Fic Scrap: Pregnant Regulus

Personally, I like the idea of trans Regulus agreeing to become pregnant, because this man will not let anything stop him from having James Potter's Baby.

Pregnant Regulus is doing well. His husband is very loving and gentle and indulges all his moods. His friends and brother are supportive. Everything is well.

Except that the family tapestry in 12 Grimmauld Place begins to change, announcing a new Black child.

Walburga is elated, of course. Even if its a Potter, at this point a pureblood heir is a pureblood heir.

She tries to weasel her way back into Regulus’s life with "motherly advise" and presents for the baby.

And Regulus, while weary, can't help but want to believe she has changed. He spent the majority of his life trying to please her and maker her love him. So, he doesn't immediately shut her down. He doesn't tell James about it, either. He'd only worry.

But of course Walburga has not changed whatsoever. As soon as she felt having an ounce of control over him again, she deadnames him, praises him for "coming to his senses" and "fulfilling his duties as a wife and daughter."

Regulus is a strong man, but his parents have always been his weakness. He wasn't like Sirius, who was happy to rebel and cut them out.

Regulus is riddled with anxiety & new dysphoria about the pregnancy, the baby, his husband finding out about all of this.

One afternoon, his mother has, again, forced her way into his home and sat in his living room sneering at the tea, making remarks about the decor and James and how Regulus needed to make sure he lost the baby fat as soon as possible after the birth because men "don't like fat women."

She's in the middle of such a tirade, when Regulus hears the floo and suddenly, James stands in the room. He takes one look at his pale, upset husband and all hell breaks loose.

How dare this woman enter his home? How dare this woman upset his husband? How dare this woman talk to him like this? She didn't have a daughter and she had no claim to their child!

He throws her out of the house - and she can be glad it was through the front door, not a second-story window - and then goes to comfort his husband.

Regulus is crying and apologising for being so stupid as to fall for her, and for not telling him about it.

James just pulls him into his arms, kisses him with all the gentleness of the world and assures him he doesn't have to apologise. It's not his fault for wanting to believe his mother could have a bit of humanity left in her.

He gives him tea and takes him to bed. He needs to rest after weeks of this torment.

Then he writes to Sirius to stay at their place for the rest of the pregnancy and curse Walburga on sight, if necessary.

You know what I need? I need an au where Viktor, Jayce, Vi and Jinx all live in the same disgustingly messy share house and it’s an endearing fucking nightmare. The place is a mess, there are half completed experiments on every available surface, a punching bag in the middle of the living room and scribbles on the walls.

Jayce hates all the Crayola ass wall art Jinx does and Vi is adamant she needs it for emotional expression and if he tries to stop her she will break his wrist. Jinx then starts targeting Jayce’s shit specifically which he then complains to Viktor about.

Vi and Jayce argue over who gets to man the barbeque literally every time because their masculinity depends on it and Jinx and Victor just sit back and watch, amused.

Jayce is the house chef and he’s really great, but he’s also super biased to Viktor’s taste. Down to cutting the meat the way Viktor likes it which Vi thinks is sweet and Jinx complains about loudly. Jinx isn’t even eating the fucking food she’s there complaining about his beta cuck cooking while eating microwave chicken nuggets sitting on the counter.

Viktor is constantly giving Jinx constructive criticism on her work which she complains about but greatly appreciates. The Viktor and Jinx petty bitch fights are worse than the Jayce/Vi barbeque war and can go on for days. We need more of the shit they were pulling in the commune with jinx making an ableist joke and Viktor immediately whipping out the deadname.

Jinx calls Jayce and Vi bitch mitten 1 and 2 occasionally and it pisses them of. Viktor did it by accident once and Jayce was so offended.

Both Viktor and Jayce relate to Jinx with their experiences with suicidal ideation and give her some coping mechanisms to help her and Vi is so grateful she butch lesbians her way through building the two a really nice storage cabinet for some of their inventions.

Vi is not allowed to cook in the kitchen. Everyone else in the house unanimously agreed. She set the microwave on fire one too many times.

This is my season 2 copium and I will be thinking about it none stop until the sun explodes.

[homunculus-argument]

I've been confused for my own mother before (buying something with a credit card with my deadname on it, having a doctor's office receptionist double-check that I am the patient and not calling on his behalf because I "sounded more mature" on the phone and parents can't make appointments for adults), but I think the funniest wrong conclusion I've had strangers make about trans things I've had around was this time I was putting my old shit up at a flea market. I was selling stuff at a "this shit's gotta go before I'm about to move and I'm not hauling these back to another city"-price, and this old man who apparently frequented there to find stuff that's actually valuable being sold at such prices came to have a look at the goods while I was setting them up.

He was interested in some of my dishware, and asked politely if he could have a look at them while I was unpacking, and chatting with me while he waited for me to be done since he couldn't buy them before I was done (I let him have dibs, but the cash register wouldn't ring them up before I was all set). He apparently noticed that some of my silverware that I'd gotten as graduation gifts and literally never used had my old name engraved on them, but he didn't say anything about that.

But when I put up my old graduation dress - which wasn't worth much, cheap fake silk but it was a nice cut - he remarked "she must've left in a hurry to leave that behind." Since the finnish language doesn't have gendered pronouns, I didn't immediately make the connection that he was referring to someone female before he gestured at the dress. Once it clicked, I figured the best course of action was to just nod that yeah, she's not coming back for those and I'm not keeping them.

Dude had concluded that my deadname must be an ex that dumped my ass so fucking fast she didn't even pack her silverware or nice clothes.

“In its post about Sandri, Libs of TikTok used her previous legal name, a practice called “deadnaming” that is widely considered offensive among the trans community, and also misgendered her and asked, “Would you feel comfortable with this person teaching your kid?” The account also shared a screenshot of one of Sandri’s posts about the different kinds of LGBTQ Pride flags, saying she was “pushing” the content on her public TikTok where students can follow her.

State Rep. Brian Harrison, who represents Red Oak, where the school is located, shared Libs of TikTok’s post on X and demanded that Sandri be “immediately terminated.”

“Public schools (and the property taxes that fund them) are for education ... not leftist indoctrination!” Harrison wrote.

Chaya Raichik, the far-right activist who runs the Libs of TikTok account, did not return a request for comment.

In an emailed statement, Harrison said he is "proud to have helped deliver this victory to protect Texas students."

"Public schools are for education, not indoctrination," he said. "Any teacher who claims to get 'gender euphoria' from their minor students and teaches them that boys can become girls should be terminated immediately."

While Sandri said she never taught her students about transitioning and allowed them to address her however they felt comfortable, Harrison's spokesperson alleged Sandri abused her position "by coercing the students" into calling her the "wrong gender."

Sandri said that she was out sick last Wednesday, when Libs of TikTok initially shared her video, but that she started receiving threats and harassment to her personal and school email accounts and on social media shortly after.”

An eligible husband.. (a Jegulus and Rosekiller Microfic)

For @imheredisappointingmyparents TW: deadnaming

He knew it was stupid to laugh. He was asking for trouble, really. But it was too perfect. He couldn't help it.

"Evan?" he asked, looking at his mother.

"Yes, Regina. You must marry an eligible pureblood and carry on our line," Walburga explained, her expression steely.

Regulus looked back at Evan's picture and tried not to burst. "You want me to marry Evan," he stated, just to be sure.

"Yes, Regina. We're in talks with his family."

"Right. I...right. I have to go, Mother. The Hogwarts Express arrives soon," Regulus said with a roll of his eyes. In his head he knew that he was more likely to marry the Giant Squid than Evan, but it wasn't worth arguing with his mother now.

-

When Evan joined Regulus and his other friends in their normal compartment, Regulus knew right away that he wasn't the only one who had received the exciting news. It was all over Evan's face.

So he decided to...share the news.

"Evan and I are engaged," He volunteered casually as Evan sat down next to Barty, who immediately yelped and started coughing.

"What? You're-" Barty asked, his face aghast.

But Regulus just grinned, enjoying the entertainment. "Yes, nobody's told you? We've been set up. We're going to be married after Hogwarts."

Immediately, Evan started calming Barty, rolling his eyes and saying he was not going to marry Regulus.

"But Evan! We would be such a good couple," Regulus deadpanned, fighting back a smirk.

"Just wait until your boyfriend finds out!" Evan retorted loudly. "He's even more territorial than Barty!"

Regulus paled, thinking about James's reaction. He didn't quite fancy holding him back from beating up his mother. "I want a divorce," he grumbled to Evan.

Ruggie Vs Trans!Yuu

Aka how would Ruggie react to a mtf!yuu and ftm!yuu (This keeps coming to me in dreams)

🐾 Ruggie Bucchi with a MTF!Yuu

At first, Ruggie doesn’t even blink when Yuu comes out as a trans woman. He’s from the Wild Savannah, a place with deeply ingrained social structures, sure—but he’s also incredibly adaptable, observant, and street-smart. His immediate reaction? A grin and a shrug.

“Eh? That so? Cool, good for ya, Yuu.”

But internally?

Ruggie definitely has a knee-jerk hyena instinct moment.

Like, his brain short-circuits just a bit. Something ancient and primal in his hyena-coded instincts goes:

"Oh. Dominant female. Respect immediately." Even if logically he knows Yuu wasn’t born with the physical traits associated with Wild Savannah females, the second she claims that identity—his instincts click into place. His tail would tuck between his legs.

He doesn't fear her like she’ll hurt him—but it’s this weird mix of:

admiration,

caution,

and a little submissiveness.

He starts calling her "Boss" half-jokingly, but also half-seriously. Like:

“Heh, remind me not to get on your bad side, Boss Lady.”

He absolutely respects her transition and identity, never misgenders or deadnames. He’s too sharp to make that kind of mistake—and he hates when others do. He might even go out of his way to “correct” someone in a passive-aggressive Ruggie way:

“Ohhh, ya meant her. You know—Yuu. Use your words right, yeah?”

Ruggie also probably gets weirdly defensive if someone tries to undermine her femininity.

He’s not one to throw hands unless money’s involved, but he’ll get right up in someone’s face if they say anything disrespectful. Especially if it triggers that Savannah-born instinct that says, “You do not mess with a female.”

If they're close or dating? He spoils her so hard—but lowkey. Steals snacks she likes. Calls her “princess” in that teasing-but-means-it way. Lets her borrow his jacket. Always offers his arm when walking through crowds.

And behind closed doors, he tells her:

“Ya know, you don’t gotta prove nothin’. You are who you say you are. That’s more than enough.”

🐾 Ruggie Bucchi with a FTM!Yuu (trans)

At first, Ruggie’s reaction is super casual. You tell him you’re a guy, and he just nods with a lazy grin.

“Aight, cool. Thanks for tellin’ me, dude.”

But internally? Oh, boy. His Wild Savannah brain is reconfiguring itself like a whole operating system update just happened.

Because in his homeland? You were born with the body that usually meant "intimidating," "dominant," or "don’t mess with." So when you step forward and go, "Nah—I’m a guy," something ancient in his instincts gets reversed.

That little hyena instinct that usually flinches around dominant females? Now it’s like:

“OH—HE’S a guy. A guy who was born in a female-coded body and still carries that presence? That’s terrifying. I love him.”

There’s this weird subconscious respect/fear combo, and you better believe he starts treating you like someone who could kick his ass—even if you’re not threatening at all.

He might say stuff like:

“Jeez, you’re kinda scary, huh? Not like, bad-scary—just, y’know... cool-scary.”

But like, respectfully.

Once the dust settles in his brain, he genuinely supports you. Ruggie knows what it’s like to fight for space, for respect, and for survival. So when he realizes you’re walking your own path, being your true self no matter what? He respects the hell out of that.

He’ll defend you if anyone misgenders you:

“Uh—he said no pickles on the sandwich, yeah? Get it right.”

He becomes your little gremlin guard dog. Not in a loud way—just in the “he will use is UM and make them trip and say it was an accident” kind of way.

If you’re dating? Ohhh boy, he’s SO proud of you. You might find him subtly hyping you up all the time.

“Look at you, handsome. You’re gonna give me a complex if you keep lookin’ this good.”

He’s the type to toss you his hoodie and then blush because you look more masc than him wearing it.

Also: he absolutely brags about you when no one’s around.

“Yuu? Oh yeah, he’s a badass. You don’t wanna mess with him. He’ll take you down and correct your grammar while he’s at it.”

[acepalindrome]

Okay, how about happier trans Emmrich headcanon.

I feel like the Mourn Watch would provide whatever gender affirming care their people need, but I also like to think about nervous teenage Emmrich coming out to Johanna first and no one else just yet, so she makes him the jankiest DIY HRT. It does the job, just don’t ask how it was made. He’s so happy when he finally starts growing his first little mustache.

Johanna’s reaction to him coming out was basically ‘fine, whatever.’ She immediately updates her mental database so she never once deadnames or misgenders him. Her research partner/rival is a man, end of story, she has more important things to worry about.

She also gets very aggravated when people do deadname or misgender him, not because she cares about his stupid feelings, but because she hates people being wrong!! It’s very fucking simple, you imbeciles!! He’s a man and he has a name!! Get it right, you troglodyte!! Stop smiling at me Emmrich Volkarin, I don’t care about you, I’m just sick of this idiocy. I’m serious! Wipe that grin off your face right this minute!

[wolfertinger]

apologies, for lack of asks answered. they will be gotten to. i have been doing a lot of thinking, tonight.

i do not know, what wis and salem want. there is nothing, that lying yourself into a hole, will do. and that is all they seem capable, of doing.

what i want, is accountability. admittance, that he lied in the past, and that he will not do it again. but genuine apologies do not occur, unless the person GENUINELY means it. and so far. salem has run from every opportunity to change, directly back into his old ways.

in terms of the past.

salem is not sorry, for kung fu revvy. because he immediately excused it away, with "racial delusions", and "being raised american, and learning to inherently fetishize asians".

salem is not sorry, for lying about experiencing sexual assault and a miscarriage, in order to escape a callout, because he immediately excused that away, too. claiming, "it was all just a delusion". even though he was caught lying about it being true, as recently as 2024.

salem is not sorry, for fetishizing transfems. as all of his partners, with the exception of sawyer, have been transfem (and he has lied publicly, about every single one), he has continued his excessive fixation on their genitals, and ignores their personhood, in favor of sexual art.

he is not sorry, for exposing minors to excessive nsfw, and even thinks it is "the minor's responsibility", to stay away from him, an adult.

in terms of the PRESENT.

he is not sorry, for supporting a rapist, that self admitted to raping her partner repeatedly, continuing sex when they asked to stop, even relaying the same exact story with no pressure, to wis. repeatedly telling wis, "i am a rapist", and wis admitting, that she did not fully understand the weight, of the situation. that of course she backtracked on, and lied further for. wis, verbatim, has said "even IF she was found [to be a rapist], i don't see how that reflects badly on ME for defending [her]." and lied, about not receiving full context. she spoke DIRECTLY to mari, and sawyer. unless she is lying, about her contact with mari, for some reason.

that SALEM HIMSELF has said he cannot be around this person, because he is scared of being around a "potential rapist". should have been enough for wis. but this rapist she defends, also, has called her a "gooner", an "ugly monster", and said she "should kill herself".

he is not sorry, for supporting a groomer, that SELF ADMITTEDLY "GROOMED" AND TRAUMATIZED HIM, that targetted two separate teenagers, for her on sexual purposes. and for being a kiwifarmer, that deadnamed and misgendered him, and leaked private information of his, for literally no benefit of her own. ironically. wis STILL defends torin, to this day. claiming she is a, "brain damaged mentally ill homeless Trans woman", does not detract from the fact, she groomed two minors, apparently groomed salem, and continues to try and harass her victims, using burner accounts.

he is not sorry, for platforming another serial abuser, who lies down to their identity, lied about a wellness check being a "swatting attempt", keeps a limbless, disabled raccoon that is fed junk food, and kept morbidly obese, despite also lying about being homeless, at the exact same time. she makes alts to defend herself, where she lies about her race, as well. all of this, while she throws false rape accusations, at innocent trans people. including claiming that her partner, that did nothing more than cuddle with her consent and/or initiation, and was always within view of her family, somehow raped her. along side claiming that drawn art, depicting her character in a dominating, cnc scene with her victims submissive character, was considered ""rape"", or at least, not discerned from IRL, actual, rape.

i could go on, about the types of people, he chooses to support. but this is just what i have, with proof, of their claims being lies. how much further, does it need to go. how many more people, does he need to hurt, before he gets better. because he is the same exact person he was, back in 2022. three years have passed, yet he behaves the exact same, and will never stop, so long as he is enabled.

i do not know what salem wants. i do not know what wis wants. other than their victims to be silenced, and their abuse to continue. this behavior is unacceptable. there comes a point, there is too much pressure. wis going on, to thinking DEADNAMING her victims, is acceptable, is unthinkable. why is it okay, for you to target and make fun of your victims religious trauma. their race. their sexuality, gender, and discovery, that they were intersex, and mutilated at birth. telling a latino person, "nazis are coming for them", the DAY trump announced ice squads coming to SCHOOLS and HOSPITALS to deport "illegals".

this is abuse. i do not know, what else to say. i do not know what else to do. the proof is here. i have given everything. it is their turn. give me proof, that what i am doing is wrong, that letting victims have a voice is wrong. wis, salem. if you can send me ONE piece of evidence, out of all of your ranting and raving, over a rape victim. i will stop. but you do not have anything. and you will just continue to lie.

you do not want the truth. you want silence.

[apollo41writes]

I am sick but I came up with this idea and I need it out of my brain so I can finally sleep in peace!

So random prompt I guess. A fake/pretend marriage between Sanji and Zoro, but set in a Bridgerton-like world!

I promise it works! Grab a cup of tea and hear me out.

About Zoro:

First of all, Zoro is a trans male AFAB. But because society still sucks the only place where he can be himself is at home with his sister Perona and his adoptive father Dracule.

Plenty of space to add things about Zoro's backstory as well! Even Kuina as the catalyst of Zoro coming out to his family as trans, and the whole drama of her dying and promising that he would shape his life however he wants.

Zoro obviously loves and respects Mihawk because he did save his life and gave him a home and a family when Zoro lost his (yes, Zoro still keeps the Roronoa family name because they are another influential family or something). But Zoro also hates him, because Mihawk forces Zoro to debut in society like a girl, hoping he would find a husband for his "second daughter". Hopefully a husband that will understand that "Azura" is actually Zoro, and that will not cause a scandal when he realizes that it will be Zoro he will be married to.

Zoro also loves Perona, because once Zoro told her that he was a boy and not a girl, Perona immediately respected his wishes and started referring to him as a male. But Zoro still hates that after that he basically was still forced to participate in Perona's fake tea parties or make believe stories, this time as the prince or, when she was in a particularly grim mood (which is quite often) as the evil guy in one of her overdramatic fantastical scenarios. Also, as soon as Mihawk told them that Zoro was gonna debut as a girl with her deadname, Zoro went back to being Perona's favorite doll to dress up before a ball/party in high society.

(Zoro all dolled up and being the angriest looking wallflower ever is just an image that will be stuck in my brain forever.)

About Sanji:

So picture Sanji, the third heir of the (in)famous Vinsmokes and a man that everyone thought was dead, that suddenly pops up out of nowhere and becomes immediately the most talked about bachelor and the dream match for every meddling mama in high society. After all, they see Sanji as an extremely attractive man with perfect manners, which is absurdly galant with women and has the whole mysterious aura that attracts people like flies. Also, you know, there's the Vinsmokes name and fortune for whatever lucky girl manages to marry him and give him a male heir. (Sanji is still Sanji, so he is still gonna melt and simp over every woman. Which just means that after a while he does get the womanizer/pervert reputation.)

There is obviously a lot of gossiping and speculation about Sanji's past, but nobody knows what actually happened. Most people believe the story Judge spins: Sanji had been lost at sea during a storm while they were traveling on a ship, and that he must have washed ashore somewhere far away. That a kind man found him and took him in, but that Sanji had amnesia and didn't remember anything about his family, so he stayed for years with that man. Judge also kind of spins it to his favor that he told everyone that Sanji died because he wanted to spare the pain to his wife, who was already sick. But when his wife was on her dying bed she made him promise to look for their lost son, and Judge did so to honor his wife, that he says died of a broken heart because of Sanji's supposed death. (Sanji is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED by this narrative, of course.)

The reality is that Judge disowned him when he was in his early teens (like 11 or 12) for some stupid reason like "you are too sensitive" (idunnow, just Judge being Judge), and tried to kill him by making it look like an incident. So Sanji really almost drowned, but he was saved by Zeff that saw the attempted murder, and decided to take Sanji in as his own child. And everything was alright for a while; Sanji travelled around Europe with Zeff, who was a renowned chef that cooked for rich people and even royalty. Years after that, Judge comes to him with blackmail/a threat: he either comes back to the family and find a good influential girl to marry, or Judge is gonna kill Zeff. Reason for this is that Judge considers his daughter as his own servant, and plans to never let her marry anyone not to squander the family money. His other sons are pieces of shit that think women are only good to be fucked and broken, so they refuse to marry because they want to abuse whores, duel people for petty reasons and get drunk all of the time (still pieces of shit, but of little use to Judge for anything other than running the weapon family business empire). And even when Judge tried to force a marriage to get at least one heir, the poor woman was so severely abused that she killed herself three days after the marriage.

Then Judge found out that Sanji was still alive (maybe from a society paper with a portrait and "his protege" after they got invited to cook for the King) and had him spied on for a while to get some leverage to blackmail him into being his obedient "long lost son" and give him a fucking heir.

Sanji loves Zeff way too much to let anything happen to him, and he decides to sacrifice himself. But he's not a child anymore, and while he's still scared of Judge, he still plans to destroy him once and for all, so he can live peacefully and as he pleases. So he will fake compliance, but will find a way not only to save Jeff, but to ruin the Vinsmokes name once and for all. He just has to carefully move through high society while he does that. While also making sure that he doesn't break a poor woman's heart or ruin her reputation.

Here comes the actual "plot". (I know this post is super long already. Sorry not sorry.)

Judge obviously wants a politically and economically convenient match, so he tries to force Sanji to marry Pudding. And while Sanji thinks that Pudding is perfectly lovely, he also doesn't want to marry her on principle, not only because he wants to disobey Judge, but also because he doesn't like Pudding's family and doesn't want to drag her in all of the familial drama. (Plenty of space for the whole Charlotte family bullshit as well, but I'm not gonna delve into it rn.)

Judge obviously has a whole scheme for trapping him in marrying Pudding (and yes, she is a "willing" part of the scheme). Like, one of those almost fake scandals where the two are found out in a compromising situation and are forced to marry not to ruin the family name bullshit. Which would absolutely work with Sanji since he would never hurt Pudding's reputation.

Everything is ruined by Zoro's abysmal sense of direction. While trying to hide from "Azura's suitors"/getting the fuck out of there, he ruins Judge's carefully planned fake misunderstanding by being the one that accidentally falls into Sanji's lap in a "secluded alcove" and is found out by gossip prone mamas in the compromising situation. Judge isn't happy about it, but still agrees to it because of Zoro's own family name and fortune that will become Sanji's, and the reputation of the Dracule himself which can still be useful to Judge.

Zoro doesn't really care for his own reputation, he almost thinks this is just perfect: if he's ruined nobody will want to marry him and he can live as he pleases. But Mihawk makes it plainly clear that if he does that he will ruin any chance for his sister to have a good match. And Perona is a romantic that hopes for a soulmate to have kids and a happy family with, so Zoro sacrifices himself for her sake.

Sanji thinks that this is just perfect. Judge was played by his own scheming! Now, he just needs to deal with his soon to be wife. She doesn't seem to want the marriage at all, so maybe if he explained the situation she would accept a marriage of convenience, and once Judge is finally dealt with, he can get an annulment for the marriage without ruining Azura's reputation.

After Sanji explains, Zoro is elated: he doesn't actually have to be a wife! And he even admits to Sanji about how he is actually a man and would like to be called Zoro. Sanji is obviously a little bit confused at first, but Zoro kind of implies that he will agree to the farcical marriage only if Sanji treats him like a man, so at the end of the day he agrees that at least in private Zoro can be whoever he wants and Sanji won't bother him.

Obviously Sanji gets rid of all the staff Judge picked for the "happy couple"'s new home, and he replaces them with both people that he trusted from his previous life with Jeff and that will never betray him by spilling his secrets to Judge, and with people picked by Dracule Mihawk's staff that already know about the whole "Zoro, not Azura" thing. Judge doesn't like it, but has to compromise because Mihawk insists that the house (the Roronoa estate maybe) and staff are his gift for the happy couple and he won't budge on it. (Zoro asked for it obviously, and Mihawk agreed since Zoro doesn't ever ask for things and he does feel a bit guilty for forcing Zoro into the marriage.)

After that there is obviously the slow burn of Sanji and Zoro actually falling in love with each other, and probably lots of shenanigans with the rest of the Strawhat crew that are members of high society as well. Or part of the staff, don't know... Not gonna do a deep dive on them as well, but they are there and crazy like always.

My brain is stunk on the idea of Sanji and Zoro riding horses together (with Zoro being dumbstruck by how pretty and carefree Sanji is; also lots of bickering because Zoro almost gets lost in a property he's supposed to know better). Sanji and Zoro having a sparring fencing match (and Sanji is both pissed and turned off when he realizes that Zoro is A BEAST when it comes to fighting and he's absolutely a better swordsman than Sanji); Zoro and Sanji getting super drunk after getting home early from a party (everyone thinks they are rushing home because they are still in the "honeymoon" phase, instead Sanji dragged Zoro home because Zoro was about to punch one of Sanji's brothers after they made fun of Sanji & made inappropriate comments on Perona); Zoro insisting that Sanji let him try smoking (and promptly making a fool of himself by choking on the smoke, while also questioning why the smells if smoke has become so comforting when the taste of tobacco sucks so much). Also Sanji cooking for Zoro until he finds out all of Zoro's favorite dishes (and being appalled by Zoro's lack of decorum when eating something he likes). Literally just these two dorks falling in love in the most domestic way.

Of course at first Sanji is still reluctant to let Zoro do manly things, since he struggles to see Azura as anything other than the lovely lady he transforms into for balls and parties. But slowly things start to change and he gets to know Zoro for real and, "Zoro has such terrible manners! How could he be anything but a man?". He obviously has to deal with the whole "does this mean that I am attracted by a man?" thing as well once he realizes that he doesn't mind being married to Zoro. And then he thinks that he doesn't even mind the idea of calling Zoro his husband and not his wife! Wtf is wrong with him?! And on and on with the crisis.

Zoro isn't doing much better because he never thought he could find marriage such a bearable ordeal. Sure, he constantly bickers with Sanji about almost anything, and he doesn't get the whole "women should be cherished" and all. But Sanji is also respectful of his boundaries and not once has he called Zoro by his deadname in private; rather, he almost slipped and used "Zoro" at parties as well multiple times. Zoro also knows that Sanji finds him attractive when he's all dolled up as Azura for whatever high society event they have to attend. But Zoro is not Azura and doesn't want to pretend he is; so will Sanji ever actually love him as a partner, an equal, a man, or will they just split and go their separate ways when they finally deal with Judge?

And in the meantime they still have to find a way to get Zeff to safety and destroy the Vinsmokes (which, Sanji realizes is quite more complicated that he thought at first, since he actually hopes to save his sister somehow after she shows how much she still cares about Sanji; not his brothers tho, they are still assholes).

The rest of the gang obviously helps Zoro and Sanji (lots of trying to actually get them together as well, since they see the love grow between them).

As for the smutty part, they get there eventually. It's for sure more of a slow burn thing compared to the usual Bridgerton vibe.

And that's all I have. I'm gonna go to sleep. Do with this damn thing whatever you want, cause I sure am NOT gonna write this monster.

Republican Rep. Keith Self of Texas abruptly adjourned a subcommittee meeting after he caught flak for repeatedly misgendering Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.), the first openly transgender member of Congress and a frequent target of right-wing bullies.

The incident unfolded during a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing on Tuesday when Self, who chairs the subcommittee on Europe, handed the floor over to McBride, referring to her as “Mr. McBride.”

Without skipping a beat, McBride briefly grimaced and responded, “Thank you, Madam Chair,” and began speaking. Then ranking member Rep. Bill Keating (D-Mass.) cut in, demanding accountability from Self.

“Mr. Chairman, could you repeat your introduction again, please?” Keating said to Self. Flustered, Self began to defend himself: “Yes, it’s a ― we have set the standard on the floor of the House, and I’m simply ―” he said until Keating cut in again.

“What is that standard? Mr. Chairman?” Keating asked. “Would you repeat what you just said when you introduced a duly elected representative from the United States of America, please?”

Self responded by misgendering McBride again. “I will. The representative from Delaware, Mr. McBride,” he said.

Keating grew firmer as the exchange heated up.

“Mr. Chairman, you are out of order. Mr. Chairman, have you no decency? I mean, I have come to know you a little bit, but this is not decent,” he said.

When Self said he’d like to continue on with the meeting, Keating pushed back: “We will continue this. You will not continue it with me unless you introduce a duly elected representative the right way.”

Self immediately banged the gavel and adjourned the meeting. Keating slammed his notebook shut and stood up to leave.

Self reposted a video of the incident on social media and wrote, “It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.” He also reposted support from Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.), who used McBride’s deadname from before her transition. “Enough with the lies,” Miller wrote. “As God ordained and President Trump declared, there are only TWO GENDERS: Male and Female!”

McBride’s legally recognized gender is female, one of the two that Self and Miller claim is acceptable.

Self didn’t respond to requests for further comment on the incident, and neither did McBride nor Keating.

Transmasc Chase Headcanons :)

You can pry this headcanon from my cold dead hands :)

-House was the first one to figure out that he was trans. When Chase's dad called in the favor for House to hire him, he used his deadname and feminine terms. House pretty much realized Chase was trans the second he saw him and didn't want to make a big deal out of it. He said something actually really nice like "Oh, remind me of your name again." so he could introduce himself the way he wanted.

-Cameron actually did not realize Chase was trans the first time they fucked because she was high out of her mind. But they discussed it when they continued their relationship and she was also really cool about it. She'd probably want to help out with his T shots and stuff even though he could do it perfectly fine by himself.

-He hesitated to tell Foreman because he felt like Foreman was the first person to ever see him as "one of the guys", and he admired Foreman and was afraid that he would stop seeing him that way if he ever came out, but he probably came out eventually and Foreman was also cool.

-Thirteen clocked his ass immediately. She probably asked him his pronouns and he got very flustered.

-A few little kids he's had on clinic duty have asked him if he was a boy or a girl (because of the long hair) and it always gives him dysphoria. It stopped after his cut his hair which made him happy even though he actually really liked his long hair.

-He mostly liked being described as "pretty" or as a "pretty boy", but a small part of him didn't like the term "pretty", and wished he could either be considered more classically handsome, or just be considered more masc in general. But he was mostly really attached to being pretty and that's why he only cut his hair and grew out his beard after a life shattering event.

-In a similar vain, House gave Chase hella gender envy. He saw him as a father figure and wanted to "grow up" (not really cause he's an adult but you get the point) and be like him, or at least look like him. And he achieved his goal! Yay!

-Rowan Chase was definitely super transphobic. That's probably why he cut Chase out of his will and didn't even tell him that he was dying. If Chase wasn't his daughter, Chase wasn't his child at all.

-He actually went to wherever you go to become a nun, not seminary school. The seminary school thing was a lie, but he got kicked out for the same reason (having sex). Growing up Catholic definitely affected the way he saw himself and his gender.

That's it for now. I'll probably have more at some point :).

@jegulus-microfic | march 7 phase | words: 644

tw: transphobia, anger issues, swearing

When Walburga finally passed away, Regulus and Sirius took their partners to check if there was anything worth keeping in the house they grew up in.

As they entered a shiver went down Regulus spine, all the horrible memories coming back. He wanted to leave as soon as he saw the family portrait hung on the wall across from the entrance. There were four figures painted on it - Walburga, who looked terrifying even in a painting that was supposed to warm her image; next to her stood Orion, haughty, with a mustache covering his mouth; they both had one of their hands each on the shoulders of their children - Sirius and someone Regulus never was.

"Love, you're shaking," a soft whisper came to his ear as a hand reached his back, squeezing lightly in a comforting gesture, calming him down a little. "They're gone, nothing's going to happen, I've got you," James murmured into his hair, kissing him there a moment later.

Feeling a bit less stressed Regulus nodded and smiled at his fiancé, taking his hand. James smiled, too, squeezing the hand lightly.

As they went through the Grimmauld Place lots of expensive, mostly useless shit was found - some swords, ancient piano, silverware made of real silver, Dior plates (why? just… why?) and paintings by famous painters such as Rubens, Monet and some others. Reaching second floor Regulus immediately went to scratch off the name tag on his old room’s door.

"This bitch! She could have just left it, but of course not! It would be too much of a disgrace to the family if anyone noticed!" he yelled, as the tag fell to the floor piece by piece. Regulus started banging on the door, angry to the point that tears of frustration started streaming down his face. "You could’ve just tear it off and not put another one on, but of course you’re too envious for that! I hate you! Do you hear me?! I!" bang. "Hate!" bang. "YOU!" Regulus may have acted a bit psychotically, but who wouldn't in his situation? His own mother was being transphobic towards him even from her grave.

When he calmed down few minutes later, James approached him, kneeling by his side and whipping the tears away. "Better?" he asked Regulus and he responded with a small nod. At that James pulled Reg to his chest and held tight, whispering sweet nothings to him.

***

A few hours after Regulus' breakdown, they had packed up all of their old clothes (most of them were to be sold and the rest would be given to their future children), grabbed some of the nicer things their parents had left behind, and sat in the living room with tea and an old photo album. As they flipped through the pages there were comments like ‘Don’t you have any normal pictures? Like, from a bathtub or a playground or something?’, provided mostly by Remus.

When Regulus turned another page James gasped and Remus whistled. In the photo, he sat at the Christmas Eve table with freshly cut short hair, wearing a black suit and matching tie.

"Your inner Sirius awoke that year, huh?" his brother-in-law asked with amusement.

"Oh, his inner Sirius awoke to the point he even wore a binder to piss them off further. And I, as an ally, acted like I didn’t know who they were referring to anytime someone used his deadname. Mother told me to stop then, remember Reggie?" his brother asked, turning to him. "She said that it was just a phase" they both laughed at the memory. Yes, Walburga almost had a stroke as Regulus walked down the stairs in one of Sirius’ old suits and a new haircut. She was so stunned she forgot to punish him after everyone went home.

"Well," Reg said, smirking smugly "I guess it wasn’t just a phase, mother."

part 2! part one part pre

TW THIS CONTAINS WALBURGA, deadnaming, internalized transphobia, suicide joke (it's dorcas and barty)

@r0seprincess it's late but we love the meadowes family :3

Now, Dorcas was in the Ravenclaw common room. The straw-haired boy, Barty, was draped across a couch while the twins were lying on the ground. Regulus was there too, only just entering the scene as the memory began.

"Barty," Regulus said, unwrapping a scarf from his neck. "Please tell me why the riddles to get in to this tower are so easy."

"They're not supposed to be," Barty replied. "Also, your hair's getting long, Cas. You want me to cut it?"

"And have to make a hair growth potion because you can't even cut your own hair? I think not, Junior," Dorcas responded, grabbing a Potions book out of her bag. Regulus walked over to lean behind her chair. In a voice Hermione could only hear because it was Dorcas's memory, he began to list off everything that needed to be changed about the potion.

A look out the window told Hermione that it was now winter.

Harry drifted over to her, nudging her arm. "Did you hear what Dorcas called him?" he asked. "Junior. His name is Barty. D'you think that's Barty Crouch Junior?"

"Probably," Hermione answered. "What about it?"

"He seems normal," Harry responded. "I wasn't expecting that."

-

"I'm gonna study," Regulus announced before the scene really came into focus.

"Reg, with love and respect, it's not even six in the morning yet," Dorcas said. Looking around, Hermione saw that they appeared to be in some kind of common room, but not one Hermione had ever seen.

"Yeah, and?" Regulus asked. "Bat left an hour ago."

"Bat does that," Dorcas said. "You don't. If you want to visit your brother, you can just say that."

"I don't want to see him," Regulus said. "I'm going to study."

"I'm sure you are," Dorcas replied. "Are you going home for Christmas?"

"I don't want to," Regulus said, eyes downcast.

Hermione could actually see the moment when every instinct that raising her siblings had given Dorcas kicked in. "Hey, Reg. Write your parents, see if they'll let you stay at my place for Christmas and maybe the summer."

Regulus's face brightened immediately. "Yeah, I'll do that."

-

The next scene showed Dorcas, hair up in a bun with Jasper riding piggyback, walking towards the door. Someone had very clearly just knocked.

"Good morning, Dorcas," a smooth, rich voice said. Hermione recognized the woman as Walburga Black. "My Ascella informed me that it was alright for her to stay with you?"

Hermione exchanged a mystified glance with the other two before the kid behind Walburga was revealed.

Regulus Black was standing there, in a dress, with long hair, looking distinctly panicked.

Dorcas, however, responded smoothly, addressing Walburga, then Regulus. "Of course. You're always welcome here, no matter what."

"Fantastic," Walburga said, satisfied smile on her face. "Go on, Ascella. You can stay here the summer, as well."

The second she was gone, Dorcas set Jasper down and wrapped her arms around Regulus. "It's alright, Regulus," Dorcas murmured. She put her hands to his shoulders, holding him at arms' length. "Sweet Salazar, boy, you're like a twig. We'll have that fixed in no time. Come on, you can meet my family."

Hermione knew that Dorcas was providing a distraction as she handed June to Regulus and directed Ari to grab the spice rack out of the cupboard. She waved a hand, and Regulus's hair and outfit changed. Suddenly, his hair was the length it had been in the previous memory and he was wearing a black jumper and Muggle jeans.

"Do you know how to bake?" she asked, but Regulus stopped her with a hand on her arm.

"Do you not care?" he whispered. "Do you not care that I'm sick and wrong and- and-"

"Shh, Reg," Dorcas said, wrapping him in a hug. "You're not any of those things. If you want, we can go find my mother's old book of Greek mythology and see which Greek god decided to screw over people like you- I think it was Apollo, but I could be wrong."

Regulus looked up at her. "Yeah."

But instead of moving, he just buried his face in Dorcas's shoulder. June latched on to their legs, then Astra and Jasper, and then Ari followed.

That was where the scene whirled on.

-

"Alright, Dorcas, we're leaving you in charge!" Dorcas's grandmother called. "Pandora, Evan, and Barty should be arriving soon- send us an owl when they get here."

"Yep," Dorcas replied, not looking up from the magical mixer. Hermione knew that magical cooking things really couldn't be trusted in the seventies, and it wasn't like Dorcas to trust anything other than herself and maybe her friends.

Sure enough, not thirty seconds after Ari, June, Astra, Jasper, and their grandparents left out the front door, Barty showed up in the fire, whirling in the green.

"Hey," Dorcas said, still not looking up.

"Damn," Barty said. "This place actually looks like someone lives in it."

"That was my thought, too," Regulus said. "Whatever. The twins are staying until Yule Break is over and so am I."

"Me too," Barty said, answering the unspoken question. "Well, Cassie looks very invested, so would you show me around her house?"

"Kill yourself, Crouch," Dorcas said without looking up.

"Rather not," Barty called as Regulus led him away. Dorcas shook her head and laughed a little. Hermione had to wonder if she or Regulus had noticed the fresh bruise on Barty's face and just not mentioned it out of respect, or if they knew and were waiting to grill him on it. She wondered how he had gotten it.

The twins came through next, Evan spinning onto the kitchen floor, immediately followed by Pandora. Dorcas pointed them down the hallway.

"What's down the hallway, your torture dungeon?" Pandora asked.

"Regulus and Barty are already here and getting their rooms. We've only got two to spare, so you boys will be sharing and Dora and I can share," Dorcas replied, turning off the mixer with a wave of her hand and sending it into a piping bag.

Evan nodded and the two of them left. A fast few minutes of Dorcas organizing what looked to be cookies and frosting by color and size. Hermione drifted over, and what she saw made her heart swell. Dorcas had baked cookies in traditional Christmas and Yuletide shapes, snowflakes and ornaments and even little gingerbread men.

It was the sweetest thing Hermione had seen Dorcas do. For the most part, she seemed to keep to herself, but this showed how much she valued her friends even in the few months they'd known each other.

It also showed her how sad Dorcas must have been. Ari was young enough that Dorcas would have raised him and the others for most of her life, and a year without anyone relying on her had to be a shock to the system. It was clear she'd immediately adopted Pandora, Evan, Barty and Regulus.

Soon enough, the four came into the kitchen. Pandora was talking animatedly in Barty's direction, and Regulus and Evan were speaking quietly just behind them.

"Dorcas, what's this?" Barty asked, coming up behind her where she was adding tips to piping bags by hand.

"Cookies for decorating," Dorcas answered. "The kids love eating them and I hate decorating, so I thought we could struggle together."

Evan smiled, grabbing a bag of white icing and a snowflake-shaped cookie. He began to pipe icing designs, and Regulus followed his lead with red icing and a Santa hat. Barty and Pandora shrugged at each other, and Barty picked up a star. Pandora picked up a gingerbread man.

Hermione smiled at the scene. Dorcas finished putting the tip on the final bag and began to decorate a cookie in between Regulus and Barty, all of them smiling and joking with Muggle Christmas carols playing softly in the backround.

Someone has to say it : they knew what they were doing with Sora being so transcoded.

You can't just write all of these transcoded scenes in 2023 by "accident" – especially in a show putting random pride flags in the background to be "allies but we won't take too much risks". Intentional coding really feels like something they would do.

We have a character with pink hair who wears fake cat ears (we all remember the trans girls being obsessed with cat ears era, right ?), changed her name for one being meaningful to her, then ran away from an oppressive government and her unsupportive parents to join a found family. Also, her charadesign's color palette is pink, white and blue.

Not to mention the transcoded as heck scenes :

"Who's Ana ??? Her name is Sora !"

"That's my birth name."

"Oh... Well now I feel dumb-"

(Not the exact quote since I watch the show in french, but you get it)

The way Arin just immediately accepted she had a birth name different from her actual name ??? Just like someone who knows you're trans but didn't know what your deadname was ??? Like. Usually in shows, you would expect a big "you lied to me by using a fake name all these years" drama but here, he just couldn't care less. If this isn't Arin being an ally, then what is it ???

People knowing her from when she lived at Imperium calling her "Ana" just to annoy her ??? But even after learning her birth name, none of her friends ever called her "Ana" ???

The scene in part 2 with her parents and all ??? Hello ???

Her admitting she was still influenced by the fact she felt like disappointing her parents ? Then facing them but they didn't change. They were still thinking Imperium was right and all of the bad things they did just weren't true. Tried to convince her to go back after being horrible with her when she needed their support the most, and insisted on calling her "Ana". So she told them one last time her name was "Sora" then left ???

The whole moral being basically "be who you are" ?????

ALL OF THE SCENES. Her whole arc just feels like transcoding. I refuse to believe this wasn't on purpose.

Edit : feels like they're using a not canonically trans character to normalize trans experiences and I'm here for it

[yourlocalxiaosimp]

How I think Genshin characters would react if you came out as trans to them:

Obviously I’m gonna start with my favs

Xiao: he wouldn’t be against it, but you might have to explain what exactly it is because mortal terms aren’t the most important to him.

Gaming: very supportive, would ask if your family knows and supports you. If they don’t, he’s your new brother.

Kaveh: would immediately feel terrible for misgendering you in the past. You might need to reassure him. He will be very mindful in the future, and extremely hard on himself if he slips up.

Itto: immediately offers to beat up anyone who misgenders you (hoping you won’t take it seriously because he would never beat someone up)

Neuvillete: He would be quite confused, but he would support you anyway.

Furina: She would become your number 1 ally the second you finish telling her and even offer to take you shopping for gender affirmative clothing.

Zhongli: He wouldn’t be outward in his support, but he’d definitely accept and acknowledge your identity. As someone who’s changed his own identity, he’s very likely to be someone you can confide in.

Childe: doesn’t care, as long as you can still fight him. He might go slightly easier on you if you’re a trans girl tho (idk I just think it’d be funny)

Barbara: I imagine she’d be a “god loves everyone” kind of ally. What that means I’m not sure, but you see the vision. Right?

Chirori: She’d accept you, and she might even offer to make a new outfit for you. Not for free, obviously.

Cyno: will start making jokes relating to transness (respectfully ofc)

Hu Tao: asks if you want to hold a funeral for your deadname (get it?)

Feel free to add onto this, but I also made a part 2
