i’ve been inspired by @gay-noodle-clan ‘s post and want to also share my own lgbtq mashle hcs!! i’ve spoken about them on here before but a lot of them have changed over time and it’s been a while so here!!!
Mash is 100% AroAce. I love seeing people ship him with Finn and others but in my heart I just cannot stray from the fact that he both entirely ignores Lemon’s advances and the fanbook saying that, when asked for his type, Mash answers "I'm not sure because I grew up in the woods" which, of course, could very well be interpreted Alloromantically, but I choose to believe in AroAce Mash supremacy forever
Lemon has so much love in her heart for everyone. Just because she has a crush on Mash doesn’t mean she can only have a crush on men. I refuse to believe her attraction is limited to only one gender. Pansexual queen!!!
Finn my beautiful TransMasc Unlabeled king. He was actually my first Mashle character to hc as trans, and it was definitely in part bc he reminds me of myself and I’m TransMasc :) Anyways though, him being Trans just makes a lot of sense for his character and behaviors, and adds more intricacies into his dynamic with Rayne which I think is fun. I also believe he’d not care too much about labeling his sexuality. He likes who he likes and that’s kind of all that matters to him.
Gay man. Not much more to say about that tbh. Conceptually I just can’t imagine him being romantically interested in a woman. It doesn’t feel right. I can also see Demiromantic in him but I’m not so inclined by it to officially add it to the list.
Dot is so Bisexual. I could also see Omni for him with a preference to women but in my heart i believe it’s actually equal attraction/no preference, but he’s so unbelievably dense he doesn’t realize it and just thinks all of those guys he can’t get out of his head is because he’s jealous and he hates them (also true, but he doesn’t notice that he has a crush on top of that).
Abel is very much so a Gay man. Similarly to Lance, I can’t really see him having any interest whatsoever in women. However, he DOES have interest in Abyss.
Abyss is both Gay and Gender Apathetic. He doesn’t really care about gender much. As an AMAB though, he’s inherently male aligned, but doesn’t personally have an attachment or interest with it. He doesn’t care if he’s referred to as a male, given he typically is, but if referred to femininely he wouldn’t mind either. He’s only attracted to men, and is fine with calling himself Gay despite the technicality of not being a male.
Love I actually used to hc as a Lesbian with CompHet, but I think Bisexuality fits her better. She’s just obsessed with people loving her, that doesn’t mean she’s not actually attracted to them at all. Anyways though, even though we only see her show attention towards men, that’s just bound to happen with a series with such a minimal female cast. I believe that not only would being romantic with a woman benefit her, it’s also likely for her to have that attraction alongside having it towards men. Also I just think her being TransFem fits her vibe and she gets euphoria from having men be attracted to her.
Rayne is a Gay man in the same way Lance is. I don’t really have anything to say about this one. It just kinda exists tbh.
I think estrogen would save her and I will die on that hill. It’s just such a real hc to me I forget she isn’t canonically a woman. You know how crazy it’s gonna be when she gets animated and everyone calls her a man?? It’s just not right!!!!!! Also, Omni was just kind of a vibe thing. I don’t have an explanation for that one. It just makes sense to me. Fem pref btw.
[I’m posting this on mobile and couldn’t include the picture due to the image limit, I’ll reblog with it in a second]
Cell is too queer vibed to not be queer. They are so NonBinary in my heart it’s actually crazy that they aren’t canonically NB like Margarette is. Also, they’re unlabeled sexuality-wise. Same as Finn, they like who they like and that’s kinda it.
That’s all! Happy Pride Month and thank you for reading, regardless of if you agree or disagree with what I have said here I’d love to hear your opinion! Also, I hope you enjoyed the images I chose for each character. I started with Mash’s because it was one of the first I saw in my camera roll and I thought it was funny, and decided to look for dumb looking ones for all of the others as well.
