I can domesticate him.
It was kind of interesting to me that out of all the people in our training group, the ones that were the quickest to form social bonds were the people from way out in the country and the city people just kind of quietly kept to themselves.
But I was definitely accepted as one of the bumpkins.

A series of images my brain blasted me with before work this morning about a Rottmnt and Phineas and Ferb crossover.
Donnie: Behold! My lab!
Phineas and Ferb: wide starry eyes of delight and awe
Phineas: hey Donnie, want to help us with this [engineering project of the day]
Donnie: wide starry eyes of delight and awe.
Raph and Mikey playing with Perry the platypus ("he's so cute!) and generally hanging out with the rest of the pnf gang.
Leo (bursting through the door): Guys, I SWEAR, I saw the platypus don a little hat and pull out a ray gun or something I'm NOT CRA-
Leo eyeing the platypus: "I'm onto you..."
Perry and Mayhem straight up having a car meme umbrella academy moment and just giving each other a curt nod
Doof: Why, Perry the Platypus, I swear to you that mechanical robot rampaging through the city is not me! It's calling itself a Turtle-Eating Dragon, and you KNOW I end every invention in -inator!

i have been trying for like. months to explain how the relationship between butch lesbians and trans men is not something akin to polar opposites and this is all i got. like it's not like this:
it's a venn diagram with a massive overlap in the middle. i'm not saying EVERY butch is a trans guy and EVERY trans guy is a butch dyke , i'm just saying it looks more like this:
these are not "mutually exclusive" terms- they do not mean the same thing, but we can be the same people, an very often are. there is a long history of butches who identify as FTM, trans men, drag kings, genderqueer, genderfluid, transmasculine, male, polygender, and two-spirit lesbians, and so much more. the relationship between lesbianism and queer masculinity is inseparable and the only people telling you that butches and trans men need to violently separate from one another and be at each other's throats are terfs. even if we do not share identities, we share our struggle together as heavily misunderstood and unseen masculine queers.
we stand up for each other when our identities get confused by strangers, and we get misgendered. we stand up for each other when terfs and terfpilled people tell us that transmasculine people and men can't be lesbians, when people say "butches just want to be men", when people say "butches aren't real women", when people call each of us bull dykes and trannies, when people mock the way FTMs walk and talk and look, and when people tell trans men they're "just butch dykes in denial". we stand up for each other and understand each others struggles.
whenever a butch lesbian asserts they're a woman no matter how masc they are, whenever a trans man asserts that they are a man and not a butch, whenever a butch struggles to be seen as both a man and a lesbian, and whenever a trans man returns to the lesbian community while embracing their manhood, we are part of the same community, we share the same struggles, and we owe it to each other to stay strong.
we are not enemies. we are bedfellows, lovers, family, spouses, partners, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, siblings, friends, each others support networks, even if we don't share identities perfectly. whether you are butch and a woman, butch and a man, butch and something else entirely, a male, ftm, genderfluid, polygender, genderqueer, transmasculine, nonbinary, two-spirit or whatever else you may be lesbian, you are part of our family and your experience is worth being heard.
