#could be another trans metaphor idk

[nikoisme]

Okay so a little thing I noticed is how this random citizen flinches and calls Nimona "freak" when he sees her. This is actually a lot of people's reactions when they see someone using this style (punk rock ig, vibrant colors). And in my experience a lot of queer, especially trans people enjoy this style. You can see that Nimona's design is much different than those of the citizens', even when she is in her "human" form trying to blend in. Everyone is dressed pretty casually, like you could walk down the streets and see someone wearing their clothes. But Nimona stands out. And a lot of people are judgmental purely if someone stands out and doesn't follow their traditional beliefs, norms and roles.

#nimona #nimona 2023 #nimona movie #i could be reading too much into it #i don't know how to phrase this but i hope i got the point across #this just follows the example of how the kingdom advanced technologically #but people's mindsets didn't #so anything that stands out or is different is a threat to their way of life #i've witnessed this in real life #could be another trans metaphor idk #or just a metaphor for people who just don't follow tradition in general #and i don't think they know that Nimona is a shape-shifter just yet

something about the inherent transness of body horror

#horror #lgbtqia #transgender #just thinkin #idk man just thinkin #how cis people see body horror in films #and are terrified and creeped out #when it’s a metaphor for being trans #and being trapped in another’s body could be monster or human #something else controlling you #and it’s a perfect description of transness #idk man

puts on my clown hat

behold, as requested: The Trans Franky Essay. Like most of this is still jot notes and I wrote this when half-asleep so like. I don’t know

Please don’t shoot me.

Section 0: Most importantly...

Due to the Somerton stuff, I really am trying my best not to plagarize.

Unlike TikTok user @theyboss._.franky, I’m not planning to talk about if he’s trans based on physical features, personality, etc.

I’m here to talk about the narrative in particular, and allegory.

also kudos to @punkitt-is-here

[ID: A screenshot of an X post by @punkittdev that reads “this is also partially why i am a franky one piece trans man truther” It features Franky, a cyborg with a shirt that reads “I HRT”.with a sun between the words “I” and “HRT” Franky is a tall man with tan skin and blue hair, and has part of his arms replaced with blue metal with a star at the end. end ID]

Section 1: Cyborgs are inherently trans

I’m literally just going to link The transgender cyborg: an inexhaustive primer because the article does a much better job than I can, but to summarize:

Trans people are not only cyborg-adjacent because of the transphobes who call us that, but primarily because we are used in the same way cyborgs are in text: As a talking point, a disruptive metaphor about humanity as a whole.

That brings us onto the next place...

Section 2: Cyborgs are extra trans in this case.

The reason why I latched onto this in the first place is this character’s backstory.

Franky, who eventually becomes the Straw Hat’s shipwright, starts as a joke character in the Water Seven Arc.

He’s a 40-ish year old man who runs around in a speedo and shoots lasers at people, making a living off of dismantling ships.

However, as more information is revealed, the story starts to humanize and give him a backstory.

quotes from Chapter 358:

“My body got wrecked and parts of it weren’t working anymore... So I transformed myself using scrap metal. It’s how I survived!” 

“Waste wood, scrap iron... I fit right in. First I’ve got to... ... Do something about this useless body of mine!” 

What do these have in common? Retrofitting the self, and rebuilding the body. I think there’s something trans there but IDK

Deadnames (partially joking here): As said by another character “Cutty Flam of Tom’s Workers is dead. As long as you don’t use that name... ... There’s nothing connecting us”  (for context, Franky was changing his name to evade government capture, but shhh let’s just pretend we’re talking about deadnames)

Actual Section 2: The Boats are trans now

speaking of the self as a construct...

I think it would be giving Oda too much credit for doing this on purpose.

But, he also accidentally created one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard for gender identity and against gender essentialism:

And of course, it has to be boats.

chapter 353: “Franky, there’s no such thing as blueprints for a pirate ship!! If the sailors who board that ship run up a skull-and-crossbones, then it’s a pirate ship. If they fly a seagull flag, it’s a navy ship. Build whatever you want to build, Franky.”

Like again: It’s the idea that there’s no instructions for a person, it’s what you decide to create out of oneself?

Alright. So, in terms of most manga, he actually does a rather good job. One Piece is primarily a series about misfits and outcasts: The series is goofy and over-the-top as a rule. So, one could argue the extreme way in which he portrays trans people up until the Wano arc is just a part of the series.

yeah idk

1: Magic is a Metaphor < 2: Morgana is a Lesbian < 3: Merlin is Gay < 4: Arthur is Bi

Do you remember when you were bullied in middle school? Because if you're reading this, I think it's fair to assume that you were. And your parents would say to you, 'that boy is just being mean to you because he likes you'. That's what this is.

Arthur is just so repressed. He has really bad daddy issues, and he doesn't know how to express his emotions, and he's really uncomfortable with physical intimacy, especially with other men, especially with Merlin. And this isn't me trying to psychoanalyse away his heterosexuality. It is a very evident part of his character.

And another big part of his character is that he has inherited all of these bigoted ideas about magic from his father that he has to work to overcome. Because, of course, Arthur himself is born of magic, but his dad is so ashamed of it that he hides the true circumstances of his birth from Arthur. Honestly, I don't know exactly how that would fit into this whole metaphor. I do have a half-formed theory that it could be interpreted as an allegory for intersex identity, I know that a lot of people headcanon Arthur as trans, so idk there could be something there. But regardless, it is only through his relationship with Merlin that he is able to overcome this magicphobia, because he realises: how could it be wrong when everything about Merlin is so right. And I just feel like there's a metaphor in there somewhere.

Of course, I have to mention this iconic quote from the audio commentary of the final episode: when the executive producer refers to Arthur taking off his royal seal to give back to Guinevere as passing over "the last vestige of his heterosexu- oh sorry, I mean his marriage." So, they knew exactly what they were doing.

I also thought I would just draw your attention to the fact that at one point Arthur says, "I only care about my men, they're more than friends, more than brothers." Now, I think we can all agree that out of context, that is a very gay thing to say, and yet somehow the context is even gayer, because Arthur is pretending to be talking about the Knights of the Round Table, but he's actually talking about Merlin, how Merlin is the only person he cares about, more than a friend. And then Merlin responds, "I understand. I wish I didn't, but I do." It's barely subtext at that point. This of course, brings me to my final argument:

Arthur risked his life to save Merlin at least eight times. It could be more than that, I genuinely lost count. And you have to keep in mind that Arthur is the King of Camelot and he doesn't have any heirs. It is quite important that he stays alive. And yet anytime that Merlin is in the slightest bit of danger, he will just drop everything to protect him.

And it's really only in those moments where he's faced with the thought of losing Merlin that he shows him genuine emotion. Such as in this scene (which was cut out of 4x02 purely because it was too gay) where Arthur is planning to sacrifice himself to protect Merlin, again, and he gives Merlin his mother's sigil, the only thing he has left of his dead mum and he wants Merlin to have it as something to remember him by. Also, apparently in medieval times giving someone your family crest was basically a marriage proposal, so that's pretty gay.

You know what else is pretty gay? Telepathically communicating with Merlin and then immediately leaving Gwen in the middle of an active war. This is literally the last time that Arthur and Gwen ever see each other. Poor Gwen.

In conclusion, Merlin is the story of gay sorcerers and bisexual knights getting into love triangles. Everyone in this show is queer and you cannot tell me otherwise.

#because I realise this is the first post you'll see on the dash: this is all taken directly from a tiktok I made over a year ago #my thoughts on this point especially have developed a bit since then. and this is written for a more entry-level tiktok audience #so it's very lukewarm takes to my fellow soldiers in the trenches #but I'm not expecting this to get much notice and idc/idk how to articulate my thoughts better so just take it for what it is #arthur pendragon #merthur #bbc merlin #merlin #merlin meta #the magic of metaphor

reading Brainwyrms by Alison Rumfitt. it's interesting. clearly part of the post-Topside wave of trans lit, with the same 'plugged in to twitter' energy, but way more British about it. which means most of the allusions are very transparent to me. it's a combo of... hardcore kink driven romance as the main arc, in a near-future setting in which TERFism goes further to the point of outright bombings, and a scifi element with alien brain parasites that it's gradually building towards.

compellingly written, I'll give it that for sure - I lay down to read for a bit and before I knew it I'd read like a third of the book. the main character's disaffected, traumatised air is well observed, and the kink doesn't hold back.

I think my reservation with it so far is that it feels a little too much like a polemic blog post about the way things are going. the MC Frankie is a trans woman with a pregnancy kink who survived a bombing at a GIC and now works in social media moderation - it's all stuff that is blatantly Relevant To The Argument, as it were. it's tricky to criticise it for that because it's like, what you're saying is that it's tightly constructed and thematically consistent and that's bad somehow? but I think I've come to feel that I like fiction to bring me something a little new and unfamiliar.

the chapter I most enjoyed so far was actually a more metaphorical, abstract interlude, in which resistance to fascism is cast as becoming 'one mass of queer flesh, which now grabbed and clawed...'; 'faces locked in kisses until they became one face. the cops would try to pull at this mass, but to no avail'. very 'faggots and their friends between revolutions' stuff.

the chapters which are presented directly as social media posts and articles are also sharply observed. i think a lot of fiction in which the internet features heavily suffers from not understanding the internet very well (Hosoda's Belle for example), but for example the chapter 'Curious Cat' where an anonymous person (blatantly Vanya) is sending messages asking for help with a parasite, and getting rebuffed or misunderstood, and the chapter where Frankie relates a murder of an instagram model by a stalker who posts about it to a reddit community devoted to her, read as very real.

a lot of the story is about responding to a terrifying political situation in sexual terms - a flashback chapter depicting Frankie having sex with some terf's pretentious brother ("with each thrust from him, she thought to herself, I am a traitor, I am a traitor to the cause"), or the preface which jokes about how in another world the author would be writing 'cool horror stories about vampires raping werewolves, ones with no subtext at all'. I prevaricate a little on whether this is a compelling examination of a theme that I do find interesting (the mysterious origins of sexual desire) or just edgy for its own sake.

this is an odd novel for me in some ways because while on one level, this is about people who I could very easily be a single degree of separation from were they real, it's also about a facet of life that is still quite alien to me and in many ways I only know about second hand. I've never been to a kink club (that wasn't in an MMO anyway lol), I'm way too much of a nerdy autist shut-in to know what it's like to be someone who would feel put out if she hadn't had sex in a week. so even before the parasite stuff, it's hard to know how much of Frankie and Vanya's stuff is real, and how much is fantasy. is this really how things go between people? it sounds kinda fun, but unlocking the door this far has already taken years.

when I've read books about the crazy lives that American trans girls supposedly live and interesting sex they're apparently having, they've been at a certain remove, the other side of the Atlantic. and this book feels sort of similar, even though I know it's set right on my doorstep. idk, I've never been good at this.

anyway I don't think I want to write fantasy novels so directly about The Discourse of the day, but it's probably good that someone is. that said, it's hard to parse like... ok, it's titled brainwyrms, and 'brain worms' is a common way of describing an obsessive, cultish idea you receive from the internet.

and like if you look at the newspapers, or twitter trans discourse, you certainly could believe that this country is on a rapid slide to putting us in camps. however, my day to day life has been... it's not without hostility, but the average street harasser isn't doing it because of a Guardian or even Mail article. this country has a subculture of deranged weirdos who hate our guts, and a political class who will happily stoke culture war shit to score points, but most normies I've met don't care one way or another that I'm trans - they might mention a family member or friend they know who's also trans. the day to day conflicts are over way more prosaic shit, the landlord vs tenant forever war, or how the kitchen should be cleaned. which of these windows is more informative of the 'overall' state of affairs? not that a more violent terf cult is a bad premise to write a novel around, but a sense of impending doom is a pretty powerful mechanism to keep you scrolling, right?

like in 20, 40 years - will the terfs really be bombing the Tavistock and banning transness, as Rumfitt imagines in her near-future setting preface? or will they go the way of those newspapers in Thatcher's time who smeared the gay movement, just as they smear us today? of passing political obsessions like 'new atheism'? I don't know the half-life of cult shit.

anyway, time to read the rest of the novel, and see how it handles this brew that it's concocted.

Some across the Spiderverse thoughts that i left in some tags and texts but wanted to make into a post - spoilers ofc!

---

I'm a huge fan of how heavily they leaned into superheroes as a metaphor for queerness.

I think superheroes are inherently a metaphor for queerness, even when that's not the intent, bc (to quote Ted Lasso) it's living 2 separate lives and wishing they could just melt into one.

But with movies like across the Spiderverse (and also dc's battle of the supersons but ill get to that later) they really underline the queer metaphor.

Gwen has a trans flag with the words "protect trans kids" in her room and as @/jellyfishbees pointed out in their post: also, it's interesting to read "coming out as a superhero" as a queer allegory and it works in this situation as it parallels queer kids being kicked out of their homophobic homes and staying with friends in the aftermath.

Referred to Gwen crashing at Hobie's universe (rather than place bc he's homeless) after her cop dad threatens to shoot her and arrest her even after her "coming out" as Spiderwoman.

It also felt very personal to me bc like Miles i also have a caribbean mom (not specifically puerto rican but the spanish accents/dialects in the caribbean area do have a lot in common with each other imo*) and the startup of his "coming out" (as Spiderman) + Rio's reaction felt like a mirrored version of my own coming out to my mom.

(Tho mine had a different ending rip lol).

It was also interesting to me how this homophobic tween in the audience reached my same conclusion from a different standpoint (me from a queer one, him from a homophobic one) which ik bc he said "I thought he was a f--" using the italian version of the f slur. It must mean Something if they played it in a way that even homophobes think of it as a "coming out" scene.

As I mentioned before, there's another animated superhero movie that did this.

Battle of the supersons is a movie about Jon Kent (Superman's son and one of the Superboys) and Damian Wayne (5th Robin, one of Batman's kids) becoming friends and fighting an alien invasion together.

But the story starts with Jon unaware that his dad's Superman so he freaks out when his powers awaken and we get a sort of "coming out" scene when he opens up to his dad about them.

In the comics Jon's canonly bisexual and had his own Pride Month special issue last year and the cast of the movie cracked some jokes about it at NYCC (Jon's VA had to record his scenes in a closet, etc).

And idk, i just think superheroes as a queer metaphor is all really neat :)

*unrelated but that's exactly why the "I heard Spiderman's puerto rican" *Miles freezes* "nah, I think he's dominican actually" was really funny to me. Personally im cuban but have been mistaken for puerto rican and ik puerto ricans that have been mistaken for cubans, it's really interesting from a linguistic perspective!

Yes yes I'm sending more playlist related questions because these are fun. So The Rain The Park And The Other Things on the Fugio playlist caught my eye..ear? And it reminded me of the song Send me no flowers by Doris Day and I like that a lot.

Everybody says that Strawberry Blonde is very them coded but nobody explains why. I'm curious about your interpretation :D

Also does the Naramis playlist tackle the sad side of their relationship? How, you know, Narancia isn't there anymore. I appreciate that a lot about this ship- losing someone you love but still needing to move on. I think that's very realistic and I hope Mista finds peace again.

HI I'M SO SORRY I MISSED THIS sorry for the wait!!

Just listened to Send Me No Flowers and it's really lovely, I think I could also see it being Fugio-y in a way? Specifically postcanon pre-PHF from Giorno's POV. Something something he has all the tangible things he wants but not Fugo. But maybe that's just because my brain loves to make songs about wanting someone back + flowers about Fugio lol.

I won't lie, Strawberry Blond is a holdover from when I started making this playlist four years ago, when Strawberry Blond was considered the Fugio song and was on everyone's playlists lol. But listening to it now, I actually think it aligns with my Fugio vision more than I initially thought.

I think a lot of people take it as a Fugo -> Giorno song, but I much prefer imagining it the other way around. Again, imagery of someone leaving and the other aching over it, and the line "I love everybody because I love you" makes me think of Giorno basically getting his whole worldview tossed up because of Fugo, who's so completely different from him in every way. But also, I really really like to imagine that Giorno's feelings are unrequited at first. I think I've explained the Fugonara -> Fugio pipeline before, but Fugio during canon to me is more like. Giorno is very infatuated with Fugo, and Fugo doesn't notice because he's still hung up over his own one-sided feelings for Narancia. So the second verse kinda fits that, too, I think. The thing with "all I ever wanted was a life in your shape" also could have a lot of different connotations with them, too - Fugo had, and still has, a lot of privilege Giorno doesn't (Fugo grew up rich, never had to face xenophobia/racism, had a strong and well-funded education that is clearly shown to still give him a huge advantage even after he's disowned), and on the headcanon side of things, I do usually hc Giorno as trans and Fugo as cis, so there's that, too. But it could also be how Giorno has always repressed emotions/feelings, and Fugo isn't really able to, but also derives power from those emotions (even if they're harmful) - maybe a tiny bit of subconscious envy that Fugo's able to feel, to cry, so on and so forth? Idk. Something like that.

As for the Naramis playlist, I actually don't have a ton of angsty stuff on there, because I did originally envision it as a happier vibes sort of playlist (even I need a break from Naramis angst sometimes hehe). But I did start including a few sadder ones as of late!!

This song is super postcanon Mista to me and that's why I used it as the title for the second part of my fic :] "Once my heart was filled with the love of a girl/I held her close, but she faded in the night/Like a poem I meant to write" specifically.

Another postcanon one. The airplane metaphors really sell it for me. I think Mista sometimes plays this one on his guitar and thinks of Narancia :)))

And slightly different, but I actually think of this one from Narancia's POV!! He's been let down and betrayed a lot in his life, he can't envision a better life for himself than being a criminal, and his best friend ends up leaving him out of cowardice, so he hopes that he can at least have one person he can trust and rely on - ie Mista.

Thank you again for the ask, I love talking about my tunes (and Fugio and Naramis) ^_^

#and sorry again for the wait!! #jjba #fugio #naramis

* Don’t let him seduce u Sophie be strong!!!

* I do love the wild fantasy elements of all of these movies, and this one feels like it’s gonna do some worldbuilding. Into it.

* What is with these movies and creepy old ladies?

* NO THATS SOPHIE WTF

* I do think maybe I have a weird phobia of old people? Wild way to find out

* Jesus Christ I just know that scarecrow is alive

* Oh maybe not

* JESUS

* Aw he’s so sweet

* This studio loves to animate flying things and old ladies. But hey, this is the first one I’ve seen that doesn’t start with someone moving somewhere new, so we’ve got that going for us

* Lmao the scarecrow did bring her a house

* This castle freaks me tf out and I haven’t even seen inside. Real Baba Yaga energy

* Bye Turnip, what a cutie

* Okay so the fire is a cute lil guy

* Magic door? Into it. So where is she really and why is it so Cottagecore

* “Calcifer said I could come in” “I did not!”

* That bacon looks so good and I don’t even eat bacon

* how does the Lauren Bacall witch fit in that little carriage thing if she’s so huge, I swear this is one of the funniest movies I’ve seen in a long timd

* ok but I still don’t really get why Sophie had the spell cast on her in the first place, she wasn’t bothering nobody before

* I’ve gotten some antisemitic vibes from characters in other ghibli movies so far and I’m not a huge fan of the fatphobia with the villain, I just gotta say

* Lmao the dog isn’t even howl?

* wait why tf does the castle have a mouth

* why is the bad witch tagging along dump her ass

* So Sophie is young when she sleeps? I don’t get that

* Ok…. So she’s just…. Young again?

* I love how gung-ho Howl is about his family and his house. Love that in a man.

* Found family themes just Get Me, u know?

* On one hand I don’t Get What’s Happening with the war, but also… I Get this movie

* Also still don’t get the aging and de-aging and I’m not sure if it’s only supposed to be metaphorical or what

* So… why did he eat her hair??

* I gotta say that I love that the only sound the ugly dog makes is us a dry cough

* Maybe the dog is called heen bc he has chicken feet and heen is like hen

* DONT EAT THAT GLOWING ORB HOWL

* yeah I have no idea what the fuck is going on right now

* Wtf howl is just… right there?

* Why was his heart even gone in the first place? Seems like he had it the whole time anyway. Did he know calcifer had it? Like I really don’t get any of that

* TURNIP IS THE PRINCE I CALLED IT

* Lol why is Sophie his true love

* And now they’re just gonna end the war???

Okay that was definitely more fun than any of the other ones I’ve seen so far. CONFUSING AS FUCK like I don’t get it at all but it was really fun. Really funny, with GREAT characters, and I was loved Billy Crystal Fire Guy, so glad I happened to watch the dub.

Also I can’t explain it, but this one is just For The Gays

I’ll watch Princess Mononoke next

[bugshine-and-raincloud]

I was going to make a post about this on Instagram, but I realized I literally started using Tumblr so I can infodump without a character limit but I don't think I have... So, I should post it here!... So I can be detailed without running out of space and having to delete paragraphs and paraphrase (I have to do that so much on Instagram 😞)...

Okay, so, one of my big headcanons from FNAF Security Breach is that Roxy is Transfem... That she's actually Trans Foxy... I actually stole this headcanon from Bug lol...

I was thinking about it a bit ago, and realized it genuinely makes sense?... Like, we headcanon that she's Trans Foxy since Foxy is pretty much completely absent from the game (as far as we're aware)... There's no direct mention of him, just a few art pieces depicting him + his area next to Monty's Golf that seems maybe abandoned?... I haven't played the game in a bit, but I'm pretty sure it's fairly empty?... Or, at least, it felt pretty empty to me... And why would they (as in, Fazbear Entertainment) just get rid of a beloved character?... Maybe Foxy is just out of order and is in some inaccessible room, that's definitely the actual likely reason...

But who says headcanons have to be likely?!... Our headcanon is that Foxy is Trans and couldn't deal with the dysphoria anymore, so she told an employee or manager or whoever... She honestly probably just expected them to scrap her endoskeleton and replace her... Why would they bother actually allowing her to transition, that would cost a lot of money to feminize her casing... But the company is greedy and realized that pirates and foxes aren't as popular with kids anymore (are they actually?... Idk)... So they took the opportunity to create a (female, for Foxy) wolf character (are wolves more popular than foxes fr?... Idk, they're Bug's favourite animal though so they do feel more popular lol...), who's into racing (also unsure if racing is more popular than pirates, probably not?... But in this headcanon scenario they are... The world of Security Breach is different from ours, bears are literally extinct, I can headcanon whatever I want about it lol)... She now gets to go by Roxanne, be gender as fuck, and gets to be way cooler!... Though, she still struggles with self esteem issues and also has NPD (That one is a headcanon I came up with without Bug, I'm projecting so hard onto this wolf fr)...

Got a little carried away with my explanation, but that's what this Tumblr is for!... Anyway, that's not why I realized it makes sense... Well, that's our general justification for it, but earlier I realized something else... None of the Foxy's seem Cis... Honestly, that could be another reason why Fazbear Entertainment caved and just let her be Trans... No matter how hard they've tried in the past, no matter the design change or changing endoskeletons, the Foxys can't be Cis...

Mangle is the obvious example, Scott has been switching between he and she pronouns with her throughout most of the games and literally said his gender is "yes"... But she's not the only one... Funtime Foxy is one we've also headcanoned as Bigender for a while... Not just because he's feminine, but because she's referred to with she/her pronouns by handunit... Also, in UCN he's exclusively referred to with he/him pronouns, BUT she's also in the Ladies Night 3 challenge... Also Lolbit is kind of obvious too since they're literally just a virus and also they're the Nonbinary flag colors (basically)...

Those 3 are the obvious ones, the others are more.. purely headcanon lol... Nightmare Foxy is literally in the closet... Yes, that's my entire reasoning for him being not Cis... FNAF 1 Foxy is mostly hidden too, in his own sort of closet (ik it's a stage, I mean in a metaphorical way)... Also I'm not acknowledging the fact that he's possessed (or any of the other Foxy's) because I do not care and am only referring to the animatronics themselves... I believe (according to info on the fandom wiki...) FNAF 1 Foxy is out of order because his endoskeleton is glitchy and twitchy... Maybe because he's experiencing dysphoria 🤔 (ik this is a reach, all of this is a reach, LET ME HAVE FUN /lh)... Uh, is Withered Foxy a different Foxy?... I really need to learn the lore of these games lmao... Uh, he's Trans because they're all Trans... Idk if I'm forgetting any Foxys... All of the Foxys are either Nonbinary or Transfem (or both)...

Im kind of losing steam for this post, the tiredness is kicking in lol... Uh, yeah, the point is that it makes sense that they let Roxy just be Trans, since they realized Foxy is always Trans and they can't stop it... So they just fully embraced her finally...

Don't comment on this with any lore debunking anything, I genuinely couldn't care less, let us have our Trans headcanons for a bunch of nonexistent animatronics in a game series lol... Also, if Foxy does end up being in the DLC, it will debunk very little to us... We've already decided that if that happens, we'll just headcanon they gave that Trans endoskeleton her own casing (Roxy) and then just shoved a new endoskeleton in Foxy so they didn't have to actually lose the character... And that Foxy will also be Trans to us... There is no escaping the Foxy Trans headcanons lmao...

If anyone has read all of this, why? /lh... I mean, thanks?... Idk, lol... I appreciate being able to make a really long, silly post like this about a headcanon I love, that maybe someone will read (I doubt it though /lh)... If you agree with us, cool!... If you'd like, our dms are open for discussion about other Queer headcanons (even if we don't know the media, you can infodump to us and we'll enjoy learning about your blorbos and why you believe they're queer)...

[thepunkmuppet]

to any lgbt people who actually like this ship, while I can’t for the life of me understand why, I don’t want to ruin anything for you. but it has to be said.

the romantic pairing of sylvie and loki is inherently queerphobic.

and no, not because a queer man is in a relationship with a queer woman, bisexual people are attracted to the opposite gender and that’s obviously completely fine and normal - that’s not what I mean.

what I specifically mean is, unfortunately, transphobia. because the idea that the sylvie and loki “selfcest” is 100% pushing, whether it’s intentional or not, is autogynephilia.

this was an idea used to sexualise, demonise and pervert the experiences and identities of trans women, as it is literally defined as “a male's propensity to be sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a female”. this idea actively presents trans women’s identities as invalid, inherently sexual, potentially mysoginistic, and generally perverse and disgusting.

romantically pairing up two different versions of a (in other iterations) canonically genderfluid / non-binary character, one completely male presenting, one completely female presenting, is not “self love”. if the two characters were friends, who cared for each other deeply and loved each other for who they were, THAT would be a beautiful self love metaphor. having them be romantically involved, sharing an on-screen kiss… that’s an example of autogynephilia. they are saying, “loki is in love with the female version of himself”.

and it doesn’t clearly represent the character as trans or genderfluid to non-queer audiences at all - I’ve spoken to straight/cis friends about their thoughts, and they just saw it as “boy loki is in love with girl loki”

and, sadly, I would bet my entire life savings that they would never have even considered this romance plot line if it was with another male-presenting loki variant. I mean hey, look at the way the three spider man variants were presented in no way home. they were all male, all played by different actors, and THEY WERE LITERALLY DESCRIBED AS BROTHERS. MULTIPLE TIMES.

it just makes me incredibly sad that marvel and its writers would rather a) push the gender binary on a non-binary character, and b) create a romance based around blatant transphobia and borderline (like ON the borderline. like not even just close to it like it is THERE) incest, than include a gay relationship with mobius, or have all iterations of loki be canonically genderfluid. so disappointing.

this is just my take and… honestly idk how anyone could really dispute it, but I’m open to other interpretations!! I hate this pairing with a fiery vengeance but if you like it and you’re willing to be respectful and bring up actual points, I would love to hear your thoughts!!

in conclusion, fuck the loki show and goodnight xoxo

It sort of shows how controlling lily is that she can't just say 'I personally prefer vampires and werewolves as metaphors for predators of some kind' but instead has to name call anyone who changes lore around and likes it some other way.

And does so in a way that throws lgbt+ people under the bus, aka 'gay people who like or sympathize with monsters are harming the community!' And 'people who want to fuck Dracula in my fanfic would be put on suicide watch'.

It also shows how little she actually cares about the history of the lgbt+ community so as not to know why so many enjoy those monsters. Idk if I've ever seen someone who says they support lgbt+ people, but I can easily imagine getting into a physical fight with another trans person in RL because they like vampires and use the word queer.

Like the lady sure loves to gatekeep, gaslight, girl boss her way around the lgbt+ community.

the first ever story about lady vampires was a lesbian story and there are scholars who think that Dracula was actually an allegory for a closeted gay man struggling with his attraction to other men. vampires, more than any other monster, have always been queer and so it makes sense that other queer people would find them fun to play around with. i don't think that LO would actually fight anyone... not on a way where she can see they could potentially win. maybe if they were small and weaker like her younger sister and there was no witnesses, but not in normal circunstances.

[match-your-steps]

Explaining the reasoning behind every song in my pride month playlist because I'm pretty sure no one cares but you know what I can do what I want:

"Catanella" by Orange Caramel - idk there's no real reason I just like this song and think it fits the vibe of the playlist. if I search for a reason I guess their outfits in the music video kind of remind me of drag and you could probably make some elaborate metaphor about the music video as well if you wnated

"Horns to Toes" by Adam Byrant and Michael Ford - it's about appreciating yourself? loving all parts of you. kind of pride vibes.

"Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants - idk I can't explain it but it's pride vibes

"plastic smile" by Perfume - you might be able to to guess from the title. it's a song about acting like you have everything you want even though you actually want more. this describes a lot of the queer experience with marginalization.

"Never Been In Love" by Will Jay - aha! the first obviously openly queer song. it's about being aro and maybe also ace

"Everyone Says You're so Fragile" by Idlewild - I do not know, exactly. firstly, gotta have some chaos vibes here, so takes care of that. second, there's probably something here that made me choose this particular song for some deeper reason about palatable queerness

"Colored" by ASTRO - tbh I don't think this has really anything to do with pride (it's really just a normal pure love song situation that I wanted for the musical vibes) but we can stretch it and say something something colors rainbow🌈

"Love Too Much" by Keane - something about the queer agenda of experiencing love to the fullest we possibly can

"Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone - if you haven't, go watch the music video. then look me in the eyes and tell me that wasn't gay (I guess this is why gay or european tbh)

"Man or Muppet" by Jason Segel and Walter - trans people

"Heart to Break" by Kim Petras - are you telling me you don't know /lh. Kim Petras trans,, also the music video is very queer which I'm sure is on purpose

"Miracle Worker" by Perfume - I'm gonna be honest I have no idea what this song is about I just really like it

"El Capitan" by Idlewild - it's not about being queer, at least not that I know of, but I kind of feel like it encapsulates some of the queer experience. like, let me do this monumental thing so you'll take me seriously and you'll still treat it like a casual publicity stunt. like I'm only doing it to make a scene. makes sense?

"Voice - English Ver." by Tacitly - queers often have the problem of people in their lives, especially parents/parent figures, not being able to accept that they have discovered new parts of their identities. the lines "whatever you think of me, leave it alone/I don't want to live in the shade of her throne" and "when you look at me, who do you remember?" mmm that's the stuff

"Spread My Wings" by Stray Kids - this is actually a song that starts out with them trying to act older and more sophisticated and grow up faster and then at the end they decide to live their age and take advantage of their youth and abilities to be immature while they can. growing up too quickly isn't a queer-exclusive thing, but I hear about it a lot in queer circles I frequent, so I thought about it for this

"Things Can Only Get Better" by Howard Jones - read the title we are taking a positive stance here

"Telephone" by Lady Gaga and Beyoncé - I didn't want to put born this way in there just to be gay (although I do like that song) but now we have a Lady Gaga and also this song is a supporter of platonic love. something something Beyoncé when she says she won't leave her girls no faster

"Marionette" by KIRA - break free of the bonds of society. do what makes you happy, not what the world says will

"Left & Right" by SEVENTEEN - another song about youth. this time it's more about you can't run faster than your legs can carry you. you're doing okay. you're gonna be successful, so enjoy life. queer values in there.

"SLUMP - English Version" by Stray Kids - song about feeling like you're falling behind and everything feels hopeless. life is hard and there are so many things to keep up with. being queer definitely does not make your life am exception to this.

"Zombies on Your Lawn" by Laura Shigihara - neurodivergent people are both more likely to have special interests like PvZ and be queer (me moment, I'm describing me)

"El Mismo Sol" by Alvaro Soler - if you listen to the version with Shakira you'll be mislead into thinking this is a song about sexy, but actually it's about everyone living together in harmony "under the same sun" (well, technically "bajo el mismo sol," since it's in Spanish). sounds like queer ideology to me

"I Am Not Alone" by Sori and Folded Dragons - even if you break me down you can't destroy me. queer values. also the music video and choreography kinda gay tbh,,,,..... definitely looks sapphic to me

"Glorious" by David Archuleta - everyone is different and has a different role to play and when we come together we make something wonderful and beautiful. sort of same vibes as el mismo sol. also appeasing my personal christianity plus David Archuleta gay /srs

"Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield - do things that make you happy. don't let others dictate your happiness. your life is your own story to write. queer agenda once again.

"Singing in the Shower" by Christopher Kale Jones - freedom to have fun and be silly also I just really like this song

"Single 4 Life" by Camron Crowe - what can I say I'm aroace (this song is definitely more of a relationships are too much trouble vibe but that's irrelevant)

"No hay Semilla - Electronilboy Remix" by Quiero Club and Electronikboy - uhh I translated this once and I don't remember exactly what it's about but it's pretty edgy and I think it has like millennial anger vibes so I'll take it for the gays

"Can Be Better" by HIGHLIGHT - things suck but oh well they'll be better tomorrow. once again we are taking the positive outlook

"我怎能留下你" by Ezu - from the HIStory 3 - Trapped soundtrack. that is a show about gay men. also I don't remember what the song is about exactly but I think it was kinda gay too. that might've just been the influence of the gay men on me though

"The Way I Feel" by Keane - "there's something wrong about the way I feel" tell me you're othered by society without telling me you're othered by society

"Ghosting" by Mother Mother - feeling invisible is so. also don't the gays love Mother Mother isn't that a thing

"Hands" by Jewel - my power is my own power. take action into your own hands. I'm not broken. feels queer to me

"Funkytown" by Lipps Inc. - come on don't tell me you can't figure this one out. it's just like. vibes. gotta make a move to a town that's right for me. funkytown

"Hug a Pug" by Webkinz ft. Michelle Junkin and Leonidas Kouvaris - be kind hug a pug and while you're at it have a little dance party. also don't judge a book by its cover that's in there too

"Crystal Ball" by Keane - it seems hopeless but there is hope. "tell me life is beautiful." easy to relate to in a world that seems to hate us

"Mister Cellophane" by John C. Reilly - from the soundtrack of the musical Chicago. about feeling like no one sees you. this one is pretty relatable if you equate it to queerness, but this one especially goes out to the gncs, the genderfluids, and the aroaces. also other identities that people have a hard time even accepting exist so they don't even usually get to the point of purposeful discrimination cuz it just doesn't feel like a real thing to them

"UNBREAKABLE - Remix" by KIRA and Ruby - sticks and stones can break my bones and words can hurt me but you can't break me. I'll always get back up. we need a little of that.

"Blue Moo '62" by The Sparklets - literally could not give you a reason except vibes

"Velociraptor" by Storybots - this one's there representative of the feral dinosaur queers. you know what I mean.

[lesbianmarrow]

ok i will make my post about legends of tomorrow 5.09 “zari not zari” now. i liked this episode :) introduces charlie’s scary sister and reveals that the other lady is also her sister! the main storyline is a lot more of plot stuff than character stuff which is less interesting to me but it’s engaging enough to watch so that’s fine. of course i adored the zari b-plot as well. zari meets zari! and the ending of this episode....oh boy what a gut punch. 

first off i thought it was soooo funny how they referenced supernatural and the legends went to where supernatural was filming. absurdly funny to me that sara is a spn fan and wants to fuck dean. it makes me wonder what tv or movie character ava wants to fuck, my guess would be carol from the movie carol but idk. also funny that neither charlie nor constantine are spn fans. i guess because their lives are already supernatural enough. the spn music cues in the score made me laugh. thanks blake neely and daniel james chan. when sara saw the dead spn production people and was like “if theyre dead then whos filming season 15???” it inevitably made me think of covid. though im sure that wasnt the intention at the time. 

charlie’s character has always felt like it was about queerness in textual and metaphorical ways and that is especially present here. even her choice to change her name to charlie and her sisters’ insistence on calling her clotho feels very trans. and charlie’s fear that she is just like her family, and sara’s reassurance that she is a legend because she chose to be one. and this idea of found family. very queer themes. i did find them a little on the cliche side but honestly i didnt really mind. its a good theme and its especially nice to see with a character who is textually bisexual. when sara is trying to strand the bone knife sister in the temporal zone and the bone knife sister is trying to drag sara along with her and charlie shows up and saves sara and cuts her sisters hand off....oh that was wonderful. and the look on sara’s face afterward is great as well. yay for found family and choosing your own destiny :) 

finally the zari reveal! love that it’s video games that does it LOL. i think it’s so fun how the scene where zari 2 meets zari 1 really shows the difference in how tala ashe plays both characters. truly girls who say hiii vs girls who say bruh. it’s so nice to see how zari 1 is so overjoyed and relieved to hear that her brother and parents are alive and they have a good life. and i like that zari 2 is made a bit insecure by discovering this past version of her, and worries that she’s somehow lesser. i just really like the identity discovery stuff with zari and i think the show is executing it well. 

what a bold and heartbreaking choice to have behrad killed while zari is on her totem trip. i thought the scene where we see zari crying and mourning was so moving. and i loved that she marched up to constantine and said this is YOUR fault and YOU have to help me fix this. it wasnt really said yet in this episode but i suspect that zari is going to be blaming herself for behrad’s death bc she would think about how she could have protected him if she had just not gone on her totem journey. and that might lead to her rejecting the idea of self-exploration altogether. right now she’s lashing out at constantine but i bet she’s gonna lash out at herself next. another thing i found interesting was how atropos (thats her name right?) was saying to behrad about how hes not supposed to be there and he had evaded fate and she was correcting the mistake. i guess thats about zari changing the timeline huh. will be interesting to see how that shakes out. 

oh i totally forgot about the mick & ava storyline lol. it was fine i guess. really funny that mick would take family relationship advice from ava who is a clone and did not have a family. not his smartest moment. but i like how ava is so supportive of him and just wants to help. i love that she volunteered to help him, the two of them are so different but she feels a kinship toward him. maybe because, just like her, he is a lot more complex than he first lets on. and also since ava never had a family of course she would want to help mick make amends with his. mick’s daughter seems fun and i will be interested in seeing how the relationship between the two of them progresses. when he was with her for halloween and she dressed up as captain cold.......ohhhhhhhh

[straightfromthetorturedpoetsdept]

the fact that taylor performed cant feel my face on the 1989 tour during the height of her eating disorder is really painful because while that song is obviously about drug addiction it can also be interpreted to be about having an ED. idk maybe this is poorly worded or seems weird it just feels like she chose that song for a reason if that makes any sense

i've taken a break from studying to procrastinate on the internet but I haven't been able to stop thinking about this actually.

I went back and listened to her performance of the song and I find it really interesting that she switched the pronoun to "him." I find it interesting because there really was no need for her to do that. I know she was very closeted at the time but she also wasn't hiding the fact that she wanted to be out either.

She sang other songs like Cheerleader for example where she didn't bother to change the original lyric and I think the fact that she used "him" does make your theory that she chose the songs she covered on purpose during 1989 tour.

the reason I say this is because if you go to this page and just scroll until you reach the "1" time played part, you see the song titles of every artist she invited on tour and I think the songs she chose to play were very gay and sad but this one specifically... yeah I think this one was intentionally done because of her ED.

I think she views her ED voice as masculine, which is very interesting to me. I don't really want to speculate too hard but remember when we were talking about style and blank space's cake scene and how this feels ED related? I think this is another thing that lends credibility to that theory because okay, you could take this down a literal route or down a very metaphorical route about how she was brainwashed by the patriarchy into wanting a prince charming to the point where she would kill herself to attain the superficial standards that society lays out for women, where she is masculinizing her ED voice.

I think Taylor has struggled a lot with her gender identity actually, but not in like the 'trans' way but more in like what does it mean to be a 'good' woman type of way. Like, white women have this standard of womanhood that is quite harmful to society and all the things that are praised in us lead to oppression for other groups, and especially other women. Not even in like the gender expectations of dress or make-up but just how you are as a white woman and what society tells you as a white woman is that in order to be good, you need to be liked.

sorry this is getting so off topic but i have a point promise. white women in society are taught to prioritize being liked above all else, and it is clear in the documentary, Taylor also felt this struggle. I also think that Taylor is autistic so like I feel like she knew this from a very young age. Go look at her unreleased lyrics (most of which are from 12-15 year old taylor) and you can see this desire to be seen as like desirable from early on. She constantly penned songs about yearning for a man who doesn't know any better than to chase a prettier pageant queen than you. I think as she grew older, she became aware of this warped worldview that she was forcefed through media and I think by 1989, she was highly aware of a lot more than we give her credit for as a fandom.

side bar: when people say taylor didn't write the 10mv lyrics before 2021, i have to laugh because a line that says fuck the patriarchy is actually exactly the type of line I would expect 2012 taylor to cut in order to seem more palatable as a songwriter. I think that's also why we see her fucking the patriarchy more in her lyrics now, because she truly doesn't care about seeming like a good girl anymore.

ANYWAYS

white women are taught as a class that we need to be liked, ABOVE ALL ELSE. we must be peaceful wives who are practically perfect in every way but that never show any anger because anger is a "man" emotion. It's everywhere in white culture, but especially in the ways that white women interact with each other to enforce this standard. Being polite often means, for white women, sitting down and shutting up.

That's why in the miss americana documentary, she focuses a lot on her belief system of good vs bad and how it really enabled her to be the worst version of herself because in order to be good in this society, you have to be polite in the face of a lot of injustice. You cannot speak out because speaking out labels you a bitch and nobody wants to be a bitch.

I think by 1989, Taylor was kind of fed up with the cage she had built for herself but couldn't find a way out of that shit. You gotta keep in mind, once you hand over the amount of control BMR had over Taylor, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get it back. In a way, she had to be hit with 2016 in order for her to realize that it DOESN'T MATTER IF EVERYONE LIKES YOU because the people who matter will shoulder anything for you. I think she needed to realize that getting everyone to like was an impossible goal to set for herself in order for her to grow into the person she is today.

Like, I think she was very aware of social dynamics because songs like blank space really hides a lot of female rage under the comedic tones of the music video/song. Like, I don't think the fandom realizes just how angry taylor was/is with the media perception of her because she's so good at hiding her true emotions well.

I say all this to say that I'm almost positive taylor masculinizes her ED in her music because it's such a multifaceted metaphor for all the ways in which she internalized the most harmful parts of patriarchy growing up and how being in the public eye for almost 20 years and growing up in that eye as a woman really fucking almost killed her. I say all this to say that I'm pretty sure she meant it that way anon and I'm sad now.

Thanks for this.

Idk if this is just me but I hate people who choose to stay "neutral" on nb people but their reason is "well, I don't understand them but they aren't hurting anyone" and... at that point you're not neutral anymore, at that point even if it's just a little you're supporting them. I have seen lots of cis people, and worst of all many genuine trans people, say something like that and worst of all have also had a friend try to argue with me about not supporting them with this logic. This is a childhood friend so he obviously knows I'm trans so when I said I was looking to see if I could make a friend that was also trans he said "oh, I know this dude who has a trans friend. Maybe you guys could get along" and I was like "sure. Is this friend also a trans man" and he said "oh no she's non-binary" and I said I was not interested anymore and he said why and I proceeded to tell him that I feel like nb people mock my neurological condition for a simple fashion or political statement and he answered with "oh but they are not hurting anyone so who cares" and I proceeded to explain how they hurt trans people by making us out to be a choice and not something you're born as so in the process making it so transphobes were right all along and he said he understood but up till this day he still shows issue with me not supporting them and still thinks they are not hurting anyone and idk it just feels like how it would be like... I don't want to make a race comparison so bear with me for this example... it would be like if a milk snake said "coral snakes make us look bad because they are venomous and people confuse them with us and think we're dangerous and hurt us instead" and another snake said "oh but they are not harming anyone in the end so let it be" like it just told you the issue and you just ignored it (YES IT'S A WEIRD EXAMPLE I JUST DON'T WANT TO MAKE A COMPARISON THAT MIGHT CAUSE TROUBLE LOL)

Weird metaphor but I get you. I pretty much feel the same. It’s like we have spent over a decade with nonbinary people and supporters have actively done damage to trans people in the public eye. Why do they think that self ID managed to take off running.

I don’t really like the idea that “if you’re not with us you are against us” because it’s fundamentally flawed but the people that just ignore the issue or are neutral about it despite seeing the same things drive me crazy.

[37-children-of-the-dreams]

Oh, thats interesting. Actually, does Hector think of Eira as his daughter, or not? Cause it means that both Six and Eira aren't related to him, but like they're his children, but his married children, and thats sounds weird. Six is kinda more like his son cause of still active papers, but idk, it feels like trope "I raised my own child and other person's child like my own, but I'm ok if they'll marry" but kinda not, cause even Eira thought of Hector and Klipse as her parents when decided not to burn marriage papers.

I know read one story, old one, where girl's father gone and had another family where he had son, and she hated that son, but when he arrived to her she got used to him and married him. Wait, it does sounds like Six's and Eira's story. Anyway, that feels like incest. But Eira doesn't have nor Hector's nor Klipse's boold. Here we can have meme with stepsister.

Also, what gender is Hector? I mean, it's non binary, trans, or maybe what it's original sex?

Eira and Six’s relationship isn’t incest at all, and idk on the stepsister meme, but go off. They’re not even remotely related in terms of royal incest. Their relationship does sound like it comes from Game of Thrones and House of the Dragons, and I do take inspiration from historical royal marriage references from around the world for their relationship, but I make sure to modernize it for it to fit the story, and make sure the two aren’t that related even if it sounds like it’s incest.

Hector does see Eira as his surrogate daughter. He helped create her and was there for every development stage of Eira’s gestation process. Then, when Klipse left, and Eveline got too sick, and Edward neglected Eira, Hector was the one raising her even when he could have just paid a nanny or governess to raise her. Hector has been Eira’s primary parental figure for the majority of her life, and even when Hector has his own children, he’s still willing to act like he’s Eira’s parent when she needs it.

Now, yes Hector is Six’s stepparent, and he does see Six as a son he gained from Klipse’s cloning process, but the reason he’s not weirded out by the fact that his surrogate daughter and stepson are married is the fact that he knows they’re not that much related, and that compared to past royal marriages from around the world, he did his job in securing the throne having heirs. Yes, people will say he married off his “children” to each other, but like at least he made sure they’re devoted and loving to each other compared to an arranged marriage that would destroy a royal lineage.

Now, Eira’s relationship with Klipse. It’s about to fracture due to meeting Six and learning that Klipse has been abusing him. She’s about to metaphorically see that Klipse isn’t the same father she used to know, and afterwards will regret burning those papers because it also means she tied Hector and Braille to horrible man who had changed for the worse. She actually stops thinking Klipse is the surrogate father she loved, and in the end, the only reason Eira would say Klipse is her father is because he’s her FATHER-IN-LAW through her marriage to Six.

Lastly, Hector is intersex. Hector can be she/he/they depending on what Hector wants people to talk to him as.
