#though ive only written like one actually serious oneshot for a fandom and it was also tmf

I understand the transmasc Jake headcanon and I think it's very neat but have you ever considered...

Transfem Jake?

Not enough people talk about the idea of transfem Jake, honestly.

(Though, with most characters in the TMF fandom, when people headcanon them as trans they usually headcanon them as transitioning to the canon gender they are in the show originally—Ex. Headcanoning Zander to be FtM/Headcanoning Daisy to be MtF)

It has so much potential !!! Here, I'll give a few ideas:

Ex. 1. Jake trying to figure out whether or not she (I'm just gonna use she/her for talking about transfem jake) has a crush on Daisy, or if she wants to be Daisy and is simply getting extreme gender envy from her. (Spoiler alert: It's probably both.)

Ex. 2. Jake comes out to her friend group and they're all supportive and whatnot and all that good stuff. Henry thinks he finally has a chance with Lia. nope. Lia is still in love with Jake either way. (Pansexual Lia... hell yeah.)

Ex. 3. Lia and Zoey help Jake with her transition. Helping her figure out how to put on makeup, helping her pick out reasonable stylish outfits, taking her out on girl's nights with them, defending her with their lives. I know Zoey despises Jake... buuuuut I'm gonna ignore that for the sake of fluff. Maybe they just develop a frenemy kind of bond. (Ignore canon.)

Ex. 4. Jake comes out to the music club and Hailey is extremely proud of the fact that they gained one more female club member. (Milly is jumping up and down and celebrating this.)

Ex. 5. Jake comes out to her family. Milo still doubts her ability to get girls, whether identifying as a boy or girl. Jake is extremely offended.

Ex. 6. In freshman year of highschool, Daisy is the first person Jake confides in about her gender struggles.

Ex. 7. Jake loses a bet with her friends and puts on a dress. Refusing to admit it, she actually feels extremely confident in it. She secretly buys the dress, keeping it in her closet, hoping for the day she could wear it in public.

Ex. 8. Oh wow, Angst. - The angst potential is STRONG. I know how much this fandom loves angst.

Jake is in an all guy friend group—well, atleast her closest friends are guys. She might feel extremely out of place, like she didn't belong, even with her group of friends. The emotions from her past of being friendless and out of place strike back to her as she realizes she feels nothing like all her other friends, and even her own body makes her feel out of place now. She ends up starting to slowly drift way from Drew, Henry, and Liam, refusing to admit what's wrong.

Ex. 9. (Still angst) - Middle school Jake would often stay up late at night, occasionally accidentally pulling all nighters, looking at herself in the mirror, trying to figure out what was so wrong with her that she felt this way.

Ex. 10.

Jake: *is coming out as transfem and stuff and stuff yknow*

Zander: *rests hand on Jake's shoulder* Don't worry, this doesn't change how I feel about you in the slighest.

Jake: Aw, thanks-

Zander: I still think you are a cocky asshole.

Jake:

These are just some things I made up on the spot. Some might not be that interesting, i know. I have many great transfem jake ideas but they all just fucking left me when i decided to write this. Curse you stupid brain. If my good ideas come back I'll be sure to add more on to it in a reblog.

In all honesty, the most accurate depiction of transfem Jake would probably just be...

Jake thinking—"Heh, I'm such a ladies man," to "Oh shit.. maybe I'M a lady!"

One Night Standards

Would That I

Strawberry Wine

“Growth” alternative ending.

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not? Not really. I have a weird thing that when I see a comment count or number of notes, i like to know its all stuff that ive... idk... earned, I guess? it makes me happy to see if ive made other people happy. but, i read and reread comments ALL THE TIME. 

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? The alt ending of Growth, even if it was only a oneshot. 

7. Do you write crossovers? I did write a few thousand words of a acotar/tog crossover a while ago, but never posted it.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic? tbh, i only rlly got one comment since i started writing for tog. but it was scathing bro. and they commented on a really bad day to me so it lingered. so, if anyone is ever on the verge of commenting something not so nice, consider that the other person might be going thru their own shit and ur not making it any better.

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind? Yes. Often. Idk how to describe it tho... i guess i try to keep it tasteful? idk. if someone else could describe my smut, id love to hear how yall would describe it!!

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Yes, actually. And they posted it on Wattpad on all places. embarrassing for them.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated? i gave permission for growth to be translated into Portuguese and Russian. idk if they ever followed thru on it though.

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nah, but my twin flame @nalgenewhore and i bounce around ideas all the time. luv u bestie. <3

13. What is your all time favorite ship? it changes, but for the last few years its prolly been rowaelin.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? God i hope i finish strawberry wine. I literally have it all planned out.

15. What are your writing strengths? I think i write good dialogue. Ive been told i write good fight scenes and im good at keeping everyone in character. i hope both of those are true!!

16. What are your writing weaknesses? setting. i simply refuse to describe it.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I like it if its well researched, though as a reader, sometimes i find it bothersome if the narrator is supposed to understand what is being said in the other language, but the translations are at the end. i find it puts a fat dent in the flow.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for? LOTR, i think!

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written? My most popular is growth, but i think i had a bit more fun writing ONS since it was a bit less serious!
