Harvest-Unity Posted May 7, 2023 Posted May 7, 2023 Elaborating on The Owl House since its mentioned a lot [Spoilers for all seasons] Spoiler OK so the great thing about the Owl house is that not only does it have four different non-binary characters, but all of them are different in other aspects of their character, making them seem normal while also showing that non-binary is an umbrella term and not all are the same. First we have Raine Whispers, who used they/them, and according to the voice actor is transmasc. They present pretty androgynously. They are middle-aged. They're also brown which is cool because trans people of colour are often underrepresented. They are a part of the main general cast in season 2/3 Second we have Masha, who also uses they/them. They present in a feminine way. They're a teenager. They're a side character that appears a couple of times. Then we have The Collector, who uses he/they. They're technically an immortal being, but is implied to be their species equivilant of a child. They are one of the main antagonists in season 2/3. They don't really present in a feminine or masculine way. And lastly we have Papa Titan, who I think is safe to say would be chill with any problems. He's ok with masculine titles such as 'Dad' and doesn't seem to be mind being perceived in a masculine way. Their gender is revealed when he is asked if he is King's Dad, he says 'I think King said it best, I am both King and Queen, best of both worlds!' making them possibly bigender? Some people have also pointed out its possible his species, the Titans, are intersex and/or reproduce asexually. The Titan is a semi-immortal being who is/was 400+ years. He only appears in the finale but is still an important character for the show. 1 Quote
Queerdo Posted May 7, 2023 Posted May 7, 2023 Catching up on Star Trek, but I think they've really been knocking it out of the park between Strange New Worlds (Captain Angel) and Prodigy (Zero). Quote
Whirl Posted May 8, 2023 Posted May 8, 2023 I think no one has mentioned it yet, but in the new transformers (earthspark) there's a cannon NB transformer! They're called Nightshade, their alt mode is an owl and they're so cool y'all Maybe when I'm home later today I'll add some pics and clips of them, but for now here's some lines from memory that may or may not be 100% correct: "What a gift, to know oneself so young"— this is from tarantulas, an older transformer, to Nightshade. Their episode together according to the writers is about meeting queer elders as a young queer "What a wonderful word, for a wonderful experience"— Nightshade says this once they learn the word nonbinary. They always knew who they were, but this was the first time they learned the word that described them! Also they literally say nonbinary, out loud and proudly. God I love this show. 2 Quote
CatNap Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 That sounds amazing! I should check this show out (since I watch the same one over and over-). Quote
DeltaAro Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Milius in Rebel Moon. Played by non-binary actor E. Duffy. This is canon, according to Jack Snyder. Quote
dewy Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Shiver from Splatoon! She's not canonically nonbinary but a lot of fans interpret them that way ever since they were revealed in the Splatoon 3 trailer because of her androgynous appearance. Many see him as transmasculine from seeing the sarashi on their chest, but I've also seen transfeminine headcanons. Shiver canonically uses she/her pronouns, but my headcanon is that she's ok with any pronouns and unlabeled. I love the diversity of headcanons I've seen about them. Also Arval from Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. I haven't gotten far in the game at all, but they use they/them pronouns and look awesome. 1 Quote
The Newest Fabled Creature Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Has anyone said anything about Frankie Stein from Monster High yet? Quote
Ekaterina Posted February 2 Posted February 2 (edited) In a very good Soviet/Russian children's book Лоскутик и Облако (Little Patchwork and the Cloud) one of the main heroes, a literal sentient cloud, is technically non-binary. Helped by the fact that the word cloud, облако, is grammatically neuter-gendered in Russian. The character is referred through the book with neuter pronoun оно (closest English equivalent would be "it"), doesn't present in a specially feminine or masculine way behavior-wise or appearance-wise; being a cloud, it changes its appearance on its mood, sometimes taking animal forms, sometimes human forms of whoever it was interacting with recently (whether male or female people). In the world of the book not all clouds are necessarily genderless - we meet the Cloud's grandmother, and she's referred to as Бабка Грозовая Туча (Granny Stormcloud), where the word туча, meaning raincloud/stormcloud, is grammatically feminine. (Existence of this word demonstrates that if the author wanted to make the central character binary she could easily use this word, its more narrow meaning would work with the story still since the Cloud's association with rain is key to the plot, but she still went with the gender-neutral облако).

Picklethewickle Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Sabi Mehboob, the main character of the tv show Sort Of, is genderfluid. Quote
Picklethewickle Posted February 9 Posted February 9 In Star Wars: The High Republic: Quest for Planet X the character Sky is canonically non-binary. The story even talks about disphoria and binding. Quote
dewy Posted February 29 Posted February 29 (edited) Acht from Splatoon canonically uses they/them pronouns. It's cool because they were a minor character before and haven't been referred to until the recent Splatoon DLC. I didn't expect it since they look a bit more fem and we haven't had a canonically nonbinary character in Splatoon before, so it's cool to see some representation. Edited February 29 by dewy Quote
smac n cheese Posted February 29 Posted February 29 Double Trouble from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're not a main character, but they're important to the plot, and absolutely iconic , and a plus, even the big bad villain respects their they/them pronouns, which I thought was neat! Quote
squinkiy Posted April 2 Posted April 2 ok so.... paintbrush from inanimate insanity!! you cna watch it on yt!

P4R4D0X Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I make content that is practically oozing with representation, (no, I don't have a YouTube channel or anything, its kinda a thing I do when I'm bored) and plan on making quite a few enby characters. Name suggestions anyone? Quote
Picklethewickle Posted April 3 Posted April 3 16 hours ago, P4R4D0X said: Name suggestions anyone? Name them something that symbolizes their primary emotions or thoughts. Concepts are fun because they can be genderless, or can have gender connotations. Giving someone who has a masc appearance a feminine name can create a mixed sense of gender, and a name with no gender connotations can defy the sense of gender-binary. Quote
Rook on the Hook Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Big fan of Nico Sanjrani in the Expanse TV show. They have like 5 minutes of screen time and are a somewhat morally dubious person but seeing a middle aged character who I could relate both my body and gender presentation so heavily to at that point in my transition hit me really, really hard when I first watched the show. It was one of those "oh!! Maybe I do have a future ahead of me after all!" moments. 1 Quote
just-another-human Posted August 18 Posted August 18 (edited) hiss majesty from trials of apollo is one of my favorite enby characters, as well as pottery barn from magnus chase. theres also epiales from the sun and the star. alex fierro from magnus chase is genderfluid, loki from magnus chase is genderfluid. they are the only ones that come to mind immediately, but i think theres more edit: masha and raine from the owl house Edited September 6 by just-another-human Quote
Guest Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Timestamped to the relevant part (3:33) Essentially the party (red-haired is the male MC) met this young teen in the journey and they’re fond of the red-haired MC. Can’t remember what caused a Spoiler boss fight between them, in the boss fight battle sprite it’s revealed that they have breasts. But after the fight and back to dialogues, you keep seeing them in their default sprite, before the boss fight, you can’t even tell whether or not they have breasts, and after the boss fight, you find it hard to imagine they have breasts under their default clothes, but it doesn’t matter, they are themselves no matter what. Bonus points for the cloak to hide the chest effectively. They look androgynous, the rest of the party was just confused on their gender, while MC had assumed them as a boy the whole time, until the revelation that they’re neither boy nor girl. Bonus points to the MC for being explicitly supportive to gay marriages. Damn, 2016, I was just a middle schooler when this game released and I played it. Quote
squinkiy Posted October 4 Posted October 4 back on this thread to mention shep and stevonnie from steven universe :3 Quote
