How did Carna and Maragold realize they were NB as young children? Also I love how they use fae and they as main pronouns. Especially fae/faer. Unhinged pink robot (affectionate). Also, what would’ve they been like as 1010 bots? I’m curious

Thank you! Glad you like the two using non-standard pronouns as their mains! (You are totally right about Carna being unhinged in an affectionate way lol)

I like the idea that when Neon J made Carna's new body he lessened the effect of the "girl" code that fae had. Same with Dew and the "boy" code that they had.

When Neon made Maragold's body though, he wasn't thinking of that as Purl hadn't brought up the whole gender situation at the time, only to keep Maragold a child.

Either way though, the two were just copying older 1010 at first. Maragold looked up to Purl a lot and decided that they wanted to be nonbinary just like Purl. And for the most part it does actually feel good and nice to Maragold to have they/them pronouns used on them.

Though I will say that talking with Yinu and seeing how she feels like a girl (with a human experience) compared to how Maragold felt like a girl (with a robot experience) was the INITIAL factor in Maragold thinking they aren't a girl.

So their robotic experience does correlate a lot with their gender experience/expression. I do honestly think Maragold might change or add on to their identity as they grow older and actually figure out what they truly feel like. But for now they are sticking with the non-binary label as they feel it best fits them right now.

Carna on the other hand has always been a bit on the weird and reckless side of things. Always getting into trouble with Martha and not conforming in any way shape or form (which caused a lot of problems for some of the other dolls at the time).

I would say that Carna mainly wanted to be different and wanted to mess with people and chose some weird pronouns to use for fun. Only to realize people would actually use them for faer because they were listening to Carna.

It was probably the first real time someone listened to Carna and actually tried to make faer feel comfortable and seen. It was weird but also really nice. Carna kept changing pronouns over and over, like weekly there would be a different set just to see what fae could get away with but also with what would feel right.

Fae really, REALLY did not want to go back to using she/her pronouns. It made faer anxious and feel weird, which fae hated so much. Once fae found fae/faer pronouns though, and used them for a week, fae didn't change them. Which came as a surprise to the people around faer as they were expecting another weekly change, only for these pronouns to have stuck.

I don't think Carna will change faer pronouns for a while, but faer might add more later on. I don't actually have a label for Carna, as I think fae would see the non-binary colors as ugly or something and reject the label just because of that. But fae will probably come around and actually use the non-binary label (maybe agender) when fae gets older.

And for Dew, even with his "boy" code limited, he still felt like he should go by he/him pronouns. He didn't feel like he "earned" a right to use other pronouns since he wasn't around as long as the rest of 1010 were to have grown and figured himself out.

However, once they met up with the Sayu Crew and Club, and saw how the mermaids were still pretty new and all using different kinds of pronouns already made them start to use he/they pronouns and feel better about themself.

Putting the "what if they were 1010s" thought under a read more because I don't have a clear answer and will be rambling a bit

As for them as 1010s? Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure. Because for them to have been 1010's they would have had to not been broken/lost along with the fact they most likely would have had a warbot code mixed into their doll code.

Like Dew is a diving bot mixed with the doll code and the first initial 1010 code. I'd have to think of other warbot classes/jobs that Pink and Orange would have been mixed with to create their 1010 versions, who would also have different names as Neon J would have named them instead of them naming themselves (I like to think the main 5 1010 names were names Neon J wanted to name his children, but he never gave them names at first, he waited for them to ask for names. Which is why Dew was able to name themself).

So yeah, depending on what kind of warbot they got mixed with would change what their personality would be like.

Right now all I can think of is a chef/cook warbot, or maybe a driver warbot (one that the captain would command to drive the ship when they need to step away). There would probably one that worked with torpedos, or a job for just working maintenance on other warbots/engines.

There also warbots that were not even on battleships that Neon could have chosen from. Though usually Neon actually would have taken defective robots to try and fix or just save from being scrapped. Honestly that's probably why 1010 has so many problems was because they were a combination of abused dolls, traumatized soldiers, and defective warbots all mixed together and forced to be musical idols that feed off of attention of others (attention they never had before: the good kind).

I would say that if 1010 came out with all 8 members (White, Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Purple, Orange, and Pink) then they would still be the kind of flirty K-Pop BOY band that the original 1010 were in the canon game (yes Neon would have changed ALL their genders to male the same way he did to Purl and Haym).

The original 5 1010 would end up like they did later on, but I can't think of what Purple, Orange and Pink would turn out into. I doubt Orange would be as trusting of people, and Pink would definitely be more mean at times....

Actually, now that I think about it, 1010 wouldn't be entirely the same! Because there is a chance that Neon would have changed their roles up! White would still be the leader, but I can see Blue turning into the "older brother" type instead of just the "cool guy" role. Purple probably would have turned into the "cool guy" while Pink would have been the "funny one" and Green turned into a like laid back guy (not the same as cool, but like probably more like a stoner but without the implications of drugs if that makes any sense).

I can also see Pink as just being the "youngest" of the group. Yellow would probably be turned into the "loud one" or like the main dancer/visual of the group while Orange turns into the "innocent" one.

Once I think of what warbots Pink and Orange would have been mixed with I could give a better prediction of how they would have turned out once they gained full sentience as 1010s.

I can give one for Dew though. He was supposed to be the "youngest" one in the group when it was just the 6 1010 together. Him, Haym, and Eloni were supposed to be the more comedic part of 1010, with Zimelu, Dew, and Eloni being the troublesome part of the band. Purl and Rin would always be the more responsible ones of the band but also would help set up jokes or "protect" Haym and Dew from the Zimelu and Eloni's jokes/pranks. (All this based off of the roles they were given and what they were initially supposed to behave like, Haym later on becomes the more jokey/mischievous one as time goes on with the OG 1010).

With this being said, I would say that Dew (or whatever his name would have ended up being), would have turned out a lot less anxious and a lot more social. He'd be more confident in his abilities and actually be more of a sports oriented robot. Especially with swimming and other water-related activities.

He and Purl would not be as close as they are in the OG timeline. He'd be a lot more close with Zimelu and Haym. If anything he'd probably be a bit more of a bully but in a teasey kind of way, not a malicious kind of way (though he would try to get Purl soaked with water a bunch, making Purl kinda hate/resent him the same way they do Rin).

I think Dew/Purple would stick with he/him pronouns and not go into using they/them. He MIGHT use it/its but only online in a text kind of way, he wouldn't want people verbally using it/its pronouns on him. He'd identify as cis.

Also, he and Haru would never become a couple because by the time Haru is made he would be around 25 years old and sea would be 16/17. Instead he'd try to get a surfer girlfriend (or boyfriend honestly) that was his age/a bit older than him.

That's all I have right now honestly. Sorry I couldn't give more insight on Carna and Maragold's 1010 status. I literally never thought of what they would be as 1010s before now lol. Other than like, one drawing I made of Maragold looking like a standard 1010.

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?
