i was gonna summarize their backstory in the tags but even the summary literally got too long so TRAGIC BACKSTORY UNDER THE CUT

nobody likes Szelseis (manlet on the left). everybody likes Szuna (snake bod on the right). even their mom! this is due to circumstances outside of szelseis's control (ie Snerson Societal Hierarchy)

their mom, for reference, is genuinely a fucking monster. but shes nice to her daughter at least. Szuna feels... Some affection for her, for this reason. She's seen mom's "softer side." Szelseis wants their mother dead.

Szuna tries very hard to relate to her little brother but really does very little to actually improve his circumstances because well. she doesnt want to be treated the way people treat him. and standing up for him might get her tossed to the bottom of the social hierarchy alongside him.

but she wants to be there for him emotionally. and he trusts her more than anyone else for sure. she is the closest thing he has to a friend in this world.

so Szelseis vents to her about wanting revenge on their entire community. Szuna listens to him and offers sympathy but like. She doesn't take him literally when he expresses a desire to "leave town and burn the place to the ground behind them." shes just like haha yeah we should anyway good night

of course he immediately decides that he is old enough to make it on his own in the world ESPECIALLY if his older sister is backing him up, and then attempts to burn the town to the ground. (He's like, maybe 15 at the time.) he does a pretty good job of it, too! he starts of course with their mom's place in an attempt to kill her, but also makes sure the fire is set to spread.

by the time Szuna realizes what's going on, it's too late to stop him. so she confronts him and tries to at LEAST get him to help fight the fires but he's just mad that she lied about agreeing with him on this. has she ALWAYS been on their mom's side??

and she wants to be like "no i just don't condone mass murder like really this is an ENTIRE TOWN theres like KIDS AND STUFF not LITERALLY EVERYONE has been SO mean to you that they deserve to burn to death what the fuck are you DOING" but the fire is spreading and if he's not going to help then she will get to him LATER. bigger priorities right now.

While she's busy firefighting, Szelseis flees town and basically goes "FUCK everybody the world is terrible everyone is out to get me TRUST NO BITCH i am going to have to Treat My Self from here on out." so he becomes a shitty solipsistic little thief, trying to build up enough of a fortune to live in luxury for the rest of his life.

Szuna, meanwhile, manages to save their mom from the fire, and the first thing she asks her daughter to do is hunt down Szelseis and bring him back, dead or alive, she no longer gives a shit.

Szuna of course has mixed feelings about this. But she does what shes told anyway and sets off, figuring she can just.... Decide what to do about Szelseis when she finds him.

Maybe they'll fight, maybe they'll hug, maybe they'll run away from their shitty mom together, maybe they'll straight up kill each other.

WHO KNOWS!!! thats main story territory babey this is just the backstory

you get two versions. bc i like you

sharing your transmasc headcanons about female characters requires, like, 4 weeks of casing someone’s vibe. If everything checks out you can drop the batshit 40 page manifesto on top surgery allegory in the narrative. But you gotta make sure.

[crimsonservbot]

gonna be honest, its incredibly demoralizing for going through transitioning if you can't even be Transgender on the Transgender Website

[77ngiez-archive]

project sekai is crazy because literally every character is queer trans neurodivergent physically disabled or some combination of the above

[musicalsiphonophore]

chat i thought wanting a hug was romantic attraction. and that is the only form of attraction to men i frequently and strongly experience. right.

[jitteryjive]

i need to remake my cup bros ref… both cup and human designs… it’s been almost a year(?) and i’ve developed the headcanons and i would like to share with the class!!! (i wrote thirty tags. Please help me)

[kumakuma-circus]

OKAY OKAY. u wanna hear about tfs being double trans

[VD:  A clip of transformers: Earthspark of Nightshade (they/them), a young terran transformer still in their protoform speaking about identity with Tarantulas (he/him), a spider alt moded transformer, in his mausoleum turned lab]

Full transcribe below

Outside, in a cemetary, Nightshade steps out from behinda statue. Speaking coyly: Oh, perhaps... I could help you work?

Tarantulas: I... might have use for an assistant. If you follow my instructions, implicitly.

NS, sprinting past into the mausoleum excited: I'll prepare the work station!!!

Tanrantus looks down, follows.

NS, excited looking around: This webbing is so verstile, a truly ingenious design.

T: Yes, yes it is Nightshade. [beings working] most fail to properly appreciate my inventions.

Nightshade watches him work: Not even other decepticons?

Tarantulas, bitterly: Especially other decepticons [actives the device, projecting a human hologram] And to think, once this device is complete, I will pass for human. I won't be BOUND by restrictive labels like autobot, or decepticon anymore. [hologram fails to pick up a rock, Tarantulas taps at the device, and the hologram succedds] At last, I will be free.

NS: Isn't that a contradiction though? [Retrives a compotent part] You'll be free, but also hiding?

T: Ah, y-you'll understand. Once you choose an alt form.

NS: But I don't want an alt form. 

Tarantulas addresses Nightshade directly: You are a transformer, another mode is your birth right. [returns to working]

NS: I see no need for one, aren't I sufficient as I am?

T: Young one, alt forms aren't meant to complete you, as though you have a missing part. They further express who you already are.

Nightshade looks complative at Tarantulas: I haven't heard it explained that way before... This is why you've chosen such a unique appearance.

T: Yes, I will always be Tarantulas. And you, Nightshade, however you may appear, who will you be?

NS: I'll be me! A sciencist. A protector, someone who... helps thoses in need [smiles]

Tarantulas, awkward and moved: I- I am glad for it. No one's ever been so generous to me... I [Goes back to working abruptly, changing tone] It is a gift, to know yourself so well, so young. Take pride in it.

A zanny montage of them working together starts, and the clip cuts. END

To follow up on the previous post mentioning that I knew I'd be meeting law soon in op and being excited because I'd know I'd like him. WELL. He's not the character I imprinted on. I mean let's be real I'll probably imprint on him aggressively when I learn more about him but u know who I DID IMPRINT ON? EUSTASS KID. THATS RIGHT. my gender envy snatched that boy so fast do u understand the envy of a person who as a kid was so desperately adhered to Toxic Masculinity and Always Wanted to Be Buff. Boy howdy did I mention I so badly wanted to be perceived as Male and that roughness expected of them. And Eustass Kid fulfills that roughly masculine stereotype to a tee EXCEPT not since he's also leaning into punk subculture and gender defying lipstick and it's not meant in an effeminant way but kinda a Don't Fuck With Me Way which his whole look screams and so suddenly that's TEN TIMES BETTER BECAUSE FUCK GENDER STEREOTYPES. and also did I mention he's clearly supposed to be Celtic/Scottish? and as a person whose also Scottish I'm like oh FUCK YES. And oh no that's EXACTLY the gender vibe I want. And then u don't know anything about him for the next age I guess since they all disappeared

realising you're trans is like realising you've been driving in a clown car all your life and infinite clowns of misery and uncomfortableness and dysphoria have been squished into what looks like a completely normal car and once they start coming out they don't stop

t4t - tism 4 tism

[ashleyetc]

'4d chess gender' just reads to me as 'if youre a trans woman you will have to play rhetorical 4d chess to get me to even consider not calling you bro man and dude' at this point. how is it awful to call ppl 'theyfabs' but literally resurrecting an antiquated slur because of some bizarre fixation on a tumblr clique from fucking years ago is fine as long as the trans women youre throwing it at are like, 'pretentious' (the way certain FOLX on here use the term to mean 'doesnt agree with me and has any meaningful understanding of politics'). but bringing up that trans women are treated like shit gets you met with 'ugh why the discourse we should be sucking and fucking each other not fighting' like some fucking tboy andrew tate fan shit like telling a woman complaining about how you are treating her by saying 'shut up and suck my dick' isnt direct misogyny meant to put us in our place (as sex servants for the real human beings). this site is a fucking trashfire and anyone who tells you there is any kind of cohesive meaningful overarching 'trans community' is selling you something or trying to fuck you

Earthspark Skyward and Thundercracker to Starscream like "we're not ashamed of you because you're trans. We are ashamed of you bc your goatee is ugly af"

I'm still so mad that August Kitko was such a mid book and like I would go do far as to say maybe it was bad but it's likely it just wasn't for me.

And then I read Hell Followed With Us and realize hey now... there's a lot of similarities between these two books and wow i am enjoying this other book way more. I almost want to dig into that and figure out why. Can you ever dislike something so much you want to take a scalpel to it and dissect it to find the bloody heart? Yeah that's what I'm feeling with August Kitko... it kinda sucks but I need to know why it makes me so mad.
