#and im always hesitant to use terms like “biologically female”

[tangledinink]

I just saw another ask calling Gemini au Donnie afab, and obviously he does have XX chromosomes in your au (or the turtle/mutant equivalent at least?), but if afab means assigned female at birth and Donnie and Leo were assigned male at birth by Big Mama.... Does that technically make the two of them amab trans men???

Or.... amak? assigned male at kidnapping?

LMAO yeah. I always grapple with the terms because I'm like. WELL... THEY TECHNICALLY... WEREN'T ASSIGNED FEMALE AT BIRTH LMAO,,,, they're both, technically speaking, amab, so yes, they are in fact both amab trans men lmao.

And they weren't TECHNICALLY kidnapped... so... amaa? assigned male at... adoption??? u w u

── the high council is prepared to hear the story of EVELYN CHARLOTTE ‘ LOTTIE ‘ BANKS , a VAMPIRE while noted as a WANDERER. we might of mistaken them as MADELAINE PETSCH. appearances may be deceiving, with immortality being so common among supernaturals. this being has walked the earth for NINETY years, and their face reflects an age of TWENTY THREE they’re a CITIZEN of estonia and will be residing in TALLIN.

during their stay of the harvest they shall work by day as a STRIPPER to blend in with the mortal crowd. however, at night you might find them as AN ESCORT / ASSASSIN. they’re UNHAPPY about the harvest, however, they plan to please the high council.

PERSONALITY.

vampire beauty queen , primadonna , self-proclaimed princess. this darling girl has always loved attention , luxury , all things beautiful and transitioning to the darkness only heightened that love. so much so that she will do just about anything to satisfy her own wants or needs. lottie is ruthless , verging on sociopathic. she is delicate , but she is dangerous. she is by no means unfeeling though , nor incapable of love. she can be sweet , she can be soft , she can be pink cheeks and bright smiles just as she can be bloody lips and deranged laughter. she is genuinely kind , loving and gentle unless your death would make her happier than your being alive.  

ruling planet: mercury — the planet of communication body parts: shoulders , arms , hands element: air good day: fascinating , original , resourceful , charming , wise , adventurous bad day: restless , distracted , two-faced , judgmental , depressed , overwhelmed favorite things: cell phones , fast cars , trendy clothes , obscure music , guitars , books , clubbing least favorite things: small-minded people , dress codes , authority figures , silence , routines secret wish: to have all the answers how to spot her: mischievous twinkle in her eyes,  humming , talking with her hands where you’ll find her: taking pictures , behind the bar , in a chat room , playing devil’s advocate keywords: communication , collaboration , synergy , cleverness , wittiness , inventiveness ,  ingenuity

charlotte’s energy circulates in a quick and frenetic way , witty wordplay and dynamic dialogue are her forte. she is great for brainstorming and socializing , but craves “ twin flame ” and kindred spirit energy and is always up for an intellectual meeting of the minds. 

under the influence she can find herself with the gift of gab , talking and conversing with others for hours hopping from pop culture trends to deep political topics. beware of when she becomes a “ gossip girl , ” as she can crank up the rumor mill. as renowned dr. bernie siegel says , “ we have the ability to cure with either ‘ words ’ or kill with ‘ swords. ' ” 

the essence of charlie’s energy is fascinating , original , resourceful , charming , wise , and adventurous. some negative manifestations can devolve into more restless , distracted , two-faced , judgmental , depressed , and overwhelmed energy. 

lottie has a tendency to ride the roller coaster of life , spiraling skywards one minute and plunging into lows the next. if you can keep up with her vibes though , you’ll have one hell of a thrill !

charlotte exhibits great creative synergy , instantly connecting people to each other. always inclined to spend time with friends and focused on changing the world one idea at a time.

a little bit older and wiser , more flexible and comfortable with change than others. she can “ chameleon ” herself to fit into a variety of situations. 

can come across as clever and quick-witted , eager to dish out the juiciest pieces of news and happenings to their friends via text message and social media. in case that’s not enough , she’ll probably send you a snapchat story for good measure.

lottie loves fast cars , trendy clothes and any wacky gadgets or games they can tinker around with. part of the fun ( and curse ) of this fiery red head is that you’re never quite sure which personality you’re going to experience. will it be the vivacious , pun-dishing jokester or the snarky , mean-spirited critic ? if you’re willing to see fifty shades of crazy , she’ll color your life in thrilling ways !

BACKGROUND.

evelyn charlotte banks was born june fourth , 1930 and was given the dark gift in the early fifties ( so you’ll definitely notice some call backs to that time period ). she has grown and developed and adapted throughout time better than most , but you can take the sock hop away from the girl but not out of her. she remembers her life before , but doesn’t dwell on nor even really miss it.

she grew up in your rather classic straight lace upper middle class suburban family and community with her perfect nuclear family. the town they lived in was small , close knit , and everyone knew everyone but especially who evelyn’s family was. 

she was in a lot of pageants growing up and was even platinum blonde for most of her human life , because she was so afraid her red hair would keep her from being successful.

when she was eighteen years old with big shiny dreams of silver screens , luxury , and eyes all on her was all she could think of. she left her family and their small generational hometown in georgia for bigger , better things in none other than hollywood. 

she was on her way ,  so desperate to be in the movies and be like marilyn monroe but shortly after is when she became ensnared by darkness and evil.  she wasn’t very successful at all in the beginning so , she started wearing tighter , shinier outfits when she was on stage when suddenly she started getting actual recognition. 

she wasn’t acting like she had intended , but it turned out her voice was good enough to land her plenty of lounge singing gigs in multiple joints. it was one particularly dark , seedy , dangerous joint that only opened once the sun set completely and closed upon the sun rise that she finally started to get propositioned to do so-called ‘ film gigs. it was also in this place where she met him for the first time. 

( tw: cult ment. ) her maker is very old and before she ever knew he was anything more than a handsome older gentleman she was fully under his control. he was something of a cult leader who for the most part glamoured his ‘ followers ‘ , but that was never necessary with charlotte. she was thoroughly and completely in love with her maker , she even ‘ married ‘ him and lived on his compound.

( tw: rape ment. , assault ment. ) it wouldn’t be for a few more years that he would finally turn her ,and only after he found her brutally beaten and raped for nothing more than a snuff film. her maker found her on the verge of death and wasted no time in saving her life by bestowing his dark gift upon her. 

( tw: murder ment. ) to say that lottie felt indebted to and fell in love with her maker to the point of obsession was an understatement , she would do anything and everything he asked of her including murder not in the name of feeding.

( tw: death ment. ) the films she was in were kept in the dark underbelly of the industry and no one was none the wiser , not to mention everyone thought she was dead after her last film.

so , she eventually did make her debut in film and was even on the silver screen finally. this only lasted for as long as she could get away with not aging before eventually she disappeared off the radar with her maker. the two traveled far and wide for a long time , but eventually went their separate ways even though lottie wanted nothing of the sort her maker commanded she live her own life without him now.

( tw: murder ment. ) she has since become something of a murderer ?? she prefers to call herself an assassin but it’s rare anyone actually pays her to murder anyone. you could even call her  a serial killer if you take into account that her victims are almost always men of the unsavory variety , but she has two sides to her personality and it’s not like she’s full maniac.

ETC.

if you know what yandere means she fits that description very well , and if you don’t know what it means well:  a common term in otaku fandom , a yandere is a person ( usually female ) romantically obsessed with someone to the point of using violent means to get them in their arms. often can be seen featured with a sharp weapon and a psychotic grin.

pretty much she comes off as this sweet , lovely , beautiful woman with lots of talent but in reality she can switch that off in an instant and literally kill you without any hesitation if it benefits her or someone she loves.

anyway she has been in estonia for only a bit now , but how long is flexible. she probably likes the scenery and the supernatural presence , but she’s honestly not a country mouse at all. 

also not that she needs money , but there is very little she loves more than attention and money. she works at a club as live entertainment on occasion , singing or stripping or bartending or occasionally doing , mostly for the attention but also if she’s in need of money.

plbbbbbb i dont have the spoons to write out my whole dissertation on trans identity (which i think i will write a book on someday) but basically words are made up yall. humans make social constructs as a way to interpret facts. like take race for example, there is no actual thing as black/white/asian/latino/etc like?? they're not inherent human qualities. what IS fact is certain genetic markers that make our bodies develop certai traits, and they can be traced back to a regional group that has those genetics. EVERYTHING BESIDES THAT is simply how we conceptualize those traits. so we make words. so instead of saying "humans who are from the native population of the americas that are originally descended from north east asian populations carry genes that code for medium to dark skin, epicanthal folds, broad noses with strong bridges, black straight hair, short stature" and so fucking on, it's easier to just say native american. BUT im native american and barely fit any of those traits?? how does that work? bc race is a social construct!! i have more than one set of genes that contributed to building me, so my appearance differs. does that mean im Not native american? fuck no!! bc that word has come to mean so much more than just genetics, it's also a social group. my position in society is of a mestizo person, regardless of my appearance so that being said-words are fake okay. they change constantly. within the last 40 or so years that the queer rights movement has had a strong presence, the "appropriate" term for trans people has gone from transvestite to transsexual to transgender to whatever the fuck we're at now. the trans community used to welcome gender nonconforming people. today we wouldn't consider cis drag queens (and kings? not sure) to be trans, however at a certain point in history, they were part of the trans community and we need to recognize that bc the younger generations owe them so much gratitude and respect for the hard work they did that has paved the way for modern trans rights. societal context makes a huge difference. the concept of dysphoria being a necessary trait to qualify as trans is very new. now, does that mean i think dysphoric and non dysphoric trans people are the same? not at all. the same way i dont think trans people and gender nonconforming people are the same. and im very hesitant about using the word trans to define us all. but we don't have any better words. presently, the best way i have of describing things is trans, cis, and not-trans-and-not-cis. kind of a mouthful. in the future, hopefully the Near future, we will have words that describe these concepts. but for the mean time, i would much rather welcome in everyone than to try to police who qualifies as "trans enough" if the cis narrative does not fit u, then u are more than welcome into this community, if you would like to join. and if u decide that the trans narrative is also not u, then u are absolutely valid in being neither cis nor trans. on a personal note: im agender, and i dont feel that makes me trans. it means im not cis, that's for sure. but being agender is inherently who i am. there's no difference or deviation about it. society is the one that's different. the fact that ive been labeled a girl has nothing to do with Me, and everything to do with other people. i was born agender, i will always be agender, it's me. however i Do consider myself trans bc i am dysphoric in a female coded body and want to change that. i dont know if my dysphoria is bc of how ive been raised to conceptualize biological sex or if i would feel this discomfort with my body no matter what society i was raised in. i do know that ive felt this way since i was born (very literally, some of my earliest memories are of the intense discomfort i felt whenever i felt my body. my mom would often dress me in leggings only and i would cry bc i felt so exposed) so that makes me inclined to think that this discomfort is part of how im built, and i would feel this way no matter what. and im taking steps to alleviate this discomfort by wearing clothes i prefer, going in t, hopefully getting a hysterectomy in the future. i am Changing aspects about who i am. which fits with some of the literal meanings of "trans" which is to cross over, move beyond, go to the other side of something. i am altering my body to better fit into a different standard of the human experience. there are innumerable ways to be human, i am simply trying to go from one of those way to another. none of this has much to do with my gender at all. it's related yeah, but what kind of anatomy i have is totallt distinct to the fact that im agender. if i didn't have dysphoria i would not consider myself trans. if i wasn't agender, i wouldn't consider myself nonbinary. these are all many different experiences, which collectively are referred to as gender, and for a lot of people they go hand in hand, so they may not realize they're distinct, but that doesn't mean that for everyone it's all the same. but just because i personally conceptualize gender this way doesn't mean everyone has to. im not going to tell anyone how they feel, bc they are the ultimate authority on their feelings. if u say ur trans, then okay, that's all i need to know. u are welcome in this community.
