#talking abt looking for ppl that are dependable

[doremiduck]

lol wut. complaining

[svturn-exe]

it's interesting how like. during the vol 333 phone call, thatcher's picture is one where he's trying to block the camera and looks generally disgruntled while ruth's is her employee of the month photo where she's grinning all big and proud n shit

there's probably something there that i have no idea how to articulate but it's interesting and says something abt their characters probably 👍

[floorpancakes]

one of my favourite things that fics do is even when there's not like vers things HAPPENING in that specific fic they make a brief nod to like a couple times the characters fucked the other way round just so you know the author sees them as switch. it makes me feel warm and catered to as someone who believes in switch all the time for every ship ever

[linogram]

after watching a bunch of covers of chk chk booms last chorus + dance break, im noticing that its so easy for it to just feel... flat to me (for lack of a better word), like the dancing is super great, it just doesnt feel 100% right to me

[astralmarionette]

later km gonna type up and post some excerpts from my therapy journal i had to keep up with this week bc i think theyre rlly interesting. the most interesting by far, if you care to get to know me that is, is the last lil bit I wrote about Scott and I's names. Obviously idk how he felt but I gave my experiences with being named after someone else (bc the journal is abt me mind you) and I just think theyd might be interesting to someone else out there. maybe.

[selfinflictedgunshotwound]

cringe so hard when idols (you know who i'm specifically talking abt by now but it applies to all) interact with fans out in public and they're (the fans) always trying to touch and grab them when they're up close oh it gives me such second hand embarrassment and then when they follow them around i get heartburn like just tell them to fuck off 😭😭😭

think after so long of autism be talked abt dehumanize as not human as all things you bad at ways you broken, n use that justify abuse, that after so long of that, autistic people find power in strength based language n there nothing inherently wrong with that think that good—like some autistic parents of high support needs autistic children refuse keep *only* focus on how their child behind on this suck on this lowest percentile on that but instead also on purpose spend time talk about child strength about good at this is good person care about that, valuable, have worth, think that beautiful—but like

think some advocates… especially when new to autism advocacy, new to disability advocacy, new to autism history, nee to learn about autism, new to realize they autistic, sometimes young in body age but sometimes not young in body age but young in Advocacy age… new n naive to it (n some inexperienced some ignorant some refuse learn)

that swing in opposite direction, swing to “its superpower” rebranded (even if they loud abt how that slogan bad), swing to toxic positivity n good parts ONLY talk abt strength ONLY

as much as want autism be talked about more than just how it bad, to humanize dehumanized language, but. really have hard time understand WHY some think it remotely good idea advocate for rebrand definition (definition OF A DISABILITY) into… “only include stuff (some!!!) autistic people good at, strengths (some!!!!! not all) autistic people have,” often stuff that like. not even core to autism, or statistically significant to autism to begin with. like how (some) autistic people learn a lot about information (special interest, social skills, etc) on their own (n when am look at that all can think about is how many of my high support needs / dx severe or level 3 / comorbid intellectual disabled autistic friends would say this not true for them no matter how much they want or not care abt it true or not. n wonder who this new definition proposal is really for. n then look at person who propose this who claim self as inclusive of HSN ppl n am have million questions).

maybe am have different standard on what count as dehumanize? maybe it because am not find word “deficit” as dehumanizing, or “impairment,” or “disorder,” merely see them as objective neutral fact, n get annoyed at euphemistic way of try make it “sound prettier” to everyone else but myself, n look at loudest people in online autism community so strongly loudly argue disagree n think if it just me. —but sometimes see some people basically label saying any struggle related to autism as dehumanize.

idk how say it better but a lot of things based on how much struggle you have n how much you need help. not how much you… good at stuff.

or else it not be disability. it not be disorder.

or maybe that exactly point. to define autism out of disability n disorder.

but see people who agree autism = disability fall into this too.

n have hard time talking abt this because people (often exact people am talk about) get reactionary n think am advocate for old times old language where autism get see as dehumanize only. n. that not true

a lot of things based on how much struggle you have n how much you need help. not how much you… good at stuff.

you give help to people who need help most. n not group of people named after how they learn lots stuff by themselves.

n it dangerous because… many autistic people depend on shit ton of help.

n maybe am weird outlier but to me that value neutral. there respectful way talk about it n then there harsh ableist dehumanizing way talk about it. but to me that value neutral fact that co-exist with strength person may have.

sometimes you really need talk about how much strength someone have.

other times you really. really. really need talk about ways need help.

n idk. for a disability n disabling disorder. am think it should be focus on 2nd option. done respectfully.

a/n: I’M BACK. and pls exercise patience w me i’ve got 40+ requests so im aiming for abt 3-5 a day cause im on a month school holidays now and i miss writing so i will be prioritising requests (unlike some ppl who don’t wanna prioritise me? [she’ll know who she is]). but i am js a girl so don’t hate if it takes a while to get to your particular request xx

masterlist !

ᯓ★ he’s confident as hell. he’s been with older girls, he’s not shy, and he loves to show you a good time. he’s got that cocky grin and raspy voice in your ear, whispering filthy things no matter where you are.

ᯓ★ neck kisses are his signature move. biting, sucking, leaving bruises right where your shirt won’t hide them. he wants people to know who you belong to.

ᯓ★ he’s so into control. not in a scary way—but in a “hands gripping your hips so you move how he wants” way. he’s the type to murmur, “good girl, just like that,” when you listen.

ᯓ★ dirty talk king. thick dub accent, voice dropping lower when he’s worked up. he’s constantly praising you and swearing under his breath about how gorgeous you look coming undone for him.

ᯓ★ spontaneous as fuck (anyone disagreeing be fr). he’d fuck you anywhere depending on his mood: car, alley, stairwell at Biddies, rugby showers if he can get away with it. the thrill does it for him. but if you aren’t as experienced i’m picturing him being gentle with the location— bedrooms (yours and his) and is very private locations.

ᯓ★ a bit possessive. if someone looks at you too long, he’ll have his arm around you, pressing a kiss to your temple, or flat-out dragging you away so he can remind you who you belong to.

ᯓ★ loves you on top. not because he’s lazy—because he likes watching you move. his hands grip your thighs, eyes fixed on the way you take him, and he’s so vocal about how fucking stunning you look riding him.

ᯓ★ big into aftercare, secretly. wipes you down, pulls you into his chest, strokes your hair. might chirp a teasing “reckon i wore you out, yeah?” but he’s gentle, checking if you’re okay.

ᯓ★ loves seeing your tears. not in a cruel way—he just loves the sight of you overwhelmed. he’ll kiss them away and tell you how beautiful you look crying on his cock.

ᯓ★ likes a bit of hair-pulling. especially if you’re fighting him for control. he’ll wrap your hair around his fist and tilt your head up so you’re forced to look him in the eyes.

ᯓ★ can get rough, but he’s never cruel. you say the word, he stops. no questions. he wants you to love every second of it.

ᯓ★ insanely horny after rugby matches. adrenaline running high, sweaty, keyed up and wanting to bury himself inside you the minute he’s alone with you.

ᯓ★ his hands never stay still. gripping your waist, sneaking under your shirt, trailing over your thighs. even outside the bedroom, he’s always touching you.

ᯓ★ bit of a show-off. loves making you cum loudly, especially if he knows someone might hear. your moans are a badge of honour for him.

ᯓ★ he’s obsessed with your taste. he’ll go down on you for ages, rough tongue, strong hands pinning your hips. and he loves finishing in his mouth.

ᯓ★ low growls when he’s close. not quite words—just that deep, guttural sound in his chest when he’s losing control.

Cw/ I stereotype brits so much in this story, mantion of colonization and also i talk shit abt eel jelly in this fic, if you are a fan of eel jelly im sorry (especially abt your shity taste in cuisine). Still learn english so idk if this fic is readable (my passion to learn english almost vanish the moment i learn the existence of eel jelly).

Since 141 is brits (yes Johnny you r scottish but Scotland is still part of uk and i still gonna stereotype you for this fic) and im southeast asian and consider my self as someone with mid level space tolerance... suddenly thinking abt the first time high spice tolerance! reader cook for the boys.

The first time they saw you in thr kitchen, they got ecstatic. You gonna cook for them and from the smell they know the food gonna be good. But when they try it... The food just too spicy for them, Kyle practically run to the fridge to get milk and Simon just mumbling abt met the angel of death (hes fine. He just a drama queen).

"What kind of spice you put in the food?," John ask. You roll your eyes when Johnny said something abt shit from hell.

"Its mostly garlic, turmeric, and several type of pepper. Its isnt spicy at all."

"I hate to inform you but pepper is spicy."

"Depends. Black pepper isnt."

"Its is."

"Stop try argue abt spices with me, Simon. You brits colonized half the world for spices but cant stomach one."

"We sell it. Not eat it."

"Shame on you and your eel jelly."

John who just done drink half jug of milk suddenly say "Whats wrong with eel jelly?"

"John. Whats right abt it?"

"Well, its edible."

"Its looks like vomit."

"Still edible."

"Spices also edible."

"Too spicy to be edible."

"You probably say salt is spicy."

Johnny who looks like his soul just came back from his trip to another universe (bless him) chipin "It could be."

"Johnny, sorry to inform you but theres a problem with your taste buds"

"You the one who have problem with your tast buds. How can you say that food isnt spicy?"

"Im not a bitch and you just have shit taste in food."

They still eat it tho. And you make different food for them with less spices (much for your own dismay). Your ancestors almost crawl back up from the grave because of it... Its fine as long as the boys enjoy your cook.

(You try to add more spices to their food slowly to build their spice tolerance. Dont tell them)

....

Accidentally erased a word from my phone keybord. Im crying.

"Probably" looks so funny to me. I almost thought its isnt a real word. Its not the reason i erase it tho. The reason i erase it 100% because my finger is faster than my brain.

If you ask where kyle after he run for the milk? Legend say he still in front of the fridge. Devour all your icecream.

Edit : feel bad to stereotype brits but i got piss of by eel jelly so much felt like i got historcal flashback abt brits killed my ancestors.

Edit: its a shame that brits choose british museums as "souvenirs" for their colonial era. Not food. Maybe thats why London sky looks depressing... because the ppl isnt happy enough, because the food looks like a prison camp food.

Now i talk shit abt brits too much but their food is a fucking crime to society especially to the nation that they colonize.

Edit: just found of of stargazy pie.

back with more house autism moments lets go

- when he has meltdowns or gets overstimulated he locks himself in his office with all the lights off and just throws his ball against the wall over and over again. the only person who knows and can tell when he's hurtling over the edge is wilson, and sometimes wilson lets him curl up on his couch with one of wilson's jackets over his head and wilson just quietly does work on his computer so house can listen to him breathing

- house has so so many stim toys because he actively destroys them by accident. he prefers stuff he can spin or manipulate the pieces of (and obvs his ball) but he has to keep such a surplus because he will fucking ruin them or lose them in a moment of stress

- he also uses his gameboy to stim, he's played all of his games so many times he barely has to think about it and having his hands moving keeps his mind straight

- when house is overstimulated or having a meltdown he is dead silent. he was trained into being "normal" by all the ppl in his early life so he just shuts down entirely except for scratching himself or digging his nails into his skin. it took wilson time to recognize this as him melting down but now wilson can recognize the look in his eyes nearly instantly

- house learned asl and forces wilson to learn some too so they can a) talk across the balcony and b) communicate when he's non verbal. he often uses asl to cause fucking PROBLEMS for wilson

- @greghatecrimes posted a bunch of good autistic thirteen stuff and i'm shamelessly piggybacking off of them to say that thirteen learns asl too and then they shit talk the other fellows in front of them. the main purpose was for talking when one of them was nonverbal but then

- house alternates between no eye contact and aggressively too much eye contact. it depends on how he feels but he is unashamed of either. he will kubrick stare you to death

- house uses elaborate metaphors that make sense to no one because idioms and metaphors ALREADY dont make sense to him so why not make up his own

- house's office is meticulously arranged and he can tell if something is different the Minute he comes in. he can also tell with wilson's office

- the reason house doesnt go to department head meetings is because he gets very understimulated and starts acting up! he hates sitting and having to listen and not being able to do any of his stims and he decided its just not worth it

- house is very hypersensitive to smells. hospital smells dont bother him because theyre Familiar but if someone wears too strong cologne or if he's near a candle its all he can think abt

gay rep in gaming and in kcd2: A Rant

Ok, I'll try to make this as cohesive as possible, but remember that this is a rant after all, so excuse any possible mistakes or typos.

The gay representation in KCD2 is genuinely the most well-done, realistic representation that I've seen in gaming so far. There are multiple types of representation that I see in games, so let's break down what they are, why they do or don't suck and how exactly the KCD2 Hansry romance is superior.

Type N1) forced mechanical bisexuality.

In most RPGs, or really any games where you choose your own romantic interest, there is no gender-based limit on who can romance who, to allow a fully immersive experiance, tho I feel inclined to point out that this mechanic was introduces to gaming quite accidentally during the early era of gaming, when everything was still pixilated to all hell, they js didn't think to add a code prohibiting same-sex relationships cz developers didn't take their existanse into accaount at all, but then some players discovered it was a possibility and that's how mechanical-bisexuality became an almost industry standard, scince it opens up a wider market for the game without feeling "threatning" to the true consumers which everything was marketed towards(str8 white men).

Now, why do I call it "mechanical" bisexuality, u may ask? Well, bc it truly is just that. Mechanical. No character in that game i truly bi, it's solely a mechanic that's easier for developers and more convenient for gamers.

A good example of that would be Stardew Valley. I don't remember which bachelorette it is exactly, but as you romance them, you meet their ex, and the sex of the ex is the same as that of the player. So if you're male, the ex will also be male, if ur female, the ex will also be female. So no bisexuality for you. But ig you could still count it as "gay" rep, even tho for me even that feels very technical and mechanical, as none of it feels actually gay, there is no discussion or reference to sexuality and the weight of being in a gay reletionship is never brought up even if the setting of the game is on earth and not some fantasy world where being gay is considered totally ok and gay ppl arent treated any differently from str8s.

And well, since I brought up fantasy worlds, let's talk abt type N2) gay rep in fantasy.

This can be very well done or absolutely terrible, depending on the writing and premise, and I feel like we can use Dragon Age as the perfect example for both ends of the spectrum.

So I actually haven't played Dragon Age, so my wording or explanations may not be perfect, but bear with me. 

So from what I've heard and know abt the game, the gay rep in old games is great and the way they treat gender is very tasteful and generally well done, at least I've never heard anybody complain. Tho is the newest game, it's... well, let's just say it's not the best. You get this nonbinary character and they spend a lot of time bitching and moaning abt coming out to their mom even tho nothing up to that point has made them feel like their mom wouldn't support them or anything. and look, you may call this good rep cuz oh hey its a real life struggle that they are going thru right? But NO! bc it's the very fantasy setting where being gay is totes cool and ok that i mentioned a second ago and it's not treated the same way as on earth, so taking this character from a utopian fantasy world where even the lable "nonbinary" shouldn't exist bc there is no binary in the first place and projecting this earthly struggle onto them as a sorry excuse for representation feels forced and increadibly boring. Also, some other conversations in the game abt gender were incredibly cringe and also felt very forced, but maybe they were out of context or smth idk but whatever the case may be, it's a separate issue, so let's move on.

type N3) canon gays

So, most of the time, I love all the canon gays in gaming and any media in general.

In gaming, canon gays r mostly in big story games. Like, the first most obvious ones coming to mind would be Ellie and Dina from The Last of Us, or Mileena and Tanya in MK1. Tho those are the only straight up gay gay all up in ur face gay couples that I can think of from AAA games that I've played, so there isn't enough of this type of rep out there. Tho I feel it is the best and most "true" rep in gaming that is the most enjoyable for players AND could be more eye-opening and redeeming for any homophobes playing the game.

So now that all of that is out of the way, you may say, well, aren't Henry and Hans just another case of the so-called mechanical bisexuality? And to that I'll say a very confident no. 

Let's tackle Henry's sexuality first. In both the first and second game, he can get with various women, not even mentioning all the trips to bathhouses, and the only men Henry can get with are Black Bartosch and Hans. The sole existence of the Black Bartosch option is, I feel like, an argument enough to Henry's true bisexuality, but if you choose to turn him down, you need to choose an option saying "I prefer women", so some may argue that there! He said it himself! But there is a second piece of evidence in the game that confirms his sexuality to be canonically bi. When you get to Kutttenberg, one of the first side quests you can do is "A Good Scrub" in which you help the new bathhouse owner Betty safely transport her bathhouse wenches from some inn to the bathhouse. While on the road, you can talk to them and at some point they'll ask you if you prefer tits or ass(game of the year type convos am i right?) and u could either staight up answer ass or tits or you could try to evade answering the question, and if you choose the last option, the girl will joking ask henry "are you sure your don't prefer boys?" and that gets Henry INCREADIBLY flustered, he starts stuttering and can't fully deny it and just mutters a quiet, frustrated "fuck" at the end. Yall that's not a reaction of a str8 person, it's a reaction of a queer man that's just been clocked. Don't even try to deny it.

Now onto Hans. We do see terribly little of him and his interactions with other ppl, but there is still very strong evidence for his bisexuality, which is a book that you find under his bed in the Devil's Den, titled "A Collection of Somewhat Bawdy Poems". It's literally just a book with a bunch of homoerotic poems in it, I'm not ever kidding. Here are all of em so you get the full picture:

"My love for you is heartfelt.

You can tell from my unbuckled belt.

My mind is troubled badly

by one question above all:

When will my lover fondly

caress my left ball?

"Love thy neighbour", saith Our Lord.

And I took it to heart.

I started to fulfil His word,

at least in their southern part.

My heart is mourning dejectedly.

Even my hand rejected me!

By day and night I think of you,

I shall love you always.

My heart is faithful, loyal and true,

Though my body sometimes strays.

A knight in battle attire

got into bed with his squire.

Instead of conquering forts,

They played with each other's swords."

That last part I highlighted is literally them ARE YOU SERIOUSSSSS. Now I did see someone on Reddit saying that the book appears in the room before Hans ever moves in, but let's be so honest for a second, in a game as detailed as KCD2, that book being specifically under HANS'S bed is no coincidence, even if it appeared earlier than Hans himself. The devs knew what they were doing. and that book is still there whether you romance Hans or not, so call me delusional if you want, but for me, that's evidence enough.

Now, onto the most important part: why is Hansry so good?

In my purely subjective opinion, I think that if KCD2 was a story game instead of an RPG, it would be a type N3 representation, and Hansry would be the canon couple. Henry undeniably has the most connection and chemistry with Hans. He doesn't interact with Katherine much and it does feel like they're more good friends-at-arms than anything, and at the end of the game, Henry himself jokes that she's too old for him, and ugh don't even get me started on Rosa. Henry literally barely interacts with her, her romance option is so weird to me fr.

I also think that Hansry was planned, or at least thought of and acknowledged by the devs from the very beginning of the franchise. The way they interact in the first game can VERY easily be interpreted as flirting and they're literally your textbook example of the enemies-to-friends-to-lovers troupe. So with the foundation that the first game gives us, their eventual romance is very believable and realistic, it doesn't feel like one of those gay relationships that was never meant to be but was basically "pushed" into canon by fans, ykwim?

So for me what makes their couple such great rep is how even without the gay relationship, they remain queer men, their sexuality isn't purely mechanical. Their relationship doesn't feel flat or forced, like it often happens with optional gay romances. And even without ever acknowledging the weight of their relationship, it feels natural and not like the devs didn't wanna discuss gay stuff yk? Like in early game Henry can literally fuck some girl (i dont remember her name srry:3) out in the open - in a forest, but he specifically locks the door before kissing Hans. After the kiss, Hans looks worried and scared and apologises bc he knows that he, as a man, literally just kissed his dear friend, another man, and he doesn't know how Henry will react to it, and that's why he's so worried. And through these little details, the game acknowledges the weight of their relationship without them ever having to sit down and talk abt it, or the game having to address it, and that's what good writing is! It's refreshingly realistic.

Every time I see a description of autistics and their routines, esp ones aimed to make allistics understand better, I feel like my experiences as an actually autistic person are completely misrepresented by it. And it's entirely possible that it's just me always finding posts that weren't meant for me specifically, but I've never found anyone talk abt autistic routines and be like "yep, that's me, that's how routines feel to me".

It sometimes feels like that even the most well-meaning of posts or articles or whatever boil down to the idea that, at the end of the day, an autistic person's routine doesn't serve any "real" purpose. That routines are just what we got used to over time, and as such they bring us familiarity and comfort, but beyond that familiarity and comfort they are senseless and pointless. That you should respect an autistic person's routine (so long as it's not harming anyone) - despite it being obviously nonsense.

And to be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with routines "just" for the sake of familiarity and comfort, and I do agree that you should respect ppl's boundaries even if they don't make sense to you. This isn't the problem. My issue is that every time I take a look at my own routines, I could take each and every part of it and tell you exactly what specific purpose it serves and why it cannot be removed without serious negative consequences.

For example. I tend to eat at the same times every day, because my body sucks at telling me properly when I'm hungry and sticking to time instead of bodily sensations allows me to ensure I eat properly. I always go through my morning routine the same way because "morning routine" is a lot easier to remember than remembering each and every element of getting ready, individually, every morning. I take the same route to work every time because paying attention to my surroundings is extremely taxing, and walking the familiar path lets me turn off my mind and let my instincts instead of conscious decisions direct me.

And this perspective changes why I might be upset about changes in routine as well. It's not just upsetting because it's unfamiliar and scary, it's upsetting because the consequences can be downright painful. If I don't eat on time I might forget to eat at all and could end up in a too-hungry-to-eat spiral that can take days to escape. If my morning routine is messed with I am almost certain to forget at least one step of it, which, depending on the step, can mess with my entire rest of the day (for instance, forgetting to pack my bottle and not being able to drink as a result).

So much of the advice I see floating around regarding these routines seems to be of the belief that they don't actually stem from anything besides habit, and as such the negative reaction to deviation from these routines is purely emotional (and irrational). Even in the better cases that don't just outright dismiss this emotional reaction as something to be ignored, there's still this undertone that the emotional reaction can be culled and autistic ppl can be taught how to be more adaptable and how to let go of these routines, by showing them how to handle the emotional reaction better.

And while I don't necessarily think this is bad advice (it can be really helpful esp as an autistic person to figure out ways to step outside your already rather small comfort zone, so advice like this is actually greatly appreciated), but I really wish there was more acknowledgement of routines that are based on more physical and practical stuff and can't be changed with determination and patience alone. That sometimes the emotional reaction is completely rational and justified, and that some routines can't really be changed without facing some incredibly negative consequences.

okay so. i told @kiththecat i would psychoanalyze their branzy from a jester walks into an amusement park. so here i go.

my qualifications: one intro to psych class. and lots of research.

A few key notes abt branzy:

- thrill seeker, he loves being scared. there is sooo many examples. While he loves being scared, he doesnt actually want to be hurt.

- he is more worried over getting caught than guilty abt his crimes.

- he is mildly manipulative. He cares abt ppl, but he also doesnt mind manipulating them to get what he wants; such as Chapter 10, when he convinces Kaboodle to let him stop hiding.

- Branzy calculates everything. He is scarily calm in some of the more intense situations, such as after the bomb when the police arrive. honorable mention is specifically the minute scene in chapter 5, “‘I’ll keep that in mind,’ Branzy says drily, realising only after the words have left his mouth that they’re way too nonchalant.” Later on he talks to Clown about it. He mentions how he sometimes does this stuff unconsciously.

yeah so. hes a bit of a freak.

the main thing to note is that he still cares about the people around him. this changes a LOT of what his other actions tell us.

for the thrill seeking attribute, there are some psychologists who say it can combat stress. and lets just say branzy is definitely stressed.

the other two points i brought up could point to something like a personality disorder.

to diagnose a personality disorder you need to look at a few factors that deviate from “the norm”

perception

emotional responses

interpersonal functioning

impulse control

Branzy deviates from the norm with perception and interpersonal functioning.

personality disorders are categorized into three clusters

Cluster A: odd, eccentric behaviors (paranoid and schizoid personalities)

Cluster B: highly dramatic, emotionally and behaviorally (borderline, antisocial, and narcissistic)

Cluster C: anxious and fearful (avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive)

looking through the diagnosis criteria and the disorders in each cluster, none seem to fully fit. He is most likely Cluster B if we were to put him into a cluster.

Me and my friend hung out for a few hours yesterday and yapped about op way too much so now i wanna contribute more sexuality hcs but for side characters instead of any specific group. you can have ur own hcs these r just mine

ace - TRANS TRANS TRANS TRANS TRANS you will believe in transmasc ace agenda. he is so trans, what are you doing walking around shirtless CONSTANTLY if not to flex your top surgery scars. he’d beat up anyone as a kid who called him a girl hes known this for a WHILE. sexuality wise hes gay, hes gay and theres not a hint of asexuality in him because hes a freak and unapologetically loves men openly. gay icon in the op world

law - i havent seen law being shipped with a woman once and i find that really funny and telling of what people think of him. and theyre correct, hes a gay man. difference between him and ace is that he’d rather die than admit he even likes people so yk. cis but he did ace’s top surgery

sabo - i have never before seen a character so very much be aromantic without being an implied aromantic character. hes not repulsed by romance its just that hes preoccupied with overthrowing the government and supporting his brothers at all times, he has other things to worry abt. gender, could be anything and could honestly fluctuate depending on the day. at the very least, he fist fights transphobes on the daily and in a modern au would hangout at iva’s drag bar and fight anyone who acts weird

yamato - if you dont think yamato is a transman i want you to get away from my blog okay thanks. that isnt a hc, thats a fact and ppl who disagree are weird in my eyes. sexuality wise, he could honestly like ANYONE, but he just finds himself drawn to men more often than not (ace) so if you were to ask him he’d just say “oh men are cool, women are pretty but you know i cant find myself drawn to them” and he thinks hes normal get a load of this guy

kaku - most proudly bisexual guy to exist. i think he started to think more to himself about things during his time at water 7. he could also be okay with it and live his life that way without any shame because he wasnt an assassin working for the government there, he was kaku so yk, he could actually openly be with whoever he wanted. gender, cis man but if you talk about him using they/them only he’d just laugh and not correct you

lucci - hah gay. him and kaku probably got married in water 7. cp9 questioned kaku for marrying lucci, meanwhile pauile just questioned to himself how things would work cause of the pigeon. lucci is such a gay man, he fucking trans too dont ask me how i know i just know. Ai can sniff out my fellow transguys from a mile away alright

kalifa - oh i love it when women hate on men but the second a woman shows up she acts all flirty and confident. totally heterosexual of you kalifa. no but shes such a man hating lesbian, she always has been and could probably be due to men’s treatment of her during childhood which made her really not like most of them. i need to write out a backstory for her damn. oh and shes trans trust me on that one

koby - sometimes a lot of op characters will be inlove with luffy and never get their feelings returned, and one of those people is koby. yeah hes gay, and asexual he just kept discovering stuff like that when training under garp cause garp is so okay with everything, and then we incorporate more moments between him and helmeppo like in the live action where they sit and talk about stuff. koby realises hes gay and sighs. “that explains a lot…”

buggy - gaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy he doesnt like women he cant bring himself to he had his first tragic yaoi relationship as a teen and never looked back. gender is whatever you want it to be baby. freaky as all hell my GOD every time im reminded of the cross guild and what they do to buggy i just know. theyre so freaky

shanks - bisexual icon but hes been hung up on the same ex (buggy) for so many years that other romances are less prioritised cause “omg what if buggy comes back:}” get over it man he aint coming back for u. trans man, look at him and his pussy yeah thats a trans dude hell yeah

Said friend i yapped with is —> @brooks-heart-sunglasses pookie 🤞
