Thinking about how wild it is that enshittification starts as a way for the rich to squeeze the populace for more money but ends up infecting everything so even luxury products decline in quality. They’ve got more money than fucking God now and for what? Literally they can’t even buy fun nice stuff for themselves because they killed craft.

Anyway this post is about Dhaka muslin but it’s also about everything.

Trans beca headcanons? 🥺

Omg thank you so much for the ask!!! Let's see here, in no particular order...

She first started questioning her gender identity around the age of ten while living up north with her mother. I think it took her a year or two to sort those feelings out and another year to come out to her family.

She has a better relationship with her stepmom than canon!Beca does. I've always headcanoned Sheila as being sort of a crunchy resist-lib wine mom, which I can see adding to their friction in canon (on top of the whole divorce/remarriage angle and Beca not exactly being a people person), but I think when Beca came out Sheila got on board much more quickly and enthusiastically and helped the Doc come around to the idea.

Speaking of Dr. Mitchell, I think he's a pragmatist first and foremost, which doesn't always make him the easiest to get along with, but his heart's in the right place. He'd be hesitant at first and asking a lot of questions to be sure that's what she really wants, but once that's over with he goes out of his way to make sure she's safe and thriving to the point of being a bit overbearing. Mom is just your typical chill northerner type.

Despite her punk exterior and penchant for piercings/tattoos, she doesn't do injections. She's fine with needles when it's someone else doing it, but doing it herself is a no go.

Besides messing around with her hair and makeup, her fashion sense really hasn't changed all that much. She was on that futchy alternative-punk grind before she came out, and because she's hilariously short a bunch of her favorite flannels are holdovers from her pre-transition wardrobe that still fit her. I think at least a couple of her piercings and tats predate her transition as well.

She really wants to try out an asymmetrical haircut with one side shaved, but she spent so long wanting to grow her hair out that she can't bring herself to actually take off that much length now that it's there.

She's more in tune with her sexuality than canon!Beca, although I'm sure she'd still be flustered and overwhelmed by the force of nature that is Chloe Beale. Nothing can really prepare you for that.

She's still into mixing music, but she's also a big-time gamer. A lot of her early experimentation involved playing as femme characters, and she spent a year or two in high school saving up to build a PC that she uses for both hobbies. The unfortunate side effect of all this being that her sleep schedule has been absolutely massacred. (maybe what she needs is a certain titian-haired incentive to be in bed at a reasonable hour?)

Speaking of mixing, that hobby of hers is what got her to really commit to voice training. One of her happiest moments was the first time she used her own voice in a cover and didn't hate it. Now that she's more secure, however, she occasionally dips into the deeper part of her range to record some sick layered vocals.

Unlike canon!Beca, her resistance to joining the Bellas was less about it being totally lame (though that was still a factor. She still has an image to maintain) and more about not being allowed to join women's a cappella even if she wanted to (she's not exactly quiet about who she is. She's got some pride pins and bracelets and such and can often be found at local protests and pride events). Like canon!Beca, however, the shower scene brought her around.

Thank you again for the ask!!
