an important writing question to ask yourself is "how much time and effort do i want to put into figuring out what this character's legal documents would look like"
#newt has THE MOST BULLSHIT COMPLICATED backstory for this i stg
#born out of wedlock in west germany in 1990 when the two germanies were IN THE MIDDLE of reuniting but not done yet
#and then almost immediately moved to the united states with his dad because his parents broke up
#which seems to imply his dad got full custody?? which seems at least a little weird for the time period
#could not figure out if it was even legally plausible because TWO GERMANIES
#but both parents wanted his dad to have full custody so like... maybe??
#anyway what fucking citizenship does he have. i dont even know
#was thinking dual but germany doesnt like dual
#so that might only work if his dad transmitted american citizenship to him like a bloodline curse
#but i think that only works if his dad was already a citizen when he was born and his dad is german so THAT would mean-
#*insert that one gif of charlie day with the pepe sylvia conspiracy board*
#so maybe he just has american citizenship???
#i dont know how that works either...
#and then when im writing him hes trans on top of all that
#which makes all this relevant unfortunately! could this man have gotten a legal name change circa 2010?
#i THINK so?? im probably just going to handwave it?? but AARGH
#i dont LIKE handwaving these things because like
#anachronisms with trans characters & the transition process always bug me a bit
#im almost 10 years younger than newt but i remember shit was DIFFERENT even back in like. 2014.
#this isnt a legal thing but i remember before there was a nonbinary pride flag. we shared the purple-white-green genderqueer one
#well. 'we' including me at the time. im a man now
#and surgery has changed! no-nip top surgery was really rare to hear about before like... even just a few years ago?
#im sure it was happening but it's way more common now than it was in like 2020
#and i didnt even know trans people existed until like 2010
#the first time i saw a trans character in ANY work of fiction was 2011
#personal
#unscientific aside
#im way off on a tangent now i forget if i was going to say anything else
#good enough hit post
