#he misses that

[llamagoddessofficial]

Regarding the wickedly cool Mafia Bad Sanses (which I LOVE!), I am wondering if you have any possible HCs for Dream, too?

Dream is a delightful, good-natured man, a dazzlingly handsome and fashionable member of NN. Ebott (New New Ebott) high society who appeared to come out of nowhere. He's a generous philanthropist who donates his time and money to just causes - he never seems to run out of smiles, he never fails to light up a room with his presence. Everyone loves Dream.

... At least... that's what the public sees.

Exactly like his brother, Dream is deeply troubled, and struggles with a constant sense of emptiness. His status means he finds it impossible to meaningfully connect with others; his whole life, he's been 'perfect', and that's all. People never approach him like he's real. He has friends, but he doesn't feel like they see past his shiny exterior.

It isn't helped by the fact that he worries that if he isn't perfect, people won't like him anymore. Perfection is all he's ever been. The mask stays up.

He doesn't do all these good things because he's a good person. He does them because he's angry that Nightmare got to ditch everything for a life of crime while he's stuck here acting like the adult.

He'd love to lash out like Nightmare does.

Dream always covers his body. Long sleeves and gloves, always. People think it's because he's got a thing about germs, and he plays into that. Really? He only wants to touch people close to him, but he knows those around him expect him to be friendly and physically available.

At least he gets to match his gloves to his outfit.

Extremely, overwhelmingly charming. This man could take over the world if he wanted to.

He fills his life with opposing and undermining Nightmare's criminal empire. Maybe, once Nightmare is finally defeated, Dream will be 'content'.

At first, he doesn't think twice about rumours of Nightmare kidnapping some random human. It's not the first or last time Nightmare has made people vanish. What does make Dream pause, however, is the way Nightmare's activity all but halts. His henchmen too.

Perhaps he should rescue you.

I think he secretly liked public transportation mostly bc missing grogu and also i think he has picked up love of people watching. The helmet makes it very easy to people watch too haha. And like maybe he always liked people watching (and was helpful in his profession) but lately his people watching has been watching parents of all walks with their children. How do they calm down their fussy child. Does that way work. How do they play. What clothes do they dress them in for certain weather. He’s taking it all in

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

thinking about how stan was able to play off finding journal 2 so easily in front of so many people

but when he soon finds out 3 was under his roof for over a month he needs a moment to regain his composure

he's been looking for the books for over 30 years and they both just fall into his lap in less than a few days

In Deadpool & Wolverine, one of the Deadpool Corps members is dressed up as Hugh Jackman’s character from The Greatest Showman. This implies that there is an alternate universe where Wade has to sing The Other Side with Logan, to convince him to join the X-Men. In this essay I will-

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.
