They'd get into the wackiest old-lady hijinks.

Edit: This should be labeled Round 3

Fa Mulan:

- You could read them as trans in every single direction. Every trans person can relate to them in one way or another

- A trans man reading is probably the most obvious, with Mulan disguising themself as a man and discovering themself when they had been super awkward in a feminine role

- A trans woman reading is also very good. They were awkward and clumsy in a feminine role, perhaps because every other woman had a head start. And imagine, having to take up masculinity for the sake of your family. Very very transfemme

- A nonbinary reading can go in any direction since there's no one way to be nonbinary (no one way to be binary either but you know)

Hatsune Miku:

- All robots are intently trans, including programs

- They're like a digital Barbie, they can be anything!

- Miku binder

- In at least one song the story involves them canonically being a trans woman

- Each song is part of its own canon, so the Vocaloids can literally be anything

Look I know Rapunzel paints and Tiana cooks, but if you guys don't think Mulan is the Most Creative Disney Princess, you're wrong.

She's literally introduced in this perfect scene that highlights her whole character, flaws and strengths:

The first time you see her she's:

Cheating, which is totally the opposite of what honor-code General Shang would do.

Undisciplined, which is what going to the army fixes.

Problem-solving—by writing the recitation she can't remember on her wrist—

BUT LISTEN. That last one is the first hint you have that she's the Most Creative Disney Princess. Because guess what? She's not the first young woman to cheat at the matchmaker test. The Matchmaker specifically checks to see if she's cheating when the test begins. But the rest of them wrote their cheat sheet on their fans.

The Matchmaker was prepared for the usual kind of tricks. But Mulan's full of her own ideas, not everyone else's.

You guys know the rest. She dresses up like a soldier—nobody suspects her because the idea that someone would do that never occurs to everyone else. She climbs the pole by tying the medallions around each other when none of the other recruits can figure it out. She lights the cannon by grabbing Mushu instead of searching for flints. She creates an avalanche instead of just taking Shan Yu out. She tricks the Huns by dressing her friends up as concubines. She defeats Shan Yu with his own sword and a bunch of fireworks.

But even beyond problem-solving, Mulan never does things like other people do. She doesn't even do things like other women do.

She doesn't just walk across a bridge, she jumps from pillar to pillar. She doesn't just bring her father tea, she puts a spare teacup in her sleeve because she knows she's clumsy.

Mulan is creative. But you know what that moment proves? That she's not just a representation of all women-versus-men. Mulan is representative of a human, who sees where she has strengths, and sees where she has weaknesses. She uses her strengths to her advantage and works to improve or make up for her weaknesses. She doesn't try to be exactly like a man. She just tries to use what she's got to do the right thing. And finding ways to use what you've got, even if it's not like what everyone else has, is creativity.

[Image Description: Two digitally composited images of Mei and Mulan, created using Disney screencaps. The first image is Mei, clinging to Mulan. Mulan looks sad, and is hugging Mei, who is incredibly sad, to her chest. 

The second image is Mulan and Mei holding one another. Mulan has a hand on Mei’s shoulder, and one on her back. Mei has a hand on Mulan’s cheek and their faces are nearly touching as they smile softly at one another. End ID]

Sketchbook:

- Puppets are very gender

- Whole thing is creativity, so why only have one gender?

- Us art folks tend to be trans

- “I use my hair to express myself!”

- Pronouns and colored hair

Fa Mulan:

- You could read them as trans in every single direction. Every trans person can relate to them in one way or another

- A trans man reading is probably the most obvious, with Mulan disguising themself as a man and discovering themself when they had been super awkward in a feminine role

- A trans woman reading is also very good. They were awkward and clumsy in a feminine role, perhaps because every other woman had a head start. And imagine, having to take up masculinity for the sake of your family. Very very transfemme

[Image Description: A digitally composited image of Mulan and Aurora, created using Disney screencaps. Mulan, Aurora and Fa Zhou are all sitting at a table. Fa Zhou looks angry, he is glaring at Aurora. Aurora is turned away from Fa Zhou, frowning, with her eyes closed. Mulan frowning and playing with her hair. End ID]

“Marry Her Anyway”– So this was inspired by @airasora‘s recent video (I hope she doesn’t mind me tagging her in this) but with one of my own OTPs. Basically Aurora asked Fa Zhou’s permission to marry Mulan, but only because it was important to Mulan to get her father’s blessing. As the title suggests though, Fa Zhou’s reaction won’t stop the wedding. Can you spot the little easter egg I put in here? Again, characters do not belong to me!
