Happy trans awareness week! Sonic is one of those characters (like link) that I really like to see trans headcanons of. Doesn’t matter if it’s transmasc, transfem, non-binary, everything works XD I need to draw sonic more btw. He’s actually one of the harder characters for me to draw. I can never seem to get his head-shape right :,3

Alright so first off, I’m going to get this out of the way before going on a ramble thing for silver about personal headcanons- as its trans related headcanons and something i should say before getting into my own lol   Silver the hedgehog, honestly as long as I’ve seen them has always *seemed* trans to me- canonly or not silver just seems like that one character that would be trans or at the very least gender non-conforming!  Maybe it’s the personal connections playing into favoritism here as being trans myself however-   Silver was born in a mostly dead future, as far as we known there’s no actual society of humanity left standing except the few survivors through the future ending events that led up to whatever kind of future silver originates from.  A lot of gender related things are more so heavily ingrained in our society, male and female and so on- that’s likely. not really there. even if there was more humanity there than we ever see- why would that be what they’re worried about when fighting for their lives?    The idea of gender is likely not that relevant to silver, it just feels right y’know? they grew up in a place where that just basically wasn’t a worry.  coming to sonics present time, depending on how you view silver (because that’s the best part about fanbases! is different approaches to the same character and their identity!) they could have multiple reactions to that world around them! they could figure out actually, I do like this or I don’t like this- or this explains a lot and I didn’t know that was what gender dysphoria was! its limitless in that retrospect. Nonbinary silver, transmasc and transfem silver, the list goes on as tha’ts not all there is! At the VERY least despite there not being coding or anything in canon referencing to silver being trans or gender non-conforming it just feels right, in a way.  Anyways! that little ramble aside! let’s get into personal headcanons for silver! in honor of her birthday, and also trans awareness week it felt like since I couldn’t push out art like I planned, I’d do this instead! 
                                                          <>
 Silver headcanons revolving around her trans identity and how her emotions revolve around those feelings!
-Silver is a trans girl! using she/her but they/them aren’t a big deal to her! -Silver still isn’t afraid to be flexible in her gender identity either, androgynous, masculine all of the above! it doesn’t matter to her in the end because it didn’t matter when she came to the present!  -”passing” is also not something that worries her, as long as shes happy with who she is and how shes expressing herself there its good enough. Once again, why would she worry about what silly gender norms may be around, where she grew up it didn’t even matter- though she is at least glad how being in the present helped her find a version of herself she was happiest with  -Silver doesn’t have any major dysphoria relating to her gender identity- this is all purely because “it feels better, and it feels right to who I am.” and that is completely valid. Sometimes things just feel better, and it makes you feel more... you. Which is very important to this version of silver especially when relating to other headcanons/au’s of mine  -(more detail on the previous statement) To put it lightly, silver struggles to find herself different from previous versions of herself. being aware of them through some ‘cycle’ or loop of sorts. Is she really her? or is she just another version of them? Her personal found comfort in her gender and pronouns helps a bit in that regard- she’s herself. she’s her. She’s silver! she may have a job to do, like all the others- and in some aspects are the same in personality and motives as past versions- but she’s still herself. it provides some comfort in it all.  -It takes a bit to come to the realization of what she feels suits best, Afterall it’s a new feeling and an unexpected solution to an internal problem! but she does talk it out with people- even if in confused questioning that can sometimes be out of nowhere  All in all, her gender revolves around making herself feel more like... her! what makes her happiest when shes around others and isnt afraid to be flexible with it! genders weird and she thinks confining stuff to masculine or feminine can be a bit much at times- she wants to be a girl and be free to do what she wants with it! shes defining herself as a person and saving the future as we know it.

Welcome to another round of W2 Tells You What You Should See, where W2 (me) tries to sell you (you) on something you should be watching. Today's choice: 少年歌行/The Blood of Youth
Tumblr media
The Blood of Youth is a 2022 live-action adaptation of the tale of a deposed, disabled, and incredibly cunty prince who's on his way back to settle the score with his asshole father, and the rag-tag band of weirdos he accumulates along the way, including Spear Girl, Bad Monk, and Fire Puppy (pictured above).
I hope you like shounen anime, because this is the most shounen anime something is allowed to be without actually being based on something running weekly in Shounen Jump. What if Nirvana in Fire were also Naruto? It would be the Blood of Youth.
Tumblr media
This show is an underrated gem of action-packed fun that not nearly enough people in English-speaking fandom have seen. In an attempt to correct that -- and ahead of an announced second season and prequel in progress -- I'm here with five reasons you should try it out.
1. Zero thoughts head empty
You do not have to pay an enormous amount of attention to this show to understand what's going on. The show itself does not always know what's going on. It got distracted by a shiny object over there, and now we're all gearing up to go punch the shiny object. We'll get back to the main plot when we're done with the punching.
Tumblr media
It has a million billion plot threads going on at any given moment. Bad guys roll in from sects you've never heard of before, using superpowers with stupid names, only to get kicked into next week. There's approximately eleventy thousand characters -- so many, in fact, that I ran into problems several times while making this rec post, because there aren't readily available photos of everyone I want to talk about. Just look at the DramaWiki cast list. See how it goes on for like fifty screens? That's a little what the show feels like.
Except I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing, because the show knows it's doing this, and it acts accordingly. It telegraphs pretty well who's important and who isn't (and then it goes out of its way to color-code the latter, which is handy). What you're left with is absolutely a manga-style plot, complete with training arcs and semi-relevant sidequests, all working up to the final boss match.
Tumblr media
It is an extremely self-aware show. On multiple occasions, something would happen, I would crack a joke about it, and then a beat later the show itself would make the exact same joke. I wouldn't call it an outright comedy, but it's still very funny, and on purpose. It has no illusions about being some kind of profound, meaningful epic. Mostly it's just here for a good time.
Yet this lightheartedness is what makes the powerful emotional parts really powerful by contrast. The show is not stupid; it's just goofing around most of the time. When it knuckles down, it can be devastating. And you know what? It does wind up being profound and meaningful about some stuff. How about that.
Tumblr media
So yeah, if you're up for something that bops merrily right along and only occasionally rips your heart out, here you go!
2. Putting the poly in polycule
Bisexuals, rejoice! It's representin' time!
Tumblr media
Here you go, I made a relationship chart of about 40% of the show's potential and canonical ships. I could have included so many more, but I only had so much space on the image, so I had to leave out some amazing ones, like the sword hedgehog who's real into this one cougar who could easily wipe the floor with him, or the rich nerd who thinks he has a chance with the aforementioned hot butch, or the fancy MILF who cheated on the emperor with a dreamy jianghu man and is trying not to cheat on him again with a different, slightly less dreamy jianghu man. See? There's just so much.
I would also say these are not exclusive ships. They are extremely inclusive ships. I am a fan of most (though admittedly not all) of the pairings listed here, and in fact of many of the three-and-more-somes indicated by these lines. They're such a cuddle puddle of shared intense feelings that it's hard to imagine anyone getting more than mildly jealous. Moreover, the potential for romance does not get in the way of hetero friendships; a boy and a girl who are each dating other people can go do adventures together, and (mostly) nobody gets weird about it, which is nice. If anything, what makes the overall dynamic so polycule-like is how equally friends and love interests get treated, meaning that it's not difficult to see a lot of crossover potential between those two categories.
If you're like me, you're hesitant about canonical romance, especially when it's straight, mostly because so many straight love stories wind up being tiresome, gross, and/or skull-poundingly boring. You will then be pleasantly surprised by how the canon pairings with members of the main cast are not like this at all!
Tumblr media
Xiao Se and Sikong Qianluo are the main textual romance, and golly gee, they're just cute as heck. As the chart above indicates, I like interpreting them as two Kinsey 6's who have found their single exceptions, Mulder-and-Scully-style. Maybe one of the best things about their relationship is that it gets sidelined all the time for the plot. They're not so busy being in love that they forget to get shit done. Then they get a bit of downtime and get to go on a date, and you're like, aww, those sweet gay disaster babies are gonna do a little bit of heterosexuality. Just precious.
Tumblr media
Tang Lian and Fairy Rui are right up there with the cuteness. She's a sex-positive dancing beauty who wants to ride that pretty boy like she stole him, and he's a shy sword boy so tightly bottled up that he'll explode if he sees a bare ankle. Avoiding spoilers, I will simply say that this is a pairing of two relatively soft people, until a bad thing happens to one of them and the other hardens up about it. If that's your jam, they're here for you.
Tumblr media
Lei Wujie and Ye Ruoye are probably the most magical and the most practical of the bunch. They have a beautiful, super-dreamy, really horny sword-dance meet-cute, complete with its own pop song ... and then that's it, they're basically just together. She likes him, he likes her, good for them. In-laws aside, it's a refreshingly low-drama situation. Besides, I always love it when the hypercompetent woman gets the sweet, devoted himbo who'd do anything for her. Ruoye's had a hard life, and she deserves someone who can dick her down good at night and make her a nourishing breakfast the next morning.
And then there is, of course, The Ship:
Tumblr media
Xiao Se and Wuxin are canonical, textual soulmates. The show treats their dynamic as more important than any other. It's so important, in fact, that the show has to sideline Wuxin for huge parts of the drama, lest everything get too damn gay. They each get a boyfriend catch on the other. They both do fairly reckless things when the other is in trouble. They are the secret hidden happy ending to the series. They share the kind of ride-or-die relationship built on mutually being the hugest bitches in any given room. Whether or not you think this is romance, it is extremely romantic, and the series agrees as much as it can, all things considered.
And if none of those flavors of love float your boat? Well, have you considered ... eunuchs?
3. She likes e4e
So I'm on record as being real into eunuch characters, right? Well, if you're with me on that, you are in for a treat here, because these are some absolutely buck-wild eunuchs.
Tumblr media
There's five main ones, and I can't even begin to scratch the surface of what's going there. Like, really, I don't even think I understood all of what was happening with them. They're kind of the bad guys, but then they're kind of the good guys, but then some of them are the bad guys, but then they're just working for the bad guys, but then they screw over the bad guys, and ... it's just a lot, okay? It's a lot, and it's all happening with this bunch of catty bitches.
Tumblr media
Also, you would not believe the difficult time I had finding any images for this section. I guess for some reason, fandom isn't way into a bunch of canonically dickless color-coordinated middle-aged men in weird hats? Whatever, man, they are missing out. If, however, you have the good sense to be into the intense and complicated (semi-romantic??) relationships among colleagues who also professionally just happen to be missing their external genitalia, buddy, strap in (and maybe strap on, depending).
Tumblr media
Don't let me oversell how much these guys are in the show. They're not. They're vaguely important at points throughout, and they become incredibly important near the end, but they're hardly main characters. They're mostly back at the palace, doing their various schemes and looking absolutely fantastic.
Tumblr media
So if they're such a minor part of the story, why do they get their own selling point? Well, I think their presence is a good example of two specific things about the show:
Specific thing the first: It's so queer -- not gay, but queer. Thinking back to my last selling point, you will notice how many of those straight pairings may look normie on the outside, but once you get down to it are not playing by cishet rules. (For instance, I've seen a lot of people read Tang Lian's resistance to sexual advances as asexuality, which, sure!) Likewise, there are lots of incredibly important, intimate relationships that don't conform to standard romantic pair dynamics. Add to that a lot of bodies with unusual characteristics and conditions, and you've got the makings of plenty of delightful non-normative love stories.
Specific thing the second: There are so many things going on with so many side characters that there's a kink here for everyone. Don't care for eunuchs? How about slinky villains with mind-control powers? Devoted servants who would do anything for their masters? Former bad guys who owe life-debts to the good guys who saved them? Bonded pairs traipsing around the jianghu together? Sons nursing legitimate grudges against the men who killed their fathers? Alcoholic widowers with incredibly slutty necklines? Mysterious cross-dressers with unconvincing moustaches? Vengeful brides? Martial siblings? Murderous royals? Guilt-ridden half-siblings? Boring star-crossed lovers? All these and more! It's a smorgasbord of rarepair fuel!
Also, I just love these toxic drama queens. It's like if RuPaul's Drag Race had the authority to have you executed.
4. The most intriguing outfits I've ever seen in anything (and yes, I'm including Winter Begonia)
Time for a fashion show!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The asymmetrical fits, the detailed embroidery on everything, the brilliant colors -- everybody just looks so good. And yet everything still looks ... eh, I don't know if "practical" is the word I want, but at least wearable. Nobody's dragging ten-foot trains of fabric behind them or wrapped in eighty floofy layers of gauze (except Rui, but she's special). Their outfits are strange and elaborate, but they don't defy physics.
What's truly stunning is how often they get new outfits. Xiao Se alone changes clothes about once every other episode, and more if he's getting a flashback. He is the fashion plate of the whole series, and every look he serves is pitch-perfect.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They're not outright color-coded, but the main characters do have certain colors associated with them -- which is extra-fun when you watch those colors bleeding into their friends' clothes as their relationships get stronger. I also think -- and I'm willing to be proven wrong on this point, but I think I'm right -- that they recycle some characters' outfits into parts of other characters' outfits. On more than one occasion, I'd swear that Lei Wujie shows up wearing the left half of something Xiao Se was wearing a few episodes back (tailored to fit him, of course, because that dumb ponytail boy is tall).
Where I think the costume design gets massive points, though, is that the costumes are themselves adaptations.
Tumblr media
Before the live-action series, there was a 2018 3D animated donghua. I have never watched the latter, but apparently the drama is intensely faithful to the animated visuals, to the point where some fights are shot-for-shot remakes.
Of course, you can do a lot more with unreal clothing and bodies in animation -- and you can show a lot more skin, at least according to Chinese content laws. The live-action costumers chose to preserve about as many of the appearance beats from the donghua as they could manage, while still accepting the limitations of real-life bodies and materials. You can see some side-by-side comparisons here. The live-action outfits manage to be instantly recognizable without being slavishly devoted recreating to their inspirations.
So if you're sick and tired of dreary, ill-lit shows with bland palettes, this vibrant, colorful drama may be just the thing for you. It's a rainbow from start to finish.
5. Actually a good central plot?
Despite all the wacky delightful shounen nonsense that this show has -- and it has a lot -- the core of the whole narrative, which is Xiao Se's story, is surprisingly great and cohesive.
Tumblr media
The short version is this: Xiao Se used to be Xiao Chuhe, sixth prince and somewhat heir apparent. Then he and his jerk-ass dad had a falling-out that resulted in the prince's having his martial arts abilities all but taken from him. He's been living the life of a very well-dressed innkeeper for several years, trying to avoid all of that palace garbage. But now his jerk-ass dad is dying, which means that a lot of horrible decisions are finally having unfortunate consequences for everyone, and Xiao Se's got to get back in there to make sure everything does not go to shit and land someone terrible on the throne -- even if it has to mean taking it himself.
His central conflict is between what he used to be and what he's become. Does he miss being Xiao Chuhe, high-ranked martial artist and future emperor? Or is he happier being Xiao Se, long-suffering nobody who can barely run a business, much less hold his own in a fight? What would he be willing to do to get back what he's lost? What are his obligations to himself versus his obligations to everyone else? How much is he responsible for his father's bullshit? And why has he wound up having to babysit this stupid Fire Puppy?
Tumblr media
It's okay, they're best friends now. Lei Wujie decided.
No spoilers, but I liked Xiao Se's ending a lot. I feel it's very true to the character and shows a real understanding of who he is and what he values. And really, at the end of the day, sometimes all you need for a happy ending is your girlfriend, your girlfriend's girlfriend, your girlfriend's girlfriend's boyfriend who's also your boyfriend, your other boyfriend, his girlfriend, and your long-distance for-real soulmate.
Feel like giving the youths a try?
You can find them on YouTube or on Viki. But be absolutely sure that no matter where you watch it, you make sure to go watch the epilogue as well. (And if you get real into the story, well, here's a link to information about all the other adaptations.)
You are also welcome for how I did not spend this post going off for five hundred years on how much I love Wuxin and his funky relationship to Buddhism. I figured that's way too niche of a selling point for most people, and might indeed have even been counterproductive. But know that I could have.
Also, I'm very happy about the announcement of a second season, because that's going to mean Liu Xueyi has to shave his head again, and he looks unbearably good with a shaved head.
Tumblr media
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention the whole motorcycle photoshoot?
Tumblr media
In case you hadn't noticed, the whole cast is stupidly hot. Hachi machi.

Reader who has a baby brother who acts like kotaro from gakuen baby. (Reader lives with the bsd cast, reader always goes out to take care of his brother, but one day Luiz takes him home and he meets the cast)
My baby brother
Self-Aware! BSD Characters x Male! Reader
Tumblr media
Description: Your parents are going on a small vacation and asked you to look after your baby brother, [B/N]. Well, time for him to meet your new roommates/friends.
Warning: Fluff. OOC, English is my second language.
BSD cast noticed one thing. Everyday, even during weekends you were going somewhere, spend at least two hours there and then return home.
At first, Cast thought, that your boss make you work overtime, but you assured them, that's not the case. You mentioned, that the reason for your absence was family related.
You didn't elaborate further. You explained, that, right now, yiu are still trying to come with the fact, that your new roommates are very unique people and that you are living with them in this huge house. You promised, that you will tell them more about your family, when you become more comfortable with current situation.
But soon, they not only knew more about your family, but also met one of your relatives.
___________
Monday
___________
Everyone was a little bit nervous. Today, they will meet someone from your family.
Yesterday, you were talking on the phone with someone. After you finished talking, you had an announcement to make. You gathered everyone in the common room.
"Okay, everyone. For the next week, someone special will stay with us. One of my family members have to stay with me. I hope, everyone is okay with it."
An hour ago, you went to fetch your relative. The Gang wanted to make a good first impression.
They heard a jingle of keys. You were back. The Gang gather in the common room, waiting for you.
They heard steps. Yours and someone else's. The steps were really quiet. Then they heard your voice.
"Hello, everyone. Met my baby brother, [B/N].
You walked inside the common room. You were holding hands with a toddler boy. The boy had big eyes and short hair. You picked your brother up and walked closer to your new roommates/friends.
Your brother looked at the gang. [B/N] was quiet, he was looking at your new friends. You whisper.
"Hey, [B/N], remember, I told you about my new friends? That's them. Say 'Hello'".
Your brother stay quiet for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"Ung!"
Your brother's eyes were shining. He was happy to meet big brother's friends.
At least half of the characters almost had a heart attack because of the cuteness overload.
Fukuzawa, Mori, Hirotsu, Melville, Natsume, Taneda and Fukuchi were planning to steal you two and adopt you.
You continue talking.
"Our parents have gone on vacation for a next week, so [B/N] will stay with us for a week."
Meanwhile, [B/N] was quiet again. You noticed, that he was looking directly at Akutagawa, who was standing close to you. Ryuunosuke looked at [B/N] in return. Suddenly, [B/N] grabbed Akutagawa's sleeve and giggles.
"Hedgehog!"
Akutagawa's eyes widen, Gin and Higuichi try to hold back their laugh, Dazai was shaking because of laughter and Atsushi looked really nervous. You scolded.
"[B/N], don't do that! Don't call people hedgehogs! I am sorry, Ryunosuke."
Akutagawa just huffed. He doesn't look offended. You smiled.
"Okay, I will make something for [B/N] to eat. I'll be back in a minute."
Before you can do away, [B/N] pointed at Chuuya.
"Wesel [Weasel]!"¹
Dazai was howling with laughter.
"I like this kid"
"[B/N], don't call other people weasels! Chuuya, I am sorry!"
Chuuya also huffs and playfully shove you.
"Don't sweat it, [Y/N]."
[B/N] let out a small whine.
"Wesel... hut Big Brother [Weasel hurt Big Brother]?"
You quickly pet your brother's head.
"No, I am fine, [B/N]. Chuuya was just playing with me."
[B/N] looked at you, then nodded.
"Ung."
When you left, The Cast glance at each other, then said in one time.
"Adorable."
_______
Tuesday
_________
You and [B/N] were 'kidnapped' by Fukuzawa, Mori, Hirotsu, Melville, Natsume, Taneda and Fukuchi.
Natsume used his ability to lure [B/N] in one of the rooms, where the rest of the group were sitting.
When you were looking for [B/N], you also were dragged to the same room.
For the whole day, you two were showered in treats. [B/N] was also showered in toys. And there were photos and videos taken.
The videos of [B/N] saying "Tank you [Thank you]" and "Ung!" and the video of you feeding [B/N] sweets were sent to the group chat.
The videos became their treasures.
If something happens to you two, the BSD cast will destroy the world.
At the end, your 'kidnappers' spend the whole day with you and your brother.
It was fun. You were wondering what would happen tomorrow.
_________
Wednesday
_________
You were mumbling, while you were searching for your brother.
"Okay, where is my brother now. Don't tell me, Natsume and others kidnapped him again "
When you passed the window, you noticed, that your brother were outside. He was looking at something with Tetchou.
You went outside and approached them.
"Hi, [B/N]. Hello, Tetchou. What you are looking at?"
[B/N] stands up and wiggles towards you. He pointed at the ground.
"Big Brother, ants!"
You smile and pat his head. Tetchou cast a quick glance towards you.
"Want to join us in ant watching?"
[B/N]'s eyes shine and he grabbed your sleep.
"Ung!"
You nodded.
"Okay, I am with you."
You watched ants together for a few more minutes.
_________
Thursday
_________
It was dinner time. And you were in trouble.
[B/N] refuse to eat his veggies. Before you eat the treat he made for you. Unfortunately, Tetchou was the one who helped him.
You were looking at three strawberries with shichimi spice on them. Then you looked at [B/N]. He was waiting for you to try strawberries.
Jouno almost growls.
"Tetchou, don't you dare corrupt this sweet child with your taste in food... [Y/N]!"
You ate one of the strawberries. The mix of papers doesn't go well with sweet strawberries. But your brother wants to make you happy. You can take it.
You smile through tears.
"Thank you, [B/N]. It was so good!"
[B/N] smiles.
"Ung! Big Brother is happy!"
You smile and eat another spicy strawberry. Than the last one.
"Thanks, [B/N]. You see, your Big Brother ate everything. You also should eat everything, so you can be as strong and big as your brother."
[B/N] nodded and start eating his veggies.
When he wasn't looking, you drink at least four glasses of water.
Still, for his smile, you were ready to eat more of that strawberries.
At least ten Members of BSD cast want to raise a child with you.
_________
Friday
_________
At the evening, you had a tea party with Rats in the House of the Dead. And with Gogol.
It became a tradition for you, having a Friday tea parties with Fyodor, Goncharov, Pushkin and Gogol.
But today the party will be paused. Because you need to read [B/N] a bedtime story.
"[B/N], have you chosen the book to read? Oh, 'Tsar Nikita and his Forty Daughters'... [B/N], who gave you this book?"
[B/N] point at Pushkin.
"Pushin [Pushkin]"
You glare at Pushkin. This guy was interested in the Real world Pushkin works. So, you won't be surprised, that he told your brother about this book. You hoped, that Pushkin didn't do it on purpose.² You spoke to your brother again.
"[B/N], this book is for adults. Let's choose another one."
At the end, you read him "If you give a mouse a cookie". And, because Fyodor, Gogol, Goncharov and Pushkin were fine listening to your reading, you read for them too at the same time.
When finished, [B/N] was sleeping. You carry him to your room, where he also was sleeping.
When you were back, you heard Fyodor's words.
"You will be a good father, [Y/N]."
You were too embarrassed, to say something in return.

You got a new bag and coat. You were glad, that your parents were fine with your roommates' presents.

Once again, BSD cast were gathered in the common room. It was time for [B/N] to go home.
You were holding your brother.
"Okay, [B/N], say goodbye."
[B/N] nodded and turn towards BSD cast.
"Bye Teto! Bye Chu-chu! Bye Ryu! Bye Yosa! Bye Fitz! Buy Zawa...! [Tetchou, Chuuya, Ryunosuke, Yosano, Fitzgerald, Fukuzawa...]"
It takes [B/N] five minutes to say bye to everyone. And then both of you left the house.
BSD cast will wait for the next time your brother come to visit them. He is so well-behaved and cute.
They will be happy to see him again. And see you taking care of him again.
