as a trans guy who is watching mismag - the first series is not super good lol and it's a shame brennan lee mulligan is playing evan kelmp bc somehow he accidentally made a pretty egg-coded character. including a scene in the christmas special where evan is wearing a scrunchie and the other players/characters who are in context his BEST & ONLY FRIENDS (reluctantly) say they think it looks weird, and the whole table is goofing around about how it's a kind of silly hairstyle.

and like even if they were a group capable of recognising a character reading like a pre-transition trans girl, they would probably decide not to follow through just bc that would make them look SO bad in hindsight.

again it's not a moment where it's blatantly "haha trans women are weird" it's just the thoughtlessness of "this man is doing something feminine in a way that looks funny to us. let's all laugh and make jokes about it!!" and not realising what they're actually doing there. idk. maybe i'm reading way too much into it but it's kind of chilling to realise that even in the supposedly anti-terf "takedown" of hp they can't help but be transmisogynistic. AND with the transfem character who never actually shows up and is just mentioned while offscreen by her dad. and they think they're doing so much!

you’re not reading into it!!!! that’s such a perfect criticism that encapsulates everything wrong with Dropout, and especially with magic & misfits. it’s like, gee, wow, that really makes me feel represented and safe :/

"...And for just a second, it doesn't feel like too much, and being stretched too thin, because they're not all asking to take from you, they're all offering to give to you in the same way that you've given to them. And the reaching out is not always with a fist that grabs and pulls. Sometimes it's just a little touch to let you know that they're there too."

Well damn. Well said, Aabria. Make me cry at 10 am why don't you! And Lou! Jammer's mini breakdown to the Qohlye was like looking in a mirror. Oof. I've often felt like that a lot too, especially in college and more recently now that I'm freshly graduated. That I'm being pulled in too many ways by too many hands, but I forgot just how often those hands are reaching out to uplift as well. Woof. What a ride.

What I love about misfits and magic also is that Evan Kelmp's inherent constant state of possession is just like.. never explained. Like no there was never like a big ritual or something he was just like. Born like that.

Something I love about Sam is she greets everyone and everything with kindness. People, dragons, demons. Where others are panicked or defensive, she just speaks to everyone as an equal.

if you're not going to concede (that dimension 20 is the greatest show ever), what do you want me to tell your family?

[hi-intrepid-heroes]

i get it now

Misfits and Magic Season 2 Episode 1 disorganized thoughts!

“We’re gonna cut down from 40 songs to 20 so you can train animals in the second half of the hour” it’s so great how everything she says is more impossible than the last!

Also “language LANGUAGE” was a fun bit

Jammer and Sam both seem busy, but K and Evan are straight up avoiding their minds and I’m so excited to see where this goes. (Poor Theadore) And watching Sam and Jammer observe and react to “you’re looking well” was so funny!

Kinda glad they broke up just because Brennen and Erika do tense/complicated moments so well. Like look at burrows end.

I keep looking at Erika’s sleeves. They’re just really cool.

And Aabria is so. good. at. this.

This is already so fun for me.

I don't know how big the crossover is between the fandoms is but Evan Kelmp is a babygirl to me in the same way that Peter Spankoffski is a scrungle. They are filed away in the same folder in my brain.
