JJK S01E09 - Nanami Kento + Character Introduction

[silverskye13]

Will enby Helsknight/trans Tanguish/top surgery scars/stubborn avoidant Welsknight in a gender crisis make it into the main story of RnS? Like, a full acknowledgment of it? Because yes, us on tumblr are aware (and happily bully RnS Wels for it) but I’m curious to how it may be brought up in the main storyline instead of rambles and drabbles. (Don’t get me wrong, those rambles and drabbles are what get me through the day. But my best friend, who isn’t in the MCYT fandom whatsoever, just caught up with RnS and doesn’t use tumblr, and besides spamming her with tumblr posts I wanna know how much I can revel in the glory of the skrunkles with her!)

That is a great question, actually. And the answer is I don't really know.

So this is one of the downsides to writing things chapter by chapter. If I had gone into this going "oh heck yeah they're trans", this would've come up in the plot way sooner. It's nice information 1) for all the trans folks reading and 2) because it has the potential to inform the themes in the narrative. This whole story is about two chief things I think: death [the inevitability of] and identity [what defines you and why]. Why should you care if literally no one else (including the universe) does? That would be so cool to speak about in terms of a trans allegory! Why do you care about gender when it's just one thing in a world of crazy things? Or at the very least, how does it inform your identity? But this is a change I made on a whim suddenly, and I know Exactly Where I Want This Plot To Go, so trans topics and allegories as Plot Points probably won't happen.

On the more technical side of introducing trans characters -- how do you do that without just dropping "oh btw they're trans" in? Like, how do you make it a relevant thing to talk about, that doesn't feel forced or shoehorned in, especially this late in the story? Probably me overthinking, but I read it done wrong so often. It gets tired. And if I ever work on my original stories, there are trans characters in there! If I can figure out how to Do It Well in a fanfic, then I can figure out how to do it in original fiction someday maybe. So I kinda wanna take the introduction seriously? I've actually been thinking about it so much I've thought about rewriting the intro to the next chapter ahaha [it already needs rewritten in general, there's a lot going on, but the intro was going to be Helsknight waking up from something, and he sleeps shirtless, and not addressing top surgery scars then would be kinda silly I think.]

I can say at the very least, Gender Avoidant Wels probably won't factor in the story much. He is a character, but I don't think he'll become Enough of a character to faithfully address something like a trans self discovery arc. At best his issues with gender might be mentioned in passing.

Sorry! I know you probably want a better answer! My answer is basically: I don't know I'm still working on it. I want it to be there, but the capacity it's there is undecided.

That being said, I've been sitting on this glorious ask since the shenanigans started and the temptation to just Do That grows every time I read it:

The freshly fermented wine is sprinkled with green foam while the red clay pot slowly burns. A snowfall is impending. Would you care to drink with me? You followed me in this heavy snow. I feel bad for you. But your endeavor is destined to fail. I think you should drink with me first, then afterwards...

Green. I was told I accidentally put brown in the profile and then completely forgot to change it (+ forgot to add August's height too) but they're green!

I found this silly thing that I started AGES ago and then forgot existed for ... a very long time. And now I finished it finally.

I need to go back to this idea when I'm not in pain and yeah.... Hmm...

(the brunette is named Eve and she's the fem!protag in a fake gacha plot. There is a masc!protag named Adam if that matters to ya. And then citrus guy doesn't have a name yet buuuut he's just. Really into citrus facts vs Adam/Eve and their fish knowledge.)

That poll was pretty helpful actually, I didn't realize that a major thing a lot of people are looking for is for the Clans to be roughly equal in population. I guess that just didn't cross my mind??

Keeping that nugget close now, though... I'll try to make sure BB!WindClan is roughly equal to BB!ThunderClan.

another redesign just for you bbg, on the house

[ID: a digital drawing of an original, stylised Flatland character named Chief Jr on a beige background.

Chief is a circle with black limbs, an eye with a glossy eyelid in the centre of his body and a long tail that ends in a vaguely flame-shaped tip. His body has a light and dark grey crescent moon pattern and he is wearing a simple black crown on his top side.

He is facing the left with his right arm held out in front of him. In his right hand, he is holding a cigarette holder between his clawed fingers with a lit cigarette that has smoke trailing from it. His left arm is crossed over the other and his eyelid is lowered in a relaxed expression. His tail is curved into a sideways S-shape beneath him.

End ID].
