“I don’t know if I’m a reject

I don’t know if I’m a loser

But I know that I’ve been feeling

Feminine since I was teething”

#south park #south park fanart #eric cartman #genderfluid headcanon #genderfluid #genderfluid eric cartman #pansexual #South Park headcanons #headcanon #lgbt headcanon #I feel that out of all the characters #Specifically genderqueer/trans ones (including Stan and Butters)#That Cartman would actually be the trans/nonbinary one out of all of them #And I’m talking like actually canon #He’s the queerest character out of the whole cast #He’s just sooooo suppressed and in the closet #also he might be intersex too #procreate #bright colors

What if: Gris n Ingo, but more sapphic✨✨

Had a thought of what a fem! Ingo could look like and my hand slipped while sketching!

Gris is still non-binary but just a lil more androgynous and less mullet mohawk hair stuff going on, and Ingo’s sideburns would just turn into longer locks of triangle hair but also pretty wild studio ghibli hair.

the thing about the queer media tournament that really gets me is that last i checked there wasn't a single mxtx work on it. like not even the untamed made it in and don't get me wrong the og mo dao zu shi books are huge but cql is def more popular among tumblr circles. idk it just really rubs me the wrong way how every single piece of western media that ppl have ever gotten a lil bit aggressive abt shipping with is there and then for east asian media there's utena and madoka magica and the handmaiden and last i checked that was pretty much it. and then for the rest of the world there's next to/nothing but idk enough to really make judgements there.

#like. really? no mo dao zu shi? no scum villain's self saving system? no heaven's official blessing? no nana?#i can think of at least 10-20 pieces of media more deserving of being in there than some of the western works that got in off the top of my #head. yuri is my job (self explanatory). fate/stay night (most of the cast is bi but esp rin bc she says it out loud + saber trans coded).#fate/extra (red saber canon bi + nameless archer. stay night lancer. kirei and issei are all there). black butler (grelle trans. also #eric and alan from one of the musicals + alois from s2 of the accursed anime + nina and possibly mey rin are all gay)#toilet bound hanako kun (kou and mitsuba went canon). the evillious chronicles (michaela. clarith and bruno are gay. bohemo possibly trans.#gallerian possibly gay). requiem of the rose king (self explanatory). project sekai (mizuki trans. minori and rui possibly gay).#cocoon entwined (literally a yuri). fucking honkai impact 3rd (lesbians but i don't play it so idk who). any uc gundam series w char and #amuro but especially char's counterattack (char and amuro explicitly confirmed to be gay 4 each other by author + movie focuses on their #relationship). also mobile suit zeta gundam (char and amuro together + kamille is a boy's name!). turn a gundam (gay character).#iron blooded orphans (gay character). the witch from mercury (about a lesbian relationship). melty blood (ries and sion lesbians).#guilty gear (bridget (self explatory)). sailor moon (mainly uranus and neptune lesbians but also apparently there are a lot of gay #characters i didn't know abt in sailor moon). the illustrated guide to monster girls (yuri moment). dramatical murder (yaoige). slow damage #(yaoige). sweet pool (yaoige). ouran high school host club (haruhi gender stuff and also her dad's whole deal). cowboy bebop (ed gender #stuff). fullmetal alchemist (envy nonbinary). neon genesis evangelion (kaworu and shinji). like half the villainess isekai out there.#haruhi suzumiya series (the girl herself is openly bisexual). omniscient reader's viewpoint (danmei). fucking re:zero has a trans girl in i #for god's sake. we're well past 20 so i'm allowing myself more fate. fate/extra ccc (red saber again but also gil and caster and bb and-).#fate/hollow ataraxia (follows same cast as f/sn). today's menu for the emiya family (follows same cast as f/sn again. also the switch game #metatextually canonizes shirou's crush on lancer if the interesting descriptions from f/sn and the various bits from f/ha didn't convince #you). fate/apocrypha (rider of black + saber of red transfemme nonbinary and trans guy respectively. the former is also bi). fate/samurai #remnant (f/sr saber nonbinary. also gil is there and rogue archer is def implied to be bi in f/go). fate/zero (waver gay rider bi. saber gi #and kirei are all there and at their most bisexual). the case files/adventures of lord el melloi ii (waver spinoff (self explanatory)).#fate/strange fake (gil and waver are there. also false lancer nonbinary and jester trans). fate/grand order (has p much every character fro #the franchise and more. notably added trans anime girl leonardo da vinci). ok no more fate. since the tournament has a p liberal definition #of media i'm including vocasongs. magnet by minato ft miku and luka (lesbian song abt lesbians). erase or zero by hzedge ft len and kaito #(magnet for boys). himitsu ~kuro no chikai~ by hitoshizuku and yama ft len rin and miku (angel rin falls in love w miku. disguises herself #as a human man to be with her). i think i've made my point clear but add my initial list of the big famous ones (-nana) from the 1st tag.#romeo.txt

the way gintama handles gender is clumsy and doesnt age particularly well at parts even if there seems to be a genuine attempt at critiquing gender roles it still kind of falls flat and its representation of trans people falls into stereotypes but i would like to congratulate yagyu kyubei on being the only anime character ever to be both a man in a trans way and a woman in a trans way

#due to transphobic writing kyubei's gender is just a general clusterfucked mystery and if that were intentional they would be legendary #unfortunately its just outdated stereotypes #gintamas handling of trans people in general tends to be utilizing stereotypes and then being like #'so what if theyre a freak. it doesnt matter theyre still human theyre still a complex individual and we should respect them'#which is like. not great. but also not terrible like. ok he's got the spirit #its better than what other shounen anime at the time were doing which is kind of a low bar #i do also think that kyubei is one of the very few anime characters ever to actually canonically be a nonbinary lesbian so there's that

If you don't like rwby you don't have to watch it but you shouldn't pretend it's out of any "I only like GOOD writing" reason and not just personal distaste.

#rwby #also very weird to go into the rwby tags to talk ab how much you hate the show #ive said it before. ill say it again.#rwby as a show gets a lot of hate because the four leads are women.#and i noticed its getting even more hate now that we have yk. canon trans and nonbinary characters.#knowing that a LOT of the cast is openly queer.

i like the owl house a good bit but i wish they'd take raine out of nonbinary gay baby jail

#please you have like one nonbinary character of significance #theyve spent a massive amount of their screentime either under mind control or pretending to be under mind control #and i want to get to know them better bc they seem very cool #i am tantalus and raine is the fruit i cannot reach and the water that dodges me when i wanna take a little sippy #im not mad at the showrunners or anything and i appreciate raine's presence #theyre clever and charming and A LOVE INTEREST (which i dont think ive ever seen???)#(between raine and masha the stance seems to be that nb people are desirable and cool and theyre so right for it)#and i think toh avoids the inhuman enby trope (in that there is human rep...ish... and most of the characters are inhuman)#idk they get a pass from me at least #but much like spop's double trouble theyre not really allowed to be themself for an unusually large amount of their screentime #though at least dt had like. constant 'teehee im so evil' one liners punctuating their girlmoding era #yeah dt falls into a lotta iffy nb tropes. i also don't blame the spop staff for that #i dont love making my point via comparison but these are literally the only two animated nb characters i can think of #bawling punching the earth about lake infinity train not being canonically nb but also being the most significant genderqueer rep for me #other than like. goromi. theyre tied <3 #anyway my point with this post is not 'i think toh staff shouldve just tried harder or i hate them or whatever'#but more 'i am sad that our rep is still so limited even as they are pioneering and i wish raine had more screentime bc i like them'#and also 'if i had a nickel' about the limited agency/performative elements of the 2 nb characters ever #and also having your only trans characters playing the long con has like. implications a bit #but yeah #also im p sure spop had twitter confirmations of other characters being genderqueer but i dont tend to count postcanon much bc like.#it's not in there lol #anyway shows i think of as generally v progressive but that still don't escape nb tropes and limitations #you know what's better than one they/them'd character? two they/them'd characters #one day we're gonna get characters with multiple sets of pronouns and i can die happy #dt doesnt count for this bc the characters who know theyre not flutterina use they/them even when they're in flutterina mode.#twas a bit and nothing more #anyway belos is yucky disgusting and i hope raine gets exorcised soon

i’m already seeing cunts on bridget’s fandom wiki page begging nobody to edit her pronouns to she/her on the page bc it’s a “mistranslation” & “the symbol on her headband now is ANDROGYNOUS NOT TRANSGENDER OR GIRL”... seethe

#perth.txt #i hope they change it & i hope u get banned cunts #but also considering how fandom wiki mods tend to be. hm #p sure such a big 'mistranslation' wouldn't have slipped past #& also there's already a canon nonbinary character so? what's so unlikely about trans bridget.#ppl getting pissed bc 'proving she's a guy is a big part of her story'... you're not the writer are u? how can u claim u know better? stfu

Things to learn the difference between when it comes to trans headcanons/interpretations:

“they’re muscular”/“I perceive them as feminine/masculine” vs “I relate to them as a trans person”

“the character crossdresses/does drag” vs “the character uses different sets of pronouns to refer to themselves”

“the character does(n’t) like dresses” vs “the character states they don’t identify as a woman/man or with she/her or he/him pronouns”

if you can’t tell the difference please don’t tell trans people which fictional characters it is “harmful” to see as trans

#some of these things basically make in canon #also if you are wondering this is about people talking about seeing a literal canonically gender queer character as trans being #‘sapphic erasure’#nonbinary lesbians exist sweetie you’re just a terf #transgender #trans #lgbt #lgbtq+#lgbtqia #2slgbtq #lgbtqiia+#trans headcanon #transgender headcanon #lgbt headcanons #queer headcanons #fandom spaces

Y'know what I'm putting Wx on the top shelf some of y'all are getting way too close to straight up transphobia with your obsession with human Wx

#rat rambles #this isnt aimed at anything in particular just a general trend Ive noticed recently #like it just feels incredibly disrespectful how so many ppl treat them especially given their canon nonbinary status #like at the bare minimum dont deadname them man even if they werent trans thatd still be shitty #its just so violently uncomfortable watching ppl making jokes abt oh what if they suddenly became human again or stuff like that #or having other characters find out abt their past human self through like pictures and shit #it just. feels so so uncomfortable conbined with the fact that theyre trans yknow?#like idk I just think ppl should be more careful with them. and also more normal lol #like stop trying to make them a twink they are not ur yaoi twink they are nonbinary and made of metal

ORV as textposts 39/???

[Photo ID - 10 images from the Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint manhwa with Tumblr posts pasted upon them.

The first image shows the backs of nine members of the main cast as they look toward the sun in the background. The text post is by Tumblr user daisies-on-a-cup and reads, "THEY DID IT THEY ESCAPED THE NARRATIVE!!! THERE IS A WAY OUT!!! THE STORY CAN BE ALTERED!!! YOU ARE NOT STUCK-THERE IS AN ESCAPE!!!! THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL BUT YOU HAVE TO WALK TOWARDS IT!!!!"

The second image shows Kim Dokja in a suit with his hand on his hip. The text post is by Tumblr user yuridefender and reads, "i do love stories that start out with the protagonist going "hi! ��😀 i am such a normal guy. the most average person ever. 😄 an average joe even. i have no friends or enemies. i spend my time reading books and sing to myself on occasions. nothing to see here! ^^" and it turns out that not only are they a liar but also the most fucked up person ever. and a cunt"

The third image shows Kim Dokja with a shocked face. Yoo Joonghyuk is clutching Kim Dokja's shoulder as he falls. Lee Hyungsung is behind Kim Dokja on the viewer's right, and Yoo Sangah and Shin Yoosung are running toward Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk from the viewer's left. The text post is by Tumblr user littlespoonsokka and reads "oh and btw the love was there and it changed everything. if u even care"

The fourth image shows Kim Dokja. The text post is by Tumblr user tomwambsgirl and reads, "being an unreliable narrator is inherently homoerotic". They reblogged with an addition that reads, "what do you have to hide? your sexuality?"

The fifth image shows Yoo Joonghyuk yelling dramatically. The text post is by Tumblr user fembutchboygirl and reads, "He's a cis man. He's transfem. He's nonbinary. He has 35 genders. He's a cis woman. He's a trans man. Gender, he barely knows her. He's transmasc. He's gnc. He doesn't know what a pronoun is. I didn t say his name but he popped into your head didn't he"

The sixth image shows Yoo Joonghyuk staring at Kim Dokja while he holds him by the throat. Kim Dokja is slightly beaten up and smirking back at him. The text post is by Tumblr user neilgayman69 and reads, "They have never canonically fucked. But also they have, and they should, and it would be a horrible idea."

The seventh image has Yoo Joonghyk hunched over in the foreground with Lee Hyungsung to his left and Shin Yoosung to his right. Kim Dokja is in the background with Yoo Sangah on his right and the viewer's left. He's facing Yoo Joonghyuk and the viewer slightly and is hunched over with a sword in his hand. The text post is by Tumblr user billypotts and reads, "stories about time travel are about two things. number one is inevitable tragedy. number two is seeing that inevitable tragedy and saying oh god I will make this right please even if I can't fix it I will try to make this right. also I lied they're about three things and third is obviously love"

The eighth image is a close-up of Kim Dokja with smile and dull eyes against a black background. The text post is by Tumblr user raylangivins and reads, "I love a character who's like "I know exactly who I am and I'm being very authentic about it" and then when you analyse his behaviour even a little bit you realise his self perception is completely selective and delusional."

The ninth image shows Han Sooyoung, Yoo Joonghyuk, and Kim Dokja. Yoo Joonghyuk is leaned over Han Sooyoung's back while Kim Dokja is slightly off to the viewer's right with a confused expression. The text post is by Tumblr user notsoni and reads, "Not soulmates but it always had to be them and they weren't destined to be together but they were doomed to be but also it took everything for them to get here and also it was never supposed to happen but also it always was and had to happen this way. Hope this helps"

The final image shows the members of Kimcom sitting around a garbage-can fire with drinks. The text post is by Tumblr user gothritsu and reads, "if theres no found family what is the God Damn Fucking Point". /End ID]

I loved Wild Blue Yonder, I thought it was a great episode. But if I see one more person proclaiming that the Doctor saying Isaac Newton was "hot" made the character "finally queer", I'm gonna set fire to sth.

For one thing, since they changed into a woman, the Doctor has, depending on one's definition, been canonically genderfluid/trans/nonbinary/genderqueer. That was made even more explicit last week in Star Beast. So saying that the Doctor as played by a man and using he/him pronouns calling a man "hot" somehow made the character queer is stupid in and of itself.

And secondly, the Doctor has long been regarded as aro and ace-coded by people of those communities and guess what? Aro and ace people really do exist and we are queer. And it would be lovely if other queer people could stop excluding us by saying that characters who provide what little, mostly accidental and incidental representation we get "become queer" by expressing same-sex attraction. It happened with Good Omens and it seems to be happening again with Doctor Who and I am so fucking tired of it

Edit (6th Dec 2023): Several people have pointed out in the notes that there have been quite a few instances of the Doctor ambiguously or indeed unambiguously expressing 'same-sex' attraction and exploring their gender identity/identities in the past, both in the show and in extended media. I just wanted to be absolutely clear on the fact that I was in way trying to diminish the importance of those moments by emphasing the aspect of asexuality and aromanticism in my post. That is not to say that I think anyone was implying that I was doing that, in fact everyone's been lovely (which is why I also wanted to thank everyone for their input, I learnt a lot, especially about the novels!!)

Of course, as an asexual, aromantic and agender/nonbinary person, that is the lens through which I watch the show and relate to the character of the Doctor. This does not make my reading of them any more or less valid than anyone else's. In fact, I absolutely love the fact that the Doctor is a character who speaks to people of so many different queer identities and I am so happy that RTD is exploring their queerness more explicitly, building on what he and so many other writers and also the actors have already established. I just hope that the fandom will respect the aro and ace aspects of the Doctor's queerness the same way they do their gender identities and other sexual and romantic orientations. Part of the reason I was initially quite worried about this was because of my experiences in the Good Omens fandom, particularly post series 2, as indicated in my original post. The other is that I doubt the show will explore the aro and ace aspects of the character as much as they may other queer identities - unfortunately aspecs have a history of being left behind in this regard...

But we will see, maybe I'll be proved wrong! For the time being, I just hope the queer community can celebrate all the different facets of the Doctor's undeniable queerness, including the aspec ones. And as the reactions to this post have been overwhelmingly supportive (I don't think I've seen a single outright negative response), I think this hope is far from unfounded.

(Sorry, this edit turned out to be longer than the original post...)
