genderfluid jl hcs
Love this hc, for my sake I'll be using mostly male pronouns sometimes female 💕
kinda knew when he was younger that sometimes he wanted to be a she sometimes, but also jc probably scared the living shit outta jl
plus jl didn't know how to articulate that as a child, so he kept it suppressed
sometimes ljy can get away with calling jl a young mistress or princess, but he absolutely hates it when ljy calls him that when ljy calls him that when he's male
gets a little annoyed when being called young mistress/princess at any time, really, except when it's used a term of endearment
loves the fact that she can pass as a guy or girl (bc imo jl is quite androgynous looking)
will sneak out at night dressed in a more feminine-presenting way and get away with it
puts actually a lot of effort into presenting female, and looking as different as she possibly can look bc if it gets out that the jin's sect heir "crossdresses" (which is false, but the gossipers don't know that) it will be very bad press
voice is harder to pass off but it is doable
jl has never told anyone abt being genderfluid bc it's not like he has friends to spare lmao, and bc it's very personal
plus being genderfluid really wasn't a thing back then, at least not publicly out as genderfluid
hates staying at the cloud recesses because it's very hard to sneak out there and he isn't gonna risk it on other sect territory
zizhen is the first to find out when he caught jl sneaking out of lanling (zizhen's insomnia means that he wanders quite a bit)
oyzz completely accepts jl, though they don't rlly talk about it. sometimes oyzz will cover for jl if someone gets sus
"Ling" is a unisex name so she goes by a Ling if anyone asks
has actually made contact with ppl in her sect w/o them realizing
cue the one jin chan asked her on a date while jin ling was presenting feminine, and a horrified a ling slapping him before running away
probably gonna do a pt. 2 where the lans find out lmao
