Another goofy ask time!
If everyone on the crew were modern day internet influencers, what sort of content would they be making?
sorry this took 5 approximate forevers! (if y’all ever see my executive dysfunctioning no you don’t)
tysm for the ask! 💕
mal: handy diy hacks and tutorials for a variety of topics. because why the fuck is he gonna pay for anything he can do himself. he will teach you how to build a bookshelf and jumpstart or hotwire a car and paint your ceiling and pasteurize your own milk you can DO IT he BELIEVES IN U. really resents that he has to take ad deals for this to be a viable venture for him.
zoe: struggled with zoe so bad i’m so sorry zoe my love. i think what i’m landing on is athletics/physical challenge videos? it starts as a form of therapy exercise but she gets kinda big online? lots of rockclimbing and hiking and soccer and trying out those “impossible workout routines”. she likes showing people modifications they can do. her comment section is heavily moderated and she is NOT afraid to turn the option off bc it’s a privilege.
wash: based on my longstanding headcanon of wash as a music guy, music reviewer type! has an impressive vinyl collection. known for listening to ever kind if music that exists and his lasting love for weird al. has collaborations with the most RANDOM people.
inara: a little bit of beauty and a little bit of wellness, i think? makeup and perfume and lotion but also candles and tea. has a side channel where she does daily yoga vlogging. has this very elusive allure where people are so utterly enamored by her that they feel very personally attached even though she never says ANYTHING about her personal life!
jayne: guns. gun safety. aim training. antique guns. latest model reviews. would y’all be mad if i said i think he is well-known in the conservative-online community
book: cooking channel! he makes his favorite recipes and tries new things that people suggest and recounts stories from his travels, occasionally getting into spirituality mode. very known for being the kind of content that’s nice/comforting to fall asleep to.
simon: this man does not know work-life balance. medicine. debunking medical myths and general public education. some of those “real doctor reacts to [xyz]” videos. does a lot of sponsorship research and refuses to promote anything that makes unsubstantiated health claims. gets in into some internet beef over it with another influencer.
river: cryptic 4+ hour video essays where she never ever shows her face but they’re known for her voice captivating people. about just about anything you can name though mythology, literature, art, philosophy, and theoretical physics and its relationship to, well, everything are all common threads.
kaylee: repair videos!!! she likes fixing cars best but she will fix anything she can get her hands on that needs it and explain the process as best she can! it’s a niche-ish area of interest but the followers she does have are the kind to watch and comment on Everything, they’re just that dedicated. she likes it but sometimes feels a little boxed in bc she has other interests!! she meets inara who encourages her to explore those and she starts a fashiony channel - some of its reviews and some of its showing stuff she embroiders! then she and inara make out

Leopard seal selkie!Jaskier meeting Geralt follow up to your wonderful excerpt!
Jaskier naturally invites himself on whatever icy quest Geralt is on, cheerfully insisting he will be helpful. Geralt is deeply unconvinced, but the selkie is charmingly unafraid of him and would be useful in open water. Why not.
But it’s cold as hell. This is a frozen, stark environment, cold even for a Witcher. Jaskier doesn’t feel the cold even in his human form, he’s literally made for it, but he can see Geralt is suffering. Worried for his self-proclaimed new best friend, like it’s the most normal thing in the world, he leans in and ambushes Geralt with a kiss.
It gifts a little selkie magic, imperviousness to the cold. Jaskier thinks nothing of it—he promised he’d be helpful.
Geralt on the other hand is bamboozled and still buffering.
Selkies were an affectionate people. They lived in pods—close-knit families bound together by touch, companionship, and a deep sense of belonging.
As a selkie, Jaskier was no different.
He was open with his affection in a way Geralt had never encountered before. Jaskier thought nothing of sprawling across the deck of Geralt's boat, draping himself wherever he pleased. More often than not, that meant leaning against the witcher or using him as an especially grumpy pillow.
And then there were the kisses.
Jaskier handed them out with alarming ease.
A brush of lips against a cheek. The corner of a jaw. Once, directly on Geralt's mouth.
As though it were the most natural thing in the world.
"You looked cold," Jaskier explained with a bright smile after that particular incident. "It's an ability selkies have. We can share warmth through a kiss."
Geralt stared at him.
He was shocked.
Bamboozled.
Aghast.
Flabbergasted.
Stupefied.
Bemazed.
Baffled.
Entirely and completely unprepared.
Because Jaskier had just kissed him like it was no big deal.
As though he hadn't casually rearranged the entire structure of Geralt's thoughts with a single touch.
As though Geralt hadn't spent the last several minutes replaying it in excruciating detail.
As though Geralt wasn't suddenly, painfully aware of the shape of Jaskier's mouth.
Jaskier, meanwhile, had already moved on.
He was humming to himself, stretched across the deck with his tail hanging over the side of the boat, completely oblivious to the crisis he had created.
Geralt wanted to kiss him again.
Which was a problem.
A very large problem.
Because Jaskier clearly thought kisses were no more significant than handing someone a blanket.
And Geralt was beginning to suspect that, if Jaskier ever kissed him on purpose, he might actually stop functioning altogether.

Firefly identity headcanons: revisited
In honour of pride month I am going to #redux my Firefly identity headcanons, now that it's been about three quarters of a year, I've discussed the show more with other queer people who've seen it, and I've gotten more into the behind the scenes stuff.
Mal
Still bisexual. I think that's more or less implied canon, through "sly? No, no, I lean towards womenfolk". I assume what they meant to convey was that he's, like, chill about being read as gay, but that's not actually what they said, which I think stems from them not considering that people might actually read him as queer.
I'm adding trans man into the mix. I have a full post dedicated to that, but honestly I can't be assed scrolling far enough to find it, so I'll summarise here.
This is from the script for The Train Job. This combined with the reveal in Our Mrs Reynolds that he's worn dresses before, lead me to headcanon him as trans. I think he's on t and has had top surgery, but not bottom surgery, and I don't think he plans to get bottom surgery, which creates clashes with Jayne's rigid ideas of masculinity and manhood (said clashes exist in the show already, but I think it's fun to extrapolate on them from a trans perspective).
Zoë
My thoughts on Zoë have remained unchanged. She and Wash are in a bi4bi relationship. She identifies as a cis woman but at the end of the day she doesn't really care. She's greysexual. Actually I don't think that last one was in my original post that might be a new addition.
Wash
That man is NOT cis. The direction in which he's not cis is fairly ambiguous, I can see arguments for every trans identity, but I personally lean towards nonbinary, in the sense that his gender is whatever's funniest. His gender is The Bit. I think the important thing is that no matter what his gender identity is, his gender expression does not change in the slightest.
Also, as previously mentioned he's bisexual. Look at him.
Inara
Canonically bisexual, and I think there's room to say that demisexuality is also supported by canon, considering how much she emphasises the emotional connection with her clients.
I'd also say polyamory is sort of implied by her job, seeing as the whole deal is that she has multiple romantic and sexual partners at any given time. And I don't think she'd want to date someone who wasn't ok with an open relationship, because she wouldn't quit her job, so one of them would always be unhappy. This is one of two main sticking points that's stopping her from confessing to Kaylee, the other being how restrictive the Guild is (I really need to make a full post about that).
I think she's cis, but I could absolutely see a transfem interpretation, which could also be super interesting to explore the intersections between trans people and sex workers, especially as it pertains to the decriminalisation and government affiliated unionisation of the Guild compared to the lack of support on the Rim.
Jayne
The most consistent of my headcanons. Bisexual aromantic trans man. Has had both top surgery and bottom surgery. Is on testosterone but will NOT trust Simon with managing that. Basically, trying to be as cis as possible. Not necessarily stealth, but won't bring it up unless it's in an argument with Mal or an environment in which he's SUPER comfortable (yet to be seen on Serenity. Maybe with Book)
Kaylee
Lesbian. That's also her gender identity. But it takes her a while to figure that out, so I'd say for most of the show she's identifying as bisexual due to comphet. In my rewrite, the turning point comes through a conversation with Inara in The Message.
And I think she's demiromantic, because something about always wanting romance but never quite being able to make it click seems fitting to her character (which is me projecting) and the fact that I think she's in love with her best friend.
Simon
There is no universe in which that man is straight. If he's attracted to women he's bisexual. If he's exclusively attracted to women he's a lesbian.
There's an archivist on tiktok (@/butchboyfriend) who wears a lot of vintage fashion which then kind of masks the fact that he's actually jacked, and he describes himself as "transsexual twinkbutch", which I think would SO be Simon if he was trans.
As it stands, though, my main Simon Tam headcanon is gay, demisexual and demiromantic, cisgender. I think he's an incredibly supportive and well-meaning ally and he never says anything transphobic, but sometimes says things that carry unfortunate implications that he doesn't pick up on until they're pointed out (very in line with his canon struggles, if I do say so myself). Over time on Serenity he learns to recognise those implications, but he'll still occasionally find new ones popping up, and everyone on board knows him well enough to know that it's unintentional.
In terms of being gay, it's not necessarily implied by canon, but like... his struggles with Kaylee can definitely be read that way. Particularly, I didn't realise his "not with Kaylee" line was supposed to mean "we were drunk, I wouldn't do that to her", because what I heard was "I would never have sex with Kaylee". Some of that is for sure my literal thinking but I do think it was also written sort of clunkily to create the maximum miscommunication drama (which is my number one issue with the way saylee is written in the show. The way it's written through the eyes of my mutuals, however? Perfection). See also "tell me more good stuff about me!" "well, every other woman I know is either married, professional, or closely related to me, so, you're... more or less, you're literally the only girl in the world!"
And, quite frankly, if there's a non-zero amount of people who read his struggles with Kaylee as self-sabotage and use that to come to the conclusion that he's in love with his sister, I think it's more than reasonable for me to say that said self-sabotage is evidence of homosexuality. Not that I think anyone here is gonna call me unreasonable for that, I just hate that people seem to think incest is more likely than queerness. Anyway I digress.
River
Also has not changed. Agender and aroace. The triple A battery, if you will. Recognises gender as an invented social construct that she Will Not participate in. Doesn't care what gendered terms are applied to her, but you can pry mèimei from her cold dead hands.
I believe in the comics she has a girlfriend? I haven't read the comics, nor do I plan to, but I'm accepting that as canon. Whether that's a queerplatonic relationship or River choosing to partake in romance and/or sex without attraction is up to audience interpretation. This ties into her autism coding, as this is a relationship that has to be built outside of social norms.
Book
Aroace. The biggest indicator of this, to me, is in Objects in Space when he tells Jayne that some Shepherds do marry, but he follows a narrower path. The idea of someone becoming a Shepherd to get people off their backs about getting married and having kids is also really funny to me.
I think he's nonbinary but like at the end of the day also doesn't really care. Any pronouns, any gendered terms, whatever. I like to think "Shepherd" is a gender neutral title. Specifically, I think he's nonbinary because he identifies strongly with the belief that God has no gender, and he was made in God's image, so therefore part of his path as a Shepherd is to reject that human construct - though he's of course very understanding that that is his path, and doesn't push that onto anyone else. Tries to use it to connect with River, before realising that religion won't help with that and switches tactics to theology.
Aro
It's June, motherfuckers, and you know what that means! Apart from firing a few rent-lowering shots to filter out the chuds from my following, it's probably also a good time to post a reminder that there are many strange ways to be queer, and this is one of them.
video transcript below the cut, may be slightly inaccurate, I tend to ad-lib when reading my scripts into voiceover
O’Dea: …ah, what a cruelty is to feel the Devil’s temptation reaching out to snare a poor man for a fall to a fiery eternity in the hell below! It’s like enough as no man among us be strong enough to fight off the many hooks and nooses, may God have mercy on our poor sinners’ souls, one and all!

As a courier and a non-fighting breed, I figured Winchesters would be built lean and light for quick and fast flights.
Poor little Levitas. The dragon who tried with all his heart.

This hands down the best comment in the notes, I will not be taking criticism.
The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.
