Ok I'm gonna talk about the trans parent meet trans kid post along with the she like me fr posts I made earlier

(l love reversal the angst to fluff moment by the way)

But ussop has no idea his dad is trans. Whenever he brought it up to his mom she would just state 'they wanted to be free and finally allowed themselves to do it' usopp thought for a long time it meant free from them, Free form responsibility, he started kinda resenting his dad. I say kinda because his mom didn't see it that way she would always talk fondly about his dad and reassured it leaving was in no ill will towards her or usopp but the opposite.

He never understood what she meant. When she passed and figured out his gender he needed to leave. The syrup village is great but very traditional and he needs to go in so he can transition and live how he wants. He also met his beautiful trans girlfriend sanji who would kill and die for him. And would kill his dad if he asked (she'd do it anyway)

Two years later and they meet up with the red hair pirates. Seeing his dad after years of questions were answered. She was trans like him, he understands what his mom meant by being free. The reunion was private she's already stressed enough having to come out to her child she doesn't want to make it worse in front of strangers (except for Luffy. Luffy didn't know yasopp pre-transition he honestly thought usopp just had two moms and they produced a baby somehow)

After hugs, kisses and long needed apologies they really started to rekindle something especially since both are trans I mean what are the odds? She is living her dream and living her truth like he is.

He introduced her to his wonderful girlfriend sanji. She was ready to tear into yasopp for abandoning usopp. Then she actually met her and it all clicked, she understands more than anyone why she left. Saving herself from ridicule and also protecting her family's images in the process. She did the exact same thing running away from home getting away from her brothers who don't understand and her father who doesn't want to understand. She understands her completely

Sanji ends up talking to her longer than usopp did much to his enjoyment

This is,,, So sweet. Healing my soul.

deleted the post because honestly, doing callouts was never something i'd envision myself doing, even if i was (am) very upset about the situation.

i also don't want the whole thing to spiral out of control, and i really didnt wanna make a public post in the first place. i was just at the end of my rope and have been for past few months. this literally all started due to me getting attacked all day long yesterday for posting trans utdr art to my youtube community tab, so yeah you can guess what happened. lots of blatant transphobia to deal with, and AGAIN the usual: people arguing with me on kris' pronouns, say i'm "disrespectful" and "shoving headcanons down people's throats" and "alienating" people or whatever bullshit, to like 41% jokes. i was understandably stressed out. so when i was informed about the post they made, i simply lost it. the coincidences were just too damn strong to ignore.

i still saw no reason to attack determinators for my own bad day and was willing to hear them out and hoping to god it was all a stupid misunderstanding. if they're telling the truth about the "dess theory stealing" not being about me, i understand the fact they didnt take any screenshots because of course why would they have. and i completely understand and relate to their paranoia regarding the 4chan incident, i really do. what happened to them was absolutely disgusting and inexcusable.

i am however done with this situation because i have way too much going on in my life right now (i will discuss these things more calmly probably through art or a video because.. i kinda want/need to and have been bottling it up for a while) and i honestly don't care anymore about whether or not the post was referring to me. it doesn't matter anymore, this isn't great for my mental health and making a callout post only complicates things as i'm not really on board with this stuff myself. so i deleted it which i think was the right thing to do, and want to leave this behind. that's all i have to say on this tbh

#txt #i'd really appreciate if they weren't attacked for this #like seriously. i dont advocate for that shit #making that post was a mistake and i'm fixing it now #i dont want to hear of them anymore however #not because i like hate them or anything #i'm just done with the situation it stressed me out #so please don't bring them up again #especially on my social media #thank you

I know that the propaganda posts up until now have been mostly silly and light-hearted, and for good reason. This is a fun and silly event! But here's a more serious reason I was Youngblood to win.

Youngblood (or at least the headcanon) is a black transwoman. How many black, transfem characters - or headcanons - can you think of? They're one of the most underrepresented communities, we all know this.

As a (mixed-race) black genderqueer sorta-woman, the transfem Youngblood headcanon means the world to me. I really can't stress that enough.

The other day a friend was telling me about how when he thinks of himself in the future, he doesn't see a happy thriving black transman. He sees a white guy. How fucked is that? How messed up is it that he can't even picture a future where all these parts of his identity coexist?

It's because - whether it be real people, canon characters, or headcanons - it's always the white trans people who are the most visible and get the most attention. That fact is just kinda miserable to live with honestly.

Youngblood is a black transwoman headcanon, which I came across not because I went searching for some representation out of pure desperation, but because I was already in the fandom! I already enjoyed the story! I came across this headcanon entirely naturally, the same way you would come across any other trans headcanon. You have no idea how happy that makes me.

It's worth voting for Youngblood, not just because she has awesome powers and is silly and grumpy and is all-round a wonderful character, but also to bring a little more attention to characters like her when so few ever get to see the spotlight.

And to be clear, I'm not saying fans can't vote for Lake, I'm definitely not saying that anyone who votes for Lake is doing it because they're bigoted. That's not what I mean at all.

What i mean is this: if you're currently on the fence about who to vote for - if you're not super invested in either show, or if you're really invested in both - consider voting for Youngblood. She means a lot to me, and I know I'm not the only one.

Anon from before, sorry about flooding your inbox there. Had a rough start to the day and read more into your post than was probably intended and took it weirdly way more personally than I should have. After chilling out some, I'm really embarassed about how I responded there. I hope this wasn't too negative for you, and I hope you have a good rest of the day and can find more trans werewolves out there

Hey Fam, you're good and I think this is an important lesson that everyone can learn from tbh.

I saw your messages coming in RAPID FIRE which generally means a really frantic train of thought and (possibly) not the best space to think or articulate one's point in. Happens to the best of us, so relax! There's no bad blood here!

A lot of the time someone can read a post online, or an ask, or see something and have an immediate reaction to it without, ya know, actually understanding what was being said or spoken about.

It's very reactionary and the internet has been very much TRAINED to be immediately reactionary because of "internet bonus points" for jumping onto a bandwagon without like... thinking much about what they are saying or even reacting to.

I've done that too and it's, honestly, super unhealthy and really not a smart way to exist as a person.

More often than not these days what I do, even with positive messages or asks I get, I read them and then set my phone down for a bit and just kinda think about it before I respond. Thinking about making sure to take things in a positive light or trying to find the purpose behind what the person is saying even IF the message itself isn't "as kind as it could be" - then finding my own words and responding as best I can.

The overall posts throughout the day started with me saying replying to a post being like: "Okay, if this poll has SO MANY PEOPLE wanting Werewolf stuff... WHERE IS IT?!"

Which then spun into people sending me messages about Werewolf Porn - again, 100% behind that, go for it, more Werewolf appreciation is great in any way - and I did my best to keep it silly.

The narrative shifted quickly into it ONLY being about porn despite me saying "well even taking the porn OUT of it... there's just not a lot of Werewolf ANYTHING" - but it was quickly ignored which was admittedly frustrating.

Then there became excuses for "well there ISNT any because of THIS AND THIS" and it all was very personal reasons behind things and not actually like... hitting a true and deep or meaningful reason as to why someone would be afraid to or against posting things like that.

Which is where my heavy post about "listen, if you're afraid that the Normies won't accept you for you being a little weird... well guess what, those Normies already DON'T accept you and likely WON'T accept you even IF you give them what they want."

So somehow we got to THIS POINT from me saying:

"Hey yo! Where's the love for Werewolves if so many people voted that they loved Werewolves in this poll!?"

Either way, you're good. Don't stress it as much. <3

[averykedavra]

Alright from the top (I accidently sent before I was ready earlier, apparently)

I was worried about you, ya dipshit (affectionate).

I was afraid you were getting in over your head. Your long reply did help soothe my concerns by showing that you do have a commitment to this. I was afraid you were painting a target on your back, especially as a singlet.

My headmates we're less concerned, but I just. Had to ask.

What you're doing? Is great, and there's this hope that what you've done here will spread and make the fandom a more comfortable space, and my headmates? Love that.

But I'm worried about you. Because bringing this conversation to your door isn't without risk to you. And you're brave for doing it.

I never meant to imply this conversation shouldn't be had, in fact my headmates are kinda really happy about it?

But when I asked what the fuck posessed you, I was asking why the fuck would you take this upon yourself.

And your answer was. Good.

I'm still worried because system discourse has a way of biting friendly hands, (like I unintentionally did apparently, oops) and you're a good person. I just didn't want you getting bit over something you got into unknowingly.

But your reply shows you do know.

So yeah. I was. Concerned.

And I wish you luck.

-Missy, the anon who asked what the fuck posessed you

And that's that -Missy

Thank you -Missy

Hi! Thank you so so much for sending this! It took me a bit to figure out some words, but here I am, armed with probably the sappiest words imaginable.

I’ll admit I was a bit stressed after your first anon ask, since it seems there was an accidental tone mishap djhsgfshsj it can happen, and I get it! My apologies for the long rambling answer, since I did automatically assume the worst, just because I’ve heard similar things before about other issues. ‘Why stir up trouble’ and all that, you know the drill.

But--thank you. In context, this was very sweet of you. I appreciate you looking out for me, for sending me this explanation, for being brave enough to do so, and I appreciate your headmates for giving you the go-ahead! (Say hi to them for me, by the way <3) This was a lovely thing to read this evening, and it’s honestly so sweet that you cared enough to send this.

And...yeah. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from. There are topics that often lead to getting negative attention, and DID can definitely be one of them. I’ve seen second-hand nastiness surrounding this, and other, topics. I’ve been lucky enough to never face any of it myself (probably partly because I am in a position of privilege, and therefore less likely to be harassed) but it does still put me in a bit of a risky situation, I guess.

I’d love to say that I didn’t even consider any backlash, but that’s a bit of a lie. I always consider backlash, it’s one of the perks of overthinking things djhgfssghj and yes, it did feel a bit nerve-wracking to post. Still, my main fear was, and remains, that I would accidentally or ignorantly hurt someone. I’ve always tried to focus on helping and supporting people. Backlash feels less terrifying when it’s measured against helping people!

Systems get put through too much shit in this fandom. In general, actually. The stigma around dissociative disorders is absolutely terrible, and really hurts systems, so it’s important for people to talk about it! That’s what I always try to focus on, in any situation. I’ve found that you get a lot farther in life when you’re focused on making the fandom a better place, instead of making yourself feel safer <3

But it is a double-edged sword. I get that. I really appreciate your concern. I’m in a better position than many people, which means I do get less heat for, say, posts about racism than actual POC do. You know how it is. And yet people probably will get upset about it. Maybe I will get a target on my back, like you said (although I have a good amount of faith in my followers right now, so I’m hopeful dhsgfshjs). Either way, like you said, I do know what I’m getting into.

I do try to be a good person. I’m still working on that. Thank you for the compliment, though, and thank you for the support. Kinda ironically, you’re the reason I’m actually doing this. There are such wonderful people in this fandom, and so many of them--systems, POC, black people, trans people--get put through shit that they don’t deserve. I love this fandom. I want other people to have a chance to love it, too.

And...yeah, not to get all sappy on you, but systems as an issue are pretty close to my heart. I’ve got acquaintances and discord friends who are systems. I’ve got mutuals. And one of my best friends is the host of a system, and I care about them a ton. I would never want to contribute to a space where they feel unwelcome, unsafe, or unheard. I would never want to do that to you, Missy, or your headmates. None of you ever deserve that.

Like I said, I love this fandom. And I’ve seen people harassed, attacked, and forced to leave it. That’s not fair. That’s not something I want to be a part of. If I get to stay in this fandom and love it, so does everyone else.

I’m not saying all this to make myself out as a hero, or a victim, I’m just incapable of saying anything in like ten words. And also I’m really sappy right now. And I’m happy that I could help you in any way, shape, or form. You seem very lovely and very kind. People like you are, really, the reason I love this fandom in the first place.

So thank you. Thank you, this message meant a lot. It’s great to hear, and kind of awe-inspiring, that I could actually make somewhat of an impact with this? Your compliments are very sweet, and thank you. But honestly, I don’t think I’d call myself brave. Just a bit of a sap, doing what should probably be the norm.

And your concern is appreciated, too. But I think I can handle this, if I’ve got people like you in my corner.

I wish you and your headmates the best of luck as well, thank you <3
