no but actually we are so serious about bigender aggressively outdoorsy very southern john. someone else write this so we don’t have to

#he crossdresses his first time because he’s home for summer break and has told his family about his boyfriend #and patsy goes “if you’re gay now can i paint your nails” and he goes uh. about that. i’m kind of. well. #she puts him in a skirt & she sees herself in a mirror and starts crying #and patsy’s like oh fuck this was not the plan i do not know how to comfort my older brother (sister??) what is going on #john eventually collects herself and apologizes for getting emotional and she says. very awkwardly #”it’s fine i didn’t put eyeliner on you yet so it doesn’t matter” #john’s gonna be fine. he has a moment about it for a while but he grows into it during the rest of the summer #he neglects to tell alex about the gender stuff so there’s a while where he’s more open with his family than with his boyfriend #which feels like a bizarre joke. what world is he living in where his dad lets him wear a dress to dinner #but it’s nice! she’s doing okay #patsy will not let him borrow her clothes after the first time she gets potting soil on something. she gets very huffy and goes #“DAD we’re going to the MALL so my STUPID SISTER can’t RUIN MY THINGS ANYMORE” #and henry #with no idea how to break up Girl Fights #says “…be back for dinner” #(she forgives john like half an hour into buying him a new wardrobe)
