I wanna know if you have any thoughts on Valka and Sroicks parenting and how that affects hiccup? Because I'm loving so much of your content rn, especially your drawings!! But when I see stuff like Tgirl Hiccup while I think they would be supportive, I don't think they would be ... the best because their not really the best. Like ofc they tried even Val when she came back, but it doesn't and won't ever make up for everything else it's so complicated, and nuisanced would love to hear your thoughts!!

Im going to break this post into addressing stoick and valka separately because valka is such a non-entity in hiccup and stoick’s familial life. valka’s section will be underneath the ‘read more’

But I definitely agree! Unfortunately for Hiccup (and also not to project ijbol), it’s so hard because stoick’s best isn’t enough. Oh, stoick tries! He tries so hard — between the movies and the shows, he so clearly cares for his son. But he can never be just Hiccup’s dad; Stoick is the Chief of Berk before he’s Hiccup’s father, and both he and Hiccup know that. Hiccup grows up self sufficient and is used to a lonely home. The kind of free reign that he gets (and the resulting knee-jerk reaction he has to any kind of responsibility after 15 years of said free reign) doesn’t make for great conditions to cultivate a healthy, loving, traditional parental relationship

Still — i think stoick is more supportive than we give him credit for, at least going off the RoB/DoB characterizations. (Again, I haven’t finished watching RTTE, so Im not gonna speak for anything there.) When Hiccup makes moves for more freedom and responsibility, even as early as s01e01 “How to Start a Dragon Academy”, Stoick works with Hiccup to grant him that freedom. He makes attempts to connect to his son, albeit misguided and inevitably circling back to his own interests/role as the chief of Berk and not just Hiccup’s dad. For example, s01e07 “How to Pick your Dragon” shows Stoick ending up listening to Hiccup about getting a dragon, even though he mostly gets a dragon because it further suits his interests as a chief, which he realizes on the flight Toothless and Hiccup take him on. Which also leads to the core conflict of the episode! Because Stoick’s attempts to understand Hiccup are ultimately rooted in his own narrow perception of the world, that there is a Right way and Wrong way to do things, and Hiccup’s way is most definitely not the right way.

But Stoick listens. Over time, he picks up the signs when his child is frustrated and genuinely asks how he can help (s02e15 “A Tale of Two Dragons” 3 options talk). And after the events of the first movie, Stoick makes more attempts to involve Hiccup in his going-ons, such as the portrait of the chief’s family or contacting Johann to find a beloved childhood plushie. So i think stoick tries, and his best isn’t enough, so thank god hiccup isn’t dependent on only stoick and the both of them know this. And just because the both of them know this doesn’t mean that stoick doesn’t try to improve their relationship at all. In the end, he’s just really set in his own ways and his own traditions.

So in a world where Hiccup is trans, I do think Stoick is supportive no matter what direction Hiccup ends up going. Is he confused? Yes, always, because there isn’t a very established tradition even if Berk does have a history of trans folk. I think stoick has to try really really hard, and he messes up a lot in the beginning. Like, you know when your parents are trans affirming in a really weird and even insulting way? That happens a lot for Hiccup and Stoick. But they work together and Stoick works to try and get on Hiccup’s level, whether that means sending terror-mail to Johann to inquire about trans literature or gender-affirming clothes or dialing Gothi to move Hiccup’s t/e prescription to the front of the line.

……..argh, Valka.

Of course Valka tried when she came back, but the conscious decision to stay away for twenty years and miss some of the most important milestones in your child’s life says a lot, and I think Hiccup also knows that. Especially because of how similar they are, even though Valka would immediately accept and adore and absolutely love Hiccup and all his Hiccup-ness right off the bat… I think he’s aware of how different and better his life could’ve been with Valka’s understanding presence. In the end, one parent stayed and tried their best. And one didn’t really try at all, not until they reconnected again.

And like! I dont think Valka and Hiccup would ever be as close as Stoick and Hiccup were. Like it is one thing to idolize your parent in absentia and build up this idealistic wholesome perfect image of who they are, getting your characterization from their partner who never got over them even after 20 years. And it is another thing to meet that parent and realize… wow! They also don’t measure up to what I needed them to be as a child.

And so for all of Valka’s understanding, for all of the easiness it is for Valka to understand Hiccup, especially in a world where Hiccup is trans — it’s not Valka who had to deal with the bureaucracy of Hiccup’s gender change, nor aided in the social transition for people Hiccup has spent his entire life with. It’s not Valka who asked uncertain, blunt and somewhat invasive questions about Hiccup’s new identity, or found weird and strange ways to support it. It’s not Valka who would’ve gotten an entirely new wardrobe commissioned or talked to Gothi about medical transition.

Like, I think Valka tries, and it’s easy for her to understand the idea and support Hiccup. But i dont think she’d ever be Hiccup’s first choice when it comes to questions about who s/he is, not when there are people who stayed and tried much harder than her, and know far more about Hiccup than she ever did and maybe will.

Favorite LGBTQ movie and TV quotes

“Um, I do drink red wine, but I also drink white wine. And I’ve been known to sample the occasional rosé. And a couple summers back, I tried a Merlot that used to be a Chardonnay, which got a bit complicated… I like the wine and not the label. Does that make sense?”

— David Rose, Schitt’s Creek, Season 1, Episode 10

“That felt so good to say. I feel like I just solved an escape room I’ve been trapped in my entire life.”

— Fabiola Torres, Never Have I Ever, Season 1, Episode 5

“Look, I’ll be hurt either way. Isn’t it better to be who I am?”

— Eric Effiong, Sex Education, Season 1, Episode 7

“Everybody’s story is different. There’s your version, and my version, and everything in between. But the one thing that all of those stories have in common is that moment right before you say those words when your heart is racing, and you don’t know what’s coming next. That moment’s really terrifying. And then once you say those words, you can’t unsay them. A chapter has ended, and a new one’s begun, and you have to be ready for that.”

— John, Happiest Season

“The good thing about being different is that no one expects you to be like them”

— Ellie Chu, The Half Of It

"When I'm with Brittany, I finally understand what people are talking about when they talk about love. I've tried so hard to push this feeling away, and keep it locked inside, but every day just feels like a war. I walk around so mad at the world, but I'm really just fighting with myself. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm just too tired. I have to just be me."

— Santana Lopez, Glee, Season 3, Episode 7

“Now, there is a long and honorable tradition in the gay community, and it has stood us in good stead for a very long time. When somebody calls you a name…you take it and own it.”

— Mark Ashton, Pride

“So I'm bisexual. So what? It's LGBTQ for a reason. There's a B in there and it doesn't mean Badass. Okay, it does, but it also means Bi.”

— Callie Torres, Grey's Anatomy, Episode 1105

“We’re standing here in Philadelphia, the, uh, City of Brotherly Love, the birthplace of freedom where the, uh, founding fathers authored the Declaration of Independence, and I don’t recall that glorious document saying anything about all straight men are created equal. I believe it says all men are created equal.”

— Joe Miller, Philadelphia

"Yes, I wear foundation. Yes, I live with a man. Yes, I'm a middle- aged fag. But I know who I am, Val. It took me twenty years to get here, and I'm not gonna let some idiot senator destroy that. F*** the senator, I don't give a damn what he thinks."

— Armand Goldman, The Birdcage

"Being gay is your thing. There are parts of it you have to go through alone. I hate that. As soon as you came out, you said, "Mom, I'm still me." I need you to hear this: You are still you, Simon. You are still the same son who I love to tease and who your father depends on for just about everything. And you're the same brother who always complements his sister on her food, even when it sucks. You get to exhale now, Simon. You get to be more you than you have been in... in a very long time. You deserve everything you want."

— Emily Spier, Love, Simon

"The greatest gift we can give each other is our authentic selves and sharing that. Sharing our truth is what will make us strong. So here I am. I am both human and alien. And I am a trans woman."

— Kara Danvers, Supergirl, Season 4, Episode 19

"But I feel more when I look at a picture of Kristen Stewart than I do when I kiss him."

— Elena Alvarez, One Day at a Time,

"You can’t change it. You can’t fix me. Because I’m not broken, I don’t need to be fixed, OK? I’m me!"

— Ian Gallagher, Shameless, Season 5, Episode 12

—Kat Edison, The Bold Type

been seeing a lot of danger days headcannons on my dash so i thought i'd share mine :3 Party Poison: Enby, they/them Aroace Is not allowed to put music on in the car Is not allowed to drive the car Can only read very simple things, and they absolutely fucking love Dr. Seuss. They found a whole bunch of old Dr. Seuss books, read all of them (with Fun Ghoul's assistance) and was heartbroken when they had to burn the books for heat. Always kicks their feet when they sit in a chair Constantly stealing Kobra's sunglasses Their boots don't fit them, but they refuse to wear any other shoes Kobra Kid: Trans FTM, he/him Bi Snores loudly He's the one that banned Party from playing music in the car Generally pretty quiet, but gets very loud and excited when someone brings up cars (it's his hyperfixation. that's right, autism blast) Will do the macarena to any music that is put on, and perfectly on beat Would give his life to save his sibling, but also beats them up frequently for stealing his sunglasses Jet Star: Male, he/they/it Pan Definitely has a huge crush on Kobra, who is completely oblivious He's the only one who knows how to drive Goes to bed at 7 PM The Girl (and all the other Killjoys) call them mom Can't read Not actually a very good mother figure. The Killjoys call him mom because it drives them everywhere. Kobra Kid once bit them because they punched Party Fun Ghoul: No gender, only rage. Any pronouns Gay Surprisingly, he's the only one who can read more than just basic words Both the most chaotic and the most responsible Loves to bother Dr. Death-Defying. Once played Christmas music (it was the middle of June) on Dr. D's station Has a TERRIBLE memory Dr. Death-Defying: Trans FTM, he/they Queer Former wavehead, recovered with Cherri Cola's help Pretends to hate Ghoul's dumb pranks, but he actually thinks they're pretty funny Once told Ghoul that if they lick a battery it'll give them superpowers He was in a band before the Analog Wars They're really afraid to be vulnerable in front of others, unless it's Cola or Show Pony, who've seen pretty much every side of him Definitely autistic, but doesn't believe anyone who tells him that Cherri Cola (every single one of these is just me projecting onto this poor, poor man.) Genderfluid, has silly little bracelets to indicate their pronouns on any given day Gay as FUCK Their favorite colors are bright pink and army green Do not let them near Val Velocity. They will kill that motherfucker dead. They're terrified of growing up, but they hate being treated like a teenager Once had a sore throat and thought they were going to die

Hiiii I've been really dwelling on ur reasons that Law is transfem bc of her feminine horror personality aspects and I wanted to know if u had any media recs u think r similar to her. I love ur videos and writing so much thank uuuuuu!!!!!!!<3333

ooo good question! (and thank you for watching my vids <3)

where law is a little tougher than strade in terms of character, i have actually made a little chart of characters that i often use for inspo when i write her ^_^

top left is val from outlast 2; a horror game i don't really like but LOVE HER. she was once a deacon for a church, turned leader of a violent sex cult trying to birth the anti-christ <3 she gets turned on by death, writes about 'getting wet' to killing children, rapes the MC, i looooove her and i lean into her more...uninhibited traits when writing the more deranged parts of law's psyche.

top right is ethel cain, more broadly her album, preacher's daughter. she's a trans woman who creates maybe the best music of all time? that examines themes like love, death, violence, religion, etc. she kind of embodies that vulnerability-capable-of-violence, liminal sort of character that i like so much about law, so she's a big inspo too :) her song family tree is on my law playlist for obvious reasons:

bottom left is norman bates from psycho, THE sensitive soft boy to transfem killer pipeline of all time. norman runs a motel and looks after his overattentive mother but um. gets a little flustered when faced with a regular-degular woman and (spoiler) goes into a disassociative state and dresses in drag to kill her in the shower. as much cultural baggage as this movie has, i love it, and norman is soooo law coded, does taxidermy, soft spoken, veryyyyyy hot and sexy

and bottom right is harold smith from twin peaks, a series that i'd really recommend in this space of liminal, harmless and weird to dangerous and scary that law embodies. harold is a shy recluse who studies plants (where have i heard that before) who was a confidant for the Dead Girl, laura palmer. you don't see much of him but he displays some pretty erratic behaviour, going from soft-spoken and sweet to firm and near-violent in an instant. very law coded.

there aren't many movies that examine transfemininity in a way that's. uh. not disgusting? but as i recommended, i saw the tv glow does some really interesting things by examining the liminal nature (and the horror of liminality) of transition. i also recommend reading gothic lit (specifically rebecca and the yellow wallpaper for law) because i think those specific renditions of gothic femininity are pretty universal, whether you're trans or cis

Tell me about the Mattress

HI OKAY SO. in this au nicky quit soccer like right after they got back from the realms for the first time (lark holds a grudge even when they're almost 18 despite the fact that everyone else also quit) and he takes up hockey and ice skating. it's important to know that nicky is a system in this (nick likes hockey and nicholas likes ice skating). mattie works at the ice skating rink and is friends w nicky bc tiefling buddies yk (half demon = tiefling kinda) . they hide their nonhuman features behind illusion magic ofc

mattie ended up being midwestern fully by accident because I was writing them and not consciously making the choice to make them Not Midwestern like I was with sparrow and nicky so it just . happened [my parents are from the midwest and I am not but most of my habits and speech patterns are from there]

when they were choosing a new name to go by (hashtag trans) they decided to go by mattie and let people assume it's short for matthew or something so that they can tell people it's actually short for mattress (same reason why my val is from valley [lily of the valley] and not valentine. funnee)

also they have adhd (unmedicated) because I do too and I like projecting onto my own characters <3

#... Okay, I feel like you're laying it on a little thick, even for someone as stupid as me-

(Boom!)

#OKAY WHAT THE HELL

[ mr. t, don't you know? it's pride month. ]

Each gay has a special ability that becomes amplified during the 30-day period!

#OH OF FUCKING COURSE

(Homestuck megalovania slowly amplifies, before suddenly stopping)

[<3] Wait... What's happening to m- [Ɛ>]

[<3] O_O Oh, no... [Ɛ>]

(}After pride month, all gays must return to mother Earth_)

[<3] AAAAAAAA A A A A A A A A

[ i knew you'd get pwned, my love, but i didn't knew you'd get pwned so hard. ]

[ WAIT, SIS, WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING TO US- ]

I think it's the whole being trans thing for me. Also being bi and ace, to add onto it.

[ ... yeah, that makes sense. i'm bi too. ]

Oh, you are? Nice.

[ heh, yeah. anyways... ]

[ AA A A A A

Well, shit, that means I'm next. A A A A A

#Wait, does this mean I'm finally free? HELL YEAH! SRC, GET IN HERE!

#... oh right.

LMAO SO?? ITS CANON THAT VAL IS PART OF A SYSTEM??? That breaks a fourth wall or two-

Shifting Vertebrae

Chapter 6: A Short Conversation at the Bar

Angel Dust hated that Velvette was at the hotel.

He hated knowing that someone so close to his boss was there. He hated knowing that, even if she wasn’t spying, the Vees as a whole were getting more information on him with every interaction. He hated that Val’s treatment had only marginally improved. He hated that she could make some policy changes and look like a hero while letting her business partners continue to abuse their workers.

He couldn’t even hate her that much. She was always infuriatingly nice. Sometimes, Velvette would even get him out of work. She was a half decent conversationalist and one of the most normal sinners at the hotel, personality-wise.

So, no. He didn’t hate Velvette the person, but he did hate that Velvette the overlord was living in the same building as him after all he’d done to escape living with the Vees. He could tolerate her when necessary. He wasn’t being unreasonable in his dislike and mild avoidance of her. And in his opinion, he was more than justified in being annoyed when she sat next to him at the hotel bar.

“So,” she’d began, her voice infuriatingly disinterested despite her being the one to start the conversation. It felt a bit like Angel Dust was one of her videos that was interesting enough for her to give him a chance, but not interesting enough to dedicate herself to the conversation. “Angel Dust, right?”

“Yep,” he gritted out. She asked that as if her whole fucking empire wasn’t partially built off of him, as if she didn’t keep getting the stupid content he was forced to make on SinTok trending to push Val’s latest porno. As if she wasn’t aware that she was encouraging that dumb fucking moth to keep making him do more dangerous shit- who was even watching horse stuff? And why the fuck was he involved?

She could give her workers health insurance and lunch breaks, but she couldn’t find the compassion or the courage to speak up about what her business partners were doing?  

“Hey,” she began, absentmindedly drumming her dark ruby-colored nails on the table. “How’s it going?”

“Terribly.” He’d normally say fine and keep the oversharing for Husk, but he was more than a little annoyed right now. “Val nearly broke my fucking arm yesterday. So same as always.”

Velvette’s gaze held an appropriate amount of mild sympathy.

“I’m sure you knew that, though.” Angel took another drink, the burn of vodka in his through a distraction from this conversation.

She fucking glitched at that. One second, she’d been sitting there, right hand holding a gin and tonic, left holding her phone, legs crossed. The next moment, the right hand held the phone, the drink had been set down, her left hand was in her pocket, and her legs had shifted towards the bar. What was strangest was that her expression had changed, yet still read as relatively indifferent to the conversation itself. He’d seen something similar to this before, almost like she’d teleported, but up close and with her staying in the same spot, it was a bit creepy.

“We tend to keep our areas of work separate,” Velvette had replied, as if the words he’d said were no different from a statistics report from Vox. It was like any corporate email- words chosen carefully enough to mean nothing at all.

“Why?” he asked, sounding more tired than anything else.

She blinked. “Why keep our work separate?”

“Why work with them at all?” He waved his hand at her, gesturing as he spoke. “You’re an overlord yourself. Why have this ‘good ceo’ schtick and then let them… let them do what they do? And keep working with them? Why do any of it?”

Another glitch. “We’re overlords together. I need them, and they need me. That’s the point of a trio.”

“Oh, please, can you cut the bullshit?” he asked. “All these other overlords made it on their own. I mean, Val and Vox… they did fine before you, and they’d do fine without you too. You’re just the icing on the cake for those two. You own your own souls, you could just leave.”

“And then  what?” She asked, an amused half-grin on her face, like Angel’s proposal was something humorous. “I leave and end up replaced? Who does that help?”

“If you were as replaceable as you seem to think you are, they would’ve found someone who isn’t.”

Velvette laughed a bitter laugh, like she was the one who’d been around here for decades and Angel was the one who died in 2014. “I thought that too, once. But it’s not true. It’s all fucking random.” It almost seemed like she was talking to herself- her gaze seemed to go beyond Angel. “Sure, I came here with more power than the average sinner. Sure, I can make a half decent SinTok video. But I’ve seen more talented or powerful or intelligent people than me sell me their souls for reasons I’ll never understand.” She shook her head. “If I left, I’d just be the weakest, least experienced overlord in all of Hell, and the sinner with the biggest target on her.” Something about it read as practiced, as if she’d thought these questions through countless times before.

“And? What’s the point of all this power if you’ve abandoned all your morals to keep it?”

She glitched yet again. Wow, he was striking quite a few nerves. “What about you? If things are that bad, why haven’t you broken your contract?”

“It’s against my contract to view it without his permission. He’s never given a sinner permission before.”

She looked… confused, mostly. He hadn’t expected that. “That’s legal?”

Angel laughed darkly. “I don’t know. It’s against my contract to read the laws on it. Can’t even ask someone to read it for me. Can’t break the contract if I don’t know how, right?”

After her next glitch, her phone was out- interesting. He glanced over- she’d texted some long-ass paragraph to someone in her phone named ‘partner in crime.’

“What the fuck?” He jumped back, his drink spilling over the side from the quick movement. “You’re texting Val about me? I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you for a fucking second.”

“That’s not Val,” was all she said.

“Sure it’s not,” he said with a disbelieving laugh. “Partner in crime? Seriously? Who is it then, Vox?”

“Ew, no. Look, they have different names.” She pressed a couple of buttons and pulled up her contacts. “This is Val. This is Vox.” He had to admit, both of those contacts had pictures attached. Neither of those contacts were ‘partner in crime! 🍒.’ She really hadn’t been texting the other Vees- maybe it was her girlfriend? He hadn’t known the overlord was dating someone, but since they were all about appearances, maybe they were keeping it on the down low. After all, he couldn’t think of another reason someone would have a tits emoji in Velvette’s phone.

Wait. Could he get annoyed by VoxTech corporate pride if they were all queer? Technically, they’re still greedy corporate CEOs trying to squeeze every cent out of sinners. Technically, it’s also supporting queer business. He tried to avoid buying unnecessary VoxTech products overall, so he decided it didn’t matter.

“Fine.”

Of course Angel wasn’t thrilled that Velvette was staying at the same hotel that he was. Actually, he was quite mad about it, and he really did wish she wasn’t there. He still was very much uncomfortable that she just let Val get away with everything, and he found her reasons for sticking with him rather flimsy. And could you blame him? Even if she hadn’t known it all, she knew enough. Her discomfort at the topic wasn’t the surprise of someone who hadn’t been expecting to hear something like this. He struggled to dislike her as a person, but she was an influencer first and foremost. He understood that this meant that every aspect of her personality was supposed to be likeable. That was reason enough to be wary.

He’d love to be wrong about her, but he’d love a lot of things. He’d love for his contract to break. He’d love it if Cherri spent more time with him without things getting destroyed. He’d love to never see Valentino again. None of those things would happen. He wasn’t going to count on this any more than the rest of them.

blake scratches his growing facial hair constantlyyyy almost too much the texture is just funny hehe. but he doesnt like growing out a beard either, so post-game shaving himself with both hands injured is a Process..

OHHHHH I’ve never considered trans Blake!! :0000 that’s so good!!! And Like I don’t trust red barrels at ALL w making transgender characters (they literally made Val a transmisogynistic stereotype 😐) so I’m giving the rights to u. Ur the new outlast writer Sarah 😎

!! 💋🎀🌺⭐ for val velocity?

hi!!

💋 How affectionate are they with their friends? Their family? Their romantic partner(s) (if they have any)? Are they more physical or emotional when it comes to displaying their affection? Why?

I feel like people would assume that he's not very affectionate but he's very physically affectionate and he buys things for his crew all the time like nail polish for Vaya or new (not chipped) bowls/plates/etc for Volume when he has some extra money

🎀 Do they wear a specific accessory with a special meaning behind it? What is their usual fashion sense like? What do they wear when they want to be comfortable and what do they wear when they’re going to a fancy party? Or do they just not care?

his mask and jacket was very important to him for years, he was very careful to keep his jacket clean for a long time but post comics he gets rid of both of those and mostly just wears casual very normal/nondescript clothes and he steals borrows Vinyl's clothes all the time

🌺 Does your OC have any tattoos or other body art? Does their body art have any specific meaning behind it? Do they have any scars? How did they get those scars? Any birthmarks?

he doesn't have any tattoos. he has a scar on his shoulder from getting shot and top surgery scars

⭐ What is your OC afraid of? Any crippling phobias or some such? How do they act when scared and what helps them calm down? Does anyone ever find your OC scary? Why?

he's afraid of losing his family and even though he would never admit it one of his worst fears before the war ended was to be caught by bli. usually if he's feeling threatened he'll get more aggressive but depending on what it is sometimes he just freezes. I don't think anyone really finds him scary

jules gets a ref because for some reason i cannot get percy and val right in the updated lineup

[transmasc-wizard]

10. how many wips do you actually have right now?

since, you know, death and taxes and i'm fairly sure another wip are now in the making

this is calling me out

anyway! I have gfw1 and gfw2, plus gfs in general (which is 5 books but im really only working on the first 2 right now. 3/4/5 can count as... like... 1 wip, because they're a blob together atm.)

there's val saintly, and it's hypothetical sequel (we'll count that as... like... half a wip, because it's barely thought up yet. it's just bones)

there's death and taxes, like you said. I have NT21, which is still a wip despite not being worked on in awhile. I have "man up", which i don't talk about on here but is a contemporary trans comedy.

There's golden heists!! I talked about that one forever ago; I was going to draft it this january, actually, but i couldn't finish the outline in time. (I'm hoping to outline it this year.)

There's FYM and LC, which i've never once mentioned to anyone, which each only count as half a wip because they've been ignored for months and may actually get abandoned (most likely LC, which will then be scavenged for pieces for secret wip).

There is, also, the secret WIP, which i shall say nothing about but: time travel <3

soooo 10.5, which i think is a perfectly acceptable and normal and regular number of WIPs.

3, 5, 8, 10, 14 :) have a good day/night/ whenever this reaches you :)

3. I made this an option because I thought there might be some appeal to just being generally evil fictionally but then I remembered the culty aspect of Mevolent's side and the religious elements and yeah nah. I'm an atheist, I couldn't manage that, so I suppose I'll go with the moral side of this fight.

5. This one's a long question so I'll include it before I answer - "Was Ravel mad with power or did he have sincere political beliefs? Would he have actually given himself up to the authorities like he claimed in lsodm/dotl (I can't remember off the top of my head, but it has to be one of those books)?"

I genuinely read it as Ravel believing in his cause. I doubt he would have ended giving himself up at the end, after he'd achieved everything he wanted - but I think when he said that he did believe what he was saying. His motivations are fascinating and bizarre. I think he was so obsessed with the rightness of his ideology that everything else came second - the whole idea of "the greater good". So yeah, I took it pretty much at face value, but even that is such an interesting concept imo.

8. I've answered this several times on earlier asks! :)

10. Okay okay so, looking back at Scapegrace's arc - I have to say I quite liked it. And looking back through a queer lens, I'm very spun out by the idea that he was basically a reverse trans man? Kind of? I have a lot of sympathy for him trying to work out how stuff like periods work, since he hasn't got anyone to help with that. And ik his arc is mostly played for laughs but I feel quite sorry for him, he's so pathetic just generally. I do feel quite sorry for Thrasher, but I suppose the two of them are getting something from their warped relationship? Hopefully? Idk dude, there's a lot going on there.

14. Never my Beloved. I have to say I really liked him, he was maybe the first gender fluid person I read in fiction and I like how she hates Val and I like how they're seriously competent at a lot of things and I like his general self-confidence. Absolute legend, rude king. (I haven't read most recent books so if this changes pls leave me in blissful ignorance).

Thanks for the ask! I'm having a lovely day as of writing this, and I hope you are too! Do you have any questions you have strong answers for from the list?

[art-of-e]

happy pride month! it took me a couple weeks to figure out what i wanted to draw for it, but it’s finally done! there are two versions of it, one with just me and one with a bunch of my queer ocs (of which there are many, but i wanted to show my queer relationships specifically)

(as always, click for better image quality) descriptions of all of the characters/relationships shown (as well as myself) are below the cut!

i spent 9 and a half hours on this, so if it isn’t too much to ask, please reblog this if you like it!! it helps people see my work more than liking it does!

top right corner: the man with the blue shirt is val (he/him, bi) and his partner is kelly (he/him, gay). fun fact: these two were the first same-sex couple i ever made! i had little knowledge of how mlm experiences differ from my own at the time, and i’m still doing my best to write them with as much respect as possible, but hopefully they’re good representation (and in case anyone is wondering, val is black and kelly is latino!) :)

top right corner: the man with the blue shirt is val (he/him, bi) and his partner is kelly (he/him, gay). fun fact: these two were the first same-sex couple i ever made! i had little knowledge of how mlm experiences differ from my own at the time, and i’m still doing my best to write them with as much respect as possible, but hopefully they’re good representation (and in case anyone is wondering, val is black and kelly is latino!) :)

bottom left corner: the girl with the grey hair is grace (she/her, bi), and her partner is penny (she/her, lesbian). these two are the main characters of the story i’m currently working on, and they’re the youngest of the queer characters included in this picture (these two are 15 while the rest of them are in their early 20s). i haven’t had them as characters for as long as all of these other characters (except for maybe speckles, who i’ll talk about in a bit), but writing them (and especially their relationship) has been so much fun, i love them dearly

bottom right corner: the person in the blue binder is speckles (she/they, non-binary, bi), the person with pink hair is roxie (she/they, genderflux, pan), and the woman between the two of them is clover (she/her, bi). these three are the first polycule i’ve ever written, and it stemmed from a love triangle where speckles and clover both had feelings for roxie, and eventually i just decided “hey they should all be together” and now they are, good for them!!

also! i felt like i should say this! any character of mine who is not specified to be cis or trans can be interpreted as either, and trans headcanons are very welcome, i’d even say encouraged :) so yeah there’s that

and finally, center: since this is me, i thought i might as well introduce myself if you don’t already know who i am (or even if you do). so hello! my name is crow (and i also go by e)! i’m bi and genderfluid, and i use they/them pronouns. i’m not gonna get super deep into my personal history right now, but i’ll give some important details. i’ve known i was attracted to more than one gender for about four years now, but figuring out i was genderfluid happened a lot more recently. in fact, this is the first pride i’ve ever gotten to spend knowing my name and identity, and it feels surreal in the best way possible. i’ve known since around this time (summer) last year that i was genderfluid, but i didn’t figure out what i wanted my name to be until november of last year, and knowing it and hearing people call me it is one of the most amazing feelings i’ve ever experienced. i want to thank anyone reading this who has been a part of this journey (you know who you are, hi, i love you very much), as well as anyone who has read this far, that means a lot to me. thank you and happy pride to anyone reading this <3.

👀🪞👖 for the ask game? :3

👀 What is the first physical feature people notice when they see your OC? Why?

I'd say probably his nose? He got a long, crooked nose, with a scar on the bridge that goes on his right cheek, and a scar on his tip that cut it in two.. it's sitting right in the middle of his face so UHEFH

That or his big brown eyes with white rings in the center, with all the smudged black powder around it that makes them POP

🪞 How does your OC perceive themself? Do they believe themself to be attractive, unattractive, or average? Does their view of themself affect their self-esteem, or are they unbothered by their physical appearance? (If your OC does have things they’re confident or insecure about, what are they?)

UH Val doesn't think about his appearance much anymore, tho.. during his early teen years (12~16 ?) he was--

ok so I was thinking about it the other day, but in 2077 I don't think being trans gender is "A Big Thing" like it's just a thing that happens so people are chill, I guess they have all kind of cool shit in the city to transition quick and "fully" (if wanted) but since Val is a nomad, I headcanon that they still use "old methods" ? as in taking drugs (in that case, T) and it's a more "slow" process than it could be in the cities, but still much more advance than our days. OR LIKE, THATS WHAT I HEADCANON ANYWAY HFHFHF

So yeah for Val it was during that time that he transitioned, so he was kinda feeling MEEHH about his body (Not because of other people, cause like I said I think people don't give a shit in that setting / in that year, it's more of gender dysphoria really) but he's much better now, he can catch himself in the mirror and think "hey there cutie" that kind of guy UHFEHU

👖 What type of clothing does your OC generally wear? Why? Do they have any “signature” accessories?

OUUGHH He likes to wear crop top / to have his belly out, I don't think there is a reason? He just vibin

He wears his little goggles on his head most of the time, and I actually thought about that! So, since he got those kiroshi optics during his Wraith time, at a Scav ripper, they're kinda wonky and there isn't any uhh function to turn off the glow of the ring? So in the night boy is GLOWING and is easily spotted if he tries to be sneaky ; So his goggles actually have a filter on it that hides the ring perfectly without messing with his vision! So during gig during night time / in dark place / when he needs to be SNEAKY he put them on and be a sneaky boi- it became an habit to just have them on him, on his forehead or around his neck at all time~

And in general he prefer practical gears over style, baby is a nomad born and raised after all 🦝
