Something something bloodymary AU but Simon and Grace don't meet until they're on Erid because while Rocky was gone looking to solve the astrophage problem from that angle, Adrian with another team of scientists discovered a blood moon that also destroys astrophage a little closer to home and dredge up a mutated ship and it's mutated captain. Though the blood ocean is not a viable way of destroying astrophage because of its contaminant/mutation qualities on living organisms, and the eel is too dangerous to openly study right now, the organic life form Adrian's team picked up was still in need of rescue.
Cue Rocky bringing Grace home and they're going to have to make an entire enclosure for- what do you mean you're already on it? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ALSO FOUND AN ALIEN AND BROUGHT IT HOME AND THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAME SPECIES BUT NOT????

UNHOLY OFFSPRING OF LIGHTNING AND DEATH
they've been arguing about malgendering on twitter so here's the truth from me, the arbiter of truth (jk but ive been talking about malgendering long before it became a popular buzzword and heres my understanding of it)
malgendering is a form of transphobia wherein a transphobic person uses their victim's correct gender to harass or demean them. it is meant to be the inverse of misgendering, where a transphobe uses the victim's incorrect gender to harass or demean them.
misgendering towards trans women can be as simple as "youre a man." but malgendering is more insidious, like someone saying "you really are a girl" when she makes a mistake in order to insult her intelligence. the phrase "you really are a girl" is positive when removed from the context of the trans woman making a mistake and the transphobe's sarcastic tone that implies shes stupid in an misogynistic way.
if a trans man does something like standing up for himself against an unfair situation or asks for better accommodations/treatment, and a transphobe wants to use that to imply he is selfish and entitled, they might say "trans men really are men" which again, is a true statement on its own. but in the context of the situation, its clear the transphobe is using the stereotypical worst qualities of men to insult and undermine someone's very identity.
malgendering can be any severity of harm, just like misgendering. my mom slipping up in the first months of my transition and accidentally calling me "she", and a bigot shouting "YOURE A WOMAN YOULL NEVER BE A MAN" at me are both examples of misgendering, but one is much worse than the other and its the same with malgendering. being told "trans men are the men of the trans community" as an insult is annoying and rude but not a big deal. however, right now ICE is torturing trans men in concentration camps by forcing them to do pointless and grueling labor. and when they become exhausted, theyre told "I thought you were a man. if youre really a man this should be easy for you" these are both examples of malgendering. one is a microaggression, the other is literal torture.
malgendering happens equally to both trans men and trans women, its not something that is unique to anyone because it is a form of transphobia. the strategy is that if a transphobe tries to make a trans persons life as their true gender so miserable and unsafe, detransitioning seems like the safer and happier option. its psychological torment, moreso than the plain and obvious insult of intentional misgendering. so dont let it happen, call it out when you see it and dont be fooled by transphobes trying to erase the context and be like "what!! what i said was true!"
For my own understanding, let me try to boil down your explanation into a one sentence definition:
Malgendering is the action of maliciously burdening a trans person with the stereotypes about their true gender, with the intent of making living as said gender seem less favorable.
Does that catch what you're trying to say? Because from your post I'm not sure of the intent bit.
yes! the transphobic person may not be aware of their intent and not even know what they're doing, most of the time theyll deny that they are being tranphobic because they think theyre 'affirming" someones gender. it serves as an easy way out and often malgendering is more like a dogwhistle, only some people can hear it. but yes, that is the "purpose" of malgendering.
and you could argue "well thats just sexism. treating a trans woman like shes stupid or slutty because shes a woman is just misogyny. treating a trans man like he must be entitled or predatory because hes a man is just misandry" yes and no, because the context matters.
saying these things to a trans person with the knowledge that theyre trans has an underlying implication: "you wouldn't be bad if you weren't trans". when you tell a trans men that all men should die and you hate all men, youre telling him "you wouldnt be evil if you detransitioned. everyone would be kind to you if you were still a girl" and same with trans women: "you would be smarter and respected if you weren't a woman. I wouldnt harass you if you were still a man."
malgendering says "these are the consequences of being a man/woman, and im going to make sure you suffer them."
as an aroace, a very important belief that i have, is that i would not be immune to being lured by sirens just because i wouldn't be attracted to them. i would be lured by the beautiful music and the call of the sea. i would jump off the ship to my death, not with an expectation of mermaid sex, but with an expectation of being cradled by the sweet embrace of the briny deep.
people focus too much on sirens being hot and attracting sailors with their looks. that's not the point. the sirens aren't beautiful women. they are the sea. they are nature. it's not about men being unable to resist women's beauty. it's about no one being able to resist the call of the ocean.
and that's the problem with amatonormativity in our society today. everyone's too focused on making everything about romance and sex that they don't heed sailor's warnings anymore. smh
I feel like having wings violently burst out of your back would just feel really good. Like itd feel awful but also itd feel really satisfying.

honestly i think the reason why it’s so common for kids to have the “it’s not a phase, mom” argument in their adolescence is less because they genuinely plan for their current state of being to remain utterly unchanged forever and more because they’re tired of having their interests/self expression/beliefs/etc dismissed as foolish due to being probably temporary
i know that when i was that age i certainly wasn’t thinking about whether or not i’d be into whatever shit i was into then when i was 80, all i knew was that i was sick of feeling like the adults in my life were just rolling their eyes and waiting out everything that was important to me at that moment

Selected Works from Henry Scott Tuke
Henry Scott Tuke was an English painter renowned for his maritime scenes and depictions of young men, often in a naturalistic and intimate style. There is something nostalgic about many of Tuke's works — his vibrant use of color and light perfectly captures the idyllic and carefree essence of youth.
In his personal and professional life, Tuke met and befriended many fellow artists such as John Singer Sargent, and talented poets, including Oscar Wilde and John Addington Symonds. He traveled often in circles with other Uranian — the term in use at the time for gay men — artists. While Tuke's art prominently features nude young men, his works aren't sexually explicit. Most of his works show young men in the foreground but the star is clearly the sea.
Tuke's legacy is celebrated for its artistic merit and its subtle challenge to the conventions of his time, particularly posthumously. Around the 1970s, his body of work was rediscovered by gay artists, art collectors, and art historians — including Sir Elton John!
