It won’t let me edit the original post so let me just talk my Lust Drag Queen Agenda for a sec ok
This oneshot would be in my Error and Lust are Friends series, so if you’ve read it that’s the characterization I’m working with (shameless self promo over)
Hyperfem: in this au, Lust is very much in colorful and queer fashion. He fucks with gender a lot through his self expression like makeup and clothes and it shows in his drag performances too. He strikes me as a guy that would get super in character, so a very colorful and peppy exploration of “traditional” femininity, which Barbie is just that turned up to 200. Ditzy and a little obsessed with herself, but smart and pretty enough that it doesn’t hold her back. I think that this character would volunteer for drag queen story hours and a lot of community events when she isn’t doing stand-up or lip syncing at local shows.
Jessica Rabbit: fits more with fanon interpretation (possibly canon too, I haven’t read it lol). From my (shaky) memory, Jessica was a very confident, flirtatious woman who was comfortable with her sexuality and loved her husband and friends. She was a born performer who used her sex appeal to capture her audiences attention. Lust could be very similar. He loves his friends so much. He loves performing and the attention that comes with it. The sexual appeal of this persona would make him feel powerful and strong in ways he couldn’t in his daily life. He might do more risque shows or he might stick to the semi family friendly comedy/lipsync shows in bars and nightclubs.
Either way, he’s well-known in his local scene and likes helping his fellow queens and kings, especially the younger ones like Dogaressa (send me ideas about her king name, pls, I’m so stuck on a name T^T)
I’m open to suggestions for characterization and names (please help), preferably a punny one because Sans. Poll’s staying up the rest of the week, give me a hand and I’ll do my best to get it out quick for pride!!
