I still can't get over that apparently the way to make me like AUs is to have me RP them. I wouldn't read something tagged with some of what I've been writing with a gun to my head but I'm having a fantastic time. how does that work.
I actively wanted to do this au, even
who am I!
cannot express to you how much I normally hate modern AUs!
though I guess with all the crime syndicates and thirens and stuff it's not entirely a modern au even if vegas is there
and the weird criminal genders we've invented
criminal genders you say
but yeah a lot of the fun is also in like. crafting that shit
The criminal genders are girl (sex worker) and man (gangster)
They do not have associated pronouns
So lots of working girls are he/him
Stares thoughtfully. I think this means Clorinde is a man in the current thread, on top of Kaveh being a girl. (...a lot of random background characters are here.)
(This is actually a Lyney/Rizzo thread but there’s a Cast.)
Clorinde's gender is definitely gangster
yeah definitely
List of genders, non exhaustive:
- girl (sex worker)
- man (gangster)
- bride (housework)
- groom (heavy lifting)
- hearth-wife (cooking)
- field-husband (farming)
- girl (sex worker)
- man (gangster)
- bride (housework)
- groom (heavy lifting)
- hearth-wife (cooking)
- field-husband (farming)
stop making me want to do weird genders
If English is going to have all these behavioral and societal connotations on words I am going to rub my queer little hands all over them and make it weird
that said I feel like there's room for "boss" to be like, a separate gender from regular gangster
That’s true
of that extended list, Clorinde is still a man
God. That would however mean that Diamond, Jade, and Neuvillette have the same gender, and one of our Boothills transitions from man to boss
that seems about right
tho in gangsterland Jade's gender is Dame
I think actually Jade’s gender is Madam in this case, which is... boss but for working girls
yeah that's accurate
what is a dame if not a self-employed sex worker? lmao
She isn’t really one of those in those AUs she’s just a uh. Really shitty club/brothel owner who exploits the hell out of pretty homeless girls
a femme fatale, and all
yeah she does do that
navia's gender is also rightly boss
yes
That’s true
like. that's just canon.
not even an AU
Yeah
yeah thats just the facts
whines now i want to crunch on an AU with somebody. haven't done that in ages
It’s contagious
Also Ollie and I are like. Fully deranged we have so many
sometimes you just find someone who matches your freak
Apparently!!!
[counts] eleven? Twelve if you count Ashura/Kay separately from Ashura/Roulette (Kay is Roulette reincarnated)
rubs my AU lovin' hands over everybody
I am always up to discuss and or play them
