puff’s pride stuff

Dislike both of them in a way. We're technically out to everyone we know, just to varying levels of “preciseness.” For family, we don't really want anything to do with that concept, nor do we even feel familial attraction. For friendship it's more complicated, we're mostly okay with it, as long as it's called anything but a “friendship.” We don't want people to randomly call us a friend either; there's only three people we're okay if they do call us a friend, though we'd typically prefer other terms to be used but. *shrugs* They can, no one else.

For Mogai ABC'S by @dragonpride17 day 6 " Friends and family"

what's your relationship to your body? how does it affect how you identify?

I dont know... i dont really have a relationship with this body im very disconnected from it due to various reasons like trauma, dissociation, Plurality, gender stuff. I have no clue how this affects my identity

[pt: mogai abcs(link) - day five. end pt.]

expression - how do you express your identity? what's your ideal expression/presentation?

rou (mu/mur): doggy-themed clothing, pastels, bright colors, things that make mu happy!!! mu would like to be perceived as a completely genderless puppyboy!!! wear all the cute clothing mu wants like lolita and girlykei and coquette and not be perceived as a girl!!! but any clothes that give mu joy ... mur favorite sweater is actually a brown doggy sweater ehe. mu would also wanna be able to wear a collar and dog ears n tail (so other people can see mu the way mu sees murself) without it being seen as weird. mu is also puerings(link) so stockings and cute socks in general play a big part into how mu wishes to present murself. mu also tries to be like... dainty? mu supposes? dainty and soft and stuff associated with that typa thing. that's how mu expresses who mu is and mur identity :3 but also hyper puppy dog. i'm doggy.

seb (he/him/any): "my voice. my movements, but the way i speak primarily. ideal presentation would be androgynous and making people question my gender, but ultimately be seen as and understood to be male."

caelan (none; aux. she/it & choco/chocos): "i think the truth is i don't want to have people perceive me a specific way. um, i'm pretty comfortable in my own identity and to be honest? i get excited to see how other people end up perceiving me. like, i wish that i could go in everyone's head and hear exactly what kind of impression i've left. um, i know this kind of goes against what i said earlier about being annoyed about people using pronouns for me (i don't think it does 'n mu told caelan that murself). sort of as i've said before i kind of sort of think of myself as uh, as a little neko spirit."

a term for when one identifies as esperkyn (link) in a stubborn and spiteful way!

made for day 5 of @dragonpride17's MOGAI ABCs event!

I actually don't know if we& have a set answer for this one on account of being a system and it changing so much, but we do tend to drift towards men's fashion while also painting our nails and wearing makeup but this does change depending on whoever is fronting. This is typically just read as femininity, however, so ideally our presentation is read as both masculine and feminine.

"disconnect - are you disconnected with any particular aspect of your identity?"

hm..!! yes, specifically with mwe being a dejugogirl. it's a bit odd to explain to some.. i feel like i lack a girlhood despite being a boygirl and trans girl. i feel like i haven't earned being a girl yet, or haven't truely experienced a girlhood to call mwy own yet. part of it is being intersex, i never truely felt like i belonged in either boy or girl category, but the girl one i ran from much more.. so i feel a boyhood without the girlhood catching up or fitting the same. being autistic and schizophrenic also caused a major disconnect from others and complicated feelings around mwy girlness. i don't feel like im "one of the girls", or part of girls as a group. like im an imposter looking into a place. forbidden for what i am to be part of it. i don't have many in mwy life who understand my identity outside of sysmates. i adore mwy sysmates!! many are family or close to mwe but there's that sense of outside of mwy brain bonds? with singlets or other systems? im way too autisic+schizoavpd to really /fix/ the lack of connection though. i doubt it will ever change but! at least i have what i got already ^-^!!!

like the last post mentions, a sysmate fronting with mwe decided to also add in an answer! he/him and mwy gun is the only thing that will be used to avoid full identity being public. im writing out what he says to mwe :]!!

"uhh.. sure ya. disconnected from gender. the entire concept of gender honestly its annoying and pointless. dont get it. cassgender and some funny words as a vibe are the best you'll get from me. it's a mix of the not caring and not feeling connected to anything. no box has me in it. does disconnected from whatever the hell romance, family and platonic shit is count? i don't get those, nothing fit when i tried to connect to it. looks like some weird blurry blob i can't mold into. disconnected from my body.. i guess im just throwing in everything huh. i don't see my body as my own in whatever way humans see theirs as such. i could throw on new skin or identity and nothing would change. id be no less happy or less sad. just yknow" [he shrugged at me.. made me giggle]

Expression How do you express your identity? What's your ideal expression/presentation?

I try my best to express it visually as much as possible. Even if it may not seem obvious to others, it always is to me.

For starters, I think of my appearance the same way you’d make a Sim with a lot of CC or dress up an Everskies avatar. In fact, if I’m being entirely honest, I think about it the same way I think about character design: The palette, the shapes, the layering. I pick a concept I want to embody that day and work around it. “Concept” can be anything, of course. Sometimes an aesthetic, sometimes a certain character or trope, sometimes even a Literal Concept. This includes my kins as well as other aspects of my identity, but gender isn’t really at the forefront and never really was.

While yes, my presentation is very tied to my gender, it’s not as straightforward as you may assume. See, I don’t aim to pass in one way or another. I want to confuse, always. My goal is to make others wonder what I am, while I get to do whatever I want with my looks. Androgyny is instrumental to every aspect of my identity, and something I always do is try to “balance” my masculinity and femininity. It isn’t just dressing masc but wearing make-up or wearing a dress with sneakers and a baseball cap, it’s more intricate than that. Let’s say I want to wear jeans and a plain shirt. A few options are : if my hair is long, go for baggy-on-baggy skaterboy fit, but with many accessories. With shorter hair I would gravitate more towards little-shirt-big-pant. If it gets cold, humongous jacket for option 1 and cropped Adidas hoodie for option 2. Other idea, sleeveless + shorts. I can aim for a mcbling twink with the thinnest tightest tank top you can imagine or classic wife-pleaser with big chunky cargos (shout out butches). And what about formal attire? The options are endless. Do I want to give Victorian bishoujo vampire? Do I channel my inner office siren? Do I become the mafia boss of every fanfic? It’s a lot of fun, especially if you consider I can mix and match to my heart’s content.

That’s based on the “standard” “masc-fem scale”, which isn’t my priority and just something I enjoy to play with every day. What I pay closest attention to is channeling The Vibe. On my most grimine days, I put on the ol’ reliable. When I want to be more dogboyish, I pull out my several bone and paw-shaped trinkets and accessories. I love chrome and stars on days I want to channel my core aesthetics, and I can’t help but try my best to mirror the feeling or style or literally, once again, vibe of the music I’m listening to that particular day. Hell, I even consider the weather, but I’m not even talking about the temperature. Just literally “it’s sunny so let’s channel sunny-day vibes”. On top of all that, I always hold my interests close and do my best to include even a little something about them in my every day appearance.

Being entirely honest, I’m too aldernic to have one single ideal presentation of my truest self. If could look outwardly however I desired, I wouldn’t even be able to choose one form. That’s partly why I believe I connect with so many different things in so many different ways. My ideal expression is truly impossible to achieve, but that does not sadden me, as I do the active effort to allow my perceivable form to channel, embody and showcase even if just a tiny bit of what it could be. Humanly speaking, I never really had a fixed “goal” appearance. I’ve always been very confustransitional and I’m always moving the goalpost. That being said, I look in the mirror and look exactly how I want to present to the world as: Myself.

Ps: I tried to link references as much as I could to better illustrate what i was talking about at any given point, but for a full (ever growing) list of presentation terms i like and/or connect with, feel free to check this tag.
