Not to request something from my own list but if you’re interested: maybe the dialogue prompt “You don’t need to fit into anyone else’s ideas or expectations. You’re you and that’s perfect.” With Huxley :)
Transmasc Huxley x Transmasc Reader
CW: Discussions of gender dysphoria, body image issues and anxiety, mentions of gender-affirming procedures
You open the door for Huxley, who greets you with a grin.
“Hey, buddy.”
“Hi, Hux,” you say with a matching smile. “Can we hug?”
“Hell yeah! Bring it in.” He hugs you, warm and tight and perfect. “I love your hugs,” he sighs. “You ready to head out?”
“Almost. I just need to check my outfit one more time?” He sobers a little.
“Of course, man. Do what you need to do.”
“Thanks.” He follows at a distance as you shuffle into your room, adjusting your clothes and hair in the mirror. You’d felt good about everything earlier, but now it’s time to leave, you’re uncertain. You pull your shirt down, fidget with the waist line, try to look like you’re just checking your outfit and not your entire body. Do you need a haircut? Do your shoulders look wide enough? Hips too wide? You smooth your hand over your chest fretfully, thoughts becoming dark and frayed--
“Hey.” Huxley’s gentle voice cuts through the static, and you feel like you can breathe again. “I can see you freaking out. Do you wanna talk about it?”
You shrug helplessly. “It’s the same old stuff. Worried I look too femme. Worried someone’s gonna know and maybe try to start something over it.”
Huxley approaches slowly, raises a hand carefully so you see him coming. “Can I touch you?” You nod, and he presses one of his big hands to your cheek, effectively holding your whole jaw. “Listen to me, okay? You don’t need to fit into anyone’s ideas or expectations. You’re you and that’s perfect.” He kisses your nose, smiling when you laugh. “You look amazing. And nobody’s gonna start anything while I’m with you.”
You press close to him, feeling his strong body, thinking of the times he’s been shirtless with you and let you touch him; let you feel his muscles, trace his scars, including the neat ones from top surgery; remember how he told you that his body and strength are for you.
Your ears are hot, tears pricking at your eyes when you kiss him.
“I love you,” you say against his lips.
“I love you, too, babe. We don’t have to go out, you know? We can just hang here if you want.”
You smile, already feeling much better. “No, I wanna go out. I don’t always get the chance to show off a cute outfit and a cute boyfriend.” He ducks his head, bashful but pleased. “But maybe we can make it a short outing. Come home early and cuddle, maybe?”
“Fuck yeah.”

Dear transmascs,
I love y'all, I appreciate your posts and find solidarity in your struggles. But please, PLEASE could you acknowledge that some (many) trans people who don't identify as transmasc share in the same struggles? Please could you acknowledge non-transmasc (afab) non-binary/genderqueer people in your posts that also affect them once in a while? Could you please NOT co-opt the death of a NON-BINARY trans person to talk about how transmascs are oppressed for being transmasculine? Like, yes, there are overlaps between transandrophobia and enbyphobia (and transmisogyny) and these are important to talk about but please realise that you can do this WITHOUT erasing non-binary people who do not identify as transmasc.
Idk maybe this seems like a non-issue to a lot of people but it's honestly deeply fucking upsetting to me, as an (afab) genderqueer person. I'm not saying you have to make all posts about transmasc people about non-binary people as well but please just. When something is ABOUT a non-binary person and that person doesn't explicitly identify as transmasc, please, please don't erase their identity and make it ONLY about the experience of being transmasc??
I'm so fucking tired.
Signed,
A genderqueer person
(btw if you come on this post being shitty about transmascs or talking about how transandrophobia isn't real or whatever, you're getting an instant block. This ain't about that, transandrophobia is real but so is enbyphobia/exorsexism.)

There are a couple tropes I really love in the space of Miraculous Ladybug fan works, but quite possibly my favorite is when the miraculous holders just get creature from using their powers.
Like yeah, I would say that hosting the power of an abstract concept given sentience, that got shoved into the shape of an animal and bound to a piece of jewelry, would kinda mess with your body a bit.
The little bit of this we get in canon is basically that Adrien loves being a cat and the whole Tikki munches incident.
But I love it when people give them ears and wings and tails, give them eyes that aren't quite human anymore. Fuck with their gender and their sense of body. Sometimes it's body horror, sometimes it's just aesthetic. Love it either way.
I just think it's so fun, a lot of the time it's combined with the like "when a holder and the kawami really respect and bond with each other there's nothing that can be done except having magic bleed into the holder" I think that's fun, but also just making the animal of the kwami a bigger deal is fun. Like if you're going to make it a ladybug you might as well give her wings and antenna and mirrored eyes.

being both gnc and trans is so hard sometimes. it's like, I'll face adversity for being gnc/trans/whatever-strangers-read-me-as, and in addition to the normal base-level difficultly and pain and fear of these experiences, I'll also feel on some level like it's "my own fault" too because this is what I purposefully decided to be.
I often dress/act like a girl but have a deep voice/facial hair/flat chest -- and I opted in for all of those. I spent more money than I can conceptualize in order to medically transition in those ways. while, in theory, I could've saved the money, not transitioned, continued dressing/acting the same way as I do now, and the problem would no longer exist... in theory. ofc logically I know that's not at all how it works. if I hadn't transitioned I would feel even worse. and the way I'd experience & express gender would still be intrinsically different from "cis girl" -- that's true regardless of how my body looks or sounds. which should all go without saying, because I very obviously don't conform to my CAGAB either. if I did I wouldn't be in this mess!! u know?
...but the self-blame is still there, because for better or for worse I did go out of my way to become myself. <- feels like a truism.

🏷️💘🎞️ for Captain Jack this time ehehee
-Echo
What if I didn't answer this hm? What if I exploded this ask. 💥💥💥!!?
🏷️: What is you and your f/o’s ship name?
Okay I can't actually answer this because I don't know, and I also don't think they'd have a cool ship name. Fans might make their own (much like how some people have custom tags for fandoms/ships), but I don't think there'd be a fandom wide used one. Just Jack x Tricks or perhaps The Captain x Tricks for when fans want to pay homage to Tricks' choice to not call Harkness by his name.
💘: Why would people love your ship? Why would people dislike your ship? How might it start debates?
People would like the ship because of the buildup between the two. Since Tricks would've been traveling with Nine, he's there to first meet Harkness. And each time he shows back up, the two would have scenes together. People would absolutely point out various times where "THE WRITERS WERE TELLING US SOMETHING HERE" and read the subtle interactions or even things that happen "in the background" of shots.
Additionally, people would like the ship because Monster Fucking. And also for the fact it's another very gay ship. While I don't think Tricks would be confirmed as trans I do think MANY fans would take how he's written and view it directly through a trans lens. And so, Harkness flirting with and wanting a (trans) man means a lot to many fans and it helps them feel seen.
People wouldn't like the ship because it feels forced and takes away from Harkness' character. Especially when demon lore is rewritten and is clunky and patchy.
Fans against it would argue that shipping Harkness and Tricks takes away from Harkness' character because it's cheap to "suddenly" have him know and love a character who's like him in some ways. Those fans would say that it completely takes away from Harkness' unique pain of being the only one who can't die amongst his various partners.
I think also people would say that everyone is making up the romantic undertones and that Harkness is only flirting because. He doesn't REALLY view him as a romantic partner.
Additionally, re: like him, fans would argue over this a lot. Fans of the ship would get increasingly mad about people saying it's stupid that Harkness suddenly got a new guy in his life that can't die. Because, technically demons CAN die. And that Tricks' story is supposed to mimic The Doctor and that Jack and Tricks have MORE in common and you should ship them because of the shared experiences
🎞️: What ‘canon’ scenes would the fandom point to as evidence for the validity of your ship?
One of THE scenes that would be used as "THEY'RE LITERALLY DATING OFF SCREEN" would be something throwaway where it's confirmed they hang out when Tricks isn't with the Doctor.
But also? Everytime Tricks says Harkness' name and not his title. A favorite scene would be the one where Tricks is holding a (dead) Captain Jack and when he shoots up and goes to flirt Tricks drops him and scoffs about him being "the same as ever".
Also, the time he's absolutely flirting and Ten tells him to knock it off. Jack would make a cute little comment on "Well, dad doesn't approve. But that's never stopped me before" and the fans went fucking WILD

Alternative universes are such a cool concept to me.
Like, imagine there's a universe where Colombus never sailed across the world, or even one where he was just not a shitty person. I wonder how different my life would be sometimes. Or maybe something a lot less impacting.
Maybe one where Ranboo Live or Wilbur Soot never got popular. I probably would have gotten over my DSMP faze a lot quicker than the almost three years it took me. They definitely helped shape my humor, no way I would be the same person.
Or a universe where I was actually born a boy. I think about that one a lot as well. I don't doubt my life would be easier, I don't doubt I would also be a LOT happier.
Maybe in a universe where the Library of Alexandria wasn't burned down, how much more literature would we have? How many more things would we know?
Do you think there's a Universe where there's a place that holds all the universe's secrets? I've thought of that a lot too. I've always pictured it as a ginormous library with bookshelves touching the ceiling to the floor, golden engravings etched along the side, and one of those moving ladders from Beauty and the Beast. There would be an area in the middle of the bookshelves with tables and tables seated next to each other in an infinite amount of rows. Of course, there would be two floors, maybe even a third! I think one of the floors would have a couple of restaurants. I'm picturing a Panera and a Tim Hortons, placed along the sides. The books would contain anything you could ever want to know, from the Meaning of Life to a Do it Yourself Book: Origamii Edition, to your favorite fan fiction in physical form!
