Good day to you! I just stumbled upon your blog because of your art (looks amazing btw) and since you are an original fiction writer, I'm sort of curious about your opinion on something.

People have always reimagined and rewritten characters to be different. Nowadays, they often are changed to not be straight anymore (such as changing same sex friendships to romantic relationships for example). What are your thoughts on this? Would it be better to leave old characters be and write representation in the form of original characters, or is this a legitimate, respectful way of creating more media rep for gay and bisexual characters? And if so, what would you think about someone rewriting your own characters someday, including changing their sexual orientation?

Thank you very much for spending time answering this ask, if you do! If you don't, though, that is understandable, too.

Oh gosh! Thank you, about the art. It gets hard to find motivation to work on OC art when it typically doesn't get any interaction.

As for your question - I mean. When it comes to big media properties, I don't see any particular problem with it. Like, there's this thing big media companies do where they introduce Clearly Queer Coded couples without ever making anything explicit onscreen as a way of trying to have representation without offending bigots. (I'm looking at YOU, Rogue One and The Acolyte!) So if people want to pick out two characters from Star Wars or House of the Dragon or anything like that, go nuts?

As for the stuff I'm writing (obviously very few people have read it yet, hopefully that will change in the near future!) which is queer romance written by a queer person for queer people... The characters I write intentionally reflect mostly invisible aspects of the queer experience: demi pan people, AMAB nbs, bisexual nbs (we exist!), polyamorous people in committed relationships, femme cis men... So, my first impulse is that I'd be miffed if someone changed one of my characters to, like, straight.

But at the same time, sexuality is weird and unpredictable and I think the queer community has gotten WAY TOO FAR into the weeds of nailing down The Exact Specifics of orientation in a way that doesn't allow for growth and self-discovery and that feels pretty at odds with my experience of queerness. So if someone wants to fanon two characters in a way that falls outside of that character's previously "defined" orientation, as long as they're not like "welp, everything about my previous experience was a lie, this is who I am now", then...
