#revali is a typical cis man and copes by working out

[avenin7]

Mod!Au question (for when you're feeling like talking about it - no pressure/rush).

If Revali likes dressing up and is confident like wearing all pink to a movie and looking like a fashion icon - has he ever gotten attacked/picked on/beaten up by homophobic/transphobic/sexist/or just asshole jerks for it?

If he did meet that situation - would he be able to defend himself? Would one of his friends come to his aid? Would he never mention it to anyone ever because he's embaressed about it, or would he nonstop tell the story of these dicks over and over to anyone who would listen? Does he run away or get into a punch up?

I keep picturing Zelda rushing in to tell Link that Revali is in trouble and Link SPRINTING outside already with a bat in hand about to beat up whoever he has to - only to find Revali surrounded by like seven unconscious bodies looking super pissed off because he chipped a sparkly nail and got blood on his pretty skirt.

You are so absolutely right. Revali does get in a fist fight and then get mad that he chipped a nail xD

He most definitely has experienced bullying as a gay guy who likes to dress feminine/do drag. He’s always had a loud personality (and a bit of an ego like, well you know 👀). When he was younger I feel like he would have just stood by and taken it; but now that he’s older and a bit of a gym buff he absolutely would throw hands. He’s absolutely gotten in fights for his friends before. As has his friends stood up for him too. The transphobia he didn’t really experience until him and Link started openly dating because he’s never “passed” for a woman and never really tried to whenever he dresses up. So the first few instances of in-the-wild transphobia he experiences he just kinda stands there stunned cause he’s like “this actually happens?? wtf???” (and then feels immensely guilty he didn’t stand up for Link). So after that he just gets in peoples faces about it. (unfortunately because he’s short a lot of people don’t take him seriously until he can back it up or until one of his taller friends steps in and it makes him mad. he tries to compensate by being loud and flowery with his language, at least make them feel stupid) he’s also jacked as shit

but no for real that last paragraph situation has 100% happened xD
