Who's /this/ douchebag?!

Hey all, Alix here, crashing the shindig with this art deco sex demon I found in the garbage. Cue the music.

I finally finally got off my ass and apped Desire, one of the delightfully dysfunctional Endless from the Sandman comics, please tell me someone here is unfamiliar with Sandman so I can get on my soapbox and talk about it for a million years in both gushing and critical ways because wow the 90s were awesome but also got some things so so wrong.

Case in point: Desire's gender is so changeable it's not even funny, being basically both/neither/question mark/what's a binary anyway, and never constant in the comics, but we have a better understanding of nonbinary identity these days than to pull crap like the comics do, like referring to Desire as either "he/she" or "it." "It" is not an acceptable pronoun. Like okay Neil I get that you're writing about an archetype, in the early 90s, but there are actual people in the actual world with fluid identities and using pronouns that treat them like inanimate objects is so not kosher.

See what I said about the soapbox? So Desire's pronouns are they/them, welcome to the world of tomorrow!

The application is here and permissions post is here, both spoiler-free! (do we need to tag spoilers for media that's like 25 years old?)

So: if you're up to get down with this villainous entity made of synth and glitter, sign up and we can brainstorm ways for Desire to meddle with your character. Manhattan is just one giant cat tree to them, and they want to rub their face all over it.
