#AND A TRANS ALLEGORY

If there’s one thing I’m gonna do I’m gonna defend things that conservative straight males took over after completely missing the point

the public reaction to i saw the tv glow is like a perfect case study into how cis people take up queer spaces and unknowingly mock and enjoy trans suffering. sitting in the theater, i had a pit in my stomach the entire time. so many times, i would tear up and then someone else in the theater would laugh. and i wouldn’t cry because how would they look at me when the lights came back on? because they don’t see it. they don’t see the pain. they think it’s funny. i left the theater completely silent, not saying a word to my boyfriend and he didn’t say a word to me until partway into the drive home. the people around us immediately got to picking it apart, explaining what it all meant to each other, dumbing it down, making theories. cis people see the the movie, just like transness, as something to debate. a conversation. something to dissect because it makes them uncomfortable if they don’t understand it in their easily digestible way.

I gotta say, everything about Lycion from Dungeon Meshi is some kinda mood.

and can we talk about the arched back Fleki is doing once mounted up >_> ?

Kayne and John being trans allegories who hate each other has to be the funniest bit of Malevolent to me.

John got his name from Arthur being a John Doe in a coma for a month, and Kayne I’m pretty sure picked his name on the spot after Arthur asked, and it’s probably meant to be a joke about him literally killing every other version of himself.

Which, you could make a joke about that being his social transition, that’s all I’m saying.

Also Kayne “it’s not about the names we’re given, it’s about the names we choose” Malevolent thinks John’s chosen name sucks and he should have picked a better one. Supporting each other’s transitions but that doesn’t mean they have to be nice about it. Trans on Trans violence.

my controversial opinion is that i like that laios is bigger and more muscular than kabru because, as a poc, buff brown guy x scrawny white guy is so popular and tired, i like it whenever there’s a subversion of it from a work that’s well written. of course, not to mention that they have a very fun dynamic and the comic from the new official world guide spelling out for everyone that they do care about each other lol

i like that kabru does look feminine, especially when fandom makes the brown one always the bigger and masculine one in fanon and any instance of their delicate features is erased, even in yuri (looking at gwitch lol)

speaking of, i really like kikimari in that namari is portrayed as very masculine while kiki is feminine and elegant in fanwork

obviously, fandom isn’t activism duh, but i’m merely speaking from experience as someone who dabbles in both eastern and western fan spaces. i’ve seen it happen so many times that it’s become the staple so i love subversion that’s actually good

Love the Danny Phantom phandom because there could be a bajillion posts in a row stating: ‘here’s this kid who’s struggling with the multiple facets of himself. He has visible and invisible problems.’

and I’d reblog them every time. I just eat it up.

I think werewolves are an important part of trans culture *rips your throat out with my teeth*

dear malevolent podcast fans, why does no one ever talk about john and kayne and their whole dynamic . not even necessarily ship dynamic. no one talks about them NEARLY as much as we should be.

do you guys ever think about how whenever arthur and kayne have their weird gay shit going on, john is the one Witnessing it? arthur can't even see kayne's gay ass. JOHN can though. and he DOES. do you guys ever think about that. how he's forced to watch that?

do you guys ever wonder about what exactly happened with the whole deal to get john out of the dark world? why did kayne say uhh "the things you did to make this deal happen" . WHAT things? did kayne make john give him a little kissy? like did john have to massacre millions? theres so much to be explored here guys come on why aren't we talking about them more

they have such a weird freaky power dynamic and no ones even talking about it. it doesnt NEED to be like a ship thing. just in general. BUT ALSO do they even have ??? a ship name??? these are two of the main characters of the podcast guys. i know we all care about arthur sooooo much but..... but what about them.......
