In case you didn’t know or needed to hear it, things do get better after you turn 18. Your life isn’t over even when you hit 21. 💜
This is me at vaguely around my mid-twenties. I’m trans & I’m here & while I don’t have everything figured out, I certainly have figured myself out way more than when I was younger. 💜 Yes it gets better. Yes you can grow older & be trans. There are people out there willing to love & accept you for you. There are partners, friends, family to be found. Don’t give up! 💪 Be proud, be loud, & let your rage out! Down with cis! Let’s rock this joint & keep on living!! 🖤 Things will be less noisy eventually, just please live! ⭐️
💖 You are worth it & it gets better! 💜

❗️Mutual Aid Needed🦐
Hello hello, I am Woz, I am a trans guy from the global south, and outside of my day job in corporate, I am an artist. I am the breadwinner of my family, and I also get my younger sibling through school.
For a little more than half a decade I have been suffering with bad mental health and suicidal thoughts, on top of trying to keep my family afloat with what I can earn.
I work two jobs to earn money, on top of tabling at conventions to be able to earn extra on the side. I am the one who pays all the house bills, some groceries, often having to send money to my sibling for school and sometimes tuition. Due to the constant pressure from overworking and the abusive social environment I have been exposed to for the longest time, I am now experiencing bodily pains, shortness of breath, headaches, worsening eyesight, and worsened depression as I clock in 10-15 hours almost daily (including weekends and holidays) trying to make ends meet.
I’m humbly asking for your help so I can get proper healthcare, which has been out of my reach for the longest time due to poverty. I was hoping to be able to afford help a few years ago, as soon as I got a job, but ever since the pandemic, the local price hikes just kept going, and going, until the matter was off the table entirely. The biggest reason why I am trying to get this moving now and as urgently as possible is so I can still receive treatment while I am still mentally and physically able to take charge of my own health. 
While I’m still more or less able to function well enough to work, I recently escaped an abusive situation, which was one of the biggest causes of my misery. The fallout from this event brought on a severe impact on my mental health and I was subject to a cult-like shunning by my old community. This has caused me to develop suicidal thoughts again, which eventually led to several self-delete attempts, the latest of which almost succeeded had I not been caught at literally the last second.
At the moment I am stable again and in the hands of trusted loved ones, but I still do not have access to professional help and I don’t know how long this stability will last and the next thing might cause me to spiral again.
We already did some research on getting local help and have a plan in motion, all we need now is the funds to carry it out. The bulk of it will be for the initial consultations and possibly medication, and we’re hoping to have enough to get the ball rolling for a couple months’ worth of treatment as I get myself back on track.
The initial process will be the most expensive as I am suspecting to have an undiagnosed condition that I would like to have checked, as well as possible medication. I do not have a disability ID yet (but I plan on getting one once I get a dx on paper), so we may have to pay full price for initial treatments.
Currently, my primary goal for this would be to achieve psychiatric help, diagnosis, medication, and therapy.
If I’m able to save up for a few months of maintenance and still have extra left over, my secondary goal would be to finally get my knees checked, as I have chronic pain and the occasional kneecap dislocation in them. This has been left unchecked for more than 15 years due to both poverty as well as being outright denied healthcare by the adults around me due to them downplaying the problem. I am nearing my 30s soon. While I’m still able to walk and engage in physical activities without the use of mobility aids, I fear that the complications from this condition if left untreated will only take a turn for the worse as I age.
Direct ways to support me:
Paypal:
Ko-Fi:
I have prints! You can pick up some of my art here:
We do not have a set price goal in mind as it will be a months-long process of beginning treatment and maintaining it, but rest assured all funds received will be set aside for the purpose of my healthcare and well-being only.
I still cannot escape many factors of my life that continue to hurt me, but I am hoping that continuous treatment, therapy, and support will help keep me going so I can keep my family fed without me having to worry about my own health.
Any donation, big or small, helps me so much! Even just a dollar/peso helps, shares and reblogs too! PH Moots, feel free to ask for my GCash in private!
Thank you all for reading! I’m always grateful 😭🙏❤

KENERGY: The calm, cool, collected masculine confidence.
Balance in the divine masculine that embraces the boy, the daddy, and the sage.
Accepting others for who and how they are by not placing your expectations on them or writing their stories for them.
Listening to others and taking action. But recognizing what you’re good at and celebrating and sharing it, but more importantly recognizing what OTHERS are better at letting them do what they do best, celebrating them along the way.
Listening to and making our Barbie’s plans come to life by working together, keeping Barbie Land alive & thriving.
Being assertive and actually listening, not forcing your view and expectations but seeing and hearing others possibilities, and building up together.
Decentering yourself and following Barbie’s lead realizing that what’s good for we is good for me.
*If you’ve seen Barbie you understand what toxic KENERGY is, especially as guys are isolated like so many guys are today.
——
If a Ken is the ideal guy, a Chad, a Masc/Musc dude, most guys have a love/hate envy of the Kens. Most of us guys are Alans, the othered guys, the nerds, the soft guys, the f*gs, who are made to feel less than for not being the patriarchal stereotype. First and foremost, there is nothing wrong, bad, or less than about being an Alan. We all have an Alan and Ken side to us (and Barbie side too!) that we can use to genuinely connect with others. The patriarchal systems at play, however, have pitted guys against each other and even worse, against women and femininity, shoveling responsibilities onto us that we don’t actually want in a patriarchal world we didn’t consent to taking part in.
I know firsthand just how beautiful the world is when women lead and men follow - thank you to the matriarchs of my family, the matriarchs of my professional life (@SamJung @robyngreen at @StGermainDrinks, @drinksat6 & @IvyMix at @Speed_Rack and now happily in an entirely women led company at @ArcherRooseWines - I’m 1/2 guys!). The common thread I experienced was the practice of “what’s good for everyone is good for me,” which is why we all flourished.

My personal Barbie Land is in NYC, and specifically the LGBTQ community. It’s a magnificent prism of beauty, love, strength and power, the flowing spirit between the femme, masc and queer energies.
But to my fellow gay and queer men - we’ve been creating safe spaces for ourselves but by doing so leaving the Barbies and Dolls behind - it’s time to tap into our KENERGY to support the lesbians (masters of KENERGY), the femmes, and the real dolls - our trans siblings- so they can lead the charge within the LGBTQ community. We can all work together to make their magic happen. Let’s practice shine theory to shine our light on what they’re saying and doing. Let’s use our funds not just for put our funds and time towards the mutual aid networks and community-based organizations, not just nightlife and parties, strengthening our rainbow connections. Our Barbie Land is better when we center the folks who truly understand community and have the best abilities and ideas to lead, and we can all have fun while we do it.
————
What we can especially do is support the straight men in our lives, our fellow Kens. There are so many guys who are doing things right and need that love and affirmation from other guys. Check in on the new fathers to make sure they’re ok too! Send your dad flowers. Tell your brothers you love them. Share love with your guys too.
Similarly, it’s time to call in the Kens who lost their way from the joy and wonder of Barbie Land and whose heads are being filled with evil from Fox News and the likes of Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson and Elon Musk. People are products of their surroundings, so we can be the voice of reason for them.
They want to be loved, paid attention to and understood about the pain and loneliness they’re dealing with, but unfortunately society doesn’t set men up for success with processing emotions, communication, and pain. Why do you think mansplaining is such a thing - guys are really only taught how to share facts and knowledge. I’m dealing with all of this personally with the biggest Ken in my life, the man who took me to get Barbies during every visit, my own dad.
————
The best part is we no longer need to be afraid of the other guys in our lives. We aren’t in high school anymore and guys actually like us and want in on our fun too. We just have to meet them at their level, dropping the “already annoyed” reactions to their presence and relate to guys as guys, people as people. The sassy mean girl attitudes we mimic with our girlfriends don’t connect well with dudes. We’re great at being sassy sisters, but how good can we bond with our brothers?
Decentering ourselves and our previous anxieties will create a genuine connection. We THRIVE with our girlies’s boyfriends and husbands. We vibe with our male colleagues. We share workout tips with the gym bros who admire our physiques. We especially do it with each other at the late night pool parties in Fire Island.
————
Guys across the spectrum want buddies, but patriarchy isolates us and pits us against each other, making us feel like we are responsible to do EVERYTHING by ourselves. This prevents us from showing love, care and support for each other because we’re trying to be “better than” everyone else. Let’s be buddies and build each other up because standing by in the shadows has led us to the violent, patriarchal, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic world we live in now. Do we really want this? Is our patriarichal power worth this? Our KENERGY will change that.
Bring that man-bonding, the teamwork, the healthy masculinity, the KENERGY and lead by example connecting with other guys to help make Barbie Land a reality, Barbies, Ken’s, and everyone in between #Kenergy
————
Side note: I am not saying not to be yourself, if you’re Alan, be Alan! We love Alan - but just know you are enough and can tap into whichever energies, whichever sides of yourself to authentically interact with others. Be the Ken/Alan/Barbie/Midge/Weird Barbie that you needed as a kid and share that magic with others. We’re experiencing a paradigm shift, and if we keep sitting back in the shadows letting toxic masculinity run rampant, the patriarchs will do everything they can to maintain power and control of society. If we don’t do it with those closest to us, then who will? If not now, when? We gotta be active participants in our experience and make the world into what we know it can be.
————
Ps guys: the movie was PERFECT. Gay/straight and everything in between - we gotta recognize that we are not centered in the movie and that’s the point. Actually pay attention to the messages in the movie about how much more fun Barbie Land is when the Barbie’s lead and we all work together to bring that reality to life. Understand the effects of patriarchy on Barbie Land, the Ken’s, and on Alan. Decenter yourself and your opinion and listen to what women are saying about the movie and furthermore life. Once you’ve actually listened, asked clarifying questions and actually understand her POV, then engage on your thoughts. Because they likely have shifted once you’ve listened. And that’s the goal.

Hello good morning and welcome to chili's- is that even the right reference? Whatever. Anyways, welcome to 'auri can't stop fucking writing about party poison and cherri cola' hours. They have such a fascinating bond ANYWAYS also welcome to a fucking trainwreck that i wrote all this morning.
Title: everybody wants to change the world
Wordcount: 2047
Summary:
Party Poison goes out, gets hurt, and chooses a different place for help than they usually would.
This has literally no plot beyond me making Poison have a bad time.
Warnings: injury, blood, death mentions.
Taglist: @wishiwasthemoon-tonight @sleevesareforlosers @stressed-depressed-emo-mess @tasteofamnesia @dagger-queen​ @no-braincells-here @piratecherricola (message me, send an ask, or reblog/reply to one of my posts if you want to be added or removed)
AO3 Link
(Actual fic under the cut)
Party Poison swore under their breath as they staggered back to the Trans Am, pressing a hand to their side. They were going to fucking bleed out here, outside a Mad Gear concert in Zone 4, all because they were a fucking dumbass and got themself stabbed. Because Poison could never live quietly, they didn't know how. All they knew was picking fights with random 'joys and listening to the music that blared from the speakers, way too loud and easily drowning out their thoughts. Now that was catching up to them, they guessed, as they slid into the car and put their bloody hand on the wheel.
"Home we go, baby."
No. Not home. Kobra had said, Kobra had told them 'don't go out and get hurt again, don't go picking fights, dumbass'. And Poison had gone and done it anyways. Gone and been a fucking idiot, as Kobes would say. So no, they were not going back to the diner yet. Not bleeding this heavily, anyways. The Girl didn't deserve to see this, nor did she deserve to watch them and Kobra fight about it.
That left Poison with the question of where, exactly, they were going to go. There weren't a lot of people in the world they trusted to see them like this, injured and exhausted and close to crying because it all hurt, it always had. In fact, most of those people, four of them, lived in the old diner where they couldn't -wouldn't- go. Most of those people...but not all of them.
Poison turned the Trans Am to a different path, speeding towards a little radio shack in the middle of the desert. If nothing else, they knew Dr. D would be happy to fix them up and send them on their way again, and then they could head back to diner late at night when no one was awake and no one would need to know they had gotten stabbed like a dumbass.
Unluckily for them, it was one in the fucking morning, and Dr. D was soundly asleep when they stumbled into the station. They assumed, at least, given that he was nowhere to be seen and the radio station was quiet. Empty, in fact. Or at least the living room was. Poison stumbled towards the broadcasting room, hearing a low voice from that direction.
Cherri Cola looked up they stumbled in the door, pausing in the middle of reading off a poem. "Poison?"
"Pepsi! I got stabbed." Poison tried to grin at him, the smile turning into a grimace at the pain in their side.
Cherri stared at them for a few moments, then turned back to the broadcast. "Well, WKIL listeners, I'm afraid this where I leave you for tonight, given that we've got a bit of a situation going on, but I should be back for later this night- well, this morning, technically, I'd say we're coming up on one am now. Cherri Cola, signing off." He turned back to Poison with a sigh. "Where did you get stabbed?"
They tried not to be offended at his huff. "Here. Where my hand is."
Cherri stood, gesturing to them to follow him back to the living room area, where he grabbed a first aid kit. "Lay down on the sofa, that much blood means I probably need to stitch you up."
"Great."
"I'm going to peel back your shirt, okay? Only as far as I need to clean and stitch it," Cherri promised.
Poison shrugged, pulling their jacket off before they laid down. "Do what y'have to."
His hands were scarred and calloused, the skin rough, but he was gentle when he pulled the bloody fabric away and started cleaning out the wound. They gasped in pain anyways, gritting their teeth as their side sent flickers of agony running through them.
"Sorry, sorry," Cherri said quietly. "I promise only a bit more to go, I just need to stitch this."
Poison nearly screamed when he started the first stitch, letting out a strangled yelp instead. "How much longer?"
"Three more stitches, then I'm done."
They gritted their teeth again, clenching their fists by their sides as he tied off the next stitch, and the next, and the next.
"Okay, done." Cherri set the needle aside, closing the first aid kit. "You okay?"
Poison would have laughed if they weren't in so much pain. "Of course 'm not fucking okay. Why would I be fucking okay?"
They hated the pity on his face as he gently scooted them over to sit down next to them. "Silly question, I'm sorry. What's wrong?"
Poison could have been dignified, but they chose to lean against him instead as the feelings they had been bottling up came pouring out. "Everything. Everything is wrong because Kobes is always angry and Jet's always sad and Ghoul's scared and Motorbaby shouldn't have to grow up here, shouldn't have to see us fall apart. What's the point? What's the point, Cola? What are we fighting for? Is there even a future ahead of us? What's even the point of life?"
"Honestly?"
"Honestly."
"There isn't a point." Poison gaped at him. "There isn't a point to life, not unless you make one. You have to decide what you want, what's worth fighting for."
The words fell softly into the quiet of the radio station, shattered by Poison's harsh voice. "And how the fuck am I supposed t' do that?"
"It's hard to describe, but..." Cherri trailed off. "Find what means something to you. What you love. For me that's poetry, and Newsie, and D and Pone and you and your crew, and the stars. Also, Mad Gear, they're vastly superior to Benny and the Trampolines."
Poison managed a small laugh. "True that. But what is the point, to you?"
“Well, in the simplest form...the point of life is happiness.”
“I thought the point of my life was to change the world,” they muttered bitterly. Maybe it made them an asshole, maybe the other was trying to help, but it was their fucking job to change things and they were tired of it.
Cherri’s voice was heartbreakingly gentle. “It doesn’t matter how big of a difference you made to the world. All that matters is that you made a different to you.”
Poison found that their eyes were stinging, tears collecting in them. “Are you sure?” Their voice sounded small and pathetic, and they hated it.
“I’m sure. You deserve happiness, more than anything else. It should never be your job to save the world, not so young. Never.”
They tried to speak again, but all that came out was a shuddering, gasping sob. Some small part of them was embarrassed, mortified to be crying in front of Cherri Cola, of all people, but the bigger part of their mind couldn’t bring themself to care. Not when their heart ached more than the wound in their side, not when Cherri was holding his arms out silently, clearly an offer.
Maybe it made them weak, but Poison took the comfort, letting themself be encased safely in the older killjoy’s arms. “I don’t want to die, Cola.” They hated how their voice shook. “I don’t want to die.”
“I know. I know.”
“I want to save everyone, I want to make a difference.” They let out another sob. “But I don’t want to die.”
“Your life should never be the price,” Cherri murmured.
“But it is. But it is! I have to- I’m going to die ch- changing the world. I’m supposed to- to save everyone, even if I have to d-die to do it.”
Poison thought they heard his usually unshakable voice waver a little. “No, Poison, no. This never should have been your job."
"Well who- who was g- going to do it?"
They couldn't see his face, but his voice was very quiet. "It was supposed to be D and I, years and years ago. Me, and D, and Lily. It shouldn't have even been Newsie and Chimp, shouldn't have been Pony, definitely shouldn't have been you. I'm sorry, Poison."
"'s okay." They found themself curling up further, head leaning on his shoulder. "Who's Lily?"
"White Lily, leader of the first rebellion, said to be one of the first of the killjoys," Cherri murmured. "Giver of plastic flower hairclips, the only person who was allowed to call Newsie 'News', and one of my three siblings. In a way."
"Oh." Another sob made its way out of their throat, but this mysterious 'Lily' was a good distraction. "Tell me about her?"
"Well, the day I met her, she was twenty-one and she asked me 'Did this softy offer you a place to stay?'..." Cherri launched into a quiet story about two kind killjoys who offered a desperate sixteen-year-old the first real home he had ever known. His voice was low, soothing, and Poison let themself relax a little bit as they listened to the story.
"D' you have any more stories about 'your day'?"
"I think I have some poems about it, actually," Cherri replied dryly. "Stories, yes, but also poems, which are easier."
"Not easier to understand," Poison muttered, but they let him half carry them back into the broadcast room and proceeded to drape themself over his lap when he started up again.
"Hello there, my late-night crash queen friends, it's me, Cherri Cola, back again. At the request of my companion, the next few poems of the corner will be about the olden days, back before you rock and rollers were out on the road." He started on a poem which Poison thought must have been about Dr. D, plenty of metaphors about the voice of the desert. After that one and one more was finished, he switched on some music and turned back to them.
"When is your crew expecting you home?"
"Don't know. Concert was over at midnight, but they know I sometimes stay out later. For all I know, they all went to bed."
"I'm going to radio the diner, if that's okay?"
"Don't want them t' know I got hurt." Their words were mashed up more from sleepiness than blood loss by now.
"I'll say you got lost." Cherri's tone was joking, but his voice grew serious again as he went on. "Or I'll just say you're staying here tonight, you don't owe them an explanation of why. You do owe it to them to make sure they aren't worried for you, though."
"Okay." They felt rather schooled, staring down at the perpetually dirty floor of the radio station as Cherri fiddled with the radio.
Eventually, Fun Ghoul picked up, sounding sleepy. "Hello?"
"Hey, Ghoul."
"What is it, Cola? You got word of Party?"
"They decided to drop by after the concert, so we're hanging out tonight. They'll be okay, just too tired to drive the Am safely. I'll send them back tomorrow morning by the time you need the Trans Am for anything, but please tell the others not to worry."
"Gotcha. Motorbaby got sleepy, took Jet and Kobra to get her to sleep 'cause Pois is out, then they conked out. I told them to. But if they wake up, I'll tell them, and I won't worry toooo much. Tell Pois I said hi!"
Poison was incredibly thankful Ghoul had picked up instead of one of the other two, since xe wasn't the sort to ask many questions. Kobra would have been suspicious, and Jet would have been pretty decent about it but concerned. And Poison didn't need those two's concern right now.
"Right, well, sleep well, Ghoul. Pois says hi," Cherri said. That was technically a lie, since Poison hadn't said anything, but they didn't really mind. Ghoul deserved some reassurance, even if it was false.
Cherri clicked the radio off. "Right, my stabbed friend. I've got some more broadcasting to do, but you're welcome to stay."
"You're an insufferable bastard," Poison yawned.
"Yes, I am. Sleep well, Sleepy Poison."
Poison had absolutely not intended in any way, shape, or form to fall asleep on Cherri's lap, but they found themself yawning again as he started on another poem. And before they or he had a chance to say goodnight, they were out like a light.

Recently argued with a TERF (reblogs are on this blog) and I didn’t quite articulate an argument correctly so here goes.
She claims to have dated a trans person before (lol it was the ‘I have a black friend’ excuse). If this is true it’s worth noting that the overall vibe of that relationship could put her at an emotional bias against trans people. Make no mistake: TERFs are just factually incorrect. They fall for the same shit that Anti-Vaxxers, Qanon-ers, Alt Right-ers (in particular the ‘race realists’), climate denialists, etc. all for for. All of these ideologies have a central component in common: distrust of scientific fact.
They don’t all arrive here the same way. Qanon and race realists prey on right leaning people who may have some misconception or another. Race realists may try to convince people that black people are genetically more violent because of recent riots (the riots, which accounted for roughly 7% of all BLM protests where the other 93% were peaceful, were often instigated by police and/or fringe right wing groups trying to harm the messages of the protests). They can then try to convince a person that the media is lying, and these days people don’t trust the media that much anyway so maybe the person bites. Next they’ll say the scientists are lying and they’ll cherry pick a discredited, out of context, or misinterpreted study or article that doesn’t align with the tens of thousands of contradictory peer-reviewed studies that disprove their position or belief.
Eventually the person drinks the Flavor-Aid and thinks that black people are genetically inferior. Anti-Vaxxer’s play to similar right leaning, vauguely anti-establishment people and do the same shit. They’ll take a disgraced and discredited doctor (you know the one dude I forgot the motherfucker’s name) whom they claim was “silenced” or something and suggest at a bullshit conspiracy. It’s like clockwork.
Climate Denialists do the same and cherry pick articles (which often end up having ties to oil and coal industry, it’s a well documented disinformation effort) that contradict MOUNTAINS of evidence with little to no substantial basis.
Qanon targets the right leaning people just like the race realists and convinces them the democrats are a satanic child sex trafficking ring because reasons.
They all target reactionary people who don’t sit down to check the logical basis for arguments and are more prone to emotionally charged logical fallacies.
In the case of TERFs, it’s similar. They target kinda reactionary women who are uninformed and have emotional biases against trans people. The TERF I spoke to said she knew trans people and dated one. If she had a bad breakup or a bad relationship with her trans sibling, she’d be more emotionally predisposed to a logical fallacy. In her case, it was probably the anchoring fallacy, where she heard the TERF arguments first and then went out of her way to defend them without truly addressing the evidence. TERFs often become so fucking vitriolic in their hate that they use dogwhistles to hide their true intentions from normies. Sound familiar?
Now I don’t wanna come off as some kind of facts and logic type douchebag a la Ben Shapiro, it’s just that for someone to take an informed position they need to first contexualize evidence in a reasonable manner. Tell me, what reason does the scienctific community have for siding with one of the most marginalized groups of people in the world? What reason is there for such a conspiracy? Is Bill Gates funding some kind of disinformation effort and the people who wrote the DSM are in bed with him? Fuck off with this shit dude.
In short, anti-establishment+anti-intellectual=conspiracy cult. It’s an equation all too often demonstrated in our modern political climate.
To ask one more question of the TERF I spoke with, I ask why, if you care about people with dysphoria (I doubt it and I think that was a mask but I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt), why is it that you do everything you can to invalidate the people who have gone through or are currently going through the most effective treatment for dysphoria, transitioning? Why do you spew so much bigotry and bullshit about how we’re all narcissistic and dirty and gross and are just fetishists who want to prey on women, etc. ? You can’t say you support victims of sexual violence and then mock victims of sexual violence for showing symptoms of trauma.
You can’t substantiate these claims because they’re all from a biased, intentionally negative interpretation of trans people taking care of other trans people. Are you really so nasty of a person that you really think us telling each other positive things about our appearances or saying nice things about ourselves in public to show our pride and ease our minds is fucking narcissistic? We get it, dumbass, some of us don’t look like cis men/women, guess what you fucking dolt, we know. We think about it every day and probably every time we look in a mirror.
Whether it’s incongruence or dysphoria, we notice. Gender and sex aren’t the same thing, and while there’s often a correlation, it’s still not causative. I get it, nothing will change the fact that I was born with a male body, but I don’t care. I’ve accepted that because my biological sex isn’t in my control but my gender is. We’re not denying that fact. We all know this. It’s fucking obvious. It’s just that we don’t care. We’re still going to be happier when we go by different names and pronouns and present in a more feminine/masculine way. What could you possibly gain from telling us off for living our best lives when it IN NO WAY HARMS YOU? Your own sick pleasure from bullying others?
Honestly I hope the person i spoke to gets some fucking help, because she seriously needs it. Her emotional maturity (or lack thereof) gave me second hand embarrassment and she needs to fundamentally reasses herself as a person. Hell, who knows, maybe it’s internalized transphobia. Anyone who doesn’t have her blocked can check my blog to find hers, and send this post to her. Send it to any terf if you wanna, more people to block for me.
Stay well folks, maybe be a little better to each other. Later.

About Muses!;
(There will be some headcanon’s involved!)
Pit
Pit is a flightless angel that lives in Skyworld, or Heaven as many people call it. He is the son of Lady Palutena, whom is the Goddess of Light. Pit is the Captain of Palutena’s Army, not only because he is her son, but he earnedit by crawling out of hell to save her when he was only five years old.
Pit’s personality is very positive and cheerful, he is also very sympathetic when it comes to friends and family, even strong connections to humans/mortals. However, Pit hates to talk about how he is flightless and being called worthless, this hurts him more then anything in the world. The angel tries his hardest to make everyone happy and wants people to know he is really friendly, he is also very determined when it comes to his missions/objectives.
Pit enjoys food and hot springs. Can’t get enough of it.
Dark Pit
Dark Pit is like the opposite of his twin, Pit. He acts aggressive, always snarky, and doesn’t appreciate people being disrespectful towards him. Unlike his brother, he tends to be more of a ‘range’ fighter, using sniper rifle staffs to his advantage. He also goes by Pittoo but he hates it when he gets called that. Dark Pit is also very caring towards his twin, sure, he act aggressive towards him, but that’s just sibling love.
Unlike Pit, he can actually read. And cuss, a lot.
(Slight Headcanon; He can also fly all by himself.)
Palutena
Palutena is the Goddess of Light. She is the mother of Pit and Dark Pit. She owns an army of angels and centurions that can rip through monsters and other armies. Not to mention, she is quite powerful. Her staff is able to help her use magical powers that aid her and her army in battle. She holds responsible for humanity and peace. Justice is what she strives for. Her personality is a little unexpected! She is cheerful but she can be serious when she needs to be. She does crack plenty of jokes and teases her sons over it. However, she loves her two children both dearly and wouldn’t ever let any harm get in their way. Unless they are battling, then there’s bound to be harm done. But she will heal them. Promise.

Tell us about your DA characters!!!!
aa thank you! I’ll put it under a read more so it doesn’t take up too much space, and fair warning...it’s pretty long. 
Tldr i have Feynhel and Pirras Lavellan, Selanz Adaar, Luelle and Hayden deLoriot- Camriel, and Tenar Brosca. I dont have any canon hawkes yet bc i haven’t gotten to play da2 and i wanna wait till i can to do that asdfas
Tumblr media
First there’s Feynhel Lavellan, my most developed da character; he went through a backstory overhaul within the last year or two! When Inquisition starts he’s around 27, and he’d show up at Haven to be a companion pretty soon after the start of the game. He’s a gay trans man, and usually he ends up with either Pirras or Dorian(though if he were an actual companion he’d be open to romance by any male inquisitor). that’s a whole other subject entirely though that should probably be a post of it own lmao
    He was born in Orlais and left his family there to go join his father’s Dalish clan (Lavellan) when he was around 12. It was a fresh start he dearly needed considering his history with his mother. He’s a mage but had no interest in being First despite being very gifted with his magic, instead he was content to learn the basics and try to help out around the clan where needed. He apprenticed under the Clan’s craftmaster (Pirras’s father) and helped out the Hunters on occasion. Feyn’s father Thelras is a hunter and his stepmom, Shi’thra is a scout. He also has a younger brother named Cyrris, who’s now about 14 when Inquisition starts. 
    A big defining moment for him was when he was around 14/15 and had a close call with some Templars who wandered too close to where he was gathering craft supplies. He survived the encounter just barely, but since one of the Templars managed to retreat it made him paranoid of the possibility of being tracked. It’s part of the reason why he agreed to study under the Traveling Keeper who came to his clan looking for an apprentice some years later. He left for that when he was around 18/19 and has been away from his clan for most of the time after that, save for when he checks up with them in accordance to his duties. 
He takes his duties very seriously and has explored quite a few ruins in search of knowledge. He’s friendly with many and has quite a number of friends in the clans he’s visited across Thedas, as well as contacts outside of the clans. He loves to tell stories about the places he has visited and things he’s seen. He also will tend to hide the fact the he’s a mage(and by extension a Keeper) from most people until necessary, and he prefers to use a long sword or a dagger in most combat situations. He uses it as a focus for his magic and claims he simply had the blade enchanted. Overall he has a fairly diplomatic stance about many things, but he has strong morals and is very vocal about them if confronted with situations that challenge them. He’s generally a very warm and pleasant person to be around, although he’s tired pretty much all the time because he just refuses to sleep until he absolutely has to. I love him very much...
Tumblr media
After him there’s my current/consequential Inquisitor, Pirras Lavellan. He has a lot less development but I have added a lot to him recently. When Inquisition starts he’s about 29, a couple years older than Feyn. He’s very bi, and very into Iron Bull if he and Feyn don’t get together. He’s Inquisitor only because he went to the conclave with Feyn and a small party of other Dalish scouts, but got too impatient and went ahead before everyone else. 
Pirras’ whole arc is about him growing out of his previously childish and arrogant behavior. It takes him until the end of Inquisition though and its pretty back and forth. He has a natural feel for magic and out of other apprentices he was pretty much a shoe-in for First. Family-wise, it’s been just him and his father Tala’ren since he was young, since his older brother(a mage) and mother were lost to Templars when returning from visiting another clan. After that he was fairly withdrawn even when his magic manifested. It wasn’t until Feyn showed up and tried to befriend him that he really opened up and became more outgoing. Pirras was constantly(and still does) treat everything like a competition and feels the need to try to impress everyone, especially Feyn. (despite Feyn telling him numerous times he doesn’t need to) 
Shortly before Feyn left and Pirras became First, he went into the forest to try and prove how ready he was and promptly got his ass handed to him by a bear that had been giving the clan’s hunters trouble. He barely made it by virtue of Feyn and another hunter showing up, only because Feyn and Tala’ren had an idea he might do something foolish. Up till and even after then he was fairly sheltered about life outside the clan, never having ventured to speak to humans when the clan traded largely due to his own strong dislike of them.
The events of Inquisition were a pretty big shock to him and he grows a lot and learns much more about responsibility than he did in the clan. Though he’s certainly eager to return to the clan after Corypheus is defeated. Pirras and Feyn have a..complicated on and off relationship that really needs more space than this to talk abt lol. 
Tumblr media
Aside from those two we have my other Inquisitor, Selanz Adaar, who I haven’t really worked on in a long time. She’s 25 at the start of Inquisition, and fresh off her parent’s farm in Ferelden, only having done mercenary work for a couple of years when she heads to the conclave. 
She’s a dual-wield rogue, and one of her moms is a former Saarebas. Selanz is smart and cheerful and always ready for more action. She becomes fast friends with Sera, and most of the other companions(Sera and Selanz end up getting married in Trespasser and she later joins the Red Jennies.) She’s really intrigued by history and lore, and spends a lot of time in either the library going through all the books, or the garden checking on the various herbs growing since she knows her way around plants. As i said she isn’t nearly as developed as some others, but i should do another playthrough with her and fix that,,,
Tumblr media
After that there’s Luelle and Hayden du Loriot-Camriel. Luelle is in their mid/late thirties, nonbinary(genderfluid they/she) and pan. Hayden is 25/26, a trans man and is bi.They’re both mages, Luelle trained as a Knight Enchanter and Hayden is a Spirit Healer.I’m toying with the idea of Luelle becoming my new HOF so their story is likely to change.
Luelle and Hayden are half-siblings, sharing the same human father of a minor noble house, while Hayden’s mother is actually a mistress. Though since both Luelle and Hayden’s mothers were quite close Hayden and his mother were allowed to live on the estate. Luelle was very protective of Hayden growing up, and still is currently, and Hayden feels the same way. 
Luelle’s magic manifested when she was around 14 and at a very bad time. Her elder sibling and Heir to the house had a number of bad habits, one of which included being particularly shitty to Luelle, a number of the servants, and even their parents. It was really a long time coming, but after a particular instance Luelle’s anger bubbled up and the magic just manifesting reacted to it in an explosive manner. Quite literally. The fiery explosion was so intense that it killed their sibling and burned her arm so badly it needed to be amputated. Their parents notified the Templars and after medical treatment they took Luelle to Ostwick before being transferred to the Ferelden circle(this is where it would branch to becoming HOF). At the circle she learned to control her magic very quickly under the constant watch of the Templars because she had already proven she could be dangerous. However, they were a quick learner and by the time the the events of Origins rolled around they were going to begin studying under a Knight Enchanter. In the event Luelle isn’t the HOF, they go through with their Knight Enchanter training but disappear
Meanwhile, since Luelle was a mage Hayden was left as the only heir. He didn’t want to be the heir but he took it in stride and was pretty spoiled, though he turned out very kind. He was upset with his father for sending Luelle so far away and not even telling him where,though he never actually brought it up and didn’t fully understand why it was such a bad thing that she was a mage. In secret, between his studies in the library he had actually been obtaining and reading books on magic. His magic manifested in a much more subtle way than Luelle’s did, he awoke one night to find his sheets had frozen where he was gripping them after a dream. He was able to keep his abilities a secret for a few months as he tried to learn more about controlling them from his books. His father found out on accident one day during dinner, where their mabari spooked him and he froze his glass. 
In contrast to Luelle’s situation, their parents were now desperate to keep some sort of heir. Instead of informing the Templars, Hayden’s father sought to hire an apostate tutor in secret, despite Hayden’s own desire to learn in a Circle(with the goal of finding out which circle Luelle had been sent to). Before his father could find an apostate to hire, Hayden simply packed up and left in the middle of the night to find Templars to take him to a circle. He was around 12, and like Luelle he learned very quickly and had a strong desire to become a healer. He became a capable spirit healer about 3-4 years before Inquisition starts, and if he joins the Inquisition as a healer after being contacted near the Crossroads in Ferelden while accompanying a group of mages and tranquil in aiding refugees from the fighting.
Tumblr media
Then theres my main Hero of Ferelden, Tenar Brosca. He’s a two-handed warrior and Berserker specialization. He’s trans and bi bc i say so, and romanced either Zevran or Alistair.(i did playthrough for each and couldn’t,,,decide which i liked more) He is sort of morally questionable with a dark sense of humor(him and Morrigan get along rlly well), but from exposure to his companions he’s grown a bit and is trying to be a better person. He doesn’t have nearly as much to his backstory bc i haven’t really messed w him in a while, but he goes along with the dark ritual with Morrigan, and does some adventuring with Zevran before he eventually plans to help the Wardens rebuild.
There’s also a few other characters i have but for the main ones thats it sldakfj

Asteroid Mors-Somnus 341520
Helios– Fair warning, these guys are not going to be for everyone. Some of the ideas I present may be shocking to you, and you probably won’t realize why. That is all right, and totally normal. That being said, lets get into the fascinating binary of Mors-Somnus
The Astronomy– 341520 Mors–Somnus is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) that resides in the Kuiper belt and was discovered on October 14, 2007. It is classified as a plutino, which means that it is in the 3:2 mean motion resonance with Neptune. Mors–Somnuswas named on June 2, 2015 after the mythological Roman gods of death (Mors) and sleep (Somnus). Mors–Somnus is a small double plutino occupying the 3:2 mean motion resonance with Neptune. The object is a wide optically resolved binary with the following orbital parameters.
The Mythology– Okay, lets take them at each of their parts.
Mors: In ancient Roman myth and literature, Mors is the personification of death equivalent to the Greek Thánatos. The Latin noun for “death”, mors, genitive mortis, is of feminine gender, but ancient Roman art is not known to depict Death as a woman. Latin poets, however, are bound by the grammatical gender of the word. Horace writes of pallida Mors, “pale Death,” who kicks her way into the hovels of the poor and the towers of kings equally. Seneca, for whom Mors is also pale, describes her “eager teeth.” Tibullus pictures Mors as black or dark.Mors is often represented allegorically in later Western literature and art, particularly during the Middle Ages. Depictions of the Crucifixion of Christ sometimes show Mors standing at the foot of the cross. Mors’ antithesis is personified as Vita, aka Life. Mors is the offspring of Nox (Night), and sibling to the personification of sleep, Somnus. Mors is often connected to Mars, the Roman god of war; Pluto, the god of the underworld; and Orcus, god of death and punisher of perjurers. In one story, Hercules fought Mors in order to save his friend’s wife. In other stories, Mors is shown as a servant to Pluto, ending the life of a person after the thread of their life has been cut by the Parcae, and of Mercury, messenger to the gods, escorting the dead person`s soul, or shade, down to the underworld’s gate.
Hypnos: In Greek mythology, Hypnos is the personification of sleep; the Roman equivalent is known as Somnus. Hypnos is the son of Nyx and Erebus. His brother is Thanatos, and both siblings live in Hades or in Erebus, another valley of the Greek underworld. According to rumors, Hypnos lives in a big cave, which the river Lethe (“Forgetfulness”) comes from and where night and day meet. His bed is made of ebony, on the entrance of the cave grow a number of poppies and other hypnotic plants. No light and no sound would ever enter his grotto. According to Homer, he lives on the island Lemnos, which later on has been claimed to be his very own dream-island. His children Morpheus (“Shape”), Phobetor (“Fear”) and Phantasos (“Imagination, Phantasy”) are the gods of the dream. It is claimed that he has many more children, which are also Oneiroi. He is said to be a calm and gentle god, as he helps humans in need and, due to their sleep, owns half of their lives. His wife, Pasithea VII, was one of the youngest of the Graces and was promised to him by Hera, who is the goddess of marriage and birth. Pasithea is the deity of hallucination or relaxation.
Why They Matter– Yes, I know- Another death god! Blame the IAU, the people who decided that Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore; They make these rules. Anyway, these guys fascinate me. Drawing on the myths you would get one idea of them- a harsh and cruel death god, like Orcus, but that isn’t quite the case. They seem to be one of the gentlest TNOs there are, even more than 1992 QB1!
What if all of our fears about Death were wrong? What if instead of the end, it was a sublime experience without end? What if it didn’t have to be scary? Mors-Somnus represents this- the peaceful death, slipping away from this life in bed, surrounded by loved ones. No pain, no struggle, just… a good death. Harry Potter fans would relate to them being the idea of meeting Death as an old friend, at the end of a long, long journey. They are an equalizer, as Death comes to us all. Mors-Somnus is also the concept of not having to fear or fight death, just accepting it as the meaning of life. They call to us, not with a shout or demand, but rather as the friend who comes up to you and takes your hand. Of course, they have the hypnotic and mesmeric side of Hypnos, so it could all just be an act- a clever ruse to hide a monster beneath, but I don’t think that is the case. They specifically rule death experiences you experience while still alive, like LSD or Ayahuasca trips; Ethenogens are a perfect way to connect to these guys.
The reality is that for a certain part of our population, life is constant agony. For those people, life is a burden, and in such a case Death would be a gift. The tragically sick who would rather not suffer, Mors-Somnus aids, without judgement or prejudice. In fact, no matter who you are, what you did or how you died, Mors-Somnus greets you in Death lovingly.  Mors-Somnus also represents the mystery of the veil between worlds, only atoms thin yet completely impenetrable. They also represent a point of great surrender and trust in an unkowable power; with all our works and all of our faiths, Death is still the one mystery that we will never truly unravel. For that, it will always hold a certain mystique and power, making our too-short lives all the more precious. There was a popular comic strip that went around, saying that “Life and Death have been in love for longer than we have words to describe. Life sends countless gifts to Death, and Death keeps them forever“. How beautiful an existence where love is at the heart of all things, but most importantly we find the greatest love at the end of our journey! With Mors-Somnus, we are born into cold and fear, but die to Love.
To find out where they show up in your chart, go to astro.com, put in your birth details and in the extended options, all the way at the bottom of the next page, there will be a menu of additional objects. Under that is a blank space where you can enter the number 341520, for Mors-Somnus. Once you have it entered, generate the chart!

1/2) Its a super great idea to have a trans women in power! Heck just a canon trans woman in game all together! But also, please think about what she would have to go through if the Junker Queen was trans. And please don't use us trans people as some object to aid your social justice just to piss people off. My main thing about her being trans is, she lives in a post-apocalyptic setting that seems to be cut off from the rest of the country. How would she get her surgeries? Or even her hormones?
2/2) a queen so chances are she has to be ready at any moment to jump into action. And if she is in recovery she can't do that. While the junkers seem to be able to build new limbs from scrap its different from surgery on your chest, genitals (that has more risk) or even the face in some cases. So please really think about this and don't use trans people as some leverage to piss off gamers because your doing more harm to us then good. Headcanon the character to be trans because you feel it fits3/2)it fits their character, and because you want to normalize trans people. (it was longer then I thought sorry)
Hello there kind Anon!
Firstly, the idea of pissing people off is a secondary want to having a Trans* character. (Mostly, because I am aware that I am a petty and vindictive little shit who loves to see people throw tantrums because ‘HOW DARE YOU REMIND US THAT DIVERSITY EXISTS!!!!!!!!!!!’), but I do see your point. I apologise if that was how I came across. As someone who falls under the Trans* Banner, obviously the very existence of Trans* people comes far before any of the other stuff.
In regards to surgery/hormones, I did have thoughts on this. But a lot of those thoughts revolve around future science (and I am no scientist!) so please, bare with me and if you catch anything that is scientifically wonky, please do come and let me know!
1. Surgeries!Now, I’m probably wrong (because I’m also bad with timelines!) but it’s been more than a few years since Junkertown was set up and became isolated, correct? So it would be entirely plausible that any surgeries the Queen would have needed, could have been obtained before the radiation. That is a logical explanation, I feel.2. Hormones!Now this one is a little trickier. However, there was mention of the Queens ‘treasure’. Why should we believe that the treasure was the gold she’s hoarded? After all, wouldn’t that be a wonderful diversion for anyone who wishes to try and cause her harm? For them to think that the gold is what she cares about, when really she has a stockpile of hormones that she keeps ready for herself? (Especially given how many people want her to be a healer (an assessment I very much agree with!) so it wouldn’t be too big of a stretch to believe that she had been secreting these hormones away from work at the time and storing them.)There is also the thing on Junkers being very technologically minded. Both Roadhog and Junkrat made their own weaponry, it doesn’t feel too much of a stretch to imagine that the Queen did much the same. Combine that with any HC you have about her being a medic, a doctor, a nurse, even an orderly, and you have the skill to synthetically create hormones. Perhaps not as good as the stuff you may get in a hospital, but good enough to allow someone to keep their figure/voice/anything else that may have changed with Hormones.OR! Hormone Theory no.2!Gender Science has taken massive leaps forward, in the future. Now, you only need one injection of hormones every five years as they’ve created one that is able to replicate itself inside your very own glands (again, please note, science is iffy as I am very firmly NOT a scientist!) Junkrat and Roadhog were able to Travel the world, it doesn’t take much imagining that someone as downright AWESOME (and powerful, and kickass) as the Junker Queen could manage to slip out of her own city for a short while once every few years to commandeer herself a booster shot. (Or again, see above, her own stockpile. When you only need one every 5 years, a stockpile of 10-20 doses will last you a lifetime, especially with radiation issues floating around!)
Surgical Recovery times wouldn’t be much of an issue if, again, she obtained her surgeries pre-fallout. (which given that she does look to be older than Junkrat, is not too big of a stretch since he was 15 at the time of fallout, so she certainly would have been old enough to get surgeries without parental permission (should she not have had permissive parents).)
Whenever I HC a character as Trans* (No matter where they may fall under the Trans* banner), I always do so for Rep first. I know my posts may not make it seem that way (because most of the time I write them while angry. A terrible habit and one I’m wholly aware that I should work on. Believe me, I know it’s a fault.) and yes, the thought of whiny people getting upset at diversity does bring me rather great joy. But as I’ve said above, that is a secondary joy to the joy of seeing a Trans* character come to life (though in the Queen’s case, I feel I would prefer for her to figuratively come to life rather than literally...) and knowing that my siblings of all genders have some form of representation, ESPECIALLY in a fandom as big and publicly known as Overwatch.
(And don’t worry about sending me long messages, I will always read and providing that you don’t catch me on a massive down-swing or when I’m out of spoons, I will always reply!)

Welcome to camp, ALEX !! Please send in your blog within 24 hours, check out the triggers and tags here, && be sure to follow everyone on the blogroll !!
++Who’s that running into Camp Half-Blood? Oh, it’s the [OC] demigod [ALEXANDER “ALEX” HAYES]! He really looks like [CAMERON BOYCE]. Rumour is this [EIGHTEEN] year old [CLAIMED] [CHILD] of [ASCLEPIUS] is very [IMPATIENT AND DISORGANISED], but at least he’s also [INTELLIGENT AND CARING]. Hopefully the monsters won’t get him. {Rowan, 19, they/he, CEST}
{ RARE ABILITY APPROVED: HEALING 1 / 3 }
Three headcanons about your character:
- He is kind of jealous of campers in cabins with a lot if siblings, he is an only child and currently the only claimed child of Asclepius and at times it gets really lonely. That feeling does fade immediately when he sees one camper chasing another for touching or moving their stuff in an overly crowded cabin.
- He is very open about being trans, hell, in a world where monsters are real and see you as a tasty snack, Gods are real and sometimes turn into animals, there’s flying kids and a centaur trusts underage people with lethal weapons, being a non-binary dude isn’t all together that odd or complicated. He also finds it fitting that he’s both a demigod and a demiboy, double demi, if you will. He has been on testosterone for a little over a year and makes his own binders with the help of some Aphrodite campers.
- His normal demeanour is very upbeat and happy and much more a follower than a leader but when it comes to situations in which he’s needed for his ability as a healer that completely changes, he becomes serious and to the point, giving orders to others to make sure the best aid is provided, it can come across a bit harsh at times when he’s completely focused on the task at hand. After the situation is over he usually feels weird about having taken the lead the way he did, seeking out the people he barked orders at to apologise for doing so.
List any clubs they’d like to join: -
List any rare abilities, if any, you would like them to have: vitakinesis, the ability to heal others on his own, without needing a hymn

TNO Watch: Mors-Somnus
Helios– Fair warning, these guys are not going to be for everyone. Some of the ideas I present may be shocking to you, and you probably won’t realize why. That is all right, and totally normal. That being said, lets get into the fascinating binary of Mors-Somnus
The Astronomy– 341520 Mors–Somnus is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) that resides in the Kuiper belt and was discovered on October 14, 2007. It is classified as a plutino, which means that it is in the 3:2 mean motion resonance with Neptune. Mors–Somnus was named on June 2, 2015 after the mythological Roman gods of death (Mors) and sleep (Somnus). Mors–Somnus is a small double plutino occupying the 3:2 mean motion resonance with Neptune.

His wife, Pasithea VII, was one of the youngest of the Graces and was promised to him by Hera, who is the goddess of marriage and birth. Pasithea is the deity of hallucination or relaxation.
Why They Matter– Yes, I know- Another death god! Blame the IAU, the people who decided that Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore; They make these rules. Anyway, these guys fascinate me. Drawing on the myths you would get one idea of them- a harsh and cruel death god, like Orcus, but that isn’t quite the case. They seem to be one of the gentlest TNOs there are, even more than 1992 QB1!
What if all of our fears about Death were wrong? What if instead of the end, it was a sublime experience without end? What if it didn’t have to be scary? Mors-Somnus represents this- the peaceful death, slipping away from this life in bed, surrounded by loved ones. No pain, no struggle, just… a good death. Harry Potter fans would relate to them being the idea of meeting Death as an old friend, at the end of a long, long journey. They are an equalizer, as Death comes to us all. Mors-Somnus is also the concept of not having to fear or fight death, just accepting it as the meaning of life. They call to us, not with a shout or demand, but rather as the friend who comes up to you and takes your hand. Of course, they have the hypnotic and mesmeric side of Hypnos, so it could all just be an act- a clever ruse to hide a monster beneath, but I don’t think that is the case. They specifically rule death experiences you experience while still alive, like LSD or Ayahuasca trips; Ethenogens are a perfect way to connect to these guys.
The reality is that for a certain part of our population, life is constant agony. For those people, life is a burden, and in such a case Death would be a gift. The tragically sick who would rather not suffer, Mors-Somnus aids, without judgement or prejudice. In fact, no matter who you are, what you did or how you died, Mors-Somnus greets you in Death lovingly.  Mors-Somnus also represents the mystery of the veil between worlds, only atoms thin yet completely impenetrable. They also represent a point of great surrender and trust in an unkowable power; with all our works and all of our faiths, Death is still the one mystery that we will never truly unravel. For that, it will always hold a certain mystique and power, making our too-short lives all the more precious. There was a popular comic strip that went around, saying that “Life and Death have been in love for longer than we have words to describe. Life sends countless gifts to Death, and Death keeps them forever“. How beautiful an existence where love is at the heart of all things, but most importantly we find the greatest love at the end of our journey! With Mors-Somnus, we are born into cold and fear, but die to Love.
