okay so like. mymusic is about internalized transphobia. right. we can all agree on this. right.

like, i know that curtis's arc is meant to be allegorical for coming out as gay, but it makes a lot more sense for him to be trans, which means that the music genre(s) you like are akin to genders in this universe, or at least at mymusic.

following this logic, flowchart doesn't like music, making him nonbinary.

which two employees does indie resent the most? flowchart and nerdcore, both for their inability to conform to his rules of music taste gender. we know that indie puts a lot of effort into being a proper impassive hipster, which theoretically he shouldn't have to if that was truly who he was (not to mention that he does this to please his father, which, oof.) we also know that indie can envision himself becoming a nerd, which is specifically the subculture/stereotype most explicitly presented as being "trans."

#rachel rants #mymusicshow #one of my coworkers (l) is writing a story rn #and she's been bringing in spinets of it every week for another one of my coworkers (a) and i to critique #and it's about this princess whose father wants her to marry the king of a neighboring kingdom but she doesn't want to #so she runs away to follow in her late mother's footsteps of being a witch #and all the witches are unwed women who live out in the woods together #and the men in power in this society fucking hate them but there is a certain level of pride that comes from “taming” these witches #and taking one as a bride despite their magical past #and anyway. at one point when reading this i just started autoreplacing any mentions of these witches with “lesbians” bc. well.#and the other day we got to the part where the main character properly confronts this man she's betrothed to and she tells him:#“i doubt you'd want me now. i'm a witch.”#and i told l that i fully read that as “you wouldn't want me bc i'm a dyke”#and a was like "you know when you're in english class and there's always that one person who says every story is about being gay?#“i feel like that's rachel”#anyway. y'all after this post #btw i'm deffo not that way about every story i just call it like i see it
