If Leon was a trans guy in the Jolly Rogers universe, I imagine that he would have had a really hard time of it his whole life thanks to certain people. If he was still champion and everything mostly happened the same up until he goes to Alola, how would meeting Guzma and the rest of team skull go, considering they view gender completely differently than what Leon might be used to dealing with?

So, to answer this question I'll probably reference some parts of the story, so 🛑spoilers🛑 for anyone who hasn't read it....

Now, there are, of course, prejudices in Alola as there are most places toward trans folk, hence the twin's (oc grunts Pink and Blue) situation. However, I think Leon will come to be surprised that the snarky Skull Boss does not poke fun at that aspect of him even once.

We've already sort of seen how Guzma views others in terms of sex and gender. For example, even when thinking about the twins, he only ever describes them as 'boys', 'brothers', 'morons', etc. The fact that Blue is trans is not something that ever crosses his mind UNTIL someone else brings it up and dares to misgender him. I imagine, that even if he clocks Leon as trans without the champ straight up telling him, it's more of a footnote in Guzma's brain about him than anything else. So, let's say Guzma was asked to describe Leon's most defining traits... his brain would probably turn up things like "man younger than me," "dark, long hair," "bright eyes," "scatterbrained," "large, muscular chest," etc. In other words, though Leon is a trans man, Guzma sees him as simply a man first and foremost. This is likely not a conscious thing Guzma does, and has roots in the fact that the majority of positive adult influences from his childhood happened to be māhū.

This may actually lead to some misunderstandings. I know that being trans for some folk is a very important part of their identity and that they would much rather have the distinction between transman and cisman. In my interpretation of Leon, I don't think he'd care as much about the distinction and would focus more on being seen and thought of as a man in general. However, the fact that Guzma is so unreactive (and almost uninterested) in the fact that Leon is trans is actually a bit of a shock and kind of confusing (but also refreshing). He may think Guzma is just messing with him or being insensitive and just "pretending like he isn't" as I'm sure he's had to deal with in the past. Alternatively, he just thinks Guzma is completely oblivious to the fact. Of course, any of this would be resolved once the two just sat down and had a bloody conversation.

I could totally see Leon stressing about needing/wanting to tell Guzma he's trans and being unsure how he'll take it and finally mustering up the metaphorical balls to do so only for Guzma to be like, yeah I fucking know that already??? I'm sure some entertaining banter would ensue.

The rest of the islands aside, I think Leon would find himself extremely comfortable and at home in the shady house, it being very inclusive and accepting, a good bit of its residents being some flavor of queer, neurodivergent, misunderstood, etc. I'm sure some of the grunts are thrilled to have him (as a trans adult) around- physical affirmation that yes, it's not a phase, yes you can grow up as the person you want/are meant to be, yes you don't have to compromise for anyone else's sake, yes you can, you WILL be happy.

I think Leon would really enjoy that. He's use to being a role model, but this is different and I think it means something important to him. I also think Leon would really appreciate the idea of māhū and the idea that gender is not simply "one or the other". I think it's validating and would help him be more accepting of himself, allowing him to be proud of his more "feminine" features or tendencies without feeling like they detract from his masculinity or identity as a man.

I think Leon would also be able to extend some of this to Guzma himself. As it's implied in the story thus far, for himself gender is a difficult subject to breach due to the abuse he suffered from his father. The understanding he subconsciously extends to others, he subconsciously does not grant to himself. I think Leon sharing with him some of the struggles he's overcome through the years, may connect some synapses in Guzma's brain. Maybe Lee can get him to acknowledge the contradiction within himself....

hi! oh my goodness. i am SO sorry i didn’t say anything earlier. i did read everything a couple days ago, and i Have been chewing on it, rotating it in my mind, etc etc…..and the graphic has been my phone lockscreen since i first read it!!!!!

frankly i am obsessed and have also been a little frazzled this month lol. saw your post late because of the general whirlwind that is december and then couldn’t quite get my thoughts into sufficient words n got worried “oh no would it be weird to say something now…..” which is incredibly silly in retrospect, so sorry for that. 

i’m relatively new to hockey fandom and the Narratives don’t always quite click for me (yet, at least :)) because i don’t know all of the lore for a lot of the popular pairings haha, so it means a lot that you’ve taken time out of your day to break things down for me and share your own thoughts <3 tysm. again, super sorry for the delayed response. i’m very sorry if you felt as though you’d wasted your time or something along those lines :’) just wanted to let you know that i really appreciate you and the time it took you to get everything down and make the graphic!!!! and like i can’t overstate how much your tags both over here and on your other blog have helped me to Get It since the start of this season, so thank you.

but now the house is quiet, the in-laws are gone, and no new work stuff until january :) so i can finally get some stuff down. every point you brought up hits in it own way but gosh you are very incredibly right the mcstrome of it all…..that’s sort of the lens i’ve been listening to the song through since you mentioned it.

the golden boy and the “draft bust” and the ever present notion of “isn’t it all about old friends? like everything? all of it?”.  like idk looking back on a bestfriendship from when you were a teenager that was Super intense and the lines were blurred and maybe realizing (if you hadn’t had the words or the “guts” or awareness or wtv to put a name to it at that point in your life) that y’all were a smidge more than just friends. 

best friends forever until you just aren’t! growing up and growing apart. it’s just the way things go but it can and will ache for a damn long time! you think you’re over it until their birthday or the holidays roll around and you wonder in a distant sort of way who they’re spending it with. what you would’ve hypothetically gotten them as a present if you still spoke. what do they even like nowadays, anyway?

maybe having the friendship end subtly. going from playing and traveling together and living in one another’s pockets to 2,080 miles of distance? (i may have my timeline/details confused here so sorry in advance) texting as much as you can at first but he’s a phenom he’s mcjesus he’s the next in line he’s expected to win the cup with his new team and end the drought for Canada. and they have him now but he was yours first, wasn’t he? but it’s fine. because you’re busy too. you’re captaining the team now. you’re gonna get the memorial cup that he couldn’t. it’s fine. you’re fine. you don’t even have time to worry about it anyway. 

one conversation a week turns to one a month turns to once in a blue moon turns to stale words until it goes cold. these days you can’t quite seem to remember who ended things, but does it really matter all that much now?

or maybe it doesn’t end like that at all. maybe it ends in a flurry of angry words and digs in some or other of the endless hotel rooms you’ve shared together over the years. who knows!

and that’s not even getting into the rest of the 2015 draft class. or the ld19 of it all! ooh hoo hoo. you grew up with him but he’s not your waiting room. he grew up with you but he’ll grow “old” (end his career) with someone else. and isn’t that just something! 

i don’t think it’s totally them, but sort of the sentiment of “I hope you get everything you ever wanted and I hope I never hear a word about it.” I want one ticket off of your carousel!!!! merry christmas, please don’t call!!!!!!!

dylan being sent up and down and traded around until finally landing in washington, a place where he is clearly at home and LOVED for the guy and player he is!!!!!!!! watching a game and seeing all the strome jerseys in the crowd……..wagh.

all that said. some other songs that are mcstrome to me in various ways: hot & heavy by lucy dacus (lol kinda the whole song). before the world was big by girlpool (“i just miss how it felt standing next to you wearing matching [jerseys? sweaters?] before the world was big”). happiness by Taylor swift (“i guess it’s the price i pay for seven years in heaven”), cut your bangs by radiator hospital (maybe? possibly? unsure. i like the whole dog thing there). i’m so glad i feel this way about you by insignificant other (!!!!!). there are so many THEM lyrics in there……..waough.

anyway. other things off the top of my head: 2015 connor specifically saying something like “hey let’s wait a minute so we can see this” to stand by the stage when dylan was getting drafted after him. MAN. you reminded me of the fact that they couldn’t even make eye contact at the handshake line!!!!!!!!! they didn’t go to each other’s weddings!!!!!!!!!! (do you think once upon a time they ever thought they’d being each other’s best man?). just a couple months ago dylan liking the tweet of connor getting that goal during the playoffs!!!!!!!! makes you wonder if he texted him………..

lol this was all over the place and i was probably wrong on some things and there’s SO much more that someone else could say way more eloquently, but i digress. i dunno everything about them is so nuts to me!!!!! needless to say i will be incredibly sat for the game january 21 🙂‍↕️

thank you again for your time :) hope you have a good one and a happy rest of the holiday season! <3333333

what a lovely message to receive 🥰😭🥹 i had to break it up into chunks because i couldn't sit down to read all of it at once without just. bouncing right back up and shrieking. i am also at heart terribly shy so i understand the struggle but it is never too late to say something <3 you are always welcome here

first!!! i love sharing!! i think most of hockey tumblr loves to see people finding out the Lore for the first time and the wonderful thing about hockey is that. it keeps going on. so there's years and years and generations and generations and always something new to learn about. i've learned to just not be afraid to ask!!! between different teams and players i'm always discovering new narratives (learning about the sharks old man yaoi rn... cbj rarepairs...)

no... to my heart's despair... you have the timeline right. i think in the best most tragic sense there's a mcstrome narrative where it is truly that nothing went wrong. the love was there. we couldn't do enough to save it because we didn't see it slipping away. i didn't notice when you didn't call until you never did. i don't know you now but i still remember when i did, do you?

HE'S NOT YOUR WAITING ROOM?? passing out. i do see "i hope you get everything you ever wanted and i hope i never hear a word about it" as them because!! they didn't go to each other's weddings!!! i don't wish you harm but i'm not going to put myself through that!! i hope you're happy and i'm never going to look on purpose.

i love dylan strome so much and the best part is that they all love him so much too. he wore a cool vintage ovechkin jacket!! and got slapped in the face with a tortilla!! he loves to gently rag on the rookies!! it just takes some time, everything'll be just fine. you're only on the middle of the ride.

OKAY WHEN I READ THIS PART I SCREAMED BECAUSE I DO HAVE A MCSTROME PLAYLIST AND!!!! HOT & HEAVY BY LUCY DACUS IS IN FACT ON IT!!! SO IS CUT YOUR BANGS (BUT BY GIRLPOOL SO DOUBLE JINX)!!!! i have dorothea by taylor swift on there but i don't know happiness so i'll have to give all the other songs a listen. mostly i just shrieked because i was like NO YOU GOT THE VIBES EXACTLY

🧠〰️🧠 truly the mind meld happening here. the handshake line. the mutual wedding non-invitations. i won't block your number or your name on twitter i just hope i don't see it come up on screen!! i do think that we got confirmation the last time they played each other that dylan did text him to say congrats on a milestone but i would have to check the archives

p.s. i think you said it perfectly eloquently :) what matters is that you said it at all and i was delighted to read it 💕

Just had some anon crying in my asks about how I said Ada is a good person despite her illegal acts. Misogynists are literally the weakest link. Anyways Ada is perfect and I actually condone all of her actions because she's an angel, hope this helps <3

god, being reminded of brooding leon...

the isolation, the weird looks he gets from how antsy and bitchy he's getting. he's too irritated to think, to rationalize or even consider that he's been infected by something. doesn't remember. no one saw it happen.

the nesting behavior. thing's been fucking with his head so he doesn't consider that it's weird. nope, it's uh... yeah it's normal to be a human garbage disposal and start building a hollow. and puking up nesting material like some kind of... wasp? a mud dauber, a paper wasp. something like that.

by the time the clutch is ready, he's fully on nest guard duty. (good luck getting in, that nesting shit is strong)

buuut lucky him, by the time everything hatches, they don't eat him for sustenance. (either by chance, by plot armour, or it's just not what they're to do lol)

he's more likely to die of exhaustion when he's reinfected-

OH and let me just take a moment to talk about the Dads hair in SAE. Like--gorgeous??? Love the variety in styles??? I know not all the dads are your original designs but like still, they all look so fantastic in your style. Benji's is so curly and fluffy, Ammon resembling Link's style is wonderful, Leon looks so professional, Linebeck looks so messy and oily like he doesn't have time to wash because he wouldn't and actual clean water and not salt water or monster water would be scarce, Rusl's just perfect because he's Rusl (btw the way you draw him without his headband is *chef's kiss* mwuah), and sweet, sweet Talon looks so normal next to all of them haha

Ah thank you so much!!!! 🥺🥺 it makes me so happy when they’re distinct with each other! That’s a goal of mine artistically is to have characters look different enough from each other, especially face wise. I’m still struggling with it but it’s getting better! I love the dad’s hair tho, and I’m glad they’re a lot of fun! I sometimes struggle with hair fr so I’m very glad they’re different!

He finally found a real family

Old lady: Oh, Bruno, darling, what good fellows you and your kids are! It's been so quiet on the streets lately! Apparently, God favors us

Narancia: WHAHAHAHA, you blew like a sucker, Giorno!

Giorno: DAMN IT! If I had been there, they wouldn't have had a chance!

Giorno: Fuck, fuck, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! Holy shit, Mista! Why did you bother them at all?!

Mista: Sorry man💦

Someone: WHERE DID THESE ASSHOLES GO?!

Moviе: Gus: What's great about dating homeless girls? Murphy: What? Gus: You can drop them off anywhere.

Abbachio: Ugly.

Giorno: I don't like it either.

Giorno: What if our world is a simulation, like in the Matrix? Well, I mean, you also sometimes sit down, and just turns off for 40 minutes? What does it look like?

Fugo: Well, yes, it happens...

Giorno: And?

Fugo: It looks like.... Reboot the system.....

Fugo: ....fuuuuuuuuck

Fugo: man

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

In the end, Giorno is really just an ordinary teenager, and he deserves a family that will love him despite his harmfulness

After the appearance of another child in the gang, Bruno decided to buy a new PS2, but eventually it was occupied by Narancia and Giorno

Giorno and Mista usually hang around the city and look for new places or entertainment. But, since Mista is a master of creating problems for himself from scratch, most often they find only trouble on their heads

Leone and Giorno like to watch movies together (mainly because apart from Bruno, no one else can make Leone a decent company). They watched "3000 Miles to Graceland" at the cinema, and they didn't like it XD

Giorno and Fugo's conversations are similar to all those conspiracy theories in which the events of the film are actually the dying delirium of the protagonist. Recently, they watched the Matrix with the whole gang, so the conversations of these two acquired a very specific topic

Bruno usually takes Giorno with him to patrol the streets and communicate with the townspeople. And, of course, Giorno does not steal from old ladies, he just likes to tease Bruno
