There are some ways it can go right, but a million ways it can go wrong. Alternating male and female bittersweet songs.

Etiquette and Espionage - Gail Carriger 

[hexthebookworm]

Dear gailcarriger

Thank you most sincerely for the endlessly quotable line “Why must I have bones?” which I know use instead of “Woe is me!”

I feel a little sad that you blessed me with such an excellent gift and I did not give you anything in return. I hope that a positive review and wholehearted recommendations of your series will suffice.

Most fondly yours,

Hex

genderfluid lefoux who doesnt understand why she started feeling like a girl a week ago when she never had before

genderfluid lefoux buying men's attire but trying her hardest to seem androgynous so that nobody misgenders her

genderfluid lefoux not having dysphoria but sometimes wishing that she could function in a dress

genderfluix lefoux despite not always feeling female using she-pronouns because thats what she feels most comfortable with

genderfluid lefoux who eventually just starts saying "my gender may be fluid but i'm still gay as hell"

genderfluid lefoux curiously studying genders as a pastime between building huge metal octopuses 

genderfluid lefoux coming to terms with the fact that gender doesn't own her, she owns gender

Madame Lefoux and Gender Performativity

alternatively titled Why Madame Lefoux is Not Trans* (put forth by the local fandom nonbinary who rejects your headcanon and puts forth their own for consideration because gender performativity is important!) the short-ish version because Ty does not feel like writing an essay tonight

We’re about to get all theoretical up in here! (Warning, spoilers for FS and TPP!)

Alexia Maccon: I suppose you might consider keeping more than one cat

Lord Akeldama: Oh dear me, no. Then I should be known as that vampire with all the cats.

Fanart: Miss Ivy Hisselpenny and the case of the Taxidermied Octopus

[dottedmelonart]

I was looking for fashion references when I stumbled upon this. In the text it says something about taxidermied octopuses as decoration for hats. We all know who would wear such a hat. 

Oh gods, the hat.

Songs for Sophronia and Lord Maccon fanmixes. Go?

[woolseypack]

the wolves act 1&2 by bon iver for lord maccon, and maybe chloe by grouplove for sophronia? idk if that one fits as well

[naderegen]

I’ve been rereading the Parasol Protectorate, and I wanted to make a quick drawing of Ivy… But I suppose kinda forgot that I know absolutely nothing about Victorian fashions, let alone how to draw them OTL  So that took a little longer than expected, but here we are.

Also who ever also gets the bright idea to read Changeless after Waistcoats and Weaponry: No. It is not a bright idea. Spare yourself. etc.

[fiannawolf]

Wanted to draw something fun.

So re-reading the Parasol Protectorate series. Kindle books are dangerous but Posh Werewolves even more so.
