hiii ! i wrote an ungodly ton of oc lore about my two trans ocs so i thought id post it here :) their names are arisaema and impatien ! some things id like to note before we get started: - arisaema triphyllum and impatiens hawkeri "forget-me-not" are both "trans" or gender-changing flowers. - i would like to give them a seperate happy ending or at least a neutral ending where the two get their own partners and move on from each other - narwhal/puppy dynamic (both prone to anxiety animals) - trans girl and transfem aren't the same things. neither is trans man and transmasc. - ivy is in beta still - their deaths are not canon yet -- arisaema is a trans girl and impatien is transmasc. the two meet in middle school when arisaema finds impatien outside their school's building hiding away from the world in the public garden, afraid of being bullied. the two are often ridiculed for their "behaviours" (showing their trans tendencies and identity before realising) due to being in a "christian" school. they bond over the flowers, both of them being avid lovers of greenery, and the two develop a mutual acquaintance over botanical habits and take care of the plants there. as their bond develops overtime, the two grow closer. they have sleepovers and exchange plants. one sleepover, and impatien catches arisaema checking out his bras. "i just wish i had a body like yours." impatien doesn't like the sound of that. insecure from his bullying in the past. does she even treat him like a man or see him as one? what if arisa only likes him for his body? what if she doesn't see him as a man, but a girl with "guy" pronouns? he stops inviting her over for sleepovers ,, less plant exchanges. less text messages received. arisa notices but doesn't say anything about it. after a few months, the two are barely talking. arisa tries to confront impatien about it in the garden they both take care of and they get into a fight. leads to the two verbally and physically roughing each other up. i'd like them both to poke and pick at each other's struggles, which would weigh on them heavier since tgirl and tmasc struggles both hurt equally. leads to impatien overpowering arisa (swimmer). rips open her shirt in an attempt to try and force her to see what damage she caused him, only realising she's making her gender dysphoria worse by poking at the things she fears herself. freaks out and runs off leaving her behind. the two don't talk anymore. still dealing with bullying + ridiculing ,, arisaema gets harassed and ends up committing due to it. left a note for impatien in her bedroom talking about their shared trans experiences and how deeply she loved him, but her parents find the letter first and burn it out of homophobia. impatien didn't get the letter and suffers with guilt thinking he was the cause of her death. leads him to go insane with depression and anxiety. doesn't attend school because the garden was his only place to go but now it reminds him of her. years go by and impatien has forced himself to resign. tried to come out to his parents, but in doing that they forced him into a box and stuck titles on him. he was forced to live as a girl, but he is not a "girl", and knows so. he works as a florist. he's tried to force himself out of his shell but at what cost? meets another trans girl named ivy. immediately horrified bc of what happened to arisaema. she knows he doesn't want to be a woman (little giveaways, carabiner code, nailpolish, left earring and carnation etc) but it scares him knowing that. he brushes her off and forces the flowers she wants into her hands before ushering her out the store. kept up in bed because of what happened to arisaema, so distraught he wakes up in the middle of the night. in a bleary fit he decides to take melatonin but overdoses and dies.
ok so all of this is still in beta i will still most likely tweak their lore <3 but this is just a short explanation of what i plan their story to be like ! you may or may not see designs coming up on my pin (@bachiriirl) so stay tuned for that. if you guys have any struggles being trans/have struggles with your gender, feel free to share them down below ! i'd really like insight on this since some of this is based off of my story and i'd like to hear yours. :) thank you !!
