#I love all of my trans siblings so very much and I'll scream that from the rooftops for all of my life

Text
I went out for easter lunch with my granddad and halfway through, two elder trans women- gray hair and canes and all-walked in, and I have spent probably the last hour crying on and off because they reminded me that we get to get old.
we get to live long, beautiful lives. we get to meet up with our life long friends for lunch at some little diner and talk about good times and how our families are doing. we get to sip on iced tea, and smile, and live
I ended up paying their bill, and I really wish I'd have gone up to talk to them. unfortunately I'm fairly shy with strangers, but I regret not saying hello.
but I hope they know, that everywhere they go, they glow like a neon sign lighting up a foggy path with the message that we get to live
#personal#brb I'm crying again#I needed to see them in the worst way#They're not only a symbol of human resilience. but of trans resilience as well#that no matter what this world throws at us. our people belong. we will always be here. we will survive. and we will be happy#trans elders are so incredibly important to me#the thing is too#I posted on my snap story how happy I was to see those ladies#and this young trans guy I work with said that myself and two other trans men I'm friends with#are for him what those ladies were to me today#that we made him realize that we can exist and we can exist loudly and happily#he texted me that and man. I'm telling you I cried#the trans community is so beautiful#I love all of my trans siblings so very much and I'll scream that from the rooftops for all of my life#rampant tr/nsphobia lately has had me so fucking destroyed inside. I feel like a big part of my heart healed today

The Empress and the Emperor for the Rook Tarot asks please 🥰
Hewwo!!! TYSM Red - I can't wait to dig my teeth into these! 🥰
Ask Game these are from <- feel free to ask me any of these I'll spend the next few days answering! 💖
Answers under the cut!
The Empress: What does family mean for Rook?
So I think the best way to describe what family mean's for Az is with the word "Bittersweet".
He had a very not good upbringing, he loved his dad a lot and his dad loved him, he cared for his mum and his mum *did* care for him but she also... wasn't the best person tbh.
His parents put him through a lot, keeping someone locked away for the first like 13 years of their lives will really do a number on them. There's a strong frustration & resentment that grows within them no matter how nice you are or how much they care about you.
His dad was great but, not home much due to military stuff... and his mum was home frequently as a SAHM but she didn't originally want to be a mother and that kind of showed as Rook grew up. There were lots of wonderful moments with his mother {she introduced him to alchemy and to gardening for example} but as he grew up more and more of those turned into awful moments as her stress revealed more of her buried frustration at not having wanted a kid and that in turn lead to LOTS of fighting, screaming matches, mean and awful shit said that you shouldn't say to a child.
Then the one adult who was around more often than his father, and was nice to him died and well, the circumstances around that... and then what little he had of family was gone after a massive fight not long after and well... yeesh trauma truly.
So for a while, Family meant shit to Rook. He hated the phrase, it mostly made him feel bitter and upset that he never really had a good one.
BUT when he met the lighthouse crew. Taash felt like a younger sibling {Qunari, Trans & Queer? With Anger & Family Issues? Like a mini Rook truly!}, Davrin felt like a long lost friend, Neve was like a super cool older sister, everyone else felt like cousins and it all just created such a warm atmosphere that Rook couldn't fully hate the word Family anymore.
Especially when Emmrich and Manfred came into the picture, then he didn't mind having a lil family with his paramour and his new skelly son either :3
So yeah, lotsa bittersweet feelings about it!
The Emperor: What does Rook's leadership style look like?
A very "Motivational Speaker Whose Winging It" style. He is holding on with nothing but hopes & wishes honestly & he is just having an internal breakdown everytime they have to try a different strat for the 10th time on a mission.
He does support everyone as much as he can though, and even though it's obvs he's winging a lot of it he doesn't let them see he's freaking tf out internally!
TYSM for the questions this was a lot of fun! If you have any questions about any of this please feel free to ask & I'll reply ASAP! 🥰

thinking about the Kennedy Parents. because Boy do i have headcanons.
so we've got Marshall Neil and Diane Reynolds Kennedy. lovely people.
some fun facts about these lil dudes:
- Marshall is Irish, technically! he's the son of some descendants of Irish immigrants :]
- he also fought in World War 2! only for a short time, though...considering he kinda got shot in the leg and had to have it amputated.
- Diane grew up in a sort of middle-class household. not...the Greatest people, i'll say that.
- neither of their families were the best. but in comparison to Diane's (emotionally and verbally abusive, as well as very misogynistic and sexist. because Housewives. basically they believed heavily in gender roles), Marshall's were Saints (they were very much "suck it up and deal with it" people)
- they both technically lived in/around the same town, but technically really met in Vegas. Diane was going there to get away from her family for a little while, and Marshall was there on a trip with his brothers (to uh. Distract Him From Some Things. such as his recently amputated leg).
- Diane's family never even Remotely approved of the relationship. things are still tense with them to this day.
- you thought either of these two were neurotypical? oh, absolutely not, where do you think Jack and his siblings got the autism from?
- Marshall swears frequently around the kids. which wasn't too much of a problem...until Jack started repeating them back.
- Marshall, having grown up on a farm but not living in a place where he Could farm, would usually garden. he's where Jack’s interest in plants and their biology comes from :]
- visits with Diane's family are always a nightmare, considering that they try to push their views onto her kids. Which She Doesn't Appreciate, By The Way.
- Marshall's family is better, but...they're all still loud and boisterous. doesn't help with sensory issues, but at least they aren't assholes to the children!
- the only extended family member that the Kennedy Siblings had contact with after their parents died was Aunt Jan, Marshall's younger sister and the Official Wine Aunt. absolute sweetheart <3
- both Diane and Marshall were accepting of Jack when he came out as trans <3
- i feel like if Marshall and Henry ever met, it would be...interesting. Henry would probably sit there for ten minutes and then suddenly go "Ah...I see where Jack gets his...personality from 😊" (< barely restrained annoyance) and Marshall just kinda has to deal with the sudden whiplash as he tries to figure out if that was just an observation or an insult (it is an insult).
- these two would have loved Caroline </3
- considering that i Have said before that Healthy Davesport could have happened earlier in the timeline if things hadn't gone to shit, i feel like they would've found Dave...Interesting. but hey, if This is the guy Jack’s into, who are they to get in the way of that? just as long as he doesn't hurt their little Jackie, they don’t mind it.
- they Do agree with Peter, though, that Jack has the weirdest(/worst) taste in men-
anyway! love these little guys <3
- dogboyjackkennedy
I'm gonna scream I fucking love this sm. These are so good I love these people so much and I'm simultaneously ripping my hair off over their passing. They sound like so absolutely lovely REUUAHUAAHH OT2
#luly talks#JUST DELICIOUS.#also the Kennedy's Irish technically so real that's so canon to me i dont even bring it up like those guys simply are irish#but still RURUWGAUAYSH#dogboyjackkennedy#asks#the family reunions could've been so fire man </33333#also henry being so passive aggressive is so real i want him microwaved#would love to know how and WHEN you believe they passed btw#also obliged to ask how was the economic situation when the family was still together? and were they just left to their own means entirely#after they passed?#dsaf

hand over ur trans tavs now this is not a request show them
XD I swear I feel like I've done this before... or maybe I'm mixing this up with the demand for the lesbians lmao.
Anyway! Sure, here they be. I'll go down in alphabetical class order.
As mentioned on the other post, Sanva Pe'tara is a lesbian trans woman, path of giants barbarian. She adores Lae'zel, that woman becomes the absolute love of her entire life. She had a pretty typical gith upbringing [swung her first greataxe by six, her first kill by age nine, the works] although her crèche wasn't blessed with the grand library that Lae'zel's crèche, K'lilr, had. She went to one of the caretakers of her crèche about her feelings around gender around age twelve, expressing how she was genuinely unhappy as a boy. Gith may be bloodthirsty but they ain't transphobes- so she was like "well, wanna be a girl instead?" and the rest is history for her. She just went by "Vee" for awhile until she decided upon her name, which she declared after coming of age and bringing back a mindflayer head. While her upbringing was the typical brutality for a githyanki, she is very sweet to her allies, although she disguises it as "high morale is good for warriors" lmao. Yeah sure Sanva, say that while brushing Shadowheart's hair and painting her nails XD
Terhi Lucidum is another, he's a gay trans man who's super into Gale. He struggled with an unaccepting family, and he met Jasmine, a blue dragonborn noble who helped him hatch a plan. They got fake married so he could safely cut contact with them, and they didn't have any legal say-so in his life. She gave him half her money in the divorce to do whatever he needed with because his family was not only shitty but they were also Very Broke™. That wasn't part of the deal, she just did that, saying he helped out with the fake marriage [her family also wouldn't shut up about her getting married to somebody] so it was only right she help him out too. They remain dear friends to this day. He chose his name, Terhi, from one of his ancestors who was a great warrior. He's a bit on the shy side but loves with his entire heart. He's a wildheart barbarian.
Next up is Tysha Ousseanea, who yes, is the one screaming in this team post lmao. She's a wild magic barbarian. Tysha was very young when she came out and socially transitioned, picking her name with the help of her dad who helped her look through name books and such until she found one she liked. Her mother- in the brief time Tysha was able to get to know her- gave her all kinds of outfits she liked and encouraged her every step of the way to be her authentic self. She ended up as a soldier because her mother- a powerful sorceress who also was in the army before she vanished- was her inspiration in many ways. Problem is she basically does a Leroy Jenkins™ every fight and somehow wins. Girl is a bit anxious because she tries to stealth into the goblin camp and then accidentally decapitates the gate guard. She's pretty clumsy and wishes she wasn't, but she tries her best. She's basically a whirlwind in fights her allies just take a step away from and let her do her thing. She's a massive darling though, her team finds it impossible not to love her. She smooches Shadowheart and Halsin- y'know, as a treat.
Eirlys here is pretty new and doesn't have much lore- she's a half-high elf, circle of stars druid. She's the cousin of my human swarmkeeper ranger, Jae- they're related via Eirlys' human father and Jae's mother, who are siblings. Eirlys is a Shadowheart smoocher through and through. Eirlys' name actually means "snowdrop" in Welsh, and she left home after coming out and deciding to become a druid. Not because her family wasn't supportive [they were], she just wanted to spread her wings and learn more about herself. Eirlys was fascinated by the snowdrop flower in her early training as a druid, hence her name choice. She loves nature as a whole, but is especially obsessed with flowers. She can list off flower facts for literal hours on end and identify them with a damn glance. Her earrings were a gift from her cousin Jae when she came to visit Eirlys after dropping by the city, so Eirlys never goes anywhere without them. They're very close, and she came out to Jae before she told her parents.
Raelia was of course mentioned before, but, here she be again! She's a circle of the land druid and a mephistopheles tiefling. And yes, She Pink™. She was orphaned very young and found herself alone in the forest, picked up by a beautiful silver dragon named Argenti Moondew, the head of a very small, very selective group of druids. Argenti's descendant, Frost [silver dragonborn druid I have], was the one who Raelia grew up with as they both had lost their families from such an early age. They grew up and learned together, and around seventeen, Raelia came out to Frost and the two stayed up all night stargazing together. Frost suggested the name, saying she combined a couple names she thought were cool. Raelis had a Big Gay Crush™ on Frost back then but also loved the name, so she quickly said she'd use it. They then told Argenti, who was more than supportive because she's a good dragon momma. They had a lil ceremony and everything for her. Raelia had actually gone to Baldur's Gate and gotten her top surgery before the mindflayers fucked everything up, hence the joke in the post back there lol. But it turns out the journey's a good thing- as Raelia knows Frost loves her as a sister, not the way she likes Frost, so this whole journey really helps her come to peace with that. And it helps her meet the real love of her life- Karlach.
Next up is Justine! She's a half orc, battle master fighter, who is a sweet woman with a strong sense of justice- hence her name! She wanted to embody the ideal, and have it guide her choices, hence her settling on the choice. Her father [on orc] was killed by humans, leaving her human mother grieving and her sister [Babette] to become a paladin and take an oath on vengeance to avenge their father. Justine worries her sister is being consumed by the need for revenge, and looks to more peacefully resolve everything and have those people face the consequences of their actions and not just like... kill them. She's pretty comfortable as she is and fairly feminine- enjoying makeup, dresses, doing her hair and the works- but is very comfortable in her own skin. She likes her voice, her body, the works. She's Justine, she's a woman, and she's happy just remaining herself without much [if any] medical transition. Her love interest is Wyll, I just feel they'd mesh well and be very sweet together.
Masae Freath is a seldarine drow and four elements monk. He was a noble in the underdark with his twin sister long before he knew, and they both despised drow society. The two decided to escape after Masae came out to his sister, and they KNEW Lolth's god awful society would never be safe for him to live as a man. So, they fled; and he's out, proud, and happy to be safe on the surface. Masae loves his sister and her half-drow daughter, Sola, and would do anything to protect them. Masae wears every scar- related to his transition or not- with pride and believes everyone should be able to be their most authentic self. He's very drawn to Gale, and while that's his L/I currently I may swap it lol. Depends on how his story goes when I put him in action!
This is Edmond Charity! He's actually the cousin of my lore bard, Lune Temperance, who doesn't even know she has any living family. Edmond knows she exists, but... it's complicated as to him going to talk to her. This is because he was raised in a cult of Loviatar, the goddess of pain, and his mother especially was a huge fanatic who kept him and his father very isolated from everyone outside the cult. So even though he knows Lune isn't in the cult, he's nervous about meeting people. Especially because his feelings about his mom are... complicated. But he finds his way to heal, and remind himself that life isn't just meant to be pain and nothing else.
This is Marigold Gemdrop, a human arcane trickster rogue and former florist. She lived in a small village with her fathers, tending to and selling the flowers they grew with little hints of magic to keep them extra healthy. However, a raid from a band of orcs, hobgoblins and goblins wiped the entire village out except Marigold- who managed to fake dead long enough for the raid to move on. She became rather... cynical after that, especially as no one seemed to care her entire village was just dead. Everything she knew and loved... gone. And nobody seemed to care. She chose her name based off her papa's favourite flower, which she too has come to deeply adore. Marigold actually found out she was trans kinda by accident, as she used a disguise as a "young, fair maiden" to break into a merchant's guild... and was like "wait why am I so happy being referred to as a woman??? ...O h." and the rest is history lmao.
This is Van'la Mir'kith- she's from the same crèche as Vetra, my githyanki war cleric of Vlaakith. Van'la is a blue dragonic ancetsry sorcerer who spent much of her life honing her magic abilities to become the strongest sorceress she could be. She and Vetra are close as sisters, even referring to each other as such, and endlessly support one another in all they want to do. Van'la was very particularly good at any martial arts in her life, and to the entire crèche's surprise, Vetra was the one who protected her. Thankfully Van'la's skills with magic made themselves clear quickly, and they kinda guessed she was trans when he first then she did was just "disguise self" to make herself appear as a girl. They just made it official after that and Van'la chose her real name. She hated her old name anyway.
aaaaaand last up of the group is Suvi Fragaria! She's a divination wizard from a family of artisans who make enchanted weaponry. Suvi pursued magic unrelated to her family's work, simply enjoying being in touch with the Weave and exploring the capabilities of magic, especially enjoying the divination school. She was sent to Baldur's Gate by her family to sell more of their weapons- with plans for her to further travel and eventually loop back- but... she loved it there! So now she happily lives in Baldur's Gate with a book shop she runs, and offers magic tutoring for a flexible price to anyone interested in learning magic. She's a big sweetie.
