he’s like if a boy was a princess

[ttuesday]

i love your writing and how you portray the fellers!! They’re spot on!! How would the Fellers react to being given a pet name like Dumpling, Sugar, Darling, etc by their partner?

why thank u sm anon you’re very nice uwu

Arthur

Arthur's a fan of pet names. He likes it when you call him by a nickname only you have for him, especially if you give him his pet name from an inside joke you have together.

In a strange way, Arthur gets a lot of comfort from having a pet name. It makes him feel special.

If his pet name is something like 'babe' or 'sugar pie' then he gets flustered when you call him that in front of other people, mainly the gang cause he knows some of them will tease him about it later.

Dutch

Dutch likes the idea of pet names but he was always the one to give his partners a pet name, Dutch never really had one.

He doesn't mean to be picky about what pet name you give him but he really is. If he could, Dutch would have no problem picking his own pet name. He wants it to hype him up, something like 'handsome' or 'your prince charming'

So if you call him something like 'dumpling' then Dutch is a lot less warm to it. "Dumpling?" he repeats, hoping that maybe he heard you wrong "do I really look like a dumpling to you?".

Micah

Micah's had a lot of nicknames in his life; Bastard, asshole, cowboy, the bane of my life and many more. But he's also likes to give other people nicknames. So when you gave him a loving pet name, Micah was stunned.

He loves giving you all different kinds of pet names that he knows you don't like just to rile you up. He gets a kick out of it when you pout about it. He always thinks you look extra cute when you do that.

If the two of you have an argument then afterwards he tries to use the pet name to his advantage. "C'mon," he says, coming up behind you "ya ain't gonna stay mad at your honey all night, are ya?".

John

John isn't used to any pet names, especially ones that're really lovey dovey. He notices that you've called him a pet name the second it leaves your mouth but he doesn't react to it.

He isn't sure if there's a way to react or if he needs to react to it. If you wanna call him by some other name then he's fine with that. After all John just wants you to be happy. Hell, you could call him Roger if it makes you happy.

One night when he's had a few beers to drink and you call him his pet name, John asks why you've chosen that one specifically. He isn't bothered by it, if anything he's just a little curious.

Javier

When you first referred to Javier by a pet name, he raised his eyebrows and asked you to repeat yourself. He sees this as a step in your relationship and one he's very proud of.

He loves having a pet name and doesn't care who hears it. In fact, the more people that hear it the better. Javier's actually a little smug about having a nickname.

If you give him a nickname in Spanish he finds that so goddamn cute. Even if you do it without knowing a lot of Spanish, it warms his heart that you've given him his own unique pet name and that you’re trying to communicate with him in his first language.

Bill

Bill scrunches his face up when you call him a pet name. "Huh?" is his first reaction. He's baffled, honoured, flustered and he gets that funny fluttery feeling in his chest that freaks him out sometimes

He wants to know exactly why you've picked that pet name, he doesn't care how common the nickname is, he just wants to know why you've chosen that one. Having a pet name makes him feel all loved ��n special so you talking about it heightens this feeling for him.

Bill tries to give you a pet name but always ends up getting in his head about it and just calls you by your name before muttering a curse at himself for not thinking of one.

Sean

Sean can be a little iffy when it comes to pet names. Obviously he wants a good nickname and he even suggests some like 'apple of your eye' or 'the love of your life that you cherish every moment with'.

But if you give him something like ‘your leprechaun’ just cause he's Irish, he doesn't like it and he makes sure you know that he ain't a fan of it.

Oh and don't worry, Sean makes sure to give you a pet name back. He tries to think of something cringey like 'snookums' or 'cutie patootie'.

Hosea

Hosea didn't think he'd ever get another pet name so it's a little surprising when you call him a nickname you've come up with rather than just saying Hosea. But it's a welcome surprise and Hosea smiles immediately

He doesn't ever mention that you've started to call him by a pet name now. It's something he enjoys and doesn't think it's necessary to bring up.

Of course he sees this as a sign to start calling you a pet name too and he makes sure to pick a special one that'll always make you smile.

[silver-chasm]

A week ago, I made these icons of all my fursonas with all these pride flags (cause they're all trans lol). Two have a few extra flags/symbols on them, representing me

Two of the symbols you see here aren't lgbt ones. I'm not saying that what they represent should be part of the lgbt community, just that they're just as much a part of me as my queer identity

An explanation of who my fursonas are and what the flags are under the cut. I tried to be brief but some of these are a bit lengthy

1. Toxic Chasm

They're my main fursona (and the namesake of this blog). E is something called a Monsuno Sapien, a human mutated by alien essence (the species comes from the Monsuno series). She is me but more grounded and more at peace than what I was when I created him. Despite the grotesque and intimidating appearance, xe is compassionate and gentle. Chasm means a lot to me

The flags/symbols:

The bandana - genderqueer:

Genderqueer is a term that encompasses anyone who not only fall outside of the binary but also gender nonconforming people (those who "queer" their gender)

Chasm is genderqueer, partly because they contain the colours of the flag. Ze also challenges the idea of anthropomorphism with hir existence, much like how I seem to challenge the gender binary with my own existence

The garland - bigender

Bigender people have two genders. These two genders can be binary or nonbinary. A bigender individual may experience both of their genders simultaneously or shift between the two

In my case, I'm a man and a demiwoman at the same time ^-^

The hearts - bisexual and asexual

Bisexual is when you're sexually attracted to more than one gender. Asexual is when you don't experience sexual attraction. Asexuals may also still experience romantic attraction

Biromantic asexuals, like me, are physically unable to experience sexual attraction but are able to experience romantic attraction to more than one gender

The infinity symbol - neurodivergence

One of the non LGBT symbols. Neurodivergent people are those with neurodevelopmental conditions (such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc) and mental health conditions (such as BPD, bipolarity, OCD, etc) and similar conditions, like schizophrenia. The infinity symbol is prominently used by autistic people, representing both the diversity of autism and neurodivergence

I'm 90% sure that I'm autistic. The other 10% is my anxiety keeping me in check

2. Korong

She is the fursona who I've had the longest (and was my primary fursona before creating Chasm). They're a giant monstrous dropbear with squid tentacles coming from her back and a second mouth on their belly. She is an absolute glutton. They are also the kind of being who would gloat about her power before trying to devour you

The flags:

The bandana - demigirl

Demigirls feel a partial but not complete connection to being a girl or woman. It is a nonbinary identity

Korong represented a past version of myself. Naturally, as I realised more about myself, she would change with me. They were never really "womanly", more monstrous than anything else

The flowers - a former vore pride flag

No, you didn't misread. This is the other non-lgbt symbol. Vorarephilia (shortened to vore) is a fetish where pleasure is derived from the idea of one being eating another (eg. snake eating a mouse, a giant holding someone in their mouth, etc). It's quite broad and typically fantastical in nature. The colours you see there belonged to a flag designed by a user here on tumblr, a genuine attempt at creating a pride symbol for vorarephiles. It wasn't a flag used outside of here. The creator has since deleted the post describing the flag, almost effectively wiping it from the internet

Korong is an embodiment of my vorarephilia. Her monstrous appearance also reflects a deep-seated shame toward this part of me I've had for years (and all for what? Strange thoughts?)

When I saw that flag and what it meant, I guess it gave me permission to feel something else towards this part of me. On top of the, the creator was reblogging vore positivity posts and posts where people were using their flag and being proud

For the longest time I thought there was something wrong with me. They showed that it's okay to be like this

Originally, I was going to draw the flag itself. I pivoted when I found that the original post (and the positivity posts) had been deleted. I drew it as hyacinths (flowers that represent grief and sincerity) because, as silly as it seems, I was dismayed that the flag and the little, safe, accepting corner of the internet had vanished. After all, what is left is a blue and purple symbol of mockery, with people disgusted that someone would think like that

I'm tired of feeling shame. As I said before, they're just strange thoughts that I cannot control. Nothing more

3. Hognose

They're a friendly Goodra, a slug dragon Pokemon. Much like the snake they're named after, Hognose has an upturned snout and a forked tongue. They're quite the skilled baker, with their favourite recipe being apple pie. They like cooking for their friends

The flag:

The bandana - agender

Agender people lack a gender, have a neutral or indefinable gender or don't identify with the concept of gender

Hognose doesn't have a gender. I forgot to give them one when creating them. Their gender expression does lean somewhat to femininity

4. Lantern

They're a baki, a goomba-like enemy from the Drawn to Life series. Technically, they've existed longer than Korong but I never considered them as a fursona. They were the mascot of my old blog thelanternwielder. They're a quiet being, tending to watch from a distance. Their eyes can cast light when its dark. They don't mind being carried by their handle (just don't swing them around too much)

The flag:

The bandana - nonbinary

Nonbinary people are those whose gender identity falls outside the man/woman binary. It's an umbrella identity, as there are many ways of not fitting in the binary

Lantern is another fursona I forgot to give a concrete gender to. And when I remembered, it didn't really make sense to gender them. They've always been a little bit unknown and mysterious, so their gender is vague and undefined to me

5. Aster

They're a fantail centipede/bee hybrid from space. Their hive lives in a moon above a resource abundant planet they collect and harvest from. Aster was one of the workers who became curious about what was beyond their planet and moon hive. So, they left and became a vagabond explorer among the stars

The flags:

On the left - agender

As it was stated, agender can mean 'genderless' and it can refer to those who don't identify with the concept of gender. Aster falls into the latter category as gender is a bizarre and foreign concept to them

On the right - intersex

Intersex people are those who were born with variation in sex characteristics that are 'atypical' from male and female sex characteristics. This can manifest in a number of ways, as sex is made up of several components. Intersex people can have any gender identity

In Aster's case, they are completely sexless. Their anatomy does not conform to the 'typical' sexes of humans (male and female). They are typical for their species, as many workers tend to be sexless

6. Hugs

He is a spotted hyena pyromancer who dances with fire. He's all about having fun and showing off his skill. He's easygoing and relaxed. His power comes from cinnabar he's imbued with

The flag:

The bandana - transgender

Being transgender is not identifying with the gender assigned to you at birth. Contrary to what some may assume, this does include nonbinary people (what do you think the white stripe in the flag represents?)

Hugs is trans guy. He's the only one here who has a binary gender

7. Alezan

He's the only child among my fursonas and the only one who was designed by someone else. They were designed by chibitacolord (here on tumblr!) He's an elfish fox child whose design is based on the raposa from Drawn to Life. Alezan mostly lives in the woods by themself, proclaiming himself to be 'the prince of the woods'. They're quite mischievous and playful. He loves flowers. They would be a florist if he was older

The flag:

The garland - genderflux

This is when the intensity of a particular gender changes. It can be considered a type of genderfluidity where the gender changes between something and nothing

Alezan is boyflux. The intensity of being a boy changes for them. Being so young, he doesn't quite have all the words to describe how he feels sometimes

8. Lasso

They're a strange being who has the body of an ox, the head of a humanoid crab and draconic wings. Their design is based on lamassu, ancient Mesopotamian guardian deities, and my Chinese and Western zodiac signs. Lasso was a being who was created at the edge of reality itself. As a result, they're incredibly inquisitive. They are also quite protective once they get attached to you

The flag:

The bandana - aitherogender

This is a xenogender. Some people feel that usual language around gender isn't able to describe the gender identity they experience, so they use metaphors to describe it. Aitherogender is an ethereal and otherworldly gender that is almost impossible to describe with written or spoken medium. It was originally intended for neurodivergent people but anyone can use the term

Given where Lasso came from, it would be likely that their gender wouldn't conform to human expectation or understanding of gender, let alone be able to be described in human language (or any language). I just thought it would be neat for them to have an otherworldly gender when they themself are otherworldly
