Hi, how are you today? Hope you're doing good and have a great day/night/morning/evening/etc. wherever you are!
Could you please write some Aruden/Hirynne/Mindy headcanons or a fanfic? I'm not picky, I'm just so deprived of TPQ content :,,) Thanks a lot!
ANON I LOVE YOU SO MUCH /p
keep in mind I haven’t read the books in a while so some things might be inaccurate
Brynne and Hira are stupid. We know this. So when they tell the Potats they’re dating everyone’s like “yeah we already knew” because they were so bad at hiding it
anyway they make a lot of desserts together, especially cream puffs because those are Hira’s favorite
for her birthday Brynne made her a bunch of them with different flavored creams
one time Brynne walked in on Hira doing Just Dance with Nikita and Sheela and she almost melted
speaking of giving each other things, Rudy gives Mini little earrings with skulls made of amethyst
She thinks it’s very sweet but then talks with Rudy about the constant gifts and how it doesn’t mean they’re dating and everything
They do work it out and he ends up taking her on a date to a paint-your-own-pottery place
it turns out Rudy is also very good at painting! All his work is very shiny but it’s very detailed
Aiden has this fuzzy blanket at his house that Aru always steals whenever she comes over. It will be the middle of summer and you’ll see her walking around his living room wearing it like a poncho
Aru finds out that Aiden never had a stuffed animal as a kid so she takes him to Target and they spend five hours there looking for a stuffed animal. And by that I mean Aru is picking out several at a time, tries to choose between them, and then gives up and re-enacts scenes from Lotr with them
Aiden is surprisingly very cuddly! Whenever they watch a movie or something he always leans on her shoulder and it’s very cute
he looks v nice. would treat me right. i dont think he’s wearing socks.
ok first off homie, wtf even IS that hair.... he looks like a drummer. would probably keep the apartment building up at night playing music / playing drums.
if u could could u maybe do some aruden dating headcanons???
*cracks knuckles* I thought you'd never ask
-when they first start dating the Potats are a *mess*
-they try going literally anywhere then discover that Nikita and/or Brynne are hiding behind a bush
-they go on walks all the time
-it will be like 6:00 a.m. and Aiden will wake up to Aru banging on his door asking if he wants to go on a walk
-after they go out for a while Aru discovers that Aiden really likes falafel and every few weeks they try out different falafel places in Atlanta
-at the same time Aiden finds out that Aru really, really likes random earrings
-Aiden asks Nikita to teach him how to make earrings and he fails miserably but Aru loves them and wears them all the time even though they're literally hunks of metal falling off the dangly bit
-late night calls. So many. Sometimes it's just Aru calling him to talk about llamas but other times it's actually like. Therapy and crying
-they're both really good at listening to each other and are always there to support one another
-they get into fights pretty often but they have good communications skills and know their boundaries pretty well so they know how to solve them
idk how typically androgynous it is but my hair (which is curly) right now is cut kind of like lydia's from beetlejuice the musical and i certainly feel more androgynous but that could just be me
I appreciate what you're trying to do, but tagging for all caps is something meant for a chunk of a post or even just a sentence or two, it's not something that needs to be tagged for single words. It's a readability issue and most people who struggle with it only struggle with it when there's a bunch of it in a small space.
Hi! Re your tags on that bisexual post --- bisexual is attraction to two OR MORE genders. Or, to phrase it more simply, attraction to your own gender, and other genders. So, you can be attracted to just two (eg, women and nonbinary people) or you can be attracted to all genders, or any number in between.
The "bi" part of the word has two origins (ironic, lol) : bisexual was used in the 1800s at almost the exact same time to describe both people who were "simultaneously homosexual and heterosexual," and also used to describe people who were "both genders" (now called intersex) and/or people who started as one gender but dressed/behaved as the other (now called transgender).
The two meanings were rapidly merged and then used through to the 1960/1970s to include everyone from people who were attracted to more than one gender, to trans folk, to asexuals (because they have an equal level of sexual attraction to all genders - even if that level is zero, its still equal). It was only in the 60s/70s that the various subgroups groups started ID-ing under more specific individual labels like ace and trans, while the "attracted to more than one gender" people stuck with the bisexual label.
But even if it WERE specifically just two genders -- let's use "men and women" for an easy example -- then trans people would still be included in that, because trans men are men and trans women are women. Trans men/women arent a secret third gender.
Which is part of the reason it was always nonsense that TERFs tried to exclude trans folk from bisexual attraction. The other reason, of course, is that trans folk used to be housed under the bisexual label themselves. Bi and trans people have been hand in hand since at least the 1800s.
But yeah, in short bisexual = attraction to same and other genders, and trans people are included in that.
Thank you so much for letting me know! This was so interesting to read and makes a lot more sense now
