[gabessquishytum]

Okay as a Particular Kind of asexual I have a rather specific au. It could work for both Hob or Dream but for my purposes let's go with Dream on this one. Human Dream is a HUGE workaholic. Like stressed 24/7, can't relax for the life of him, insomnia to the MAX. he's tried EVERYTHING. Yoga, affirmations, candles, drugs, fuck it he's even tried going GLUTEN FREE for fucks sake but nothing can break this cycle of physical and mental stress. He's gotten the "You need to get laid dude" but he can give HIMSELF an orgasm just fine, and it hasn't reset his brain or body, and the effort of going out, finding someone who wants him, determining whether they're a seriel killer, doing the Whole Hookup Song and Dance, with the high probability that it won't even work or be particularly good? It's just more stress on his plate. So a friend, could be a good friend (Lucienne) or a bad friend (Corinthian), suggest he see a Professional. A professional Dom, that is. He needs out of his head for a while, and that's the whole idea right? Just letting someone else do the driving. Cue Hob, Gentle Dom Extraordinaire, who has JUST the right touch for this mess of a man. He's kind and friendly, the kind of guy you WANT to listen to honestly, a guy you can trust, and he never gets meaner than some teasing, keeping Dream from feeling defensive and storming off. Dream goes in pretty skeptical of the whole thing, but by the time he's come out he's already addicted. Their first few sessions are distictly non sexual, but after a while they start branching out, working out Dream's physical stress...

I do think it would be really good in the other direction too, I just don't think Hob would have particular trouble NEEDING a Dom, I think he'd just try it as he does many things in his Insatiable Lust for Life and falls for Dream's Domming specifically. Soft Dom Dream? You'd never guess, especially since outside their sessions he's such a..stone cold asshole tbh. You'd think he'd be mean and demanding, but his soft deep voice says such sweet things instead, Hob MELTS.

Thanks for the platform to project all this outwards, it would be stewing in my mind FORVER otherwise

Ooo yes I'm a big fan of domination being a part of lifestyle which isn't always sexual. Dream being dommed into basic self care is something that can be so personal actually. And honestly? I can see Hob benefitting from the same thing. I can definitely imagine him going through fluctuating mental health and needing a steady hand to get him back on the right track.

Back to Dream, though. I love the idea of him going to Hob with certain expectations (Cori told him that it would be all whips and chains). But Hob is soft and kind, and he quickly puts Dream at ease. The first session is all about finding out what Dream wants, what his triggers are, how he wants to feel at the end. Hob eases him into the dynamic by guiding him through a series of orders - it's more like a guided breathing exercise than anything else, and it does give Dream a more realistic idea of what sessions with Hob are going to be like. There's also a very nice massage specifically for Dream’s hands, which he's never had before.

He leaves feeling like he's floating, with strict instructions from Hob to call if he feels any negative side effects whatsoever. He can't believe how good he feels! And he wants to be such a good boy for Hob.

Within a few weeks, Dream is eating nutritious meals and going to bed without his work laptop. He's got more important things to do in bed! He's got to send Hob a picture of his cute little hole stretching around an egg plug by 9pm, or he'll be in big trouble...

Sad Big Wolf from a distant realm(BG3)

This took FORVER to do (now back to that commission I was working on XD )

Wanted to sketch out a comic that represents Beth's most negative experience from all these crossover events she goes trough(a more in canon way of representing my experience playing my Unholy Trinity in different games)

Wanted to go with something dramatic, I feel like BG3 was a solid choice setting-wise for her letting it out, plus her wholesome Barbarian Buddy Karlach was a good person to add in for the interaction

Tone deaf placements?

My partner is tone deaf and has

Pluto in the 2nd (deep voice)

Pluto ☍ Venus

Pluto trine Jupiter

Moon placements ☍

Venus in the 8th ☍ 2nd pluto

Musical Examples for talent and music style

☀️Demi lovato🌹

✨️Venus and Jupiter in the 2nd

✨️The grand trine

✨️Venus trine neptune

✨️Moon trine Neptune

✨️Venus trine Neptune

✨️Uranus conjuct Neptune

✨️Venus sextile Pluto (sexy, deeper voice)

✨️Sun Leo, Moon Taurus,Mercury Leo, ASC Leo, MC Taurus,

✨️Neptune, Uranus and NN in 5th

✨️Sun in the 1st

✨️Mercury and Chiron in 12th

With all that Leo dominant in her chart followed by Taurus(R&B vibes, chill) and Virgo the style Pop and hardrock come out.

She is very bold with her lyrics and her lyrics often give me huge Leo energy and then also she can be much softer with that Virgo dominant

&& considering she has so much Taurus she seriously does hit all the senses and deliver us with goosebumps

Demi is also moon dominant and then Scorpio

This is huge for her lyrics and her emotions she feels and her being a Taurus moon and Taurus moons are firm on commitment

So what I'm getting at is that demi sings about a forver love "only forever" "4 ever 4 me"

With moon dominant she sings from the heart with lyrics like

Don't forget!!" Did you forget that I was even alive?" Leo and Moon vibes

"I took that dirty jacket from the trash right where you left it, cause I couldn't stand to see it go to waste" in case by demi

My cancer rising & Taurus venus relate to wanting to keep a posession of someone important to you

Lionheart is a beautiful song and funny the name considering she's Leo dominant

Stone cold

"You see me standing but I'm dying on the floor" "stone cold, baby.. God knows I try to feel , happy for you

You can feel the pain in her voice as she sings .. she has 12 moon aspects

Jupiter in the 2nd

This amplifies her voice to be very powerful and having venus in the 2nd makes for a higher pitch, extravagant, pronounced and very beautiful voice.

She has amazing aspects for a beautiful voice and damn she hits those notes!

(Venus square Mars) high pitched mars

🌌Danny Jones (Mcfly)☄️

Danny is Aries and Pisces dominant and the music he creates shows it.

Fast paced songs with mystical lyricism that puts the "motion in the ocean"

Only a Aries, Pisces Dom would create such a lyric.

Notice how song songs refer to "memory lane"" back to that day, I'll remember you always" ah hah! This songs like Tom and his cancer placements reminiscing.

Danny has

✨️Ruler of the 2nd (Venus) in the 8th (scorpio)

✨️Pluto in Scorpio adds to his DEEP voice

✨️ Scorpio trine Neptune

(OK so I think this combo makes for a very beautiful voice a deep and dreamy voice, wow, and the Aries in his chart gives some rasp too, oh my baby)

✨️Jupiter trine Pluto 🔊

✨️Venus and moon in the 1st

✨️2nd in Taurus , lord in the 1st

✨️half water and half fire.. 10% earth

✨️Neptune, pluto and Mars Dom

(Dreamy lyrics and style, deeper voice that can carry the long notes)

✨️Mercury, Sun and Jupiter in 12th

If you listen carefully you can see how Danny and Tom shine through into their music.

Some lyrics that come to mind are

Danny Aries moon and pluto in the 8th

got me thinking about that song "that girl" "please please me" "surfer babe" "met this girl"

"Hey I'm looking out for my star girl" Neptune gurrrl

"Your gravity making me dizzy"

"She will always be my sunkissed trampoline,

She goes up and down in my heart,

Turned into jelly beans"

"Don't wake me up, cause I'm dreaming so much and I don't ever want to stop"

One for radio and the heart never lies makes me think pisces perspective

"We all look the same in the dark"

"Some people run right into the fire and Some people hide their every desire"

Its a Greater perspective seeing that all people are the same and that all are different

Sounds just like Neptune perspective and then the fast paced tempo of Aries and Sagittarius that so many songs carry.

Tom's lyrics really fall true to the cancer and Scorpio dominant he has. He also has Leo dominant which adds to the drama on cancer and Scorpio.

Songs like

✨️Broccoli

✨️POV

"I'm looking at you from a new point of view, don't know how the he'll I fell I love with you" Scorpio vibes again

✨️she falls asleep

✨️sorrys not good enough

✨️bubble wrap "I wish I could bubble wrap my heart, in case I fall and break apart"

"Lifes a bitch and so are you" scorpio sting

✨️do ya

MUSICAL STYLE AND TASTE

Blogambientmixer.com

🔁Aries – Aries enjoy upbeat tempo music such as pop, jazz and rock. Still, some Aries have a profound taste for classical music as well.

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

I'm going to make my own version for what I see in signs and what they like in music and how they sound.

Below is information provided by advanced astrology

Musical ability in astrology is connected with the zodiac signs Taurus and Pisces. There are some planets that are also important for musical talent: the Moon, Venus, and Neptune all have to do with music, you will see in a minute why.

However, all zodiac signs have their unique traits. Aquarius makes your artistic style very original, Scorpio brings depth, Aries makes it more passionate and energetic, Capricorn is drawn to classics, and so on.

Taurus and Musical Talent in Astrology

In astrology, Taurus rules the vocal cords, the neck, throat, and the voice.

The ruling planet of Taurus is Venus. Taurus is one of the most artistic signs in astrology, oriented on enjoying life and finding beauty in it. Taurus has refined aesthetic skills and an admiration for finer things in life. Many people with an emphasized Taurus have very good taste and artistic abilities.

Pisces and Musical Talent in Astrology

Pisces is the most mystical, otherworldly sign in astrology. Pisces belongs to a different realm, just like music. People with placements in Pisces often possess artistic talent of different kinds, including musical talent in astrology.

Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of artistic inspiration, fantasy, music, dance, acting. Neptune is able to create an enchanting illusion through which we can escape reality. A prominent and well-aspected Neptune in the birth chart can also suggest musical and singing ability.

Libra and Musical Talent

When talking about art, you have to mention Libra. Libra is the other zodiac sign ruled by Venus, and it is frequently emphasized in the charts of artists. Libra is all about balance and harmony.

Leo and Musical Abilities

Leo is the sign of creativity and self-expression. The Lion is often emphasized in the charts of people who enjoy being in the limelight. Leo is all about attention, drama, royalty. This sign enjoys performing and entertaining others.

Planets and Music

The following planets have a lot to do with music and musical talent in astrology. If they particularly stand out in your natal chart, you possess a lot of their energy. As always, you have to read the whole chart.

Venus and Arts

Venus rules Taurus and Libra. A strong Venus in the birth chart suggests a talent for arts and a talent for creating harmony. This planet helps you find balance and it makes you graceful and charming.

Neptune and Singing Ability in Astrology

Neptune is perhaps the most important planet to look to for singing ability. Neptune rules inspiration, music, singing, and dancing in astrology. A well-aspected Neptune can be a strong indicator of musical talent and singing abilities in astrology.

The Moon and Musical Talent in Astrology

The Moon represents your emotional nature, your instincts, intuition, moods. A prominent Moon in the natal chart suggests that the person is very emotional and they can express their feelings in an artistic way.

Besides emotions, the Moon also represents your clientele and audience.

Jupiter

Jupiter expands everything it touches in astrology. If your Jupiter is aspecting the planets important for music, it makes them more powerful in the birth chart. For example, Jupiter conjunct Venus enhances your sense of harmony to great extents.

Uranus and Musical Talent

Uranus is another planet that frequently stands out in the charts of musicians. Uranus is all about innovation, modern ideas, revolution, creativity and making something new. If Uranus aspects a lot of your planets, it suggests that you think out of the box. It indicates a unique, unusual style of music and art.

Musical Talent in the Natal Chart

There are some indicators in the natal chart that suggest musical talent in astrology. Usually, you look to Venus, Neptune, the Moon, Uranus, their aspects with each other.

However, the houses are also important. Some houses have more to do with music and performing than others.

1st house: the first house is the House of Self. Planets here suggest an interesting person who has a lot of things to say.

2nd house: planets in the second house are your resources and assets. These planets are often talent indicators. Sometimes they even financially support you.

3rd house: the third house is the house of skills but also communication. An active third house suggests an active mind and great communication skills.

5th house: the fifth house is all about creativity and self-expression. This is the natural house of Leo. Planets here indicate a person who loves being in the center of attention, and who is creative and fun to be around.

10th house: the tenth house governs your profession and public image. Planets in the tenth house describe how the world sees you, and they are also indicators of your professional path.

12th house: the twelfth house is the natural house of Pisces. Twelfth house placements make you introspective, imaginative, but also self-conscious and anxious. These are not easy placements in the natal chart.

Usually, the natal charts of musicians are water (eventually air) heavy.

Indicators of Vocal and Musical Talent in Astrology

For musical talent, the planets Venus and Neptune are the most important. Depending on the kind of instrument you play, Mercury can also have a big role. This planet rules the hands, fingers, and Mercury governs skills. A well-aspected Mercury in the natal chart suggests hand dexterity. 👐

Vocal and Singing Talent in the Birth Chart

For singers, the most important signs are Taurus and Pisces. As mentioned before, Taurus rules the vocal cords. Singers frequently have a stellium in Taurus.

Here are some indicators of vocal talent in astrology. With harmonious aspects (trine, sextile, the conjunction), there is an easier flow of energy, but hard aspects (square, opposition, quincunx) provide motivation and force your to take action

Moon-Venus aspects

Moon-Venus aspects are typical indicators of artistic talent in the natal chart. Here, you can express emotions in a harmonious and beautiful way. Harmonious Moon-Venus aspects give a charming personality and it often makes you popular.

Moon-Neptune aspects

These aspects often indicate a beautiful voice.

Venus-Uranus aspects

Uranus brings a unique, fresh point of view. With Venus-Uranus aspects, you have an original way of expressing your emotions. You prefer new, unusual ways of making art. These aspects are frequently found in the natal charts of pop musicians. Venus in aspect to Uranus also suggests a good sense of rhythm.

do you ever think when your brain goes psychosisy that itll never get better? likw ill never feel normal again what if like this forver? what if i never recover?

[sebsxphia]

Seb my love I can’t stop thinking about like dad’s best friend!cyclone.. like maybe your dad is also an admiral and they’re good friends, cyclone hangs out at your parents house all the time he comes over for dinners, drinks beers and watches football with your dad, etc. So you’ve had a big crush on him since you were a teenager and when you come home from college he sees how you’ve grown up and how beautiful you are and it drives him crazy. You start doing everything in your power to rile him up, to make him notice you (unaware that he already definitely does notice you) wearing your cutest little outfits, swimming and lounging by the pool in your skimpiest bikinis when he’s over drinking beers with your dad in the backyard, walking with that little extra swing in your hips whenever he’s around. Maybe one day when he’s over, your dad gets a call from your mom saying her car broke down so your dad goes to pick her up, leaving you alone with Beau in the meantime and that’s when you kiss for the first time. It’s a full-on, hot and heavy make out session where he has you lifted up on the kitchen counter, your hands in his hair, his big hands running up and down your thighs, but you’re pulled apart all too soon by the sound of your dads car in the driveway. Then of course you start sneaking around, going to his place, meeting up for late night drives in his car, teasingly running your foot up and down his legs/thighs under the table when he comes over for dinner. Also if you’re inexperienced, that would just drive him insane, I totally believe cyclone has an innocence and corruption kink, he’d just wanna ruin you in any way possible. When he fucks you for the first time, he’s in awe of how ruined you look, his big hand around your neck, mascara trailing from your teary eyes, a hazy blissed out expression on your face, clenching around him where he’s still inside of you, completely cockdrunk and unable to form any coherent thoughts or words. He’s taking you on every surface in his house, his bed, his couch, the kitchen counter, the shower, up against walls, in his car, you name it!

YES YES YES I’M PHYSICALLY LOOSING IT AT THIS TROPE

they’re good friends and poor cyclone, he’s never had time for relationships due to the nature of his work. sure he’s fucked plenty, but he can’t maintain relationships and then you appear. fresh from college wearing the littlest outfits around the house and always flashing your dad that sweet smile and batting your eyelashes to get your way. god does he want to ruin you.

when your dad’s car pulls into the driveway, he pulls away from you lightening quick and smoothes his hair and shirt out, leaving you with swollen lips and a heaving chest. before he leaves your house, he tells your dad he forgot his jacket and makes his way back to you standing at the top of the stairs. he hands you a scrunched up piece of paper and whispers low in your ear, “text me tonight.”

not only is he taking you on every surface of his house, he’s also taking you on every surface of your house. you blush like crazy when he’s round yours and your dad is talking his ear off about the solid oak kitchen table and cyclone agrees and tells your dad, “mm, super sturdy too.”

jfsnijfans i could talk about this trope FORVER

thank you so, so much for this dear anon!! 💌💖

[pollyna]

All of these prompts sound fascinating! Being super into Ice, I'd be really interested in 4, 15, 22 and 31, but any writing of yours is a gift.

It wans't in any of my plans to actually write on of that prompts AHAHAH but anyway i can't say no, but it's gonna be an extension of the prompt more than a ff? I'm probably going to go back on them at some point when the fucking inventary will stop killing me. So thank you so much for your kind words and i'm really sorry if it's not what you were expecting.

-#04: Can't pass out

"We had a pact, Admiral" a voice says, from the door.

"No. You, my husband, and my kid decided on something. I, for my part, didn't agree with anything. So no, no pact of any kind, Admiral Kerner."

"Thomas." 

"Ronald, what can I do for you today?"

"Cancer won't win because work will kill you first."

"I'm going to die anyway. At least you should let me choose how, what do you think?"

Ron knows that snapping back won't help, that Tom is just as concerned and scared as they all are. And he's tired. He was more tired than he let people see, but Ron had been around since Tom was nineteen, and he saw it all, so he knew.

"Come on, old man, let me take you home; we can eat takeout and watch stupid soap operas, and I won't tell anybody you fell asleep ten minutes into the night's most interesting movie," Ron says, and he knows he's won when Tom snorts back at him.

"Okay, okay. But only if you can get the chicken from that southern place on the Sixth." 

Ron doesn't say it but he would go to Georgia to take a single piece of chicken tender if that would help in taking Ice home.

Tom goes from standing up to almost face down on the maquette in half a second, the time Ron has to imagine himself flying to Georgia and back in time for dinner and thinking about how many laws he could break or not. Tom's body hits the ground but not with his face because Ron still has some reflex and grabs him before the worst can happen.

"I'm too young for this shit, Ronnie" Tom whispers, against his chest, a lifetime of silence after.

"I know Tommy, I know. But you have to stay awake and not pass out. Then we will go home and eat all the fried chicken you want" he answers, whispering too because he's sure that if he tries to talk out loud he will start crying and he can't, not right now.

-#15: New scars. This one it's gonna be a little more consistent but that's bc it's a fic I'm trying to write since forver and i'm constantly changing parameters on what i should or shouldn't do. But it's not the interesting part of it, sorry lol.

"I can try to do that." Tom nods as if he's trying to convince himself, and Ron has to count from five to zero before moving a single muscle.

5 old scars someone put on his body and he tells the story to Maverick + the 5 Maverick was around to see heal.

I.

He got the first one when he's five and running around with a plastic plane his dad took home after his n. mission he can't talk about but makes him angry and snappy with his mom but soft with his son, expecially when he passes his big, big, hands in his hair. He's running around the garden and then he's falling on his little plane, his mom is running towards him, his dad is screaming he's an idiot and toy is broke in two pieces and Tom doesn't know what he makes him cry the most: the blood he's loosing from his knee or he precious new toy that now lies between the grass without a wing.

His dad put the plane in the bin and doesn't listen reason when his mom tries to tell him that it can be easily fix and Tom gets a scar, a small and insignificant one that he will soon forget.

(Mav kisses it, during one of nights they have free and have no hurry be anywhere if not in bed. He makes funny faces evertime Tom tells the story on how he got it and Iceman laugh along because you're cute when you make that face Pete.)

II.

The second one Pete notices, this time they're making out on 'Wood terrible couch because everybody else is outside for a barbecue and it's too hot to stay inside but kissing Pete is worth even that, is just a little as the first one, mostly covered by his hairs and when Pete's finger trace it he almost jump because he forgot he was there and it still so sensitive. Pete notices but doesn't have the time to say anything because Tom is kissing him again and Ron is calling because dinner is read and if they don't move their going to have to eat grass!

(He tells Pete, a couple of hours and beers later, that high school hasn't been as kind as he likes to remember. And he talked too many, two, languages people didn't understand and Easter Europe heritage made him a commie every day of the week. He got in a fight more against a desk than the boy but they both got suspended but nobody ever tried to mess with him, after that day.)

III.

-#22: Caughing out blood.

The next one has a funny story that makes Slider a little wild when he gets around talking about it because he has the same one in the same place! Young, dumb and a day away from deployment they drunk too much shitty alcohol they find in the mess kitchen and tried to jump over the wall on the Academy. They both failed so bad they end up with both of their forearms bleeding a little and the instructor was soooo pissed, do you remember Tommy? He talked for hours and we had the mother of all headaches but Ice cold no mistake found the way out of that situation just looking at the guy. I could have kissed you right there for that.

He washed it three times, and there's still blood on it. The blood is on his shirt, on his hands, on his skin, and uncl-his dad is lying on a hospital bed, with too many machines connected to his body and an oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth. Deployment sucked this time around; the squadron was full of navy brats who wanted to know more about everybody. At least Phoenix was there.

They were eating outside, at some place on the ocean Mav found while riding his bike at three in the morning when Ice wasn't there, and that he promised made the best risotto seafood he ever tasted. They were laughing, drinking white wine, and his arm was around Ice's shoulders in support of Mav's last disaster when the older man started to cough. Once, twice, and then a third time, until Bradley felt his own blood running cold because there was blood. Blood on the tissue and then on his shirt because Ice wasn't fast enough to cover his mouth again.

And then Mav's hands were touching Ice and looking at him like he was trying to find an answer to a question Bradley didn't even know existed.

"Breath love breath. Bradley is going to drive us to the hospital, but I need you to continue to breath like the doctor showed you." He said, "Yeah, yeah, like that. C'mon Ice, I know you can do it." 

"Baby Goose, eyes here. I need you to start the car. We will be right behind you. Then you will drive to the hospital, and I'm going to explain everything, but I need to make sure Ice is okay before that. Do you understand Brad?"

"Ye-yes, pops. Car, hospital, and then you're going to explain it to me. Okay. "

Ice's eyes were glossy and concentrated on Maverick and Maverick alone.

"It's going to be okay, Baby Goose." Ice murmured, his voice low and cracked. 

-#31: You can rest now.

The idea comes to Rooster while on a little too much of a drug after they had to set his shoulder twice because the first time it didn't set right.

Once I'm out of here, we should all go and spend the night in the den. Nothing is as warm and comfy as the den. I miss the den. Can we go to the den, pops?" he asked, almost on the point of tears.

"Yeah, Baby Goose, we can go to the den." He answers, laughing a little.

"Okay pops, thank you" he answers before snuggling a little more into his pillow, with Natasha and Jake's fingers patting his hair.

-

The den is warm and, oh, how Bradley missed this place.

"So this is the den?" a voice behind him asks, and someone whistles.

"Yeah, yeah this is the den." Bradley answers before slumping in his favourite spot, the cat already stretching her belly to let him pat her.

"It's nice." Jake says, sitting beside him.

"Yeah, every house should have one!" Fritz adds "and a cat! Who's this beautiful creature? Bradley, why are you trying to hide all the beautiful people in your life from me?"

Everybody's laughing and it's like Bradley's eight again when Carole used the den to organise him birthday parties he wasn't supposed to know anything about.

But now he's thirty-eight and his mom is dead more years than she was alive and the people around him are his family in the way his uncles are and-and Bradley wants to lie in the sun and let himself feel something that's not anger for once.

And apparently everybody has the same idea because he can finish the thought that eleven other bodies cuddle around him and he loses the count of hands that are touching, patting, and massaging him, but it feels so good that he doesn't want to be anywhere else. Lady Carole curls on his stomach, the door opens, and soft steps are followed by the smell of warm cider and biscuits. Before falling asleep, he hears Mav and Ice on the sofa, softly conversing with Halo.

[sowthetide]

I saw the words If, Joffrey and Girl, in your previous ask and immidietly thought of And bless the daughter but fuck the family by dwellingondreams on ao32 that I read recently. And it was CRAZY GOOD??! The Joanna-Cersei interactions goes so hard. Especially with the whole younger more beautiful queen thing taking all she holds dear thing I just know internally Cersei’s probaly like ‘That’s Oomf but I low-key hate her 😭😭’

And I have yet to find a good genderbend Jon fic myself 1) Most of them are not my taste writing wise and 2) Those that I think ARE well written have Jon like you said act like a feisty she-dragon-wolf hot maiden who is hot or she’s just an object of desires for the men around her and by around her I mean any living man in Planetos ( i once remember reading a story where 14 years old girl!Jon was getting married to Oberyn and girl!Jon was thinking about how she didn’t need to shave because she had found or made a salve that dissolved all her body hair?? FORVER!!! and I was like ???? Then I continued reading of course ) And I have nothing against exploring incest in fiction ESPECIALLY in asoiaf like bear found on bear island…. But the girl!Jon/Robb thing doesn’t really hit because I think gay incest will always be better than straight incest,,,,Exemples : Aegon and Orys. Aenys and Maegor. Aemon and Baelon. Rhaena and Baela. The maiden vault girlies during the later years #keepingitlegal. Aemon The Dragonknight and Aeg-[GUNSHOT]. Umm what was i talking about again??

I totally agree that for a genderbend to stick the character should still have at least trace of what their original gender counterpart has like why is Fem!Jon not sulking , throwing little tantrums, being conflicted and feeling guilty every waking hour of the day :( like please make her a little bit emo please please please-

For ME! for a genderbend story to HIT, the character getting bended must have a 1) An Interesting and Very Fucked connection to BOTH parents that the gender thing can only worsen and 2) Also a Also Very Fucked Not Good Kinda Bad What’s Wrong With You relation to their gender and patriarchal norms in Westeros. Again, it’s asoiaf so it doesn’t really narrow it down that much( Mommy/ Daddy issues + not seeing women as people? That’s every bitch like ??) but I’m going on the basis that u understand my vision of like : Jon = decent/good. Theon,Joffrey,Maegor = GO CRAZY GO STUPID€/&/@1@

(Also genderbends only work on way for me because why would I turn a woman 🥰 into a man 😐)

Just read "And bless the daughter but fuck the family" and uhhh... 😵‍💫 Okay okay okay. Perfectly insane genderbend. Give it a read, y'all (and tbh all of dwellordreams' fics go crazy, so check 'em out!)

Warning: mean opinions incoming. I'm a nice person usually I swear, I just also enjoy hating sometimes. Firstly, I agree that most Jon genderbends blow ass. Oftentimes, "Jon" just seems like a female author self-insert for someone who thinks Sansa is too girly/lame. Which I wouldn't generally have a problem with (we're all just here for a good time, and one man's unbearable cringe is another man's life-changing magnum opus), but it makes it hard to find genderbends that do interesting things with the actual character, rather than just inventing a female OC and calling it Jon.

"i once remember reading a story where 14 years old girl!Jon was getting married to Oberyn and girl!Jon was thinking about how she didn’t need to shave because she had found or made a salve that dissolved all her body hair?? FORVER!!! and I was like ????"

Oh my god lmaoooo. Beyond the ridiculousness of that, modern values in ASOIAF fics is more than a pet peeve to me, it's like a... man-eating tiger peeve. For instance, I quite like "Adjust For The Wind", as it's what inspired me to write Sow the Tide, but it also has a bizarre bit about women shaving their legs & genitals. Like:

Southern ladies are expected to remove all hair from between their legs.

&

“If you decide to groom between your legs using a razor or a knife, practice on your legs first. You can also use walnut oil, or bandages soaked in ammonia in a pinch.” Theon frowned. “I… see,” he parroted Mordane’s words. “And what do I use to keep myself clean… um, down there?”

Like literally what the fuck are you talking about lmao. To say that this took me out of the fic would be an understatement. I was so bothered by this that I tried to find actual published sources, but there didn't seem to be any particularly strong answers (besides that shaved genitals were more common among prostitutes). Also, for anyone reading, you do NOT need to clean inside your vagina, and your vulva (outside your vagina) should only be cleaned with warm water and a gentle soap if necessary. A strange place for me to make this point, but I'm making it.

I also tried a Jon genderbend fic recently, except fem!Jon had purple eyes and didn't look like Ned at all??? Despite that being a critical aspect of Jon's appearance??? I was just so completely flabbergasted because this author changed almost everything about Jon's appearance and personality, but somehow it's still supposedly Jon??? Like that's literally just an OC. Worse, of all things to keep, they stuck with Jon's canon age of 14 in a fic based around a romance with a 22-year-old man (Willas Tyrell). Maybe it's just because I'm 22 myself, but my immediate reaction was literally: "hm. I think Willas should be beaten to death." Like the fic itself felt tantamount to character assassination of Willas 😭 I was even bitching about this (wildly popular) fic on Discord:

I just hope to god the fic writer was a teenager, otherwise it seems like they just took GRRM's creepy handling of young characters like Dany at face value. Westeros obviously has different values, but it's concerning when the author themself seems to buy into those pedophilic standards.

GAY INCEST WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN STRAIGHT INCEST!!!!!!!!! 🗣️

lmaooooo. Also: "genderbends only work on way for me because why would I turn a woman 🥰 into a man 😐" <- REAL SHIT!!!!!!! You had me cracking up with that one.

Also also: "Aemon The Dragonknight and Aegon" SAY THAT!!!!!!!

Seriously. Let fem!Jon be a sulky, prickly, angry, kind, self-important little emo. Let fem!Theon be an ambitious, vain, insecure, proud, also self-important little bitch. A complicated relationship with one's parents is a plus, and a complicated relationship with Gender is a MUST! Bonus points if they're a crazy bitch in canon (Theon, Joffrey, Maegor, as you point out)!!! I've currently been thinking about fem!Maegor ngl... 👀

Anyway, thank you for dropping in. I'm probably gonna end up making a fun haterism server with goddcoward and some other homies, in addition to the more chill Quen sever. If that comes to fruition, join us in the silly complaint circle!
