this is so real. I'm too impatient to deal with a year of the in-between phase of growing out my hair (plus it's thinning on top so I'm not super motivated anyway) but hell yeah grunge hair
#trans-stuffPutting a crop of green ribbons in my hair, with no plans to get out or anything. I do it just to feel pretty. Which is something I spent 35 years fighting myself to be allowed to do.
#TransStuffUuurgh! Got an needleepilation appointment in a bit and i put some local anesthetic on my lips per accident. Thats so weird!
#transstuffWe got lore for Kinger, of all characters. Man.
The show's writing has a way with just ... implying things. The episode never depicts Ragatha's group at any point between the scene with Pomni falling through the door and the smash cut to the tea party, so we have no idea what Jax did that resulted in Ragatha and Gangle tying him up and gagging him. And yet ... we know exactly what he did.
On the other hand, I knew exactly where the Checkhov's breath-holding contest was going to be fired the minute the recording said "the next breath you take will be your last", but. There's a world of difference between an offhand mention of "yeah, Kinger starts glowing when he holds his breath", and. just seeing a guy who is at his most lucid and comfortable in the darkness, glowing bright enough to turn night into day.
One of the things Kinger said was, "In this world, the worst thing you can do is make someone think they're not wanted or loved." That's what happened to Kaufmo. That's what happened to Kinger's wife while she was married (which I choose to interpret as needing more than one person to care about you and not that Kinger was a bad husband). That probably won't happen to Jax because he's such a monumentally self-absorbed dipshit, he either doesn't notice or doesn't care that nobody likes him.
... and Pomni's first thought, after escaping to the main part of the house, was to express her appreciation for Ragatha. Hm.
Caine is ... subject to the same rules as everyone else. And nobody cares about Caine, because he doesn't care about them. On the bright side, he's also a sufficiently self-absorbed dipshit enough not to worry for very long, like Jax; however, this is still a problem, because as the episode demonstrates, he's a load-bearing dipshit.
Zooble is the most trans and non-binary character, good lord.
protagonist of a gender-bender story is just this total eggy jerk, and pisses off a witch who's like "do you want deeply-ironic curses that'll teach you a valuable lesson? because that's how you get deeply-ironic curses that'll teach you a valuable lesson" and protag goes "fuck you, bitch!" so the witch goes "fine. curse of Explode Your Dick." POV shot from the protag as the witch shoots a laser downward. "AAAA--" smash cut to the protag bolting upright in bed as a girl with short blonde hair. she looks at the clock on the nightstand; she wasn't actually asleep, it's mere seconds later. then she realizes how her body has changed. "(high-pitched) AAAA--"
How it started: Some goo a guy was making in science class comes to life. An immortal being named Pandora Chaos Raven is straightforwardly evil, messing with mortals out of a sense of boredom. Wacky Alien Science and fetishy gender-bender stuff. Justin is the token gay friend.
How it's going: Pandora Chaos Raven, who was revealed to be not completely evil but cracked under the weight of her own immortality, sacrificed her power and her continuity-of-self (but not her emotional relationships) in order to save the lives of three family members; she reincarnated as a teenage girl named Hope, who is determined to become a better person than Pandora was, and is presently unlocking traumatic memories she-as-Pandora voluntarily suppressed of saving the life of a little girl. Wacky Alien Magic and magical genderfluid stuff. Justin is the token cis friend.
