#i want the trans don bluth movie with michael sheen now 🥲

[lilbit-of-kizzy]

Just woke up from a nap and had the wildest dream:

So it was basically a Don Bluth spin on It's a Wonderful Life (completely different story but same premise) with Michael Sheen voicing the MC (.....yes he looked like Aziraphale but that's not important the only thing silly about that is that my brain supplied me with "oh THAT'S why his 'Newspaper man' act is so familiar!" Lol)

The story was rather interesting, happening during a WW2 type setting. Can't really remember most of it (there were submarines??) just that instead of seeing what would happen if they were never part of the love interest's (I never actually got to see who that was) life as a ghost, they got to be there and meet the love interest that hadn't known them all their lives. And go on some Bluth-y adventure while trying to fix everything that was wrong by them not having been alive in this universe

Anyways at the end they did the whole "I understand I'm important to the universe" thing and it was time for them to wake up, the angel/fairy....thing? that had led them on this adventure said they'd been healing them (head wound) during the whole dream and yes they could wake up now. TURNS OUT the MC was afab and the fairy, knowing very little about humans, Did Not Understand and had kinda....girlified them back up (don't worry they fix it lol)

Cut to me watching the movie (dreams are weird ya know) and the channel I'm watching it on MUTES THE FEMALE VO!? I was so furious cause I knew they were doin it for transphobic reasons, and while I couldn't hear the female voice I knew that the MC talked about their life growing up with the love interest while they still presented as a little girl (and tried explaining the complexities of human gender norms to fairies in the process)

And the freakin channel I was watching on had badly stitched in this random, horribly drawn/animated, kid in the background, and they kept muting anything that talked about the little girl being the MC, hinting that the story was coming from the stitched in male kid instead

Anyways the MC told their story about wanting to be with the love interest but knowing once their (rich) family found out they weren't a girl they'd never let the two of them be together. Idk there was a whole back story I can't remember now ANYWAYS

I was so pissed as I was (unknowingly) waking up that the channel had done that, and when I realized I was waking up my first thought was "man it has been forever since I've seen that! I oughta find and watch........it's not real 🥲"

(and yes the female presenting Oops We Healed You Back Wrong MC was @doria-plume 's Anastasia design lol)
