Time for part 2 but Dragons Rising edition

quick disclaimers:

This is just for fun and I’m not trying to say any one ninja is more traumatized then the rest.

I only put what I remember and you’re welcome to add stuff I forgot 👍

And let’s get into it!

Lloyd

Got separated from his family for a concerning amount of time

probably separation anxiety times 20

Nearly loses his kids students a lot

He misses his uncle poor guy

Her self worth issues get worse but Nya helps

ultimately she realizes her parents aren’t her true family anymore and she doesn’t need to prove anything to them, unlocking her true potential

And I will cry

Arin

Lost his parents in the merge

he blames himself for their disappearance

Gets a hammer yeeted at him by Ras at some point and Sora had to watch him get hurt

is terrified of losing people he loves. Riyu, Lloyd, Wyldfyre, Sora…

This little guy can hold some much self hatred in him *pats head*

GIVE HIM HIS PARENTS BACK

HE DESERVES IT

i swear if they end up being bad guys I’ll cry

Gets shatterspined by Cinder

Constantly fails which puts a strain on the guy’s mental health

Gets beaten within an inch of his life by Ras

[butchbarbieagainstterfs]

i find it weird how terfs say that trans people getting upset about being constantly misgendered and deadnamed = they need constant validation and to keeping proving themselves that they're trans. i've seen time and time again terfs argue and say how trans people are only correcting other people when misgendered because we are reassuring ourselves that we're trans and if we stopped, our identity would somehow... fall apart? which is so wild because that makes NO sense. just because a transphobe misgenders me doesn't make me any less trans - in fact it actually makes me MORE trans because i react with disgust to migendering or deadnaming. but even apart from that, i think they don't understand that it's just really FUCKING annoying lol. if you've ever been an immigrant and had a name that people would mispronounce and butcher all the time no matter how much you asked them to call you by your PROPER name, you know how fucking draining it is. it doesn't make you have another name or make you less cis when people are rude or ignorant and don't want to put in the effort to say your name right, so why would misgendering suddenly make me any less trans? but i guess most terfs are entitled white women from the us or the uk and have never had any problems of being taken seriously or respected because they live in the country they were born in and all have bland names like stephanie and karen 💀

I’m cis and I get annoyed when people constantly mess up my name dndjjdhd. I’d get called the wrong name all the time at school and it would piss me off. I’d also correct someone if I was going to see them more than once and they kept getting my pronouns wrong, because he/him aren’t my pronouns. Does that mean I’m just ‘convincing’ myself I’m cis? Surely it does, right?

These are the same TERFs that lose their shit if you don’t assume their pronouns and use they/them for them 😭

[miakwat]

I’m sorry I’m bringing this up on literally every platform I own, but I got yelled at earlier by a customer for telling them I didn’t have time to physically show them where the car air fresheners were. I was able to verbally tell them where it was, but everybody was behind on our tasks, and we needed to get everything done before closing ended. So I didn’t. Have. Time.

And yet this entitled jackass cut me off when I tried to explain and give him directions and went “no. You work here, you have to serve me. It’s your job. You can’t just say ‘no’”. And like??? Bitch??? Are you my boss???

Anyways I didn’t want to fight over it, so I brought him over to where they were, and I was about to apologize for saying no because I felt a little bad about saying no, and then he cut me off again.

“What’s your name?”

They were threatening to report me over that 💀

I gave them my name, they double checked to see that it started with an M, and they walked off, thinking they won.

But little do they know that the name I gave them isn’t what’s registered in my work’s system. I just gave my chosen name on instinct because I never use my deadname.

And as far as I know, they didn’t verbally report me to my manager because she didn’t pull me to the side after closing. This means they’d have to type out the report. And there are multiple ways to spell my name, so even if he remembers it they have to play a game of Russian roulette to see if they can get it right.

I win.

Anyways this couple walked up to me after and were super nice and told me to just ignore them.

TL;DR Be nice to store employees or else they’ll rant about you on tumblr

[rivangel]

btw i’m so mixed on whether or not she would accept me (she does not know i am a transman)

years ago i came out as nonbinary and she was like❓😐 just not understanding regardless of how much i explained it. would NOT use my pronouns but she’d use my name cuz it was just a nickname of my deadname

she’d be weirded out that i wouldn’t shave my legs or wear makeup and bind but she wouldn’t enforce it.

and whenever she figured out / i told her i was dating a girl she was kinda grossed out and would just call her my friend

but overall it was a thing where “if you’re happy i’m okay with it” which i’m lucky for considering her track record for making my life a living hell

and these days she’ll call me by my preferred name most of the time (which is a masculine(?) name) but doesn’t use ‘they/them’ pronouns. she doesn’t ask if i’m dating anyone or about kids (im asexual but she doesn’t know that) so that’s something

but overall im left having no idea whether she’d accept my identity now. it’s not like she’d disown me but i have a feeling she’d be super upset.

(as for my stepdad he’s like ambivalent to everything in general and me. i don’t have any attachment to him really. it’s sort of like being in your midteens when a cousin you’ve never met appears one day and starts living with you while being the breadwinner. it’s weird)

as for my grandparents i even need to cover up my tattoos around them💀and they don’t know anything about anything and quite frankly if they got the news i picture them being grossed out. maybe not my grandmother. but i don’t see them often enough for that to matter. again the weird emotionally distant cousin thing

even my brother and sister. i think i’ve tried to talk to my brother about being nb and it went like “uh that’s weird but alright”, but doesn’t use name or pronouns.

i just have no idea what my sister is up to so she’s rly not worth mentioning💀

my mom said i sound like my brother on the phone today GKNWFNWNENTN
