I will create a base game version in the future, but for right now just skip or make up a new rule if you don't have a pack. We will be adding colour's (yes we’re Canadian), no they don't make sense with the herbs and spices, but it's fun so that's what we're going to do!! I'm playing this for the first time so things may change, please let me know if there's any mistakes or if you think of anything to add to this challenge.

look this really isn't the kind of post i'd normally make but why the fuck aren't we talking about trans rights in the uk. this is just the latest thing they've thrown at us. it's absolute shit here to be blunt.

on the 19th the uk department of education (DfE) released its guidance for schools and colleges and how they deal with trans kids

its bad. really fucking bad.

but there is some hope in that they are asking for feedback from teachers and school leaders, myself and a friend wrote a document going through why the guidelines are so awful but stopped after focusing on four points since it was. half midnight on the same day this guidance was released. we then gave this to as many teachers as we could before the holiday break and believe me it did a lot, we're working on completing a full version soon

so, uk students, i am begging you to do similar and try persuade your teachers to give feedback (if its safe for you to do so), you'd be surprised how supportive they can be if you break down what this guidance will bring

teacher feedback can be given here, the deadline is the 12th of march 2024

i'm going to go through some of the worst parts of this guidance, keep in mind that according to the education secretary gillian keegan, "this guidance puts the best interests of all children first" utter bullshit obviously

to start off throughout this whole thing they never use the word trans/transgender, just "gender questioning" which feels so fucked up to me

ok so to be blunt essentially what this is going to do is to out any trans kids who want to socially transition to their parents, as well as the fact a school can just. fucking decline any request to socially transition.

"The… guidance clarifies that schools and colleges do not have to, and should not, accept all requests for social transition."

"We are also clear how vital it is that parents are informed and involved in the decisions that impact their children’s lives."

"Parents’ views must also be at the heart of all decisions made about their children – and nowhere is that more important than with decisions that can have significant effects on a child’s life for years to come.”

oh yeah they also connote the whole "trans kids can just get permanent altering medical treatment" bs

on top of that we have this shit

"In exceptional cases where a request to social transition is agreed, children, teachers or staff at a school should not be required to adopt the use of preferred pronouns and there must be no sanction, verbal or otherwise."

so even if you're fucking allowed to socially transition people can straight up misgender you with no fucking consequences. they are legitimately making it so transphobia cant be punished

there is so much more fucked up stuff in this thing as well but you can read that yourself

they are going to kill trans kids if this goes through. they fucking know that. i have the privilege of being out to my parents and them being tolerant but so many closeted trans kids, friends of mine included, wouldn't be able to safely come out even in school. and i know personally how shitty your mental health can get in that situation.

the intent of this guidance is simply put, not in the interest of ‘protecting children’, but in the further marginalisation of an already extremely vulnerable group. they're trying to wipe us out.

uk students, please inform your teachers of what this guidance will do and get them to oppose it in feedback. others just try and spread the word

protect trans kids and fuck the tories.

#i cant keep fucking doing this it feels like every week they've got a new thing to attack us with #why the fuck is no one talking about trans rights in the uk.#protect trans kids #trans rights #uk politics #politics #uk trans rights #trans #transgender #fuck the tories #transphobia #important #avery rambles

If things were better, I could be all "Happy Pride!" here, but Pride Month is tough this year. I'm not happy. I'm sad, scared, and angry. Right-wing American politicians are doing everything they can to endanger trans people. The main focus of their attacks is trans kids. There are all kinds of lies being spread about what it means for children to be transgender and what gender affirming care for them looks like. Like all children, trans kids are figuring themselves out. Supportive, compassionate parents understand this and let them dress how they want. That's what's at the heart of my first Pride Month post this year.

Today's download lets ALL children wear ALL EAxis children's clothes. I did this to go along with all of my child CC being CU from now on. (Well, from a month or two ago on.) I have more to say about real life trans kids, so please read on after the download.

It's very simple. All EAxis kids clothes are now unisex. Many of them should have been from the start. What's masculine about a dark red Western shirt? And why can't a boy wear pink if he likes it? All kids should be allowed to express themselves how they like.

There's no swatch here, so have some Body Shop previews:

There are similar mods out there, but mine doesn't require any special installation (just put it in Downloads) and there's an All-In-One option if you have UC or all EP's and SP's. I got so much help from @goingsimcrazy and @potentialfate-sims while I was working on this. Thanks again, both of you!!

Note: DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU USE DEFAULT REPLACEMENTS THAT CHANGE THE MESH. It works fine with replacements that only change the texture.

'Nother note: Several EP's don't add any children's clothes, so there isn't a package for those EP's in the pick-n-choose version. Nothing's missing except for the xmas elf costumes, because...I hate them. Sorry. They're mostly unisex already, I think. I have hiders for them in my game.

So back to my rant about trans kids...

Anti-trans propaganda will try to tell you that evil queers are out to convert your kids. That's a lie. We don't want to make cis kids trans. We want trans kids to live to be trans adults. You can't make a cis kid trans any more than you can make a trans kid cis. Kids are who they are. I was once a femmy little boy in an AFAB body, roughhousing in a princess dress and happier playing with boys than girls most of the time. My parents, and everyone else, saw it and called me a tomboy...despite the princess dress. I'm very lucky to have had parents who let me express myself and didn't care if I ran around in the woods, as long as I took my tights off first. Trying to suppress or change kids just makes them miserable, and sometimes miserable kids die. It breaks my heart that there are parents who would rather have a dead child than a trans child.

If I could get one message to everyone this month, and have it sink in, it would be that NO ONE is doing gender confirming surgery on children. (Unless they're intersex and get mutilated without consent, in the name of conformity.) Even teens, who may be on puberty blockers or other hormones, don't have access to gender affirming surgeries. In America, it takes years and lots of money to have these surgeries. It's not something that's done lightly or on a whim.

That's an aspect of anti-trans rhetoric that bugs me deeply, "What if it's just a phase?" It almost never is. Gender affirming surgeries have some of the highest patient satisfaction ratings of any surgery. Higher than hip replacement and many other completely accepted surgeries.

Surgery is, again, beside the point when we're talking about trans kids. Say a nine year old realizes they're trans. All that changes is their clothes and hairstyle, and maybe their name. As they get a little older, they might be put on puberty blockers. Puberty blockers were developed for cisgender children who start puberty too soon. All these medications do is delay it. Once they're stopped, puberty starts back up. If the child changes their mind, it's as simple as not taking the blockers anymore.

A related truth is that trans people aren't the only ones who get gender affirming care. A cis woman who gets breast implants and a cis man taking testosterone for "low T" are both receiving gender affirming care. They don't face the stigma or roadblocks that a trans woman getting breast implants or a trans man taking testosterone face. I don't hear about American politicians trying to outlaw Viagra or Brazilian butt lifts or any of the other things cis people are allowed to do to feel "more like a woman" or "more like a man". Why should it be different for trans people?

I'll try not to go off on a tangent about how transitioning while young leads to "passing" (looking cisgender) more easily, but it does. And that can mean safety and acceptance. Passing shouldn't matter, but it often does. Forcing a young person, especially a trans girl, to go through puberty twice is cruel and potentially dangerous.

Going back to my personal experience for a moment, the idea of female puberty and "becoming a woman" horrified me as a kid. If I'd been offered the option of puberty blockers, I'd probably have taken them. I started developing breasts when I was nine and was forced to wear bras when I was ten. My adolescent and teen years were pretty horrible overall, and gender issues were part of that. I had the "not like the other girls" feeling, but knew by then that I wasn't 100% boy either. Maybe that would have been different if I hadn't gone through puberty with estrogen. I think sometimes about the man I might have been if I was younger and grew up in a world with more trans awareness. I had no idea about genders beyond the binary back then, but I recognized that there was something boy-ish about me. My friends, family, and other people saw it too. I was who I was, who I am. I'm so very lucky that my parents didn't try to force me to be girlier. Those years were hard enough.

Childhood is hard, and repressive, oppressive adults make it so much harder. I hope all the trans kids out there either have support at home or find it where they can. I wish we lived in a world where we could all just accept each other and live our lives. I want everyone to be safe and feel loved.

I could go on and on about various trans issues, but I think I've made my points about trans kids. Respect and protect them. They're valid and they deserve to grow up to be who they know they are.

[I have zero tolerance for transphobia. I will block and report anyone who replies to this with anything anti-trans.]

cis dad x trans son

Fully supporting his sons transition and swearing that hes there for anything the little one needs. Being the model parent that any trans kid would die for.

except for the look in dads eye when he drinks a little too much and his son looks a little too pretty.

those soft curves that look just close enough to his mothers for a bleary-eyed drunk to confuse the two. And a cute little tdick that separates them

son doing his best to get away as his dads booze laden breath seeps into his nose. shoving at his chest, crying and fruitlessly kicking his legs.

dad grunting and tossing his son onto his stomach, one heavy calloused hand holding him down by his back. son whimpering as his clothes are ripped away, dads heavy cock rubbing his cunt.

"n-no please..please s-stop, s not..i never-Im not a girl please" the younger cries as his fathers cock parts his slit. dad laughs and grabs him by the hips before leaning in to his ear

"if you don't want me to fuck you like mommy you must want it in your ass right? that's where boys get fucked yknow"

"n-no no no please st-stoppp"

dad grabbing his sons asscheeks and spreading them, spitting on his little hole before burying his cock into the too tight, too little boys ass.

"dont worry kiddo, at least Im fucking you like a boy, right?"

@dylan mulvaney post, im sorry tras are backing who?? What child murderer?? Is this chris chan

Recently, there was a school shooting in Nashville that resulted in the deaths of three children and three adults. The children were all nine years old, not even double digits yet. The adults were older and in their sixties.

The shooter was 28 year old Audrey Hale, a trans identified female who had made maps of the school and done surveillance of the building long before she actually attacked. Police found two assault weapons on her person and two shotguns and other weapons in her home on later investigations. She also had plans to go to another school when she was done with that one.

Since the killing of six innocent people, half of them literal children and the other half older people, all of them being harmless, trans rights activists have only been concerned for themselves and how it makes them look. Nothing for the grieving families, nothing for the traumatized children, hell, not even remorse for the children who are dead. It's all about them. If you search Trans Day of Vengence on Twitter or Tumblr, you'll find horrible displays of trans rights activists calling for violence against 'cis' people, mostly women.

Twitter has had to crack down on those posting using the tag trans day of vengeance because they are inciting violence.

The trans rights activists are now trying to make Audrey a martyr for their community, claiming that she was killed because she was trans and not because she was shooting up a school.

There are even groups of trans activists rallying their followers together to get fire arm training. Literally days after school children were killed.

Also lots of images like these are circulating.

Yes, those are assault rifles. Yes, they have gained popularity after the slaughter of school children in their classrooms. But don't point out that it's incredibly gross to be making the focus yourself after a member of your group killed six people or you get tweets like these

There is so much more and it's frankly disgusting. I know some of my fellow Radfems have already made multiple posts on this and you really should check them out but the fact remains, six innocent people were killed by a trans identified female and all the trans community cares about is themselves. Now, I'm not going to pretend that I like Christianity, or any religion for that matter, but the fact is that nobody deserves to die because of their faith, or their parents faiths as these kids were too young to believe in anything except Santa.

The trans community has rallied around a child murder, who shot up one school and had plans for another. They wound up canceling a protest at the supreme court they had scheduled because they were concerned about bodily harm coming to their protestors. Not because it would be incredibly insensitive after one of their members killed people, but because of possible threats to them.

Which Link is most likely to go for a trans surgery?

Hmmm. Well: all of them are SOME flavour of trans and/or genderqueer (I don't make the rules, except when I do, and yep: thems the rules), but I don't think many of them would actually have surgery, per se. For several reasons, which all basically boil down to this: Hyrule is a better place than the real world, and they can do cool stuff we can't do here. Behold as I infodump all over your question.

First off, my opinion is that there's less social and legal pressure within most of the game settings to conform to particular gender presentations. Which is obviously far from the sole reason why surgery would happen in the real world, but it does mean that you can decide 100% for your OWN sake, not for anyone else's. Note: Western transphobia developed under specific conditions which we don't have to transpose into fictional worlds. We can just do what we want. It's great.

Second, and this one is pretty clearly demonstrated in game lore, mechanics and dialogue: kids in Hyrule, Skyloft and the Great Ocean are treated really well compared to the real world, in that they have 1) the ability to make personal decisions WITHOUT parent consent, and 2) direct access to libraries, doctors, clothes shops, potion shops and etc. Sure, money is a factor here, but the Links at least tend to have spare cash and/or the ability to earn it. Plus, potions at least are not that expensive, nor is that one medical bill from the Oracles games from memory? Idk. If you have 50 rupees every now and then, you're probably set. So if there's a particular surgery a trans person might have in the real world as a direct result of not being able to make their own choices during puberty... that doesn't have to apply in a fictional world. Unless they either didn't know or didn't have access at the time.

Related to the above: most of the games have some form of magic and often also some form of science. I think surgery would be a last resort, used either where magic isn't available or where the magic that IS available doesn't do enough. So probably only for major changes and/or in low magic settings.

As for who, then, based on the above:

TP!Link does come from a low magic world where one of two doctors is a raging racist, and that could limit his access to HRT equivalents. The fact that he comes from a small village could also impact his access to information about being trans, though his house IS full of books and his adopted dad and childhood friend's dad ARE connected with a bunch of people across Hyrule, including the one non-racist doctor. If I didn't HC him as being intersex and totally fine with his body, he'd be my pick.

Since I do: Hyrule (ZeldaI&II!Link).

I HC him as transmasc, but I think he was probably late to put actual words to that, given he's been travelling alone since a young age. Potionsellers do exist within his world, but they're a) rare, an b) expensive. My boy is POOR. But luckily, the town healers and magicians both offer their services for free! YAY! He can get all the surgery and magical HRT he wants :) just so long as he's both cool with having a little blood spilled and able to stick around in a town long enough to recover. Which he uhh... CAN do... right?

Congrats on your top surgery, Roolie!! 🎉🎉🎉

#asks #long post #zelda lore #the important kind #legend of zelda #queer #idk if this was intended as an LU question but if it was that's fine too #queer those fools into oblivion

A story about a boy

A woman and a man fell in love

Leaving their home town

A woman and man fell in love

They traveled to settle down

Years later they had kids

How many you ask? I wouldn't know

they laughed and played and hid

One of them was a girl

She wasn't like the rest of her siblings

She didn't like being a female in this world

She played with her brothers all day and night

Her mother scolded her for being too rough for a young lady

It wasn't her fault, it just felt right

She wasn't as polite as her sister's

She loved boys clothes

She wanted be like one of those misters

Growing up she didn't play with girls, always finding the boys to more fun

Girls didn't like to exercise

While she loved to run

As a teen she realized she didn't like being a girl

Too much effort and too much things

Want she wanted was to be a boy and that made her world

She talked to people that were similar to her

They were trans and welcomed her in

She didn't remember the last time she was this happy. Ever

She decided to change and

He changed his name and loved being a guy

He loved it with his entire heart

But being himself set him apart

Parents shocked

Siblings confused

"You can't change" they said

He didn't care

He didn't listen

Being misgendered and deadnamed by parents hurt

"you're only doing it for attention" they said

He looked into a mirror

all he saw was a hurt little girl trying to be something she wasn't

He wanted to tell her that she could change

But all he saw was his pain and sadness

Maybe being a guy wasn't good

Maybe his parents were right

Maybe there was something in his head

He almost believed all those judging voices

Almost

He walked outside one day

He was 18 and already thinking about top surgery

A kid ran up to him

A huge smile on their face

It was a girl with her hair cut short

Her clothes are that of a boys

People sent judging looks to her father who was walking behind her

She ran up to him

"Hello mister! Are you like me?" She asked jumping up and down in excitement

She seemed to be around the age of 12-13

"What do you mean?" He asked confused

"Are you trans?" She asked

He thought for a moment before nodding his head

"I'm trans too! Can you help me out? I've been trying to act like a boy but I can't do it yet" He said

He stared at the boy

He saw himself in this kid when he was younger

But there wasn't anyone to help him

"Sure if it's alright with your dad" He answered

The father gave his permission

He helped the boy out

Next few weeks he scheduled an appointment for the surgery

He felt so much better after

Few years later he saw the boy that he helped out

Except the boy was bleeding

He helped him and asked what happened

The boy replied that he's been bullied for being trans

Kids nowadays don't need an excuse to be violent

If they see someone that they don't like they attack

This is also applied to adults

Politicians that say that being trans isn't right

Parents mad that their sons and daughters are being something else

Kids struggling against homophobia and transphobia

And there's no stopping it

Doesn't help that being forgotten by your own people helps

"Tran mascs have it so much harder cuz they have to work twice as hard to be considered men"

"No tran fems have it bad! They get called perverts! They have to stop being so masculine to be considered a woman!"

Just stop

We both have it hard

Arguing isn't helping anyone it's just dividing us further

The world may never accept us but at least we have each other

Right?

Hello Tumblr

I wanted to tell you that while my boyfriend was over we decided that Vietnam Hetalia had T-Girl swag and is basically like China's sister right and that China respects her pronouns and identity as a woman but thinks she was better off as a man and goes now you so ugly, your hands are like oars, you such an ugly woman. He thinks nobody will want to marry her but Vietnam doesn't care about marriage she's too busy being the most stressed out woman in the world and being married to her job. And China is super super rich but acts like he is so poor and has to save money to afford enough grains of rice to feed his kids. Most of his "kids" are actually his younger cousins that he adopted as his own kids, except for Hong Kong, who is his biological son and the one he ironically hates the most. He sold him to England for opium. China also refuses to get rid of shit even when its old and broken. Hes been using the same bong since the BC era and its 86% duct tape now. He likes Kiku because Kiku got that smart kid ultra-organized autism. But Hong Kong got that anti-social gay ass autism(my kind). He thinks hanging out with Iceland was what gave his son autism. But like if one of his kids or family members tries to come out to him as gay or trans or whatever he just waves his hand and says I dont care, as long as you marry rich I dont care. He also loves Family Guy and watches it on full volume in the living room and it annoys everyone but he doesn't care. He says Lois is the ideal wife. Based half this shit off of my boyfriend's IRL parents lets give it up for asian swag!!!

#asian swag #hws china #china #hetalia #hetalia china #china headcanons #china lore #hws japan #hws vietnam #vietnam headcanons #lore of vietnam #brother made me post this shit oh my god #hws hong kong #hetalia character's opinion on family guy: part 1 #t girl swag

There’s no way to sugarcoat this: 2023 has been a dumpster fire year for LGBTQ+ rights.

New laws attack every corner of public life – barring trans people access to health care, sports and bathrooms, erasing LGBTQ+ issues from classrooms, and allowing teachers to out queer and trans students to their parents. More than 100,000 trans kids lost access to gender-affirming care like puberty blockers or hormone therapy, even though most major American medical associations agree it is “medically necessary” to alleviate gender dysphoria.

The year forced many LGBTQ+ people to make difficult, heartbreaking decisions about an uncertain future. Some have fled their home states, and others who cannot afford to uproot their lives, rely on grants from nonprofits to travel out of state for doctor’s appointments. As the 2024 presidential election looms, many advocates, including the Human Rights Campaign, have called this moment a “state of emergency.”

“If you can’t access health care, if you can’t access community support, if you can’t talk to your teacher or your co-workers about who you are, if you can’t use the restroom in school, then you can’t exist in public life,” said Vivian Topping, who works with state specific LGBTQ+ organizations for Equality Federation. “That’s really kind of where we’re at right now.”

The conservative Christian movement has long sought to undermine queer and trans rights, in some ways a parallel to their fight to restrict access to abortion. This year’s record-breaking wave of anti-LGBTQ+ bills gives us a window into the right’s focus for next year – as Republican presidential hopefuls have already promised to push anti-trans bills on the federal level, and states have prefiled bills to further restrict LGBTQ+ youth.

Christynne Wood, a trans woman in her 60s, was the target of an anti-trans campaign earlier this year for using the women’s locker room at a California gym. After fielding weeks of a public campaign against her, what she remembers is how her community had her back.

“After all this happened, society hasn’t caught fire,” Wood told me. “This is only meant to be a form of massive discrimination that this particular political group has embraced because they have nothing else to offer except hatred, lies and misinformation.”

Read more about the past year in LGBTQ+ rights — and what to expect in 2024 — at the link.

Gender Analysis present our remarks at the Seminole County Public Schools board meeting addressing the censorship of LGBTQ+ students in the Lyman High School yearbook.

This is the two-page spread at issue. Several speakers from Moms for Liberty, Turning Point Action, and other extremists called the school staff pedophiles, called trans children demons, said their parents are groomers, and accused the board of advancing the agenda of Satan. Those were their objections to the following two pages, which are now censored and removed:

Our remarks are reproduced below. Also refer to www.floridaban.com for the referenced materials.

HEATHER: Hi, I'm Heather McNamara. I'm a parent of two Seminole County children. One's a graduate, very proud of him. I want to talk about the past for a second, because none of this is new, it's old trash. I really hope the kids here know that -- this is not new.

I grew up as many of us here did in the 80’s and 90’s, and back then, adults did not talk about LGBT stuff with kids. They were so worried about our freaking innocence, okay, and when Ellen DeGeneres came out on network television there was a huge outcry. The homophobic Defense of Marriage Act was passed, I don't even want to talk about that. Parents and children cheered. Adults said ‘God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve’, and ‘you're not gay, everyone gets curious’. Trans people weren't even discussed except on Jerry Springer, which was horrible.

I didn't know many queer kids growing up. At my high school, there was only one openly gay kid and his life was a living hell. We had a gym teacher that we were all pretty sure was a lesbian, but nobody was allowed to talk about that, especially not her. I think she was afraid for her job. Is that what we want to do again?

It was a dark time, so most of us hid ourselves. And you know what, I was exactly what some of you want your kids to be. I was afraid even to think about what I might be. I left high school believing I could live as a straight person – I think most of the rest of us did.

20 years passed, and I was able to reconnect with a lot of kids I went to high school with on social media. Scores of us have come out, because it didn't work. Because whatever you complainants may think, whatever your parental disapproval, just isn't powerful enough. Threats of hell and demons are not scary enough, and an old stupid book, a thousand times translated, and even a government isn't convincing enough to change who somebody is. Don't be your kid's first bullies. Thank you.

BOARD: Order. Order, please. Next speaker.

ZINNIA: Hi, I'm Zinnia Jones, she/her – sorry for the bad handwriting. Heather McNamara is my wife, she's crying right now because of this. I'm a proud mother of a child at SCPS and a graduate. And I'm a transgender woman. I'm 34 years old, I've been doing this for a decade. You call that a phase? I am the ‘gender ideology’ – here I stand. We are many.

We are many!

Board members, restore the censored pages of your LGBT students to their yearbook. Make this right. Calling us groomers is a historical blood libel that leads to pogroms of minorities. To kids and parents everywhere, I'll show you exactly how to stop this. Extremist groups are lying to you here about trans people being too mentally incompetent to know our own genders, and they were lying about us when they said that being trans is a contagion we're spreading to other people. That's genocidal rhetoric.

Who is responsible? The Christian nationalist legal group Alliance Defending Freedom just ordered those talking points as a legal argument from a hate group in Gainesville called the ‘American College of Pediatricians’. They are a fake group, they are not the American Academy of Pediatrics. They are not mainstream, they are about a hundred people – about 12 core members.

The Alliance Defending Freedom ordered those talking points. The talking points came first, the evidence was an afterthought, just like Big Tobacco hiring experts to manufacture doubt that smoking causes cancer. Go read the Southern Poverty Law Center today. Go read FloridaBan.com today, to see their actual documents we uploaded where they planned and workshopped these anti-trans talking points themselves.

This ends now!

I want these queer and trans kids busting open these conspiracies against their lives in the pages of that yearbook. That's journalism. You're only coping with the fallout of this because of a governor who's faced allegations of committing acts of torture against detainees at Guantanamo who were later freed. That is not political, that's the Geneva Convention. Torture is a war crime. [mic is cut] Committing torture would make someone a war criminal. Is he even following the law?

Pride Month Triple Feature Finale: Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling (Commission for Weird Kev 27)

Well this last installment is a bit late, but any month can be pride month if you belivie in yourself, so we end this pride month trilogy with Rocko’s Modern Life Static Cling, something i’ve been wanting to cover for years, but usually something came up or I realized I forgot to include it by the time the schedule was already full up. But with violence, legeslation, and outright bigotry towards Trans Persons only escalating, it felt like the right time.

For those not as familiar with Rocko, quick refresher: Rocko’s Modern Life was one of the earliest Nicktoons, created by Joe Murray and being a hit not just with the networks target demo, but adults who related to the series, a 20 something hang out sitcom but with all the lunacy animation allows. Our Rocko, his doofy friend Heffer and nerdy best friend Philbert dealt with nipples of the future, death, time travel with the elderly, elves, and recyling. The show was very of it’s time but also timeless as MANY of the fairly adult subjects it tackled in it’s unique goofy way still resonate: the show tackled topics like your parents not approving of a mixed marriage, the struggles immigrants face, homosexuality (via clowns), a sexually unsatisfying marriage leading to a wondering eye (done ENTIRELY straight to the point the episode was banned), finding out your adopted, bosses treating their workers like a commodity instead of a person, megacorporations running our lives, credit card debt, and even sex work

youtube

It’s thanks to Rocko we have classics like Regular Show, it’s successor Close Enough and Tuca and Bertie. The kind of show that uses wacky humor while still showing some very real shit we have to deal with.

So in hindsight. .it’s not really a stretch that with changing times, rocko would go from having to use clowns to cover queerness to doing a full coming out episode in it’s revivial special, a pogniant well done story that deeply reconteculaizes a beloved character

Pig you’ve been out since 1996.

So let’s look at this touching tale and all the other neat stuff just in time for the show’s 30th anniversary shall we?

Static cling follows our boy, his bulbous buddy and his somethign else rhyming with b , picking up where we left off.. and the original finale to the series had our heroes shot up into space, returning as the elderly. The last part is stricken from the record Roseanne style, and instead our heroes have largely settled in: Filburt misses his wife tails, he misses her a lot, but otherwise our heroes are doing fine on fatheads reruns... till Filburt notices the remote has been jammed up Heffer’s butt for the past decade, they fight as usual and Rocko has to scream at them to “PUSH THE BUTTON”. TV’s Frank would not abide.

SO with that our heroes return to earth. There’s also a nice small joke in that... most people really aren’t phased our heroes were gone 20 years: while we sadly dont’ get a scene with Heffer’s family , easily one of my faviorite parts of the series with Rocko’s dinner visit being one of my faviorite episodes, we do get to see his beaver hating grandpa, with all his innuendo glory, the only change being

And Filburt naturally easily reunited with Hutch because their perfect and we need that. It’s like our heroes were never gone for the most part. The real exception is ROcko.. and i’ts easy to why: Filburt had a wife and four adoring children eager to finally get to know their dad. Heffer’s family is implictly there and his grandpa is still around only now he can posses lawn gnomes. Nothing’s really changed for either in a way that harms them. Filburt missed most of his kids’ lives, but they seem to have grown up fine. In contrast when you think about it.. no one was really waiting for Rocko. He hit it off with Shiela well, but that was one episode towards the end. I mean he could look her up on face-o-rama, or something, so ti’s not lost, but when you think about the series with his family in australia.. all Rocko had were his friends, mrs. bighead (who warmly welcomes the guy back and gives him some needed support), and Spunky. Rocko really has nothign to come back to: his job is gone and while his friends adapt to the 2010′s really well... it’s all too much. it also makes sense: Heffer always went with the flow and while Filburt seems a bit too accepting on paper, he’ sa giant nerd in a world where he can livesteream being nauseous and blather about his opinons for an adoring public. I mean I woudnln’t of had the tools to do this when the show aired. I was two and the internet wasn’t easy to come by. Six maybe.

While the montage of various “new” things was.. dated even by when it came out and is kinda just there outside of Schlammo, the unhealty energy drink , it hammers home that while his friends have accepted the present.. Rocko is lost in it. He was never one to easily accept new trends in the show itself, usually being pulled into things like health clubs or credit cards by Heffer, so it’s entirley in character that being stuck in a world 20 years later with nothing to really hold him there shatters his normal optimisim. I’ts pretty heartining to see rocko shattered a bit when bev finds him. It makes her trying to support him and help him heartwarming.. but it can’t really fix the problem of feeling like the world’s passed you by. It was striking to realize how deep Rocko’s story comes off, a story about nostalgia and how it can help us when we feel lost.. but how we can cling to it as our only salvation. I’ll admit to having dived into my various coping mechanisms, comics, games, tv, youtube, to escape... and to have a minor panic attack if one’s missing, so I may just relate to rocko a bit.. but it still works. It also kicks off the plot as the fatheads is gone, and Rocko badly needs it. HIs cries for it fall on deaf ears for mr bighead though, who just oopsied at work.. and now his world is collapsing for real, with his job gone and his house soon to be gone. “A tv show won’t solve your problems rocko”. It’s a simple statment.. but one that’s true. TV can offer an escape.. but it’s not going to fix what’s wrong with yoru life. It’s the thesis statment of this special. Granted it can at least save ed’s job and house and conglomo as the special revenue would do it. It’s heavily spoofing how much companjies rely on these revivials and nostalgia pops, with the series lovingly mocking how much money fans think a rocko special would bring nick.. and then accidnetly being accurate as while Static Cling didn’t bring in millions upon millions of dollars, it was still a success all the same.

The problem is the head of congolmo wants the chameleon twins to make it cheap with CG. I mean grante dth eproblem is the fatheads also you know.. ende din the run of the show, but honeslty i’m willing to ignore that for what a good story it is and it could easily be said Rachel just had to go back and make more to pay the bills or something. This was also built both off the actual rumors, that later came true of a CG Rugrats reboot, which honestly dosen’t LOOK bad. So with that our heroes decide to search for the series creator, “Ralph” Bighead, who disappeared during the time skip, as all the money, all the success didn’t make them happy. We get some fun gags including a faviorite of mine “Culturally ambgious pillows”, as our heroes tour the world to find the creator. And thus about halfway into the special they find them int he desert.. and find out why no one had seen them. See while they last saw them as “Ralph”.... our heroes instead find RACHEL Bighead.

And honestly ti’s excellently done for the most part. Before we get to all the good let’s get the elephant out of the room: Joe Murray should not have continued playing rachel. Joe.. is a cis man. A cis man should nto play a trans woman. I can however accept this wasn’t done with any malcious intent, and was likelky done to hide that Rachel was trans now, as the special has it as a twist, wtih Rachel having a hat on and only revealing their trans by steping out of her fatheads foodtruck. Having a new VA might give that away. I still wish they’d swapped them but I get Joe meant well. I mostly get that.. because everything ELSE is done well. When you look back on who rachel was.. they were miserable. They had all the money in the world, but could never find creative fufillment with the fatheads, to thepoint they tried sabotaging a followup with wacky delli. I mean we got the cheese, the best character in the show, but Rachel never found fufillment. It was only by realizing who they always were and making their body into what they truly always wanted that Rachel is happy. Said happiness.. allows her the reconciatlion with her creatoion she never got in the original show, selling fatheads freezie pops. She found a new art, the life she alwasy wanted she’s content. She even refuses to do the special, and rightfully so: while the creator SHOUDL revivie a work if possible, if they don’t want to.. they shoudlnt’ be forced to. Rachel only agrees because her parents are in danger. I also love the acceptance rachel gets: the boys all think it’s neat and instantly accept it, as you should. The reveal itself is simply done: Rachel steps out, says “I’m rachel now”.. and the boys all think it’s neat and accept it, attaching their drone to the ice cream truck and flying off. Bev also fully accepts it, happy their daughter’s happy and even finding her some cute shoes. It makes sense for all involved: while all from the 90′s, Rocko’s group has always been an accepting bunch for the most part, while Bev was always the parent that accepted their kid more. It’s harder for Ed.. but it’s a well done harder. He’s bigoted, and potrayed as stupidly as that sounds: he rejects the idea of the special simply because he rejects the idea he has no son but a daughter. I also like the stealth pun there: he once claimed he had no son when he disowned rachel.. and it turns out he never did. Everyone around him rightfully sees this as stupid, and it’s portrayed as such, but what i Like is that they play this realistically. Instead of Ed throwing out slurs or throwing a tantrum, which sadly could very well happen, he just disowns his child, again, and storms off. He can’t accept a trans daughter because to him it’s a change. To Rachel.. it’ sbeing who she was always meant to be. Rachel ends up still making the special, remembering her past, including biting ed’s eye as a baby.. and using that. And while Ed has to be dragged to the premiere, as many a person has to be dragged into acceptaince... it’s said work that helps Ed see what a fool he’s been. Rachel reworks the fatheads.. but now includes a baby based on themselves. It adds great new jokes to the bit.. but it’s the last one, a reinactment of her “damaging her fathers retina”.. that makes Ed realize what he shoudl have all along: this is his child and who they always were. Being a woman not only allowed them to be happy.. but it dosen’t change who they are.. because this is who they ALWAYS were. And what helps is that... Rachel didn’t NEED ed’s acceptance. Their disapointed, but when he wails no at it, she simply says yes. They do the short because, even if Ed dosen’t accept her, she wont’ leave her parents homeless and still loves them both. And it’s ED who has to come around and accept that he has a daughter, he always did.. and that’s wonderful. We also get Rocko.. not accepting the change. A baby, how dare he.. but ed talks him down, getting to the point of the special in a truly lovely speech.

“Rocko we can’t live in the past, we can be grateful for it, but life isn’t permenant, and if we don’t embrace what’s now, we miss out on a lot of the important stuff. “ I couldn’t of said it better myself and belivie me i’ve tried. And it’s a perfect message for this special.. and for Rachels’ story. embrace what you have, not what you thought you had. This special is phenominal, with tons of great gags, a truly amazing story at the core, and lots of great cameos in some lovely animation. Check it out wether your new to rocko or want to revisit an old friend. Thanks for reading and happy belated pride.

person on twitter:

You shouldn’t put your kids’ private info (including details of their personal lives) or faces/pictures online until they both are old enough to be fully informed about all of the risks of being online and, while being informed of those risks, consent to you doing that. 😁

Once you put your kids online, you can never fully take that stuff offline. If they grow up and decide that anything you chose to share about them isn’t something they want to be publicly available for literally everyone on the planet, they have no choice. You took it from them.

We say “the internet is forever” for a reason. Even if you delete all the posts, you can never fully erase them. All the time that the posts were up doesn’t just disappear, either, so it’s already affected them. No other permanently life-altering decision is treated so casually.

Kids have a right to privacy and autonomy. If you care about them you will protect that right, even when it’s boring or inconvenient to do so.

As for sharing anonymized info about your kids online without their fully informed consent: it isn’t actually anonymous if too many details are shared, if not enough details are altered, or if you aren’t fully anonymized yourself. Also, anonymous stuff can still hurt your kid.

Even if it’s anonymous, if you find out someone publicly posted online about a very sensitive private issue like a mental health crisis or an embarrassing experience, you probably would feel pretty violated. Kids, like you, are people, and have feelings.

There are certain things which are anonymous and innocuous enough that it’s probably fine, like “I made my kid a grilled cheese today and he dropped it on the couch” probably won’t do any damage, but you don’t realize just how immensely careful you must be about that stuff.

Things which to you seem like innocent funny stories might be really hurtful to your kid if you share without permission. If you’re sharing online, you can never take it back—if that hurts your kid, it hurts them for life. Every time you post about them, remember that.

there are probably some exceptions and nuance to this but I really think that posting your children online without their consent, whether it be private stories about what they said or did or pictures/video, is a major example of patriarchal youth oppression and dehumanization 🧵

when you think about what parents are posting private details about what kids, it’s usually the disabled kids who have their privacy violated the most, particularly autistic ones

I know so many stories of those kids growing up to be traumatized and horrified as teens/adults

you’ve also probably seen the transphobic/TERF abusive parents who share extremely sensitive and private information about their trans kids without those kids’ consent, often to make public transphobic attacks against them and to reinforce their own oppressive power

I remember one post went viral on here a while back of a 15 year old trans teenager making a reddit post explaining about their TERF mother’s transphobic posts about them, apologizing for the trans kids their mother has hurt and discussing how much it had hurt them to experience.

they mentioned specifically that their internet use was being monitored and so they didn’t have much time to write the post—they did not even have the autonomy to speak about the abuse they endured publicly, to fight back. posting about them was an abuse tactic for their mother.

so, also, was internet surveillance. the oppression of youth is structured so the youth are always being monitored, surveilled—and they are given the least awareness of the world around them possible, caged in to the oppressive environment. this is hugely exemplified online.

the most marginalized kids are made into a dehumanized online spectacle by parents. almost always, when private or sensitive info about a kid goes online without their consent, it’s “look how disabled/queer/weird this creature is, look how good of a person I am for tolerating it”

or, sometimes it’s not even as polite as that, and it’s more like “do not believe my child or people like them when they tell you anything, believe me and people like us, the people who oppress them”

there is a great investment in discrediting the voices of marginalized youth

again, there are probably exceptions to this, but not as many as people probably think—even if it’s not harmful, informed consent should be required from a child before permanently putting their info or face onto the internet, an irreversible and potentially dangerous thing

the reason it’s so hard to talk about this is that the vast majority of people agree with the patriarchal oppression of children, even if they think they don’t—they laugh at the idea of children having rights and autonomy, of needing their consent to do something to them

hello!! could you perhaps write a will byers x transmasc reader? the reader is struggling with dysphoria, and will would try to help in the best way he can :) have a lovely day <3

Oh my- you have no idea how happy this request makes me! And yes I can absolutely do that.

Will Byers x Ftm!Reader

Romantic/Platonic/Unspecified

Pronouns: He/Him

D/n [Deadname]

Summary: Will comes to visit you in Hawkins from California right before you start freshman year. Even in the little time you were apart Will matured alot. Physically and mentally. As for you...

TW's/Disclaimers: Dysphoria, Implied Homophobia, Childhood Trauma, idk anything else :/

You nervously bounce your leg as you wait for Steve's car to pull into the familiar gravel driveway. Will was coming to visit after moving to California over the summer. Will had already started school and was about 2 months in.

In Hawkin's, school started later in the year because of what happened at Star Court on July 4th. Not that you were complaining, it saved you from the annoyingly jugdy kids at school.

You looked out the window again and let out a puff of air when you saw it was empty. With Steve being your brother and your... absent, parents, you were really free to do whatever you wanted.

You always knew you didn't really feel comfortable with being referred to with feminine terms so when you were in the 4th grade you asked Steve to cut your hair. And from there you somehow got everyone to call you y/n, even the teachers, and it was as if d/n never existed. Even to your friends. And especially to Will.

So, yes. You were a closeted trans man in the 80's, with a boyfriend. You were like a target for bullies and that was the last thing you wanted to drag Will or your friends into, so you never told them.

You looked around at your surroundings and sighed. You thought it would be a good idea to station everything at the old Byers residence. They turned everything off, like the electricity and the landline, except for the plumping. Meaning you had a working bathroom and kitchen. Yay.

You stand up from your spot on the floor and walk down the hall to the bathroom. You planned to just do a quick once over in the mirror to make sure you didn't look like a complete mess. And to be honest, it was just that, a once over. Fixing your hair a bit and straightening your hoodie.

But when you glance down you notice the slight outward curve of your chest, the result of not wearing your chest binder. It wasn't anything fancy, just one used for costumes in theaters. That meant you couldn't wear it for more than a couple hours.

You jump a bit when you hear the repeated honking coming from the front of the house. Look in the mirror one last time and slouch the best you can to cover your chest. You already had bad posture so it looked pretty normal.

Running to the front of the house you yank open the front door and stare at the boy getting out of the car. When he steps out he immediately makes eye contact with you and smiles. Oh, that smile.

Shutting the car door, Will makes his way over to you. You smile and meet him halfway, throwing your arms around his middle, his around your shoulders. Will laid his head in top of yours and chuckled lightly.

"Hey." He says simply. You look up at him slightly and take in his face. His hair was shorter, his face was more defined, and he was ALOT taller than you now. Tall enough for your head to fit perfectly under his chin.

"Hi." You breathe out. You look behind Will to makes sure your brother was gone, and sure enough, he was. Will bags sat lazily in the driveway. You turn back to Will and lean up a bit, Will looking surprised but understood, leaned down.

Your lips meet in the middle and it made you want to cry. This would have been your breaking point in the bathroom but something else happens.

Will puts a hand on your cheek and slowly slides it under your chin, and scratches. He fucking scratched your chin. You pull away to see a hysterical Will.

"Dude. Did you just scratch my fucking chin? Do I look like a cat to you?" You pull away from your boyfriend and deadpan at him as he tries to pull you back while laughing a bit. He pecks the corner of your mouth and pulls you into another hug, his chin on your head again.

"Hm, well, you share similarities."

"Fuck you."

You and Will spent the entire day with the party, traveling from the arcade to to the cinema and then back to Will's old house.

Over the course of a couple hours everyone started to leave, going home due to curfews. After everyone left, leaving you and Will by yourselves, you lead Will out to the back of the house and out into the woods.

"Where the hell are you taking me?" He laughed, he stumbled over a dip in the ground and grabbed your arm for balance.

"You'll recognize in a second." You smiled warmly at him. Will couldn't help the grin that spread across his face when you smiled at him.

He couldn't beleive he found someone that actually liked and cared for him. Not to mention was not only ok with his sexuality but had the same feelings as he did.

As you pulled Will into the clearing everything seemed to click for him. Castle Byers. It was still destroyed but there none the less. Will felt small tears in the corner of his eyes, the hurt and realization of what he did to the small structure all rushing back to him.

"I know that Castle Byers was more between you and Jonathan but I thought I could help you rebuild it or if not we could just-" You were cut off by Will pulling yoyr body into his, your head hitting his chest.

You instantly wrapped your arms around his torso when you felt drops hit your neck. Will had burried his nose into your neck, his hands placed on your waist.

"I'm sorry..." He hiccuped. You pulled his face from your neck and placed a hand on the back of his head.

"Hey, why are you sorry? I shouldn't have taken you here. I knew this was between you and Jonathan, I just wanted to make you feel better." You frowned at Will when he shook his head at you.

"No it's not that, I guess I just haven't gotten over everything that has happened in the last 3 years." He laughed. He wiped his cheeks with one hand, keeping the other on your waist.

"Understandable. I still haven't gotten over everything everything either. You went through a rough time with the mind flayer, the Demogorgon, and Mike." You said the last part bitterly making Will smile. He nodded and grabbed your hand, fiddling with your fingers a little.

"Can we go back to the house and just, lay down? No, fuck- how do people ask this? Cuddle? Is that weird?" Will said shyly. In that moment you felt all the color drain from you face. Hugging was one thing. Will was usally very gentle with his hugs, so the close proximity wasn't a problem.

But cuddling? Will would smother you with as much love and affection as he could. You know that for a fact because he talks about it all the time. You two never get a moment together so you never do more than sit on the couch together with Will's arm around your shoulder.

You knew it. It was going to happen some day but you never thought that day would be today. This is the day Will finds out about your chest. About everything.

So here you are now, your back pressed against Will's chest as you lay on the piled up blankest and pillows. You can feel Will's breath on the back of your neck as you both enjoy each others company.

You smile as you hold Will's hands that are wrapped around your torso. This wasn't as bad as you thought it would be-

"Hey." Will whispered, his lips bairly brushing the nape of your neck.

"Yeah?" You whispered back. You felt him rub his thumb on your side.

"Can you face me? I wanna hug you." There it was.

"I-huh-sure." You reluctantly turned to your other side and faced Will. He looked at you for a second and placed a kiss on your temple. You watched as Will's eyebrows pulled together in confusion

"Are you alright? Your whole body is really tense." You were intentionally holding your arms in front of your chest and trying to keep a decent gap between you and Will.

You nodded and tried to untense your body, to calm Will's concerns. It didn't really work though.

"Come here." Will tried to pull you closer but your stupid body's first instinct was to fully retract its self from Will.

Shit.

Will's eyes went wide with hurt as you quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. You opened the door, not even bothering to close it all the way[big mistake], and yank your hoodie over your head.

You stand in front of the mirror in the bathroom, standing there in only a regular bra. Your arms had no muscle to them, your waist was curved and defined, your face was rounded out compaired to actually having defined cheekbones.

Everything was wrong.

It wasn't as it should be.

You stand there and cry, not knowing that Will stood by the door, peeking in through the crack and listening. Listening to your heart breaking sobs. He didn't even care about the fact that you clearly did not have a flat chest.

He just wanted you to be ok.

He slowly creaked open the door, making your heart drop. You turned to look at a surprised but teary eyed Will. You felt everything come crashing down when Wills eyes ran up and down your body.

You completely break down. You crouch down onto the floor and hug your knees to your chest. Your chest.

Will stood there in shock and sadness. He didn't know what to do. If he was being honest, he was usally on the other end of this.

Will slowly walks over to you and sits next you on the wall.

"I-um." Will pauses to breathe out and then continues. "I'm not mad just, hurt, you didn't tell me." You didn't look up. You were scared of what you would find.

"This doesn't change how I see you. You're still you. You're still the same guy that made me step back and go 'Whoa, he's pretty' " Will turns to look at you and grabs your hand, interlacing your fingers, making you look at him.

When you do Will leans in and places a gentle and caring kiss on your lips. You sat shocked for second but quickly returned it.

You both pull away and Will touches his forehead to yours.

"You're still the same guy I fell in love with." Will let's a few tears slip past his eyes as he pulls you into a hug. You silently sob into his shoulder while Will rubs your back.

"I feel like I've been gaslighting you from the beginning. I'm not a real guy. You like guys. I don't have a flat chest or a dick-" Will laughs and puts your face in between his hands.

"Y/N! I don't care if you have a dick or not! I love you for you." Will grins at you, brushing the hair stuck to your forehead away.

"Will from my knowledge gay guys like men with dicks." You frown at him.

"Well then stop grouping me with other gay guys. You are a guy. And to be honest, I never really cared for what's under the clothes. I was never really-uh, interested, in that kind of stuff." Will's cheeks turn pink as he looks down at his lap, trying to avoid contact.

"So, what does that mean, exactly?" You asked timidly. Will looked at you with the most astonished look on his face.

"Are you kidding? After everything I just said you still don't understand?" Will laughed and put his face in his hands as you shook your head. "Your going to make me say it, aren't you?" Will sighed and kissed your head, letting his lips linger.

"You are the only one for me y/n Harrington." Will mumbles against your forehead. You smile and pull him into a quick kiss, quickly pulling back to hug him.

You both sit there, you straddling Will legs while you hold each other, unmoving from the bathroom floor. Until you remember something.

"Love." You say quietly into Will shoulder. Will pushes you back a bit to look at you, giving you a quizzical look.

"Huh?"

"Earlier, you said you loved me..." You breathed put refusing to look Will in the eyes. Will's eyes went wide.

"I-I guess I did. I hope that's ok." You grinned at Will and nodded happily.

"More than ok."

After the bathroom ordeal Will kind of disappeared for a while. He assured you that he would be back but you were still nervous due to everything that happened earlier.

You were sitting on the pile of blankets from earlier and eating a package of poptarts while reading a book. It distracted you a little and calmed your nerves slightly.

After maybe 30mins or so Will walked out of his old room, where you and his bags were, holding a roll of socks.

You raised an eyebrow at Will when he stopped in front of you, holding out the hand holding the socks.

"Uh, thanks?" You say, slowly taking the socks from Will "I-uh, what am I supposed to do with these? I'm already wearing socks." Will's whole face was bright red.

"I um, I just thought- I saw this thing in a book where on stage for theater productions where the opposite gender played a male role they would put a sock in their pants to make it look like a- uh..." Will looked down and put his face in his hands, shaking his head in embarrassment.

You had to think for a split second before it hit you.

"WILL! Did you just to tell me to put a sock in my pants so it looks like I have a dick?!"

"I'M SORRY!"

I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED. I enjoyed writting the last part. I love giving others and myself second hand embarrassment :D

PUH-LEASE do Transmasc!Jay!!!! He's my absolute favorite, and I can't help but think he's trans (totally unrelated to me also being trans ;])

Thank you <333333

-your loyal anon

yeahhhh!!! I'm so glad someone asked this jay has those vibes So Bad (also unrelated to me also ALSO being trans)

transmasc jay pride month headcanons!

Jay has the classic trans guy story: when he was little, he was very upset by the fact he couldn't go to the bathroom the same way his dad did. he got the sonic mcdonalds toy instead of the sofia the first toy, he refused to wear any color except blue for a year straight, and he called multiple people stupid when they called him a girl. his parents, after some hesitation, tried raising him as a boy, and within a few months they knew it was the right decision

Jay had a phase in which he LOVED bird watching and would force his parents to go on long hikes with him outside of the yard to find different birds. his favorite was the blue jay, so he named himself after it (and his parents had to convince him not to add the "blue" part to his legal documents)

he didn't think too hard about it as a kid since it all came naturally to him. he just took his meds (aka puberty blockers) and wore the clothes he liked and he got to be called Jay now!

then as he got older and travelled more outside the yard, he realized that he was in a less than common situation. since he was pretty closed off from the rest of the world, he started to wonder if he was the only one who felt like his sex didn't match his gender

he tried to push those thoughts away and continued his transition by starting testosterone when he was around 15. he adopted a peppy and loud personality to shut out his depressive thoughts (and occasionally to drown out a transphobe)

by the time he joined the ninja, it was virtually impossible to tell that Jay was trans. he never developed a chest or got periods because of the puberty blockers and then hormone therapy he received. while his voice was sort of high, it wasn't girly, and he introduced himself as Jay Walker, a Normal Guy™

for a while he was downright terrified of telling anybody. it was hard to guess if any of the ninja were transphobic since they didn't really talk about things like that

eventually there was a moment where somebody, maybe Cole, mentioned a trans person they knew and Jay made a bad joke like "what? there's TWO of us now?!" and then he had to act as casual as he could while he explained what he meant

Jay was relieved when the ninja mostly shrugged it off with a few "thanks for telling us" and "we're proud of you". they all agreed it didn't change anything and Jay only let himself cry over the anxiety of it all once he went to bed. he woke up the next day feeling lighter than ever

he started to meet a lot of trans people after that, mostly from looking around online, and was relieved to know so many people had the same experience

he continues to be subtle about being trans, with the exception of pride month when he breaks out the pins and shirts and flags. he likes to annoy Kai by waving little flags in his face

I also feel like Jay would like neopronouns, just a little spark/sparkself or really anything related to lighting. he thinks they're fun!!

#me projecting the experience I wish I had onto lego characters :D YIPPEE MOMENT #ninjago #lego ninjago #ninjago headcanons #ninjago pride month #jay walker #ninjago jay #trans character

Hello! Idk if you’re requests are open but if they are would you be able to write Jane doe/penny lamb x gn or transmasc reader?? Kinda like before the accident reader and Jane hang out in the bus together then do their own things around the fair like wining eachother gifts or going on couple/duo rides?

My requests are always open! Of course, I'll write that scenario. For all my Mischa lovers, I'm sorry for not feeding you any Mischa content, I promise after this request that I'll post more Mischa content soon!

Anyways, here's your order of Jane Doe/Penny lamb where she goes in the tunnel of love and wins gifts together with her boyfriend, (Y/N). (I'll make (Y/N) transmasc as the request suggested)

We're also almost at 100 followers, and I'm literally so happy. I started taking writing requests on this blog with 10 followers, and I'm already almost at 100! Idk how to thank you guys enough for this! Also, happy new year!

The tunnel of love (Jane Doe/ Penny Lamb x transmasc!reader)

(𝓨/𝓝)'𝓼 𝓟𝓞𝓥

Today was a very exciting day for me. You might wonder why, and the answer is really simple yet a little childish. Today I'm going to a fair together with my choir buddies and my girlfriend, Penny, from the request of Father Marcus.

I was trying to keep my excitement very hard, but it was still very obvious that I was enthusiastic about this event. Ever since I was younger, I've always been excited to go to Fairs, Carnivals, Circuses, you name it. I used to beg my parents to take me to them right before the grand opening. I mean, who wouldn't be excited to go to a special event, especially if you lived in a small town like I lived in.

"Hey, (Y/N)? What are you thinking about?" Asked my girlfriend, Penny. She was the first person that I came out to as being trans, and she made me feel the happiest when she gladly accepted me. I smiled at her, feeling joyous about the fair.

"I'm just really happy that we're going to the fair! Aren't you excited too?" I asked her.

She nodded, with a smile on her face. "Of course I am! Who wouldn't be when you can have fun together with your partner and friends?"

"Yeah! You're right!" I laughed as "Angeleyes" by ABBA was playing in the background. We all began singing, except for Penny. I looked at her confused, but she just smiled at me.

Once we arrived, I was in awe. Unlike the last years, the fair was bigger and looked like it was full of people of different ages and sizes.

"So kids, I'll let you all ride whichever rides you want. Be sure to come back here before 06:30 PM, when we have to go back to the school building!" Father Marcus said.

"Yes sir!" We all exclaimed at him as we went different ways. Father Marcus smiled at us, before going to a hotdog stand that was near the entrance. I took Penny's hand, and we began looking for something fun that we can do.

"So, what do you want to do first?" Asked Penny, as I took a map of the fair to look at the rides that we can ride. My eyes immediately landed on "The cyclone" ride, the gem of Uranium's fair. People even came from all over the world, just to ride "The Cyclone". I never went on it, but I and my friends made a plan that we'll go on it last.

"Hm...How about we first go to..." I looked to see what kind of ride or place we could go to. I looked to my right and saw a winning prize game with pokemon plushies. Eureka!

"How about we go to the pokemon prize game? I can get you a plush if you want!" I suggested. Penny smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, We can get matching plushies!" She giggled. I took her hand, and we walked to the pokemon prize game, which was a bust-a-balloon game. The man at the stand gave us 5 darts, and we had to aim at the balloons so that we can get a prize.

Penny used 2 darts, and I used 3 darts. She surprisingly popped 2, meanwhile, I also popped 2.

We were both given two matching Shaymin plushies, and we smiled at each other.

"What should we name them..." Asked Penny as we were walking to the cotton candy stand.

"How about...Hmm..." I began looking at the stands so that I can get an idea. My eyes landed on a popcorn stand and a nachos stand. "How about Nachos and Popcorn?" I laughed.

"Haha! That's a funny idea! Fine then, Nachos and Popcorn will be their names." Responded Penny, hugging Nachos.

"Ooh! Wanna go to the tunnel of love?" I wiggled my brows as a joke as I pointed at the tunnel of love ride.

"Actually, that sounds fun!" Giggled Penny. "Let's go!" She said as she took my hand and we ran to the tunnel of love.

Once we got there, we paid the two people at the stand, and we got in a boat. The place looked like those tunnels of love that you'd see in cartoons. The tunnel was heart-shaped, and there were statues of iconic couples from history, like Romeo and Juliette, Aphrodite and Ares, and many more. It made me giggle a little from how funny the decorations were. They were all pink and tacky, but it made the place have a personality.

The only thing that seemed off was the "Keep your hands inside the boat" that was very big and bold. Ok then, Mr. Obvious, I'll keep my hands inside the boat.

"This was a bad idea-WOAH!" I yelled as the ride began working. At first, the tunnel looked dark, but there were animatronics there to bring the mood, but which made it actually look more hilarious than romantic.

After what seemed like an eternity, we finally exited the ride. Instead of kissing or anything, we both were laughing at the decorations there.

"Thank you (Y/N)! I wouldn't have had a fun time if it wasn't for you!" Said Penny as she gave me a small peck on the lips. I blushed a little, and she began giggling.

"Oh, it's almost time when we need to go on the Cyclone like we promised to the rest of the group!" I panicked as I took my flip phone out and looked at the time. "Tag, you're it!" Laughed Penny.

"Hey!" I began laughing as I began chasing her. This day surely was the best one yet, even if we're just getting to the best part.
