You Are Loved (And So Are They)

We're non-SAM aromantic and we have a queerplatonic partner, so no flirting, please, but we love to make friends!

Interests include our art, some fandoms (feel free to ask!), neogenders neopronouns and alternate gender systems, the wind, writing, our friends, and linguistics. We are very normal about linguistics I promise

Unfortunately we can't follow people back because this is a sideblog but here are our moots!

CHASE GIVE YE BOY WISDOM (no pressure front, only if he feels like answering me)

Yes, that works! You can also just call us "Patchwork" as a group title or "Quilt" because I'm always here anyways :) /pos

Since Chase is a bxy (boy and genderless at the same time) and Nati is bigenderthing (both girlthing and boything) we end up presenting masculine or androgynous fairly often! I don't care how we present because gender is incomprehensible to me but they do, so here's some of their tips:

Wear open hoodies or patterned shirts. Even when wearing a girl's swimsuit, Chase did reportedly feel "boy as fuck" because of how he pulled back our hair and put on an oversized open shirt.

Let your hair hang. Tucking your hair behind your ears or pulling it in front of your shoulders looks more feminine for some reason—even when we had long hair, letting it lay on our back didn't give hxm dysphoria.

Another factor is how he and Nati carry themselves. He slouches and spreads his legs often and generally takes up space. Nati will often do large, loose movements and isn't afraid to put her arms up on things.

Pants that go slightly over your shoes. Pants with larger/wider bottoms. Sometimes, dark shoes.

We have naturally broad shoulders, which Nati is always a fan of despite some other people's mixed feelings. Wearing tank tops with thin straps can accentuate the broadness of your shoulders. Also, try to use tank tops with larger... sleeve holes? Have them big enough to go a ways down your ribcage.

Beanies specifically. They cover a lot of hair and they're good at interfering with what might otherwise a feminine hairstyle.

Big shoes. Specifically shoes with big soles or lugs (the shapes that stick out on the bottom for traction). Though this might just be Chase's preference.

Making your movements a bit more "low energy." Again, this might just be how hx is, but Chase will turn his eyes instead of turn his head, flop hxs hand around, and generally make our body seem a bit more heavy.

If someone treats you femininely or like you're a girl, try and laugh it off. Act like you're so self-confident in your own masculinity that it's frankly ridiculous other people aren't. That kind of confidence makes other people feel like they missed something and made a mistake by treating you femininely even if they can't pinpoint why.

Try for vocalizations lower in the throat. Instead of chuckling or giggling try huffing or breathing out from the back of your throat. It has a bit of a lower and more casual sound.

I hope this helped in some way! Chase and Nati are sort of in unique positions where our body, wardrobe, and mannerisms are often more on the feminine side, so they have to do temporary things to make themselves feel more masculine. Or, you know, boy as fuck.
