#nonbinary Van hcs

[yellowjacketslesbian]

hi jo! i saw someone shit on the idea of van as a nonbinary butch today and as one myself it made me upset. I love your fics and how you write van so I was wondering if you had any headcanons about van being gnc / nonbinary?

hey! first off, I'm really sorry you saw someone reacting negatively to the idea of nonbinary butch Van. I know it can be really frustrating and upsetting to see someone getting offended at the idea of a fictional character possibly having a similar identity as you. it's like "what's wrong with my identity that makes you deny this character I love and relate to could also be a nonbinary butch lesbian?" (spoiler alert: nothing is wrong with being a nonbinary butch lesbian, some people are just very loud and very wrong)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! it truly means a lot to know that people like what I write. I'm especially glad that the fics I've written dealing with Van's gender have been well received, and that people could feel seen by them!

I could write multiple essays on Van's gender and why I personally believe they're nonbinary (and why they're already canonically butch), but I'll confine this to just my top nonbinary Van hcs lol

if they had lost states and never gotten on the plane, Van would've gotten a scholarship to NYU and double majored in film and women's & gender studies. They would've become aware of Gender Trouble and Stone Butch Blues through their major, and they also would've met more gnc people in NYC. This would've led to their realization that there are other people like them who share similar experiences. I personally think it would've taken them a year or two to talk to Taissa about it because they didn't want to "burden her with it" (typical Van), but Tai would've been really accepting and went out of her way to read about gender identity and try really hard to understand Van's experiences once they told her. I don't think Van would've been out as nonbinary to anyone besides Tai and close friends until like the early 00s though.

in "canon" where the crash happens, I think it would've taken Van a lot longer to realize they even could be nonbinary. like they had so much trauma to work through, and just surviving was probably a struggle for them. I can really see them spending at least a decade just ignoring any dysphoria they had. they probably also didn't have the same exposure to information about being nonbinary back in the late 90s / early 00s, especially if they weren't living in a very queer area or around academia. I think one of the queer college kids who helped out around their store eventually came out to them as nonbinary in the late 00s. then Van researched being nonbinary so they could be there for them, and that's how Van finally realized they're actually nonbinary.

I think Van would've spent some time exploring what pronouns felt right for them after realizing they're nonbinary, but they would eventually use they/them or they/she by the present day.

I think Van had top surgery in the late 00s in the no crash universe and in the mid-2010s in the "canon" universe

I think that Van's dysphoria is mostly social dysphoria, but I do think they have top dysphoria. I personally read Van's boob jokes in S1 as using humor to deflect from some dysphoria they may have been experiencing at the time. (as a nonbinary lesbian, it reminded me a lot of how I personally dealt with my own dysphoria when I was about Van's age and hadn't yet realized it was dysphoria)

Lastly

important note: all of this is purely my own hcs and opinions, and I am not claiming to know what they will or won't explore canonically on the show. that being said, I am a nonbinary butch lesbian and personally see a lot of myself and my own experiences in Van, and many other nonbinary lesbians also see themselves in Van. we all have every right to hc Van as nonbinary. if you don't like it, you can politely fuck off

[sapphire-heart-tippy]

Do you personally hc any canon jjba characters as transmasc? 💜💙

The only consistent one I can think of is Okuyasu!! ✨ Plus I have this idea where Yukako is genderfluid and uses she/he/they interchangeably. Sometimes she's a girl, sometimes he's a boy, and most of the time they're nonbinary (to me at least!!)

I have a few friends who headcanon Jotaro as trans masc, and I also like that idea 💪 and I have a friend who headcanons Josuke as trans fem so that makes Oku and Josu t4t hehehe 🏳️‍⚧️

Also, I do have an au where Vanilla is a trans man, all because I had a dream about his backstory! Everything is pretty much the same, only Vanilla is now a trans man who packs with a sock filled with coins hehehe

So in that au, Vanilla, Bel, and I are all trans masc!

Me and Bel comforting Vanilla while he's on his period (I have an IUD, and Bel is on birth control pills, Vans is just a little scared of the doctor is all)

[team-headcanons-2]

General sniper hcs?

Ye ye lanky man headcanons 4 u!!

General Sniper Headcanons

His eyes are sensitive to light so he has a tendency to wear his shades almost constantly, indoors and outdoors.

He has a fondness for hairless cats

Sniper with long messy hair >>>>>>>>>

He has a room in the base but prefers sleeping and living in his van, he just keeps spare supplies in his bed room.

Bonus pride month Sexuality headcanon: he's nonbinary and he's biromantic ace!

[dykexenomorph]

i love your url, transfemme misty is genuinely how i read her character lol it’s not canon but it’s canon to me, it just feels real. girls who struggle fitting in with the other girls, who feel always one step behind, who make their own eccentric offputting brand of femininity etc. anyways do you have any trans yj headcanons <3 nonbinary van is also real to me

YESSS, trans misty and enby van are both SO real and true to me. ESPP enby van, im being so genuine when I say that I forget that's not canon sometimes. as for other trans yj hcs I don't know tht I have any?? I think it's fun to read nat as transmasc but that's more of a personal hc and not smth I ever see being brought up in canon (esp now 😭)

[simping-overload]

Heya! Can I request a hcs post on the reader being a nonbinary and intersex person and the Hawkins High School gang's or boys' reactions to learning this?

Especially since it was almost unheard of in the 1980s..

RAMBLES ∘ enjoy:) and my requests are closed!! Please don't send me any requests I need to work on the ones I have now :)

APPEARANCES ∘ eddie munson, steve harrington, jonathan byers

eddie

he heard of intersex & non-binary once or twice, but growing up in a small town with a bunch of Bible thumper it's practically unheard of

As a gay man himself, he accepts you fully no questions asked— well maybe some questions he's very curious

will totally defend you and get you out of uncomfortable situations

If you ever need to get out of a tough situation, his trailer or van can always be your safespace to turn to

steve

he's pretty supportive, granted he's still a bit confused but he got the spirit

as someone who is questioning his sexuality as well he'd go to you if he has any questions on anything since he thinks your the best- basically only person aside from Robin to turn too

won't let anyone give you shit for it, he will totally stand up for you

just like eddie, you will always have a safe place to go with him

jonathan

automatically supports you obviously, granted he has some questions but will support you till the day he dies

granted he might not be the most confrontational person but if somone ever gives you any type of shit he will totally stand up for you and deal with them

you're always welcomes into the byers home no matter what, you basically have a second family that is your safe space

in honor of pride month, ive decided to post all my main-character gender and orientation hcs for all aa games (except investigation-only characters). certain characters are missing from the list not because i don't like them or i only think they're cishet or something, but because i didn't know what to write, or i wasn't sure if they were a major enough character to include, or my memory is like swiss cheese and they somehow slipped through the cracks.

you may know me from twitter (VanistheOGlhb) where I can usually be found suffering from taivan brainrot, yelling into the void about how much I love Van Palmer, talking how much I love fictional butch lesbians, and going absolutely feral over any crumb of butch4butch in media. or, you may have read one of my taivan fics on ao3 (Van_Palmer_is_the_OG_lhb).

Any component hcs?

Yessss ofc!

- Krupp is the oldest of the components, and an ex-military truck. He still transports guns and ammo, but now it's to shooting ranges rather than military bases.

- Wrench is nonbinary, and uses she/they pronouns

- Volta and Zero are twins, and Joule's older siblings

- Purse doesn't tend to transport money anymore, as most money is transported by road vans now. He's essentially now a glorified boxcar, transporting fragile and valuable goods

- Joule is in a long-distance relationship with Ruhrgold

- Kilowatt was the last to join the group and initially didn't get on with Krupp, who thought he was being replaced. They eventually bonded and developed a mentor-apprentice relationship

- Wrench now works as the yard's repair truck, rather than just Electra's

- Joule used to be a circus stock car, but after the circus closed underwent a huge conversion into an explosives tanker. The whole thing was extremely dangerous due to how big of a change it was, but she survived and adapted well

- Krupp is dating both Purse and Wrench (with their knowledge and consent)

- Wrench's only fear is failing to save a patient

- Purse is very snobby and entitled, and used to getting his way. Electra was super excited to get a money truck and pampered Purse a lot, which only encouraged his self-centered behaviour. He still cares a lot about his loved ones though

- Kilowatt and Zero are dating

- Volta's hair fans are decorative, and she often wears different styles

So,,, Van Gogh x Reader, if that’s okay!! ,,I’m a simp for the art man 😔,,,,,,,,

I’m an INFP-T! Nonbinary, and I use they/them! Also a Biromantic Asexual, if that’s any important,,. Im,, 5’1”,,, 😔 small. I’m a Freshmen (9th), ominously. I do art, mainly just digital and sketching but I’m starting to get into paints and oil pastels,,! I do writing and photography, too,, :)! I also like walking around, just ominously wandering on streets or in the woods (even though I don’t get to do it often),, And stars!! I like star watching, though I don’t know a lot abt constellations, or stars themselves. They’re just really pretty,,. And the same thing goes for clouds!!

If I can, I’d like to request just,, cuddling hcs ????? Or hugs,, hug are cool,,. only if that’s okay though, ofc!! 👀,, I’d also be entirely content with just,, how a day vibing together (assuming no school?? Or with school, idm!) would go!!

also I bet u have rad shoelaces,, I hope u a lovely day you awesome individual ty ty 🕴

(Also apologies for this being lengthy,, :sweating:, I hope it isn’t an issue!!,,)

aw thanks anon! i haven’t been wearing shoes with laces much because it’s snowing so boots are my go-to at the moment, but i’m glad you think my shoelaces are cool <33

Van Gogh With a Non-Binary Artist Reader

Van Gogh looks over at his soon-to-be s/o’s iPad screen in art class one day and really likes their drawing style! He compliments them and they blush and they’re like, “Oh, can I see some of yours?” So Van Gogh shows them his own iPad and they see that he’s really good too!

Van Gogh is a little bit shy when they first start dating because honestly... he doesn’t really know how relationships work. But he sees that his s/o is pretty shy too, and he feels comfortable with someone with a similar personality to his. As he gets more familiar with the relationship, he kinda becomes more chivalrous and bolder with his affection (but never anything too bold, and never without his s/o’s consent).  

Most of their dates are at art museums, because Van Gogh likes looking at paintings and his s/o likes looking at photography! They discuss the art, as artists, and they feel really fancy and sophisticated. After they’ve been to all of the openings for the month, they start going to parks just to have picnics or walk around. One particular park has a pond, and Van Gogh likes to look at the ducks and sometimes even paint them. 

Van Gogh knows that his s/o likes to watch the stars, so one night he takes them out to a park and he brings a blanket for them to sit on!! It’s kind of chilly, so Van Gogh gives them his jacket and holds them close so they can stay warm together. It’s kind of hard to see the stars in the city because there’s a lot of light pollution, but it’s still fun to look at the stars anyway.

Van Gogh’s favourite thing about looking at the stars is telling his s/o about all of the constellations. He used to read books on them a lot as a kid because he thought the pictures were really pretty, and he liked to paint them sometimes. He shows them all of his favourite constellations, and he points to each one as he says the names. His s/o repeats them back to him, trying to get them just right. They usually don’t, but Van Gogh smiles anyway because it’s cute to see them try.

They don’t talk much, because they’d rather just sit and soak up each others’ presence. Every once in a while, Van Gogh will tell them something sweet like how much he loves them or that he likes the sound of their voice. He’s big on vocal affection. 

When it gets too cold in the wintertime, Van Gogh and his s/o just hang out at one of their houses and watch art films! They just like spending time together and being close to each other, no matter where they are or what they’re doing!

[badromancebullsquid]

sunny. sunny i NEED you to tell me yr tf2 hcs. /lh

Jhsdhf ok so. I have. A few headcanons that I RLLY like and these are it :0

- Scout is nonbinary but like? A little bit? His gender fluctuates a little bit, just day by day. Sometimes him and Pyro will hang out and Scout will just be like “oh hey you know purple? that’s the gender for right now. But it’s like, half dark blue, y’know?” and Pyro just nods along because they Get It

- Sniper is. A recluse. He just hangs out in his camper van a lot BUT like. (Ok most of these next hcs are ones i adapted from!! One of my fav writers like :0 ) Sometimes Scout brings people their mail (as a nice gesture :) ) and he’ll bring Sniper’s mail to him !! Sniper usually like. Pays him off in cool trinkets that he finds (just as a nice gesture but scout honestly appreciates getting trinkets as gifts like)

- Soldier has blocked out . Quite a bit of his past due to trauma. Also wearing his helmet over his eyes help him 1. feel safe and 2. avoids the sun shining directly in his eyes :0

- Spy SUCKS at chess. Like i know the dude is smart but you can’t tell me that he’s good at this. (Also on the topic of chess, Scout would be the one to eat the pieces in a chess match when his opponent isn’t looking). Heavy is the best of the group at chess though :0

- Scout can occasionally be found laying out in the desert at night. He has a jacket or blanket to lay on, he’s not an animal, but sometimes he’ll just... lay down and look up. He misses his family a lot.

Thank u for sendin in an ask!! :0

[tiredrobin-scooted]

arthur headcanons (w some general trio ones) evn tho nobody asked. it’s long. talk to me about them if u want. 

i just feel like rambling with a mild aim, so. claps hands together. lesgo

he has ocd

he hoards items as a result, and he doesn’t like people touching his things. throwing stuff away is hard. he has methods of managing it, tactics that help when he knows he needs to reduce clutter, but it’s still difficult.

one of his personal rituals involves the pins on his jacket. he checks them frequently throughout the day to make sure they haven’t fallen off. when he washes his jacket, he has to put the pins in the exact same spot (the holes there are worn open and visible, which makes it much easier). he has a specific pattern when he checks them too, & he jokes that its like those games where u have to hit the buttons in the same pattern that they light up in

violent intrusive thoughts central, babey! often coupled w graphic imagery. hes having a great time! love it

also like. anxiety and depression

sighs. and insomnia. he cant sleep! especially in unfamiliar environments. and he has to turn things “away” or else he feels watched (which i think is from his ocd)

SIGHS. and adhd, while we’re at it. infodumping hours are the best bc vivi and lewis are very good listeners even when they have no idea what hes talking about. (and vivi, although not inclined towards mechanics and robotics, is good at asking questions that help push the conversation forward. lewis has a tougher time but he makes up for it in attentiveness)

he doesnt medicate because finding meds that dont exacerbate other aspects is difficult. he had a therapist for a good while, though, after uncle lance took him in, so he has a lot of different methods of helping himself

and he has rly supportive, understanding friends who also have their own mental and physical issues so it’s like. they get it. Everyone Gets It.

hes a gamer...... 

he likes puzzle games a lot, but rpgs are usually what he plays

not that he plays them OFTEN because turns out he has 20 other projects to work on (haha what do i mean im projecting. dont talk to me.)

also trans??? hes dfab binary trans guy

he didn’t make, like, robo-prosthesis himself, those existed before his amputation, but when he was fitted with his own he either built the whole thing from scratch or he totally revamped the one he got

he has a shoulder port and actually, he’s decided, it SUCKS,

if he isn’t careful about the weather, the metal will freeze or heat up and i mean. you can imagine the consequences

rapid changes in weather and pressure causes pain

phantom limb pain in general is just here. and he

is tired

also hes bi, and poly, and

laughs

but yeah. i hc hes been on t for.... a while? but i have a side hc where he hasnt been on t purely because i get really shitty cramps and im projecting those onto him. u cant stop me. 

and now..... some (more) vivi, and also some lewis stuff, and actually just a buncha general stuff

lewis joins arthur in the depression club. they high five about it

vivi is also trans! shes hella nonbinary. still uses she/her, but like. .. .

shes nb. mayyyybe genderfluid btwn Woman and a smattering of nb identities. i havent made up my mind yet

all of them actually have adhd, ive decided just now. all three of them. its party town, its infodump hours, no one can stop them and no one can stop me,

lewis and arthur bond over puzzle games. they all play mystery games when the desire hits

vivi almost ALWAYS gets first in mario kart. shes just too good

arthur kicks butt at super smash bros tho and can usually win

lewis’s strong suit isnt really fighting-based games. he likes exploration and socializing. theres probably an mmorpg they all play together

vivi is the fighter, arthurs the spellcaster, and lewis is the combination alchemist/healer

theyve probably played dungeons and dragons. i can see them sitting in the back of the van on late nights out, trying to play but devolving into conversations about enemy logistics or game mechanics or like. something entirely unrelated

lewis deserves his own section to discuss this in greater detail but he came from a wealthy/royal background. i have evidence to back this up. i have no idea if other people have thought of this

hes VERY bi

lewis is the mom friend, except he runs himself into the ground caring about other people so much so that vivi and arthur actively have to work to get him to relax and take time for himself. its a lot of work! he just wants to make sure everyone else is taken care of, “which is lovely, lewis, really,” vivi assures. “but you really need to look out for yourself too, y’know,” arthur pipes up.

like you either gang up on him or it just isnt going to work. hes full of love and a desperate need to prove himself

wheezes. he and arthur bond over abandonment issues

ok if i dont stop i will actually never stop, so. folds hands. thanks for listening.

Here are my headcanons for lewis, Arthur, and Vivi, if you guys are interested in my headcanons, you tell me and i'll talk about them more 👌

TW: usage of the word queer, just in case people don't wanna see that word cause it makes them uncomfortable🏵️

Lewis is pan and on the nb spectrum, but doesn't really put label on his gender much (probably doesn't mind any prounouns)

He's also polyamour

Arthur is gay and trans (afab) (he uses he/him and they/them, but would be too Shy to correct you if you used she/her)

Vivi is queer and nonbinary (uses mostly they and she, but it makes her laugh a bit when people use he) and she's poly like lewis

Arthur is about 4/3 years on testosterone, and has had top surgery for about half a year in Ghost, he knew he was trans since he was ~15. it was extra hard for him to transition since his family was really anti-lgbt, when he came out his parents disowned him and they kicked him out to live with his uncle. lewis Always tried his best to help when he felt extra disphoric, and Always reminds him to take his binder off After 6 hours (before he gets ts). he has pretty Bad disphoria and anxiety around it, but he Always tries to find ways to help himself, trying different kind of packers, trying different kind of binders, trying on more masc clothes, ect.

He started to use the term gay when he was about 18/19, he thought "i have a girl body so if i like guys i'm STRAIGTH"

Then he did his reserch and found out transition=\= sexuality. he started to use the term bi, and pan for himself because he still felt like gay wasn't the right term, but then he thought about it for long and long and started just using gay to describe himself.

Lewis Always knew he liked both Girls and boys, but when he found the term pan, he knew it was the right one, he struggled a bit to find he was pan, thinking he was gay for a while before finding people that were bi, then finding people that were pan, he started using it since he was 18/19.

His gender is an other deal, he still somtime hates how masc he looks, but doesn't wanna look fem, somtime he Can rock dresses and feel good as Heck, and somtime he Can rock extra masc clothes, he doesn't really know what he is, as of right now he prefers helping Arthur with his transition rather than caring on somthing he doesn't Care much about.

His family is verry supportive and Always said "i don't Care who you Marry, but if you marry somone, WE do the cooking!" And they're verry sweet.

Vivi never really found a term she liked for herself she was like "i'm not a lesbian i can fall in love with guys, but i'm not bi because ect, ect." And when she found the term queer she was really happy, it was short, and simple, she just wants to love and live, and not Care about labels, so queer was perfect for her. She was still like "it's been over 8 years i'm questioning and it ends up this simple :')". She never talked about it with her family, because they were Always a little distant, but whenever they talk about mariage her parents Always Say "once you marry a Guy, or girl, we want to be the first one to meet him...or her" so she thinks they don't really mind anyway.

Her gender was kinda the same story, she just found the term and was like ò-ó, because she would have saved a lot of Time if she just looked in the right place, she feels disphoria really rarely but when she does it's pretty strong and stays for a while, once Arthur had to cut her hair in the van because she hated the way it made her look, she looks cute as Heck After tho so worth it, Arthur is Always behind her back with these kind of stuff he's more experienced than her and he doesn't want Vivi to get an experiance as Bad as his, she Actually uses a binder somtime, but she doesn't like the way it feels so it's still verry rare, she enjoy playing with clothing a lot, putting a ton of masc than a pop of femme, or the inverse, she doesn't Care about her Passing that much, she wanna feel comfy in her own skin and if people think she's a girl she's fine with it.

She support Arthur and Lewis a lot, and she Always goes to pride with them, and it's verry sweet.

I feel like she might be on the ace spectrum, but idk yet, we'll see 💙

Here are my hc, i shorten their story to not infodump, even if it's still long AF, i Hope you guys like my stupid headcanon, i've Always loved LGBT+ History and such, and as a bi trans Guy, i make a lot of character lgbt+ for fun and representation!🏳️‍🌈 It's important to me but i get that it Can make some people uninterested, since these are pretty niche headcanon.

sorry for my english,i'm french and i learned english Alone so i have a lot of trouble with writting it down!~🏵️

ok today is the day

transmasc ocelot ties into the ways that (imo) ocelot attempted to choose his own destiny in whatever little ways he could:

like he didn't have much of a choice with the philosophers and was pressed into secret spy service at a very young age but he Chose to wear the spurs and he chose to emulate the guys from old westerns, and i think that informed a big part of his gender. so in his late teens/early 20s even he was hypermasculine all the time, trying to be like lee van cleef, drew his brows on darker than they really were, probably attempted to bind unsafely (and then figured out that you can’t do that and readjusted his strategy), was packing with a rolled up sock, etc. just Wanted To Be A Man So Bad. i think he REALLY hated his body at that point and could not wait to get top surgery or SOMETHING and was overcompensating by exaggerating his mannerisms and speaking style.

but then snake eater happens and (well in my hc lol) ocelot lays eyes on snake who is this super hairy masculine cigar smoking trans guy who's just kind of..... blase about gender and doesn’t see it as a huge deal. it’s less about how he presents and more about how he owns it, like i think a lot about ocelot calling in his unit just to have them all make fun of snake and snake proceeds to take them all out and ocelot is like >:0!! practically foaming at the mouth bc snake is SO cool without even exerting any effort

(though tbh snake doesn’t even have to be transmasc for this all to happen. snake is p chill about gender i think so ocelot seeing a cis guy just being like yeah whatever nbd, masculinity is cool i guess and ocelot is like you can DO that??)

ocelot’s whole thing in mgs3 is that he tries SO hard to be cool (and i love him) but i think seeing snake just being himself and chilling made him relax a little, experiment a little more, find his own style. a pivotal moment in his gender journey if you will. so he 1. figured out that you can dress however and still be a dude 2. started growing his hair out and 3. continued to exaggerate his mannerisms but this time for funsies. he can be theatrical when he wants to be, he loves to gloat and monologue, he is having a ball up in this bitch

then at some point he got on t and was like OH okay. okayyy. and no longer really felt the need to get top surgery or anything. from then on out it was just gender euphoria all the time [post about googling how to become so nonbinary it kills people]

someday. i will talk about transmasc ocelot at length

Let’s Comparison

While there are eight brand new Sims-contestants under my belt since last time, only four of them have seen release, so I don’t feel like I can justify a new Let’s Statistic to further round off the year. However, I have made up a new spreadsheet for the contestants for BCs and MMBCs that I’VE run! So both in terms of by itself and of comparing the Sims I’ve made to those I’ve had made for me, I’d say this is worth a look.

Note: the longer ago a BC / MMBC took place, the less likely it is that I have necessary details about them; this applies to Ewart in particular, but is also likely to apply to Chambers and Kiss of Death due to their relative non-recency. Ergo, it is possible I am wrong about a certain percentage of these. If the creators of the Sims for those BCs I’m uncertain about have any clarifications on these points, please feel free to correct me!

So far, for my projects, I’ve received sixty contestants. Seven for the Ewart BC; twelve for the Chambers MMBC; fourteen for the Limerence MMBC; fourteen for Slaughter or Salvage; seven for my side of Mimikyu BC (including Hotaru Marowak); and six out of a possible eleven/twelve for UTAU MMBC. 

As things currently stand, I have made twenty-one more contestants than I have received, at eighty-one. 

Of these sixty, the Special Snowflake ratio is: twelve Special Snowflakes, twenty-six who nearly count, eleven who barely count, and eleven who do not count. 

Reef Seamount of Limerence is the only uncertainty in the last category, being potentially LGBTQ (due to entering for an NB DFAB person), but not confirmed as such to my knowledge. Besides him, four of the not-trans not-queer not-disabled Sims are a part of Ewart’s alumini; the rest are from Chambers. 

In terms of percentages and ratios, roughly 43.3% of my received contestants are in the Nearly sector, compared to 32.1% of my made contestants; compare the 20% to 35.8% in the Complete Snowflake sectors. The later into my Simblr development a BC took place, the more likely it is that a contestant will be a Snowflake. 

Eighteen of the fifty-nine use the male rig in-game, regardless of actual gender; forty-two use the female rig. I’ve heard it said in the past that there is a bias in the Simblr BC community towards submitting DFAC individuals for bachelors, bachelorets and bachelorettes alike, so I’m aware I’m nowhere near an outlier. It’s just interesting to actually see this principle in action.

Of the DMACs, ten are cis males; of the DFACs, twenty-one are cis females. This thirty-one cis Sims total accounts for 51.7% of my received contestants, or a 48.33% trans percentage. My sent/prepared contestants currently have a 66.7% trans percentage. 

The first non-cis Sim I was ever given for MM/BC purposes was Charlie Fuentes of Chambers, breaking an eighteen-cis-Sim streak. Out of the remaining forty, I’ve only gotten thirteen cis Sims since then. Keep it up, community!

Incidentally, the first nonbinary Sim I received was Lidon Butler of Limerence. 

There are two explicit uncertainties as to whether a Sim is cis or not: Emily Trophy of SoS, who is tentatively female until told otherwise, and Hotaru, who I HC is exploring this aspect.

I didn’t get into the practice of asking for the sexualities of my contestants until Limerence MMBC. Even then: I don’t recall many from that project, let alone from the two that came before it; since Vidcund doesn’t do trait establishment posts, it didn’t make sense for me to do this with Mimikyu and thus misalign our systems; and I haven’t had the chance to do so for UTAU contestants yet (though some have been given voluntarily). So the most common sexuality in my table is “[bacheloret], not otherwise specified”. ^^; 

The only Sim thus far to have joined the LGBTQ community they were not previously a part of post-project is Emily Gnubb of Chambers; having entered as a cis female for a cis male, she later started dating Alex Cian, a trans woman, in Valhalla.

Taking sexuality, gender, and the gender of the bacheloret the contestant went in for into account, forty-eight of the sixty Sims are explicitly confirmed to be LGTBQ; again, Reef is presumed to be due to Amelia’s identity. (By logical extension, no contestant for any project from Limerence on upwards is cishet! Yay!) 

Counting him, that makes for 81.7% - only about 9% lower than the maximum 90.1% among my own creations... On the other hand, though, their lowest of 80% is higher than my lowest of 71.6%. So make of that what you will. 

I have never killed a Sim specifically for being on the spectrum. Nor am I ever going to let that go, Internet.

Nineteen of the sixty contestants I’ve gotten are explicitly disabled - fourteen of which are tied to SoS. The four that are not tied to SoS are: Lidon, possessing BPD and possible dyscalculia; Hotaru, who has PTSD stemming from the death of her parents; Echo Birch of UTAU, whose loss or impairment of magical power is considered a disability in fairy circles within the context of my canon; and Puck Keaton of UTAU, who demonstrates suicidal and self-destructive tendencies due to chronic derealization, whether factual or psychosomatic.

There are a few more that may or may not be coded to be disabled, but for a vast majority of those (Fabala Thropp, Alexis Grovesnor, arguably Laurel Forest, etc.) I have no way of chasing up if the implications were meant to lead to results. So only three have gotten through to the Hidden category on the grounds of their being the most explicit through various means - Rose Quartz Ostkaka of Limerence through extended interaction, Harukaze Mukku of UTAU through knowledge of her backstory, and Poppy Afton of UTAU through knowing how its creator works. 

Technically Dottie Cleveland Creighton of UTAU straddles this, since it’s hard for anyone to tell what is disability and what is personality, but it crosses the line to ‘Mental’ because I’ve had this confirmed by Vid directly.

I would also like to note that, technically, all of the dead MMBC victims I’ve killed over the years ought to possess PTSD from their experiences. However, since it’s always been unclear as to whether that has actually manifested as a genuine thing - Post-Dying Stress Disorder, perhaps? - I choose to calculate disability ratios irrespective of that. 

Ergo, we have a total of 36.7% disabled Received, compared to a 61.7% disabled Given (keeping in mind I don’t know the mental faculties of Avdotya, Osano, or strictly even Doireann yet - I have Doireann under “Amnesia of varying degrees”, but it’s hard to say for sure given Doireann is so - well - cryptic). If I have the opportunity to do so in the future, I would like to significantly raise this ratio, though I have no idea how to do so without making a disability be an absolute requirement... we’ll see.

There are fifteen CAS-intended supernaturals out of sixty: five witches, three fairies, two Genies, two vampires, a ghost who died prior to production, a werewolf, and an imaginary friend. Three of those occults overlap with the Death-induced Ghost category (two witches and a fairy), which consists of twenty-three more individuals besides that - discounting Laurel, as even though ze is dead, ze is not yet a ghost. 

Much like Midnight, Xyq and SLIP, I count Marlene Ramano of Ewart as a Story Supernatural. Although not programmed with any particular status, I attempted to write her as having a great psychic potential hitherto unseen in any mortal Sim... though since she was voted off after the first challenge, I never had a chance to take this anywhere. Oh well.

As stated above, Echo is also a Story Supernatural, though this time it’s through word of creator rather than word of me. 

If we include Death-induced ghosts, the Sims you’ve all made have a much higher occult percentage than mine! 66.7% of those received compared to 38.3% of those sent out. But taking out Sims who became ghosts after the fact, the difference is still there but not nearly as great, becoming 28.3% to 24.7%.

I’ve received twenty-four Vanilla sims, five van/ban cusps (Ellis Sterling of Ewart, June Dandelion of Chambers due to dyed hair, Harukichi Ariados of Mimikyu, Echo, and Puck due to yellow eyes), ten Banilla, one ban/berry cusp (Gregory Chiltington of Chambers - for some reason my .sim file of him has him with a vanilla skin tone?), and nineteen Berry. This is almost proportionally identical to my own Vanilla-Banilla-Berry ratio.

I’ve gotten more Sims beginning with C than I’ve dished out: your ten to my nine! But I’ve sent out more S’s and A’s than you, having only gotten three of each and sent eleven and ten respectively. I haven’t gotten any Bs, Is, Qs, Us, or Xs onwards; then again, I still haven’t prepared any Gs, so Ginerva Ebonywood of SoS and Gregory have that going for them. I only have one D, O, V and W.

Also, we now have more MMBC ‘Poppy’s than anyone else except Katherines - Afton, Blaze, Citrus, and Reaves. What is it with the name Poppy that makes someone ripe for death?

Warning: I no longer possess the .sim file for Marlene, and I have no way of getting it back. Ergo, for the Trait section of this analysis, I am working with one Sim less than I should. Also, two of the new Sims, The Distortionist and Avdotya, don’t have set traits yet, plus Seth is still one short. This shouldn’t skew my numbers too much, but again, if there’s errors, I apologize.

With that said, of the ninety-seven in-game traits that I consistently allow people to use (discounting Unconventional and Panicky), you guys have successfully used eighty-eight of them. 

You’ve used twenty-five traits once, eleven twice, sixteen thrice, thirteen four times, eleven five times, one six times, six seven times, three eight times, one ten times, and one - you ready? - eleven times!! Jesus H Christ.

The eleven-use trait is Brave of all things; used five times in Chambers, three times in Limerence, once in SoS and twice in Mimikyu. In comparison, I’ve only used it three times, for Fatin, Percy, and Blackcurrant. 

The next most-used traits are Hopeless Romantic at ten (eight for me), and Friendly, Flirty and Hot-Headed at eight (seven, seven and eight for me respectively). Your seven-time users are Ambitious (three), Athletic (four), Brooding (six), Excitable (four), Night Owl (four), and Rebellious (five).

However, this principle also works in reverse. I’ve used Coward eight times, where you’ve only used it thrice for Reef, Lavandar Ink of SoS and Harukaze; and you’ve only used Snob once to my also-eight, for Lidon. (Yes, I’ve used four traits eight times. One more and I’ll have a Sim in and of itself XD) Also, do you know that until today with Aina, I’ve NEVER received a Proper Sim before?! ...I haven’t received a Mooch or Workaholic or Savvy Sculptor either, to be fair, but Proper especially stood out to me with its until-now-lack-of-use because it was my most used trait for a while.

The single-use traits Hydrophobic, Social Butterfly, Technophobe, and all three uses of Supernatural Fan are exclusive to the six known Ewart contestants. Great Kisser, Sailor, Slob, Supernatural Skeptic, and both uses of Angler, Evil, and Unflirty are confined to Chambers. Avant Garde, Disciplined, Dislikes Children, Gatherer, Lucky, and Snob are exclusive to Limerence; Born Seller, Bot Fan, Couch Potato, Loser, Photographer’s Eye, Unlucky, and Vehicle Enthusiast are exclusive to SoS. Only Dog Person is confined to my side of Mimikyu, and so far, Diva, Inappropriate, Natural Born Performer, and of course Proper are confined to UTAU.

I will try to be better.
