people who are obsessed with passing are gonna be the death of our community i swear

I like the general fandom trend to just take the plot of Hyrule Warriors as a loose guideline at best and just use the whole concept as a good excuse to get blorbos to interact across timelines, BUT I'm very disappointed that everyone is missing the comedic potential of a very specific squad of characters:

Young Link (aka Mask), who walks out of the nightmare of Majora's Mask and immediately gets portal kidnapped into a temporal war, takes one look at the whole mess and decides that you could not fucking pay him to admit to being the resident expert on Time Shenanigans. He introduces himself with the title of Hero of Termina, and definitely doesn't have any other ones, that would be crazy. Hero of Time? Never heard of him.

Tetra, who is a kickass pirate captain with zero patience for people trying to shove her into the Designated Princess role, and realizes immediately that Oh Fuck, this Hyrule has a lot of Ideas about how the Hero and the Princess are supposed to properly play their parts, the second they realize she's technically a Zelda they're gonna shove her in a goddamn dress and damsel her again, that's not happening. So she's definitely just a really cool pirate captain, nothing else going on here at all, definitely not the heir of the Hylian royal family in her time, that'd be crazy.

Ravio, who is literally just a palette swapped Link, meaning that the second his hood comes off, things are gonna get Awkward. There's no way in hell he's dealing with all that Hero baggage, that's Link work, so that giant bunny hood/mask is practically superglued to his head, and he's not taking it off for love or money.

Spirit Tracks Zelda, who is just in the Phantom Armour the whole time, and passing herself off as just a friendly ghost posessing a suit of armour to help the Hero of Spirits. Of course she isn't Princess Zelda, that's ridiculous, if she were a Zelda then people would start getting really weird about her technically being dead, and boy does that ever sound like a whole Thing she doesn't want to deal with, so she can't possibly be Zelda, she's just a nice ghost knight. Also, her teenage grandma is here, and that's kinda weird, so it's easier to just not admit to being royalty and avoid that awkward conversation.

Finally there's Sheik, who is not the Princess Zelda of the era straight up abandoning her war torn country for months at a time so she can risk her life in extreme cosplay for no clear reason, but is instead the actual Sheik from Ocarina of Time, who just beat Ganondorf like a month ago and is still trying to process what the fuck to do now. Also, he's been pretending to be a boy since he was ten, and is realizing there's a pretty good chance that he isn't pretending anymore, so that's a whole other can of worms. But for the last seven years of his life, being Princess Zelda meant certain death, so he's not really inclined to introduce himself like when in a new and stressful situation (not to mention he might actually just not be a girl named Zelda anymore), so he automatically introduces himself as just Sheik the spooky ninja man, and fuck he's in too deep to back out now, looks like he's committing to the bit. If you think you sense the Triforce of Wisdom on him, no you don't.

Cue shenanigans as the five of them attempt to hide that they're all actually kind of A Big Deal. The group motto is "Nobody says shit", which is usually delivered as a frantic hiss whenever someone slips up. Just the reunion between Sheik and Mask alone would be absolutely buckwild given how they parted, and how they're both frantically pretending to Not be involved with each other. For added hilarity and/or drama, Sheik gives his semi-bullshit cover story of having just been a friend of the Hero of Time, then runs into said Hero of Time and they both have to desperately pretend not to know each other, because if anyone picks up on the mountain of baggage between them then Mask is busted, and he won't hesitate to drag Sheik down with him out of sheer spite. Not to mention the weird balance of Sheik being used to this Link being a teenager that's actually a small child, and now has to adjust to Link who is a small child that's actually a teenager.

Also, i really feel like we're all missing out on the comedy potential of Ganondorf recognizing Young Link on sight and the two of them immediately launching into a grudge match with some extremely personal and specific insults on both sides. Meanwhile literally everybody else is just standing there watching, trying to process the fact that out of every single person that's been pulled out of time, Ganondorf only has personal beef with a literal nine year old.

I just feel like we're all really sleeping on the potential for Shenanigans here. The whole thing is an absurd mess, why not have some fun with it?

You know, I feel like other trans people might get this, but it's honestly kind of refreshing when a cis person has, like, undeniable tboy/tgirl/whatever swag. It's like when you come across somebody who speaks the same language as you and you only find out when they start speaking it, too.

Hiiii! I love this blog sm it makes me so happy!

I wanted to request a trans pride sunburst? He’s my comfort character, I project onto him a lot and he feels so trans coded imo. It would mean a lot to me :D

Thank you so so much if you get around to this!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

What the FUCK do y’all know about sexualizing nuns⁉️🤪

I have not drawn anything for two days but this, these two. I got posessed okay. I am so normal about them. So so normal. Here we go, loveletter to @tangledinink and all the good food they provide with all their awesome stories, comics, arts, everything I am inhaling everything like melt id down inject it into my bloodstream. (I need to play catchup on all the good stuff i am behind on the keysmashing in the tags under the buffet or ART)

Soooo, being "normal" aside, the twins are everything i wanna adopt them they are precious and I love them and they are the fanciest bitches ever. They are such twins. They hit me like a suckerpunch that I gladly threw myself into with a smile. But then again that is a general experience with stuff done by their creator so like. You feel me?

As for housekeeping, I used inks on the background, copics on the twins and bling bling metallic mica watercolours on anything silver in this piece - here is a vid on how shiny this pic is: (unedited bc me tired)

Also tagging @tmntseparatedaucompetition because this was very much meant as Gemini AU propaganda but then I got ambitious and my hands tired so I took my time when I realized there is no way to finish this before the polls ends xd But the AU is still in the tournament so let's pretend these are big ass banners that get rolled out for the next round, sponsored by Big Mama naturally~

“Your gender isn’t real” we live on a rock that is catapulting through space in an ever-expanding, possibly infinite universe

[bludhavensbirdboy]

You see two cishet characters I see a trans masc gay Eddie and a genderfluid bi steve we aren’t the same

[rainbow-sparks]

idfk just look at the babygirls :)

[boimgfrog]

drunk w my boyfriend and he was like "hey can I vent about some of my issues with the lgbtq" and I was like...okayy..cos he's an unlabeled straight-passing dude with primarily cishet friends and i was worried they mightve said smthn 2 him, and then turns out his issues are just he's noticed that trans women get a lot of hate from other gays bcos people only view transfems as predators, that trans men are treated like cute soft boys instead of grown ass men, and that a lot of white gays think being gay makes them immune to also being racist. and like. yeah dude. right on, brother. hit the nail on the head w that one.

"so what's your gender/orientation?"

queer

"More specific?"

*no*

[butchmartyr]

Ok but then why do people keep saying tme people need to stop talking about the transphobia we face, because it’s not as important as transmisogyny?

And don’t act like it never happens, it does.

(Also, even if it isn’t as big or important, why does that mean we can’t talk about it?)

i actually in fact am going to act like that never happens because it doesn’t. nobody says that. and here’s another bombshell, if they did, the vast majority of transfems (myself included) would disagree with that, because it’s insane! that call is coming from inside the house anon, you just THINK that’s what’s happening. there’s a lotta really obvious bias here that you should be working against

you don’t need to have a scarcity mindset here man we can care about multiple things! when someone says “hey, we should talk about transmisogyny because nobody talks about it and nobody seems to give a fuck”, that’s not saying “the transphobia you face is meaningless compared to us and shouldn’t be bothered with because we’re more important than you”, it’s saying that we’re hurting and dying and in the best case interpretation nobody cares and the worst case we’re being actively silenced; you need to stand with your transfem siblings. seeing women talk about their problems and ask for support should not make you think we want you to shut up forever or that your experiences don’t matter. trans women don’t want to fuck you over or silence you, we just want to be actually heard rather than just paid lip service to

edit: i and the tme people i know have never seen this (wrt to telling tme ppl not to talk abt transphobia) happen, i was exaggerating. i still think that’s fucked and shouldn’t happen, like i literally already said

I need to talk about Minecraft AU for a sec and how the difference between our world and their world makes for some of the most humorous but also interesting differences in how people act about certain subjects.

Like the trans thing right. Steve and Rana are both trans I've talked about that before. And neither of them are on hormone replacement or anything (there is an in universe explanation as to why Steve has a beard though I promise I can talk about that if anyone wants) but like that's fine bc it literally Doesn't Matter to them or anyone else. Like as spawned players they already don't have any pre-existing gender roles or ideas of what something "should" be so gender and presentation is what they make of it and there's no real solid idea in anyone's mind about how a "boy" or "girl" behaves or looks like. These are labels that exist but they barely mean anything. It also helps that any preexisting culture that WOULD have ideas of this was almost entirely destroyed like 5000 years ago (thanks Groda) so it matters even less than it already did.

And its funny bc the only two people alive from that era, White Eyes and Groda also just don't care. Groda maybe asks why Rana's voice sounds deeper once and nearly gets torn apart by Alex bc of it (Rana isn't offended or anything she just has a defensive girlfriend), bc she doesn't really understand because she never experienced anything like this first hand but very quickly comes to understand it and accept it. And on the other hand White Eyes is just like "I've seen weirder things than this" which yeah. Yeah honestly I think the person who was previously one with the undead would not care about gender in the grand scheme of things.

And then u have Kai which I've joked before that they may as well have been spawned in nonbinary. They rlly just said "I'm not really anything" and everyone was like yeah makes sense I vibe with it. Good for u.

Steve and Rana are both fairly open about having been the opposite genders previously (because that's how they view their experiences and that's valid!) and don't really shy away from the subject but also never really have much reason to talk about it since there's rarely a need to. In the modern day pretty much everyone who met them had met them post-transition. Even Alex had met them just before Steve started growing in his beard. The only people who ever knew them as Adam and Eve were Efe and Sunny but they never really thought it was weird or anything. Like the weirdest part to them was Steve saying he got his epiphany from seeing some guy in the distance on a foggy day who looked vaguely like him but that's its own subject manner that they aren't going to pry on.

Also Steve did DIY top "surgery" previously with a sword but we aren't going to talk about how messy that was for everyone involved.

it's so wild to me that there's really people out there who make up this hypothetical trans man in their heads that swans through life completely stealth. before t youre just seen as a regular woman or young boy and after t youre immediately a big strong man that 100% fits the rigid conformity men have to hit in order to be considered truly "men". fuck gnc people. fuck poc. fuck disabled men. fuck the dudes who just dont pass and never will.

but the REASON this made up trans man is so wild to me is because... i am a trans man that's been harassed about my gender! in public! by complete strangers! i am not on t. and i do not mean i was mistaken for a butch lesbian. i mean i have been clocked by several people, hurling abuse at me specifically because im a trans man. i mean i have been called faggot, tranny, asked incessantly what my gender is, backed into corners, shoved, spat at, had shit thrown at me, again, not because these people thought i was a lesbian or trans woman, but because they knew i was a trans man.

so it's insane to me youve made up this dude in your head that represents all trans men and then just... plug your ears and go LALALALALA when literally everybody in this fucking community tells you that that's not what it's like. but oh, im sorry, i forgot you watched a youtube interview with middle class passing trans male influencers and they said they get paid more, no you're right, they're just like me fr.

There’s such a specific flavor of cartoon dude I owe my whole life to? Like okay Dipper, Hiccup, and Wirt did all of the heavy lifting for my Trans Realization. I have such an ultra specific way of relating to them that it’s like “wow they’re literally me” and also “i’m mourning the loss of a childhood where I could have been them” and it’s a very bittersweet thing. I watched all of these properties on repeat when I was a kid because I so clearly saw myself in them. That shit was magical and a little confusing for a long time, and now I kind of miss it so bad it hurts. Idk I’m sleep deprived and nostalgic rn.
