which of the undersiders would transition fix?

...okay probably none of them but which of them should most do it anyway

if we're reading taylor as trans i think she just comes off like she's already aware she's trans and being treated suchly (i.e. badly) at the start of the story and like. gets illegal villain estrogen or whatever (regular estrogen but it's being supplied via being a villain and she takes it using bugs because of the way that she is like how she brushes her teeth with bugs) and it still doesnt change literally anything about her arc. like wildbow made her accidentally bi and to a slightly lesser but still significant extent accidentally trans but doing yuri or transitioning would not save her.

brian is ontologically a cishet man

i feel like lisa being epitome cis white blonde meangirl is sort of critical to her character design because it's very much a survival-tool Mask and Role that she wears/plays so it's like. If she were to transition away from that i think it might be a Sign or Symptom of things being less bad for her but it would not be responsible for the fixing per se? like, being able to do it would be a pH indicator of her Environment being better but it would not be the Cause of her getting fixed?

alec is....i think i've posted "regent get estrogen" and/or some sort of sentiment about transitioning being a fix before so there's that. i don't have a strong opinion about his gender and i don't know if he does either but, like, i can see a world where girlregent is a thing and being a girl is an Improvement. so many trans girls on here love being dolls and alec is already a doll so all thats left is for him to become a girl. i genuinely believe direct and conscious engagement w/ her (girlregent)'s body to mold it to be how she wants via transition would be an improvement over boylec's I Do Not See It situation

if aisha is trans we all know it's in the sparklegender pronouns are airhorns sense and that would not fix anything but it would be fun to witness. rachel i just genuinely think is a girl in the sense that if you point at a dog and call it she/her the dog will go ok 👍she's not fussed about all that

rachel's a doggirl and shes butch deviation from this is not permitted so if she's trans then she's already transitioned or is transitioning during the course of the story and it did not fix her. taylor hebert fixed her. which. hm. which is t4t so then it wraps back around to yes transitioning did actually fix her in a way

so. out of the options here the only one that really qualifies is, i think, alec. and while we're at it get cherie on testosterone (will make her worse but i want to see it) tl;dr regent get hoverboard AND estrogen

Victorian Railways Y class

The Victorian Railways Y class was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives, built from 1885 to 1889. the class was an example of the new policy of standard design principles being adopted by the railways of the time. the original locomotive built by Kitson and co in Leeds in England in 1885, also Jeffery’s 0-6-0 goods engine design was named Victoria and was exhibited along the class E426 named Tasmania, at the Melbourne centennial exhibition in 1888. 30 more would be built by the phoenix foundry in Ballarat from 1888 to 1889. they were given numbers from 383 to 441 but only the odd numbers and the Victoria was given 445.

the class were big locomotives for their time, reportly the largest and most powerful 0-6-0s to run in Australia. the class excelled in their performance and acceptance by the crews. they often pulled suburban passenger trains before the electrification in the 1910s, the class spent the rest of their service as yard shunters. the withdrawal of the class started in 1926, 11 would be withdrawn before 1940 and the last 20 that where in service were renumbered that same year. the last in service with number 108 which was withdrawn in 1963, having been a pilot engine at north Melbourne for many years.

Only 3 members of the class made it into preservation, with one still in use:

Y108 is on static display at the newport railway museum.

Y109/Y413 was sold to an unknown industrial user at Nowingi, where it was converted to a diesel-mechanical locomotive in 1956. it became known as 'the thing'. Y109 was acquired by Steamrail Victoria in the 1980 and was used in the restoration of Y112. in 2008, Y109 was reassembled and placed on display at Millewa pioneer park in Meringur.

Y112 was withdrawn in 1961 and was preserved on a plinth outside the Ballarat railway station. Y112 was then purchased by the Ballarat historical society and it is hard to tell if Y112 is owned by sovereign hill, in Ballarat an open-air museum depicting the gold rush in the 1850's or Streamrail Victoria. the locomotive had restoration works started in 1985 to 1996, by Streamrail Victoria for 7 years and the last 6 years by west coast railway. West Coast Railway continued to operate the locomotive until 2005 when Y112 was put into Streamrail Victoria care. Y112 is still in service but has spent most of this year undergoing a major mechanical overhaul which includes a brand new set of wheels.

Maybe you’ve answered this before, but what’s your favorite headcanon for Victoria’s family?

I don't think I have, so thank you!!

I'm mostly still playing around with family headcanons, but I really like Victoria having a father-daughter relationship with Munkustrap. This is mostly from the actors like Caitlin Bond BTS, though, and I find it interesting how it isn't super rare to see. I think it makes sense given their interactions (but you can say that about Munk with most kittens), so maybe I'm just locking in. I don't remember which production it was, but when Munk mentions Queen Victoria in 'Old Deuteronomy,' Victoria raises her paw, and he smiles at her and paws her, and it was one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

I don't see Munk as being her biological father, but just a presence in her life that always acted as one—she could always go to him if she needed something, y'know? Munk-raising kitten Vic sounds cute to me. I think it also makes sense for why he's watching with Deut while the pas de deux is happening and that one moment in the sixth US tour where he likes lifts her towards Plato. very cute. 

If you want a more actually related HC, the idea of Casslonzo as Victoria's parents has been dancing around my head for a bit, and I think it could be a little funny to play around with. I can't explain why just very elegant, aloof rich parents and their little ballerina.

On May 14, 1934, Victor and Victoria debuted in Sweden.

It’s been very warm here today and all I’m picturing is Victoria eating loads of ice cream and using her pregnancy as an excuse to justify it lol

14.12. WB really likes making fun of Coalbelcher for being fat huh.

This feels of a piece with Lisa respecting Victoria more for "using a backhoe" in verbal sparring. When Lisa did that, I was interpreting it as her appreciating that Victoira wasn't being foolishly optimistic, and that she could relax and not work towards a better working relationship (much like Lisa has been positioned against Victoria as profiting off current societal decay rather than fighting for a better future). This seems to be doing something related, tying in the framing of Chris as someone who doesn't want to do the hard work of becoming a better person and is happy when he sees others "sinking to his level."

Yeah, the Ghostbloods are running into similar issues with Roshar's investiture. Maybe y'all can compare notes.

Side note: is she trying to have respect for the man he was before the Simurgh affected him, or does Vicky not know who Mannequin really is?

You'll never see the reasons I had For keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you

get your Victoria theories in while you still can, mine is that she's completely sincere in her intentions and has simply neglected to mention that she used to be the leader of the Red Hand Gang who's going to use the souls of the friends who betrayed her to perform a spot of light necromancy on her family.

image description below the cut

[image I.D.: A three-page comic in black pen on lined notebook paper. The first page has two panels. In the first Victoria McClary stands with her back to the viewer. Simple silhouettes representing Delacy, Nate, Garnet, Silas, and Edie are facing her. Victoira is holding her hands behind her back to hide the bright red ring she is holding. The panel reads "It's a secret I keep tucked inside my chest." The next four panels are wanted posters depicting simplified side profiles of Ben Bellows, Daisy Ducrow, M.T. Budreau, and Aunt Hildy. Beneath them is a fifth wanted poster depicting a young Victoria McClary. The panel reads "with this heart of mine that's guilty, NOT REMORSEFUL."

The second page has three panels, staggered in the shape of a staircase. The drawing style is simplified and lacks facial features. In the first panel, a man is raising a younger Victoria's hand to his lips for a kiss. A cartoon heart hovers between them. In the second panel, the same man holds Victoria while she holds their baby. A heart hovers above them. In the third panel, Victoria kneels in despair in front of two gravestones. A broken heart hovers beside her. Together the panels read "There is love that doesn't have a place to rest."

The second page has two panels. In the first, Edie Valentine and Victoria stand in profile. Edie is holding one of Victoria's hand in both of hers, while Victoria keeps one hand hidden behind her back. In tiny script, Edie says, "You may say you're not strong, but to have gone through this!" The panel reads "but it would have buried you" In the second panel, a younger Victoria stands in the same position, but Edie is gone and Victoria is now holding a bright red ring in her raised hand. She is surrounded by fire. One bright red eye stares without expression. The panel reads "if it had settled on your shoulders." end I.D.]

Another mysterious donation comes in double what Victoira Gonzap just sent.

Apparently you started a "war"

"Oh my god." <Isaac sees the two million pokedollars come in.> "Thanks anonymous for the two million." "Where is this money coming from?" <Evelyn said in disbelief from the past ten minutes.>

“Sometimes dead is better.”    (  @victoira​  )

                  There    is    an    aura    around   this    woman    that    Valerie    cannot    explain    (    the   same    energy    a    witch    would    feel    around    a   freshly    deceased    corpse    );    the    redhead    is    not   dead,    but    she    is    not    alive,    either    –   something    almost    macabre    clings    to    the    atmosphere   around    them    as    she    speaks.    Something    heavy    and  dense    and    decidedly    bitter    –    once    upon    a   time,    people    would    believe    men    and    women    with   her    hair    color    to    be    inherently    soulless.   Now,    as    Valerie    hears    her    speak,    she    can    only   tell    that,    while    this    woman    might    possess   none,    she    still    carries    far    too    many    burdening   feelings.

                    “    do    you    wish    you    were   dead?    ”    words    blurt    out    past    her    tongue   before    she    can    stop    them    (    voice    is    a   soft    murmur,    inquire    sounds    barely    audible    ).   there    are    a    million    questions    about    vampires   Valerie    wishes    to    ask    to    this    woman    (   mortal    enemies    of    the    werewolves,    an    ancient   battle    between    two    forsaken    children    ).    and   even    though    the    woman    named    Victoria    should,    by  all    means,    repel    her,    she    only    finds    the   stench    of    death    and    blood    and    dirt    around    her   to    be    different    –    not    repulsive.   Perhaps,    she    surmises,    it’s    simply    that    her   senses    aren’t    as    developed    yet    –    the   curse    remains    dormant    in    her.

                   “    I    mean    …    I    guess   anything    would    be    better    than    being    half   something,    right?        ”    half    alive,    half    dead,   half    werewolf,    half    witch.    You    walk    a   decidedly    loose    tightrope,    “    i’m    sorry    that   you    feel    that    way,    by    the    way    …    i’m   sorry    you    ended    up    like    this.    ”
