#sorry. this is so long

ive 100% asked this before but how do u think arg!usnship got together or starting getting closer atleast 🙂‍↕️

ooooo this is really interesting and So Much More Complicated (😭😭) given the newer context guqqie provided that it’s its Own universe, not strictly “c!sunshipduo if they stayed together” as we previously thought.

with this in mind, it’s hard to really theorize about. but i’ll try because of course i will.

i’d guess that it would go similarly to c!sunshipduo, in most ways. friends to lovers, with similar enough motivations - town’s knight/protector/adventurer/wanderer, alien wanting to go home - but with variations (bit of a copout, i know. but stay with me). i’d guess that it’s A Lot like c!sunshipduo but also au!sunshipduo (see: hera’s obsession with that Particular universe).

it’s hard to headcanon/theorize bc so much of the info is unknown (pun unintended) 😭😭 but maybe it’s just like. they’re in this new place together. arg!aimsey is suspicious, at first, but very quickly lets red (alien) flags slide because faun is enamored. arg!guq isn’t quite as jaded yet, but that darkness is lurking - perhaps she had a worse time at home, carries more trauma with her. but she’s still as ‘naïve’ as au & c!guqqie, and she befriends arg!aimsey and falls just as hard and forgets about whatever previous goals or motives she may have had because she is loved and maybe this can be home. maybe nothing else ever mattered. she’s disillusioned by her home planet and her family and their belief and teachings - they were wrong, and they also abandoned her. and arg!aimsey didn’t. arg!aimsey isn’t as bad as they said humans would be. (and arg!guqqie isn’t as bad as arg!aims was told aliens would be. but she isn’t an alien. definitely not. right?)

so they become friends, and they realize it’s More than that, and they are both so happy to be loved and so desperate to forge some other sense of home and belonging that they ignore all of the red flags and they get together and they try to be happy and, as happy couples do, they get married. because they are each other’s home. right?

1000 Books You May Have Actually Read

[endusviolence]

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.

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.
