What fictional character are you completely convinced is a lesbian and nothing anyone can say will change your mind on that and why?

I want to know because I feel like lesbian head-canons are always pushed aside in fandom.

what is that pet name you have sid calling hawk? i can't seem to find a translation anywhere and i'm curious!

Hello! :D This is a headcanon that my friend @siriusnebulae came up with for Sidney, and I was so in love with it that I adopted it immediately.

Zissele is a Yiddish term of endearment that essentially means "sweetie," with the -ele suffix making it diminutive. This is why it's more "sweetie" than "sweetheart."

That suffix, -ele, is one that's often attached to names to demonstrate that this is a person you are very close and endeared to. So you take Hawk, add the diminutive suffix, and you get Hawkele!

Another one we have comes from me being like "Man, it's a shame that 'kitten' has become such a meme of a nickname, because Hawk is so cat-like that I bet he would honestly be smug and preening if someone called him that. I just can't bring myself to use it seriously when writing him." So Sirius was like, "Well, what about ketzeleh? Yiddish for kitten." And I was immediately sold.

Notably these headcanons all really came about because Sirius had been looking for a term of endearment Sidney might use for Hawkeye and came across the word 'feygele,' which means 'little bird' and was used frequently as a fond name for young girls. Gradually, it became a disparaging term for gay men, but it subsequently began to be reclaimed and defanged. I believe we both headcanon Sidney as a gay man, so there was a lot of power in the thought of him not only reclaiming that term but introducing it to Hawkeye, Captain Sodom himself, who then takes it with incredible glee and relish, and it becomes quite a fond and sometimes teasing endearment from Sidney.

We both headcanon Hawkeye as having a Jewish mother—he uses Yiddish so frequently in the course of the series and shows what appears to be quite a reverence when witnessing the bris in S3's Life With Father—and Sidney is Jewish as well, so letting them have that connection was really meaningful for us. I especially headcanon that Hawk had no other connections to his Jewish heritage when his mother passed away. He recognizes the fondness in Sidney's voice when he first uses those endearments and feels an instant warmth as he realizes they're Yiddish, but he doesn't know what they mean until Sidney tells him. It becomes a moment of being seen between them both, and Hawkeye especially gets to really feel that sense of belonging that he sometimes has been missing when it comes to his heritage.

So yeah, now I'm hooked on that headcanon! Those are Sidney's Special Names for Hawkeye, so I am incapable of writing any other characters utilizing them fhdkdfs

Sometimes we get little peeks into what their postwar bliss is going to look like and it makes me crazy. Just two husbands reading together before bed. I'm gonna cry.
