“I’m much happier being happy”

Just a quick thing of Mr Bluffs cause he’s neat :)

[ID: A  digital drawing of Kevin from the podcast Welcome to Nightvale against a grey background. He has on a bright yellow shirt with a spiral print, a hot pink fanny pack, green shorts and a hot pink tutu. He has his right hand on his hip and is holding a small usb microphone up to his mouth. There is text at the bottom that reads “It makes me very unhappy to be unhappy.” End ID.]

Love

[ID: A digital drawing of Cecil and Carlos from Welcome to Nightvale. Carlos is holding up and looking at a beaker with a blue liquid in it, while he has his other hand rested on one of Cecils arms, both of which are wrapped around Carlos from behind as Cecil rests his head on his shoulder. He smiles up at Carlos. The background is a rudimentary one of Carlos's lab which includes a handwashing poster, a science sticker with a smiley face, and a Glow Cloud poster that says "All Hail"

Now that JK has proven herself to be the jk we always knew she was, here is a list of incredible fiction by trans authors, because the best way to tell JK to shove her bigotry where the sun don’t shine is to buy the work of authors who deserve her platform. 

The Tensorate Series - JY Yang: four fantasy novellas about the guild of Tensors, magic users who can control elemental forces known as the Slack. V political, v beautifully written. Gender is a key theme but also there are dragons (naga), so there’s something for everyone tbh. 

Love Beyond Body, Space And Time - anthology: a collection of indigenous sci-fi / spec fic stories with LGBTQ and two-spirit characters and themes. Stories include narratives of transition, love stories, and just good ol’ space romps. 

The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror - Daniel M. Lavery: a collection of fairytale retellings with a spooky and disturbing twist. Some of these are darkly comic, and others are just plain dark. All are beautifully written, because Lavery is just That Writer. 

The Spirits Series - Jordan L Hawk: a very spicy paranormal romance trilogy about Henry Strauss, an inventor, and Vincent Night, a psychic, whose differing approaches to communing with the dead cause (I’m so sorry) friction. These ones ain’t for the kiddies, but they’re so good and spooky.

The Mechanical Universe - EE Ottoman: a romance series (w a trans male protag!) set in a sort of steampunk universe, where spellcraft and mechanical animation are vying for equal respect. Tbh, everything by EE Ottoman is Very Good And Trans - The Doctor’s Discretion is my personal fave. Recommend 100%.

Peter Darling - Austin Chant: a trans retelling of Peter Pan, where Peter returns to Neverland to find that his place there is now much less certain than it was before, and he no longer belongs anywhere. There is also a romance with Captain Hook, but it works! I promise! 

The Danielle Cain series - Margaret Killjoy: a duology of novellas following Danielle Cain, a queer punk rock nomad, as she solves spooky mysteries. The first book is set in an anarchist settlement, and the theme of found family + community is prevalent throughout. 

An Unkindness of Ghosts - Rivers Solomon: on board the spaceship HSS Matilda, the last of humanity make their journey towards the Promised Land. Conditions on board are akin to the Antebellum South, and protagonist Aster is driven to find her way off the ship - if she can. 

I Wish You All the Best - Mason Deaver: a non binary teen, Ben, comes out to their parents and is kicked out. Their sister takes them in and they start a new school, where their life begins to change for the better. This one is v sweet and deals well with mental illness. 

Resilience - anthology: a collection of poetry and prose by trans women and amab trans people, featuring work by Casey Plett, KOKUMO, Magpie Leibowitz and many more. 

Small Beauty - jia qing wilson-yang: a mixed race Chinese trans woman returns to her small town Canada home after the death of her cousin, and she deals with her trauma and grief. Beautiful and sad, and absolutely honest about grief. 

Little Fish - Casey Plett: a trans woman begins to believe that her late Mennonite grandfather may have been trans, and while her own life starts to cave in, she attempts to connect with him through those who knew him. This one is A Lot but it’s phenomenal.

A Boy Called Cin - Cecil Wilde: a romance novel (so it’s SPICY) about Cin, a young trans man, and Tom, an older genderqueer billionaire. This is not your typical billionaire romance AT ALL; healthy relationships are depicted beautifully here alongside the reality of transition.

Confessions of the Fox - Jordy Rosenberg: a retelling of Jack Sheppard, the famous jailbreaker and thief. It’s told as though a trans man has discovered a manuscript about Jack (who is trans) and Jack’s story unfolds alongside the personal narrative of the manuscript discoverer. 

Nameless Woman - anthology: a collection of fiction by trans women of colour. There’s something for everyone here - romance, sci fi, personal narratives and more. A lot of the topics covered are very heavy but they’re treated honestly and sensitively. 

Maiden, Mother, Crone - anthology: a collection of fantasy stories about trans women and femmes. You want a story about a dread trans chthonic goddess? Of course you do. It’s right here. Enjoy. 

Caroline’s Heart - Austin Chant: a romance between a trans man (a COWBOY nonetheless) and a trans woman (a WITCH). Cecily has been trying to bring her lover, Caroline, back from the dead via magic, but when Roy gives his life to save her, she has a choice to make. 

The Queen of Cups - Ren Basel: a novelette about Theo, who’s about to set sail on their first voyage. As per their village’s custom, they ask the Oracle to bless their voyage, and she agrees - if she can come along. A great treatise on bravery, loyalty and independence. 

Amateur - Thomas Page McBee: not fiction, but OH WELL!! You gotta read it!! The autobiography of a trans man who learns to box and asks questions about what kind of man he wants to be; can he avoid repeating the toxic masculinity he fears? 

Trans Power - Juno Roche: also not fiction! Oops! Take me to court!! Roche interviews multiple trans people about their relationships with their transness, their sexuality and their bodies, and the result is a super empowering and beautiful book. 

The Shape of My Name - Nino Cipri: a novelette about time travel. I really can’t say much about this one because it’s better to go in without knowing a lot, but the main theme is self discovery and acceptance, especially within the context of a neglectful / abusive family. 

Pet - Akwaeke Emezi: the children in the city of Lucille know that there are no more monsters. They’ve been told so. So when Jam meets Pet, who definitely seems to be a monster, she has to face the problem of saving the world from something that it refuses to admit exists. 

There are obviously many more trans fiction authors out there, but these are the ones I’ve read and can call to mind immediately. On my to read list are Juno Dawson (who writes YA primarily), Kai Cheng Thom (whose story in Maiden, Mother, Crone was my favourite), Meredith Russo (also writes YA), Leslie Feinberg, and Sybil Lamb.

I haven’t included trans poets here because I feel like that’s a separate list in and of itself, but if anyone wants to add any, please feel free!

if no one is following body positive accounts, you may not have heard, but this week, an account named francescaperks has been posting a petition to stop Instagram from erasing/deleting photos of fat people (specifically women) from Instagram. it's a great thing, BUT

curvynyome, a Black fat positive account, has been posting about this FOREVER. she has been talking about how her movement has been co opted and taken by not only francesca but also by white fat influencers. she hasnt been compensated by brands, other influencers, or followers the same. this is not only fatphobia, but racism.

I'm linking HER petition so yall can help spread it around and know where this movement is coming from!

[ID: Two semi realistic digital drawings of Zuko and Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender, made to look like selfies

The first is of Zuko and Sokka together, it only shows sokkas left half, he’s wearing a dark blue hoodie and light blue tee shirt, he has a septum, a helix, a daith and an ear lobe piercing. His hair is up and there are two zigzag patterns shaved into his undercut. Zuko is leaning his head on Sokka, sleeping. He has short hair and is wearing a red tee shirt. Sokka looks forward with a neutral expression

The second only has Sokka in it, (although Zukos hand is in it.) His hair is down, it’s very long, and he is not wearing a shirt. He’s smiling widely and is holding Zukos hand up close to his mouth. End ID.]

Zelda + Link sibling dynamic is exactly what i’m here for thank u @geekyowlet for the dialogue

[ID. A simple digitally draw 2 panel comic of Link (and Zelda offscreen)

Link is wearing his blue champions tunic and faces towards the viewer. He looks down at his hands that he has in a cup shape by his stomach, there are movement lines over them indicating he’s holding something. Offscreen Zelda says “Link. What are you holding.” “Link.”

In the second panel, Link is still facing us, but he looks up towards the viewer, confused. He is chewing on something (the words “Chew, Chew are placed next to his face), the wings of whatever it is stick out of his mouth as he lowers his hand to from his face. Offscreen Zelda says “LINK.” “WHY.” End ID.]

Amity Blight everyone

[littlefairylight]

anyway no one asked but: yue joins the gaang instead of becoming the moon at the end of season 1 hcs!!

- instead of giving up her life to replace tui as the moon spirit, she gives up tui’s blessing to give them the final burst of strength to escape from zhao. basically yue gives up her blue eyes, pale hair, and waterbending. she never (?) waterbends on the show, and the loss of her bending isn’t too devestating to her.

- also sokka gets a friend who can’t bend either… he deserves it.

- when the gaang leaves after the battle is over, yue decides to come with them and it’s a HUGE thing with her father and begins her main character arc, which is about whether her responsibility to her tribe and the preservation of their culture is more important than her paving her own way and also how those two things can coexist!

- she leaves her betrothal necklace on her bedside table and the last shot of the episode is just of it, lying there. 

- this got rly long so there’s more under the cut
