honestly i think i thought they were a very malleable char? like, that he wld change w the player's decisions. and i wasn't wrong entirely, because that's. how story driven gaming works, but siffrin has a much stronger personality and identity than i thought. i also thought they were in space for some reason i did NOT listen to coda's rants

26. FREEBIE QUESTION!!

hes a cutie :3

[ahamkara-apologist]

4 for Eramis, 6, 8. I really love you talking.

ERAMISKELLL HELL YEAH. Also glad you like my rambles, always happy to oblige with more!!

4. What general Spicy Headcanons do you have?

-Eramis is Extremely Sexy by Eliksni standards. They only get more fertile as they age, and because Eramis is old and yet still in prime health, she's clearly showing off that she's got the Good Genes and is pinging all those subconscious sexual favoritism triggers for Good Mate. Pair that with the fact that she is now Kell- aka the top of the hierarchy, she who gets her pick of mates and has no limit on the amount she can keep- and you have a recipe for her being mega sexy. She was considered pretty in a very traditional, pre-Great Machine way back on Riis (as she has a boxy muzzle rather than a rounded one, which is what became the beauty standard during the Golden Age), but post-Whirlwind?? Hooo boy. Too bad this is when she became the least interested in fucking bc of trauma reasons lmaooo

-She's dominant to everyone bar Athrys, but because she likes to take care of her partners first and foremost, not bc she craves pure control. She's a gentle, firm dom who's liberal with her praise (to Eliksni, anyways) and good at keeping a sharp eye on what they need. Athrys is the only one she submits to bc Athrys was her heartmate of many years, and now she can't do that with anyone else w/out being reminded of her and missing her. She's very comfortable with putting people in their place, but I don't think that she'd ever be able to bring herself to cause harm to one of her partners, even if they asked for it. She's a caretaker, not a sadist. THAT BEING SAID, that does not include rough handling- THAT she can do

-Much like fish, Eliksni can change sex as needed, but she generally sticks with the female morph, even though her gender identity verges towards the nb. The reason why I said that she's ambivalent towards this layout is because on one hand, it's what she's the most used to using, but on the other hand, the reason why she sticks with it is because she used to struggle a lot with carrying clutches to term on account of how small she is (in comparison to other Eliksni), so she was never really able to utilize the male morph when she was with Athrys and they were actively focusing on producing clutches of their own. On the OTHER hand, however, she's very very good at utilizing her ovipositor to its fullest extent of her pleasuregiving capabilities, so she's very pleased with that. On the last hand, she fucking hates ovulation so if you're sticking out a heat cycle with her, be prepared to hear her complaining a lot in the phase between ovulation getting induced and her actually laying the eggs in you

-Very good at prepping smaller partners for getting fucked on account of being that smaller partner used to getting fucked. When she first pairbonded with Athrys, they had to spend a better part of their first cycle together just prepping her enough for her to be able to take Athrys's ovipositor without causing pain, so she places a lot of value on foreplay. If you're impatient then good fucking luck bc she's stubborn and she'd much rather get you off multiple times to ensure you're loose and wet and ready enough for her before you're even allowed to THINK about touching her ovipositor.

-She'd sneer at the idea of fucking a human if asked, but she's morbidly curious about it. Good luck getting that knowledge out of her though

-Did I mention that she hates going into heat? Bc yeah, she hates going into heat. This isn't even an 'I miss my wife Tails' meme time, she just genuinely really hates how she goes from being suddenly super anxious to then not being able to focus on anything bc she's so horny, and then, once ovulation is induced by the first phase of fuckin', the ovulation cramps suck ass, even if laying them into someone is all well and dandy. Phylaks and Kridis became VERY used to hearing her bitch about how the one thing that she misses from the Prison of Elders was being too starved/stressed to go into heat. Athrys used to find it endearing how worked up she'd get about it, which Eramis was seldom amused by. Once the worst parts of the leadup are over though, she becomes super touchy and lovey-dovey from the hormone high; good luck being rid of her because she's going to cling to you like glue

-Oh yeah, on the topic of humanfucking: she's aware that blowjobs are a thing, but absolutely refuses to believe they're real because she cannot fathom letting teeth get that close to her genitals. No thanks, she's fine, she'll pass. The appeal for humans that she DOES begrudgingly get is the fact that human women look very soft and warm and fun to hold and squish and dote on, but again- she's not going to admit to that, even to herself

-The overall shape of her ovipositor looks like that of the isonade model from hodge podge entourage. Her vaginal opening is a tight slit right behind it, with very reduced to near absent inner folds- though the few times she molted into the male morph, these became more noticible. She's also got fewer spines on her ovipositor than most Eliksni do, but the few that she does have tend to be longer and more hooked than the rest

okay, now onto the rest of them ksjfdhgb

6. Do you have any pairings or ships, both Canon or not?

-I do!! Though the lens that I see them through are, uh, EXTREMELY arocoded because I myself am aro, so I yearn for this really specific dynamic where two characters deeply trust each other and are sexually intimate rather than actually having romantic feelings for one another, and that makes it a bit more complicated. I'll list them all out here

-Aeris(OC)/Taniks [nonromantic enemies-to-fuckbuddies/accidental husbands]: this is a meme ship that accidentally became a thing after Aeris bit Taniks on the throat to distract him in a DnDestiny session, because I forgot the popular fanon where that is basically a marriage proposal, and then Taniks reciprocated with a legit claiming/mating bite afterwards. That then made me realize that they're perfect for each other because Aeris is an aro weirdo who's an extreme masochist with zero desire for typical relationships and Taniks is a sadist who desperately needs some form of partner but is way too insane for most normal people. They accidentally balance each other out and I have a lot of fun with it; i've even written a fic for them exploring this dynamic a bit, minus the accidental husbands (which can be found right here)

-Eramis/Athrys (romantic): BOI I DIE!!! SHIT BOI. I want Athrys lore to drop during Revenant SOOO FUCKING BAD you dont even fucking know. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BUNGIE GIVE US SOME LESBIAN HAPPY ENDINGS

-O14: everyone loves O14. No need to explain. They're husbands ur honour

-Osiris/Felwinter (platonic): The specific vibe of this one is that I hc Osiris as a trans man who did his transition via Light, but transitioning really fucking sucks in that it makes you Incredibly Fucking Horny while still being wayyy too uncomfortable in your own body for sex with another human being to feel good. In Osiris's case, Felwinter was fine with helping because he didn't see the point in letting him suffer unnecessarily, and Osiris was okay with it because Felwinter was demisexual and thus had zero interest in his body, so he was 'safe'. Power dynamics weren't an issue either bc Osiris being rezzed in his 50s meant that there's no major power gap between them like with most mentor/student relationships. I've also written this before, if you're interested

-Felwinter/Timur (romantic): Idk I just think they're neat. I love the idea of a freak who's obsessed with Braytech to fall in love with another freak who's literally Braytech. They're fun :)

-Eris/Drifter (platonic): They're QPPs to me and you can't tell me otherwise. Yes I know how they are in canon but just let me have this okay. Please. Yes they fuck but it's entirely a platonic 'let me help you get comfortable in your own skin again/i'm happy to blow off some energy' dynamic over anything else

-Drifter/Shin Malphur (??): im gonna be honest i barely think of this ship bc im not a shin dude, but I love the idea of them having romantically charged hatefuck interactions that just never get a solid closure on what they mean to each other because of how the two of them are. Also they're both trans so its t4t nonsense going on here on top of it all lmao

-Eris/Ikora (romantic): IM INSANE ABOUT THEM. Every interaction they have in game is soooo 'exes that fell apart because of tragic life events, not because they stopped being in love with each other' to me. I love the idea that the Hellmouth was what broke them up and that they've just been aching to get back together this whole time, but Eris needed time to heal without thinking about romance and she's convinced herself that Ikora is still in love with the person she used to be vs the person she's become when Ikora is, in reality, still very much in love with her and aching to let her know, but Eris's mental health and recovery is paramount so she's still just... waiting for her, in agony bc she can't help her directly without Eris pushing her away to avoid the hurt. Drifter's working on it for her, but...it's slow going

-Eramis/Taniks (platonic): This one can basically be summed up as two very private, very traumatized genderqueer individuals making a pact to fuck each other through their heats because one of them only trusts the other, and said other can't sleep with someone who actually wants to care for her without thinking about her lost wife and getting depressed over it. Taniks is only comfortable revealing her feminine self around Eramis, and Eramis is too busy trying to wrangle Taniks's horribly undersocialized ass during this whole ordeal to remember how much she misses Athrys. It works out, until it doesn't

-Misraaks/Taniks (enemies to heatmates, very much neither platonic nor romantic): I'm going to be honest here, the reasoning behind this ship is mostly 'I want to see these two snarling at each other as they fuck and then awkwardly having to deal with the consequences, those consequences being unexpected hatchlings' and that's about it

-Uldren/Crow/Jolyon (romantic): They're a fucking disaster. I'm watching this car crash through opera goggles with the utmost sympathy for Jol. Deepest apologies about your cringefail boyfriend buddy

-Mara/Sjur (romantic): OUGHGHGHHGHGHHHHHHHH BOI I CRY

8. If possible would you let your guardians have kids?

-Lmfao, no. I'm a big fan of the Traveler's decision to spay/neuter everyone it rezzes, and I'm fine with sticking with that. Marcie is the only one who's eligible for childcare anyways, an the Bloodborne universe, Marcie DOES end up with a wife and an adopted kid or two after she kills Aeris, who became the next god of the nightmare, but in D2 she remains childless, outside of acting as a House Light minder in her free time. Aeris is perpetually older brother coded and very content with that role, Viper-4's kids are a whole fuckload of critically endangered venomous snakes, Petrichor-12 feels like they don't deserve to have children of their own, and Ashe should never be allowed near a child because she's going to either give that little fucker a beer, a gun, or both

what if i removed my pan label and instead just identified as gay 🤯

[pudenjoyer]

Hey @ non-binary people that are publicly out: what is the safest way to come out at school? Is there a way to tell what teachers could be transphobic? Are there steps I need to take before I do it?

[ratanslily]

[hadestigers]

god cishets r the WORST

[candychronicles]

Can I request a headcanon or image of Tamaki getting jealous. Personally I see him as a sub, but I love jealous subs. Soooo

Tamaki is a switch and i’ll take that to my grave

he would get passively jealous quite often, but it takes awhile for him to react

if it’s longer in the relationship, he’s a bit possessive, not that you can’t take care of yourself, but your his mf cinnamon apple, so he’s gotta make sure you stay good

if it’s just someone talking to you and complimenting you, he doesn’t get mad

i mean, who wouldn’t call you beautiful?? you just are

but if they get handsy, hooo boy 

he’s not a confrontational person by any means

though he’s strong in physicality, he doesn’t have the most outgoing personality

but when it comes to you and your potential safety? it’s game on

he’ll try to get you away from the situation first, saying something came up and putting his hand gently but possessively on your lower back

if the guy/gal/nb person doesn’t understand and gets pushy, he will stand up for you

it may not be confident sounding, but Tamaki can and will back his words if he needs to

thankfully, it never really comes to that, but just know someone is going to get bitch slapped with a tentacle if they lay a hand on you in a suggestive manner

at home, he really isn’t much different, especially if a confrontational situation was able to be avoided 

but if the person said something that was offensive towards you or especially your relationship, you’ll need to stroke his ego a bit

queue switch Tamaki, who just wants to hear you tell him how good of a boy he is and also how nobody can make you feel as good as he is right now

boyy it sure is nice to only get dysphoria or w/e over the only parts of my body that i can never ever really change :^)

THybrid’s Mummy Rant(pt 1)

ALRIGHT!

Sooo…

I kind of said I would be organizing a big giant analysis and rant on this character-- Because I have many, many feelings. Buuut I think this is probably going to be something that just ends up diving into a lot more for the context I do have. Both in terms of the movie, and the research I've been rolling around in--

So-- before I put this under a cut/readmore, can I put some context into this?! And by context--

I mean in general I would not be here if Mummy hadn't been the one Netflix had for the Movie's preview. Mummy is why I'm here, just because whoop. That's a character design that CALLS ME! So yeahh-- that out of the way…

First Impressions:

Sooo… in the first movie Mummy is… only in the last third, roughly of the movie. Which is a crying shame in all honesty because for me he steals the show from that point. AND we get to see SO MANY Sides. Like, just… there's a bit to unpack here, and it also leads into more of my Autism squee talk--

But I don't think I could even really articulate everything in a straight cohesive manner so I'll sort of sum it with the most important screencaps.

Soooo, I have a lot to say… and a picture says a thousand words… but especially here and okay, so those screencaps are… not exactly all the story, but they say a lot for what they say. And then you can compound that specifically with the research that I have… again, been just rolling in. Because GIMME!

Sooo anyway, let me talk about these screencaps while my brain is turned on. Because I feel that all of these are important! Including that first glimpse! Because like-- what you need to understand is-- Do you know how hard catching something like that is?! And how did he notice it. Which like, that's probably a sensitivity thing, but specifically! That would whistle on the way down!

Then!

LET ME TALK ABOUT MASKING!

Like just-- all these next pictures and moments! They bring up Masking. Because look at him when he's first approaching, first seen in full. He's threatening, intimidating(up until Tadeo spots him and it's just scream for them both) BUT THEN IN PRIVATE! Clapping, flapping, and well, we can watch Movie 2 with a very specific lense based on a piece of WoG I found…

But even those next few screencap moments--

Like, Mummy is important, BUT there are rules of how you're supposed to present yourself. Like look at him! Look at him in front of the guards! How Paititi is revealed and even the lead up, like, he has a good shift from the slight goofball to commanding and then to intimidating and just…

Snap fingers and the guards respond(which then with movie two… boyyyyy I want to know what happened). And as much as we think that hug is intense…

And then look at the shy nervous child. WHICH I'm going to bring in a moment or two from the Series, Descubre con Tadeo(which is a fun watch even if I only get like, maybe a fifth of the content).

He's insecure and nervous… and we related it to being like… first day of school jitters. BUT THEN he-- also has a perfect shift here as well.

Put on your professional voice! And like, I suppose some things could be argued in terms of Mummy's antics in the second film. But I just… have too much more to say that the whole movie kind of feels like.

"FIRST TIME I AM FREE!" in terms of how Mummy is running around and just having fun! You ever just want to cut loose mate?! Scream, or go wild… but like… with the second movie I have other places to just go, WAIT?! What happened?! And also just analyze moments that are… well…

But like, number one is a background moment actually(and I hope so muuuuch that it means something in movie three please)

LOOK AT TADEO'S CONSPIRACY BOARD!

Like I'm just here like, Mummy?! What did you do?! On his trip over, which for all is kind of implied/feels like a B-Line, and I have… other thoughts and feelings on that. But like, the conspiracy board! Mummy! Also considering that the English Localization has Tadeo in Chicago(and I want to know if that's true for everywhere--) As an aside in this moment, can we just appreciate the jump of quality in the animation between the movies?! Like ahhhh the details! I just hng-- And some things in the whole animated series as well…

Edutainment.

WHICH features BOTH Mummy and Tadeo just special interest dumping. And it's A++

He also hums the theme song in his take over episode, and dances and is just ahahahahah

Which, this is one of the two Mummy just-- yanks the show for himself moments… The other has him playing with everyone else as dolls and I just--

Yes

Gender

Which look, I've been going off some level of fluidity for him! Since I watched the second movie and he just-- STOLE THE SHOW! And the credits sequence, I have… a lot to say about his around the world trip but most of that ultimately amounts to disorganized screaming about the fact that he starts the travel with only one dangling earring and ends it with two to speak to the guards--

And that then goes into--

ANYWAY--

Genderwise, I've been informed that there's a WoG confirmation of nb, which… Good Representation! Even if I have personal… bad, yucky, awkward feelings about the term, if that's the confirmed canon term. Well. My personal dysphoria with the term specific aside.(Non non, it always feels like--) NO WONDER I HELLA RELATE!

For those not caught up-- I myself identify as Agender. Which is a nb-spectrum gender, or as I refer to it as when trying to explain. "Gender, yes". I have a gender, and that gender is yes it's something and exists. But like, I'm not tied to the binary of Male-Female, not really. Sooooo--

If Mummy is confirmed nb, which, I will be source hunting for sure.

Well, his relatability to me just skyrocketed EVEN MORE!

Like I'm sorry, you don't understand! That's super important on MANY levels. Not just for the rare gender to be highlighted. BUT!

Mummy is very Autistic Coded. More on the female stereotyped Autism as well-- and then FOR THE BIG THING! He's Inca!

Like, do you people even have a scale for the important points that he's hitting here?! (And if we add apparently spoken about Asexuality?! Excuse me!)

Like I don't know how much I could say on how important this is representation and character wise…

Sooo

Moving on.

Inca

Sooooo… this is probably something dumb to tack onto the end but. I'll be the first to admit it. I'm… coming from a culturally blind/naïve perspective but-- it's something intrinsic and important to understanding Mummy as character. He's from a cultural background I honestly don't yet know enough about. (Can I ever know enough though?!)

He's an Inca. And more than that-- WoG seems to have implied, he's Royalty, whiiiiich puts into perspective some of those screencap moments and brings about a host of interesting research topics for me to just gleefully dive into and roll around in.

BUT

With that contextual framing.

This dork, and this moment-- and thinking about how he's got the pull in the first movie to boss the guards around. Just like-- Make decisions and call the shots… and more to me…

Who put the cufflink there?! SPECIFICALLY?!

Because like, all he said was "keep it safe"

I also really, really want to know if there's some cultural significance and nuance I'm missing here, because hooo boy. As far as I have, this is basically just subtle nods and confirmations that he's royal, possibly even the recognized Auqui of their set up here(which as of movie two, possibly no longer the case).

I also have a lot to say about THIS:

In terms of the half a dozen or so resources that have STUFF to say about Handshakes to the Inca(albeit there is more than just a handshake buuuut). But this is already 11 pages in word and honestly, I don't think I could explain things in a nice and tidy context for all my FEELINGS that I have.

My son asks me many times if Mummy is a boy or a girl and it's all at once. It's absolutely ambiguous and that also makes it a lot of fun.

“For us he is asexual and we really like playing with it.”

Conclusion:

WATCH THESE MOVIES PLEASE!

And get the culture being represented by one of the characters RIGHT!

[beneath-our-masks]

Title: Beneath Our Masks

Authors: Ten (they/them) and Concerned/Cas (he/him)

Genre: Scifi/fantasy? Superhero stuff. That’s a genre.

Plot: These are just bite-sized stories about a team of ten teenage superheroes and who they are in and out of their hero personas. Think of them as like. Comic-sized installments (except, Ten and Concerned can’t draw well enough to make them into comics so here they live). Some of it is superhero missions. Some of it is feely angst. Some of it is just Teenagers Being Teenagers Except They Have Superpowers. These characters were made based on the Masks roleplaying system by Magpie Games, so please give them some love! Hence why this is never gonna be published lol.

Trigger Warnings: Trigger warnings will be tagged on each post and said in bold before all of them since we have a GIANT spectrum, but off the top of my head, here are some common ones: PTSD, anxiety, depression, abuse, death of family member, violence, homo/bi/a/phobia, etc. There will be no explicit sexual content, as most of these characters are minors and Ten is too ace to write smut for the few that aren’t; however, all implied sexual content/romance will be trigger tagged.

Characters: Hooo boy there are a lot! So here is the tl;dr about each of them (with a link to all stories about them hopefully):

Ten’s Characters (Click names to browse their tag):

Aeicekh/Ace, a pink alien with telekinesis and pheromone powers. They’re learning how to control their powers as they navigate this strange planet that they’ve been thrust onto, and learning that earth is not as terrible as it seemed at first.

Siham, a 14-year-old nb Muslim who has no powers but has decided they will kick ass anyway. Who needs gender or powers when you have two (2) swords and a positive attitude?

Haeun, a 16-year-old astrophysicist’s daughter who somehow got astral powers. She can create stars, black holes, and most stellar phenomena. “Can create,” however, does not mean “Can control.” Disaster lesbian.

Dakota, a 16-year-old boy whose powers are the product of a horrific experiment, He has super-strength that is enhanced by rage. One of the calmest, softest bois you will ever meet.

Bayleigh, a 17-year-old lone wolf who relies on no one but herself (or so she likes to think). She has the power to copy the power of others, as well as insane martial arts skills. Biphobes will eat her fist. Second-in-command of the crew.

Imani/ Agent Jefferson, a licensed counselor who helps lead the team. Sees all these kids with Traumatic Backstories and decides that they need a therapist and she will be it. Loves her girlfriend and her little superhero family.

Concerned’s Characters (Click names to browse their tag):

Kira, a 14-year-old girl who was transformed into a plant-human hybrid. She also has some degree of technomancy. A gentle bean with a little selective mutism and a lot of gentle love.

Skyler, a 15-year-old who’s balancing work, school, and a superhero life. Can control rodents/insects and transform their body into any material they touch. Friend to vermin and enemy of defined gender.

advice?

so, i’m coming to terms with gender and sexuality and could use some pointers, maybe

gender: for the most part, i feel a complete disconnect to gender and feel neutral. i present myself largerly through neutral or “masculine” clothes (goth and punk stuff mostly). now and then, i feel a slight connection to masculinity but i don’t think i’d call myself a man (even though i have done in the past) there are fluctuations between feeling neutral and masculine, some days i feel more boyish than others but largely i feel genderless

sexuality: hooo boy this is where stuff gets weird. in FICTIONAL scenarios, everyone has the potential to be hot. men? yes. women? yes. nb people? Yes. aliens/monsters. YES. irl?? i’m occasionally attracted to irl men and a lot of the irl men i’m attracted to are celebrities, but there are still plenty of irl men who are “attainable” that i could see myself with. lots of irl women are fucking gorgeous. lots of irl nb people are attractive

yet at the same time, i don’t really have all that much sexual attraction. all of my sexual fantasies are with fictional characters. i COULD have sex with someone irl but it’s never something i actively fantasize about.

i recently id’d as lesbian, thinking my attraction to men was comp het but i no longer believe this is the case, my attraction is genuine. men are hot. lmao

idk, anyone got any advice?

4. do you have any preferences?not really ?

5. share a positive memory about coming out!hooo boi my coming out experience was a mess tbh,, i came out as bi and nonbinary on august 2015 but my family practically ignored me and shoved me back into the closet ? idk i talk abt it a little w my sister and my mom is aware i’m not cishet but she’s convinced i’m just confused :/i came out when i was still going through a huge Identity Crisis™ so i felt super uncomfortable using he pronouns irl (bc there are no gender neutral pronouns in spanish so it’s either she or he) and i never corrected my family when they kept using she pronouns/referring to me as a girl/using my birth name so :///but tbh the only good thing that coming out brought is that i could start buying “"men’s”“ clothes and a binder (this is so long sorry omg)

[britshits]

do you think cis muns can play trans/nb chars? i know this opinion varies but i remember coming across a post that said cis muns shouldn't and now i see a lot of that happening

boy, oh boy… this question …………………….. is like 110% up for debate ?? hell, im not 100% on where i personally stand bc there are legit SO MANY FACTORS ??? pls don’t read this thinking it’s gospel bc it’s truly not and ik this gon turn into some long ass semi-rant, so scroll for a tl;dr, but … [ cracks knuckles ] let’s gO !

i’ll be 100% real n say that i am always, always going to be uber picky when i come across cis muns playing trans/nb muses. i instinctively raise my hackles and put everything they do under the microscope, mainly bc they ( obviously ) don’t have first-hand experience of the pressures / prejudices / issues / feelings etc. that are exclusive to our community, so they have a tendency to fall into all the harmful tropes when it comes to trans characters—and, without that innate understanding of our struggles, they don’t see how these things can be damaging. there’s also the whole issue of the media perpetuating this bs, so really, while research can do wonders, it’s never gonna be a catch-all solution.

that’s not to say i don’t think that cis people can write solid, unproblematic trans characters. i have most definitely met people who are cis who’ve played wonderful trans and/or non binary charries, whom i adored and would educate themselves and readily listen to any tips that i or other trans people gave them. i actually haven’t met a cis person who has played a non binary muse in a way i have an issue with so far. ik that there’s a general issue in the rpc with people changing their charrie from cis to nb to fill a ratio, which is a Mess and a Half, and ofc the assumption that the character’s assigned sex at birth matches that of the face claim. but, other than that nasty business, the majority of cis ppl playing nb charries are #tight and willing to learn, at least as far as i’ve experienced.

when it comes to binary trans muses tho … lmfa o ….. where do i even begin ?? like idk what it is about cis ppl but a lot of them are just absolutely OBSESSED with what’s goin on in a trans person’s pants ?? i mentioned this in another ask, but bruh… if i had a pound for every time some1 has fuckcin offhandedly brought up / alluded to my charrie’s downstairs configuration when we’re plotting, i’d have enough money to buy this blue hellsite and shut it tf down like i goddamn want to, but anyway !! the reason i bring this up is bc i see so many ppl who have this approach with their own characters—i.e. fetishising them. i mean if ur trans, u do u man, sexualising ur charrie is ur prerogative ?? but fuc k n cis ppl doing this…………………….. mmm hooo my go dd … do u realise how disgusting and nasty this shit is ??????? i mean trans ppl have enough shit w/ ppl sexualising us irl ( esp. trans women !! they literally have it so fuckn rough w/ tht i cant even begin 2 describe ) so like, leave it out of rp thx ???

but nope !!! y’all can’t do that !!!!!!!! (((((((((: tbh in the rpc, most of the bs seems to affect trans male muses, as far as i’ve seen. i think it’s partly bc trans female muses are so few and far between, which is an issue in and of itself, but also bc a lot of the rpc is so fuckin guilty of the nasty obsession with m/m ships. it’s usually cishet girls who pull this shit and they pull it w/ all males tbh, like they legit use gay guys as a fuckn object like “OMG !!!! GAYSZ !!! SO CUT E I LOVE THEM !!! COME SHIP W/ ME I LOVE GAY BOYZ !!! :’)” lmfaooo miss me w/ this shit !!! u wanna chat about lesbians being fetishised by cishet men and yet u only give a fuck about mlm when they’re being a cutesy lil otps or banging it out so u can flick ur bean hmm ?? i see u. but yeah, it’s not exclusively cishet girls who do this shit… like, cis ppl in general are pretty shit at playing trans males, specifically. like you’re lucky to find a single starter that isn’t tagged as “indie smut rp” or “indie gay rp” or if their threads aren’t laced with sexualised scenarios or worse… the dreaded C-Word. like bruh if ur not a trans male u literally have no business using that word regarding ur muse. ever.

tbh 99% of the time they don’t even realise just how gross they’re being, bc, as i mentioned before, they don’t have any concept of what it’s like to be trans and how gross and intrusive ppl can be towards us. they think that it’s just the same as writing any character and that they can sexualise them if they want to, without realising that .. it’s very different when you’re outside that community. you’re not exploring an aspect of your identity, so much as reducing someone else’s to a very, very small sector of theirs and then using it for entertainment.

tl;dr: it’s literally a clusterfuck of nope tbh and, on a personal lvl, i’m almost at the point of thinking it would be better if cis ppl don’t play trans charries, bc the bad far outweighs the good in terms of how harmful it can be. that said, i do not think that telling cis ppl not to play trans characters is the right thing to do, bc of the following:

the people who do the disgusting things i’ve mentioned above or anything else that’s nasty don’t listen to us anyway, so it’s not gonna solve that problem.

it reinforces the “write what you know” mantra, which i think we can all agree is so old n outdated in 2k17.

sometimes writing characters is how people manage to learn new things about themselves. i’ve actually met people who, through their character research, have realised that they identify as non binary or trans. having an outlet for feelings they may be having really helps some ppl along.

lastly, and what i personally believe to be the crux of this issue, is that by trying to police something like this you are essentially forcing disclosure of ooc gender. not everyone is comfortable or ready to say they are trans or they may not be sure about their gender identity at all, so forcing them to make it known for the sake of playing a character is not okay. and, ofc, we have the obvious addition that ppl lie, so you’re relying on good faith to carry it out.

so yeah, that’s my v. long-winded two cents on the matter. i have a feeling i’ve missed some details, but it’s 3am and i need to be up by like 9:30 so that’s all for now !! feel free to drop me another question if i’ve fuckt anything up or u would like clarification on anything !
