"But saying you read slash over other stuff bc you want dick4dick is bioessentialist rhetoric bc of the implication that it is unique to slash and bc it ignores a lot of fandom." Idk but why can't you say that? If I say "I read slash over other stuff bc I want dick4dick" it can still be very much true that slash has more dick4dick per 100 stories, compared to other spaces, fandom or what have you, but that doesn't mean there's exclusively penis in all slash. Hell, even without the trans aspect, there's tons of genderbending slash to either M/F or even F/F which has been a staple for years, and where you're get PIV, or Pussy4Pussy,

I think your biggest problem is that you're kinda combining random intentions or commentary, then drawing farfetched conclusions, because you don't agree with it, or have some other issues.

Here's what I got from your first paragraph: "I read slash bc I like d4d" = "implies the claim that d4d is exclusive to slash" which is therefore "bioessentialism" Didn't know where to put the "ignores a lot of fandom." I'm also not sure how it actually ignores other fandom. All of that making basically no sense because it could just as much imply that d4d just more likely, or has a larger presence and community in slash parts of fandom. "I don't even have a problem with "I read slash bc there tends to be more dicks there." It is the idea that implying it is unique to slash I find bioessentialist and not reflective of modern fandom." Yeah but that is incredibly nit picky if your entire problem is between the wording of "I read slash over other stuff bc it has d4d" versus "I read slash bc there /tends to be more/ dick there." There's no particular implication in either statement. You seem to have basically decided that one of them implies something you don't like, and the other is more accpetable because you think so. All based on your own preference on how you'd want it phrased.

Certain fandoms and spaces are going to be assumed to have more of some content, that doesn't mean that's exclusively what's going to be available, or that only a certain demographic is gonna write/draw it or consume it either. It also doesn't mean that going in with a pretty clear interest in a certain kind of dynamic makes you a bio-essentialist, or implies the fandom is bio-essentialist. At most it'll just tell us what the biggest category of creators and consumers might end up being, you know, as makes sense. People want certain things, so they'll flock to where most of that specific art is going to be posted and spread. Nowhere in slash is there a claim to how much d4d there is, only that there's more than you might find when compared to other fandom spaces where slash isn't as common. So it could simply be 50% d4d and "everything else." or even 99% d4d and "everything else". Like if I want d4d, I'm probably not gonna specifically go to an Ecchi fandom to get d4d. It might still have some d4d for various reasons, -Futa can be popular with some ecchi, so you might get Futa4regular girl, but I just won't assume I'll get a lot of d4d as is, especially not with male characters of any type. Is that bioessentialism because I assume based on the fandom and spaces what I'll see most of is big boobed female characters? Or is that just a logical conclusion based on who Ecchi panders to, and what the people in those fandoms have set as a precedence with their fandom behaviour? So from there we could also say that the slash fandoms are simply gonna have more of a certain type of content because that's what the fandom space prefers or has built to be expected.

How do you think (according to transmasc Killer hc), Killer had crush on Victoria because he wanted to look more masculine or he's just bi/pan?

Also, Kid had crush on Vic to support his friend or he actually liked her?

!NSFW!

What are kidkiller's favourite poses? (Both original and genderbend)

Thanks for your answers ❤️

Good q!

I think he did have an actual crush but was also somewhat jealous of a girl who was rough and rowdy and a little terror but also still felt like a girl. I also don’t think he had any way to verbalize or comprehend this which was probably frustrating as all hell. I also think crushes you get as a little kid are mostly admiration which I’m sure he felt plenty of!

I also think Kid was smitten as well. Maybe a little influenced by Killer and wanted to be like UM, YEAH, I ALSO HAVE A CRUSH. I think if either of them would fake/not realize they’re faking a crush it’d be Kid esp when he was younger, but like I said childhood crushes are inherently a little silly and not the same as being older and getting a little infatuated w someone.

As for the second part, their favorite positions are whatever’s easiest for me to draw.

i've seen some FATE genderbend tierlists. and i've heard it explained as that S-tier and not genderbend are nearly interchangeable. BTW no neither okita nor Nagao are S-tier, they're usually B-tier, but ibaraki is usually in the S-tier. blah blah blah. personally my favorite genderbends are the 1s that could work, or're really nifty

I like most of them tbh, AND ALSO, there aren't as many as one would think

Like fate is "known" for this trope of making historical men into women but like, compared to the overall number of figures who kept their historical gender(?) , its not that many?

Putting a read more because i just start going into the ones i remember and sht, ALSO ITS MESSY AS HELL BECAUSE IM TYPING AS I REMEMBER and i make a lot of clarifications because i like to overexplain myself!

And ANOTHER clarifications are

1. This is all written from what i personally remember and interpreted from the source materials

2. Me saying this isn't stopping anyone from continuing to Headcanon something different

Some of them are like "yeah i was a woman all along who enjoyed the privileges of a man's life while still being a woman but ig people didnt like that so they recorded me in history as a man" (iirc francis drake is this one, so is yoshitsune)

The "i was a woman but i faked being a man my entire life to be allowed to be (a king or a samurai)" (okita** and arturia, one of those two had way more issues with that than the other. And its actually important to the way the lore was written and focused that Arturia was born female lmao because uther rejected her at birth because she was a girl and merlin was the one who convinced him "hey we can still put the dragon blood on her and just raise her as a man yknow" and then uther accepted but then died because his daughter was a daughter (that last part was a joke but theres so many men like that in modern time irl too so :/ the whole plot overall is very genderqueer still i wont deny it) (and then theres Okita who also kinda needed to do it but it feels like it was way less like, necessary for hee to do that, so its easy for people to hc okita as trans (i dont personally but that hc has some Great fics))

** I ALSO HAVE TO SAY THAT i dont remember if they actually ALSO retconned that and okita was just Trested as a man because of gender roles but never Actually bothered or cared to say "im a girl actually" even Now, she gets refered to as "okita-kun" or "okita-san" which are (kun specifically?) more masculine honorifics

Saito gets called with the "-chan" honorific sometimes, iirc

These two existing might confuse people on "wait if ushi was allowed to be a woman and do all the things why wasnt okita" and that's probably because misogyny strikes at any time in history yknow? Probably by ushi's time, they didn't care that much or because it was incredibly war time, they could Afford to care. Meanwhile, okita would have had a harder time because it was less violent times so roles were starting to set into more "men have the violent jobs and women stay inside"

Or "i was in fact a man but i always identified more as nonbinary or as a woman" (iirc nero?? At Least at the start of her lore it was like that. Idk if they retconned it to being similar as the first tho. And ofc trans icon leonardo da vinci)

Im not mentioning all of them because im too lazy rn (or am i... i mostly dont remember)

Jing Ke iirc was also interesting, but i CANNOT for the life of me remember what was her deal

And then there's Sugitani Zenjūbō who was a man but then (Kashin Koji???) Turned them into a woman literally just for fun ??

Actually will add im not sure if Kashin Koji and Sen no Rikyu are or not genderbends

Bringing it back to Arthuriana for this but its funny Gareth was Also a woman the whole time but she Had to fake it if she wanted ti be accepted as a knight UNTIL she participated in that joust and thats when she revealed "ACTUALLY im a GIRL I WAS FAKING THE WHOLE TIME" and King Arthur who is also faking to be a man starts sweating profusely but accepts her and declares her a knight still even tho she was a woman because at least she can do that. The king wasn't allowed to be a woman still, tho, unfortunately."

Jacques, who we know was a man, but the eldritch god transitioned her good for her she refuses to talk about it, tho

Oda Nobunaga, who either was 1. Always a woman and history recorded her as a man because she enjoyed the privileges of a man's life (which is also similar to Yoshitsune/Ushiwakamaru's case), or 2. Literally from a different parallel universe where she was always a woman and the worlds are so similar that she never realized

Musashi we know is from an alternate universe as well

Raikou is also verily implied to be a trans woman in some dialogues but in others is the "i had to be pretend to be a man to enjoy the things i wanted to enjoy" (which also just sounds trans but still, you know what i mean) (i love the hc of Raikou being trans and you will take it from me only when i am Dead, and even Then)

Frankenstein's Monster, who was just built as a woman iirc

Xu Fu literally just a woman now, no changes in the lore to try and explain or anything at all, incredibly gay woman at that too. Love that they make it explicit that she is in Love with Yu Mei Ren and yes it IS romantic. Im gonna go cry again btw

Pollux who funnily enough is just (probably accidental Or Probably not) implied to be trans because she and Castor are identical twins and we know identical twins cannot be different sexes (that OR Castor is the trans one)

Quetzalcoatl who is a genderless god (usually regarded as male) who chose a vessel that happened to be a woman and is living her best life

Kukulkan i Assume is the same case as Quetz

Kiichi Hougen is treated as a woman rn because their current body is female, BUT when they met yoshitsune, they were using a male form. They are agender, tho, btw, not a woman.

Some people might wonder why arent there any genderbends of Female historical figures Into Men in Fate and to that i will point to hundreds of years of history that bury female and queer accomplishments and history by pretending they were all men becsuse "no way a woman could do this"

JUST like Fate plays into with some of the genderbends (like i said, Francis Drake or Ushiwakamaru)

So if they did that it would just, be normal misogynistic history ? Good old "no way women are as competent as a man"

Anyway

Thats all

------------ Character/s: Chuuya Nakahara Prompt: "What the fuck.. I AM A GIRL!??!?!" Headcanon: Genderbend au + male (Y/n) Small note: I am writing a lot hah.. maybe that's because of the number of stories I am reading but-.. eh who cares this is just a lil self-indulgence hc for me but do enjoy it as well little doves~ ^ ------------- Early Yokohama mornings were always a certain (h/c) male's favorite time of day. Though of course he somehow always finds himself sleepy.. or just groggy in some mornings. But!! That doesn't mean he dislikes this time of day, uh uh he loves it actually. Mostly because there are only a few people up this early.. and because of the sunset. (And definitely not because of the fact he doesn't have to see his Executive co-worker oh no.. yeah no definitely not.) Right now, the male was just enjoying the sunset.. leaning on the railing of the bridge he was on whilst he was sipping on his morning coffee. Despite being an executive in the Port mafia for.. a good while now, the male's tradition had never changed whenever it came to morning walks.. and morning sunset watching. Unfortunately, it seemed someone has decided to go on ahead and ruin the rest of his scenery watching as the soft vibration of his phone could be felt through the pocket of his pants. Sighing softly.. the male took a quick swig of his coffee before placing the cup down on the flat railing he was leaning on. ------ And no, like described the railing was flat so.. it had a stable and wide enough surface to hold the cup.. yeah no this is too much information back to the phone. ----- Checking the caller ID, the male was honestly shocked to see who it was... ……ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ…… ᴍʀ. ꜰᴀɴᴄʏ ʜᴀᴛ ……ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ…… What in the- since when did that ginger ever need to call him..? Oh well, might as well get this done ad over with so he could continue to watch the scenery in front of his person. Swiping on the screen to accept the call, the phone was pressed upon the (h/c) male's ear as he asked what his partner wanted. "Hello-" "GET YOUR ASS TO HQ RIGHT NOW (Y/N) (L/N)!!!!" Blinking, the male paused.. that voice.. this wasn't Chuuya, who was this? And why the hell did they have Chuuya's phone. He wasn't drunk, he knew that.. so why did he hear a soft, velvet girl voice on the other end of this call- which came from Chuuya.. the number and all was his as well. "I am sorry but who are you? And why do you have Chuuya's phone-?" "I AM CHUUYA ASSHOLE, JUST GET BACK TO HQ RIGHT NOW!! BOSS'S ORDERS.... ANE-SAN'S ORDERS TOO." After another loud response from this.. person who says they're Chuuya. The call ended with a beep, leaving the man who's named (Y/n) (L/n).. merely staring at his phone confused, shocked, and.. curious. Why Curious? Well, seeing as whoever he just talked to now acted so much like Chuuya.. of course, he'd be curious to know why- to put it shortly- they sounded like a girl. "Ah.. what trouble did he get himself into now I wonder.. well.. only one way to find out I suppose." Snatching his coffee that was peacefully situated on the railing, (Y/n) glanced at the scenery one last time before he started his walk to the Port mafia HQ. ----------

𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐀𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐮𝐬

𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 (𝐘/𝐧) (𝐋/𝐧)

---------- Arrived at HQ in 20 minutes or so, seeing as the place he'd usually go to watch the scenery was.. not that far from where HQ was at. That or it was because he walked quickly, uh, either way, he arrived as per requested by the Chuuya that called him. Entering the building, the male had both of his hands stuffed in his coat's pockets seeing as it was cold in Yokohama yet again. The executive had given a few waves and good mornings to the staff that he had happened to walk by. The guards were the most to greet him since they were.. everywhere but again his main focus was getting to the boss's office. Where three people were waiting for him, the person who said they were Chuuya, Ane-san, and Mori-san. It was quite a surprise to see two of the biggest people in the mafia were also here to attend to such a thing but.. whatever it was it definitely had something to do with the fact Chuuya sounded like a girl. ----- Arriving at the boss's office, (Y/n) knocked on the large doors and waited for permission to enter the room. Once he heard the familiar, 'Come in' he entered and closed the door shut behind him. Before turning around to.. quite the sight really, there was Mori sitting down behind his desk as usual. Ane-san or Koyo-san as other people call her was there next to a.. girl who was wearing what Chuuya would wear.. although they themselves looked a lot like Chuuya. Another thing to note down is when their eyes set on him, they had suddenly shouted: 'THERE YOU ARE BASTARD!' which was.. a very Chuuya thing to say. Still, he wondered.. what happens if this female was actually Chuuya?.. Well, time to find out he supposed. Walking towards the trio, he bowed his head down as respect to his superiors before he smiled at them all. Greeting them a good morning. "Good morning, Mori-san, Ane-san.. and.. Chuuya?" Glancing at the ginger in question, he wasn't entirely shocked to suddenly get shouted at by the way he questioned the name Chuuya in front of them.. or her? "CHUUYA?!?!? WHY'D YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT, I AM CHUUYA IDIOT!" Raising his hands up in surrender he sighed and glanced at his boss and older sister figure, asking why Chuuya had suddenly.. in short- turned into a female. "Well, that's the thing (Y/n)-kun, we have no idea really... but! The reason Chuuya here has called you is that I'll be assigning you to look after her while she's like this." (Y/n) could only stare at his Boss, his eyes showing that he wasn't particularly fond of the idea.. but then again when has he ever wanted to take care of this ginger? Especially not now when they were a female, they'd be 10 times as moodier than they were when they were still a guy. "Why me..?" This a helpless question that the male needs answered, but knowing Mori-san he'd have no choice either way.. but he might as well try to get an answer from them. Getting a mere chuckle from the boss, they suddenly glanced at Koyo-san.. making the executive follow their gaze. "Well, Ane-san..? Are you going to answer my question or not.." Again, getting a chuckle in return.. though this time there was an answer afterward. "Simple, it's because you both are 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 (Y/n)-kun~" ------- And that's how he got into the situation he was in right now, with his co-worker in his apartment.. laying down on his couch after their recent mission. Honestly, everything that had happened yesterday was definitely quite a shock to the male but.. he got used to it, besides.. since when did anything normal happen in the Port mafia? "Oi!! (Y/n), can you get me a glass of water? And hurry up!" Sighing.. (Y/n) glanced at the ginger-haired female, now sitting on his couch.. staring at him waiting for him to obey their orders. "You have legs, use them Chuuya. When I agreed to take care of you.. I didn't mean you can make me into your personal butler.. let alone live with me but here we are."

Glaring at them as he practically growled his words out the executive blinked surprised when he just got a chuckle and smirk back in return to his words.

And before he knew it he had suddenly found himself on the couch, Chuuya above him pinning him down with their ability from the way their person was outlined by a red glow.

"Hah! You seriously thought I'd let that slide... nope. Just because I am stuck in this fucking body of mine doesn't mean I won't kick your ass. And like you said, you're supposed to take care of me. So go on, get me a glass of fucking water (L/n)."

Chin getting grabbed by the female's gloved hand, (Y/n) just glared at them shoving them off of him gently before he stood up to get them the damn water they wanted.

----

Arriving back with a cool glass of water he handed it over to them, whilst he was away getting water though he had calmed down.. a bit.

So that's good, besides he shouldn't pick a fight with them.. especially not when they were in a female body. It wasn't that he found them weaker now that they were a female, it's just.. he was assigned to take care of them so.. he'll have to follow orders.

"Here you go.." 'brat'

Mentally calling them a brat felt good, despite it being mental..

Once they grabbed the glass of water, he sat down a good meter or so away from them leaning back to finally relax after the recent mission they finished.

Nothing too hard, but it was as draining as any other mission he's taken on.

His eyes closed themselves as he let out a soft exhale.. listening in to what Chuuya was doing, though he already had a feeling they were done drinking the water- since he heard a 'clink' coming from the coffee table.

Signaling that she had placed the glass down.

But.. with what the female decided to do next- hah that definitely shocked him to his core.

Because one second he heard shuffles to his side.. before he felt someone jump onto his lap and wrap their hands around his neck.

Making his eyes snap open only to see blue ones staring back at him.. sighing he tilted his head to the side and asked what Chuuta wanted.

"Nothing.. I just wanted to pay you back for.. the water..? Actually no, I just wanted to return the favor is all. I can tell you're drained from the mission earlier so.. maybe a massage would help.."

A pause.. before they continued. With a shout.

"BUT! Don't think I am doing this cause I am concerned for your well being of course! I am just doing it 'cause we're partners.. and we need to help each other out."

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Once again, this was how he found himself in yet another situation.. laying on his stomach whilst Chuuya was sitting on his back.. giving him a massage.

Not that he minded, it was just a shock he supposed.. either way, he definitely preferred them this way. Not because of the fact they were female no, it was because they seemed a lot more tolerable like this.. sometimes.

Grunting, once the female massaged over a particularly hard muscle on his back he sighed once they had gently massaged over that spot.

"Better....?"

"Mhg.. better."

-----

And that's how the pair spent the rest of their day.. after the massage. They went ahead and cooked up dinner, and greeted each other goodnight before entering their own rooms.. Chuuya using the guest room of (Y/n)'s apartment.

Now.. how long Chuuya may stay as a female.. they had no idea but, it didn't seem like it was going to be much of a problem thankfully.

----

Now.. before (Y/n), Mori, and Koyo found out Chuuya was a female.. hah.. this was how Chuuya found out himself- or herself now.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The executive had just gotten up to go on ahead and get a shower.. still half-asleep and not noticing how much shorter they seemed.. the only thing heard after they had entered their bathroom and faced the mirror though was this..

"WHAT THE FUCK-!!?!??! I AM A GIRL!!!?! WHY DO I LOOK LIKE A GIRL!!!!??-"

[bluberimufim]

Hi! I saw your tags on a recent post about the great genderbending, and I have to ask: WHY? What prompted such a big change? (If you don't mind sharing)

Oh yeah it's no problem! I never even explained it here

Basically, as of September, all 3 of my WIPs had male protagonists. And I realized I reeeeally wanted a female protagonist (I'd had a WIP with one before but I never finished it).

I couldn't change Darius's gender because B&W is in its 3rd draft and also it would imply changing the gender of 2 other characters for it to still be gay. In the case of the Dystopia WIP, I really liked the protagonist's name and wanted to keep it bc "Cristover" sounds cool as hell.

So, it left "Devourer of Souls" for genderbending (no, I did not think of making a new WIP). It has a very small cast and it set off a chain reaction that ended in everyone getting genderbent except for Theo's brother. Because if Seth is a girl, Theo must also be a girl or their qpr wouldn't read as strongly bc people would go "omg straight couple". If Theo is a girl, Jane (previously Jack) must also be a girl because she's a clone of Theo. If they are both girls, the Goddess of Time must be one too because she makes her children in her image, which means all 3 goddesses got genderbent too. Flick is already a boy and a girl simultaneously, so they remained the same. Asha and Dora popped up later.

My original idea was that having a man (Seth) as a healer would be kinda subversive of how we usually associate certain fantasy roles with genders. He was a soft cottagecore boy. But then I realized: wouldn't it be more fun if all the healers were women, as one would expect, and Seth absolutely hated it? Instead of being nice, she became the angry, cynical, and lowkey obsessive protagonist we've come to know and love! Because angry women are very cool!

Anyway, sorry for the rant. But yeah, that's the gist of it.

PRESENTING: a masterlist of themed names, pronouns, and genders for baikinman from soreike! anpanman (will add more genders once tumblr stops being fucky wucky)

NAMES:

-Riot: Pronounced "RYE-ott", this English word name with unisex potential means "violent civil disorder", which Baikinman likes to cause kid friendly versions of within Soreike! Anpanman with his robots.

-Xenna: Pronounced "ZEN-nah", this invented girl's name made up for the "Invent-A-Name" contest on NameBerry refers to Planet X, which alludes Baikinman's origins being beyond the Earth.

-Royal: Pronounced "ROY-all", this unisex English word name means "royal", and often has connotations of bratty Gen Alpha kids, befitting Baikinman's both internal persona of the "King of Bacteria" and his externally bratty, childish behavior for a grown man.

-Loki: Pronounced "LOW-key", this unisex Norse mythological name literally means "lock" and refers to the shapeshifting, genderbending god of trickery and mischief in Norse mythology, which fits Baikinman's mischievous, goofy nature and would be suitable for a genderfluid Baikinman kin who wants a name that alludes to Baikinman's mischief making.

-Lucifer: Pronounced "LOO-si-furr", this Latin name means "lightbearer" or "lightbringer" and refers to the Biblical archangel often cast into hell that's conflated with Satan, especially in Paradise Lost. This is a name befitting of both how evil Baikinman THINKS he is, and the meaning fits Baikinman in many movies as well; despite his occasionally rather low opinion of himself and view of himself as inherently evil (by destiny to be Anpanman's rival, of course), he still is able to bring light to others, and to show light to other people through friendship and kindness.

-Messiah: Pronounced "meh-SAI-yah", this Aramaic word name means "expected savior or deliverer", and was a common epithet for Jesus Christ in the Bible. Of course, Baikinman would call himself this for two reasons: one, because he's blasphemous on purpose and HE doesn't RESPECT NO GODS OVER HIMSELF, THE GOD OF MEANINESS thank you, and two, because he wants to proclaim himself THE DARK MESSIAH OF MISCHIEF AND MEANINESS AND BACTERIA HAHAHANOHA. Yeah, Baikinman is edgy AND extra like that. There IS a recent movie coming out where Baikinman IS a straightforward Messiah of a fairy tale book, and learns to be nicer, but given cartoon continuity, I don't know how far that'll stick.

-Lilith: Pronounced "LILL-ith", this Assyrian and Sumerian name means "ghost" or "night monster" and is associated with the Biblical Lilith, Adam's first wife who refused to lie down and submit to a man. Not only is the name appropriate because Baikinman isn't gonna submit or lie down for ANYONE (except maybe Dokeen because she's scary when she's mad), but Baikinman's resemblance to a black and purple colored devil makes a name meaning "ghost" or "night monster" fitting.

PRONOUNS: (don't worry, you're not gonna get my Important Literary Analysis of Baikinman anymore)

He/him/his/himself, She/her/hers/herself, They/them/theirs/themselves, It/it/its/itself, Vil/lai/ans/anself, E/vil/vils/vilself, Ha/ha/nos/haself, Thon/thon/thons/thonself, Vi/vir/virs/virself, Fae/faer/faers/faerself, Ai/ain/aires/aiself, Ai/ain/aines/ainself, Bee/bee/beets/beetleself, Bai/kin/mans/manself, Boo/boo/boos/booself, Bog/bog/bogs/bogself, Ecto/ecto/ects/ectoself, Giga/giga/gigas/gigaself, Mechie/mechien/mechs/mechself, Spide/spide/spides/spiderself, Voi/void/voids/voidself

GENDERS:

Alienmav: A gender that is an interpretation of maverique from a nonhuman perspective. May or may not like to fit into maverique or adopt maverique, but in a sort of "alien trying out a foreign species' gender" way.

Astralgender: A gender connected to space.

Bacteriagender: A gender that feels like bacteria; it's constantly multiplying in a nonspecific, often copied and pasted over each other way, to the point that your gender or genders are filling your bloodstream.

Boggender: A gender that feels like, or can be compared to, a bog, swamp, marsh, or similar.

Caelgender: A gender which shares qualities with outer space or has the aesthetics of space, stars, nebulae, etc.

Egogender: A gender that is solely based on yourself, and no words seem to define it other than me-gender, namegender, I'm just who i am and my gender is mine.

Pyrogender: A gender that feels like fire; pyrogender holds a much stronger connection with fire than firegender. Not just the movement of the fire (as firegender), but also the heat of the fire (excitement/happiness about the gender) and consumption of fuel to keep it burning (eating up other genders to keep the main one going, in a way).

Snippet of “Awake” - First Chapter of “Divergence”

Hey, all! Wanted to share a snippet of the first chapter (”Awake”) of “Divergence” - a fic that will offshoot from “Heavy Metal Lover.” Note that this is basically a whole spoiler for chapter 20 of “Heavy Metal Lover.” If you’re like me and see random stuff saying “Don’t click if you haven’t read...” and click anyway: Hi! Welcome, chaos lover. If you like this and want to know the context, please feel free to check out the full work on AO3.

“Divergence” should be posted within two weeks and will be open to requests for the reader (”Lucky”) to have different experiences than what she has in the original. This can mean the following:

- AUs

- Re-tellings of certain scenes of the original

- Reader-specific details included in old or new/original scenes (i.e., reader is plus sized, skinny, tall, short, etc.)

- Genderbending of any of the characters

Originally made this Tumblr to share snippets of the stories on...so happy that I could finally do that! If you want to skip writing that was in the story, you can start at “Though sleep pulled at your eyelids...”

Story contains mature elements, swearing, and explicit mention of sex. Please be forewarned.

Looking back, it would only be a wonder that it did not occur sooner.

As soon as you were alone in the bedroom, you took off your shoes and eyed the clothes Heisenberg had provided you from the factory...

...before turning to the tub.

Couldn't hurt to bathe. Love to be clean. 

That man is coming back up to this bedroom.

This is the point, self.

The logical side of your brain, for once, remained quiet. 

Though you had clearly lost all sense of sensibility, you at least moved the divider to completely block the tub from any but the most determined of views. 

The water had been scalding when you got in.

By the time you had bathed and decided that your foolishness had reached its limit, it was stark cold.

"This was stupid," you said. "Fucking stupid. What did I want? Him to join me? This is the universe saying 'Wake the fuck up.'"

Though your fingers were pruned, you dried yourself off and pulled a nightgown from the small cupboard beneath the sink.

Sheer as ever. Fuck's sake. The universe had truly saved you.

Until it hadn't.

Heisenberg rushed into the room like a rocket and you jumped as the door slammed close.

"...you here, Luck?"

"Yeah," you called out. "Um...don't come over here...gotta get dressed real quick."

"...k" called Heisenberg.

Wasting no time, you slid the gown over your body and made sure to fan out the edges as far as they would go. 

You needed no mirror to see your nipples proudly displayed through the fabric.

Mouthing a 'fuck' for good measure, you frowned.

"Heisenberg?"

"Yes?"

"Do you...do you mind looking away for a second?"

"From you?"

"Yes."

"...are...are you coming out naked?"

"No," you snapped.

An awkward silence greeted you.

"Heisenberg?"

"Huh?"

"You looking away?"

"Oh. Yeah. You're good now."

Peeking from behind the divider, you only saw Heisenberg's back. 

With more speed than you were familiar with, you bolted to the bed and ducked under the covers.

Once secure beneath the pillowy softness, you breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay. It’s safe."

You did not miss how Heisenberg whirled around.

"Oh...fuck...that was fast."

"Yeah," you said absently.

"Trying to set a fucking record?"

"Something like that."

"Mmn. I...gotta get changed."

"Okay."

The two of you stared at the other.

"You trying to get a free show or you gonna cover those peepers?"

"...I figured you would go behind the divider."

"The divider is on your side of the bed."

"Oh," you said dumbly. "Oh. Yeah...wait."

Yanking the pillow from underneath your head, you smashed it onto your face above your mouth and pressed down.

Heisenberg chuckled. "Dramatic as hell."

"Doing what you asked of me."

"...didn't formally ask you to...did I?"

Swallowing found your throat on fire.

"Mmn."

"What was that?"

"Mmn," you repeated.

"Heh...don't go into public speaking, kid."

You frowned at the ceiling and the darkness of your eyes. 

Instead of speaking, Heisenberg decided to tell you he was done by climbing in the bed beside you. It struck you suddenly that lamps had been placed in the room instead of the candles that the castle was so beset with. But when you removed your pillow, you found yourself met by more muted darkness.

"Sure you okay with this?" asked Heisenberg. "I can fuck off and go into another room. I like to bitch like a drama king, but I don't need anything crazy set up for me."

"Bed is pretty big," you said carelessly. "S'okay. We've been closer."

The chuckle Heisenberg gave was absolutely filthy.

"We have...haven't we?"

The fucking lilt would be the death of you. What a relief it was to blink blindly and stupidly at the man in peace without judgment. 

"Hey - last time I'm reminding you...what's your one job?"

"Get you out in the morning," you replied.

"Because?"

"Ah...generators...production line...something about a reset..."

"That's my girl. Nighty night, Luck."

"Night, Heis."

A turn. A breath. A feeling that you would never be able to sleep with the man so close that you could feel his body heat radiating from him like a welcome sign. 

But you awoke.

You awoke often.

You awoke in the middle of the night from a dream you could barely recall and all the images of Alcina at the forefront of your mind. 

You awoke in Heisenberg's arms and sobbed into his chest as he clung you to him just as sweetly as any of your snowy imaginings. 

"Fuck you doing awake? No...shh...it's okay...shh...you're alright. I'm here. I've got you."

Though sleep pulled at your eyelids, you nudged your head up to feel the spikes of Heisenberg's scruff. You had to stay awake. Could not return to sleep and Alcina awaiting you with her long talons and even longer legs.

"Nightmare?"

You nodded into his neck. 

"Mmn. Have those myself...think you can go back to sleep? Don't think it's quite time for me to leave yet if you just wanna yak about it or something."

Swallowing, you exhaled. "Don't wanna go back to sleep."

With a grunt, Heisenberg sat up to leave you curled on the sheets.

"Just checking the time..."

When Heisenberg turned to pull something from the floor, you noticed that your eyes had somewhat adjusted to the dark. Enough so that you saw the loose movements of his arms and realized that he had gone to bed without a shirt. 

"Fuck...two in the morning..."

"I'm sorry," you said, tensing. But Heisenberg was mumbling and coming back to you with open arms. "Sorry I woke you..."

"S'alright," he said, yawning afterward. "Gotten less sleep and done more stupid things after than make sure the reset doesn't fuck up the factory..."

As he spoke, you could feel one of his hands rubbing up and down your arm a bit too roughly. An awkward and well intended move to comfort you.

"Still...I'm sorry...you need all the sleep you can manage to get. I don't know how much work the whole factory thing will be..."

"Honestly not much as long as I get back in time," he said, hand squeezing your arm for good measure before returning to that same rough rubbing motion. "Could probably even come back here afterwards...heh...that would spook that sixty-foot snake."

You laughed a sleepy laugh and settled further into his grasp.

"Mmn...like a fucking little bunny...cuddling into me and shit..."

"I can stop...pull away..."

Heisenberg's hand stopped rubbing you in favor of clutching you to him.

"Shh...you're talking nonsense. Need some sleep."

"Heis..."

"Shhh..."

"Heis, you can just tell me that you like it when we cuddle."

When he tsked and laid his chin on your head, you smiled. It felt so much like that day at the stronghold.

"Why would I say that? Not in the business of lying to people."

Lying...yes...because what we are doing now is causing you so much distress...

"Well," you said, smiling. "I'll say it then. I like it when we cuddle. Especially in bed. Feels more comfy than cuddling in front of the lycans."

A shiver - as though Heisenberg had been beset by the cold - ran through his body.

"Oof...y'okay?"

"Yeah, yeah..." he said absently. "Uh...actually...we might wanna go to sleep after all..."

"Mmn?"

"Yeah...early morning..."

"You mind if I hold onto you for a while? This...this actually helps from the nightmare."

The only way you knew how to describe Heisenberg in that moment was jittery. His movements were fine on their own but were conducted with such awkward quickness as to be alarming.

When he did not answer you, you looked up at him through the dark.

"What's wrong?" you asked.

A beat of silence and then another.

"Nothing's wrong." Quick words to match his quick movement.

"Heisenberg..."

"It's Heis."

"...you...Heis...something isn't right. Just talk to me. In English, preferably."

What you could only assume was a curse in German fell from his lips.

"I...fuck's sake, buttercup...I don't know how to...if you...this was such a bad idea...so fucking STUPID."

"What?" You paused, gathering enough evidence from his huff. "Sleeping together?"

"Yes."

"It was your idea."

"I FUCKING KNOW THAT, OKAY?" he hissed. "Just...I thought...earlier...it made more sense...this made more sense..."

"Glad something did because I am completely and utterly confused," you admitted. 

"You're confused? You started flirting with me." Heisenberg grumbled something low and rough. "Fucking gave me ideas...false hope...so I thought...guh I'm such a fucking idiot..."

Hope began to fuel you too. Fuel you and feed into the most terrible of terrific ideas.

"Are you...whatever you're trying to say...I was flirting with you. That wasn't false. Honestly...I was in the bathtub just moments before you came in hoping you would join me."

"...you what now?"

You could not help but laugh. The fact that you could not see Heisenberg's expressive face only added to the hilarity as you imagined a hundred different emotions running through that scarred skin.

"I took a bath...a long one...hoping that you would come up here in the middle of it and offer to join me...figured one thing could lead into another and the bed was here anyway..."

The pauses in between Heisenberg's voice could only endear you to him. He seemed every bit lost for words. 

"You...are you talking about...what are you talking about?"

"Sleeping with you," you supplied with a shrug. "What are you talking about?"

"Sleeping...you...ah...I wasn't...I wasn't mistaken? Shit...I...I may or may not have a fucking stiffy over here...because the cuddling is...something you enjoy so much."

"Oh?" you purred. The chance of escaping in the delights of Heisenberg’s body made your body positively teem with anticipation. But you could not forget your own actions...the last time you had seen him in such a vulnerable state. Losing some confidence, you glanced at the darkness of the bed instead of his body. "Umm...I want to touch you...want to...would it be okay if I touched you?"

"Yeah...course. You've touched me before."

"No...I mean...is it...fuck...can I jack you off?"

For a long while, Heisenberg said nothing.

The next thing you heard was a rattling spit.

"OUCH GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKER!" he whispered.

"What's wrong?"

"Pinched myself."

"You...why are you pinching yourself?"

"Because I'm clearly fucking awake but clearly dreaming at the same time because yes, I would enjoy that very much. Please. And thank you."

"Are...are you sure?"

Heisenberg's hand came down heavy but without malice on your neck.

"OW!"

"Shit...I was trying to grab your hand."

Providing your hand to his, you hitched a breath when he splayed it against his chest. His heartbeat thudded against your palm. Wrenching your knees upward, you brushed against that heated length between his legs.

"I...um...we should probably talk about boundaries before I do this."

"Huh?"

"Is this...are you okay with me just jacking you off?"

"Just? This is a goddamn holiday. Marking it on the calendar. Nothing little about it."

"Dumbass. That's not what I'm saying," you said, scratching his chest somewhat affectionately to show him that you meant no harm. "Do you...are you wanting anything more? Because I'm on my period...I'm up for it...but it might get messy and I know that's the last mess I want a certain someone finding."

"We...we can do more? More like..." You heard him take in a shaky inhale. "Can we...is like full blown intercourse on the table?"

"Sure...long as you don't call it that again," you said, shaking your head.

Grumbling and tensing his shoulders, Heisenberg whined when you dropped your touch to round one of his nipples.

"What the fuck else am I supposed to call it?"

"Sex. Fucking. Making love," you added jokingly. "Um...ah...you know...I hadn't thought about it, but maybe you genuinely didn't know. German to English...or...ah...Romanian to English. Might not have those words."

"I like making love," he said with certainty in his voice. "Let's do that. Make love."

You had expected him to laugh at that suggestion if he acknowledged it at all. But there he was giddy and practically giggling over the most flowery option he was given. 

"Okay...are there any places that you don't like being touched?"

"Not that I know of," he admitted. "Are there...is there somewhere I shouldn't touch you?"

"Not necessarily...just...no going down on me this time. Sex is one thing-"

"Making love."

"-us um...us making love is fine, but I don't want to get eaten out while my period is going on. And don't show me your dick after or comment on the blood...just...get rid of it. Please. And...and nothing too crazy to start out with. I'm not a prude, but don't want to be choked or anything harsh like that. Just...vanilla for our first go. Then we can see where things take us."

"Roger that! Heard loud and clear," he said, leaning his face to kiss your forehead. For all the lack of a relationship, Heisenberg was making you feel far much more mushy and cared for than your ex ever had. You let your hand round his stomach slow and soft in response.

"Thank you. We...if you want to, I'll jack you off for a bit before you grab the condom."

"The...I don't have one of those."

That made you freeze. 

"Not even in this room? Your chambers? If you don't feel like getting up, I can grab them from wherever they are."

Heisenberg went uncharacteristically quiet.

"Heis?"

"None in this room," he said plainly.

"I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable by asking...but...is that typical? You having sex without a condom?"

It worried you. Here you were all too willing to have him fuck you into the mattress while he could be having all sorts of unprotected sex with who knows who in the village. He was attractive - a lord. Anyone with a pair of eyes could easily fall in lust if not love with him. 

Anyone with ears too...fucking sexy ringmaster voice...

"Not typical, no."

"No? Has it just...been a while?"

"Never."

"Huh?"

"Never made love before."

That sent you sitting up in bed.

"WHAT?"

"What?"

"HEISEN..." you lowered your voice, realizing he was growing tense. "You've never...I don't believe you. Quit joking. Not the time."

"Not joking," he grumbled. "Why would I joke about that?"

"You're just..."

"I'm what?"

"You're you," you said as if it clarified anything at all. "You're a lord in a small town. You have a face of a model. Not...not trying to open old wounds, but you're absolutely gorgeous underneath all those layers..."

"Yeah," he snorted. "Fatass McGee will be strutting the runways any day now."

"Oh my god...you're serious." Lying back down, you brought your hand to the clothed length between his legs. He had grown noticeably more soft since the brush of your knee, but you could feel his cock twitch when you cupped him. "So...no one? Not even foreplay or...what about kissing?"

"...ahhh...nah...none of that either...you're probably the first person to see me naked since I was a little kid...well...maybe a few folks in Constantinople. Got sloshed one time and woke up naked tied to a lamppost. But...other than that...all you."

There seemed to be no end to the surprises that would fall from Heisenberg's mouth. You stared at him - or the inky shadow that was him - and ran teasing fingers up his shaft.

"I uhh...fuck...I'm pretty sure anyone who saw me then is dead by now though," he supplied.

"Heis...you're so fucking ridiculous." 

[anonymouslyangsty]

Do you think Taka can sing? I think he’d be good in a musical or something but he’d probably be a lot more dramatic than he needs to be. Theater kid Taka… Mondo would probably be stage crew and work on props, though he’d probably be dragged into the play somehow

Theater kid Taka....

I feel like Taka could be a surprisingly good singer. He’s got a freaking set of LUNGS on him (you can tell because he’s constantly yelling). I don’t think he’d be a naturally good singer, but this man is all about working hard, not natural talent. So I can totally see it.

He’d probably be best with louder, more shouty songs than the quiet, sadder ones. For example, let’s use Heathers. He can TOTALLY do Dead Girl Walking like a KING. 

And since his job is being in character, Taka isn’t opposed to...less ideal behavior on stage. He isn’t going to break character because his role is a morally questionable individual! Since I brought up Heathers, now I’m thinking about Good Boy Taka (tm) singing Blue. He rocks it

I’m sure it’s pretty jarring for anyone who knows Taka, because he gets so into character that he’s unrecognizable. 

And Mondo? I totally see him being a secret theater nerd, especially musicals. So he’s definitely backstage like “hell yeah you’re rocking this role Taka!”. He’s especially excited whenever they get to do a play that isn’t Shakespear or something. He’s definitely the one who gets the school to let them perform Heathers. 

And speaking of Mondo getting dragged in... He just so happens to be ‘’perfect’’ for a role where he plays the love interest to Taka’s character. Nobody can do it but him, yep. It’s not just the other kids seeing how infatuated the two are and trying to get them together. Not at all.

You know Mondo nearly dies when they have to kiss. At least he doesn’t need to pretend to be blushing.

Also, as far as I know, theater is known for not always having enough people to fill in specific roles. So Taka regularly has to play female characters. Taka’s far too confident in his masculinity to be bothered with it. And no, they aren’t going to change the script to genderbend his character. Taka is nothing if not loyal to the original material.

Because My Roommate And I Think We’re Hilarious*

*because it’s True

From a conversation we had like three years ago, I give you: the Iliad/Oddyssey as a college Battle of the Bands.

Roommate - In fact I really wanna write a modern-day AU where Helen will only date the best rocker so it's a giant battle of the bands and Achilles is closeted until he's really spectacularly not

Me - yesssss that is amazing.

Roommate - and Odyessus is MARRIED and doesn't want to BE here fuck you very MUCH, Diomedes.

Me - "look, dude, you're the best drummer we've got we NEED you here. come on, be a wingman."

Roommate - "DUDE WE HAVE A TWO-MONTH-OLD. MY WIFE WILL KILL ME. I WILL KILL ME."

Me - "bro, come ooooooooooon i'll make it up to you."

Roommate - "THERE IS NO MAKE IT UP TO ME" "THERE IS ONLY EXTREMELY JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE" "BRB TEXTING MY WIFE 'SORRY, SWEETHEART, DIOMEDES FUCKING KIDNAPPED ME.'"

Me - XD

Roommate - and then he sits in traffic all night trying to get the fuck home

Me - gets into a fender bender on a deserted back street with a girl who insists they have to do the police accident report thing and swears she called the cops and of course his phone died and they're there for like three hours and he's pretty sure she did not, in fact, call the cops.

Roommate - then his car won't start so he flags down a cab except it's full of fratboys smoking weed and he's pretty sure they're hotboxing him

Me - then they get pulled over and he spends a few hours in the drunk tank trying to convince the lady cop who arrested them that he was not involved, really, he was just hitchhiking.

Roommate - omg yes ends up getting bailed out by a guy and his teenager who overhear him talking about his infant and begging to go home

Me - yes i love it

Roommate - then the guy and his teenage daughter give him a ride home except the assholes from down the street who keep wolf-whistling at his wife are like, barricading the damn street so he has to beat them up before he can finally. get. home.

Me - he is never speaking to diomedes again.

Roommate - once he tells the saga to Penelope he adds "and if I murder Diomedes will you help me get rid of the body"

Me - "babe, you'll only murder him if i don't get there first."

Roommate - Can't decide if Diomedes is like "BRO :(" or "...yeah actually that's fair"

Me - ...yeah, tough call.

Roommate - Achilles suddenly has MORE fangirls now that he's come out, which is not what his mom/manager expected

Me - nope. not at all.

Roommate - Patroclus is a little worried that HE suddenly has fangirls, he is literally not involved in this beyond tagging along after Achilles

Me - hector is just facepalming at this whole thing and wondering why the hell they decided to host the damn thing, now the house is trashed.

Roommate - Their newest pledge was horny on main for Helen, that's why

Me - ...are we going sweet paris or asshole paris? i prefer sweet paris mostly because it's nicer to helen, but

Roommate - Sweet, but uh God love him not bright

Me - so he loses and helen's like "...but i like him. i don't like the asshole president of the other frat's asshole brother."

Roommate - oooh wait better idea

Me - oh?

Roommate - "I don't like the asshole president of the other frat's asshole brother, and sweetie, you're very nice, but you're also VERY dumb. Hector. Your sister. Introduce me."

Me - oooooh nice! WAIT I HAVE ANOTHER OPTION genderbend paris. her sorority sister egged her on into crossdressing and entering the battle

Roommate - OMG EVEN BETTER PERFECT PERFECT So Helen and Paris run off together, Agamemnon and Menelaus get to sulk, Odysseus gets home... eventually, Diomedes gets a lot of nasty emails, and Achilles and Patroclus have a lot of sex and wake up to find out that shippers are a thing.

Me - and hector is left to clean up the mess after these assholes trashed my house not cool guys.

Roommate - 'cause Achilles is like, legit, he's an actual rock star singer, he's just been closeted because his mom made him and now he's like "...I get to smooch my perfect boyfriend on stage and NOT ONLY do they think it's great, they draw cute pictures of my perfect boyfriend? FUCKING SOLD."

Me - yes! perfect i love it

Roommate - Briseis is Patroclus's bestie who Agamemnon kept hitting on at the party and finally she was like 'ugh Achilles beat him up for me' and Achilles is like "BETTER PLAN HOW ABOUT I JUST DON'T SING YOU DICK"

Me - and agamamnon is like "but dude YOU'RE OUR HEADLINER."

Roommate - and Patroclus is like "great now he's holding grudges for you too" and Briseis is like "I am perfectly capable of holding this grudge on my own"

Me - "helen won't date my brother if you don't sing!"

Roommate - "FUCK YOU SHOULDA THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE YOU HIT ON MY PERFECT BOYFRIEND'S BEST FRIEND"

Me - XD

Roommate - "FINE WE'LL MAKE PATROCLUS SING" and Patroclus gets stage fright and Achilles like bounds up and plants one on him and then they just vanish

Me - yesssssssss i love it

Roommate - and Briseis is like "hit on me again and you will not like the consequences"

Samara was used to rotten luck, with a name like hers and her mom burning to death above her crib when she was a baby, how could she possibly be blessed? But she has to admit this is way too much. Even for her.

It's her, his Father's promised vessel. And she was beautiful. But she was his vessel, of course she would be the closest the apes ever got to perfection. And the best part of it all? She was all his.

If you could rewrite Saint Seiya, what would you change about it? (In general. But if you want to talk about specific changes in each work, feel free.)

PS: You're an amazing writer and I love your drawings :)

Awww, thank you! You’ll make me cry T_T

Mh... what would I change about Saint Seiya... this is mostly classic + Hades, plus some other references. 

I’d definitely make it more mythology accurate when it comes to the gods. As much as I love this work, the fact that Athena is portrayed as this perfectly kind and always gentle deity with no huge flaws is awful in my book. It’s fine when you look at her from an anime point of view, because she is with the good guys so she has to be good, but if you’re like me and have a sweet spot for mythology... yeah, it doesn’t sound right. Athena has done some pretty messed up stuff, and I would have loved to see how the Saint Seiya version would tackle the issue.  Same goes for the “villains”. No matter what god it is, they’re always evil, even when they’re not supposed to be. And they always have the same story, just modified a bit. Come on, if you want to put so many villains, at least give them motives and stories that are deeply different. Not just the same soup.  So yeah, this is something I would change 100%.

Another thing I would change is the excessive amount of recognition Seiya receives when he’s around. Protagonist or not, it’s annoying to see that he gets full credit for something he barely helped doing, and this happens way too much.  The work might be called Saint Seiya, but the protagonists are five. Not one. Seiya is not the only one that does stuff, in fact, his friends to the same and even more. This probably is also the reason why I like more the title “Knights of the Zodiac” in all its languages. It’s ridiculous to have different people that achieve the same stuff, but still wanting to have a single protagonist that gets all the credit.  So yeah, that would change to give everyone a fair amount of recognition. 

Something else that pissed me off, and that I would immediately change, is how the story handled the Silver Saints and some fights against the Gold Saints. I get that you need the plot to go on, but if you introduce these warriors as tremendously more powerful than simple Bronze Saints, you don’t just kill them off like they’re nothing.  I’d give the Bronzes more time to figure out ways to win, instead of bullshitting their way through them thanks to plot armor. Most of the Silvers’ deaths were absurd, either too quick or blatantly wanted by the plot.  Get the Bronze injured more, don’t make it seem like the fights are easy, and make them use their brains instead of just their fists, since they’re going against stronger opponents. And, for the Golds... definitely take out Seiya breaking the horn. It’s ridiculous, and it doesn’t have an explanation. It’s literally just plot armor and nothing else. Also, I would rethink the way Shaka acts, for one simple reason: he was there when Pope Ares started mind controlling Aiolia. No way he saw that and thought “oh, this is perfectly normal, a Gold Saint mind controlled by the Pope it’s no big deal, let’s keep trusting him and his judgment”.  I might be going a bit too logical here, but... come on. Shaka is not an idiot. No one would see that and think it’s fine. 

Generally speaking, I would love to see less “everyone but us Saints is inherently evil” and more “everyone is not inherently evil unless proven otherwise”, because seriously.  The majority of the Saints’ enemies are not actually evil. Some are, but the majority of them really just follows orders, and I’m not going to sit here and put the blame on people who are faithful to their leader. It’s the leader’s fault, in most cases, not the warrior. And this has been proven many times, since there’s more than one example of warriors actually understanding the situation and refusing to fight or choosing to die to amend their mistakes.  Reducing that to “everyone but the Saints will never be good” is a trend I’m tired of seeing.  There’s literally Saints that went berserk, but of course you get redemption. All the Saints get redemption, but not anyone else! They’re not Saint! Ok, I’m really salty at that, sorry. I know it’s not always the case. 

Now, some minor details. I hate seeing how useless and skimpy are the Cloths worn by female Saints. It’s armor, is supposed to be a protection, not a sexy outfit. It doesn’t need to cover the entire body, male Saints don’t have that luxury (save for Golds), but my god just give them a normal armor with some normal pants and boots!  It’s warriors we’re talking about, dammit.  Not even Lost Canvas spared me this frustration, with Yuzuriha wearing close to no armor at all, and wearing very impractical clothes for fighting. Same with Saintia Sho, although this time with their clothes. Why do they need skirts? Yeah, they’re all girls, but why skirts????? I feel like a warrior that tries to fight like that, jumping and zooming all around, would not want to wear a skirt. This is not normal fighting, dammit. If it was, I wouldn’t have had problems with it, after all pants were not widely used in the past! But then again I hate how much “skirt targeted” is the world of girl warriors, so I’m definitely biased. Just give them some pants already!

Another detail I would change, now that I think about it, is how female Saints and female character in general are portrayed. In one way or another, they always end up weak, even if they’re strong as hell at first. I can count on one hand the times this downgrade didn’t happen.  One minute they’re strong, the other they’re not anymore, because the plot doesn’t need them to be anymore.  Shaina is a good example of this, going from a fierce warrior to... that, just because she fell in love.  Repeat after me: love is not a sign of weakness, and women who love should not be portrayed as weak.  Same for June, she appeared so badass at first, and the boom! useless. Marin as well, strong at the beginning, forgotten at the end, even though she had a better fate.  Saintia Sho actually is a good example of how female Saints should be, compared to male Saints of the same rank. As much as people can dislike it, Saintia Sho did a better job at portraying female Saints than any other media. And they’re literally trying to sell us more women by genderbending the men of Saint Seiya, just so they don’t have to re-write the ones they already have.  It’s not a difficult change, really. 

This is all I can think about for now. I’m sure I have more things I’d change, but for now this is it. I’m way too tired for my brain to work.

Richie → Regine

- her government name is Regine but everybody just calls her Reggie instead of Richie.

-she doesn't like Edna when they first meet, and for a while after that. She says it's bc Edna's a pouty spoiled brat but at the same time she thinks it's cute. She's a hot mess.

-people get real suprised by how such a young girl talks so dirty.

-huuuuge feminist; it's the 80's after all. And when she gets older and in college, she's a radio host on campus and most of the guys don't like her for discussing their sexist behavior.

-in highschool when the losers start getting hobbies, she joins cheerleading and cheers on Edna. She actually becomes one of the best cheerleaders on the squad because of her rambunctious personality.

-a lot of ppl say that eddie is curvy and Richie is built like a whole 2 by 4 as females but I think Reggie has more boobage and butt than Edna.

-when they return back to derry this bitch dresses like Mrs. Frizzle. Like those crazy ass outfits she used to wear

-Either that or Hawaiian button ups and Jean shorts.

-likes to show titty in her Hawaiian outfits 😎

Eddie → Edna

-she is a spoiled, loud, bossy girl but she doesn't like to hear that she is :(

-reggie calls her Ed and everyone catches on bc they collectively don't like the name Edna

-she's literally Jackie Burkhart.

-basically a doll for Sonia's enjoyment.

-after a year of hanging out with Reggie and the losers she feels a little more free and decides she doesn't wanna be Sonia's perfect little girl anymore. So she chops her hair off to neck length freshman year.

-sonia and her obviously begin bumping heads bc of it.

-she joins Track freshman year and LOVES it. She continues until college. And in college she starts to plays volleyball.

- she chops her hair shorter that it basically becomes a long wavy pixie cut

-everyone at school ends up calling Edna 'boy girl' bc she had short hair. And sort of turning into a stud.

-she's not spoiled anymore in highschool and college and after that, but she is def still bossy

-when they return back to derry, the only clothes she wears are button ups, t-shirts, slacks, and jeans. She doesn't like dresses or skirts anymore.

Beverly → Benny

-everyone eventually gets a crush on Benny, besides Edna (bc she's a lesbian even tho she tries to have on one him)

-all the girls think he's cute but promiscuous bc he only hangs out with like 6 other girls.

-doesn't believe in hitting girls but Henrietta Bowers makes an exception.

-idk why but I feel like Benny and Edna would fake date for a while?? Bc they're kinda the perfect couple in Derry.

-him and Bella are the cutest tho 🤷🏽‍♀️

-y'all,, Benny gets hot when they come back to derry; like it's not fair.

-he can't get over how hotter Bella got either when they come back to derry.

Stanley → Staniel

-EVERYONE is jealous of her hair.

-the most functional loser still.

-wears skirts ALL the time, even when they reunite in derry (oh yeah genderbend means fix it AU too)

-had a crush on Billie and Michelle for the longest time until she met Patrick who she's now happily married to.

-first kiss is with Regina tho

-she also didn't like Edna all that much bc she used to be Regina's best friend and Ed took her place. And bc she was a loud spoiled brat

Mike → Michelle

-she has a top like Tracy Camilla John's in 'she gotta have it'

-also a huge feminist like Regina, so they talk about that a lot.

-she's apart of the choir and her vocals are like Amber Riley's; she's really good. And the losers go to watch.

-definitely has a crush on Billie and still does. They end up dating during their reunion and go to Florida together.

-she never wore skirts but she wore dresses to church and choir. Besides that, she usually wore baggy jeans.

-Edna gets a crush on Michelle bc she's so pretty, intelligent, and strong. She was everything Edna wished she could be.

-she's really good at basketball and golf but never tries out.

Bill → Billie

-Everyone also has a crush on Billie like they do with Benny.

-Georgia (Georgie) is dead still and she's still a complete mess abt it.

-she once confessed to Edna that she's the little sister she got to have after Georgia. So she's really protective of Edna.

-after crushing on Benny for a year or so, and got over it, she realized Michelle was pretty perfect and gets a tiny crush on her.

-oops when they go back to derry she has a huge fucking crush on her now.

-they date and like I say go to Florida after she leaves his husband Aubrey.

Ben → Bella

-she's a really smart girl; all the girls are jealous of her bc she has Benny on her arm and amazing grades. Of course, they pick on her bc of her weight.

-even Pennywise, a fucking clown, picks on her every insecurities and calls her fat.

-but of course there was always Benny that made her feel like she was still beautiful.

-since girls aren't allowed to play football she does volleyball and basketball. It helps her eventually lose some weight in highschool.

-she also starts jogging with Edna in the morning before school. She's amazed how much this little girl can talk while jogging.

-she loses more weight in her adult life and comes back stunning. She was already beautiful but she was glowing.

-she was expecting to become valedictorian but Regina took the title. She was a little bitter but came to terms with it.

-also, her and Benny end up marrying like a year after the reunion.

These r stupid as hell i'm sorry 😭

☺, ♀, ✖ (Happy, Genderbend and Angry) for Sora?

Hell yeah, more asks about my boy

Happy: Sora has never owned a pet before, so whenever he gets to visit Yuya and see all the stray animals Yoko’s taken in, he’s always so overjoyed to get to play with them. He has a lot of fun taking the dogs outside for walks and learning how to get the cats to engage in play, too. He probably cries out of sheer joy when he holds a dog for the first time because he’s never experienced something so nice before. He goes from being pretty unfamiliar with animals to loving being around them so quickly, and he’s always got at least one of Yoko’s strays in his lap when he comes over.

Genderbend: I’ve already got a lot of genderbend Sora content on hand so y e e t As a girl, Sora is just as tiny as her male counterpart, which always leads to people assuming she’s younger than she actually is, much to her ire. She never ends up growing all that much, and people tend to view her as a cute little kid, even if they’re the same age, which inevitably leads to her trying out various things to make herself look taller/older, like wearing heels and makeup to try to look more adult, even though things like that really aren’t her style. When it comes to what she wears, she’s always thought it was more important for her outfit to be functional and comfortable rather than just looking nice, and it isn’t until her late teen years that she sacrifices that out of a desire for people to stop treating her like a kid. This of course only leads to her being miserable when it doesn’t work as intended.

Angry: What makes Sora angry is often being overlooked or not taken seriously. He hates the idea of anyone going easy on him because he wants to fully prove how capable he is at whatever it is he’s doing, be it dueling or otherwise. When he’s mad at someone, he doesn’t hesitate to let them know about it, and he won’t stop being angry until he gets a proper apology from whoever upset him, or until he beats them in a duel and shows them he’s not one to be messed with. In situations where he can’t get either, he usually ends up stress eating while venting to either Yuya or Yuzu about whatever he’s mad about, and that tends to help him calm down.

Genderbend AU: John Lennon and Paula McCartney [McLennon]

“If Paul would have been a woman, John would have been in love with her”  – Yoko Ono (John was in love with Paul, thing is it only would’ve made their love much easier to act on and be public with if, Paul had been a woman)

“Oi, John!” 

John looked up from trying to re-tune his guitar after fixing the busted string, squinting up at Ivan from where he sat, giving him a rather bothered look. 

“Brought a friend of mine.” 

A smaller figure stepped out from behind Ivan; at the first glance all John caught was a dainty little thing, a bird obviously. 

Oh, 

a bird. 

Feet dropping from their relaxed position on the chair opposite of him, John sat straight up, doing a double take, and this time really saw Ivan’s little friend. Well, as best as he could without his specs. 

“John, this is Paula McCartney. Paula, John Lennon,” Ivan introduced the two.

She certainly was a dainty little thing, a lovely, delicate, slender little girl, with long, long legs. Couldn’t stop his eyes from wandering even if he tried. While John didn’t care much for what a girl wore [all that mattered was if he could get it off her quick and easy] he had to admit, the dress this girl had on looked very good on her; white summer dress that hugged her, what looked like a blue ribbon wrapped about her small waist. It contrasted the dark black hair of hers, and to John’s amusement, was tied back in an obviously loose, hurried way– but it worked, very Brigitte Bardot, John thought to himself. 

Then her face, God in heaven, her face– if only he could put his glasses on to see her better. A heart shaped face, with a cute little button nose and the biggest doe-eyes John had ever seen, with the thickest, darkest lashes. Only later when he’d get the courage to put on his glasses around her, would he realize her eyes were hazel.  What put it altogether were a pair of lips that were so pouty, so full– lips that were made for kissing raw. Finally, John met the girls’ gaze, and it was like a jolt of energy had been shot right into his veins, feeling the hair on the back of his neck stand. This girl was beautiful.

John’s tongue suddenly felt thick, heavy and dry like he had a mouth full of cotton instead. Damn Ivan, not warning John what sort of ‘little friend’ he was bringing for John to meet. Trying his best to keep his cool, all John could manage was a simple, Hi Paula, before turning back to his guitar, though at this point he was just fiddling with it, couldn’t focus. Shy, a bit flustered, voice soft as she responded,  “Hullo, John.” When no other pleasantries were exchanged, Paula then turned to Ivan, and reaching out towards the guitar he’d been holding, was passed over to her, along with some small object he’d been holding in one of his pockets for her as well. As if approaching some wild animal, Paula carefully took a step closer to John, catching his attention once more, eyes darting down at the guitar she held tightly in front of her, then darting back up with a curious look now. Worrying at her bottom lip, “D’ya need some help, with that?” 

For a short moment John didn’t respond, just stared at Paula, look turning from curious to surprised, an eyebrow quirking; then, turning away from her back to his guitar, responded with a, “Sure, take a seat.” 

While she tried to hold it back, a small grin broke across her face as she watched John pull the now vacant seat besides him. John himself had to bite the inside of his cheek, hard, to keep his own smile of interest down. 

Seated, she offered her own guitar to him, and he took it as she went to work on his. John watched as her slender fingers fussed with the pegs, before curiously inspecting hers. The strings were the wrong way! “Hey,” John said, catching Paula’s attention. “What’s with your guitar?”  “Oh, I’m left handed,” with that she turned her attention back to tuning, and as she plucked at a string, brought that little object, a guitar tuner, to her lips. “There we go, I- how ‘bout I check the others, while I’m here,” Paul said, glancing over to John as if waiting for any objections, but when John simply gave a curt nod, she smiled and went on ahead. John quietly watched, most of his attention on Paula’s hands, the way she bit at her bottom lip while focused on something; and when John’s eyes would occasionally drift about, he noticed all the other lads were just as curious and watchful as he was. Something akin to jealousy made itself known, which John quickly found stupid. 

“Fancy that,” Though surprised, John found himself much more impressed by this girl. Eyeing all the boys as he went on, “She’s good, don’t know many women who can do this…” Turning to Ivan, John asked as if Paula wasn’t right there, “Can she play as good as she can tune?” Before Paula could say anything herself, Ivan, as if she was his girl to brag about, said, “Oh she can play, John.” Speaking directly to Paula, Ivan urged, “Gotta show ‘im Paulie.” A grin grew across John’s face, playful, all white teeth; “Yeah Paulie,” John drawled out the childish nickname, “Y’should play somethin’ for us.” A pause, “for me.”

With both Ivan and John staring at her now, Ivan predictably, but John… well, he certainly got her cheeks rosy with such a look. Biting the inside of her cheek, her large eyes darted from one boy to the other, before falling on John, a ghost of amusement quirking the edge of her lips. With a soft shrug of her shoulders, she gave only a soft hum as a response before going back to the guitar.

“There,” sitting up straight, a soft smile on her face as she turned to John, offering back his guitar. “Thanks Paula,” John said, gingerly taking his back. “Would’ve taken me ages to do that.” With that he handed her guitar back, which she took along with his smile of gratitude. Despite looking like a true Ted, rough and big with his quiff and sideburns and squint, Paula had to admit, he came off as genuine to her. She’d expected him to be a bit putt off by her, being a girl and all; but no, he was… cool. Since she was being honest, she’d also admit that this John fella wasn’t bad looking– quite good looking, really. Suave, was maybe another one of the many words she’d use to describe John. 

Noticing herself staring, Paula ducked her head, brushing a dark strand of hair behind her ear; turning to Ivan, she handed him the pipe-tuner back to him to hold for her. While she had looked away, Paula could feel that John hadn’t, his stare burning his skin and making her feel bothered [she reasoned why she felt hot was because of how warm it was inside this little church] 

Standing, holding her guitar besides her by the neck, the other hand nervously tugging down at her skirt before reaching up to twiddle with strands of hair; “Well,” she said, tangling her finger, wincing as she pulled it loose. John, simply gazing up at her with that damnable smile, arms resting along the side of his guitar’s body. “Yeah?” John returned, and then with a teasing tone of voice, almost goading, “What does this little bird got?” A challenge. 

John watched with fascinated bemusement as something changed in that pretty face, those eyes burning feisty, he could tell even without his clear vision; and instead of shying back, playing meek, Paula’s shoulders squared. Oh now, this girl certainly was a treat. Without explanation Paula toed out of her simple heeled shoes, and John took note this girl wasn’t wearing nylons… Some of the boys broke out in a whisper, and John looked over at Ivan, expecting him to say something, but all he got was a look like, “Just watch.” So, he did, he watched as she swung her guitar up, cradling it close, and for a moment settle herself down. 

‘What does this little bird got,’ Paula thought to herself with a huff. With one last calming breath, Paula threw herself into exactly what she got.

They watched, rather captivated by this young girl, shamelessly playing out her own renditions of ‘Twenty Flight Rock,’ and ‘Be-Bop-A-Lula’; then a trio of Little Richard tunes, including ‘Tutti-Frutti’, ‘Good Golly, Miss Molly’, and ‘Long Tall Sally’. John took note she’d switched some pronouns around in some of the songs, but it worked– she worked. For such a sweet voice she certainly had some pipes on her, beautiful even, even if it wasn’t exactly expected for women to be able to even do this sorts of music. She swayed and slid with the music, moving in such ways that, for Little Richard and Eddie Cochran could pull off, but would be highly unladylike for someone like Paula. But she went for it, and John was incredibly impressed, almost blown away even, especially with how she played Twenty Flight Rock. Though, John couldn’t help but also feel a bit shown-up by this lass, even threatened. 

When Paula finished, the sound of praise from the other boys, even some of the girls who’d trickled in to chat up those boys, Ivan beaming at her… Paula let out a breathless laugh, flustered and shaking just a bit. When Paula looked to John, a sweet old smile, ruddy cheeked, eyes wide and bright and for a moment John swore he saw kaleidoscopes staring back at him. Whatever envy or insecurity he had started feeling, withered as her eyes held his, and the way she looked at him, coquettish, seemed only for him; “Were you watching?”  At that moment John wasn’t sure if it was the cheap beer that got him buzzing, or if it had been this girl. 

She certainly wasn’t conventional, but neither was John– and coming from a long line of unconventionals, how could he judge her? No, she was talented, and strange, and fascinating, and beautiful– maybe even more than Ms. Bardot herself. Bloody hell, John dug this bird.

John wanted her, and dammit all, he’d have her.

Any chance you could do a Genderbend ML story? I love genderbends!

Well, i tried.

First day of school

Marin was so hoping he would not be stuck in the same class as Cole again. That rich brat has nothing better to do than sneer and belittle him.

But of course, his luck landed him in the same class...again...

To make matters worse, Cole kicked Marin out of his usual seat because his girlfriend was supposed to show up today. Apparently they were childhood friends. Well, if anyone can stay friends with Cole for that long, chances are high that the new girl will be another snooty brat.

On the bright side, Marin makes a new Friend. Allen is a huge superhero fan.

Adrienne had almost made it to school, but was caught by her bodyguard and mother’s manager. Why can’t they just let her live a normal life? You don’t see other models confined to their houses.

Today just wasn’t a good day for everyone, it seems.

Kimberly kept tossing balls of paper at Yvanne. Nobody else but the reckless athlete would dare taunt the Amazonian-tall girl.

Yvanne angrily stood up and stomped towards Kimberly, “I’m going to smash your face into pulp!”

Of course, Yvanne got sent to the principal’s office.

Skip to the whole Stoneheart and discovery of akumas.

Marin finds a cute red bug-thing and promptly freaks out. Once he calms down, he is in doubt that Tikki was sent to the right person. There is no way a clumsy dude like him can fight a supervillain. Maybe the real owner is a girl, who has pierced ears. But Tikki is persistent and it is not like they have other options.

Adrienne is more welcoming. She spends her days watching anime, so she loves the idea of magic. Plus, it’s a chance to leave the house. Bonus!

Mr Bug is not so lucky. He bumps right into Lady Noir. While the lady rushes to the fight, Mr Bug is more hesitant about the danger.

It turns out Lady Noir was so eager to fight, she missed the warnings about using their powers. Looks like it’s up to Mr Bug to save the day...with a suit? What the hell?

Oh well, Mr Bug improvises and tosses his partner into the enemy’s grip.

Lady Noir: this dude is crazy

Mr Bug gets Allen to finish the plan. (Why is he even here? He should be hiding somewhere where it is safe.)

Lady Noir: correction, he’s crazy awesome.

Of course, Mr Bug forgets to purify the akuma and is sunken into depths of guilt. Marin renounces Tikki.

The next day at school, Adrienne finally makes it. She also sees her only Friend prank someone’s seat. Adrienne puts a stop to it but is caught by Marin.

Marin: what are you doing to my chair?

Adrienne: no, this is not what it looks like!

Marin: yeah right! You’re friends with Cole aren’t you?

Marin’s suspicions were proven. Looks like he’s stuck with 2 bullies this year. Great.

Adrienne is depressed, but fortunately Nina believes her and offers a hand of friendship.

Marin cheers Yvanne up and tries to encourage her to go after Milo, a timid and petite boy with bright braids.

Yeah, Yvanne’s confession didn’t work out.

Upset, she is reakumatized once again, and with a whole army at her disposal.

Stoneheart kidnaps Milo and Cole.

Marin tries to pass the earrings to Allen but he forgot his bag!

Lady Noir can’t do this by herself and Allen needs help.

Marin: I guess I have no choice.

Earrings on!

Tikki: I knew you would see sense!

Mr Bug saves Lady Noir and they head to the Eiffel Tower where Stoneheart tosses Cole into the sky. Mr Bug saves the bully. (And now I’m having flashbacks of Flash Thompson being a fan of Peter Parker’s alter ego)

Monarch, the wielder of the butterfly miraculous, appears as a manifestation of butterflies and demands the surrender of the heroes.

Marin: nice try, Monarch. But we all know who the real villain is! People of Paris, let me assure you that Mr Bug and Lady Noir will always be here to save you. And we will not stop until Monarch has been brought to justice!

Lady Noir: wow, whoever he is, I love that boy.

Cue battle sequence.

Marin, gesturing to Milo and Yvanne: they make a pretty cute couple

Adrienne, leaning forward: what about us?

Marin smoothly pushes his partner away with a finger on the forehead. “Oh gee, look at the time, gotta jet before we change back!”

Back at school, Marin finally stands up to Cole. “Take your attitude and take a hike, Cole!”

And Adrienne finally tells Marin what really happened yesterday.

Adrienne: I’ve never had friends before. This is all sort of new for me.

Then shyly, she extends the hand with the umbrella towards Marin.

Marin looks at the umbrella, then at the new girl with a hopeful and kind smile on her face.

Hesitantly, Marin accepts the umbrella, only for it to snap closed around his head.

Unable to help herself, Adrienne laughs. Marin joins in, too.

Adrienne: see you around?

Marin calls after her: Yup! See you today! I mean tomorrow! And why am I stuttering?

Tikki: I have an idea

Plagg: sigh, your first day of school and you’ve already got yourself a boyfriend.

Adrienne: don’t be silly Plagg, he’s just a Friend. (Gasp!) a Friend.

Plagg: yeah...you do realize he’s wearing earrings right?

Adrienne: so? Boys can have pierced ears too, Plagg. This is the modern world.

Plagg: but does every boy have, and I quote, raven black hair and sapphire eyes?

Adrienne paused and hastily turned around. But Marin was already walking away. And the umbrella was blocking the outline of his shoulders.

Weeks later, Mr Bug had started a trend of guys wearing ear studs. Marin claimed to be one of the first trendsetters but Adrienne knew better and her cheesy pick-up lines kind of removed Marin’s stutter. But he did happily accept her invite to join her for a movie date.
