***In this, I imagine this is after the best ending.

***In this, they made an update so androids can eat, drink, and get drunk.

***I’ve always had a theory that androids could temporarily shut down as a way of “sleeping” so their battery recharges and that’s what happens during cutscenes throughout the game lol

I USED THE TEMPLATE MADE BY @the-darklings BECAUSE I LOVE IT!

A = What do they find attractive about each other? Simon thinks Markus’s eyes, body, and kindness is attractive. Markus thinks Simon’s eyes, hands, and charm is attractive.

B = Do they want a family and why/why not? They don’t have time to think about having a child or children since Markus is the spokesperson for androids and they are in the public eye, but they think kids are cute and would want to try to have a child. They don’t think they could handle multiple kids, especially since they get caught in public a lot.

C = How do they cuddle? They cuddle when they sleep. Markus is always protectively holding Simon against his chest and keeps his hands over Simon’s heart (careful not to hurt him). Simon loves it and likes to play with Markus’s fingers when he doesn’t want to temporarily shut down for the night.

D = What are their dates like? They like to stay home since they’re always out doing things and taking care of others. Simon likes to cook for Markus since he stays home more, but they like to cook together or order out and watch movies they’ve been excited for. On rare occasion, they go out on nature walks or disguise themselves to troll people. They’re dates are sweet and always feel light.

E = “You are my everything. My ___”: They are a couple who are more show than tell when it comes to love (at least in public), but at home Simon always gives Markus pet names and gushes over him. Markus finds it insanely adorable even if he sounds repetitive.

F = When did they know they were in love? Simon knew he was in love at the victory party for winning their freedom. He knew as soon as Markus hugs him and he listens to Markus gush over how joyful he is. Markus, however, was slow to realize he was in love. He realized a few months after the revolution when Simon and him moved in together. He knew he loved Simon when he would be thrilled to lay in bed for hours drawing shapes on Simon’s arms and help him when he feels insecure about his past.

G = Are they gentle? Simon is very gentle. It’s part of his nature to hug people softly and talk in a voice that wouldn’t scare anyone. Markus can be gentle, and likes to be around Simon, but sometimes he feels dominant and/or excited so he ends up hugging a little too hard or yelling out of joy accidentally.

H = How do they like to hold hands? They gently interlock their fingers. Simon always holds onto Markus’s hand especially when he feels scared, and Markus sometimes protectively holds onto Simon’s hand when he gets jealous.

I = What was their first impression? Markus’s first impression of Simon was that of a leader. Markus thought Simon was very tough and quiet until he really started talking to him. Simon’s first impression of Markus was that Markus wanted more freedom and he would be helpful around Jericho, but didn’t really think of him as anyone incredibly special.

J = Do they get jealous? Simon gets jealous but doesn’t stand up for himself. If it’s really bad, he’ll talk to Markus about it. However, Markus gets jealous kind of easily. He is discrete about it and holds Simon’s hand a little tighter and speaks with a slight shift in confidence, but doesn’t make a scene.

K = How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss? Markus initiated the first kiss since Simon was too nervous to. Their kisses are either incredibly soft and feather-light or are really passionate.

L = Who said “I love you” first? Simon said “I love you” first. The only reason they remember is because Simon hadn’t felt that way about someone before and was so confused and frustrated. It was during a rough patch and it strengthened their relationship.

M = What is their favorite memory? Their favorite memory is the day Simon visited Carl for the first time. Markus taught Simon how to play piano and Simon asked for life advice from Carl who was really caring and funny. Carl ended up painting the two as a present on their 6 month anniversary and Simon was so happy to learn more about Markus’s past.

N = Do they spoil each other often? Simon loves spoiling Markus by making food art that Markus loves looking at. Markus loves going all out when they do have date nights. Overall, it isn’t often that they spoil each other but when they do it’s extravagant.

O = What color reminds them of their other have? Simon says pale green because of Markus’s one green eye (and their first date) and Markus says icy blue because of Simon’s eyes (plus it’s Simon’s favorite color).

P = What pet names do they use? Simon uses names like babe and bear; meanwhile, Markus uses names like sweetheart and love. Simon loves making up random pet names every time something goofy and/or memorable happens too.

Q = What is their favorite non-modern thing? Vinyls. They love to listen to vinyls together whether it be in the bedroom or while they’re working. They love talking about vinyls together and the history behind vinyls.

R = What do they like to do on rainy days? On rainy days, they like to listen to vinyls and endlessly talk. Sometimes it’s while they clean the house, sometimes it’s while they’re laying in bed wrapping their arms around the other.

S = How do they cheer each other up? Markus knows immediately when Simon is upset so he cancels any plans for the day and takes care of Simon. Not necessarily like you would a child, but he lays with Simon and tries to tell stupid jokes and talk about Europe to make him feel better. Simon cheers up Markus by letting Markus vent about what he gets upset about and tries to big spoon (even when he fails leaving them in a fit of giggles).

T = What do they like talking about? Simon likes talking about passions, animals, and places around the world. Markus does too, but he likes more personal conversations. Small talk bores Markus so they try not to say simple conversation starters or avoid saying something unless they want a conversation.

U = What helps them relax? They both relax by laying around and thinking alone. They realize that sometimes they need some space or something tense happened and the other needs to cool off. Either way, in the end, they always feel relaxed listening to a vinyl and laying in bed together. Especially when it rains.

V = Do they like showing off? Although Simon doesn’t like showing off, Markus loves to show off Simon (of course without overwhelming him). He loves to hold his hand and talk about Simon’s achievements, even if all he did was call Connor to talk. When Markus is at a party, everyone expects him to gloat about being with Simon and how much he loves him. Of course, he tries to be respectful, but ends up gushing over Simon.

W = When/how/where do they propose? Markus plans to propose when they go on their next vacation so they’re both in the best mood possible. He doesn’t want to do it in a traditional way either. He wants to be in the hotel room getting ready when he says “I think I forgot something” leading to him sliding the ring on Simon’s finger and popping the question. It’s weird, but he wants it to be memorable. Oh and Connor would come in with a party popper if Simon says yes (which he most likely would).

X = What’s their song? Best Day of My Life by American Authors

Y = Do they ever think about marriage/proposing? Simon thinks about marriage but doesn’t like talking about it. He wants to be 100% sure that they want marriage. Markus feels the same but would love to see Simon’s reaction to a quirky proposal.

Firstly, I’m glad you figured yourself out at such a young age, at 13 I was still like “i can’t possibly be!” and then at like 15 i was like “nope i am”

Secondly, coming out is difficult and wording it is impossible, I know when I came out to my mom I made it seem like I wasn’t 100% sure despite being 100% sure which is the worst to do.

Explain how you literally feel. “Hey, I identify as male, because when I see myself, I see myself as a boy. When others refer to me as (name) and (your pronouns) I feel great.  Hearing (birth name) and the wrong pronouns make me feel uneasy.” 

Stand your ground, as in don’t go “well, i might be.” Be sure about it, “No, I am trans. I am male.” Even if they begin to say it’s a phase, be sure about it, even if you may still be questioning, any sense of unsureness may cause them to believe it’s a phase. 

Allow them to ask questions, and correct misconceptions. Use examples, good examples of trans people.

Start out easy, “hey, I identify as male” or “I’m trans.” and branch out. 

Give it time, sometimes hinting towards it or bringing up the topic of trans people will help. After coming out officially, still give it time to sink in.

However, if it seems like it’d be dangerous to come out, don’t. Don’t come out to a violently transphobic family member, as much as you want to. Unless you have a literal support system that is there with you to make sure that family member doesn’t do anything to you, don’t.

And it will probably take some people a while to get used to it. Ask them if they can just try to refer to you neutrally. You can get away from being gendered wrong, and they can begin to get used to you not being this image they had in their head.

Because of your age, some may feel like it’s a phase, even if it isn’t. I know I have a cousin who’s your age and trans as well, and I’m sure it was hard at first for his family to adjust to it. His grandmother (my aunt actually) had a hard time understanding it at first. She still isn’t perfect, but I can see she’s trying. But one day, they’ll come around and understand. 

You will also find family members who are so supportive and will switch over quickly. Finding family members or friends or anyone who supports you will help others come around. My friends were supportive as heck, making anyone who dared to misgender me or not understand, gender me correctly and understand. Some of the worst people became somewhat understanding, at least around me, due to the fact that my friends and I both educated them.
