Welcome To The Sparrow’s Nest

Which is that quite simply, I think Will’s relationship with his superpowers could be read as a kind of allegory for a trans person struggling to come out of the closet (perhaps projecting as enby who is still in the closet for the most part)

Will has this big secret, a big part of himself that initially only his close friends, parents and guardian know of. Even then, he’s scared to fully let it out and show it off in front of them. He’s not fully accepted it

As time goes by, things only get harder, the prospect of accepting it further away. More people outside of his trusted circle find out (Summer, Doug, etc). Then there’s Mallard Conway, this creepy guy who immediately clocks what William is, and follows it up with coercive and manipulative behaviour that feeds into William’s negative perception of himself and makes him hate what he is more

In season 2, when he learns he’s slowly decaying, William begins to feel like his body is betraying him. Something is so deeply wrong with it, he hates it… and he blames his powers. He falls into complete denial, doing everything he can to push it away, to just be ‘normal’. Until eventually, the wisps leave. Back into the closet

But unlike he hoped, things don’t get better. They get much much worse, his mental health tanking.

Greyscale. He spirals. He hurts people, people he cares about. Becomes the worst version of himself.

And yet even after that horrific low, he continues to repress his truth… and it ends in his death. There is no good end for him as long as he refuses to live as his true self and embrace his identity as the Wisperer

And when he finally does so in the Spirit World, no longer running from who he is, he gets a second chance. He comes back with a new body, one that doesn’t decay and hurt, that finally fits. He gets to live as the real William Wisp, the Wisperer, superhero and defender of Prime

Ahem, tag your moots for Pride Month!! What's your identity, pronouns, preference and types or are you allies, my fellow pride mates?

I am proudly genderfae (she/they), panromantic/fictoromantic and asexual!

I’m a biromantic and sex-repulsed asexual queer girl. I use she/her mostly but she/they is also perfectly fine as well !!

I’m biromantic and greysexual or demisexual (still figuring this out). I’m a cis female and use she/her pronouns but don’t mind she/they or they/them pronouns either :)

(FYI this is for mod and not Yelena-)

I am a lesbiannnnnn and I use she/her pronouns

Ime pan and my pronouns are he / she 🫶 I'm also polyamorous!! I'm taken by my wonderful fiance @ewanfetti !!!

im demiflux and ambonec!! they/none (+ some xeno/neoprns) :DD,

for my orientations/prefs it's, demi-aroace, biromantic, aroflux, cupioromantic, and graysexual!!!

TAGS UNDER THE CUT!!!!

im transmasc, nonbinary, genderfluid, and use he/they and neopronouns!!

i am omnisexual and mostly have masc preferences, aroflux, and cogitarisexual!!

TAGS!!

Anyway, THANK U FOR THE TAG!!!!

I'm pansexual, pronouns are literally any!! Despite me being biologically female, I do quite enjoy when someone refers to me as literally anything else. Constantly hearing she/her is getting a bit annoying.

Tags under the cut!! No pressure!!

Im pansexual, Pronouns are any, I’m genderfluid and Polyamrous! (Proudly with 3 partners!)

I'm bisexual, demiaroace, pronouns are he/they (in order of preference), transandrogynous, a trans man, and quiromantic!

I'm non-binary with they/them pronouns, and for orientations I'm aromantic + in some weird limbo space between bi and asexual (I'm still figuring that part out tho)

not sure who to tag in this but PRIDE MONTH WOAH

I am bigender with a lil genderfluidity sprinkled in to give me a headache. I use he/him and she/her and maybe they/them sometimes rarely on occasion. fluctuates man. orientation im pansexual. i think. i found another term that fit better but i lowkey forgot and then i gendered so. yay queer people.

hmmmm….. who can i tag….

ummmmm @trisyroptopsresurrected @fizzfangzz @frog-wants-season3 @fuckinpiss @acedit-vibin @doctorcheesy

others… can join in…. its open………..

I am still figuring out this first one, but I’m pretty sure I’m not a man. If I say “transfem” I might get banished from these lands, but I’ve been thinking about it. Whatever pronouns are fine now, though I do kinda like she/her. I identify with bisexual over pansexual because I like the flag more honestly. I’m so freakinge queer and so are most if not all my mutuals, so I hope more people will participate! Ɛ:

I’m a cis girl, she/her pronouns, and a lesbian. I think I’m probably on the aromantic spectrum, but definitely not romance repulsed. Probably cupioromantic or demiromantic, or like a combination of the two

I’m non-binary and use she/they pronouns (but honestly if I got called he I wouldn’t mind either. My gender is just nebulous lmao). I’m both biromantic and demiromantic (cancels out to just romantic /j) as well as asexual!

Guy who doesnt know where hes going: follow me!
