under sexuality: which of your characters has the most difficulty relating to/dealing with theirs? which has the least trouble?
Jemisaur
Most difficulty is probably Hathaway. He's very deeply closeted and only comes out for self destructive bouts before going back in.
Jemisaur
He dates women on odd occasion. Three times we know of in the show. One is a work mate he has sex with, otherwise doesn't see. One is a serial killer who tries to burn him alive.
Jemisaur
The third is a childhood friend who knows he's in a terrible place and manipulates him and nearly gets him killed.
Jemisaur
Easiest...
Jemisaur
Probably Mohinder Suresh. He's unashamedly and unapologetically bisexual.
Jemisaur
It's the benefit of English schooling, away from his home country of India, where it's illegal for men to have sex with each other.
Jemisaur
A lot of my muses have had some difficulty coming to terms with things, but not necessarily in big traumatic ways, if that makes sense?
ďïŕẗ
Jeez I feel bad for Hathaway. And yes, that makes sense; that's one of the reasons I asked, actually. A lot of your characters are products of cultures where heterosexuality is assumed.
ďïŕẗ
Luke, more than the average Joe Blow
Jemisaur
James Hathaway is a bundle of issues that are generally best left alone because he has a vicious bite when he feels threatened.
Jemisaur
Luke, for me, is closer to asexual than anything. He likes intimacy rather than sex.
ďïŕẗ
..That was supposed to be like, not Luke. But I am all for hearing Luke headcanons
Jemisaur
Jemisaur
Mohinder is viciously and spitefully delighted in being bisexual. Because he can be a right bitch about life in general.
ďïŕẗ
(amusingly, he and D are more similar than not that way. This made me start musing over character sexualities during work and realizing D reeeeeally doesn't feel sexual attraction on it's own.--)
Jemisaur
Isaac is very much a try-sexual, but he comes from a culture heavily focused on machismo, which causes issues. Issues often 'overcome' by copious drug abuse.
Jemisaur
D is demisexual, I imagine. He's attracted to personalities and he has to be pretty involved before anything like attraction happens.
ďïŕẗ
..Yes thank you that was the word I was flailing for
Jemisaur
Scott has done to his sexuality what he did to the rest of himself. Decided what was appropriate, what was not and compartmentalised it appropriately.
ďïŕẗ
Scott, I'm not sure if I
ďïŕẗ
am impressed or appalled about that.
Jemisaur
Both.
Jemisaur
Go with both
Jemisaur
When he came off the street, he decided who he should be. He decided to be the boy next door, the boy scout, the painfully normal guy.
Jemisaur
He genuinely is attracted to women, so that made it easier to put anything that didn't fit his new image away.
ďïŕẗ
I probably will. How do you think the confines of 'appropriate' and 'not appropriate' changed going from his relationships with Jean, Emma and Logan? (When you're done with this b/c interesting)
Jemisaur
Jean was appropriate.
ďïŕẗ
That makes sense. He wouldn't have had to technically lie about his sexuality--just leave out certain details, which is easier.
Jemisaur
Jean was smart and beautiful and he genuinely loved her and he really was attracted to her, both physically and mentally.
Jemisaur
And when she died, it didn't break anything in him. It was a sharp reminder that life isn't a storybook, even if you've tried to turn it into that, make sense of it.
Jemisaur
Logan happened after Jean died, because Scott didn't know how to grieve, he'd never been allowed to grieve for anything he lost and logan pushed at him until he cracked enough to start actually dealing with it.
Jemisaur
He never lied. And jean never raised it, even though she knew, because Scott wasn't ready to start reevaluating and maybe, it seemed easier for them both to not open that cat of worms.
Jemisaur
can^
ďïŕẗ
That last bit is somehow very sad in my mind, because I can see Jean thinking she would be there to help him in the tomorrow when he was ready to examine that part of himself, and then her tomorrows ran out
Jemisaur
Yeah, basically. She realised at least some of the problems with him and logan weren't jealousy, but when it happened, it wasn't like it should have been.
Jemisaur
It was angry and grief and drunk and didn't really help either of them for a while.
Jemisaur
It mellowed out eventually and when Jean came back, it was Logan who got both her and Scott through losing Nathan, because yeah, he understood.
Jemisaur
Now, with Emma? Emma and Scott routinely bring Logan into their bed. Two of them can get somewhere near pushing his endurance and Emma likes having them both there.
Jemisaur
(I have an OT3 and I refuse to be judged)
ďïŕẗ
(Also thank you, now I've veered off mentally to examining Kurt's sexuality and how becoming a priest was an unconscious and toxic form of self-flagellation.)
Jemisaur
You're welcome
Jemisaur
I think about so many of these things and just... don't get a chance to babble them at people?
ďïŕẗ
I always welcome people babbling about their characters to me. Always.
Jemisaur
I've recently started putting together new muses.
Jemisaur
However... you're going away soon, right? For how long?
ďïŕẗ
as far as Emma, I can very see her refusing to let Scott block off that part of his sexuality. because she knows too well tomorrow isn't guaranteed
ďïŕẗ
and also I don't think she'd see the point? there are so many worse sexual practices to be ashamed of
ďïŕẗ
just for about a weekish. I'll have my phone so I'll have aim running but won't be available to rp
Jemisaur
Scott's learned to accept a lot more of himself since Emma. Because she really didn't care and sometimes laughed at him for thinking things were an issue when they clearly weren't.
Jemisaur
Like "Why can't we have Logan with us? Who the fuck matters outside the three of us?"
Jemisaur
AIM! Yay! I'm ramble there
Jemisaur
Because it's sort of bed time for me.
ďïŕẗ
Go sleep, then
Jemisaur
I will. I'll harass you on AIM tomorrow. <3
