliances in the city’s underbelly.

For years now, P. Djèlí Clark has quietly been cranking out short fiction that is as fantastical as it is attuned to social justice. Through captivating characters unlike any we’ve ever seen before and sumptuous worldbuilding that twists the familiar into something exciting and new, Clark works his own magic. Back in 2016, Tor.com published his novelette “A Dead Djinn in Cairo,” a supernatural murder mystery set in an alternate Cairo. With The Haunting of Tram Car 015, Clark expands on his “Dead Djinn” world here with masterful effect. Agent Fatma el-Sha’arawi and Siti from “Dead Djinn” both make appearances in here, but the main protagonists here are Hamed and Onsi.

The early twentieth century Cairo of Haunting isn’t the Cairo you’re familiar with. In this alternate steampunk-ish 1912, djinn and angels and necromancers and mystics share the city with opinionated citizens and agents from the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments, and Supernatural Entities. With the discovery of magic in the late nineteenth century, Egypt burst on the world stage as a major power player, driving out imperial threats and thriving on fantastical innovations. Airships and trolleys ferry Cairenes to and from neighborhoods of new money, magical beings, and hardworking immigrants. Country bumpkins and those longing for more freedom and educational and employment opportunities flow in from far flung regions as the metropolis expands and evolves.

However, while advancements in technology, aided in large part by the djinn and their supernatural ilk, have made Egypt a place of wonders, society is still catching up. All that’s about to change if women’s suffrage is passed. For years, women activists have been pushing for equal rights. Now with the backing of the queen and a groundswell of support, they have a real chance to win. But victory is not guaranteed. The old ways of restrictions and limitations based on gender are hard to shake and many are unwilling to accept women in pant suits, much less gaining equal rights.

It’s this complicated world that Hamed and Onsi live in. They are modernists who aren’t afraid of the future, but middle-aged Hamed perceives those changes differently than young Onsi. Onsi is young enough to still be unjaded. He’s ambitious and inquisitive enough want to try the unorthodox but remains respectful of the past. Hamed isn’t rigid or conservative, but he’s had years of the old ways and it isn’t always easy to keep an open mind about the wild antics of kids these days.

If Hamed straddles the line between the future and the past, Clark cleverly places the women characters (with one key exception) on the side of the future and the men (other than Hamed an Onsi) on the side of the past. It’s not that men are bad and women are good but more that men in a patriarchal society often feel they have something to lose when women gain rights. They don’t, but in a world built upon a foundation of oppressors and oppressed, those on top typically either dismiss the push for equity as a silly fantasy or try to reframe it in the context of a hierarchy. Through Hamed, Onsi, and Abla, Clark resists not just the notion that equity demands sacrifice and subtraction but that enlightenment requires Westernization.

As much as I love the idea of steampunk, I often have a hard time with the subgenre because it tends to if not outright glorify then simply ignore colonialism and imperialism. Without the Victorian era, you don’t get steampunk, but you also don’t get the Victorian era without the brutality, exploitation, desecration, and destruction of imperialism. It’s easy to set aside what Queen Victoria was doing to her colonies if all you care about are airships and goggles on top hats. Clark uses the British invasion of 1882 as a springboard—the newly arrived djinn helped repel the imperialists—then takes it one step further. Often, in both fiction and non-fiction, a society isn’t deemed “civilized” until they adopt Western rules, including those regulating the subservience of the conquered by the conquerors.

In Haunting, Clark shifts the focus from the British to the Egyptians. Agent el-Sha’arawi wears English menswear because to her the attire is exotic and unusual—she is, in fact, turning the imperialists’ obsession with exoticism against them. Abla explores the themes of immigration and migration by bridging the chasm between ancient beliefs and contemporary traditions. The djinn, angels, and other supernatural entities use their knowledge and gifts to benefit Egypt and prevent further invasion from Westerners. Cairo develops according to its own goals, needs, and socio-cultural interests with no influence from the Western world. In young adult science fiction and fantasy, the trend of POC authors deconstructing colonialism has been gaining traction recently, but it is still fairly uncommon in adult SFF. Here’s hoping Clark is only the tip of the iceberg.

If last year’s stellar novella The Black God’s Drum hadn’t already solidified P. Djèlí Clark as one of the best under-the-radar writers today, The Haunting of Tram Car 015 will. In just over 100 pages filled with monstrous creatures and fanciful magic, Clark critiques the patriarchy, imperialism, and Westernization under the guise of a slight plot about a haunted public transit trolley. This book should be on every recommendation list of the best fantasy fiction for 2019. I can’t wait to see what he writes next.

so there was this guy I worked with for a month that I didn't necessarily think was so cute or so hot but he was definitely so funny and looked so good in a green suit (why aren't men wearing pretty coloured suits more often????) and I saw he was wearing a wedding ring so I stopped looking at him bc I have a brain and today I was talking to the girl I work with now and she told me he was in relationships with two other girls from work and that he's always looking for a girlfriend and I was like hmmm but he wears a wedding ring and she told me noooo way he keeps going in and out of relationships so I said that's enough. I'm illegally checking if he's married or not (working in a court has its perks. and databases) and guess what? he is actually married. to a girl who was hired on the same day as me in 2019 when I worked there for the first time. my day is literally RUINED

Charles was 'furious' after being snubbed by Queen in favour of Edward and Sophie

The Royal Family have long spent their Christmases on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk and this year is no different, with King Charles III set to honour his late mother's much-loved tradition by gathering senior members of the Royal Family at the country home. It is well known that Queen Elizabeth II cherished the annual family gathering, not only as a family tradition but also as an extreme event for the country. This Christmas will mark the first gathering at the Norfolk estate in three years and the first any of them will have known without Her Majesty at the helm.

The family dynamic has seen a seismic shift since 2019 - when they last gathered at Sandringham - having lost both the Queen and her husband Prince Philip. Now King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla act as heads of the family. While the new monarch is adopting many of the festive traditions in a bid to maintain continuity, some changes have been made. For instance, Camilla invited her two children to the royal get-together for the first time, and Fergie has reportedly been brought in from the cold.

While this year there were empty chairs to be filled, other Christmases have seen the Royal Family pushed for space. On one such occasion, Charles was left "furious" when Sandringham was a full house and the Queen's rules meant he was deprived of his "favourite suite".

Richard Kay, royal commentator and old friend of Diana, Princess of Wales, explained that Christmas 1999 saw a new addition to the Royal Family. They had priority when it came to accommodation.

King Charles did not mention his second son and daughter-in-law in his first-ever Christmas broadcast. Prince Harry and Meghan didn't make an appearance either during the eight-minute-long speech written by the sovereign or in the imagery shown on screen as he was delivering it.

"A dollop of seasonal ill-will had descended on Sandringham when Charles was told he would have to yield up his favourite suite of rooms to his newly married younger brother, Edward," Mr Kay wrote in the Daily Mail in 2015. "The reason was that Charles was alone, and didn't need it, while the Earl and Countess of Wessex did."

Prince Edward married Sophie Rhys-Jones (now Sophie, Countess of Wessex) in June of 1999, becoming the fourth and last of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's children to get married.

The newlyweds were given the suite and "Charles, who has a deep need for his creature comforts, was furious," said Mr Kay, "but the Queen's rules at the Christmas gathering, where space can be tight, have to be obeyed".

As a royal lady, Sophie had "an automatic right to a dressing room" and despite his status as heir to the throne, the then-single Prince of Wales was forced to give way. Mr Kay explained: "There is a practical reason behind this. Royal ladies have to bring a range of outfits, often changing several times a day. They also have to wear something different each evening, while the men wear black tie."

Of course, six years later, when Charles married his long-term girlfriend Camilla Parker Bowles, he "got his favoured suite back". Camilla, now Queen Consort, was not invited to spend Christmas at Sandringham until after her and Charles' wedding in 2005.

"That was one of the most relaxed Christmases I can recall," said a retired courtier. "On top of that, Charles was especially happy because he'd got his favourite suite back."

Charles now faces his first Christmas without his mother and as a monarch. When the nation tuned into King George V's first Christmas speech on December 25, 1932, it introduced a revolutionary era in the royal fold.

While the festive period will no doubt be bittersweet for the family, it is understood that Charles wishes to celebrate the late Queen's legacy. Earlier this month, the Royal Family came together at Westminster Abbey for the Together At Christmas carol service. Spearheaded by Kate, Princess of Wales, the service recognised the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the country. It celebrated and showcased the joy that human connection and togetherness can bring.

It was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II and the values she upheld throughout her life and reign, including duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others.

The family's return to Sandringham honours the late Queen's love for her Norfolk estate, and the continuity of traditions such as the Christmas broadcast, walk to the Church of St Mary Magdalene and exchange of novelty Christmas gifts pays a personal tribute to her contributions as a matriarch.

For decades, the monarch invited her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to join her for festivities at Sandringham. While her family would come and leave throughout December, she would stay on the estate until February 6 - the anniversary of her father's death and her accession to the throne. Charles is expected to have a shorter break, with a busy calendar of engagements scheduled for January.

Wedding wine drunk is a lifestyle

[the-empress-7]

A list of all the things THAT HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED that they/Meghan did behind the BRf's back...as an own-goal...which created friction and made them distrust her -

1. The Vanity fair issue in 2017 (she told them it was to celebrate 100th episode of suits)

2. The love-shield statement by Harry (against Jason Knoufs advice, while Charles was on tour. Seems she wanted Harry to legitimize their relationship even after the VF article)

3. The Vogue UK issue in Sept 2019 (kept a secret for about 8 months)

4. The smart works capsule collection.

5. Promoting Misha nonoos label as part of smart works.

6. The dinky Jen Meyer jewellery merching (which BRF publicly put a stop to in late 2019, around US open)

7. The Elephant documentary. (Going to Lion King with Harry to meet Beyonce. Skipping the Deal memorial for the premier.)

8. Getting permission from queen to do an Invictus documentary but later changing that and doing mental health apple doc with Oprah. (And bashing queen and Charles in it for the 'genetic pain' inflicted upon him.

9. Treating the Aus tour as a vacation and thinking everyone was jealous of her. Taking Messica on the tour as part of emotional support group/stylist. (Gifting Messica a Range Rover as payment is not officially confirmed. Existing articles about it are a but wishy washy)

10. Wanting to release Bench with Vogue UK in 2019 to promote herself in the US market.

11. Collaborating on Finding Freedom (court records show she instructed Jason K to provide material to the authors).

12. Megxit. Planning on the US/Hollywood based career since 2018 and having a Us media team (and keeping them.a secret from her palace staff).

13. Using the Queen, Palace, titles as threat or coersion when something did not go her way (and possibly grabbing deals using those titles).

14. Cutting Harry off from his friends as early as the engagement ( 2017)

15. Secret engagement in early 2017 without the queens permission or informing her (and then waiting for her to get back from Balmoral to ask her permission).

(Remember the Botswana elephant pic with Harry? I suspect that's when they got engaged and she put that pic on her IG as a tease/"sweet nod")

16. Moving in with Harry way back in 2017 (and possibly living in with him for a good year and a half before marriage)

(I suspect that she arranged the VF interview and shoot in London as a flex and to show-off).

17. Hating Nott Cott for being too small and non-glamorous. Then planning to move out or get a fancy place (they leased a cottage in Coltswold)

18. Wearing merch jewellery (the HnM initial jewellery even though Jason K explicitly told her not to draw attention)

20. Deliberately excluding her Dad from the wedding and giving flimsy excuses to the BRF as to why meeting him in Mexico would not be practical. (We always suspected that she did that against the BRFs wishes and pissed them off with those antics alone).

21. Cutting off Harry's friends and later his family by pissing them off, acting superior to them.

22. Deliberately love-bombing male journalists or men in power so they would write favorably about her or do as she wishes. While being abrasive towards female staff or women. ( VF journalist, Pierc Morgan, Scoby, Ed Enninful, Markus, Jason K, Prince Charles, David Foster, Craig Ferguson etc etc etc)

(Treated badly - Catherine, Camilla, Queen, Sophie, all the WAGs of Harry's friends, female staff, RPO, AKelly, UN women etc etc)

23. Trying to cut William and Catherine out Harry's life by saying they are jealous of her popularity.

24. Wearing the blood diamonds in Fiji and then again for Charles bday even though PC himself asked her not to)

25. Trying to open a shady foundation with the help of her US agents to dipost the earnings she makes from her royalling.

26. Being too gung-ho about projects, throwing a million ideas and then changing her mind constantly. Being a mean boss.

27. Competing with the Queen, Camilla and Catherine for popularity by deliberately releasing pics, projects, papwalks or articles about herself on their important days.

28. Demanding a separate salary as a working royal. (And asking for all her expenses to be paid by Charles).

29. Harry's asking to be involved in the working of duchy of Cornwall and expecting to be paid for it (and getting pissed that it wasn't possible)

30. Being jealous of Williams and George's position as future Kings, and being paranoid about become irrelevant as a brand in a few years. (Hence leveraging their royal titles for fame, adoration and money)

31. Trying to sabotage Charles because he wanted to slim down the monarchy for financial reasons.

32. Securing Netflix, Spotify, quibi in 2019 before megxit. Planning megxit and the drama to justify these deals.

33. Demanding a wedding more expensive than will and Kate. Expecting a bank holiday to be declared for her wedding. Not planning anything well (and so PC and BP staff had to step in to arrange basic things)

34. Asking the wedding choir for constant re-do (12 times, and then rejecting the final selection anyway).

35. Rejecting the queen and Charles attempts to reconcile her with her side of family.

40. Stood up Charles for his documentary at the last minute.

41. Inviting celebs for her wedding even though she had never met them.

42. Receiving freebies as a royal (so far confirmed is Soho Amsterdam getaway, Jen Meyer jewellery, things she promoted on SR ig, private jets from Rich celeb friends)

43. Demanding separate staff from the Cambridges and being salty for being put under the BP umbrella (they did not like the checks and rules and hid everything from BP)

44. Rejecting palace doctors and deliberately creating controversy with bump clutching for publicity (she was angry palace asked her to remain low-key and to stop patting her belly so much lol)

45. Going behind Williams back and love-bombing Charles. Going behin Charles' back and trying to cosy in with the queen. Insulting queens staff and bad mouthing them in interviews to undermine the queen in the public's eye.

46. Using the Diana template and trying to be Diana 2.0 as a branding strategy. And resorting to self-victimisation to become popular against the best of advice from her UK advisors.

47. Rejecting South Africa as a place they could move to after the palace arranged for the couple to spend their initial years there (this to you dermine Harry and emotionally manipulate him, I believe)

48. Reading everything about themselvesand then berating staff to correct opinions on Tumblr, LSA, YouTube etc. (Doxing bloggers who were critical of her)

49. Weaponizing her fandom, Sussex squad (they acknowledged a super sugar, Scoby frequently collaborates with them, they acknowledged fundraisers etc)

50. Being work-shy. And barging in on Harry's patronages for publicity. Dragging him away in the middle of conversations. Excessive PDA.

51. Oprah interview. And using that to push the racism angle, jealousy angle and suicide angle. (As a retaliation for taking away Harry's patronages)

52. The exorbitant NYC baby shower. Getting freebies from companies as gifts. Saying Serena comped for the shower when it was a publicity stunt and merching gig.

53. Lying to queen about Lily's name. And lying to public.

54. Blackmailing BRF for jubilee using the kids as a bargaining chip. (And then walking off in a huff when rejected)

Please note: These are the things that I believe the BRF got to know about or knew about. Things that are provable with actual reciepts. Proved either in articles over the years or various books published so far. I'm not including the things she "may" have done or rumours or hear-say.

=============

THIS. SUBMISSION. IS. EVERYTHING.

Can I tell you what I consider to be the most heinous on the list? It's the merching. Her merching was completely against the BRF's financial code of conduct, never mind that fact that universally everyone would agree that a public servant who uses their office for personal profit is CORRUPT.

I am not diminishing the hurt that she caused her staff or even the Cambridges, but I simply cannot abide by people who abuse the public trust and not to mention misuse hard-earned tax payer money. Which is exactly what Meghan did. Every penny spent on her was to prop her up and only her.

My problem with Meghan has always been about her deception and her behavior and this incredible list by you is the proof.

Imagine Me And You (I Do) by BlackUnicorn (NR)

“Next,” the kid called out and Crowley stepped out of the way, “What can I get you?” “An Earl Grey would be lovely,” the person next in line said, voice practically vibrating with excitement and joy, “Two plain scones. Oh, and some of that scrumptious looking lemon drizzle you have there. Thank you, dear.” Once again, the kid stared, and Crowley couldn’t help but turn around and stare as well – a halo of curls so blond they looked white in the light of the sun, bright blue eyes that shone with unmasked delight, a smile so wide it was almost blinding. And beige. A whole lot of beige. “Name?” “Azra.” If Azra was aware of the attention he was getting from both the barista and Crowley, he didn’t show it, simply kept on smiling a smile that kind of made Crowley want to do all sorts of unspeakable things, like ask for his number, like take him out to dinner, like curl up on a couch with him and eat ice cream straight from the tub while watching James Bond together, like –

An asexual sex worker and a bookseller who doesn't sell books - stranger things have happened, for sure.

Heart Shaped Bruises by ivoryline (T)

Crowley and Aziraphale have been hanging around the same pub since the eighties. At some point, they seem to have fallen in love.

Every Thursday at around 6 p.m., give or take a quarter hour, Crowley finds himself at a little shithole pub called Garden’s Gate. Aziraphale is also there around that time, but that’s not why Crowley goes. He couldn’t care less what Aziraphale does. No, he goes there because he’s been parking his arse in the same spot since the eighties and he thinks he might have a coronary if his boots were to ever grace another establishment’s disgusting carpet. The barkeep knows him, and probably hates him, which suits Crowley perfectly.

dancing queen (guaranteed to blow your mind) by Quilly (T)

Warlock has a secret, and it's that he invited three former staff members from his estranged parents' household to his wedding in the hopes that one of them is the one Nanny is still in love with.

Crowley is just wondering what entity he pissed off to make three of his old flames show up the day before his adopted kid's wedding.

🏳️‍⚧️ Luigi is Trans Masc 🏳️‍⚧️

Long Post!!!

Now that I have your attention, here are some reasons that I headcanon Luigi as trans, based off of my own experience as a trans masc person.

1) He ghosts hunts even when he has the option to say no.

Could this be a ‘I have to save my loved ones from danger’ or a ‘this is the right thing to do even though I’m scared’ situation? Yeah! But I’m trans and grasping for straws, so let me have this.

I put this as a reason for him being trans, because I believe he’s doing it because he’s a man and he’s ‘not supposed to be afraid’.

Luigi is assumed to be 24, and his character was first introduced in the 1980s, specifically 1983. Assuming he was 24 when the first game released, he would have been born in 1959 (feel free to check my math on that).

Although his character was introduced in the 80s where men tended to be more feminine and flamboyant, he was probably raised with the idea that men should be tough and strong, and should lead. Even if we throw release date and age aside, even if he was born in my generation, those stereotypes of men still exist and are taught within society. Even as those norms are being broken day after day, he would have still been exposed to the toxic masculinity.

Luigi, from what we’ve seen of his adventures, tends to be more scared and less ‘tough’ than what was expected of a man. From what we know of Luigi, we can safely assume that (if he was trans) he would be doing this not only for his family and friends, but to prove he was tough and strong, and that he was manly.

2) He dresses like his brother.

Yes, he is a plumber by trade, but he also ghosts hunts, and makes bank off of that. You think he would wear a different outfit when he ghost hunts simply because denim Isn’t meant for physical activity. Anyone who’s run in jeans knows that it isn’t exactly meant to be stretchy. It’s (supposed to be) designed to withstand the test of time. So why doesn’t Luigi change from plumbing cloths (specifically his denim overalls) to something more suited for the running he has to do in various places for ghost hunting? Because Mario wears overalls and a t-shirt.

From what I’ve seen on social media, other trans people follow the lead of those around them who match their gender identity/their presentation. I would do the same was well. I would look at what my dad wore, what my brother would wear, and what guys at school wore. I developed my style after what I had seen, so I could pass.

While you don’t have to pass to be trans (or even have the desire to), it’s a common theme amongst trans people to try and blend in with cis society. This can be for safety reasons, or just because they want to fit in with their peers.

Luigi clearly looks up to his brother, crying tears of joy whenever Mario is saved from King Boo. He congratulates him when he wins events. He supports him, because he looks up to him. They’re brothers after all!

It makes sense that Luigi would mirror Mario, since they are so close. Since Mario is most often seen wearing his overalls, Luigi follows suit, because it’s what he believes guys do. He’s following the example that Mario set for him.

3) Luigi’s view on gender expression.

Luigi has had a couple of instances where he is known to ignore typical gender stereotypes, specifically with dresses.

In the game super Mario Odyssey, Mario can be seen wear a wedding gown with a veil, and Luigi is only concerned that Mario didn’t tell him about the wedding. There was no wedding, and Luigi didn’t mock Mario when informed that his brother was wearing the gown for fun.

The second major instance is from the New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe website. The website tells us that only Toadette can use the Super crown. The last part of the Super Crown’s description says “Sorry Luigi- Only Toadette can use this item!”

While this could point to Luigi being trans fem instead of trans masc, I would like to point out that recently, it has become more accepted that men can dress feminine. Since this game was released in 2019, it’s completely possible that Luigi has caught onto this, and is becoming more accepted and accepting of his femininity as a man. This would also be plenty of time to unlearn harmful stereotypes from when he was younger, about what men can and can’t do. Although he still sticks with old habits, he’s learning more about how the world around him works, and how it’s changing day by day.

I believe that Luigi has a better understanding of gender and gender expression because he is trans. He’s learning to accept that he doesn’t have to be hyper masculine to be a valid guy.

4) How he got his mustache and flat chest (and… other stuff).

This section will be discussing the effects of hormones, surgeries, and genitalia. Please keep this in mind as you read.

This is more of an explanation for how certain things happened.

How did he grow a mustache? Testosterone. It was likely after helping his brother with his career, and winning sporting events he had a good amount of income to start Testosterone. Another option? Minoxidil. Minoxidil was tested to see if it could cure ulcers in the 50s. Through testing, The Upjohn Company discovered it opened blood vessels and allowed for blood to flow more smoothly. In the late 70s, it was FDA approved for patients to use if they suffer from high blood pressure. Through this, they discovered that minoxidil also has the side effect of hair growth. The FDA approved the product to be sold, and it was called Rogaine. Meaning Luigi would have had access to something to grow facial hair, even if testosterone wasn’t an option.

What about his flat chest?

Binding or Top surgery. Both were an option by the time Luigi was old enough. Laurence Michael Dillon was a trans person who was born in 1915 and died in 1962. While I do recommend you look at more of his story, what I want to focus on is the fact he had top surgery. While the surgery was still fairly early in it’s development, it was possible. Luigi, who wasn’t born until 1959 (as previously discussed) would have the option to get top surgery when he became an adult.

Another option would be binding, though I think this is less likely because of how binding restricts physical activity. Binding in any way makes it difficult to run or exert yourself in general. We see Luigi run a LOT in various games, and for decent amounts of time too. It’s less likely that he’s binding.

The last thing is his penis.

There was a huge joke going around about the bulge we saw in a promotion for Mario Tennis Aces. People were discussing how large it was, and Even Mattpat on Game Theory discussed the measurements to determine how large it was.

Why was it so noticeable? Well bottom surgery was also an option for him pretty early on. Surgeons (from what I’ve been told be social media) will ask how you’d like to look like. Even if he decided to not get bottom surgery, he could be wearing a packer.

A packer is anything you use to give the feeling and or appearance of a penis, specifically used by trans masc people who were not born with a penis. There are many different types of packers (including clean rolled up socks) that people may use. What’s most important to note though, is they have a high chance of moving around.

Even with harnesses or underwear specifically designed to keep a packer in place, they can still shift around in your pants, especially when you’re doing a lot of moving. From my experience, my packers tent to move forward rather than back. Wearing athletic shorts will also make that area more pronounced as the fabric is looser, so if Luigi was wearing a packer, we’d know.

5) He’s trans cause I say so.

Like I said in the beginning, it’s a head canon. I say he’s trans because it’s a cool idea. A Nintendo character that is trans, and isn’t being hidden, explained away, or made fun of (like Vivian from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door). I like the idea that Luigi is a proud trans guy, and we don’t know because it doesn’t matter. He’s a guy because he’s a guy. He doesn’t just ‘become’ a guy because he goes through surgeries or goes in hormones. He’s trans, and t doesn’t matter if we know or not, because his trans identity isn’t important to the story we’re playing, or our knowledge to know. We aren’t entitled to it.

He’s a guy who happens to be trans, and that’s that.

If there is any misinformation above, please let me know so I can correct it. This was meant to be a fun post about my head canon, but I did use real world examples t explain it, and if I got something wrong, I’d like to know. Thanks!

The Royal Series | Pt. I

The Royal Series Masterlist

I posted this series in 2018 but in late 2019, my blog got hacked and I lost all my work. This is me reposting the written chapters of The Royal Series after crying to my husband after I lost it along with all my writing on here. Enjoy. x

It had been long since you had let your hair down for a night.

You longed for a lowkey life, although you knew that the royal protocols you had been following since you were a child were far too embedded in you – yet, you knew how to have your fun.

You found fun in your trips to get milk and cheese yourself, in the strolls you went on in the early morning, when you attended a friend’s wedding, when your oldest brother wasn’t Prince William who was close in line, but a protective brother whom you teased for being old, when your ginger brother, Harry, patted you on the back and helped you with the plans that would make your grandma, the Queen, not necessarily pleased, when you danced with your best friend, and,

when you listened to music; which explained where you were that moment.

The arena was lit, some people who passed by you walking past you without a care, probably thinking that a princess in a Harry Styles concert in Los Angeles was too far-fetched, while others stood stunned.

In your defence, you looked unsuspicious in your black merch hoodie and black jeans, your best friend, Farrah – whom you met at university –, beside you in a casual attire as well, but the two bulky men walking behind you and close in black suits and wireless earbuds did little to conceal you.

Reaching your seats, you grinned at your best friend as you sat. From your peripheral, you saw your two private guards looking around, standing in the aisle beside Farrah’s seat.

“Hey,” you grabbed their attention, pointing with your thumb behind your back at the empty seats, “Would you please sit?”

“Your Highness w-”

"Please, it's a command. Sit here, enjoy the show." You told the two guards who intently looked at you before giving a reluctant nod.

In your balcony seat, your eyes then fell on the stage in anticipation.

"Your Highness," You heard someone beside you, making you look.

A brunet man, no older than 32, stood with a polite and kind smile.

You smiled. "Are you Jeffery?" He nodded, beginning to politely bow his head a tad. You offered your hand with a wide grin, "Thank you for giving me seats in such a short notice, I’m really sorry for any inconvenience."

"Oh no, it really is a pleasure, your Highness." Jeff tipped is head.

"Just Y/N." You smiled, glancing at the stage as the opening act were saying their goodbyes. "He's coming out now, isn't he?"

"Yeah, yeah, he is. Have you been a fan for long?" Jeff asked as you both stood alongside each other, looking at the stage.

"Quite long actually. Since One Direction," You giggled, shrugging, "Always wanted to attend one of their concerts but only now have I been able to do so. Harry has a lovely voice. I have the album on a lot." You laughed, letting Jeff in on your secret, “But hey, keep that between us.” You joked.

Jeff chuckled, "Who would've guessed that the Princess of the United Kingdom is a Harry Styles fan?"

“Trust me, you’d be surprised.” Farrah said, joining in as the three of you laughed.

“I’ll be right there with the rest of the crew,” Jeff pointed at a different place where people from the crew stood, almost all of them looking at you. At you looking at them, they all turned in embarrassment which made you chuckle to yourself before looking at Jeff who had a bashful smile, “Sorry about that. It’s exciting.”

“It’s exciting for me, too.” You assured him.

“Well, please call me or have anyone to do so if you need anything, your H-” you gave him a look, “Y/N.”

“Thank you, Jeffrey.”

“No problem, Y/N.”

The lights flickered off, your heart fluttering in excitement as you stood up, beginning to cheer with the fans.

The notes of Ever Since New York started playing before the lights were on, making you finally see the man you had flown out to see.

In a blue floral suit, Harry stood with his guitar before he began singing, Farrah recording you as you dramatically sang along.

With every song, you and Farrah let loose; dancing together and screaming the lyrics, vibing with Harry and his band. Hell, you caught one of your guards bob his head to Only Angel before his colleague swatted his arm.

It didn't take long for more people to notice the presence of the English Princess and her famous best friend, some phones and flashes being directed your way but experiencing the excitement and utter euphoria of it all, you chose to ignore the attention.

You were captivated to say the least by his performance, posting stories to your private Instagram account, isthataladybug, of a 102 follower.

You knew that he was a cheeky person who enjoyed a nice chat, so him walking around with his mic and talking to fans wasn’t of any surprise, yet, you didn’t predict him addressing you.

"I would just like to greet someone incredibly special here tonight," Harry said through the mic as he wandered on stage before looking your way, "Hi!" He grinned, waving at you. "All well?"

With a grin and flushed cheeks, you nodded and gave him thumbs up.

With a dimpled smile, Harry tipped his head and gave you a curtesy which sent everyone in a frenzy and you and Farrah to laugh.

Farrah nudged you, making you turn to look at her. "We're meeting him, right?"

You shrugged, "Jeff said we will. Said Harry would have his head if we didn’t.”

To say you were disappointed when Harry said his goodbyes after finishing the setlist would be an understatement, although the fact that you were meeting him seemed to brighten you up a tad.

Backstage was chaotic.

Everyone was running around, wanting to be on their best behaviours and look like it for when the Princess came in, every person telling the other that Jeff was on his way to get you and your best friend and that in just a few, they would be seeing the Princess of the United Kingdom in the flesh.

Harry was no better, pacing around the room, making sure he looked decent and collected. Running his fingers through his hair, he turned to look at his band, “How do I look?”

“Like you’re not going to pass out in any second.” Sarah said sarcastically.

"Fuck, I'm so nervous." Harry laughed, wiping his sweaty palms on his suit trousers.

"So am I. Who would've thought that I'm going to meet the Princess of the United Kingdom? Someone better film this." Clare said before letting out a breath as the band stood in the dressing room.

"I-" Adam was cut off by a knock on the door.

They looked at each other with wide eyes before Harry cleared his throat, standing straighter. "Come in!"

Jeff came inside first, his figure hiding yours before he walked further inside and you and Farrah were then seen. The grin on your face was contagious.

Lined, with Harry at the end, you began to shake hands with the band.

"You were absolutely amazing!" You said as you shook their hands, one by one before reaching Harry.

Neither of you knew that the other was about to pass out from the nerves and excitement as you both smiled at each other.

"Thank you for the show. You're as good live as the studio version, if not better." You said.

Blushing at the comment, Harry softly shook your hand. "It's my honour, your Highness."

"Y/N," you corrected him, your hand still in his. "Just Y/N."

"Y/N," Harry repeated with a charming smile. "An honour, Y/N."

Being this close to him, you noticed how emerald Harry's eyes were. Raspberry pink lips and blushing cheeks, he was a sight for sore eyes.

It was cliché, anyone from the outside would say so, but have a 23-year-old Princess meet a 23-year-old artist whom she had been listening to for years and try not to make it cliché; hell, cliché or not, it was a meeting for the stories.

Farrah clearing her throat was what brought you out of your trance, making you remove your hand from Harry's.

"Well, we were actually going out for a drink if you want to join? Is that okay for you?" Sarah asked, “Oh my God, I just asked the Princess to grab a drink with us, I’m so sorry, your Highness.”

“Hey, no, no,” you quickly shook your head, “It’s fine,” you glanced at the guards and your best friend who gave you a nod, "I’d love to join if you’re all okay with Farrah and I joining. We wouldn’t want to interrupt any band-bonding time."

"Of course!" Harry grinned. "We're more than okay."

Telling you the lowkey bar – that served “amazing fries and boneless chicken wings” as Adam said – they were driving to, you exchanged “see you later’s” before you separated ways.

Right as you sat in the car, Farrah turned to face you, “What was that?”

In confusion, you looked at her, “What was what?”

“You and Harry fucking Styles! What was that?” She laughed excitedly, “Please make it happen.”

“Make what happen? You’re a lunatic!”

“You just pulled a Nicholas Sparks back there; ogling at each other, holding hands like yes, Mr. Darcy, I’d let you wed me.” She said dramatically, putting the back of her hand against her forehead.

“First of all, never do this again,” you cringed jokingly, “Second of all, what’s wrong with you? I have a conversation with a lad and suddenly I should get married to him?”

“He’s not just any lad, don’t discredit him like that.”

“Why don’t you go out with him then, Miss Farrah?” You teased her.

“Because I’m Muslim and it won’t work out, you know with our fa-”

“I was kidding.”

“I wasn’t when I said you pulled a Nicholas Sparks.”

“I should’ve brought Emma instead of you.” You let out a sigh.

“Imagine if she could’ve joined though. It would’ve been Emma and I against you.” Farrah poked your arm.

“You’re unbelievable.”

Arriving at the bar, you and Farrah entered, finding that it wasn’t at all crowded but quite the opposite. Very few people were inside, all seeming to mind their business as they ate and drank, a jukebox playing music to add to the atmosphere of the place.

Among the people, your eyes fell on the band you were meeting, Harry instantly standing and waving at you with a grin.

They had left you seats, although you knew your guards were going to stand as your shadows.

Sitting on the opposite seat from Harry, you were seated beside Sarah, the “discreet” excited expression she gave to Mitch not going unnoticed but you only smiled to yourself instead of commenting.

“This was your second show, wasn’t it?” You asked, all of them nodding and replying with confirmation, “Any idea what this tour will have for you?”

“So many headaches,” Hélène replied in her French accent with a chuckle, “So, so many headaches.”

“Brighten up,” Clare nudged the photographer jokingly, “It’s only the second night.”

“I feel like this tour would be a milestone in all of our lives,” Adam replied, seeming to avoid eye contact with you before he looked at his bandmates, “Literally all of us.”

“A-Are you okay?” Farrah asked him, causing Adam’s posture to relax as he laughed.

“I just don’t know if I should look at you,” he said as he looked at you, “What if it’s disrespectful? Illegal?”

“Oh my God, no,” you laughed as you shook your head, “I’m sitting at a bar in Los Angeles with you, Adam, that’s not exactly a Trooping the Colour.”

“When we first heard you were attending,” Harry began, “We all just sort of,” his eyes widened before he laughed, “You know what?” He turned to look at Adam, “That’s a milestone right there.”

“You speak too highly of me,” you rolled your eyes jokingly, “What about all of you? That album, tonight, you should give yourself more credit.”

“Makes sense that people love you so much.” Mitch said with a small smile.

“Not everyone loves her, excuse you,” Farrah joked, raising her hand up.

“Ah, bullshit.” You rolled your eyes, “You love me the most.”

“No?”

“That’s denial.”

Conversations seemed to flow naturally among everyone at the table, laughter being heard as well as a few claps from how hard one of you would be laughing.

It wasn’t until you realised that you hadn’t drank anything that you stood up, “I’m going to grab something to drink. Does anyone want anything?”

A chorus of “thank you’s” was heard, you fully knowing that they probably hadn’t bothered to even ask you to get them anything because of your title.

“I’ll bring these fries and wings for all of us you told me about.” You pointed at Adam.

“I’ll join you.” Harry said, standing from his place and approaching you before the both of you walked towards the bar.

“Sorry if they make you uncomfortable.” You mumbled to Harry as you both sat on stools.

“Who?”

“Sid and Andrew, the guards,” you replied, “They’re the sweetest actually.” You smiled at the men who stood at a safe distance away from you but nearby, both of them tipping their heads at you before they began looking around.

“No, of course not,” Harry shook his head, “I thought you’d have more with you honestly.”

You waved off, “No, two are enough. Daddy wanted me to walk around with 6 but,” you laughed, “God, no.”

Harry smiled before his smile turned into a smirk, “Did you just say Daddy?”

“Ye-Gross, stop! That’s my father!” You groaned, stuffing your face in your hands as Harry laughed, “How old are you, Styles? 14?”

“And a half actually.”

“Ha, ha.” You tried to stifle your smile as you looked up at him, “It’s Mummy and Daddy for us, excuse you.”

“It’s cute.” Harry smiled timidly.

“It was until you commented.” You teased him, giving him a shrug.

“I apologise, your Highness. Please, don’t behead me.” Dramatically, Harry put a hand to his heart.

“I’ll think about it.” You put both hands on the counter gracefully, placing one above the other as you turned away from him before the both of you laughed.

Neither of you had noticed that you hadn’t ordered yet, only remembering when the bartender came over to take your order.

After ordering, you were both quiet, listening to the music that sounded in the place, you swaying slightly in your seat as you looked around.

"Are you not scared?"

You turned to look at Harry, “Excuse me?”

“Are you not scared?” He repeated.

"Of what?” You asked.

"Being seen in here. The rumours. I mean my rumours I can take care of but royal rumours?" Harry shrugged.

“Why? Are you scared?” The tiny smirk that was your lips were drawn into didn’t go unnoticed by Harry, feeling his lips lift into one of his own just at the sight of yours.

Harry took a moment to drink you up; the vibe you gave off was nothing he imagined. The dainty, soft princess he saw on the screen ever since he was young wasn't who sat in front of him.

In front of him was a confident woman, fearless and ready to seize whatever risk thrown at her. A woman who refused to have her identity shaped up and formed by her family and what the world was trying to limit her to, all for a title.

That's why with a thumping heart and an amused smile, Harry replied; "No, Princess. I'm not scared."

narrowing down to the top five looks took five years off my life but i did it for you and all the other hobians out there 💕

here goes nothing:

5. 2019 MMA

a look. never mind that dionysus is one of my favorite songs to watch them perform live, hoseok absolutely slayed this look. the asymmetrical coat and the perfectly tailored clothes and of course -- the forehead. always have to give it up for the forehead.

4. Jingle Ball

hottest groomsman at your cousin's wedding vibes. have mercy, he looked so damned good this night. the bow tie? please. that GIF of him vibing to mic drop in this getup that seems to exist only to torture me? please.

3. Winter Package Helsinki

i love everything about these photos, the overcast sky and the coat and the gloves. hoseok looks like the softest, most amazing boyfriend. stunning.

2. Esquire

the boots y'all, the BOOTS. please, his swagger jumps off the fucking page in these photos. i live for the buttons and the clean lines of his coat and pants. another forehead moment so y'all know i had to sit down when this entire photoshoot came out. styling on point. raises for all the noonas.

1. GQ

on a scale of one to ten, this shit was DEFCON five. ana.exe did not compute for a whole day after i saw these photos. i still glitch from time to time when they come across the dash. there's basically too much material to work with here. the bomber jacket! the tie! the mad men style suit. the brooding. shit y'all, i think i'm gonna have to go lie down.
