#I feel like I need to elaborate: shapeshifters by their nature call gender to question so it makes sense for them to be genderqueer

[sobeksewerrat]

OKAY OKAY @cosmozzzz @cringelordofchaos @roryheart YOU GUYS WANTED ME TO INFODUMP ABOUT THE SILLY GUYS SO I WILL (w/o spoilers for the story and also their gach versions cuz why not) (imma split this up cuz I am tired and need to polish some.shit)

Huches:

This girlie <333

Full name: Huches Karkovedes

Species (yes species you will understand ina moment): Star-Eater, Luvusia Tribe.

Social Class on her home planet: Aristocratic

Gender: Transgirl (felt the need to specify that she is trans since it is a relevant plot point in her backstory)

Sexuality: Androsexual

Partner?: Gerses!

Special Abilities: Shape-shifting (artificial using device, not inherited)

Funfact: she absolutely hated sleeves unless they are jackets. Don't ask why. She just hates sleeves.

Simplified backstory: Huches was born as the only "son" to an aristocratic family on planet [UndecidedName]. Her family was part of the Luvusia Tribe but they distanced themselves from all of the traditions to suck up to Earth politicians and gave Huches an English first name and gave her a shape-shifting device to study on Earth (in this universe Earth is the central power).

Eventually, in one of her few holidays on her home planet, she is kinda forced to stay in the countryside and meets Kutuku and Gerses. A lot of shit goes down over the course of that holiday and she gets her trans-awakening and starts trying to reconnect with her culture (but she still feels very disconnected)

Gerses:

His gacha version sucks oml

Full name: Gerses Haunem

Species: Star-Eater, Teifuaa Tribe

Social Class: working class (though eventually he gets some privileges cuz rich sugar mommy girlfriend)

Gender: Non-binary (he/they)

Sexuality: unlabeled

Partner?: Huches!

Special Abilities: Shape-shifting (artificial)

Funfact: He is autistic! And also they like funky fashion and temporary tattoos (mainly cuz he ain't allowed to have permanent ones)

Simplified backstory:(tw//ableism, abuse) He is a very distant relative of Kutuku and his family was also struggling as a result of [SPOILER]. He was generally seen as useless because he couldn't help around his family's business and his mother usually berated him when he had breakdowns or anything (because he was undiagnosed for his entire childhood) which lead to him being selectively-mute.

Eventually, he starts befriending his distant cousin Kutuku and started dating Huches. Because of Ku's family (elaboration will be added) and Huches' shapeshifting device he was able to eventually go to Earth with them to study and his family stopped seeing him as useless because of that (he still hates them)

MARKO/MARKUS:

No gacha version he is the silly short guy with goblin ears

Full name: Marko Daniella (he likes being called Markus tho, Daniella isn't hid last name I going by the Egyptian naming system, only Huches uses her family name)

Species: Human-Rovan

[Not including a social class I only did for the other two due to the classist nature of their home planets WHICH WILL BE ELABORATED ON EVENTUALLY I SWEAR]

Gender: Questioning

Sexuality: achillean, asexual

Partner?: Taifuauu [he will be introduced later alongside Kutuku]

Special Abilities: Heat Vision (inherited, controlled), great hearing

Funfact: He is black albino, and he has a generally weak immune system and anaemia due to being a hybrid [he is my punching bag btw ilovehim]

Simplified Backstory: this shit cannot be simplified honestly I made him suffer too much

I wanted to introduce the 4ht character(Ashlene) aswell but I need to draw he other 4 (Kam, Ku, Tai and Jaida'a) before because the tie into her story a lot

[oh-hush-its-perfect]

Making a shapeshifting character genderqueer is not bad! But making your only genderqueer character a shapeshifter is a poor choice.

#this is mostly about Alex Fierro b/c this is pretty much a Riordanverse blog but it's also about the MCU's Loki #AND Double Trouble from She-Ra! Who should not be She-Ra's only gnc character considering the show's creator is herself nonbinary! #Alex Fierro #Don't worry I AM still an Alex Fierro stan. Just mad at RR #RR crit #MCGA #Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard #MCATGOA #I feel like I need to elaborate: shapeshifters by their nature call gender to question so it makes sense for them to be genderqueer #BUT if they are the ONLY gnc character #it may indicate a kind of transmedicalism on the author's part #or in the MCU's Loki's case #it can be an attempt to draw in LGBT+ viewers and earn sj brownie points. which is really disingenuous and cruel.
