I’ll die on the hill that fem!Stede is butch. Canon Stede didn’t get called a woman twice + get constant shit for failing at masculinity to be an ultra femmey lady. She is a faggy butch in a 3 piece suit. Her carabiners match her vests. Butch Stede til I die!!!!!!! Stede fails femininity too!!! - ThreadSky

*thank you!!!* Gif.

Also fem Ed is extremely feminine, short skirt, crop top, high heels, full make up that just want to wear a pair of basket, jeans and a comfy hoodie.

I AM ALWAYS SAYING THIS!!!!!

zstraps.bsky.social•1 day ago

ABSOLUTELY YES she’s a faggy butch!!!!! too butch to perform femininity correctly, but then once she stops trying, she gets self conscious about being too fastidious to be butch (not self conscious enough to give up her floral teal brogues tho) good thing ed loves her exactly as she is 😭

yes i love your brain

the-widow-olivia.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh my god yes. Imagine butch lesbian Stede finding the cursed suit. She would NEVER let it go!

adamarks.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sorry I should be coherent. Oh god butch stede in the suit. Oh god

the-widow-olivia.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think “woman” and three drool faces was very coherent, personally!

adamarks.bsky.social•2 days ago

🤤 woman 🤤🤤

redwrensailing.bsky.social•2 days ago

YES THANK YOU! I have always felt so weird about people making her femme bc Stede’s whole THING is being gender non-conforming

redwrensailing.bsky.social•2 days ago

(Which is obviously not to suggest that femmes are not gender non-conforming but it just isn’t the right kind imo)

adamarks.bsky.social•2 days ago

I getcha femmes I’ve spoken to often define it as being like “spiteful conformity” which imo is so much more interesting to look at in regards to Ed! Stede is supposed to look wrong when he performs his gender yknow?

redwrensailing.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes yes yes 👏

citrussyndicate.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh my god. I never considered this and now it’s my new life!

citrussyndicate.bsky.social•2 days ago

And this would make Ed an ultra feminine girl who dreams of being able to shed that persona to be more butch.

blackdelphinium.bsky.social•2 days ago

Transfemme Ed who went off the deep end to "prove" her femininity, and butch, AFAB, maybe enby Stede

adamarks.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes exactly I also like the idea of Ed swapping her like ultra evil businesswoman (pirate style) femininity for just very soft colors. She did what she felt she had to to be a respected woman and now she gets to wear pink fluffy sweaters and no makeup and just be Ed

LOOOOVEEEEEE

ur so wise i feel the same even though i like to draw stede with long flowy hair i do think she's chopping that shit off as soon as she's got rid of mark and the kids. she's confusing her parents. nobody knows if she's a boy or girl it's the stede bonnet manifesto!!!!

adamarks.bsky.social•2 days ago

HAHAH I will say it’s not like some butches don’t have long hair the world is your oyster. Por qué no los dos as they say. I do like the image of her cut hair somehow factoring into her faking her death tho

stedebonnet.bsky.social•2 days ago

no of course sorry i will be honest i don't know what a lot of terms mean i shouldn't have assumed xxxx i thought it was just a tomboy which is what i used to be that's my bad <3 ignoree

uncertaindelights.bsky.social•2 days ago

If it's interesting to you, I encourage you to read about butch and femme identities--not because it's homework but because it made the lights go on in my brain. Stone Butch Blues, a classic, is free to download--it's heavy but incredible.

uncertaindelights.bsky.social•2 days ago

Most of the stuff I read on my tear through thinking about gender is out of print but this might make me take a look at what's out there. I read a lot of anthologies to hear from different people, back in the day.

stedebonnet.bsky.social•2 days ago

i got to chapter 4 i'm really enjoying it but i probably shouldn't have read before bed it's quite harrowing 😭 great writing

adamarks.bsky.social•2 days ago

Anyway yeah no need to apologize I just genuinely meant if you like drawing her with long hair but like seeing her as butch as well it just means u can explore the space not that she’d necessarily have to have short hair!

stedebonnet.bsky.social•2 days ago

oh sick i just didn't wanna step on any toes or offend <3 well sorry stede ur still chopping it off baby you need the emotional catharsis

adamarks.bsky.social•2 days ago

Oh why are you apologizing!! I wasn’t upset. Butch does usually feature short hair and can be used somewhat interchangeably with tomboy. Some butches like to have long hair in a way that feels more masc to them though, which has been pretty common since i believe the like 50s…?
