That feel when you realize that being obsessed for several years with the idea of Minbari having three sexes might possibly have been related to feelings you also have about your own gender.


Me: I don't really self-insert much.
Also me: *takes canonical earnest nerd, makes them nonbinary, ships them like hell with my female fave, writes a billion fic*

Heh.

the idea of Minbari having three sexes

I like!

[nenya_kanadka]

It made so much sense from the moment rivendellrose and gaslightgallows suggested it that I honestly usually forget it isn't technically canon.

(Marriage in threes being strongly approved of in Minbari culture IS, though...)

Everything else is indeed in threes! And even after they redid her makeup post-pilot, Delenn looked pretty nonbinary to me. It just really does seem like a missing piece of canon.

it isn't technically canon.
I would have completely believed you if you'd said it is, it does make a lot of sense.

I'm so pleased that the concept has appealed to so many people. It felt very niche at the time! ...9 years ago. D: XD
