Any other LGBTQ+ Headcannons that are canon is the comic??;)
*patiently awaits Cupioromantic Donnie*
hmm... had to think about this for a while and talk about it with co-author, but here's what we got. we mostly base this stuff on how plausible it is in show/if there's evidence for it. with a dash of personal experience. This only applies to residuum, btw. I have different personal headcanons for these characters outside the comic.
april: lesbian. this is mostly based off of the fact that most aprils get with their caseys & the comment she said to dale. which could be taken as disinterest in dale specifically, but she seemed more concerned with impressing that popular girl earlier and that reads as more... saphic, i suppose. or at the very least homoromantic.
raph: raph is just raph. we look at him and basically just *tv static*. go crazy. all we got is jokes or stuff that has too little evidence to support. so, yeah, he's whatever you want him to be i guess?
leo: trans. already said my reason in the other post. also, gay. if gay were a power source he could power the entirety of the united states for five months straight without a single power outage. failing power grid notwithstanding (< thats the actual word. its supposed to be mushed together like that. wack.).
donnie: as much as i'd like him to be ace/aro spectrum rep, he just doesn't have the evidence in show for us to apply it to him in this comic. it's funny, for being hc as ace so often he sure is the most outwardly romantic/sexual turtle in the show lmao. one! cherry: "you're so cute, but you're so mean! why do i always go for your type?" two! astrogirl?? (whatever her name is) he is very very romantic with her. he has a type y'all. also just look at those two, he's a leg man lmao (bootyyshaker9000 anyone? ha!) anyway. and with the bromance/instant chemistry he had with that one guy in the purple dragons... Pan. or possibly Omni as he does seem to favor... cute brutal femme... Yeah. Omnisexual.
(you have no idea how fucking bad i want this boy to be ace spectrum. hes got the colors y'all!! The Colors!!!!! but alas... i am bound by my canon plausibility creed for this comic)
mikey: ace. possibly ace/aro. he shows interest in literally no-one. we're aware that the common hc is pan but... we know a pan 13 year old, and let me tell you ahahahaha, kids going through puberty are very uncomfortable to be around sometimes, especially around their partners. or crushes. and mikey... well, that boy is ace behavior personified lmao. aces in the back you get what we mean right?? right??? anyway commiting to aroace

Sol/Ky always confuses me. I understand how it works on a technical level, and I understand the base roots from which it ground itself in (rivalry m/m romance is well established). I think what always gets me about it is that I always thought that the majority of their relationship that they genuinely didn’t like each other.
It makes my brain staticky.
Anyway though, I can’t imagine Sol saying lover guy in a positive manner. Just thinking about it makes me feel like he’s being insulting towards anyone who he bestows it upon. Just call me an incel, Sol. I know that’s what you mean.
Oh yeah. Canon Sol and Ky, before Strive, would run out into traffic before doing something as familiar as hugging the other haha They LOATHED each other. Well, I think maybe Sol was just annoyed by Ky since Ky was this young punkass trying to be "righteous" and Ky was maybe a bit more antagonistic because Sol kept breaking rules (like stealing Fireseal) and was grating to be around for everyone, which then amped up to Sol also being antagonist towards Ky. They're both at fault. In any case, there was a small undercurrent of respect between them over the others' accomplishments and combat abilities, but overall it was like trying to mix oil and water. Utterly incompatible personalities. They're amicable now, but if circumstances played out differently I think it wouldn't have been outside the realm of possibility that one may have ended up actually killing the other.
That said, the ship likely became THEE m/m romance in Guilty Gear because Big Gruff Alt-Fashion Guy and Small Well-Kept Posh Man, on top of the rivalry thing as you said, is all some people need to ship characters together haha Guilty Gear's lore in general wasn't very deep until Overture dropped either, which left their relationship an open playground for fanworks. I can see how it took off and if the canon is removed from the equation I can see the appeal too, in a way. The canon makes it too uncomfortable for me though, and I think the deep layers of their rivalry makes their relationship more interesting than it would be as a romantic one.
They hate each other, but they respect each other, but they can't stand each other, but Ky trusts Sol enough to raise his kid, but Sol respects Ky in return enough to actually do it. Putting them into a mutually romantic relationship changes all of that. Of course Sol would look after Sin for Ky if he loves Ky, of course Ky would trust him to that degree if him and Sol had hooked up. You know?
The jokes about shipping them are funny because they hate each other so much. There's so much negative energy between them that it loops back around to being mildly homoerotic, and if they saw their relationship from an outside perspective and realized that that's how it looked, they'd lose their collective shit most gloriously. But actual, honest, homoerotic love between them? There's no way it's any deeper than the kinds of jokes long-term platonic friends make towards each other

(loudspeaker in hand, standing on a high surface) sleep token made a music video entirely about two women having sex without leaning into the male gaze. sleep token's choir (which includes a *woman of color*) has been with them since their very first album. sleep token recently put their choir in entirely new outfits (including masks which show the bottom half of their faces, corsets, and one of them in a sheer shirt with her cloak open). sleep token recently put their choir on a huge platform so the audience is forced to look at them. sleep token's bassist and guitarist, iii and iv respectively, regularly interact with the choir on stage. sleep token, a decently well known metalcore band, has a woman of color in it. vessel and iv from sleep token both regularly post and tag the choir on instagram

It's so hard to be an Adonis fab for real there's always racism, him getting sidelined in his own stories for other characters, his cards getting released at the same time as knights so no one pays attention to him and the knights cards are honestly better sometimes 😭😭😭 (not saying knights fans don't deserve it Im saying he should get high quality cards toooo)
Also I know rei is popular but sometimes undead feels like rei + his bitches like give the other boys time to shine without the reveal that rei is secretly manipulating everything

I've been seeing some gem fusions on tiktok, where two people fuse together to become a new being and I'm just imagining Des and Altaïr not wanting to seperate after fusing for a mission of smth
(sorry if this isn't your fandom but I had to say it before the thought disappeared (• ▽ •;))
I didn’t fully watch the series I think you’re talking about but I have seen some clips and a few episodes my friend showed me a long time ago so I have an idea of what you mean.
At first, I was thinking that this could be a severe Bleeding episode but bleeds are usually described as something that takes over the subject’s personality. What you’re suggesting is more of an assimilation of Altaïr’s personality to Desmond’s without overwriting Desmond’s.
In that case, may I interest you in this small fic?
Now, if you mean a full-on AU where Desmond is able to fuse with any of his ancestors at will, then things would be a bit different.
In this scenario, there is an easy reason why Desmond and Altaïr wouldn’t want to separate after perhaps a harrowing mission:
Loneliness.
I’ve touched upon how Desmond and Altaïr are quite similar to one another and an argument could be made that Altaïr is actually the ancestor that Desmond is most similar with.
Both were born and raised in a secluded Assassin ‘stronghold’
Both have been training as Assassins since they were children
Their father-figure (Al Mualim and William Miles) are high-ranking members of the Brotherhood who has high expectations of them
While differing in circumstances, they have a distant relationship with their parents and parental figures
They were raised by cold/distant parental figures in a place that may or may not have been militaristic as well
There is no explicit evidence that they had friends or any deep connections with anyone prior to the games (Abbas does not count as an argument can be made that the breaking of friendship only further isolated Altaïr and Kadar’s relationship with Altaïr before his death was ambiguous at best)
They have, at certain points in their life, contemplated the idea of running away from the Brotherhood
From this, we can make an argument that the main reason why Desmond and Altaïr would refuse to cancel their fusion would be because at this state, in this form, they are one and both at the same time. They share everything, further amplifying their loneliness while providing a ‘cure’ to it by the fact that they still keep their individuality in this form even if they are one.
In other words, they don’t have to be lonely anymore whenever they are in this form.
And, even if everyone was able to finally coax them out of canceling their fusion, the damage had already been done. Desmond and Altaïr would seek each other out, whether they fuse or not doesn’t matter. With a single fusion, they were able to understand one another more than anybody else they had fused with before. A deeper connection brought by the similarities of their upbringing and circumstances.
And that… is the beginning of what could either be a relationship they had craved for their entire life or could easily isolate them from others with an ‘us versus the world’ mentality.

‘noncon sex’ you mean rape? it’s not a problem to write it, but it should at the very least be tagged properly and referred to as such in warnings etc
i write noncon instead of rape bc that's one of the ways it's tagged on ao3 :)) also "noncon sex" and "rape" are synonymous, so it's tagged correctly!

Hey guys!
I'm still struggling to keep the queue for this blog active, and I've got two other art side blogs that I'm also struggling to keep active - @zhenhunartreblogs and @dmbjartreblogs. Neither fandom produces quite enough artwork to maintain a one-post-a-day rate, and I no longer have time to go hunting through art blogs trying to find old stuff.
With that in mind, I'm going to fold both side blogs into this one.
What that means short term is that I'll just start rebloging Zhenhun/Guardian and DMBJ/Daomu Biji/The Lost Tomb art to this blog instead of those.
Long term, I'll start reblogging the content in each of those side blogs to here, and deleting the posts there, until both are empty, and then I'll delete them. (Combined, they have about 3,000 posts).
Don't worry, I don't possibly have time to inundate this blog with all that content at once, and I'll work first on getting this queue stocked with a variety of fandoms so it doesn't just become suddenly "here are 500 reblogs of Shen Wei and Wu Xie."
Thanks for your patience, everyone!
-unforth
