Peridot (Steven Universe) is a Rogue of Mind.

Aspect on this one is just obvious. Logic and rationality with a potential for cold callousness? Plus she's green??? Mind. Duh.

I'm more flexible on Class, but I think Rogue fits quite well. Rogue's arcs are specifically about fighting the status quo and changing society. Nepeta is the most anti-casteist troll, and Roxy is actively anti-Condence specifically because of what she did to Earth.

Peridot starts off her journey as the relatively mid-caste role of technician. She follows Yellow Diamond because she believes she is a being of pure logic and rationality, but turns on her when presented with evidence to the contrary. She goes on to be one of the most gung-ho members of the Crystal gems.

The Diamonds are stuck in their self-important identities and mired in their emotions (overabundance of Heart), and have created a system that allows them to continue the status quo. Peridot is intent on changing the system to align with the facts of reality.

So there!

Writing Advice for Brainstorming

Mix genres and time periods: Experiment by combining elements from different eras or genres to create unique settings and narratives.

Use "what if" scenarios: Pose unexpected questions (e.g., What if time travel operated on emotions rather than mechanics?) to spark novel ideas.

Draw from diverse mediums: Engage with art, music, or even scientific papers to inspire unexpected plot twists.

Embrace absurdity: Let illogical or surreal ideas guide you; sometimes the wildest thoughts lead to compelling stories.

Reverse clichés: Identify common tropes in your favorite genres and deliberately invert them to create fresh perspectives.

Incorporate personal anomalies: Transform your idiosyncrasies and personal struggles into rich, multi-dimensional characters.

Use mind-mapping: Visually plot your ideas in a freeform way to uncover hidden connections between disparate elements.

Put your fucking knight on a leash it keeps trying to duel mine

So...did u get deja vu?

the statements "clothes don't have gender" and "clothes can and do invoke gender dysphoria and euphoria for many people" can and should coexist.

TRANS MASC STAN

But he realizes really late on.

———

Sure, Stan always knew he was weird as a kid, he liked playing in the dirt/sand, he was never interested in typical girl things. He liked frogs and worms and being gross.

Caryn always threatened him with manners classes cause Stan would burp as loud as possible just to be irritating. He’d act out because he doesn’t *want* to be a traditional woman.

Things go according to cannon and Ford falls through the portal. Stan gets the bright idea to pretend to be Ford like in cannon, however, living as a man feels GOOD. In fact, it feels euphoric. So he gets on T and that feeling of gender euphoria just gets more and more intense. Then, he goes and gets top surgery and it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to him.

He’s a man.

He chooses the name Stanley because yeah, he’s gotta pretend to be Stanford, but also…he wants a piece of his brother with him for real. He goes by Stan for short and to stay under the radar, but Stanley is the name he calls himself in his head.

Thirty years pass and Ford comes out of the portal, but there’s a very different conversation this time.

There’s more anger in Stanford because not only did Stan steal his life, his house and his name, but he also stole his FACE. Stan took his identity, to the point that he got SURGERY.

Dipper and Mabel are FLOORED.

If you go the trans Dipper route, Dipper is THRILLED. He’s always viewed Stan in a pretty negative light, but he’s never viewed him as anything other than a man. That just makes him more hopeful for his future, that one day he’ll be seen as a man at first glance and that people who LIVE with him will never know otherwise!

Things eventually reach a boiling point.

Ford snaps.

“You’ve always wanted to copy me! You even had that phase back in middle school where you even tried to dress like me! All your life you’ve practically suffocated me with your presence! Everything about you now is just me! This is delusional! You can’t be me! I am me and there’s no changing it, you can have as much surgery as you want and try as hard as you can but you won’t be me! It’s weird, Steph!”

Stanley, who is PISSED that Ford keeps calling him Steph in retaliation to things is ready to throttle Ford.

“I don’t want to be you! I want to be myself! I don’t want your life, I want my own life! I just like being a man more than being a woman! It feels better! Take your name, take your life, hell, take the house! That won’t stop me from living the rest of my life as a man!”

Dipper, Mabel and Soos are just…shook asf.

Dipper pipes up, first he starts off in a mumble, but Mabel puts a hand on his shoulder and his confidence grows.

He explains that he’s trans, it’s not that he wants to LOOK like someone or just look like a boy, he wants to BE a boy. Stan and Dipper bond more on this side of things because holy shit. They both had NO clue about each other but now they have someone to relate to.

Stan has to get over the guilt of the jokes he’d make about Dipper not being manly and such, he repays him with tips and tricks, how to use mascara to make the peach fuzz on your face look more like stubble, safe binding tips, etc. I LOVE THEM OKAY? Dipper and Stan teach/learn from each other.

I like the idea of Stan not really viewing himself as trans until this point. He just likes being a man…he was fine with being a girl before…right? So it’s not like…y’know…but nah, Dipper talks about his road to discovery and Stan is just like “oh fuck I’m trans. That’s crazy.”

As things go on Ford is still angry with Stan but, still wants him out. There’s just too much going on between them.

Then. The memory gun happens, and Ford is heartbroken because any photos he has of Stanley and him together is when they were brother and sister.

He thinks back to how dipper described how he wished he was born a boy…and he can’t give that to Stan. He has to remind Stan about the person he used to be and he feels terrible for it.

(Cue jokes I make to myself about someday having dementia and asking the nurse at the nursing home where my tits are every fifteen minutes. )

Blah, blah, blah, then they set sail as twin brothers.

Stanley and Stanford.
