Some flags for my Expanse Blorbos
While the books don't tend to use a lot of labels, there's just a TON of very casual queerness, reflecting a future where queerness is just very ordinary and accepted. 💜
Reasons I chose these flags for these characters:
Anna Volvodov is canonically married to another woman. IIRC she uses the term lesbian at some point but honestly do not remember
Admiral Souther canonically sleeps with men.
Book Michio Pa / TV Camina Drummer is in a polycule and sleeps with both women and men.
Chrissie Avasarala sure liked being in Julie Mao's old racing suit =)
Bobbie Draper, especially in the books, is described as having a very large, muscular, build. The book very consistently describes her as much larger than other Martian women. I headcanon her with NCAH, but other intersex variations like PMOS or 5ARD would work equally well. Really appreciate how her hyperandrogenism is never pathologized.
Fred Johnson as trans is a bit more of a headcanon. In the books, it comes up that he doesn't use the condom catheter in his space suit. There are a bunch of reasons that could be, and I am going to use it to headcanon him as trans because I can. The books' authors are on record with basically "it's the future, literally any of the characters can be trans" so also that.
Clarissa Mao and Amos Burton are pretty clearly described as being in a queerplatonic relationship in the later books. QPR isn't used as a term, but a consistent description along the lines of: "they're in a relationship and it's platonic." We know canonically that Amos fucks (hence the aro flag), whereas I did not get that sense from Clarissa so giving her an ace flag.
