Read about DWARVES! IN! SPAAAAAAAAACE! (And help a trans guy finish transitioning!)

Mining's a rough job-- you have to leave the safety of the Shiphall's air bubble, and travel through the floating rocks in the Void. Tor's trained as a cook- he's more comfortable with a pan than a pickaxe. But all dwarves can mine, if push comes to shove, and Tor's been pushed into the job. The real problem is Kholan, Tor's assigned partner. In the Void, one misstep can send you spinning into nothingness forever. You need someone to watch your back. Kholan thinks Tor's incompetent, for nonsensical reasons. Kholan doesn't trust Tor. And because Kholan's a flaming loon, the feeling's mutual. Can Tor make it back to the Shiphall in one piece? And can he do it without strangling Kholan?

So I have a new short story for sale! I'm trying to cover my misc gender confirmation surgery expenses- stuff like "ice packs" and "copious amounts of tylenol"-- and so I'm trying to get at least 50 pre-orders to help cover that stuff.

I'm excited about this one, because it's in a different universe than any of the stuff I've written about-- and it's one I want to write middle grade fiction in one of these days.

Oh I do love me a trans science nerd.

Cheery Littlebottom is actually the best fictional character ever, demonstrated below:

Got fired from being an alchemist for exploding the guild council

Consequently eyebrowless when we first encounter her

Not only transgender, but arguably the inventor of transgenderism among dwarves

Immediately becomes girl best friends with Angua

Overcomes her prejudices against werewolves, is defended in turn from dwarvish [trans]misogyny by Angua. Girls supporting girls. I love them.

Have I mentioned transgender

Singlehandedly creates & maintains a forensics department

Has to be the person to tell Vimes that spoons can't be made of arsenic

In the face of transphobic vitriol is still able to show kindness and compassion to Dee when she needs it

Is, once again, transgender

what are these adult babies yapping about???

[clippedionianvowels]

Kryten lovers, I bring you more content:

Also, I’m just generally thrilled that Robert Llewellyn’s made a point to reiterate that Kryten is gender neutral ✨

[a-literal-toaster-wtf]

i love that the lister transman hc is such a widely popular and accepted hc because its not often in fandom that a character that isnt a skinny white conventially attractive twink is widely accepted as a trans dude

[harrowedknight]

Mass effect andromeda but make it dnd.

Peebee is a tiefling artificer, Drack is a dwarf barbarian, and Jaal is a firbolg ranger. If you’ve got hcs for the rest of the crew i’d love to see them in the replies/tags. And ik some of you are probably like “why didn’t you make drack a dragonborn!” the answer is I thought that’d be too easy ☝️

ARE THOSE TOP SURGERY SCARS ON NATHAN??? LETS GOOOO!!!

buddies of mine in the server were talking about how characters are almost 1000% improved entirely by making them trans. thought about how funny ultra hilarious nathan's origin becomes when you think about cyclops sending his tiny baby little daughter out into the future and when his daughter comes back from the future he is a 6'8 behemoth of a man with a massive fucking gun

Bro💀... they are underestimated lmao

He sat up on the bunk. “Rimmer,” he said. “You know I’m trans too, right?” That stopped Rimmer in his tracks. “What? No, you’re not.” “Yeah, I am?” said Lister. “You aren’t,” said Rimmer. “Am so.” “Are not.” “Rimmer, I’m literally wearing,” he did a quick tally up of the contents of his jacket, “three trans pride patches right now, mate.” Rimmer ducked his head, inspecting them. Then he shook his head. “Oh, don’t be ridiculous,” he said. “You honestly inspect me to believe this?” “Well, yeah,” said Lister. “I thought you already knew.” He’d sort of taken it as a rare point in Rimmer’s favour that he hadn’t been a dick about it. “This is absurd.” Rimmer flapped a hand at him. “I’ve known you, what, four years? Almost five? And now suddenly you tell me you want to be a woman? Come off it.” “You –” Lister once again had to fumble to make sense of the conversation. “Oh, God,” he groaned. “Rimmer, no, you’ve got this backwards. I’m trans the other way, Rimmer.” “You’re what now?” said Rimmer.

hes trans the other way Rimmer

[greyangelpain]

Why did nobody even tell me about red dwarf before.

ITS IS AMAZING

I love Rimmer so much even though he's a right git lol.

Lister is a loveable slob and is sush a perfect rep for the last human.

Cat owns every outfit. He's so girl.

Kryten is a pure mother hen and honestly hilarious. especially when jealous.

And Holly is so bored, they're literally me.

What's the david he/theyster video?

we are the champions at 3x speed is my favourite punchline

video description: a clip of red dwarf. kryten, rimmer and cat are sat in the cockpit, and kryten says 'oh, it looks like a little man in a spacesuit!'. rimmer responds 'that's not a man, that's lister.' the clip cuts to an image of lister with nonbinary flags added around them, a caption reading 'nonbinary legend, david he/theyster', and a sped up version of 'we are the champions' by Queen plays in the background. end VD

Because I waver even on my own perspective:

[fickes]

Meet Flint, inspired by our great need (for more bearded dwarf women in high fantasy media)

[psychidelias]

On my fourth-ish rewatch of red dwarf and watching DNA, the thought process of when Lister got transmogrified into a chicken went like this:

-oh he's a chicken that's fun (fourth watch mind you)

-solid looking chicken

-alright he's back now

CAT: What was it like being a hamster?

LISTER: It was better than being a chicken! I mean, you've seen the size of an egg? And you've seen the size of a chicken's bum? Well, that's what all the clucking was about! I was trying to say, in chicken talk, "For God's sake, give me a epidural!"

-but only female chickens lay eggs, right?

One might say "it's just a throwaway line", I say transmasculine Lister is canon
