I just got this AO3 comment and I'm over here melting with glee because they got it.

Like, except the character I flagged up as a trans girl to give context to one of the lines this commenter notes (canonically we only know she's a girl), this fic doesn't reference anybody's identity in the sense of, for instance, "trans girl". But deadnaming and self-naming, and building a new self from the ashes of the old, and who one is when freed of who people are telling one to be? Queer themes like those? That's exactly what this story is about.

Summary:

"All right, kids," snarls Hawkmoth, "watch what a man who's got nothing to lose can do!"

He fights like it, Chat observes, reckless and risky, and Ladybug and Chat are lucky he hasn't come out personally before: they might have Cataclysm in reserve but they're exhausted and he's taken them down

Carapace's flung shield knocks Hawkmoth off his feet. Queen Bee tangles her top around his ankle. Rena Rouge flashes past him, snatching the brooch from his throat. His transformation falls before he hits the platform.

Queen Bee shrieks, "Agreste?"

Chat blinks.

Phew, okay! I've got our community tags up. Or, well, as many as I can think of, at any rate. I'm sure there's a bunch I missed, and fandom tags in particular I'll have to add as we go.

Anyone who wants to is welcome to look over the tag list and request that I add something to it, especially if it's something I missed. This was just everything I could come up with off the top of my head, and while it covers a lot of stuff, I know I'm not perfect and didn't think of everything or everyone. Please also let me know if you spot any spelling mistakes or typos; I'm still not entirely used to the keyboard on my new laptop, which will account for some slipups, but definitely not all of them.

Let's see here, what else. Oh! CW is short for Content Warning, and warns for types of content that people might not want to deal with or, in the case of NSFW (literally: Not Safe For Work), is the type of thing they might get in trouble for having a record of on a work computer. Media is for reviews and shoutouts about various forms of media that have representation of us, good and bad. Everything else should be fairly self-explanatory, I think.

Since Dreamwidth has a tag limit of 1000 for free accounts (1500 for paid, 2000 for premium paid), there may come a time when I have to combine some lesser-used tags in order to preserve some more-used tags. We've still got close to 900 tags to go before reaching the free account limit, though, so I'm pretty sure we'll be okay for a while.

Thanks to everyone who's joined so far, and if you have any feedback, I would be very interested in it!

Edit: It looks like I have tags hidden somehow at the moment? Lemme go take a look around, see how I need to fix that.

Edit 2: Apparently all unused tags were marked as "private" in the tag management thing. There's probably a better way to fix that, but it's late and I'm tired, so my current workaround is: Literally tag this post with every single tag available. (For the record, I tried doing that and then untagging everything, but the tags went right back to being private, so that shortcut is a no-go.)

Relationships: Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug, Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir & Plagg

Summary:

"You could have asked me," Chloé says irritably. "Why does Dupain-Cheng even carry menstrual pads? That's girl stuff."

Because she's a girl? Adrien almost says. Someday he wants to tell Chloé he himself isn't, though. What else could—

"I know people who menstruate, Chloé," Marinette says. "Some of my best friends are menstruators."

"So you think it'll get you in girls' pants?" asks Chloé. "You know she's straight, right?"

Adrien has lost track of the pronoun referents here.



...

...so what are we thinking in terms of how to tag community posts for consistency and usefulness?
