“Were you close?” Saria asks. A simple curiosity, but one that gives Zelda pause. Were they close? Not with Zelda, certainly. Their meetings had been fleeting, driven by the futile urgency to stop Ganondorf’s plans before they came to fruition. With Sheik, then? They had run into each other more often, even though those moments had been brief as well.  “I think we could have been.” Harp in hand, Sheik sits down next to Saria and plucks out a melody that resolves itself into the Song of Time. A wish, perhaps. Link may not quite have been a friend, but he was one of the only people who knew. “I think he might have understood.”
My fic for @sheikzine, with incredible spot art from @lordsooga! I'm really happy with how this one came out, and it gave me the chance to write an interpretation that's near and dear to me.

listen. tenzin sounds pretty mean in this scene.
in her defense, she's known edgar was trans for over twenty years and had to have been especially exhausted when they met and she realized he was drugged into forgetting. and my dear dear genderless guy has been ignoring every goddamned crack in his egg.
she knows he's trans. literally everyone else in town knows he's trans. edgar had a person look him in the eye and say "oh is this because you're trans" and he didn't do more than narrow his eyes and think man i wonder why they said that.
edgar is brave. he is loving. he is an amazing chef. the boy does not understand shit about gender identity and barely anything about sexuality, and he is tired.
also i'll be referring to edgar more solidly with they/them pronouns soon. he hasn't fully made the shift yet and if i start now i'll get it in my head and it'll fuck up my flow. but he's about to learn about the gender spectrum and his brain is going to explode.
see i knew i'd find out what to write today!

hello ! i need some advice on how to write a genderless character !
id love to hear from agender and adjacent people on how your (lack of) gender impacts how you see the world , those around you, and yourself. really any information on the genderless experiencs would be highly appreciated. im nonbinary myself, but im not agender so id love to hear from other people
-
more info on the character;
uses she/her pronouns. otherworldly spirit from another realm, she has no concept of gender. she cant remember the other realm, so she has nothing to compare humans concept of gender to. presents feminine, uses she/her, just cause its in her personality. presents as a cis woman for safety reasons

That one post™ I read recently about being transfem gays and transmasc lesbians got me thinking about gender and sexuality and mine specifically and just... I have so many thoughts and feelings about this.
So many queers assume gender to be this: woman, man or non binary (assumed to mean agender). Yet, so many of us just don't fit into that at all. I know it's not out of malice too, and sometimes we even do know that it's not that simple and try to include bigender, gender fluid, etc in that, but even so, we always go back to assumptions; to a set bias of binary of which we struggle to undo the rules we've set in our own heads and perspectives.
Suddenly, we have limits of which do exclude other queers and even sometimes ourselves, we have hypocritical definitions and fall into a habit of drawing lines around what is This and what is That. And I get it; we want to know ourselves better, to word our experiences more exactly and describe to those around us what it's like to live as someone like us. But here's the thing; that's always not going to be 100% possible. There's always going to be differences and variation even within the same definitions and labels. No matter how similar we may be in regards to a shared experiences and shared struggles, there'll always be exceptions.
Gender and sexuality are like that. I'll expand on this below:
For those who are not transgender or who just generally struggle with this topic and don't know much about it, here's an outline:
Gender identity is, in a very general sense, one's perception of their identity as a person; it's that question of who they are and what they want to be referred to and seen as. For example, if you go up to a cis lady and start making her out to be a man simply because she has short hair, she'd get offended, right? Same case with transgender people, if you start pointing at their chest or at a beard or something like that and start assigning an identity that doesn't align with who they are, they'd get offended for the same exact reason; because they are [insert gender] regardless of appearance.
Now, with that understood, I'll continue with this discussion of sexuality, mine specifically, and then move onto my gender and it's lack of conformity.
I'm bisexual; I'm attracted to all genders, all sexes, all everythings. In fact, more so than most people I know, I have a very diverse range of things I'm into and attracted to. But not every bisexual person is like that. Some bisexual people like only certain things and some only like specific genders. We all have our own different preferences and no two people will have the exact same sexuality; because we are all unique in what we like. And even in saying that for myself, this was a journey of discovery after spending years as asexual, then a lesbian, then a heterosexual man, then someone who used both straight and lesbian to describe by love of women as someone whose gender was indistinct and now as bisexual having now realised I do love men and other genders as well. All throughout this process, I was surrounded by a community, one I still feel very connected to and have some overlap with as well. It's interesting and beautiful how these people both differ from me and yet how also similar we still are, even now.
Sexualities are here, as terms, to help us find more people who are similar; to find solidarity in a shared experience. However, it isn't to find those exactly the same because, see, that just doesn't exist. That's why lesbian and gay can actually have some overlap, that's why woman and man aren't opposites, that's why gender isn't this "one or the other" thing; because experience is far too varied to ever be narrowed down to such a degree. It's always going to be general; an inexact estimate of similarities that more or less fit a vague definition.
My gender on the other hand? Now that's even more complicated. As I said before, most assume it's a "one or the other" deal, even with non binary in the mix, but the thing is that these terms are general; they are vague and can overlap. I'm a trans man, but I'm also non binary. I am a man, and sometimes I want to be perceived as the same as a cis man, but not always. This also is something that means I may fit under being gender fluid. However, on top of that, I am more often than not two or more things at once. I'm a man, but I also see myself as a butch lady at the same time. This also fits under the definition of being bigender. Yet, on top of that? There are also times when I just feel removed from gender identity as a thing all together. This also fits with agender.
Now, for those who may not be so familiar with all these terms I'm throwing around, I'm essentially saying my identity in regards to the question "are you a man or woman" or even "so are you neither" is very fluid, but it's also both and sometimes even neither or all of the above. The hard thing is this; we have this pre-established subconscious bias that these things are all opposites, that there's a definitive line that divides them. However, in my own experience, this just doesn't apply to everyone and especially not to me who struggles to know where I'd even begin to draw such a line for myself. Woman and man are simply not opposites to me because I am something that overlaps. I'm a man, 100%, not leaning or "a bit"; I am absolutely, entirely a boy. However, my gender would be something that shifts to the same as, say, a he/him lesbian that may not feel that they are a man per se. The difference is I'm both, and many lesbians and trans men do fit into that both category and have throughout history. Take Leslie Feinberg for instance, the author of Stone Butch Blues. Or the various other cases of butch lesbians and trans men overlapping in history or being mistaken for one another. There is a blurred region that can't be asked or told "oh but which are you" or even "so you're neither" because, at least in my case, I am both. I am 100% of both and it would be inaccurate and a lie to say I am neither, as much as it would be inaccurate or a lie to say I'm one of the other.
And you know what? It's okay if we don't understand what that means or where that fits. It's okay if all of what I said about myself has confused the living hell out of you. You don't need to understand me just like I don't need to understand you or anyone else to simply coexist and respect that we're going to have different preferences and views. I'll never know what it's like to be entirely in a binary, to be able to conform because I am simply unable to if I am to truely be myself and allow whatever that is to just exist. I also don't even necessarily have to understand it, as long I allow myself to exist.
I could honestly go on and on about sexuality, gender, romance, self identity and overall the value of finding community while also loving the value of one's own uniqueness, but I'll settle with this for now. All I'll say in regards to that is that this all also applies to being aromantic, demisexual, demigirl/boy, omnisexual, polysexual, xenogenders, pansexual and many, many other terms. These are all simply here to better understand ourselves and create more understanding of experiences that may no fit into other pre-existing terms. That's awesome and something to embrace. You don't even necessarily have to worry about understanding these or remembering them all. At the end of the day, these people are all simply fellow queers and define themselves in a range of both different or similar ways to the more well known sexualities and orientations, stretching back to heterosexuality and the norm of cisgender experiences. These are all simply terms to describe the differences between each of these lived experiences; all these different people in different terms aren't so different from you and you aren't so different to them.
But I digress, the point here is that regardless of gender or sexuality, nothing is set in stone and nothing can truly all be defined with one single definition. No matter how rigid the definition, no matter who is excluded or included, no matter how much it fits you or someone else, it won't fit everyone perfectly and there'll always be differences even within those labels. That's a fact of life and the beauty of it. It's part of why I am protective of the word queer and gay; a word that means different and a word that means happy. Because to live as truely to yourself as possible, enjoy the splendor of those little quirks and unique bits to yourself, to fall in love with yourself regardless of if you're the same or completely different or what or who you are? That's beautiful and wonderful. It's something to be proud of and celebrated. And it's something I wish for all of us to be able to one day appreciate; falling in love with ourselves and our unique existences.

one of my greatest anxieties as a writer comes from the number of times i've heard someone accuse a writer of being unable to write a certain gender
especially since i've seen this accusation leveled at authors who i like, and whose characters (of all genders!) i like. and usually the reason i like them is that they read less as "female character" and more as just... "character." like, the author isn't throwing arbitrary feminine characteristics at this person, they're just letting her exist as a woman.
i don't understand gender. i don't. so i am going to write my characters as people to the best of my ability. and you can know that in my character profile sheets, even if the character is ostensibly cis, i have an entire paragraph for their gender. and if anyone ever says i can't write men/women, please know that i have given up on trying to.

Get to know me!
My name's Bellamie, and my pronouns are they/them. I generally go unlabelled in terms of gender/sexuality, but others would likely refer to me as asexual/panromantic and agender.
Topics that may (or will) come up on this blog;
Magnus Archives (evidently, this is my main one)
Ao3 and general writer stuff
Queerness
Mental health
🎶Music🎶
school :(
Poetry (a side hobby of mine, I have a poetry blog that's mostly inactive @anthology-enthusiast. Annoyingly, it's also my primary blog)
A note on my personality; in terms of TMA characters, I desperately aspire to be like Martin K Blackwood. I drink an unhealthy amount of tea, desperately try (and severely fail) to please people, and have been told I give good hugs (though, like Martin, this is likely because I'm not exactly the smallest guy in the world)
I write Magnus Archives fics on ao3, and try to upload them here as well (or at the very least, upload links). I typically write hurt/comfort or stand-alone statement fics. Find me on ao3 as x_altiora.
I'm open to questions/asks/short fic requests, so hmu in asks or dms for anything! I'm also currently open to beta reading fics, though I will only be able to edit grammar/language/conciseness outside of TMA stuff.
That's all for now,
Bellamie

Edgar Gallows is done with magic.
He left it behind when he left the Academy, a deep-rooted institution where anyone can dedicate their lives to tapping into the source of magic - and all the pain that brings. Now he's found himself a quiet life in nearby New Orleans where he can focus on staying alive, pretty much alone, and relatively happy.
Scott Skylark Kaufner is losing his mind - literally.
Since being born a birthright with innate magic, he has had a dark and screaming void desperate to take over his body. A powerful madness that will render him unstoppable for as long as he is separated from the other half of the soul bond he was born into. Every day the cosmic oil spill swallows up more and more of himself, and there's nothing he can do but keep travelling from town to town and looking for an indistinct figure he only knows as Eddie.
Edgar and Scott cross paths in the dirty walk-in of NOLA tourist trap. But this has happened before, hasn't it?
Something about this
feels
familiar.
A tender asexual romance with eldritch undertones. Mental health representation and an intersex lead. Love both romantic and platonic and familial. Intense food service specifics. Jim Jarmusch meets Satoshi Kon meets The Mountain Goats meets most lighter shades of green and yellow.
Blind Trust! Out June 20th!

An aroace Autistic author blog
Hi, everyone! I thought I'd officially introduce myself and my blog. I'm Kristiana (they/them), and I'm an aromantic (demi), asexual, agender, aplatonic (demi), Autistic author -- so if you hear me screaming "AAAAAA!" now you know why!
My blog is focused on celebrating my unique communities, so you'll see lots of aspec and neurodivergent content, from memes to helpful infographics and musings.
And also some stuff about my books and what it's like being an author with my many unique identities and experiences!
My fantasy series is called The Stormwatch Diaries, and I think fans of Neil Gaiman, Doctor Who, and The Owl House would love it. It features two teenage aroace protagonists named Rose and Marek who are in a QPR and are legend seekers, part-time ghost hunters, and time travelers. And ever since I found out I'm autistic, I suspect my characters are neurodivergent well!
Thanks for reading! I hope you check out my blog and say hi!

~Intro post~
Tumblr media
Welcome
I post mostly Palestine, grishaverse, writing, and queer content and some art occasionally
I have lots of opinions and zero filter, and I thoroughly enjoy sparking a challenging discussion, so I post lots of controversial opinions and hot takes that people seem to have an issue with, so consider yourself warned.
And if you disagree with my opinions that is perfectly fine you can simply keep scrolling. Or if you want to have a nice discussion I would gladly welcome that, just don't come onto my posts and tell me my head canons and opinions are wrong and your's are the only valid ones. That's gatekeeping and we do not do that in this house.
• Things about me •
My name is Kassel, my pronouns are ze/zem/zeirs/zemself
I'm Bigender, aroace, aplatonic, and confused ... about labels and most other things
• Things I do •
Writing, mostly fanfics at this point but I have ideas I'm just ... not doing a single thing about them
Drawing
Ranting
Fighting bitches
I am not here for Zionism, homophobia, transphobia, racism, antisemitism, ableism, or any of the other things and I will fight anyone and everyone over it, so if you're any of those things don't follow me
This is a safe space for anyone else who isn't those things
