HC that Kinji uses ae/aer (I thought it would be cool if ae used more "traditional" neopronouns)

Ae/Aer/Aem Kinji 🤝 Ey/Eir/Em Ber1

Pronouns that sound the same (to me) but are actually different!

I can't remember if I have Kinji and Kiara friends with Ber1 and Kiw1 or with Yami and Miku. Honestly, those six could be an entire little friend group at this point!

All I do know is that Kinji and Kiara end up becoming friends with Joust as they ended up sneaking into his underground fight ring one day when on a field trip to Vinyl City lol.

I like the idea of Kinji getting aerself and Kiara suspended because of the two of them going into this fight club, but it was more of a ploy for Satoru to have them hang out with Joust some more because they seemed to be having fun with the old guy and learning all about fighting in a less traditional sense.

Love the idea that Joust will one day leave his fight club to Kinji and Kiara! I mean, he's probably in his late 60s/early 70s now, so him running a fight club isn't going to last forever (though he is absolutely in great shape for a 60-70 year old lol).

But yea! Ae/Aer Kinji is something I can get behind! Will probably take me a bit to get used to calling aem that but I'll do my best! :D

I'm sorry but meek mc is soooo adorable, I just can't help but always choose those options. Which is surprising considering I always go for the stoic and emotionless characters.

I’m glad you enjoy Meek!MCs! I try to keep them soft and ‘pure’ (HA) while also trying to make them more insecure than weak.

What’s the difference?

Weak implies that you lack strength. Insecure simply means you may have the strength, but you lack the confidence to do so.

Decided to share my truth to the main blog because it's not extremely nsfw so anyway you all will percieve it

Other than that don't follow my NSFW unless you are prepared to see my crashouts and thirsting to the maximum overdrive (and obviously don't follow if you are a minor) (also especially if you are my sister Sammy don't even look at the blog but look at this post it's good)

Alright screw it, decided to speak my truth, and actually share my opinion/headcanon I had on Hans Gruber and Elliott Marston but on a separate post because it's long and deserves its own post

TL;DR I think Hans and Elliott are homosexuals, atp it's an analysis on film that I started writing at 4 a.m and finished at 6 am after being conked out at 7 p.m due to low blood so you don't have to agree obviously (also did not have to put this on this side blog but I don't need my main followers to see me crashout but if I decide to share it on there that’ll be between me and God)

So I think there can be a few things when it comes to if a character is homosexual

Details within the story

Performance of the actor

The creators' use of narrative devices/personal background thats embedded within the movie

To start off I think I've seen enough Alan Rickman movies to get a feel of how he did his performances and to me there are roles he did where the characters are obviously attracted to women, such as Sheriff of Nottingham, his portrayal of Rasputin and Sinclair Bryant. These three examples have significant parts of the plot, if not the driving force of how these characters are attracted to women.

I point this out because typically, within film, the average audience (at least more likely from an American viewpoint), are likely to assume that a character is straight because it's the 'norm'. American society runs with the idea that heterosexual is the typical and the default, when really this can be considered a headcanon to the viewer unless the creators put within the work that the character outright states or shows how the men like women. Which these three have done.

TO BE FAIR, Elliott Marston and Hans Gruber don't show one way or the other that point to either sexuality so you COULD argue that it still goes either way.

But given within the other points I brought up as well as still the consideration of how the performance plays a part, I think the lack of definite statements adds to the argument that they are homsexuals.

So I will say for AR performance real quick he's clearly showcased he was comfortable in portraying men who weren't fully straight with the prime example (that ive only seen of this tbf), is Dark Harbour. And even though that role came out after these two, there's still the likelihood that he would've been comfortable portraying this type of role in the past. I'll circle back to his performances once I talk more about the other points but just stating this as a heads up.

Even with how there's no concrete/outright showcasing of Hans and Elliott's sexuality, I think there still would have been ample opportunities for the filmmakers to show heterosexuality within the two in some way especially since the late 80s-90s films there's a lot that showcased heterosexuality/heteronormativity.

But there were also films that either intentionally or unintentionally showcased homosexuality. A case could be Top Gun, which idk much about from the filmmakers standpoint but general audiences I think they could see how it was very homoerotic with the dude bros hanging out (my mom who was born in the 60s recognizes the homoeroticness of it) or how Val Kilmer recognized, either as a joke or not i dont know the guy, how homosexual it was. A more definitive case is Joel Schumacher, a gay man that directed The Lost Boys which still had the protag like a girl but included subtext (to me its just text) of homosexuality within the film between the protag and one of the antags. And Batman Forever, which could have a gay reading for the plot, especially for the Riddler.

Related to that, there is a stereotype embedded within a narrative device of making the villians gay, more so to be harmful for an agenda (gay = bad) like making the villian Joker flamboyant to be in contrast of the hero, Batman. And Jokers obsession with Batman. But they are still embedded within the character regardless of the creators original intent (cause now the prime example with Batman and Joker people and creators have recognized this queer (as in odd) relationship and have made it queer (as in gay)).

And I think, as a queer person, I'd like to be able to reclaim that for myself but I know not everyone part of the LGBTQ community would and they don't have to. Also nowadays gay creators have reclaimed this (think like N.D Stevenson creator of Nimona and the new She-Ra) or might have had an input in creating villians, intentionally or not (like there was an assisted character designer for Scar thats a gay animator cant remember his name atm)

But this narrative device could be used to showcase how opposite the antagonist and protagonist are.

In the case for Die Hard, John McClane is a 'family man' (pretty dogshit at it tbh), who loves his wife and kids. At the start of the film he reeks of toxic masculinity, trying to be overbearing, and the movie showcases this 'masculinity' through means such as getting his hands dirty getting into gunfights/fights, being all sweaty and wearing a tank top, a real guys guy for the time of the film but someone you root for so you associate the traits with being good, even when he recognizes these can be faults.

So you have Hans Gruber to serve as a contrast to him. We dont know his relationship status, but nothing points to him being taken. He's refined in his looks, mannerisms, they're calculated. He reads magazines, is into mens fashion, and also has knowledge of american culture like Western films. Things that could be typical for men but again from a narrative standpoint these are traits more in contrast with John (besides the cowboys really but I have a reason as to why I point this out specifically).

These two are shown to be opposite to show the audience who you should be rooting for: The American cop that just wants to have a life of 'normalcy' with his wife and kids and be home for Christmas vs The German criminal, a 'deviant' from society that wants to get rich for Christmas.

When putting into that perspective, it may seem obvious to make one heterosexual and one homosexual and from the time period of the late 80s, guess which one was persecuted for being a 'deviant'.

But sure still nothing concrete, John being a family man was part of the plot it's the whole driving force but for Hans his driving force is to get money why would they need to include him liking a woman when it's not part of it.

Okay then the same thing can said for his brother, Simon Gruber in Die Hard With a Vengeance. They did not need to write his brother with a girlfriend where they include a scene in the ending where she pounces on top of him and they basically rip each other's clothes off. They did not need to include that because Simon at the end of the day is also doing the same thing as his brother, getting rich by Christmas. But they did.

And even at a point of the movie Simon and John recognize how much they hated Hans cause he was an asshole. There's contextual evidence that Simon did not care for his brother most of the time and always try to show how Simon is one upping Hans in his work (going after higher targets, getting twice the amount of money, having his plan nearly work, even having a better american accent with a fully thought out performance), so the way that the story could show that Simon is 'better than Hans' is being openly attracted to women because being a man you are at your best when 'attracted to women' (in the context of the 90s).

So when you have that added context, the case for Hans being homosexual could add up. There is also how Hans interacts with men and women. AR did make it a point for Hans to be respectful towards Holly (we stand a feminist standing on business to show respect to women in fiction and thereby women in real life). And reluctantly him being courteous to the pregnant woman wanting to be comfortable before he was going to blow up the building anyway.

Which again - not enough interactions with women to say his one way or the other, but the interactions he has with men is much more since he's surrounded by them. AND I think those could say enough. Like checking out Takagi's suit, calling John "cowboy," doesn't smile or laugh around his men besides to Theo, who he seems to genuinely enjoy his company. These are deliberate acting choices that could be related to the script, but some I have to raise my eyebrow at (lovingly).

Because taking into consideration of his future roles at the time, like Sheriff of Nottingham, where he improvised the line "and bring a friend" to the woman when saying she needs to be in his room by 10:45. He made the choice to make the Sheriff intensely heterosexual.

So, the same points can be applicable for Elliott Marston. Quigley, an American man who opposes racism who gets the girl in the end, battles against an Australian man who is racist and goes against Quigley. Same narrative structure as Die Hard. At the time of the 90s, if you want people to root for one and oppose the other, just add sexuality into it. When looking at Elliott and his interactions, he barely interacts with the women, which his men do bring to the ranch. But you never see Elliott with any women. The background has some men by some women, but Elliott is by himself without one. He'll banter with his men and has an immediate liking to Quigley and the American culture (which you could argue he just seems him as a tool but bro invites him for dinner and the other men argue about how they are barely shown this kind of treatment. Also, he fully laughs and smiles with Quigley but barely shows a crack of a smile with his men. Like come on.).

There's also the performance AR has for this like he does for Hans, having Elliott be refined and elegant in his mannerisms compared to the brute and rugged nature of Quigley.

So, yeah, that's just my thought. And I say in the previous post that I think I would've gotten jumped (and still might) for this opinion more so cause there's plenty of x Reader fics between these two characters that have the reader be female more so than gender neutral or even male. And many women thirsting over AR in general. Which, nothing wrong with that, obviously, but I fear about the lack of room for discussion that could be have when analyzing these two performances in a queer lens.

AND then you have the more historical context of cowboys being homosexuals. In films, it's more showcased as something associated with heterosexual men, but I think many queer people know or acknowledge that there's evidence for cowboys in the old west to be gay.

This could also add further context of Hans Gruber knowing westerns. John knows westerns in the heterosexual lens (knowing which man rides of into the sunset with a particular woman) while Hans knows westerns in the homosexual lens (easily listing off the men in the westerns).

Anyway, that's it for me. I've crashed out enough on here. I'm going to crash out again by going back to sleep.

Wait wait wait Nimona was trying to build a connection with Gloreth after being rejected by animals and Gloreth was accepting of her despite being a shape-shifter but Nimona was seen as a monster by the village which then made Gloreth switch her opinions because her parents and the village told her that Nimona was a monster and tried to kill her then 1000 years later Ballister ended up building a connection with Ambrosius a descendant of Golreth and after being rejected by the knights throughout his whole life basically since training started young Ambrosius was accepting of him despite being a commoner but then he was seen as a murderer by the town which had made Ambrosius changed his opinion on him because of what he had seen and what the knights/Director were telling him but unlike Gloreth who while was reluctant at first to treat Nimona as a monster but then gave into hating her and wanting her to die like the people around her did Ambrosius had been reluctant throughout the whole ordeal but in the end stayed committed to Ballister because he loved him despite what everyone else was saying about him and its like the movie was already drawing parallels to how Ballister and Nimona were the same and viewed as outcasts/monsters/murderers but there's notable parallels to Gloreth and Ambrosius in how they were people close to Nimona and Ballister and it came to a point where they had to go against them but the key difference in what happened was the side they chose and the aftermath when they were being forced to chose a side and it really showcases how their generations were different thus their mindsets were different in handling the situation and its just exactly like in real life when it comes to queer people like people especially children can be conditioned to hate queer people with enough fear mongering/hate speech and that's exactly what happened with Gloreth in how she ended up treating Nimona and it was going to happen with Ambrosius but a saving grace was that he was much older so it was harder to change his opinions on Ballister that and he is in a different time period than Gloreth showing how things had drastically changed and advanced in many areas and i feel that the whole point with the parallel between Gloreth and Ambrosius is that times have changed and how even though our past generations have treated queer people like they are monsters and that we should hate them when in reality its not too late for our generation to treat them like equals and that we should love them like holy shit this movie is so insanely and unapologetically queer in so many ways that I did not imagine was humanly possible

Andy Drew Age: 15-16 Personality: awkward and shy at first but getting to know him better he’s friendly, optimistic, quirky and protective. Athletic but prefers to be in a band rather then football. Cheer squad was his second option if he wasn’t accepted in the first. Relaxed but can get serious when trouble arises, however, too much pressure makes him withdraw from reality and whatever’s happening in front of him. A soft boy both inside and outside, can’t handle too much stress and just wants everything to be okay.

Fact: - colorblind but will not admit it because he’s scared of what people might think of him. - Has two dads - Had asthma during his childhood - likes toy trains - a bad liar - hella good at tongue twisters and juggling

Dropping off some random facts/thoughts about Peregrine because I don’t talk about her much. (I’ll fix this later cuz I’m on mobile bleh)

Peregrine has a scar on her right ear from having her earring ripped from it. Her ex partner did it to scare her to submission. Unfortunately for him it didn’t work and he got a good beating after (from her).

(Updating on the family thing) she has two younger and older brothers and twins, they’re the youngest.

Near sighted but it’s not too bad. She can see a little from afar without the glasses. Faces aren’t too blurry for her, she can tell if you’re wearing an eyepatch or not.

Having a dad who used to be a guard/soldier, she learned how to fight to defend herself (and her family) from attackers. Peregrine hates fighting but wouldn’t hesitate to draw her blade or her fist out if the situation is needed. Her blade is hidden under her coat, side waist. It’s only a dagger but it’s enough.

More than one scar on her body, all from fighting experiences except for the ear and her hand. She cut herself while rummaging around in her stuff and a sharp blade got her.

Her dream is to meet a dragon or a phoenix. She will bashfully ask if she could ride on its back (if it’s a big one) or hold/pet it (if it’s small).

Probably didn’t think Julian was a too much of a threat to her when he first came to the shop.

All I got in my head. Perry is still in development so you can expect more.

just finished with the update and it was so funnnn, i love how the ros arent the only mystery, most of the times the mc is the one who doesnt know anything and the ros fill them in, but in these one the mc is a badass hacker and the ros were shook uwu great chapter, totally worth the wait!

Thank you for enjoying the update! :D I try to make things something more diverse and have a leveled ground.

Considering how the MC has been in the ‘hidden vigilante’ gig for years, it doesn’t make sense for the MC to be completely clueless of these things when they’ve been part of their lives.

Glad to make you enjoy chapter 2!

This tweet made me giggle and I immediately thought about Sheriff of Nottingham so I giggled even more while making this
