#but trashcan man is 100% a trans man

[ghostsandfools]

So, I don't remember what episode this was, but a while back, one of the character's mentioned that a couple couple of dimensions had Creator's that were married. I like to imagine that Sven is one of them, and everyday, after a long day of coding, he goes home and cuddles his loving husband, the trashcan man.

[passable-talent]

are you a girl bc ur typing style sounds like a girl and like the way you act but you say ur a boy in ur about me

hi yes hello um 

what the fuck is wrong with you

to answer the question straightaway, i am a dude, 100% penis-having, spit-on-the-sidewalk man. you can ask the doctor who was there at my birth if you want, because obviously you’re incapable of accepting evidence

i just want to know what makes you think you have the right? what kind of fucking audacity?

if you went into my about me and saw my pronouns, then you have your answer. what the fuck kind of gender stereotyping rooted-in-transphobia bullshit is this? that you saw my pronouns and said ‘nah thats not real better double check’ fucker i have ALREADY answered your question. 

I have trans friends. i cannot even imagine the upset that this message would have caused, if it appeared in their inbox. anon, on behalf of them, FUCK you.

and another thing, ‘the way i act’ ? ‘my typing style’ ? are you from the 1950′s? do people not break gender norms where you’re from? i dont even think i am a very feminine guy, so i’m wondering where the hell you get your ideas from. 

in conclusion, you piece of shit, never ever do this again. this was a deeply piece of shit move that i can only assume is rooted in transphobia. what, you saw a couple feminine behaviors and the pronouns in my about me and said “well if he posts his pronouns, he’s obviously not a REAL man and is trying to convince us that he is.” which is, let me just double check my notes here, yeah, thats whats i thought, okay. THATS TRANSPHOBIA.

and even if i’m off, and this isn’t rooted in transphobia, i’m still fucking baffled. you told me that you went into my about me and saw my pronouns. was that not enough for you? not good enough? what the hell makes you think you need any more than that?

you’re lucky you did this to me, and not a trans man. a trans man would’ve been more than just angry, they would’ve been upset, and you’d be even more of an asshole. 

fuck off, anon. fuck you. i don’t want you on my blog. get the fuck out of here. 

if you’ve got a problem, take it up with the trashcan. i don’t want to hear it. i cannot believe this audacity.

→ BREAD BOYS: FIRENT’S MOST WANTED, a Firentian Firebrand Novel

“Oh no, the Bread Boys are 100% real. I’m real, and I’m in this book, so why wouldn’t they be real?” - Selasi Gnormittah, famed baked of Vesuvia.

“No comment.” - The PR representative for The Royal Publishing House when asked about the legitimacy of the above claim.

READ ABOUT THE FIRENTIAN FIREBRAND PROJECT AND SEE OTHER NOVELS HERE.

⋯⋯♛⋯⋯ SUMMARY

IT’S THE BREAD BOYS! Firent’s most famed and celebrated detectives, not to mention the hottest pieces of ass. Join them as they find enemies new and old, venture into the undercity, and discover the secrets hidden for hundreds of years by the ancient Firebrand Society. Along the way, see Flavian and Sirius discover their long-burning desires for each other (they’re idiots) as well as their even-longer-burning desires for their long-time enemy, Orrin Osla (they’re all idiots).

This copy is owned by Selasi Gbormittah, a baker in Vesuvia who features in the book as the Bread Boys’ biggest fan!

SPECIAL EDITION EXTENDED BLURB

Partners in solving crime since they had been old enough to scream ‘THIEF!’, and no case under their watch having yet gone unsolved, Flavian and Sirius are Firent’s hottest pieces of detective ass. With regular invites to the Isle of Sirenia, a ticket to every party in Firent’s Phoenix District, and an incredibly lucrative Selasi’s Sweet Bread advertising deal, there is nothing they could want for.

Except, perhaps, Orrin Osla’s head on a stick.

Orrin Osla, jewel thief extraordinaire, has long since evaded The Bread Boys (as they have come to be known). With exactly one thievery under her belt, she has spent the better part of the last 10 years reclining in her hightown menagerie living off the riches they could never prove she had stolen.

Until now.

News reaches Flavian and Sirius of the theft of one of the two remaining Firebrand Jewels – one of which they suspect Orrin already to possess, and in a theft that is remarkably similar to the one committed by Orrin exactly 10 years ago to the day. When they move to confront their favourite non-binary jewel thief, it turns out she was already on her way to them – without famous jewel she had supposedly stolen 10 years ago.

Now faced with the possibility that someone is out to collect the jewels and forge them together to form the mythical Myrahhnian Sword, supposedly meant to give whomever wields it to topple every Empire in the known lands. But time is running out, and so is their patience with each other – will they recover the jewels before they are forged? And what happens when their years of pent up rage and furious banter turn out to be something more?

⋯⋯♛⋯⋯

CHARACTERS

Flavian, model-turned-detective. Fashion icon. Morosexual. Flavian is a cis male who uses he/him pronouns, and identifies as bisexual and demiromantic. He is the brains of the operation, as well as the heart, driven by his love for people (and Sirius) to succeed in making Therallan and all of Firent a safer place. When they were offered the sweetbread sponsorship, he nearly cried - he just loves his bread so much.

Sirius, ah man. Ironically named after the second brightest star in the observable sky. A cis male who uses he/him pronouns, and who is the moron to Flavian’s morosexual, though he is not aware. Sirius has his…moments. Once, he uncovered an underground ring of tophat smugglers by dropping a bagel. Another, he saw a raccoon and screamed loud enough to make the man hiding in a nearby trashcan waiting to ambush him also scream. 

Orrin, jewel thief extraoordinaire and long-time enemy of the Bread Boy’s. Orrin is a trans woman who uses she/her pronouns, and has a healthy pansexual and polysexual sex life. Orrin is a city native who has always thrived on chaos, and can be frequently spotted watching bar brawls from the corner of the local tavern while sipping chardonnay. As of current, no one can prove she has started any of these brawls, and quite frankly she’s offended you would even suggest it.

If that ain’t an eclectic fucking mix of music, I don’t know what is :) Be honest now, how many of these songs do y’all know? 

[scalproie]

ok i know nobody asked but turns out i will literally go insane if i dont explain so:

Mike Costa is a comic writer who worked for IDW as the main transformers writer from 2009 to 2011. Ive personally never read the issues he wrote, buuuut from what ive gathered theyre. Not Very Good. Apparently he had trouble writing for transformers because to him the concept itself for transformers was too odd and the robots couldnt have personalities like humans or standards action-adventures heros do. One note-worthy thing he apparently said was that they "didnt have women or (romantic) relationships like that [which] they value because they don't have women that they can love." which is pretty :/

ENTERS JAMES ROBERTS with whom I think he wrote the final storyline of this phase before IDW moved on to the next? Anyway the two were co-writers for a short period. Now if you don't know James Roberts, he is the writer of two big stories in IDW transformers: "More Than Meet The Eyes" and its continuation "Lost Light".

And I'm PRETTY SURE Roberts is the one who put the first, actual canon gay couple in all transformers media (without being ambiguous or difference in dubbing), that being the confirmation of a romantic relationship between Chromedome and Rewind. He then went on to have other canon gay couples (and basically confirming the homoromantic aspect of Cybertron society) such as the slow burn between Tailgate and Cyclonus, Drift and Ratchet, Perceptor and Brainstorm, the latter whom had an entire arc dedicated to him going back in time and messing with the whole universe just to save his gay crush: his coworker Quark, there's also the trans lesbians Lug and Anode... and those are just the main confirmed ones. say what you want about JRo and his writing but the man did put LGBT+ representation in a big franchise comic.

Back to Costa. The year is now 2016 and he is now writing for Marvel, and is in charge of the current Venom comic. And the way he writes the pair is... unironically romantic. gone are the "the symbiote is a metaphor for addiction" and "the symbiote is a malevolent entity and nothing else", the symbiote is its own character with its feelings and fears and it and Eddie just got back together and I'm 100% sure it refers to the church where they first bonded after spiderman rejected it as the place where it and Eddie got married. Yeah. Eddie also calls it love. Yeah. (Also im not sure if its in this one but Eddie Brock, known catholic, compared it to an angel). They also had a child and as opposed to the previous ones (Carnage and the lab gang), they wanted to raise this one with love and care as a family. In 2018, the Costa run ends with Eddie in his underwear beating on the first alien host/abuser of the venom symbiote with a trashcan in the middle of the street yelling that he had "no rights to come here and mess with [his] family" and with the symbiote child, named Sleeper best marvel symbiote dont @ me, lobotomising said abuser and using his body to go explore the universe after saying it loves both his human and symbiote parents dearly, leaving the Venom pair with empty nest syndrome. And thats the Venom 2016 Costa run. Its not perfect but id be lying if i said i didnt have a major soft spot for it. Costa went on records to say he wrote it as a love story and that (before the ultimate issue of his run) he wanted leave them in the best place they could be, just after they've had their baby.

THEN THE MOVIE CAME OUT and y'all know the popularity it had on tumblr. The movie had a different, pretty original take on the Eddie/symbiote dynamic (Venom is the symbiote's name in this one and not the Eddie/symbiote fusion name) and people on here definitely saw the appeal, like theres the "What made you change your mind [about invading and eating us with your symbiote buddies]?" "You. You did, Eddie.", the cut line "Technically it was me!" Venom said when Eddie asked if his ex Ann kissed him, which she did, as She-Venom, to pass the symbiote to him, and was as confused as him, the "think of yourself as my ride". Wild movie. Anyway after the movie, people agreed that the best part of it was the relationship bewteen Eddie and Venom and that it has definitely rom-com vibes, the ship named Symbrock got pretty popular, and naturally, it got people interested in the comics, and what did they found but the recently ended Costa run, who wrote the two as an actual canon romantic pairing. So, probably thanks partially to actual comic back-up, the ship blew up, i think it had like 2 pages or less on AO3 before the movie? It was hundred after that. I think it also was at the n°1 spot in the tumblr ship chart for a while, was def in the top 3 for sure. and naturally there was A LOT of nsfw content for it.

Then a few weeks/months pass and tumblr announces the massive porn ban, and, while it is most likely a coincidence and was probably planned long before the venom movie came out, because of the timing, people joked that the reason for the ban was because of the abundance of art depicting the likeliness of famous actor Tom Hardy having intercourse with a big goo monster.

Anyway thats how two comic writers collaborating for a transformers comic ended up "causing" the tumblr porn ban of 2018, because the joke is that the time co-writing with writer James Roberts influenced writer Mike Costa into leaving his initial thoughts that there couldnt be love if it werent 1) human and 2) straight. Thanks for reading.

Im still thinking about that tf post about transformer artist Pat Lee being linked with Rob Liefeld. And because of the hype for venom 2, im reminded of my other favorite transformer comic story/theory with Mike Costa
