What is sandy's sexuality?

I remember trying to answer this a while back and really struggling to find the words to describe why.

When I was younger I related to 2D far more than Murdoc, I had debilitating migraines, I had suffered head trauma, and I later began to abuse OTC painkillers at school, was part of the choir and honestly got on with everyone whether I liked them or not. (plus I was scrawny as hell).

Then I started to relate to Murdoc more as time went on. I know friends and family would disagree, but I've always struggled to emotionally express myself or struggle with my emotions. I don't like physical attention because of something awful that happened (and I've been in a bad mood since /sarcasm). For a few years of my youth I began to drink heavily while taking meds and I was severely depressed; sadly I still struggle greatly with depression and up/down moods, which I am trying to work on (I'm not perfect and I still make boo boos). I was severely bullied in grade school and a little into highschool and often my big mouth got me in trouble a lot. I was a bit of a skipper in highschool and a class clown, because by that point people didn't take me seriously... so I stopped being serious.

As an adult I relate to him because there are things that just feel almost painfully familiar to me in his character to myself, whether I like it or not. I've mellowed out in a lot of ways, but I know I have my problems. Plus he's a good outlet for me to express things about myself and things I like. (whether SFW or NSFW).

Rate them from 0-10 10/10, another version of Murdoc I adore lol. Urr'dok is essentially a Nee'tian version of Murdoc but with a lot backstory I suppose.

Sexuality HC He would classify himself (under Earth terms) as gay. His upbringing on Nee't was less then ideal and he normally attempts to remove himself from Nee'tian culture. (He'll pick and choose what he wants to celebrate of his culture).

Gender HC On Nee't he's classified as Half-Male, but on Earth he prefers male and he/him. Stuart respects that and calls him what Urr'dok would prefer. He has a bad time with his Nee'tian gender classification.

Fav Moment/Random Trivia Favourite moment with Urr'dok? I suppose the best moment would be when he finally understands and learns English - then refuses to use it properly. He still after mastering it will call Stuart "human" instead of his name. Stuart views it kind of like an term of endearment. Random trivia, Urr'dok enjoys human alcohol (usually the stronger stuff and only after he's grown used to Earth stuff). He also only ever uses his defence mechanism of growing larger twice in Stuart's presence... both times Stuart was startled, but found it really interesting. (He wanted Urr'dok to carry him and lift him up to things for shits and giggles).

Random HC He's fascinated with human bodies, they're very foreign to him. Stuart quite willingly will put up with Urr'dok just examining his hand or hair. Unlike Stalien, Urr'dok is almost immediately turned off from a lot of Earth food for the first bit. Candies/sweets are too much and everything has far more flavour than what he's used too from home. In part this is due to have a poorer upbringing and lack of decent food, everything was fairly bland because eating is necessity and not done for fun or to try things. Eventually he grows more accustomed to things on Earth.

Rate them from 0-10 2/10, she's caused a lot of strife. A lot.

Sexuality HC Straight as a ruler lol. I don't exactly have much going for her.

Gender HC She prefers to stay cis female and go by she/her. She's not interested in exploring anything beyond what she knows she is and given it's a matriarchal...

Fav Moment/Random Trivia I suppose the moment her face puckers up in sour disappointment is a hilarious/favourite moment when Stuart disowns his family. I have no real trivia to share about her as after a couple moments, she's never really discussed or seen/heard from again haha.

Random HC She's incredibly boring, so much so she collects small porcelain angels despite not being religious. Her favourite pastime is reading harlequin romance and drinking cheap wine from 6am to 6pm. This lady is so basic, she could pull off Uggs. Not to say that being basic is bad, but she's really the shittiest character in the story aside from Seb.

Rate them from 0-10 7/10, this version of Murdoc is... for a lack of better words, very sad. He's a mournful monster of the deep and lacks social skills.

Sexuality HC Gay, he's really only interested in men and that was already an established thing for him well before he was cursed. Though prior to his curse he did sleep with a few women, just to try it out.

Gender HC He's not 100% what his gender is after he's cursed. He still uses he/him, but his body is no longer 'cis male' and really he just is.

Fav Moment/Random Trivia He becomes a silent, lonely guardian of the sea. He cleans up human waste and other trash to convert into ornaments or jewellery just to keep sane all on his lonesome. My favourite moment though is when he rescues Stuart from a surfing accident, which happens three more times after the initial incident... and Murdoc gets a little annoyed this stupid human can't seemingly take a hint. Random trivia - he's well traveled, under the waves. Murdoc has had a long while to explore the ocean on his own and map it's many nooks and crannies.

Random HC Since he spent so long under the waves away from other humans Murdoc stops talking and using English. Eventually he stops being able to form sentences and resorts to noises to talk. (He does gain back the ability to speak in the end).

Rate them from 0-10 8.5/10, she's pretty awesome in this AU. She's a quick learner and sharp with her wit... which I mean you have to be on a ship full of pirates.

Sexuality HC Lesbian, though there was a brief moment of her life where she was forced into a hetero relationship as per the customs of the time for young women of affluent families. However she ran off with Murdoc & Stuart when they visited the port town.

Gender HC CIS Female. She's not above posing as a man though if it suits her needs.

Fav Moment/Random Trivia My favourite moment is when she proves, to anyone that doubts her, completely and utterly wrong. She's headstrong and very much capable about holding her own. In this AU she's learned that the only way a woman like her will survive is if she forges a place for herself in the world where people either fear her or respect her (either out of fear or because she knows what she's doing).

Random HC She's not above teasing Stuart (her childhood friend) about "taking" Murdoc for a spin despite having no interest in really doing so because she knows he's a bit of a jealous type. She's also a better pirate than Stuart is lol.
