my review for mutt (2023) dir. vuk lungulov-klotz
this is my first time seeing someone like me (a gay, latino trans guy) on screen. we barely get represented in film and i couldn't stop crying while watching. i'm also glad that feña's unlikable. it made me like him even more. trans people are always put into this box on who we're supposed to be. trans men are regarded as a "safe type of man" because we were born female. whether it's intentional or not, it's obvious the people who say that don't see us as men, but as gender non-conforming women. more trans men need to be assholes!
there were so many parts of this movie that were painfully relatable that it was just hilarious. i had the same conversation with my 11-year-old niece, who's basically my little sister, that feña had with his sister. she was my first and only family member who didn't look at me like i was crazy. if anything, she rolled her eyes at me because she already knew due to the trans flag in my room. she told me "okay? i have gay friends.", which just made me laugh.
his relationship with his parents is like mine but reversed. my mother wants to be supportive, but she just doesn't understand what being transgender is. i've been out for more than a year and my mother has only called me her son once. she still uses my deadname and misgenders me. in the beginning, i would remind her not to, but i've grown tired of that. we got into so many arguments over it. they would always end with me sobbing while she told me it was hard for her too. she still has her moments though. i'll never forget when we were shoe shopping together and i saw the cutest mary jane platforms. i gathered up the courage to tell my mother i wanted them, but it didn't change the fact that i'm a boy. she told me, "i don't fully get you, but i know." that was the first time i was sure she wasn't lying to me.
growing up, my father was pretty much my hero. i was closer to my mom, but i still looked up to him. he wasn't around much when i was in elementary and i would cry while looking through the family albums. he eventually came back for good and i was the happiest kid ever. though, it didn't last long. as i was growing up, i was also realizing just how much of an asshole my father is. the first time i hit back, i was 15, protecting my mother from his drunken tirades. i can still see his shocked face clearly in my mind. ever since then, our relationship has become nonexistent and it got worse when i came out. he looks at me in disgust because i'm "trying (and failing) to be a man" to him. he looks at me like he doesn't know where he went wrong.
everything about this movie pulled at my heartstrings. i'm so glad i had a box of tissues next to me. i'm gonna have a hard time moving on from this. it's just so special TO ME! thankful for all the trans artists out there who make me want to keep going and create art of my own. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Quant Lil' Report on the 2023 Film Mutt
The 2023 film Mutt, directed by Vuk Lungulov-Klotz, takes place over a 24-hour period in New York City and follows Feña, a young trans man, as he reconnects with his Chilean father (Pablo), his estranged younger half-sister (Zoe), and his ex-boyfriend (John). These interactions force Feña to navigate the evolving dynamics of his relationships while grappling with the challenges of post-transition life. Themes of identity, family, and cultural disconnection are central to the story. As a quick aside, Lío Mehiel, the actor portraying Feña, is transgender/non-binary which brings authenticity to the character. Moreover, I think it is wonderful that they are also latine of Puerto Rican descent! I was very happy to see some proper representation.
Mutt displays identity as an ongoing negotiation shaped by—at least in this story—gender and culture. Feña’s relationships, particularly with his father, highlight how traditional his Latin American values intersect with the shifting norms of gender and sexuality. Feña, as a character, is ridiculously difficult to like. His selfishness, stubbornness, and self-righteousness often alienate the people that love him most. Yet, as a trans viewer, I found myself relating to many of his frustrations and struggles. His explosive argument with Pablo, accusing his father of being close-minded, stems from a deep-seated fear of rejection—a fear many trans individuals can identify with, including myself. Feña’s inability to recognize Pablo’s genuine, albeit flawed, efforts underscore his tendency to interpret every challenge in his relationships as rooted solely in his identity. This shortsightedness makes him both frustrating and painfully relatable.
In a heated argument, Feña accuses John of being “too scared to date a trans guy,” projecting his insecurities onto his ex (I’ve been there!). Transitioning within a romantic relationship can be incredibly challenging for both parties. John’s hesitancy doesn’t stem from transphobia but from the need to reevaluate his own identity, including the possibility that he may no longer identify as straight. This internal conflict is both valid and utterly human, and Feña’s failure to acknowledge it highlights his lack of empathy. John’s response—“Everybody doesn’t hate you because you’re trans. Everyone hates you because you’re an asshole”—is cutting but speaks to a central flaw in Feña’s character. Feña often attributes his struggles solely to his trans identity, ignoring how his behavior and self-destructive tendencies alienate those who care about him. This is especially evident in his explosive anger towards Pablo, whom he accuses of close-mindedness despite his father’s clear attempts to support him, albeit imperfectly (once again, I’ve been there).
Zoe’s observation that Feña is beginning to act like their abusive mother is another key moment. Feña’s unresolved trauma, particularly his constant need to ensure that Zoe is safe from their mother’s harm, shapes his relationships. It highlights his inability to see beyond his own pain, creating cycles of anger and self-sabotage.
As frustrating as Feña can be, his story resonates as a powerful reflection of the complexities of trans identity, love, and self-discovery. The film’s raw honesty and nuanced portrayals make it a fascinating exploration of identity in all its messiness.

Oh heck yes new trans man movie! I'll definitely check that out. Thank you so much!
"It's time we had queer media do X!"
Babe, I promise you it already exists. Queer media is already doing that. It came out this year. It came out 20 years ago. The only reason you're not aware of it is that queer media always has been mostly indie and people don't watch enough weird indie stuff.
If you only watch queer media made to appeal to a broadly average viewer, of course you're not going to see comedic gay sex, or drag club workplace comedy, or trans men grappling with their interpersonal relationships changing, or romcoms that reject amatanormativity, or 70+ year old lesbian road trips, or Muslim gay coming of age stories, or sham marriage comedies. But these are all in real films and shows.
What's not happening is average straight people paying attention to these wonderful pieces of media, the best films and shows you've ever seen, because they were not made for straight people. They don't talk to straight people, they don't let straight people in on the community jokes and commentary, and they deliberately do things to make straight people uncomfortable. They're more passionate and more messy.
And what you'll almost always get is found family. So if you love that trope there is an entire genre waiting for you to discover.
Off the top of my head that I've watched this year:
Comedic gay sex: Bros (2022), Spoiler Alert (2022), Smiley (2022).
Drag club workplace comedy: Smiley (2022).
Trans men grappling with their interpersonal relationships changing: Rūrangi (2020), Romeos (2011).
Romcoms that reject amatanormativity: Bros (2022), Chutney Popcorn (1999), Badhai Do (2022).
70+ year old lesbian road trips: Cloudburst (2011).
Muslim gay coming of age stories: Naz & Maalik (2016).
Sham marriage comedies: Badhai Do (2022).

✨DOGGUST IS HERE!✨
Day 1 - Aspin, which is derived from the Filipino language and it’s commonly used to describe mutts or cross breeds.
I decided to be a little different on this one, and when to one of my local shelters to choose a cross breed to draw. I went with this beautiful girl named Luna!

We did it, folks. It’s Friday, and we’re rounding out our week with our final selection of works. This year’s Rare Fest comes to a close with themes of friendship, family, and love — much like the show that we’re all here to celebrate. We hope you enjoy them!
Have fun following along this week? Don’t forget to leave a kudos or comment to show our writers your appreciation!
***
Taking Care of David
[Alexis & David, Teen, 5,590]
With Patrick out of town, the last thing David needs is to be stuck in bed with the flu. They've been planning Patrick's attendance at the conference for months, there's no question of him returning to help out. But as chance would have it, Alexis is in town for a couple of weeks and reluctantly, David agrees to let Patrick ask for her help. It isn't like she's going to say 'yes' anyway...
***
Marcy's Girls
[Alexis, Marcy, & Stevie, Teen, 4,464]
Marcy is left alone with Alexis and Stevie after David has to pick Patrick up from a vendor run. Alexis and Stevie both turn to Marcy for relationship advice, and Marcy finds herself to be a substitute mother to the girls.
***
Want S’more
[Patrick/Jake/Mutt, Explicit, 3536]
Patrick goes camping and gets a crash course in survival woodworking.
***
your secret's safe with me
[Ruth/Stevie, Mature, 3,125]
Stevie hates surprises. Truly, there’s nothing she hates more. They make her extremely uncomfortable, and always make her cry, whether or not they’re good surprises. She’s terrible at planning them, too. She’s never been particularly good at keeping secrets, which seems to shock most people.
But somehow, despite all of this, Stevie has ended up dating Ruth who not only likes surprises, but also just informed her that she booked a trip to visit Schitt's Creek for her birthday. So now Stevie has to plan a surprise party for her sophisticated, big city girlfriend in a town that only has one restaurant.
Stevie enlists David's help to plan a surprise party for Ruth. It goes about as well as one would expect.
***
Best Budds
Stevie, G, 2,875]
A pre canon telling of Stevie’s relationship with the Motel over the passage of time and the lifelong effect it bestowed upon them.
***
You Miss 100% of the Tapes You Don't Play
[Patrick & Stevie, Teen, 995]
Patrick and Stevie support one another’s endeavors on two separate occasions.
***
a reason to stay
[Alexis/Twyla, G, 606]
It isn't like she's never been used, like no one's ever looked at her and seen someone they could discard. It isn't like her family, their voices raised through the mansion as they all pack up their lives, cares about her.
She shoves things in suitcases. Stavros will get her out of this; Stavros will bring her home.
Still: when she finds David's stuffie in her closet, she packs it, too.
--
Alexis has packed and unpacked her life countless times—but until Schitt's Creek, she never found a place that made her want to stay.
