Fanfic requests OPEN for Euphoria (HBO)

I am currently taking fanfic requests for Euphoria (the HBO show)

I will write : - Hurt/comfort - Fluff - AUs - Canon divergence - Songfics - Any other trope (so long as it follows my rules) - Any headcanon (so long as it follows my rules) - Whatever ship you want (so long as it follows my rules)

I won’t write : - Smut or fetish fics - Pedophilia/incest (including adopted family, and including step-siblings)/beastiality ships (or anything like that) - OCs - Crossovers - Y/N - Suicide and self-harm (in reference to canon material such as Jules' self harm is fine but I will not write explicit depictions of either) - Drowning (personal trigger of mine) - Werewolf AUs (werewolves are also a trigger of mine)

Other things to note : - I do not guarantee I will write every request I get. Sometimes requests will just not click with me, and sometimes I don’t feel qualified to fulfill it. I will try to write as many as I can, though - You can also submit any requests to this prompt meme on AO3 if that’s more your style : https://archiveofourown.org/collections/newwwwusernamerequests or to this Google form : https://forms.gle/3K7STap3v715Hidu5

The following is a list of ships and headcanons I particularly like. I’ll write anything, but I’m much more likely to write it if it has one or more of the following

Pairings (/ for romantic, & for platonic) : Rue/Jules, Jules/Elliot, Jules/Maddy, Jules & Lexi, Rue & or / Lexi, Fezco/Lexi, Nate/Jules, Maddy/Cassie, Maddy platonically with most of the main crew, Jules platonically with most of the main crew, Lexi platonically with most of the main crew, Fezco & Rue, Elliot & Rue, Ethan & anyone he needs friends

Headcanons : Autistic!Jules, Autistic!Fezco, Autistic!Lexi, FTM!Elliot, FTM or Nonbinary!Rue, Asexual!Rue

[anewgayeveryday]

Today's LGBT+ Character is;

Rue Bennett from Euphoria-Nonbinary Lesbian

Species: Human

Requested by @haunted-garbage

Status: Alive

[iamnotout]

Rue Bennett being a non-binary lesbian. An icon.

[nearlybitches]

i think quite possibly the most irritating and hilarious part of this fandom is watching everyone just assume certain character have certain labels and then absolutely losing their shit when their headcanon is wrong. please... please gain critical thinking skills. pull your heads out of your asses for like 5 seconds-

[spacebarsidecar]

I know it's literally said out loud by the character and everything but I fully cannot see elliot trying to get in between rue/jules he's just such a laid back character all the intensity is coming from Jules in any of these interactions

the guessing rue's asexual comes in here too like we've only seen her passionate about drugs and if she associates elly with drugs that might come in to play too

October reading and reviews by Maia Kobabe 

Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee read by Kim My Guest

I listened to this as an audiobook without knowing anything about it and was delightfully surprised by my random choice! Set in a far future in which humans and supernatural beings have terraformed and colonized multiple worlds, this is an action-packed young adult sci-fi with magic in the vein of Artemis Fowl. The main character, Min, is from a family of shape-shifting foxes, traditionally the least loved and least trusted of the supernatural races (all of whom are drawn from Korean mythology). Her older brother Jun joined the Space Forces a few years ago and Min longs to join him and see other worlds once she is old enough. Then comes the devastating news: her brother is missing, and is being called a deserter; the rumor is that he abandoned his post to chase after the fabled Dragon Pearl. Min knows this can't be true, and she decides she has to prove it. She runs away from home and before long has tangled with pirates, gamblers, and ghosts. She ends up impersonating a cadet on her brother's military ship to search for clues where she befriends a young dragon cadet and a goblin cadet. One of best surprises was that this book has several nonbinary characters who use they/them pronouns, which are a completely normalized part of this society. The most unrealistic part is that Min is only 13 years old when she leaves home for a wild series of adventures that would tax the cleverness and resources of a full adult, but that's YA for you. I'd definitely recommend this as a fun quick read and I will probably look into other books by this author.

The Dark Fantastic by Ebony Elizabeth Thomas

I've been looking forward to this book's release since I heard a podcast interview with the author all the way back in 2015! The author examines the roles of black female characters in several of the biggest fantasy franchises of the past decade: Rue from The Hunger Games, Gwen from the BBC show Merlin, Bonnie Bennett from The Vampire Diaries and Angelina Johnson from Harry Potter. The author is incredibly well researched and draws on a wide variety of sources and quotes, both in the academic realm and the fandom realm. In each chapter she also recounts her personal experiences with these stories, and how her view on them has changed over time. The final chapter also dives into the popular fan reading of Hermione as a black character, and the author's perspective of one of the first outspoken black HP fans in the early days of HP fan groups online. I rarely count nonfiction books as guilty pleasure reading, but this was such a delight. I loved all of Thomas' insights into these characters and the ways black characters in the hands of white writers can fall into a predictable cycle of tropes: seen as spectacles, meet with hesitation, faced with violence and leaving a presence which haunts the rest of the text. I can't recommend this highly enough, especially if you enjoy thoughtful critique of literature and pop culture!

The Midwinter Witch by Molly Knox Ostertag

I was lucky enough to get a black and white advanced reader copy of this at BookExpo. The series continues to be extremely charming, with the characters facing challenges in the magical world which are often very easy metaphors for queer experiences. As the main character friend group has grown larger, each character's story arc is a bit shorter because the author must balance out more character's time on the page. But I am still very captivated by this series and glad that this book ended in a way which leaves room for more!

Wait What? By Heather Corinna, Isabella Rotman and Luke B Howard

This is a short, friendly, accessible guide to sex ed topics. The language is very inclusive of queer, trans and nonbinary people, and aims to entertain and destigmatize as well as educate. I love the playful artwork by Isabella Rotman and the bright colors by Luke B Howard. Appropriate for middle schoolers up to young high schoolers.

The Hard Tomorrow by Eleanor Davis

This book is an emotional distillation of the hopes and fears of our current climate, authored by one of the major talents working in comics today. Set in a near future America in which Zuckerberg is President, human-rights violations have increased, and paranoia about surveillance is at an all time high, the lead characters are dreamers fighting for a better future. Hannah and Josh live on a small plot of land, hoping to build their own house, plant a garden, and start a family. Hannah is a hospice worker and an activist, part of a group called Humans Against All Violence, which is protesting the use of chemical weapons. Josh is a stoner who just can't quite get any of his optimistic, sustainable-living projects started. They've been trying to get pregnant for a while, a decision that Hannah's activist friend/crush Gabby doesn't understand. The story climaxes when a protest march is met with police violence, putting Hannah's friends in legal and physical danger. She and Josh each separately have an intense experience of the constant nearness of mortality. Davis' art is alive with details, both of the natural world and the expressive body language of the characters. No one draws like her, and it is a painful joy to live in her world for a little while.

The Sunken Tower by Tait Howard

I was lucky enough to read an advanced copy of this delightful, strange, D&D infused comic. Dig is a down-on-his-luck wizard and thief whose day goes from bad to worse when he is kidnapped by red-cloaked minions and carried to an underground prison. The Blood Cultists need enough living sacrifices to free the horrible monster they've pledged their loyalty to. Dig wakes up in a cell with Iana and Crina, two adventurers. They don't plan to just wait around to be sacrificed. The three escape and enter a dangerous underground maze, with the Blood Cultists one step behind. Are they heading towards the surface, or straight into the monster's mouth?

Good Talk by Mira Jacobs

I highly recommend this audiobook, read by the author and a full cast. It's a very short production, under four hours, the majority of which is dialogue. Mira opens with a series of conversations with her five year old son that begin with queries about Michael Jackson and head into questions about race, the treatment of brown and black people in America, and the experiences of mixed-race families. Mira dips back and forth between memories from her own childhood in New Mexico, conversations with her East Indian immigrant parents, memories of dating, temping and writing in New York in her 20s and 30s, meeting her Jewish husband and his Republican parents and scenes from the lead up to the 2016 election. I loved the quickness of the narrative, the way nothing was over-explained or lingered on. My brain immediately suggested that this book would probably make a very good comic!

How To Do Nothing by Jenny Odell

Jenny Odell makes a case for paying attention as an act of resistance, resilience, and a necessary step in being able to think critically and organize for activism. She worries that the "attention economy" (the persuasive design of social media and advertising) is leaving modern people, especially people who are already marginalized or in financially precarious positions, no room for quiet, introspective thought. New ideas often need time and space to grow, but who in this world has time and space to spare? Only the well-to-do, who should not have a monopoly on time to do nothing. Odell roots her book in the Bay Area, specifically in Oakland, drawing on anecdotes of native plants and birds as well as the histories of parks, unions, and labor in the Bay Area. She returns frequently to the story of the Useless Tree, a tree too twisted to be logged for timber, which was able to grow old and strong, sheltering a whole ecosystem under it's many branches. This is a refreshingly un-prescriptive book. Despite many critiques of facebook and twitter, Odell doesn't advocate for deleting one's accounts, but rather a kind of mindful resistance from within. The conclusion includes a call for Manifest Dismantling (a radical opposite of Manifest Destiny)- a hope that humans will begin to carefully unmake some of the things we have built, un-daming rivers, breaking up concrete shores and tearing up lawns to replant with native plants. I listened to this book as an audiobook, but I kind of wish I had read it on paper instead, because ironically I don't think I fully gave it the attention it deserved- I was working while listening to most of it, which felt pretty hypocritical.

some notes on non cis muses.

Because I have a lot of headcanons and I don’t think I put them anywhere else yet that’s my bad.

Arya Stark 

Agender

They & them ONLY

Don’t use gendered language with them they think it’s annoying and they’ll tell u so.

James Lewis

Doesn’t know it yet but he is nonbinary someone help him

I will elaborate when he figures it out.

Klaus Hargreeves

Genderfluid

He or they OR she

Usually no preference at all but occasionally will get VERY fussy about it (specifically when they are not feeling ‘he’) so just be careful. 

Maybe ask to be safe because they might bite u.

Miles Wingrave

Trans man and shy about it.

Don’t ask him about it pls it’s just who he is.

Rue Bennett

Nonbinary

Trial run on ‘they’ pronouns and they’re into it.

Super chill and probably won’t even correct u if u forget.

They said u can use ‘she’ if u want.

Schmidt

Trans man

Not shy about it but it’s not really something a lot of people know

Started transitioning at a YOUNG age (lucky bastard had access to hormone blockers pre-puberty)

Very confident in his identity go ahead and ask it’s ok.

Viago

Nonbinary but just in his head .

So they go by ‘he’ only

Will never tell u or anyone but this is just a fun fact.

Xeno Lovegood

Nonbinary

Uses they & he but prefers ‘he’

But not listening or paying attention usually. Won’t notice probably.

As long as the people he cares about respect him nothing else matters.
