#equivalating it to csa is batshit

[thedawningofthehour]

Hello, I hope you are well. I’m a huge fan and outlining a little dumb fanfiction for doth… Four questions:

1. Who is stronger in a fight? .. Tiger Claw without being armed versus Draxum without being armed?

(No prep time, scene is in for example an empty warehouse, they fight with ALL they have, not to the death but until one of them has to go down/is incapacitated.)

2. also (very dumb question) but if Leonardo was a girl, would Cass x Leo work theoretically in the doth setting?

3. and (even dumber question) if Galois were a girl, how d Draxum‘s relationship with her change? Would Raph worry more about Draxum potentially csa her, or less? (and 4.: What d be her name?)

Hi! I'm sure it's not dumb! I would love to see what you're thinking of, but no pressure!

1-Hmm, that is a good question. I'm assuming we're saying magic powers count as armed, so Drax's plant powers are nixed.

I'm going to say Tigerclaw. Friendly reminder that Tigerclaw, like the turtle boys, was literally genetically engineered to be a killing machine, and he spent time fighting for his life in the Battle Nexus to boot. He's also the equivalent to late twenties-early thirties in Yokai years, so in prime physical condition. (I say as a thirty-year-old with a neck that's been hurting for three days because I turned my head wrong for like five seconds) Draxum might have centuries of experience, but he's old. He's weaker physically than he used to be, his bones are frailer. Plus Tigerclaw's got tiger claws.

Also, like, he's a tiger. Draxum's a fucking goat. Tigers eat those things.

2-oh, most definitely not, Cass would still hate her immensely. Even Cass isn't enough of a lesbian to overlook Threat To Little Sibling.

Also, do we think Leo is the kind of gay that would just switch to being gay for girls if he was a girl, or would he just keep being interested in men?

But I mean, if they were

3-honestly? Hardly at all. The culture Draxum was raised in and the Hidden City culture as a whole is egalitarian, they really don't have gender roles the same way humans do. And they're generally cooler with people who don't fit into the male or female boxes, both due to LGBT+ people being more accepted and a fair whack of Yokai being intersex or some secret other sex specific to their species. (it depends on the subculture, of course, but generally most Yokai lean that way) Drax grew up with his mother as a highly capable warrior and a leader in his tribe, sex and gender are just not something he'd care about. He'd probably dote on a daughter a little more-he's more used to little girls, (Pax is a trans man and realized it when he was a young teenager, so he was still a girl when he moved in with Drax) and I genuinely feel like he'd get super into Girl Dad stuff and owning the patriarchy. (once he learned what the patriarchy is) But the turtles don't have hair for him to lovingly brush and Gale likes wearing dresses anyway, so in practice it's really not that different.

Probably not, that might have been a concern initially but like-Draxum is gay. They know he's gay. And I know CSA especially doesn't always follow people's sexualities, but the reason they were concerned was specifically because Drax was 100% into Lou Jitsu and might see the boys as a 'replacement' for him. So that wouldn't really be a concern unless this was a total genderbend AU where Draxum is straight and Lou Jitsu was a hot lady. (and Big Mama was the lesbian she was always meant to be) Or just everyone is a lez, that could be a fun AU. Aside from the SA, obviously.

4-Oh! I'd have to do some research, Donnie would want to pick a girlboss scientist, or maybe a writer or philosopher. (he's very into pioneer feminist literature) Not Marie Curie, as much as he (and I) appreciate and love her there's been too much French in this story. (I know she was Polish, but still) I'd want to find some chick that was as batshit insane as Evariste Galois was.

Right off the top of my head: Hypatia would be a strong contender, it's unique like Galois is and she once threw her bloody menstrual rags at a dudebro who kept asking her out. Plus the metaphors.

Ada would be another one, for Ada Lovelace, who was essentially the first computer programmer. She was also the only legitimate child of Lord Byron, the only man in history who could rival Lou Jitsu as a fuckboi. So I feel like either would be quite fitting.

I could also see him wanting his title to be Khaleesi. Objectively yeah monarchy is a shit method of government, but he goes feral over dragons and girlbosses. A girlboss who is the mother of dragons? Yes please. Daenerys, Rhaenyra, and Visenya would also be on his list of names. He 100% has a rant about how Visenya was the true conqueror and we only see Aegon as such because sexism.

i love just making shit up wholesale, like actually bro the fact you see trans women say “don’t be fascists about kink” and immediately assume she’s talking about any of this “loli” bullshit is so fucking telling, literally just “well she’s a trans woman talking about sex so certainly she’s evil!” but nobody cares ofc ofc why would we ever think critically or with nuance about anything when we can just hate on random trannies for no coherent reason and act like it’s moral and just, that’s so much easier
