#it means that Godzilla’s gender

[the-best-bagel]

finished 2b's route and i did like it and i know there's like 30 more endings i need to get through and this is also probably bc im just coming off of revolutionary girl "hide every point of the show behind 3 levels of abstraction" utena but i kind of wish automata kept its cards a little closer to its chest

#this is not to say nier is at all bad #and i could very much just be missing some of the finer details bc it was my first playthrough/ the first route #some of the stuff with machine gender roles feels a little shallow though #and like maybe the game just isnt that concerned with gender #but there are parts where it feels like it is #it could also just be that i end up disagreeing with some of the things the game has to say wrt gender #theres definitely more emphasis on the meaning of life #which i also feel like they impress a little too hard #but! im still in the beginning basically and probably just bitching abt them laying the groundwork for a better argument to come later lol #the gameplay is super fun and i literally pogfaced at the coastal battle w godzilla #its not godzilla but i forgot its name #that was such a cool fight though #also beating the goliaths with their own hands is so fun #FUCK the hacking games though i suck so hard at them #and it seems like no one else does LOL #im getting better though #but yea if i still dont get it after every ending ill read some discussions #and if i still dont after that then its still a great game lol #just not utena great #which is very hard to achieve there is no shame in that

Yandere Godzilla Headcanon

(This is in general, so no specific version of Godzilla)

Godzilla, as a yandere, would be completely different from Mothra. Now I do see every version of Godzilla acting almost the same as a yandere, but with slight differences. I might do that later, at some point.

Godzilla, as a yandere, would be possessive, controlling, manipulative, obsessive, and jealous.

Godzilla being possessive would mean you couldn’t see anyone beside him—well, maybe his kid, depending on the version. You wouldn’t be allowed to be near anyone besides him; the atomic kaiju kind of sees you as his property, but he does truly care for you, even though he doesn’t really show it most of the time. He's controlling; he wouldn’t allow you to do much of anything without him present. Want to go swimming? Alright, give him a minute. Want to go hang out? No, he doesn’t like them. The King would also try manipulating you into thinking you’re all he needs and no one else, and maybe even ruining other kaiju reputations if it meant proving to you they were bad or not trustworthy. He’s obviously obsessed with you; the thought of some kaiju taking you away from him really grinds his gears. Godzilla has to be near you all the time; otherwise, he goes kind of crazy and becomes really aggressive. The King of the Monsters is really jealous, like so jealous you can’t look at another kaiju of the opposite or same gender without him becoming incredibly jealous. You can only look at him and no one else; it’s also the same if another Kaiju starts looking at you. Oh boy, that’s a good way to get Godzilla’s attention. Only he can look at his queen, and no one else can.

But with how he’s with you, he’ll treat you like a precious flower; he’ll hold you close and cuddle you. With the added benefit of him allowing you to call him Gojira. He may sometimes get aggressive, but he truly loves his precise queen.

[do-you-know-this-queer-character]

Would you take Godzilla as a character considering Godzilla has no gender and can reproduce asexually?

Uhh, probably not? By nonhuman characters, I generally mean characters that are sentient enough to identify in a certain manner. I'm no Godzilla expert, but isn't Godzilla just like...a really big iguana?

[tyrantisterror]

Twitter (or “X”, I guess) is currently losing its mind over a media analysis video that implies King Kong might have some racially charged (or even racist) themes. Thoughts?

I actually talked about this recently here: https://tyrantisterror.tumblr.com/post/730214779314176000/kaiju-twitter-is-currently-in-a-tizzy-because

But I also think King Kong (1933) has a somewhat undeserved sterling reputation in general. Even critics who have otherwise been quick to be hypercritical and dismissive of monster movies talk about King Kong as if it's a "perfect" movie, because historically King Kong has always been considered a classic. And, like, historically speaking, yes, King Kong will always be an important and groundbreaking film. It's a landmark moment in special effects.

But if you take the special effects out of it... you're not really left with much to rave about. The acting in King Kong ranges from passable to outright bad (and racist when you consider the islanders and Charlie the inexplicable Chinese Stereotype cook who exists for... comic relief? I guess?), the characters themselves are thin, the dialogue can be very good but also outright atrocious, and the camerawork (again, outside of special effects) is nothing to rave about. King Kong has a reputation for perfection that's solely hinged on cool special effects and a shitload of nostalgia. It does not have the depth to its storytelling of, say, Godzilla (1954), which had to claw and fight over decades to be reappraised by critics for its many virtues. All King Kong has is groundbreaking special effects.

And those special effects are really good, don't get me wrong. You feel for that monkey before the movie ends, and the wonder and terror of Skull Island's ecosystem of monsters is rightfully iconic. But if you dig past that - and you have to if you want to analyze the movie, because most of it is surface level stuff - you're not left with much to analyze, and what there is to analyze are a bunch of racist tropes that were old and timeworn by the time King Kong was made, and much more so now. Evil black savages who want to sacrifice a white woman because of her enchanting Aryan beauty, a giant ape who's horny for said white woman because of said enchanting Aryan beauty, heroic white men risking everything as they plunder an evil, backwards island of degenerate relics from the past that were best left forgotten, Charlie the Chinese Cook who is exactly as grating a racial stereotype of Chinese people as you'd expect from the 1930's - yeah, all of these tropes have racist roots, and whether or not the racism was intended by the creators doesn't really matter, because they certainly did nothing to try and mitigate it or divorce the tropes from those racist roots. It's a racist movie, an undeniably racist movie, which isn't something that should surprise people because it's from the 19fucking30's.

And that doesn't mean we have to condemn King Kong, and that watching it makes you a problematic Nazi MAGA chud, or that we're not allowed to praise what's good about it (i.e. the special effects). It just means that, maybe, after 90 years of completely untempered praise from all corners of the film world, maybe it's time to admit that King Kong, while still a classic, is not a perfect movie. That it has some flaws. And maybe we can start by admitting the really obvious flaw of it being a movie from the 1930's that reflects the 1930's attitudes about race which were, you know, not great, and then from there we could maybe talk about how it reflects 1930's attitudes about gender (also not great), and then to how the acting in it is mostly bad, and then to how the scriptwriting is... let's say uneven, and then maybe admit that really we just like the monster bits and the rest is kind of forgettable at best, and that Godzilla is a far superior movie in all respects.

But I think what's likely to happen is people will viciously defend the movie without thinking about it critically for a moment, because nuance and honest self reflection is for chumps.

Lunch In Space

Part 1

Wherein we are introduced to two of our main characters, the perils of interspecies cafeterias and the alternate uses of dog jumpers, and the Narrator is too self-obsessed to introduce themselves properly

4am, in the vast darkness of space, the lightless void that's darker than the stygian depths.

Apart from the stars. They're actually pretty bright. Famously so come to think of it. Also all the lights on the station, so you can look at it and admire it and spot any fresh new exciting holes that have appeared.

And if you're on shift, like me, use those handly lights to find the cafeteria and very carefully pick through the offerings because believe me, while Yarrick won't kill you, your body will basically say 'What the heck?' and treat it like a nice big plate of Silicone jelly and you will be experiencing a whole new and exciting set of sensations, and hey, sometimes you just have to clutch the toilet seat and scream a bit: We've all been there.

So I get my nice human safe food, and an extra roll of purple stuff that's not bread but it might as well be, and relocate my heiny to the big table by the window, the one that's always a bit chilly which is why me and Atrix and Atrix are usually the only ones who sit there.

I mean Atrix does because she's comfortable with a little extra cooling, and Atrix is there because he's not driving, he's just along for the ride.

"Yo." I say to my good buddy, the giant purple kangaroo dinosaur. She gives me a Yo back and dual finger guns.

Atrix the pocket lizard sticks his snout out and makes grabby paws at the roll.

I slide it over to his wifey, the purple lizard woman with the colour changing face and a degree in Astromechanics (Also horticulture, Art History and apparently, Interspecies erotica).

"You're over feeding him." Big Atrix says. Small Atrix grakkles. He has opinions and he really wants that bun, but then again if he gets too fat he has to move out, change gender and start paying taxes.

I also know that Godzilla here always skimps on the husband food because she knows I'll swing by with a little something something for her pocket hubby.

"Yeah well, someone has to be the fun Aunt." I say cheerfully. You're always the Aunt with the Atrix, regardless of gender.

I settle in, to eat a lovely meal of... what appears to be chicken flavoured... it's... hmm. Well, it's chicken flavoured and guaranteed not to cause anything to go a funny colour and fall off. It actually tastes great, but I'd describe it as being yes, a thing.

"So," I say around the food flavoured... stuff, "Picked a good solid Traditional Human Name yet?". My friend bobs her head again: Practicing her human physical emotes.

-This should be good. Atrix are good people but they don't have spoken names. They have a word that means 'I'm gonna show you name' then they change their face colours like a cuttlefish. They literally just turn into another person for a moment: This drives most species nuts.

Humans find it hilarious. Atrix can see the funny side. Humans and Atrix get along a little too well for everyone else's comfort and That's The Way We Like It™️.

Big n' Purple thinks about it, then says, "I was thinking... Gondolier Dottirsdottir, or maybe Luminal Effervescence."

OK so the Atrix tend to go for names that are just really fun to say. hence the Secretary General of the Combined Human-Atrix Interstellar Survey, a really big female with as much or more gravitas as a class two black hole - a very serious pocket pal all 'round - being named Pingbing O'Candyfloss.

I consider it. "People will call you Gondy, or Lumy." I point out to her as she feeds purple... bread-y stuff... to the iguana-sized male that lives in her belly pouch. He grakkles at me. He's a sociable little guy, quite chatty, I just have no idea what he's saying. Gondy grackles back and he does Upsies arms.

"Gondy. Ahm-hum. That sounds good. Gondy." she says trying it on. I can see she's definitely enjoying the mouth sound.

She hauls her hubbins out of her pouch, which is covered by her overalls and a big apron flap so he can sleep or play games on her phone.

"Did you... put him in one of those dog jumpers?" I ask as she puts her guy on the table. He looks smug and shows off. It's a small, chihuahua sized Christmas sweater. It's currently May, or close enough. But I'm not going to harsh his mellow. The little dude's obviously stoked to be a fashionista.

Gondy bobs her head looking pleased. "I'm thinking he should be Raxyplank Magellan. Raxy's a cute name." she says.

Raxy looks up and says "Rax!" around a mouthful of hubby food. Well, I can't fault that. At least he gets a name he can say.

For an Atrix male, he's pretty adventurous - He'll talk to people and even come out and walk around if he can keep one eye on Gondy.

Traditionally, or "Back in the day" - Several tens of thousands of years ago, until an Atrix got big enough to be safe, there was a good chance that something would camper up and make a meal of them.

So they have a general resistance to being out in the open, where it's cold and there might be cool alien eagles or space-lizard foxes.

Luckily when they get big enough they develop pouches and to they pick a male out and carry them around for safety and to have someone to talk to and hold shiny rocks (I'm a bit fuzzy on the finer details), so you almost always see two Atrix, even if one of them is usually hiding.

And now Raxy is hanging out with us like a regular little dude and getting crumbs on his ugly Christmas sweater. It is in all ways a pretty nice moment.

Anyway that's about when the station blew up...

While normally I am a staunch opponent of gender essentialism, I turn into one of its strongest proponents when talking with my mother, because being able to say "it's a guy thing, Mom" means I don't have to spend half an hour explaining the rationale behind my decision to go see a damn Godzilla movie with my friends

[kawaiiblue18]

Click for better quality So um, I got a lil silly after rewatching the Legendary Monsterverse movies

So basically I made a Rottmnt x Monsterverse crossover AU I’m calling Rise of the Ancient Kaiju Turtles (RotAKT AU for short). It takes place in the Legendary Monsterverse movies in which the turtles take the place of the kaiju. This is my design for Raphael, who takes Godzilla’s place. I’ll be drawing refs for the other turtles later. More rambling about this AU below the cut

Additional doodles:

So, in this au, Raphael takes the place of Godzilla. I based his design mostly from Godzilla plus some elements from Gamera (who is a snapping turtle kaiju). Raph sports mainly Godzilla’s abilities: the ability to absorb anything nuclear and the atomic breath beam except it’s red. I decided not to give most of Raph her cannon ninpo powers like he does in Rottmnt mainly because she’s already huge, her hide plus shell is already extremely durable, and keeping the cloning ability would make him a bit too overpowered. However, he can create limb projections that are not attached to her body (as show in the doodles).

Also if you haven’t already noticed, Raph is bi-gender. And before you say anything, technically Godzilla is intersex anyways and can reproduce asexually (example: Godzilla Jr appearing out of nowhere without another adult of Godzilla’s species around) so I don’t wanna hear it.

More things to note is that Raph is Godzilla’s age which is like over 250 million years old and he’s the oldest of her adopted siblings. (Note: I say adopted because even though they are all part turtle, none of them actually share genetic makeup, but treat each other as siblings anyways because they’re all the only one of their species alive and other turtle-like kaiju is the closest they are gonna get.) Raph took over as alpha Titan after her predecessor and parent, Dagon (the skeleton found in Godzilla 2014), died at the hands of the parasitic Kraang (the MUTOs is this AU) to which Raph plus other kaiju were barely able to beat them into hibernation. Over the following years, it’s Raph’s duty as alpha to make sure the balance of nature remains. So he doesn’t pay much attention to humans when ancient human civilizations start appearing since they aren’t causing any causing any problems.

Ancient humans made cave paintings of the kaijus and giving her the name Rapheal which means “God has healed” after seeing how Raph’s radiation helps the environment and believing all kaiju are gods. Yes, this means the renaissance artists were NAMED AFTER the turtle kaiju siblings, not the other way around. Ancient civilizations also called Raph the King/Queen of monsters depending on how she was depicted in their culture.

After Raph is rudely awoken up from deep hibernation in 2014 from a nuclear explosion, she’s a bit confused to find how developed human civilization has gotten and how they’re basically everywhere on the planet. He still goes to defeat the awoken male and female Kraang (aka male and female MUTOs) before they reproduce in Boston. In 2019, the eco-terrorist humans had managed to find all the alien pieces of armor and bring back the Shredder (aka Ghidorah) which leads Raph to wake up her siblings from hibernation to help defeat him.

Raph is cautious towards humans and doesn’t completely understand why they tried to almost kill him, but Mikey makes her realize not all humans are bad through introducing Raph to April (aka Madison in this AU). I write more on this AU as I complete the rest of the ref sheets.

[sunder-the-gold]

[M:tG] Accept the ugliness of Green

It is not without any capacity for love and friendliness, but it is not the cuddly Hufflepuff-and-Hobbits, family-and-friends Color.

Of all Colors, Green believes the most in Fate and the least in Free Will. The most in collectivism and the least in individualism. The most in blind tradition and superstition, and the least in experimentation and innovation.

You cannot fight Fate, you cannot change your Destiny; the gods themselves will strike you down if you reach beyond the station to which you were born, if your own people don't strike you down first to save themselves from the gods' wrath. And you are NOT allowed to be depressed about it.

Your personal survival matters less than the survival of the family lineage, tribe, culture, species... and your personal happiness matters even less.

At your birth, your people make assumptions about your Fate based on omens. You're blessed with good luck if you're healthy and beautiful, your parents are important, the stars are right, and the harvest was good. But you are cursed with bad luck if you were born sickly, malformed, just before a famine, plague, or major defeat, under frightening stars, to impoverished or outcast parents... This is how your people choose their kings and pariahs.

If your tribe doesn't believe in non-binary genders or gender-fluidity, they will not accept the Blue idea that you can change your nature. If your tribe believes that all gay men are a third gender, they will force them to live as that gender whether they like it or not. Whatever a Green tribe believes nature to be, they will enforce that belief with violence.

Green believes in harmony with nature... that absolutely does not mean "peace".

Green does not tolerate the other Colors any more than they tolerate it. It opposes Blue and Black as fiercely as they oppose it. If you live opposed to Green's values, Green will seek to crush you underfoot.

The weak are prey for the strong. The strong feed on the weak. Just as ants will raid other hives and steal larvae to raise as slave-workers, there is nothing in Green opposed to raiding and enslaving weaker, more vulnerable peoples.

Elves pray to their nature gods to send beasts to defend them, and Godzilla emerges from the forest to wage divine war without once acknowledging the worshipful insects at his feet. But it's less Godzilla: King of the Monsters and more like that forgotten fighting game: Primal Rage.

Death is no escape from Green's brutal philosophy, because if any Color believes in reincarnation and history-as-an-unbroken-cycle, it is Green. Like Wheel of Time, there is no end, there is no new beginning, there is no change, no Heavenly Paradise. There is only the next turning of the wheel as everyone repeats everything that ever happened before.

The world and its gods and all people die and sink into chaos only for a new world and gods and people to emerge from chaos and start the cycle all over again. Forever.

THIS is the Color that White and Red both neighbor but cannot embrace; the Color that they reject deeply enough to distinguish themselves from it.

THIS is the Color that Blue and Black oppose on an essential, intolerable, passionate level.

[the-fujoshi-thesis]

are there any cis men who enjoy yaoi?

Not only do cis men enjoy yaoi even straight men, cis lesbians and asexuals do.

(I'm going to use yaoi and BL interchangeably here)

In the book "The Japanification of Children's Popular Culture: From Godzilla to Miyazaki" in the chapter on "North American reactions to Yaoi" Antonia Levi, tells us about an online poll she did with 431 participants, 43 of which said they were men. 11%, she writes, said they were heterosexual. One quote from one of them:

I’ve always thought the male body was ugly, which means I thought my body was ugly. […]I began to see how women see men. […] Yaoi is a way for me to see myself as the woman who loves me sees me[1].

[1] (Levi, 2009) Seite: 155.

Other sources from manga publishers to other researchers also place the percentage of men who read yaoi to somewhere between 10% and higher than 50% depending on many factors such as a specific manga title.

Men who read yaoi/BL are called fudanshi in Japanese, were the "jo" in fujoshi (meaning woman) is replaced by "dan" (meaning man).

When you ask a question like "does this specific group of people do these and that" you should ask yourself first "why wouldn't they".

Do women enjoy action movies? Well, first, some of them do and some of them don't, just like with men, and second, was this one action movie good or bad? Do huge swaths of action movies have structural problems that men have an easier time ignoring than women? Are there other factors like advertising and cinema culture that skew movie attendance in one direction or the other? And then you put all of this into writing and make an analysis.

When it comes to yaoi/BL people are really, really quick to pull up the fandom version of identity politics into who can and can't consume and create such content. Suddenly, your gender and sexual orientation is said to be the deciding factor on which kind of fictional content you're allowed to enjoy and create insted of your likes and dislikes.

When in reality you can just be a fan of the genre. Or the gender of the protagonist is unimportant to you. Or you simply like queer stories regardless of how much you, personally, identify with the characters or their lives. Maybe you're a lesbian and want to read same sex stories but w/w manga hit too close to home or makes you think too much on real life and that's why you prefer male same sex stories especially if they're written by a woman. Maybe the metaphorical trans-ness of men being written by women in a genre dominated by female desires and fantasy does it for you.

(Of course men also write yaoi/BL, some gei komi authors (gay manga written for gay men) do it regularly and some of them are even women. They just use the preferred tropes of the BL genre and draw the male protagonists differently to reflect on what "women" (their target audience regardless of how many men are in there) want their men to look like instead of what a majority of gay men think what a gay male character has to look like)

As a final note, here a male youtuber who goes through some yaoi

God This is Pathetic

You really have people getting honestly upset that parts of the GIANT, NUCLEAR WASTE LASER SPEWING SEA LIZARD are now pink instead of blue.

Because pink isn't "masculine." Never mind the fact that Godzilla isn't always depicted as being "male" (not even really a Godzilla "fan," only seen a few of the movies, and even I know that), and, honestly, assigning gender, much less gender ROLES, to fictional giant nuclear dinosaurs is fucking stupid.

"But it's not his original color!!1!"

My Brother in Christ, not only has Godzilla used pink before, the original movie was in BLACK AND WHITE.

How damn fragile can some cis-het dudes' egos even GET?! This is the whole "(Movie) Venom has to be straight so I can project my self-worth onto them, and will therefore bend over backwards to redefine as many words and meanings as I have to to make that happen!" debaucle all over again.

(For context, when, after the 2nd movie came out, and they had Venom straight up say that he and Eddie loved each other, and showing that neither of them were straight, the cis-het "comic" dude-bros threw an absolute fucking fit. Not only would they violently chuck aside the info that Eddie Brock had been canonically bisexual in the comics since the 80's and that the two had 100% been in a very much romantic relationship for decades, but they would also claim that "Venom's not gay because he's asexual!!" Except, A}, You're [purposefully] throwing asexuality and asexual reproduction into a damn blender. And, B}Asexuals are 100% part of the LGBTQ community)

Y'know, it took you pointing out the gender of the female human characters in Shamhat to make me realize there are no male human characters in that fic. Like- I read the Battra reply and my goofy ass Bi-Poly brain went "Why just the girls, what about the human dudes??"- and then I had to do a double-take before I realized "Wait a fucking minute- I can't think of any on Infant Island. Am I insane there's no way I missed this??".

I am insane and I did miss this. Somehow that reality never fucking clicked in my head and im reeling. It took me 2 years to realize there's not a single sex scene in that fic with a male human. This should not a surprise but somehow it is.

Um- that being said- any plans to add any? Ik I mentioned Trapper once but off rip I can also think that maybe Ren would be a neat addition? Could give him the Maia Simmons treatment with redemption via monster partner (y'know now that I've just typed that I'm realizing that you could swap their places and the outcome would be nearly identical. That's kind of an insane alternate reality to think about).

Hm, we could stand to even out the human gender ratio... Ren could benefit from an enlightening evening with a Titan willing to convince him of the error of his ways through alternate means. Ford is certainly an attractive man but he's married with a son, so the closest he'd get could be a quick supply run cameo where he sizes up Goji and goes "Nice." There's also Barnes from KOTM, he was the one who hit the nail on the head that Godzilla and Mothra have a thing going on, and can learn it's not as "messed up" as he thought. Oh, and Trapper! Trapper would fit in Shamhat like a glove.

Actually, Ilene Chen being Battra's first fits perfectly for the exact reasons specified. Kong would also be a good fit for Battra's first time as well.

...that came out wrong.

Or did it?

But yeah, either one would make sure that Battra losing his virginity would be a gentle affair where things go at a pace he's comfortable with. Nothing fancy or extravagant, just a simple and tender introduction to the simple pleasures of the body.

Its official :>

I know I've said it here and there on a few posts on transgender stuff, but its a official, I'm trans :D

TW: I talk about abuse and body dysphoria in this post, you dont have to read the rest, this section is just me sharing my experiences in my teenage years with a homophobic as hell republican as a father.

I've known for a while like ever since I was in Middle School, I had a really hard time fitting in with other girls, I tried making friends with them but they were all into make up and dress's and talking about boys and other stuff, I made at least one friend in middle school but they left me for a group of girly girls, and I wasn't interested in what they liked, I was into a lot of things they were not interested in, I was a huge nerd, I liked games, Godzilla, movie production, comics, marvel, star wars, fnaf, dinosaurs, bendy, (not saying girls dont like these things, girls can like anything guys :D women are amazing I know a lot of amazing girls now :>) nothing they liked and when they saw that they weren't interested in me anymore, but I connected with the guys a lot more, but they always saw me as the girl who tagged along and needed to be treated gently, at first I had no interest in the lgbtq community or the idea of being something else other than what I already was, I couldn't even really talk about, since the topic of gay and gender ideology wasn't allowed in the house I used to live in, my father hated gay people, said they were wired, and shouldn't be his words not mine "frolicking around and being queer" da hell dose that mean? im still baffled by that, he's also that kind man who thinks lesbians are cool and gay men shouldn't exist, it was that level of misogyny and homophobia, looking at it now, it was really disgusting and disturbing, but I was 12 I didn't know any better.

but than as I got older I became more aware, and started questioning things, I was 13 in my room, on my phone, and I found this artist who was drawing deltarune characters, deltarune was also a huge eye opener to the lgbtq comunity for me, since kris identified as none binary, but I found one of the oc's the artist made and they identified as A gender, and I was like whats that and looked into it more and more, and than I went from I dont know who or what I am, to maybe im a demi girl, maybe im A Gender, maybe im none binary and than boom, it clicked, I went with they/them/there's for a while, but I began to feel uncomfortable, by being refred to as her, she, I started hating wearing a braw and how scratchy and annoying it felt, I began hating my chest, I stopped wearing shorts due to my legs being abnormally hairy and that girls arent supposed to be hairy, at one point my dad was going to put me through a hole body hair removal process which would have removed all my body hair, and he was going to do it without me knowing, until my mother told me, she was the most supportive person I had while going through this, I was litteraly terrified to say no to my dad, but eventully he didint go through with it, but I still wasnt allowed to have body hair, every time we went shoe shopping he tried to get me pink shoes, and brands women would only use, we went on a cruise and we had to dress up, but I didint want to since I would have had to wear a dress, blue jeans were the only thing I had that was close to guy clothes, I wasnt allowed anything remotley masculine, only my mom would let me have products like old spice, and she took me guy clothe shopping but it had to be in secret from my father, who would hurt me and my mother if he found out, not physically well he would probably slap me, but only yell at my mother, which still wasnt good, eventully we left his sad ass, and now me and my mom live in a apartment together, and from there I could freely explore who I was, a month later I came out as trans to my mother right after we left, and im in therapy with an amazing therapist and I have amazing friends who dont fully understand but support me in every direction, only triggering thing Ive experinced so far was not being able to change my pronouns to he him lol, Curse you school bored! XD

anyway sorry for the lenghty slightly depressing post, I just wanted to share my story here since I have the platform to do so now, the freedom of speech is very rewarding and validating lol, origanlly this was going to be a post about "guys I got my first chest binder oh and btw im ftm" but I wanted to get this off my chest no pun intended and open myself up more on here, the trans comunity on tumblr has been amazing so far, especially the tf2 comunity on here, I truly feel welcomed and comfortable being here.

lot of grammar issues in here, grammars not my strong suit plus its 11 pm for me right now, im heading to bed lol, good night everyone!

#transgender #coming out as trans #trans rights #trans masc #ftm trans #im also not on any medication as of righting this once im settled finacially ill bring yall on that journey with me lol #if any one has any tips on trans masc I would really appreciate it XD cuz im still exploring #and its gonna be my first day tomorrow binding so uh lets see how that go's lol #k that enough from me back to tf2 comics :D

So I'm trying to write out some ideas for Dominion au scenes and I guess I'm questioning what kind of humor fits Dominator? She's definitely comically evil + mean spirited so there is dark humor galore (Plus with kid cosmic using death as a punchline, lmafo it makes for some dark opportunity),

but if.... sighes, If the writers really were trying to go for the "she doesn't belong in the show" anime-op-badass "sexy bully"(<<<gags I hate this approach i hate sexy bully) archetype, I have to wonder if she's conscious of herself in situations or not. In Q&A they say she loves riot grrl but she's also fine with using a guy persona to "mess with people"?? Mess with them how? Make them double take and awkwardly scramble to treat her differently? Or make them not judge her as a (gender) but as a badass foe first and foremost regardless, and being a woman is just the cherry on top? I have to wonder if her love for the riot grrl genre includes the fundamental girl empowerment (proud to be a girl), or the "don't judge me just because I am a girl! I belong here too!" aspect. Is her perspective that she is proud to be a badass woman, or does she feel she's a badass who happens to be woman therefore women must be great? She seems to use whatever tools she has at her disposal, but also has a comedic self care routine of fluffy towels and pink guest bathrooms. So she's all out evil villain, but also has sensitivities and seemingly personal boundaries with "me-time" which doesn't read entirely as the all out off the wall destroyer, but a quirky lethal evil conqueror. It matters because like, would she be a "sexy" bully that has personal boundaries over her body, or is it all in, make the others squirm and yelp? Is she vulgar and unhinged? or does she have some kind of pride that would prevent her from "degrading" her self in her view by flirting with people she sees as losers? We have characters that have a sense of pride or a sense of boundary, which can make for good kind spirited humor too, but if Dominator really doesn't belong, it's hard to discern just how far her actions would go. basically it's one of the two: A) she embodies the "intensely evil little girl" all grown up into a fearsome villainess, playing godzilla with living toys. This is within the same vein to Hater's "spoiled brat emo prince" all grown up into a manchild rockstar tyrant personality. This means she would have some personal boundaries and sense of pride, meaning she would toy with others (flirting, teasing) but not be intensely vulgar. Fits the setting of WoY pretty well, though? Is... being pretty and mean enough to be a sexy bully archetype? Ugh Man, I hate this trope lmao. It feels gross. B) She embodies the "evil no matter what" and just happens to be a woman. she relishes in bullying others and making them squirm, wanting to destroy everything in her path. She's super unhinged and even self-destructive if not careful. No sense of sympathy for others, she just. wants. to. destroy. those puny little faces. (Cute aggression over 9,000!) And it's bleak! Yeah! ...and, lonely. Woops. This means she would be very vulgar, and not care what people think about her or her body because of course she's already perfect, she's HER. This to me reads as more so the sexy bully archetype, but ignores some semblance of her softer sides like her "...friend?" moments with Sylvia or her funny reactions to things like "what? Ew--no." which imply personal boundaries. I'm writing a whole damn essay about this because I don't want to make her too vulgar if it's ooc. But... it's seriously hard to understand what the hell the writers even meant by "sexy bully" because is that just a hot mean girl? Or a get under your skin and twist the knife just "to break your heart and watch you cry" kinda thing??? HOW FAR DOES IT GO, idk idk. Frankly I wish canon Dominator was not fanservice sultry and only sporadically "maniac pixie nightmare girl" like the VA's videos implied, because that stuff was hysterically fitting for WoY. Unhinged and unfitting of the WoY universe, but in a light goofy turning instantly heavy and dark humored way.

#dominion au #woy #this is not pg due to the weird archetype mentioned #at the same time it's funny to play with expectations so like? is dominator dedicated to the bit??? #would she do completely unhinged things just for a laugh or is there a limit to the meaness? #i can definitely see dom rubbing it in hater's face that peepers is her minion now #but how far would she go to mess with hater? #she's on a vengeance streak so would she dig the knife deep as possible or would she think it beneath her to stick to a bit just to torture #lord hater? Idk this is hard to figure out lmao #i don't want to make a woy character too vulgar if its too ooc #bc even wander making those jokes in the big day did not sit right with me #felt awkward and more like writters placing the joke than wander being in on it #bc wander is pretty smart so his awkward phrasing is on purpose and good humor #but when it gets MUCH too suggestive its just. odd. doesn't feel like it fits his character. #it feels ooc and out of place for woy #but dominator is supposed to be “out of place” for woy so???? augh lmao #help........... sobs

Unique Magic: Crystal Cracked - With a focused smack of his tail on solid ground can create crystal stalagmites that rise out of the ground in direct his tail is pointing or towards a person obstructing them.

Personality: He is somewhat narcissistic as he is very selfish when it comes to his appearance. Doesn't judge others' looks though as he thinks why care doesn't affect him.(Daido & Clones however he can't help it) Has an eccentric way of befriending others by just declaring you his friend now without much effort. Is also pretty feral and naughty at times. Way to overconfident to some people's tastes so annoys easy.

Fun Facts: Maju is from space so isn't knowledgeable on this world's ins and outs but he is learning. Slang annoys him due to him not knowing what most of it means yet.

His radioactive glow

He came to this world upon feeling the energy of Daido and the other clones and being curious. Sad to say he was interested but now disappointed about them. He is very indifferent towards them despite being similar.

•

Loves to have a shiny appearance from his outfit to tail he loves to shine. He polishes his crystals daily so never dull. The crystal on his chest is actually partially his heart and area he will shield from any harm.

•

Very good at creating objects using crystals or gemstones. He's an expert on the subject as he is growing crystals from his body. Ones on his tail usually break off or he breaks them off and they regrow so he uses the broken pieces to craft things or sell them.

•

Enjoys getting others riled up or flustered. The reactions are priceless and fun to him. From pestering Daido/Clones to flustering others with his flirtations and height. He is always doing one or more of these to someone. Entertain him enough and he will cherish you dearly…be it as a foe,friend,or lover.

•

Maju has this random insatiable behavior to take people from dangerous people around the galaxy. This usually is children but can be others after seeing who is guarding them do something that to him looks like it's dangerous. It's pretty immediate that he does this without giving time for someone to explain even when the person perhaps wasn't in danger.

•

Takes or attempts to take people to his home planet where others he has taken live. They have formed small communities where they grow food,craft and trade items,and form new families. No one else lives on this planet as before was just Maju alone.
