#transit camps

[imstillalexcomic]

When I started my transition and began to come out to a few more folks than the tiny few that knew about me, there was something I kept saying as a part of my spiel…

“This is what I am, not who I am.”

I think I believed it fully at the time.

But then the interaction in the comic above occurred this past summer and completely changed my mind.  Sure, being trans is something that I just am, but it’s also something that can be part of who I am as well. 

Seeing that kid completely light up the way they did sparked in me a desire that I really didn’t think I’d ever have.  Suddenly, that kid made me want to be visible.

Like the comic says, I wasn’t ready to be publicly out so I felt safer lying about myself at the time, but I truly hope that the next time I’m up there they have the opportunity to see me…

…a transgender person who’s included and having fun, just like we all should be.

I lied, put your clothes back on we're gonna talk about how Brooklynn went from wanting constant attention and having a web channel revealing herself to millions of people in jwcc to being almost completely isolated having little to no attention and being embarrassed when her best friends even look at her and hiding her arm

thinking more about the civil war between the camps because of jasico vs solangelo.

percy and annabeth & most old time CHB camper: team will. they love will, their lives has been saved by will countless times. they think he's awesome, they know about will's crush. they think that nico and will are really cute together, and that will would be great for nico. they're nervous about jason's crush, because they're pretty sure any combination of children of big three together will end up in a huge natural disaster if a bad breakup happens.

leo and piper & Fifth Cohort: enthusiastic team jason, they barely even know will. they all think that jason is the Hottest Shit, Most Handsome Dude, How Can You Not Love Him? piper feels guilt for dumping jason out of nowhere, and leo promises that if nico doesn't return those feelings he'll make a robot that looks exactly like nico who does (jason: leo no/ piper: leo yes). the other legionnaires are STUNNED that praetor grace is having boy troubles.

thalia: team jason, but not very enthusiastic about it because she thinks romance is overrated.

nico has no idea what's going on around him. he's honestly having the time of his life making friends with kayla and austin as well as the rest of the apollo cabin.

will is sure something is going on, but he's not sure what it is. he doesn't know quite what he feels about nico, they're friends and nico is really cool, but he doesn't really know how to proceed from there.

jason knows every single detail of what's going on betwee the camps. the missives. the missiles. the countless drachmas wasted shit talking back and forth between new york and california. the fistfights in the aphrodite cabin, piper almost losing her head counselor position because she's backing him and it's her and leo against the world here in camp halfblood. leo let slip his quip about robot nico and now his cabin is in revolt against him as well because uh fuck yeah they want to make a robot nico, except they won't have robot nico do gross stuff like feelings and dates. they'd make robot nico shoot flames and guns and arrows. it is entirely MORTIFYING for jason. jason wishes that a brick can hit him and make him lose his memories for a second time.

magical brick doesnt happen. what does happen is that he and nico play capture the flag together and get cornered trying to evade the enemy, so he gets to pick nico up like old times and fly them out of harm's way. and nico laughs and sticks out his tongue at the angry sherman on the ground below. and for a moment he's able to see the ridiculousness of the situation for what it is, which is hormone fueled teen drama, and decides that it's the most alive he's felt for ages.

thinking about trans Julian again specifically thinking about the idea of Julian being trans but electing to not undergo any gender-affirming surgeries

like I was thinking about this the other day in the context of his line about him and Kira being the only other options for a womb when he had to transplant the baby from Keiko, because the implication that Julian has a womb also implies he's elected out of having a hysterectomy for gender-affirming purposes. I say that because we know gender-affirming surgeries- at least the more cosmetic ones- are very easy to undergo (see Profit and Lace, where they very quickly and easily turn Quark into a woman (yes I know it wasn't gender-affirming for him but its the easiest episode to use for my point)) so I feel like it wouldnt be a reach to say that a hysterectomy would be a fairly easy procedure to ask for and undergo

which as ive been thinking about it more I think this like. perfectly tracks with Julian as a character, that he would opt out of undergoing gender-affirming procedures. because I think, considering what his parents did to him and how strongly he resents it, that he would steer clear of anything he would view as "changing" himself. honestly so far in the future I think its safe to assume views of transitioning are very different, and I'd like to think that there wouldnt be nearly as much social pressure to physically transition at all, but even if there was I think Julian would be very resistant to the idea that he would "have" to change anything about himself. Julian is very unapologetically himself in every regard, so im pretty confident in saying that that would translate over to his gender identity and asserting that he is a man, and he doesnt need to change anything about himself or his body to be one

it also occurred to me like yesterday that in my kali/sil fic I’ve been writing I think I like, focused so hard on figuring out characterization and relationship dynamic accuracy and also just fighting for my life with the plot that I believe I neglected to like. Mention silvers sleepy boy situation like,,, at all. Maybe once offhandedly??? Like I didn’t forget it’s a part of him but I think somehow I just forgot to work it into the fic at all when it’s generally a pretty big part of his character 😭😭😭 like maybe it’s bc we’ve been in book 7 and it hasn’t come up in the dream zone (I forget if he mentioned if he’s just not sleepy boy in the dream realms, probably lol) so maybe that’s why I forgot??? But even then I literally went to some of the vignettes to study how he talks with kalim and the sleepies does come up in those examples….. I feel like it’s just something I was like “yeah yeah that’s a given I need to figure out the rest of him rn tho cuz he’s more than just a sleepy guy” so hard that it slipped my mind completely….. I went too hard in the other direction….
