#getting backlash when i say ‘this is my hc for this character and their gender/sexuality’

[mabaris]

When I say that I wish Morrigan was a lesbian, I don’t just mean that I wish she was romanceable by a female warden (GOD. I absolutely do tho). That's half, but the other half of that is that she feels like the perfect opportunity for a story about compulsory heterosexuality, and that's just as important to it.

She talks a lot about how she was sheltered and has little to no firsthand experience of the world. She knows only what she’s seen and what Flemeth has told her, but part of her journey centers around realizing that Flemeth is not always right, and that there's more to life that her mother could never have told her about. (The grimoire, sure, Flemeth would never have shared with her. But what really stands out to me is that when you gain her friendship, it's something she never anticipated. Because Flemeth taught her there was no point in that kind of relationship, and she believed it unquestioningly.)

Morrigan is no stranger to sexuality (because, well, she says that she's seen her mother bring men home), but it stands to reason that she has very little idea of how it relates to herself. If she has any experience at all up to this point, it's in a similar fashion: seducing people for her own benefit, ie intentionally manipulating them, generally so she can save her own skin (and thanks to the fact that the devs forgot to put female templars in the first game :) it’s implied that these have to have been men)

(And with a male warden who tries to romance her, she says that initially she was planning on doing the same to him: she strung him along because it served her goals, and she wasn’t expecting to actually develop feelings for him in return. She wants to create an old god baby, and she needs him to be the sperm donor. That's it.)

She knows only what she's seen from her mother (or what she can reasonably deduce by herself. She knows how babies are made). She thinks things like love and romance are foolish, and Not For People Like Her, so it makes perfect sense that, in her mind, having sex with men would be one of those things that you're just supposed to do. Even if you get no pleasure from it. Even if it disgusts you. Because you should feel nothing for the other person—otherwise, you're weak and naive.

But I'm enamored with the idea of Morrigan who still doesn’t have experience with friendship or love, who plans on seducing the male warden (which, in this situation, would be Alistair, until she realizes he’s too infuriating lol) because she has the same endgoal. But in the meantime, she makes her first real friend in a female warden, and doesn’t know how to explain things because she doesn’t have any frame of reference for what platonic friendship is supposed to feel like, but surely this can’t be right.

Just like in her romance as it’s currently written, she doesn’t know how to handle serious feelings, and she definitely wouldn’t know how to handle romantic or sexual feelings for someone who isn’t a man. That isn’t one of the things she knew could happen. It's unique because in this case, it's not comp het from society, because she doesn't participate in one. It doesn't stem from any kind of malice or ingrained bias.

It's the blind spot you don't even realize you have, in the same way that she has no reason to know what a flamingo is because she grew up in a bog. It's just the result of being sheltered.

#dragon age #morrigan dragon age #like. i can’t very well say ‘no one is writing meta abt morrigan’ when i won’t say my thing #pls be nice this is just my opinion #this is actually so important to me tho and like. absolutely crucial to the way i approach her #i’ve always been afraid to say something bc i’ve just had Bad times in other places #getting backlash when i say ‘this is my hc for this character and their gender/sexuality’ #i’m just here to have a good time and sometimes having a good time means avoiding the thing i want to say #idk whenever i post the meme i’ve made. the john mulaney raising his hand i think emily dickinson was a lesbian #ppl have always gone ‘yeah shes BI for sure’ #and look i don’t want to step on ppls hcs or make it seem like i’m trying to erase bi people by saying she CANT like men if she likes women #but i'm not just saying that bc i want to romance her as a lady. there's more to it than that #i’m OBSESSED with her friendship with a female warden and it feels like such a better segue into romance than what we got #like. the first flirt line with her is the 'you’re very cute to ask so many questions'. SHE starts it. to deflect #and not to say there can Only be one but 'girl help I was flirting with you to save my own ass but then I caught feelings for real' #is kind of zevran’s thing too and imo it works better with him #I know this is an incredibly reductive way to look at it but it's kind of weird that that's the catalyst for 50% of the romances in the gam #also i’m just like. tired of the wicked temptress trope In General and idc that 'this is different bc she's not CoNvEnTiOnAlLy attractive' #now I. wouldn’t actually trust the writers to be able to do this well #especially considering all of the other problems I have with the writing in origins specifically lmao #i cant stand the sexism that's 'oops i know we invented this world from scratch but it still has to be there :) because uhhhhhhhhh–' #and this kind of involves playing along with that #GOD also the. every man wants to believe two things about a woman: that she's helpless and that she finds him attractive. lesbian behavior #mine #morrigan

Introduction + request guidelines

Currently not active!

Hiya!! This is RAWBIN, or just Robin. :-) This is my Undertale side-blog, but you can follow me on my main if you want to!

I’m 17 years old, so for now, no actual, and certainly not detailed, NSFW on this blog! ^^ There may be suggestive stuff, and there will DEFINITELY be sexual jokes, but I’ll tag anything too risqué as “NSFW”.

ANYWAYS, yeah. I’m non binary and go by all pronouns!! You can use gendered terms as slang, but don’t actually call me a girl or boy, please. :-)

I might edit this in the future, by the way! :-D

masterlist

anon list

REQUEST GUIDELINES:

I take requests for headcanons, short fics/drabbles, art and stuff like that. Just specify which of these you’re asking for when you send in a request, please!!

Also, my character limit for how many characters I will write for is... non-existent! I’ll take all and any of the ones listed below. Just know that the more characters, the more time it will take! (You can, in other words, request all skellies or, if you’re feeling spicy, you could say “dealer’s choice” and I’ll pick for you)

My requests are always open, but know that it might take me a while to respond. I’m pretty prone to headaches that prevent me from using a screen and I always have at least 5 ongoing projects simultaneously, so uh, like I said, it might take a while.

ALSO, if I don’t want to do your request for one reason or another, I’ll ignore it.

AUs I write for:

- Undertale (not an AU lol)

- Underswap

- Underfell

- Fellswap

- Horrortale

- Flowertale (not Flowerfell)

- Outertale

- Dancetale

Nicknames for characters:

UT Sans: Vanilla

UT Papyrus: Cinnamon

US Sans: Blue

US Papyrus: Stretch

UF Sans: Red

UF Papyrus: Edge

FS Sans: Mal

FS Papyrus: Rus

HT Sans: Dusk

HT Papyrus: Aster

OT Sans: Cosmic

OT Papyrus: Nova

DT Sans: Remix

DT Papyrus: Tango

FT Sans: Meadow

FT Papyrus: Peony

NEW: Gaster (No romantic HCs - only lore-related ones.)

WHAT I’M OKAY WITH WRITING:

- Sans/Papyrus x Reader

- The following AUs: Undertale (obviously), Underswap, Underfell, Swapfell, Horrortale - keep in mind that I like Underfell the least, for some reason.

- Vague sexual headcanons (”is this character a top, bottom or switch?”) so long as it’s vague. I’ll ignore anything that is just too much.

- Headcanons about pretty much any character in any of the AUs mentioned (but the x Reader stuff is exclusive to the skellies, sorry u fish-fuckers. In this house we’re skelly-fuckers)

- LGBTQ+ related stuff

- Gen stuff (non-romantic stuff)

- Angst & major/minor character death

- Violence in general

- Yandere-related stuff but only if the reader-insert is the yandere. Sorry, no yandere skeletons here.

WHAT I’M NOT OKAY WITH WRITING:

- Character x character ships (Undyne x Alphys being the exception!)

- Any “-cest” ships. Pls keep your Sancest, Papycest and Fontcest out of here that shit makes me uncomfortable as fuck

- Straight-up NSFW or smut

- Anything involving racism - I’m white and nowhere near equipped/educated enough to be saying suff about that

- OC x character 

- This one is kinda odd but, nothing where the the reader-insert is all flustered and shy. It makes me feel? idk? Not very good? So yeah, none of that please lol

- Needlessly gendered reader stuff? If you want, like, idk. Cuddle headcanons, you don’t need it to say “female reader” or “male reader”. Only times I see a need to gender the reader is if it’s a headcanon about a trans reader and how the characters would support them. (I won’t disregard your request just because you gender the reader, but I will ignore the gender part.) I want to keep the reader insert as ambiguous as possible so anybody can, you know, be inserted into the place of the reader lol

- Controversial stuff. Trying to stay away from those kinds of things right now because, if I handle something wrong, I will get backlash and I’m not in the mental state to be handling that atm.

That’s all! Have a lovely day~

Hiya!! This is Robinfire, but feel free to call me just Robin. :-) This is my MHA side-blog, but you can follow me on my main if you want to! I’m 16 years old, so for now, no actual, and certainly not detailed, NSFW on this blog! ^^ There may be suggestive stuff, and there will DEFINITELY be sexual jokes, but again, no NSFW. ANYWAYS, yeah.

Also, my character limit for how many characters I will write for per request is 5!

My requests are always open, but know that it might take me a while to respond. I’m pretty forgetful, easily distracted and I always have at least 5 ongoing projects simultaneously on top of my school-work, so uh, like I said, it might take a while.

- Most things honestly, if you're unsure you can always ask!! I have no triggers so dw about that :-)

WHAT I’M NOT OKAY WITH WRITING:

- Character x character ships

- Straight-up NSFW or smut

- Anything involving racism - I’m white and nowhere near equipped/educated enough to be saying suff about that

- Religion - I'm not religious

- Anything with your OCs, anything hyper-specific that defeats the purpose of a reader-insert

- This one is kinda odd but, nothing where the the reader-insert is all flustered and shy. No pushover readers either. It makes me feel? idk? Not very good? So yeah, none of that please lol

- Needlessly gendered reader stuff? If you want, like, idk. Cuddle headcanons, you don’t need it to say “female reader” or “male reader”.
