#tgs is transphobic and ableist

[gerrysherry]

saw your post on tgs tag. post your essay. i like tgs but i hate the fandom most of the time since they treat it the way christians treat the bible so

Thank you dear anon. You give me hope.

"OMG it's like J/H but finally woke", like no it's a white feminism level reading of Jekyll and Hyde and Jekyde bait. I just pray the ending is good. Literally all the characters deserve better.

Ask and you shall recieve: The essay with fanfic promo

TGS deserved better

Rachel deserves better than to serve every man she comes across (or falls for)

Virginia deserves better than to be a trans lesbian who pines for a gf and never does any alchemy besides help Jasper

Jasper deserves better than being a transmasc punching bag and deserves an anger arc and more creature scenes

Jekyll deserves a heart to heart and a man who actually loves him. Also he can't hide (hardy har har) behind internalized homophobia for all his problems

Lanyon deserves a writer than can decide to make either a villain or a love interest but not sexy bad boy who keeps breaking our MC's heart till the end. Cotungo also helped popularize the "Lanyon/Utterson is just jealous of Hyde" trope and I hate them for it.

Hyde could stand to be scarier and a whole lot smarter (you know like Stevenson intended, Hyde is smart. The simian brute is scary because he's smart and that doesn't just scare victorians, it scares us today) and also why do the fuck doesn't he share memories with Jekyll if Cotungo claims he DOESN'T have DID?*

The age lift doesn't work at all

De-aging the characters never really worked for me. Why transform from 35 to 25? Also Hyde looks way too old to pass as Jekyll's son son but everyone believes that?! Also the fears of aging and dying alone and losing childhood friends is completely erased. To me Utterson staring at the grave of one friend and the corpse and will of another reminds me of my grandfather saying "after you lose your childhood friends, it's never the same no matter what new ones you make"** Here Jekyll's friendship with Jasper and Lanyon seem almost interchangeable down the romantic subtext.

Queerer than Fiction / Utterson and Harker-verse/Lambs to the Slaughter/Zone trilogy/Jekyll Saga

Queerer than Fiction: I legit re-wrote some of my interactions between Jekyll and his apprentice after reading "sad people dance too"

In Queerer than Fiction my OC Svetlana finds out the truth about Jekyll and Hyde and recreates the potion. Originally this was a gender-bent Henrietta Jekyll who left for America. This didn't work and I created Svetlana Raskaynaya and her alter ego Ellis Gage***.

This freed up the original Jekyll to interact with Svetlana. His care is that to a patient and then an acquaintance and he is neutral to positive about her gnc ness. Sveta never gets to come out to him because he dies and there is a fear of hers that he wouldn't accept them as Ellis Gage. If you read my other works you'd know he wouldn't but the tragedy of not knowing is what this story is about.

Utterson and Harker: We pause our monster of the week detective stories for a brief story of grief and acceptance

Utterson and Harker is the crossover nobody will write The Harker family and Gabriel Utterson (assisted by his clerk Mr Aloysius Guest). In a dark story where Utterson dies, Guest has to assume his mentor's role and finish finding out what happened to Svetlana.He arrives to end Gage and prevent another Edward Hyde, he ends up legitimizing Ellis Gage instead.

When Mr. Guest comes to investigate whether Svetlana has Jekyll's formula which legally belongs to Gabriel Utterson, they bond over their respective second names (Ms. Ilysa Outguess, Mx. Ellis Gage) are of a different gender than theirs and being nerds.

Utterson who is canonically accepting of eccentricity finds Gage disturbing for the wall climbing, calledisclopic shifting pigmentation, and penchant for petty crime and yes recreating his best friends worst project. But the androgyny that's fine go knock yourself out.

Lambs to the Slaughter: What if Silence of the lambs but with Gothic Lit characters and not transphobic?

While some people are convinced that canon Jekyll is trans and call all those who disagree transphobic and lacking imagination I don't personally write him as such. I have no problem with such views. My friend's oc Possum is a rp blog here and it feels one of the most accurate takes on Hyde I've seen in awhile. This friend is why I am on tumblr in the first place and I post asks there every other day. All versions of his Jekyll are trans men.

I have only one story with such a premise the steampunk silence of the lambs story. The premise is that are Lucy is murdered by the Phantom of the Opera, Mina embarks on a quest of revenge which brings her behind the only man who can catch this monster, Dr. Henry Jekyll. The only problem is the man is currently serving a life sentence under the name of Edward Hyde.

It will include the following reveal:

Hyde (our Hannibal Lecter) : Based on the first two murders younger me would have been his type

Mina Harker (our Clarice Starling): But Eric only kills women...

Hyde: What do you think young Henri Jekyll was back in the day?

Mina: well then...

Also

the little girl from chapter 1 comes out as well and when he asks Hyde for a good boy's name he suggests "Henry" since Hyde isn't using anymore.

Zone trilogy: Dark satire that might be too harsh

The Zone trilogy is a series of hand-drawn comics that follow the misadventures of two children of Jekyll/Hyde and many other pop-culture characters.

Basic plot of the abyss

Edie Hyde is the daughter Edward Hyde only. Or so her father Dr. Jekyll insists. He also insists that the two alchemists living in one of his estates aren't his beneficiaries but still sends them money. He denies ever meeting Gabriel Utterson, despite Gabrielle Anna being Edie's mother. Hastings Jekyll lost his father young and was raised by his mother. When Edie dragged him into her world he is delighted to meet a version of his father but is disappointed to see he is a cold-hearted hypocritical bigot. He is drawn in the same color scheme as TGS Jekyll and his treatment of not-Jasper, Helio Lockhart, cements that saying "No one will ever believe you, they just play along" does not acceptance make. I'm sure I'll get death threats for posting that comic

Jekyll Saga: What if Jekyll had children and they all had the two body thing.

This was actually written as monster high fanfiction but I soon realized that I could actually like sell this. Currently Henry Jekyll's story is partially out and I'm editing my story about Ash and Jenny which is basically a dark highschool rom com. Hastings' story will be a spy thriller and Gabrielle Mina's story might not be out for years due to lack of material. Dorian's stories will be out as soon as I edit them.

In my penultimate and final Jekyll saga stories I explore the lives of Ash Burns and Harland Jekyll/ Harley Hyde. Both are trans and explore this in different ways when Ash (and later their child Dorian) asks the ghost of Edward Hyde what he thinks of their transition he is mostly positive.

Follow me for more trash fires like this.

Notes

*I have OSSDD-1 (formerly 1b) and my handwriting is the same for all parts, DID people often have different handwriting for each alter. Jekyll is likely higher up the scale than I am so he outnought exhibit hollywood did symptoms. Laugh all you want in 50 years handwriting tests will be called the Sheridan Tests and it will help determine severity of a Dissociative Disorder.

** This line will surely out my alter ego when she mentions this as herself years later if I become famous.

***Gage is named after Phineas Gage who through losing a quarter of his brain changed for the worse (in victorian terms, swearing and lying as well as loss of math skills) but recovered and lived 12 years many of which were relatively fulfilling. He apparently became a completely different person after the accident. Gage was no longer Gage, said friends.

[nonbinaryhorror]

finally getting caught up on the tg anime. ive read the manga so i know what happens but ughhh. i hate remembering all the fucked up things ishida wrote about mutsuki. mutsuki........... the one trans character..... with a shitty stereotypical version of did. he used to be one of my fav characters and literally all of us lgbt+ fans and fans with osdd/did deserved so much better

anyone who says sui ishida is not transphobic, homophobic, or ableist can gargle my dick and balls

[hamliet]

(1/2) i feel like ishida's portrayal of mutsuki and his suffering is a lot more grotesque than other characters. kaneki's torture and unhappiness, for example, is portrayed as more poetic imo, and juuzou obv suffered awful trauma, but wasn't shown being graphically tortured like M. i agree that the fandom's excessive hate of M is ridiculous, but i think ishida did a poor job allowing the audience to connect with and empathize him. and i feel like he does a huge disservice to M's gender identity

(2/2) b/c if mutsuki’s a trans man, it’s incredibly fucked up to show him being forced to wear a dress (in the auction) and be referred to a girl against his will while he’s being physically and sexually assaulted (torso arc). if he’s not a trans man, i’m positive it’ll be revealed that mutsuki was only identifying as a man because he was damaged/brainwashed by abuse, and he’ll start living as a woman once he goes back to “normal”, which is super fucking dismissive of gender identity variance.             

Your opinion is definitely valid, even if I don’t necessarily agree with all of it. I personally found the chapters showing Mutsuki’s abuse were among the most empathy-stirring chapters in the series. They were grotesque yes, because they were more upsetting than Kaneki’s. I personally feel the reason people don’t like empathizing with him usually comes down to “but Touka!” (fair if she’s your fave but why does it have to be one or the other) or “he’s crazy!” which is ableist as fuck. The fact that lots of people are transphobic doesn’t help (even if they insist they aren’t), because transphobic fanbois really don’t care whether or not Mutsuki actually is a trans man or a woman: the mere fact that he provokes this discussion is uncomfortable for them imo. (Look at Reddit, or really don’t; it’s a cesspool.)

Regarding his gender, I do not answer questions on that. That being said, if he’s a trans man, do you think it’s really unheard of for trans men to be forced to act like girls? Because let me tell you, it’s not unheard of at all. The world is cruel and awful irl as well as in fiction, and those things were clearly portrayed as negative regardless of what Mutsuki ends up identifying as because it’s fucked up not to refer to someone as they want to be referred. Just because it’s upsetting though doesn’t necessarily mean it’s irresponsible. If he isn’t a trans man, I do understand and would agree with you that it would seem like baiting, but please check out this post here and remember that if you are not Japanese, you are probably missing some cultural context and it’s possible we were never supposed to interpret Mutsuki’s character that way. That being said trans people exist in every culture so it’s not an excuse and I agree I would find that dismissive and really baiting, and like, Ishida, I know you can do better than that.I personally do not have much of a problem with how Mutsuki’s character has been treated so far. I see that people think it’s not good writing, but I disagree for now, depending on the ending of his arc. If his arc ends in a character who embodies so many hot-button issues just being “put down” when I don’t even think that is the best option thematically, well, then I’m going to write a huge long post about how irresponsible and offensive it is, because it will be. But I also don’t think that fits well with the themes of compassion and love and redemption within TG, and I don’t think it works terribly well on a narrative level either–it could maybe work, but it would be less thematically consistent, and there’s foreshadowing Mutsuki will be redeemed so. I don’t believe we’ll be getting that. If I can say this, I’ll say that seeing an abuse victim who is not magically fixed with a smile on their face is actually a story I’d like to see more of. That being said, he at least needs to start the road to recovery within the story, or it’s irresponsible and I’ll be rolling my eyes at/unable to buy any Kaneki redemption.
