I'm just gonna casually hang out here with my OC's. I actually have a minority of straight characters, since I have just 3. (Andre is Pan and thus DOES NOT COUNT.) I don't have any trans OC's though. Hmm. I do have Circe and my 3rd dancing princess though.... I guess they could be the ones with alternate gender identities. (Heh, instead of the Sea Witch looking like a drag queen like in The Little Mermaid, she's ACTUALLY a trans female. Hmm. Sounds good to me.)

As far as other questions mentioned in the original post.....

I'm now totally all for Ace/Aro Apple. I've never really had any ships for her anyway, not even Rapple or Dapple. Maybe I subconsciously thought she would't actually be into relationships? I dunno.

Trans Boy Hopper is my new favorite thing, actually. Also, maybe Greygender!Poppy? I could see her as sometimes wanting to feel more androgynous, rather than female, and go by gender-neutral pronouns. I dunno. Maybe just me. (Probably because she reminds me of a real-life friend who feels like that.)

Oh! Until I created Venetia, I actually shipped RavenxDexterxCupid. I hate love triangles, so now whenever I see one I generally begin shipping them as a polyship. Why pick one when you can have both (with explicit consent), am I right? (I mean it about the consent thing though. Cheating is something I condone only in very specific circumstances.)

I'm all for Brotp's, especially between roommates. Rapple and Blondid are probably my faves.

As far as my OC's go, their sexualities and preferences are pretty diverse, as well as their out/acceptance levels. Anteros and Karina aren't out, Karina to anyone and Anteros to anyone but his closest friends. Arion's parents aren't known to have an opinion on the matter, but I think they're pretty chill with it. (Bigger fish to fry, and all that.) Andre's parents are out of the picture, but Rose's parents are pretty accepting of him. (Though that may be because he's mostly Rose-sexual.) Venetia has a pretty good relationship with her adoptived parents, but at the start of her tale they don't know that she's Pan, or that she's really into Cupid. They might not be so ok with that. (The ancient Greeks, while very ok with gay relationships between men, weren't so keen on girl-girl ones. I headcanon that Vini's parents reflect that. Overtime, probably with Eros's help, they'll learn to accept her.) Reginald, Karina and Tina have the worst relationships with their parents. Tina doesn't remember her real parents, having lived with Regi for as long as she can remember. Regi's parents are those people that the whole LGBTQ+ community hates: homophobic, conservative, rich entitled jerkfaces. Neither Regi nor Tina visit home a lot anymore due to their attitude; they've basically disowned them before they could be disowned. Karina's mother is also one of these people, hence why Karina tries her very best to push down any attraction she has towards anyone her mom doesn't approve of, including girls. (It's a "Parent notice me!" thing, only instead of the son wishing for his father's approval, it's a daughter wanting her mom's approval. ....Man why are my fave characters always so angsty?!?!) So instead she actually comes off as Ace. I only just realized this today, but it's actually a subversion of the "Bi's are sluts" trope that many people, even within the LGBTQ+ community, believe is true.

Oh, also Arion is technically Demisexual Homoromantic, and not what one would consider a "true" (note the quotes) gay. He's still hella gay though, just minus the immediate physical attraction part. He'll think certain boys are cute, but not necessarily "sexy."
