There's something genuinely inspiring about seeing a bunch of fanart and microfiction and deep meta analysis about a character you've never heard of cross your dash, and you assume they're from a piece of media you're not caught up on, but later you learn that it's some random person's OC that six of their friends are super enthusiastic about, and they only seem omnipresent because you happen to be following like three of those six friends. There truly is no minimum viable size for a character-based fandom.

Normal transgender dysphoria:
Chest too big
Chest not big enough
Facial balance wrong
Muscles too prominent
Skeletal structure too dainty
Incurable secret dysphoria
Not enough eyes
No tentacles
Teeth too dull
No halo
No bioluminescence
