#trans zag

[beyond-mogai-pride-flags]

A[n intersex-inclusive] progress pride flag that explicitly includes disabled, altersex, a-spec, and ethically non-monogamous people.

The altersex symbol and intersex symbol interlock, to showcase unity within the varsex community.

The a-spec compass and ethically non-monogamous heart are both within a single symbol, to showcase the unity of going against amatonormativity.

Whenever I reblogged this post by @dhddmods, the flag and its meanings above got lost, so I'm reposting. -Ap

having trans arthur lester thoughts about whether he'd bind or not n how he'd do it- theres just so much like.. he's claustrophic, would a compressive fabric feel like choking? especially when he panics i mean there's no easy way to quickly get binding material away whether it be a binder or bandages or tight shirts or tape- i imagine he's tried wearing layers of undershirts, fashioned by bella specifically perhaps. but when he needed to get out he couldn't by himself, needed to be cut out by bella. Maybe im projecting but i think he'd feel so trapped by binding.

but then theres the dysphoria! if he isn't binding you can tell he doesn't have a cis man's chest, its hard to hide and all around uncomfortable but what can you do if your only way to alleviate it is to encase your body in a fabric that chokes you. this was before top-surgeries i think so his options really would feel limited to that.

im kind of rambling idk where this is going but arthur lester claustrophobic king who struggles with dysphoria but can't bind in a way that doesn't cause him to panic at every stunted movement or pain.

i really wanna write an arthur/bella fic about this now though..

Oh scruffy black hair boy protagonist with a weird sense of optimism and somber-ness all at once… save me

[ancientpersacom]

The way Dionysus sees Mel for the first time, mistakes her for Zag because of their eyes and just goes “damn Zags a girl now that’s cool” and doesn’t even care or question it is so on brand and such a slay honestly.

Man’s is so used to his cult full of trans people he just doesn’t even bat an eye when someone shows up as a different gender. Legend.

would i regret asking wtf the human domestication guide is

Probably not. And people keep asking this so I might as well give the tl;dr answer:

Human Domestication Guide is a shared setting of kink stories involving Dommy-Mommy plant-aliens who want to keep humans as pets.

It's almost universally dubcon/noncon, the protagonists are nearly always trans girls, it's heavily wish fulfillment. There's drugs (space drugs! Like regular drugs, but better) and hypnosis and a lot of kink even if there's entire stories without any "sex".

It's weird but endlessly fascinating (at least to me!) setting. It zigs in a lot of places that most erotica zags, in part because it's got this heavy wish fulfillment angle where it's just "aliens show up and they give you everything you ever wanted and then you have kinky lesbian sex" but it's also unusual just for having the protagonists being mostly trans women (and I myself am mostly a trans woman).

Anyway if you're interested in learning more, the setting has a nice wiki, and a list of Foundational Works that's a good place to get started reading it. It's a surprisingly active fandom! It's only been around a couple years and it's got nearly a thousand works on Ao3.

Sometime later I'll make a longer post that goes into some more details, or I'll release that 5 hour video essay I keep threatening to make.

One final thing: 95% of all jokes about HDG are on the word "floret". That's what the plant aliens call their pets. It means "little flower" (which is very cute!) , but it's also the word for the little bits of broccoli that you eat. So it's RIPE for shitposting and memes.

trans zag sketch be upon ye while i work on my research paper

[spineless-lobster]

Okay so it is 1:20am and I should be going to bed but instead I’m gonna contribute to the endless conversation about how fucking fantastic the representation in hades is

Like as a queer person of colour I just get this massive wave of joy when I see my favourite characters look like me. Like I often forget how underrepresented people like me are in the media until I actually see it and it changes me fundamentally lol

Orpheus and eurydice have afros LIKE ME! Athena, ares, zeus and patroclus are black LIKE ME! Dusa is asexual and trans LIKE ME! Chaos is nonbinary LIKE ME! There’s also east/south asian representation via hermes and dionysus. And it’s all portrayed so casually, it’s not there to tick off a diversity box. Supergiant actually put thought and care into these designs and stories and that’s just so amazing to see especially within the gaming industry

To quote the creative director of supergiant from this article (which you should DEFINITELY check out)

“As we discussed and researched the Olympians from canon sources, something stood out that in retrospect was obvious: They’re called the Greek gods because they were worshiped in ancient Greece, not because they themselves are ethnically Greek.”

“Zeus rules all the heavens, not just the airspace over Greece, Poseidon rules all the sea and land. They sprang from the Titans, who sprang from primordial Chaos, the source of all creation. So it stands to reason that the gods represent all the people of the world, at least indirectly.”

Not only is it great to see sexuality represented but it’s represented well. Like everyone just knows zag is bi, there’s no coming out story and there’s no threat of discrimination. It’s just like yeah this is zagreus he likes men and women and pissing off his dad. When zag asks dusa about her body and she declines to talk about it he apologizes saying that he didn’t know any better. Everything is treated with so much respect it’s just so great

Again, my heart feels so full when I see portrayals like this. I looked in the mirror the other day and made a joke about how my hair looked like orpheus’ and that honestly made me so happy and giddy it was a little embarrassing lol

Anyways, I think I had more to say but I’m tired and my brain is foggy but I needed to rant about this because otherwise I might’ve exploded lmao

I just love this game so much

I hate to do this, and it's a long shot I know, but things are getting desperate and it seems like I'm going to be waiting WAY longer than I should be for something that's fairly urgent.

I'm a disabled trans man living in the UK. Recently I was found to have severe anemia, and came up with my FIT test (gastrointestinal cancer screening) a few months ago, and was referred for a colonoscopy to find out the cause, since it looks like I'm having a slow but constant bleed through my GI tract. However, my referral has been awaiting review for over three months now. I'm not even on the waiting list, I'm waiting for someone to decide if I need to be on the waiting list. Since then I've started having GI symptoms such as pain, intermittent loss of appetite, etc. as well as my anemia worsening significantly.

This is of course pretty urgent, but it looks like I'll be waiting months longer once I finally get on the waiting list too. I really have no choice but to get it done through a private hospital, because of the time sensitive nature of, you know, potentially having cancer. I managed to put some money away out of the backpay I got from PIP, but it's not enough.

[ID: A screenshot of an email that's says:

Dear Mr (name blocked out in red),

Thank you for your website inquiry. For your information, the cost of an initial consultation with one of our consultant gastroenterologists is £280."

It then lists the names of 3 doctors as links, all blocked out in red. The email continues,

"The guide price for a colonoscopy is £2,339. For further information, including appointment availability, please don't hesitate to contact the medical secretaries (followed by three names redacted in red) directly on (phone number redacted in red) or call the private patient team on (phone number redacted in red). End ID]

Currently I have around £1,400 stashed away from PIP backpay I got after they royally fucked things up (however I may need to dip into this at points if I find myself struggling). Together the consultation plus the colonoscopy will cost £2,619, which leaves me about £1220 behind. I know I'm most likely not going to get that much from this, but I honestly have no choice but to try my luck here. I really don't know what else I can do.

I really don't like asking for money from people for nothing, but I have a Ko-fi store where I sell handmade screen printed patches, and I'll be adding more designs to it over the coming weeks when I have the time and energy to make new screens. I'm also offering commissions for custom band patches! (Due to Kofi's TOS I can't officially offer patches for bands without their permission.). Below are a few examples of my work:

[ID: 5 images of patches printed in white on black fabric, all sewn onto a worn looking black denim jacket. All are sewn on roughly in red floss, aside from the last one. The first says "only dates I want are tour dates". The words "dates" and "tour dates" are larger than the other text. All of the letter As are replaced with spade symbols. The second is the logo of the band Cop/Out, which is the band name with rough, jagged edges. The third is the logo for The Prodigy, which is the band name in sharp. Zig-zagging letters. The fourth is the logo for the band Subhumans, a stylised skull shouting into a microphone. The fourth is the horizontal silhouette of a crutch. With the words "Talk shit" above it and "get hit" below it. Unlike the rest it is sewn on in black, and the edge of an embroidered back patch is visible just above it. End ID]

I know a lot of people aren't doing well financially right now, and that there are people in far, far more dire situations who probably need your help far more than I do, but I would appreciate any purchases of patches or help you can offer so, so much. Even just sharing the post would be enormously appreciated.

Current progress:

£115/£1220

And of course as pet tax, here's Cynder :)

[ID: A photo of a female wild type leopard gecko laying spread out on a smooth rounded rock in a glass fronted tank. Her head is sideways and raised, looking at the camera with one eye. She looks relaxed and curious. Behind her a large piece of thick tree bark and a plastic cave can be seen. End ID]

Random Hades Game Headcanons

Zagreus gives the best hugs. He's tall, naturally really warm, and the right amount of muscle where he's soft but also strong. Plus he's just so comforting to be around <3

Cerberus has a little black spot on his tummy (i say little it's about the size of a hand print) and that's how he got his name (which means spotted)

Thanatos is trans and has top surgery scars under his cloak

Persephone actually used to party with Dionysus when she was younger and lived on Olympus (partially to numb the pain and to rebel against her mother)

Demeter (when she finds out about Zagreus being her Grandson and later Melinoe) spoils them rotten. Pinching cheeks and giving cash and cookies. The embodiment of a shitty mother but an awesome grandmother

Hypnos is actually really close with his sister Nemesis, she affectionately gives him noogies when nobody is looking (has to keep up her badass image)

Zagreus is a lightweight and can barely handle a glass or two of nectar and you'll typically get either that you'll get Flirty/Party animal Zag or Completely zoned out and rambling incoherently Zag. On rare days tho you get Traumadumping and Sobbing Zag.

Hermes has betting polls running at Olympian parties Zag will be at to see which one until Thanatos catches on and glares at Hermes to stop while he carries his boyfriend home

Every time he sees Zagreus and Persephone (and later on Melinoe) happy together, Hades can't help but feel guilty about how terribly he treated (and fucked up) his only son (as he should)

Odysseus gave up Elysium to stay with Penelope in Asphodel

All the rest of these are about the Red Shade who cheers on Zagreus in Elysium (i love them so much)

The "Supportive Shade" (as the wiki called them) is Iphigenia (the girl who was sacrificed to start the Trojan War) and she's just a bisexual teenage girl with issues who loves gladiatorial warfare (totally not because it's a healthy way to let out her issues).

She also comes down to Tartarus once a week to beat the shit outta her father because fuck Agamemnon

She also befriends and starts dating Cassandra bc I said so.

Ends up being adopted by Achilles and Patroclus (which is a little awkward at first since she almost married Achilles) but they bond over their hatred of Agamemnon

He ends up teaching her how to fight and she occasionally tries to spar with Zagreus

Gonna post some cool thing I made regarding Hades 2 later, but rn I actually wanted to blabber about little things and bits and bops I notices and/or liked in that game cause I wanna yap. Also maybe spoilers possibly since I'll be talking about in game dialouge and events?

1. I find it super interesting how Chronos keeps talking about a "Golden Age" and returning to a better time to appeal to the humans. I think it mirrors a lot of talking points for people trying to grab at power, where they'll often promise prosperity on some level, that's also kind of vague and un-obtainable.

Like first, he's Time, I find it funny how even though in one of the dialouges that one can only move foward in time, that he's promising a return to a time that current humans have no clue about because it's been literal eons since the last "golden age."

Also it's always some vague promise. He never actually discusses what he plans to do beyond "vengeance to the gods." He has no promise to mortals after he's done with the gods, obviously.

2. I love how flawed Melinoë is in this game. Like god even tho I loved zag, I'm kinda happy to find her callous towards differing opinions and especially those that oppose the gods (not that being a bit of a jerk to mortals is good, i just like a flawed character). She sucks at socializing, she's pretty uptight, but she's also pretty cool when she wants to be, and I think the few times when she smiles at others is nice too cause like she's kinda like a cat. There's only so many times she'll smile lol.

I also think that the far fewer friends she's made (that aren't just people who keep a bit more distance like Hecate and Odyseus) such as Dora really shine through because again, she's not like zag who's very charismatic and easygoing.

She's also just so socially oblivious sometimes, which I relate so much too. Like I'd say "we're family" too right to Heracles' face if I had no idea what Hera put him through lol.

3. Props to dionysius for accepting zag as trans when he thought that mel was her brother for a split sec. We love a drunk ally who rocks the leopard print 🏳️‍🌈👑

4. I would like to personally thank Supergiant for giving my husband Hermes a pet turtle.

That is all I got it right out of my system thank you 😊

https://youtu.be/Og1XsQPwL1I?si=WHyUxAJ3AT0TaSef here’s that hades update video! i forgot Tumblr doesn’t add links in replies lmao

Dionysus 🤣🤣🤣 lord not the bulge! I appreciate his support for who he thought was trans Zag!

Athena! While I prefer the other art style, she does look pretty intense! I see the braids, okay!! That's a good update! I appreciate the awareness of how to fit her long hair into her helmet- braids or locs 🤷🏾‍♀️ I have to admit the lips make me mildly uncomfortable bc they're somehow bright purple while the rest of her face is... shrouded in darkness. It's giving mild Mr Popo. But that's just me nitpicking. Otherwise, 👍🏾

hi !!!!! can i request a transfem autistic tavros with phantom limb pain and a catgender autistic nepeta with burn scars? (they're <3 btw)

[id: a cartoon of tavros and nepeta laying next to each other in "white space", though the background shows a light pink heart pattern with a big red heart in the center. tavros is a thin transfem troll with lightish skin, laying on her side with faer head tilted to accommodate her horns. she has a mullet and wears a grey denim vest with a sign patch and a trans patch, a black slip dress, and red knee high converse. zig zag lines come out of faer back representing phantom limb pain from wings. nepeta curls up across from her, leaning nya's head on paw's arms. nya has short black hair with a blue and green raccoon tails, a blue cat beanie, footpaws, fingerless gloves and tail, a green trench coat, and dark grey pants. paw has burn scars along the right side of nya's face and paws left hand. they're chatting-- nepeta has a speech bubble with a question mark, and tavros responds with red wings. tavros blushes and nepeta looks at her intently. end id.]

BASED ANON

[ancientpersacom]

Zagreus: is the god of blood and rebirth, blood and rebirth is often associated with females because of periods, cycles and stuff, and yet Zag is a man. Conclusion? Trans Zag, god of blood, rebirth and trans men.
