All Louis’ life, he’s known he’s been different. There’s always been something at odds about how he felt.
As the eldest daughter of seven kids, he knew something was wrong with his body. Something was off, he just couldn’t quite put his finger on it. His mum dressed him in dresses and tights, plaits in his hair as he wandered around with the local neighborhood boys. They called him a girl, called him she and Rosemary when his name is Louis. He had told the boys as such, but they would tell him Louis is a boy’s name, not a girl’s.
Louis is a boy. He knows he is.
the one where louis is trans and afraid, harry is cis and brave, and being 100% yourself is easier said than done.
don't be afraid to love (and love again) (83.2k)

Prompt 266
Back on my Danny & Ras frienemies/rivals/maybe-lovers-nobody-can-tell-their-signals-are-very-mixed train.
See, Danny has gone through time a lot. Often. It comes with being Clockwork’s charge-son-thing and honestly he finds it fun. And several times he’s used this time travelling to get some training in. Enter Ras, stage left, also a teen at the time and also learning swordsmanship from the same person.
And they… utterly despise each other. They would kill the other for an apple slice, if the other one would die! But also, only they can kill the other, as it is obviously their right!
And well, they keep running into each other. It has been a hundred years, surely the other would die by now? But of course their rival would live through utter spite. Probably to spite them specifically.
The amount of times they have ended up sparring- trying to kill each other or not- the moment they see the other is actually ridiculous. But time is also passing. And… Danny understands, not having another to talk about things people are forgetting, or have already forgotten.
How they ended up actually talking without a murder attempt was a long story that included a demon, a dragon, a pair of fae, some bandits, and a lot of alcohol, but it happened. And then it happens again. And again, and now it’s just kind of normal to share a drink after their spars, talking about things that no longer exist, and things they miss.
Sure Danny can go back in time again, but he knows better than to do it willy nilly. He’s matured, he’s been an adult for a hundred years now, he knows there’s consequences for messing with time, even with Clockwork’s blessings.
The first time they got married was technically for an undercover assassination. Well, Ras was there to assassinate someone, Danny was there to grab an artifact that should Not be in the realm of the living. And they got divorced after, it was fine.
They just, also got married again when they met a few years later, for another job. And… okay, so maybe they have gotten married over a dozen times now and only divorced like half of those times. Half of those were for the bit or while drunk!
And even if technically they’re married or shared a bed, it’s not like they're exclusive! As Ras’ daughters’ existences attest to (adopted in one case or not). They don’t exactly have a label for their relationship, despite others asking for one or trying to put a name to it themselves.
Now Danny knows Ras isn’t exactly a good dude, or at least on the side of ‘good’ as he’s a literal assassin. But he also knows that good? Bad? Rather relative. He had gotten labeled as a villain when he was just trying to help all that time ago after all, and really who was he to tell someone else how to live their life?
Which brings him to now, where he’s run into his old frienemy-rival and his youngest daughter. Who has a braindead teenager and a small toddler. Which is fine, really- but also, Talia dear, why are you using a brain dead teenager to guard your three year old son?
…
Okay, Talia dear, Ras (Derogatory), why are you using your brain dead son and grandson to guard your younger son and grandson? Do you not have the Pits, which you were soo proud about Ras? Yes, he will spar with you, but for Realms’ sake, heal, what’s his name? Ah yes, go heal Jason and he’ll actually stick around for a few years, deal? Good.

MK’s symbol is an ancient Chinese Diagram (season 5 spoilers)
So, what is this? It sure looks a lot like MK’s symbol, but what is it, and how is it important for season 5?
Well… Because it can be tracked back to the thoughs five colored stones from the new set.
To understand what I mean by this, we first have to look at what this symbol even means which is: “to harbor or protect dualism" ( aka yin and yang”)
The symbol shows this through the black and white pattern throughout it. And with it there is sometimes even a smaller, empty circle in the middle, to show emptiness as the core in Duality.
But that’s not all because this symbol is actually part of something called the Tajitu(太極圖), which is something that is IN Lego Monkie Kid!
(original picture is upright)
More specifically in this scene where MK “opens up his mind”.
The bottom two circles Aline with these two, who symbolize heaven and earth, aka opposites.
And then we have this little star which matches perfectly with the diagram for something called “the five phases”, or as we are going to know them in Lego Monkie kid: Nüwa’s five magical stones.
Just take a look at the set’s vs the five phases! It’s the same! There is even a myth where Nüwa mended the heavens using these five colored stones which symbolized the five phases!
And if continue on to the second last symbol? That’s the top one, which represents “Wuji” or the start of the universe, where MK (or more specifically MKs symbol being underneath.
And even if I’m wrong about MK’s symbol, this right here would be a pretty good replacement! MK symbol then representing him being in the “center” of everything.
But what even is the Tajitu, at its "core"? Well, it represents the "Taji" also meaning “utmost extreme" or “The Supreme Ultimate”. There is a lot to talk about here but to make it simple it is:
“a cosmological state of the universe and its affairs on all levels, involving the interaction of Yin and Yang, the Five Phases and finally, all the concrete things in the universe.” – Wikipedia
Conclusion:
MK is INCREDBLY powerful, and I am just as excited as I am terrified to what all this means for his “fate”.
Fun fact: I made this originally for a theory video about MK’s fate and Nüwa’s goal, so if you are interested go check it out here

Sorry sorry I know I'm being a little cringe pffF
I personally I don't headcanon him as trans all the time, however I do find the idea cute
BUT it doesn't matter if he is trans or not, since I am and this silly guy helped me a lot through my top surgery that I had three months ago, as well as the recovery and especially through the post-op depression :')
So I'm giving him the honors of being drawn with my new scars <33

here I am like an insane person squinting at my laptop trying to read the barely-in-focus page of "the richmond way" by trent crimm that we get to see on screen and that makes ted laugh
this is what i've managed:
"In the winter of 2020, on a sunny and crisp morning I bumped into an old acquaintance of mine in the tree lined banks of the river Thames. Smiling at the world, he strolled comfortably with hands in pockets, the man seeming without a care or stress in the world.
On noticing me he exclaimed, and led his friend placing an arm over the man's shoulder over to me, already singing my praises and opening his greetings with a well meaning a personally insightful question.
The man, of course, was Ted Lasso. A Kansas born American football coach come UK coaching phenomenon.
Few of my interviewees would have such a reaction to seeing me outside of their working lives, knowing that I could ask questions that would make them uncomfortable or they wouldn't know how to answer. As well as knowing that what they chose [to] share with me was not in confidence but could be shared with all of those that read my articles. However for Ted this [??] never made an impact. For Ted, everyone that comes into his life is a potential friend, [no matter?] the circumstances of meeting. This attitude, it becomes clear, and I truly hope you will understand the power of its effect by the time you finish reading this book, contributed not only to Ted's personal life but to the sporting capabilities of the AFC Richmond team. When I first met ted the [??] was different. Humiliation would best describe Ted's first press conference. [...]"
the rest of it is so fucking blurry i cant read it for shit but hello? this is a love letter to ted
