Everyone's sexuality
Explanation: Valko will be included in ALL of my rambles and is a threat. I briefly thought about reblogging my og post (like I've been doing) but I don't like how it looks on my blog. So, if you're interested in my post prior to Valko you can find it here
Lyra
still bisexual, but we'll get more specific with it this time
Sailor Moon was her first crush on a woman, Barbie Diamon Castle was the first piece of media she watched and went "why are these women not kissing???"
women are just too beautiful not to love
also relationship anarchy
yes those are her husbands for legal purposes
but more importantly they're the many interwoven pieces of her mind body and soul
Also routinely struggled with defining the boundaires between romantic and platonic relationships
it's entirely Caleb and Sylus' fault btw
Everything about her relationship with Caleb has always teetered on the edge of something not platonic or romantic, like they were trying to absorb into each other's skins and mesh into one person with how strangely close they were
Then of course Sylus' "we're besties" line, sir you aether cores want to devour each other and you're also fucking
Tara and Simone are still two of her closest friends in the world, and by Lyra's standards their behavior is just friends
to an outside observer they don't know what the fuck is going on with whatever that is
Xavier
pansexual but not because he's particularly attached to the label, he thinks it's a neat color scheme and enjoys matching with Sylus
also because that four star card form forever ago where she turns into a flower and he still loves her? it makes me weep
no matter what form or body they inhabit so long as they're them he'll have them in his life
he doesn't love shell, he loves them
though the shell is very attractive, warm, and overall pleasant
it's not what mattered at all to him
they matter
it has always been them and it always will be
even if he forgets
even if they change
even if he changes
it's them
Zayne
bisexual
now that he's been able to more or less safely express his feelings he's not repressed so yay!
it's not something he discloses to his coworkers still
he's very adamant about keeping his personal and professional lives very separate
the only reason Yvonne and Grayson are aware is because of how often they come over to his home and involve themselves in his personal life
they're on the very short list of coworkers that will be invited to their wedding when they do hold the ceremony
the rest of Akso finds out because of two reasons
one being that he could only have so many men visit him before they started to suspect something
two being that he uses his identity to connect more easily with queer patients, he's found it puts them at ease to know their doctor is part of their community
his polygamy research has turned out fruitfully, if the postive state of his relationship was anything to go by
Rafayel
bisexual for the color scheme still, it compliments his hair better than pansexual does
as previously established the default sexuality of Lemurians is pansexual because they're fish people who can do cool funky gender stuff and I will not be hearing any arguments
Love is the most important thing in Lemuria there would be no limits because of a human social construct
Also a relationship anarchist
yes these are the people he's going to spend the rest of his life and every life afterwards with, and yes he calls them his husbands/wife, but that's only for convenience because explaining how he feels with human titles is simple
but it feels more like a pet name or term of endearment the same a cutie and love
love of any type doesn't fall into neat categories, there are recurring themes and motifs in relationships but every relationship was something unique to the people involved in it
whether it's platonic, romantic, or something else entirely is up to the people within that relationship not arbitrary categories or external judgement
gonna throw in a fun fact
He absolutely does drag
we'll be circling back to that in a different post, but does anyone have any drag name ideas for him?
Sylus
assigned pansexual by twin sons
he couldn't care less what label was attached to him and purely sticks with it because of how much effort the twins put into figuring out his sexuality and the coming out party they planned for him
they got him a banner and invited their whole family (meaning the hoard) what was he supposed to do tell them no?
no.
he took his cake, his banner, and his pins
then spent the rest of the evening with his hoard, kissing on his lovers, and praising the twins for their deductive reasoning
he also enjoys calling every minor inconvenience a hate crime or homophobic
he's absolutely used it to fuck with people
mostly his hoard
it's too entertaining to watch them argue back at him to pass up on the opportunity
Caleb
still unlabeled, not because he's questioning or unsure about himself or his partners but because he doesn't feel the need for a label
for the majority of his life no one beyond Lyra and Zayne registered as an option at all
objectively attractive or not he simply couldn't be bothered
they weren't Lyra and Zayne
of course that eventually grew to include the others
some he clicked with faster, others needed a little more effort
but he loves them all the same
and that's it
no one else matters
he'll say pansexual if anyone asks because it's easier than bothering to explain his feelings to other people
and he likes making pan puns whenever he's in the kitchen because of how often people will groan
Valko
bisexual and he's known that since he was a teenager
it wasn't a big revelation, more of a feeling he always knew and decided to put a name to out of sheer boredom one day
werewolves come in all flavors of queer and I will not hear any argument at all
nature is gay
what came as a shock to him was that he had an entire pack waiting for him to find them
he had been searching out his mate for so long and had come close to discovering two of them when the explosion happened
he pulled Caleb out of the rubble without a second thought, panicked and afraid as the man bled out in his arms
a man who smelled like clouds and home cooked meals, who felt like safety and warmth but also something sharper he couldn't name
he knew Caleb was his... and he also knew there should be more
that there was something missing
the name Caleb mumbled in his sleep confirmed as much
he sought out Lyra and ended up finding so many others who he knew he belonged with
they were so loving and they smelled like home
EVER threw a wrench in his plans to join his pack officially but he was so glad he knew
they were six of them
he couldn't wait to be with them again
