I do think that when you're complaining about people on tumblr saying men dni or cis men dni you do need to add the context of the fact you can literally post a single photo of yourself and have like a dozen straight men with porn blogs in your dms some of them sending sexual messages and photos to you like. immediately.
like someone who's saying that isn't necessarily trying to enforce a gender binary more and when you're trans or genderfluid or transmasc it is like. well I guess I stay away then! and perhaps it's not the most ideal way because of that to set up boundaries. but like it's forming from a certain way this site functions regarding fetishization and sexual harassment, not blatant hatred at the mere concept of masculinity.

(same anon here with the touchy guy best friend) Don't get me wrong, Aaravos, I never reciprocated his romantic feelings...I always knew they were there, but I didn't want our friendship to get awkward because of it
What I didn't know was he'd been alienating me from the other guys for MONTHS, and I'd always feel left out and lonely in groups, and he'd be the person i'd turn to, the person i thought I could trust
So when i found out he was the cause of all my misery, my heart just absolutely shattered, you know? Because I didn't know this was the sheer extent of his feelings for me...and it creeped me out, because he was the kind of guy who didn't take no for an answer
my sixth sense would always scream at me whenever he'd touch me in a way I wouldn't like...like the one time he put his hand on my waist, and honest to god, I was not only creeped out, but I was also scared. i don't know why, and i didn't know how to tell him to stop touching me, but it scared me...i was thirteen years old, and i still remember my heart pounding-
and i do hate him, but honestly, i feel like its my fault too...the signs were all there from the start and i chose to ignore them in a desperate bid to revive a friendship and a person i knew was too adamant to change
and i think this is the first time i'm really, genuinely talking about this, since i don't think i have any friends at all anymore
Oh, goodness, little one, you've been carrying this around for quite some time, haven't you?
Starling, breaking away from such a thing with little to no support is incredibly difficult, and I am so, so proud of you for it. <3
...Do let me know if you ever see him again. I have a blade you can borrow, if you'd like.

Sorry for so many asks, but I was thinking, how would the Survive kids react to the others coming out(as anything queer)? Do you tbink Miyuki would've known about older social norms and be confused by modern ones and not care? Which friend is the "overly excited ally"?
Never apologize, I love everyone's thoughts and ideas
It's so hard for me to imagine any of these kids not being themselves some type of queer lmao
I think the reactions would range anywhere from a standard "oh congrats" to (internally) "I think they just made me realize something about myself" to "welcome to the club" to "to be honest we all kinda knew already"
It might be awkward in the sense of just not knowing what to say, but I don't think anyone would have a straight up negative reaction. I mean these are the same kids who accepted literal monsters as their best friends and family, there's no way they're not accepting each other just for not being cishet.
...I can totally see Minoru jokingly responding to one of the other guys coming out as mlm with "cool, just don't fall in love with me" which...depending who it is and what you ship might be something he grows to regret down the line. Either for making them feel bad or because like "I change my mind please fall in love with me" Or both.
It is very funny to me to think that Miu and Kaito would never come out to each other in any official capacity. There is just vibes, referring to themselves with different pronouns until the other notices, and a sibling nod of understanding. And then from there everyone else would catch on eventually.
I also love the idea of Miyuki being too confused to be bothered. She has 0 idea what the words ace or pan mean, but if that's what her friends are then good for them. Society is constantly changing its mind about what's wrong or right, so she'll respectfully ignore it and support her friends unconditionally.
Also her listening to someone else try to explain their identity and going "wait why is this relatable" is funny to me ksjsndn
Her and her brother just spend several hours researching these things so they can understand and support the others better.
To that end
Overexcited ally and possible unwitting closet queer bc times were different Akiharu who can and will go overboard making sure his many adopted children feel loved and accepted
Also the idea of one of the others like Aoi or Takuma getting caught in the "overly excited ally" to "actually lgbt" pipeline. That's what happened to my best friend XD
They just FEEL like the kind of people to go "I'm straight but I support you" and then several years later go "oh I am NOT straight am I"
Everyone else: WE KNOW
