So in the Ghost Kingdom there wouldn't be a lot of pushback against a bisexual woman who willing to fulfill her reproductive roles, but a firmly lesbian woman who didn't want to have kids or fulfill the roles expected of her would run into a lot of backlash, just not necessarily for her interest in women? Sorry for all these super specific questions, I decided my OC is a lesbian and I'm kind of trying to feel things out.
Yeah there would probably be a lottt more push-back for a lesbian woman who didnt want kids or participate in roles expected of her. It might make it difficult for her to also find other partners b/c of the collected social stigma. esp because, i think in general, hekatons will only have 1 partner that they officially ‘marry.” So like two women marry but they might both have a guy on the side that they have babies with, or vice versa where theres a man/woman couple and the dad also has a romantic boyfriend partner. Its ok to be more interested in the partner that u are not having kids with, but generally the kingdom wants u to at least have kids with someone who is ur pal or someone u think u can trust who will be compatible with helping 2 raise kids if u are not like, deeply romantically interested in them. SO that being said, the culture there prob would consider her to be selfish b/c women generally have access to ‘high respecting jobs’ in their society and for her to not take advantage of that is like, insulting. like wtf are you going to DO if you arent going to do your jobs. the ghost kingdom doesnt really run under like.. the same kind of currency system we use, altho they do have some forms of class and value. its basically like 1 ‘bank’/tax system under the rule of the queen/the castle. they use that to funnel towards diff needs for the citizens. so she might not be able to live in the best of areas or have a lot of space bc it might be difficult for her to support herself independently, (just to have access to that, since theres going to be more of an instinct for 'male’ jobs to be.. given to dudes?? cuz there are more dudes than women, generally. they arent gonna be able to take the lady jobs at ALL so they would act like that ‘wouldnt be fair’ for her to be able to take the dude jobs as well??????) She might have to rely on direct family or friends, which can be stressful for everyone involved even if they have good bonds with them. poverty/homelessness are sort of a ‘new’ problem that they are trying to deal with as populations are growing faster than they are able to expand housing, as well as uhh, detonation centers for ppl to go in when they need to die. lol. so theres a greater demand for ppl to do labor and specific jobs rather than everyone just doing w/e they want. so like a lesbian woman who doesnt want kids n just wants to do some job thats considered ‘useless’ would be kind of considered like a “privileged” hekaton not picking up their weight and contributing to the FAMILY. (obviously this is not the case since there seems to be a more social expectation on her, but thats how society would generally view her as being lazy/greedy for wanting to do something different.) since ghost kingdom society is always kinda has a uuhh.. slight cult-like vibe of like? everything they do is for t’he good of the family’ and for ‘laima’s/dievas vision of a peaceful hekaton kingdom’ of their species. if they do not have the ghost kingdom, they will suffer like the hekatons do on the outside. no one wants that. so if ur not contributing to that goal, ur actively being a problem. like.. a blood clot or something lmfao.also she might get told a billion fuckingg times abt all the incredibly selfless things laima has done/sacrificed to keep their species alive and dont u want to make her proud?? ur upsetting our beautiful goddess mommy AND the selfless heroic dievas DIED to protect us ALL. what are u....... a perkons??? dont be like him!!!!!! he’s fucking evil. dont u know all the evil things he does??? he is TERRIBLE he tried to KILL everyone and he’s still out there, killing BABIES. u dont want to be like him DO YOU? are U a BABY KILLER?? HMM??? are u ok with babies being dead??? HUH??? ok, run along now and have some babies. moms everywhere will be proud and all will be forgiven. u might even get to date some moms! mom on mom action! see everyone wins??? ^_^ family/friends might aalso prob be scared she’d end up becoming involved with illegal activity ;;;_;;; which is also sort of a... new thing.. ahh!! evil.. non law abiding/society contributing lesbian hekatons!!!!! who do not want to lay eggs bc they obviously must HATE moms!!!!! >: ( grrr!!yeah WOW ttly a perfectly peaceful utopia society huh? ttly perfect in every way with no underlying problems here... nope.So i think what ties into the homophobia in the other post i made, is that, its still very obviously still there but like-- not quite as traditionally apparent as we’d consider since bisexuality is wildly considered the “”normal/default”” sexuality instead of being straight. (Mostly b/c everyone is sorta expected to find both Laima/Dievas to be hotness personified.)
