Concept: Love Boat AU where being queer is perfectly acceptable in society by the time the show takes place and every June they have a special pride cruise.

The ship is decked out in rainbows and pride flags. The crew wear pride flags and pronoun pins.

And the ship is full of queer passengers. At least once somebody didn't realize it was a special queer cruise when they booked but figured out they were queer while there.

My biggest tip for fanfic writers is this: if you get a character's mannerisms and speech pattern down, you can make them do pretty much whatever you want and it'll feel in character.

Logic: Characters, just like real people, are mallable. There is typically very little that's so truly, heinously out of character that you absolutely cannot make it work under any circumstance. In addition, most fans are also willing to accept characterization stretches if it makes the fic work. Yeah, we all know the villain and the hero wouldn't cuddle for warmth in canon. But if they did do that, how would they do it?

What counts is often not so much 'would the character do this?' and more 'if the character did do this, how would they do it?' If you get 'how' part right, your readers will probably be willing to buy the rest, because it will still feel like their favourite character. But if it doesn't feel like the character anymore, why are they even reading the fic?

Worry less about whether a character would do something, and more about how they'd sound while doing it.

Hey mattress company? I do not want a mattress called "Ghost bed massage." That sounds terrifying.

They're like "Wow, you're doing such a great job of being supportive. A lot of allies don't know the history and have a narrow view of what Pride is."

"Mr. Farnon, you are wearing a three-piece suit with no pride symbols. You could not look more stereotypically straight if you actively tried."

He steals a bi flag from Tristan but it doesn't help. Everyone just says it's so great of him to carry a flag for his brother's orientation. Tristan, who KNOWS his brother is queer, thinks this is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

Cute thought: Modern AU ACGAS characters with Darrowby Pride. (Ft. my orientation headcanons).

Helen and Maggie and James and Tristan like to go out wearing their respective pride flags (demisexual, bi, greyromantic, and bi again) and hold hands in various combinations.

After they have kids they get a multi-kid pram and put the polyamory flag on it.

Mrs. Hall's not keen on big rambunctious parties, but she makes sure Skeldale House is appropriately decorated with everyone's flags. Including a gay flag for Edward and Paddy.

At first she doesn't put one up for herself because she's not fully comfortable with letting everyone know she's queer. But eventually she puts up a subtle lesbian flag with the other flags.

Dorothy comes to visit for Pride with her bi flag and immediately notices the lesbian flag. Mrs. Hall tells her that that's the only part she's comfortable with sharing right now.

But eventually, Mrs. Hall decides to put up her ace flag too. She's shy about it, but it's an important part of her identity and she finally decides that she's ready to be open about it.

Meanwhile Siegfried is having an excellent time telling anyone in hearing distance about the history of pride, and of each of the flags, and of why kink and leather belong at pride and...

He does not notice that people did not ask for a history lesson and are annoyed. Nor does he notice that basically everyone thinks, incorrectly, that he's straight.

Tristan: *parking his car* Hey Jim, am I straight?

James:

James:

Tristan: I mean, like, my parking job.

James: Oh yeah you're good.
