normal brained: haha Al is enby because gender is a performance and he's a showy guy!!
galaxy brain: Alastor is agender because he's an anarchist who hates the status quo, and gender is just another form of capitalism and colonialism, two things that directly hurt him and his mother. He's also hyperaware of how necessary his masculinity was as a mixed black person trying to get by with passing as white, and his failure to perform his gender would've resulted in more social punishment then he was already dealing with with being mixed AND asexual. When in reality his sense of gender is more or less just as meaningful or necessary as his hair color, now that he doesn't have all those stessers hurting him. Fuck you, I'm he/him woman-ing that fucking deer

the group chat getting silly with it has fundamentally altered my brain chemistry and decimated the plot of the followup to that oneshot i posted a while back.
"i'm sorry about your years-long friendship that's exploding in spectacular fashion over accusations of your bestie's dad being a murderer. making out about it can't hurt, right?"
i should not have to say this but i'm going to anyway: may's an adult.

Macaque was impersonating Red Boy all those years ago, resulting in him getting forced into becoming Guayin's disciple.
The palace of Lion Camel Ridge was usually quiet at night. At this time, the trio of kings would be off in their rooms, doing their own things until sleep or morning came. It was a routine that had been set for over five hundred years.
Tonight, however, was different.
Another array arranged itself around the screaming babe, dulling down the flames but not the heat. Azure Lion was the only one brave enough to stand close to Demon Bull Prince Red Son, studying the half-blood. He tsked. "He barely resembles him. Are you sure the rumors of Jade aren't true?"
"I did the tests, just to be sure," Yellowtusk said, huddling away from the baby with scrolls. Ever since the child had arrived to the mountain, his screams and cries hadn't died down, and neither had the Samadhi fir. "He is the son of Bull and Princess Iron Fan."
A growl leaked from Azure. It was still a twist of the knife, Bull's abandonment of their crusade, in the news of Sun Wukong's return to the world. The plan to kidnap Bull's child was a hasty one, but one that would work out.
He was sure of it.
Wings flapping alerted the two kings to the arrival of the third.
"Macaque has been captured," Peng reported, their wings shrinking down. "They got to the ceremony site and realized their mistake there. He is now in the custody of Bodhisattva Guanyin, supposedly to atone."
"There is little we can do for him right now," Azure huffed. A thought sparked to life. "Has he told where the child is?"
"No," Peng rolled their eyes and stepped closer to Red Boy, who's wails had died down. Now he just looked grumpy. "One good thing about that simian, he can keep his mouth shut. Although that might just be because Wukong was there."
A flick of his tail was Azure's only reaction to the name long cast in evil at Camel Ridge. "We have our weapon then," he said, gesturing to Yellowtusk. The ball of arrays lowered with Red Boy, sinking into Azure's hands, allowing him and the grumpy toddler to eye each other. "Since Bull has become soft, we will raise this child into his full potential and then claim victory for ourselves."
At the news, Red Boy sneezed out a mixture of blood and flame.

For some reason i get the will to write just as I'm about to sleep so here's some snippets from the new wips i started ig
Another steam filled vent escaped him, the light blindfold almost heavy on his faceplates.
Though, considering how his audials and optical sensors were previously disabled, it was merely symbolic of Starscream's control over him.
He sucked in a breath as her talons traced a line on his wings, the sensation still so new to him.
Megatron could feel another pearl of lubricant trailing down his thigh.

The dulled scalpel trailed up Tarn's neck, all the way up to his mask, as Pharma stared down at the kneeling mech.
Clicks, pops, and groans emerged from his manually deactivated vocalizer, the two of them unwilling to take the risk. In Pharma's opinion, the mech's voice is just as pretty like this
~~~~
Tarn looked up at the blue and purple mech, a self proclaimed autobot, their red optics meeting
It did not take Tarn long to learn their universes had very, very different definitions of autobot and Decepticon.
In fact, if you had asked Tarn he would say this version of Optimus better resembled the most stereotypical of Decepticon depictions in those salacious novels about interfaction relationships. Not that he ever read them, of course. Definitely.
~~~~
Megatronus moaned roughly against his lover, his helm tucked tightly under the larger mech's own.
Shockwave merely huffed, not wasting any time on affection in favor of pushing the mech against the wall more in order to gain a better angle.
~~~~
"are you sure? Sure-sure?"
"I'm fully sure, dude! I appresh— apreshhh, fuck it. I like your concern, shows me you're a good guy."
"just saying, typically I'd be pissed if someone pulls this scrap on me..."
"then take this as a way to flip the desk!"
"do you mean turn the tables"
"sorry, inside joke from the office. Can you please frag me now? Pretty please???"
~~~~
They will never admit they missed this dynamic, how Megatron enjoys how Optimus has grown more bold since the last time they interfaced, before the war.
Though, this wasn't the air of two young lovers fooling around under the stars.
This was a display of dominance.
