Getting Fixated On An Object Show Character Is So Hard Because It's Like Okay. This Character Is A Twist

went on the most insane grindr date of my life last night hold on

general ultimax and the wasp king

"Little creature? On the floor of my can? What brings you here?"

"As you can see, I am concentrating to the best of my ability to figure out a very personal problem for us iterators." "What is that in your hand?"

"A pearl?"

"I suppose I haven't read many pearls in a while, so I suppose that I can divert some of my processing power to reading it for you."

"…"

[ The pearl is highly invasive, loud and unusually distressing to decode. As if the message is written in all caps. It details Pebble's inner paranoia and fear, which leaves Moon to realize that her actions were unknowingly causing her brother an inevitable death. ]

[ As this is being processed, the Moon's chamber begins to tremor violently. It seems as though a horrible mistake was made. Something undoable. ] "Oh no, no, no." "What did I do?! My work, Pebbles, I—" [ Her body would fall down onto the ground, as she sat there defeated. ]

"..." "I almost had the answer."

"I could've... helped every iterator."

"…"

"Leave."

Wrote a little drabble-esque thing!! Enjoy n feel free to leave comments, always makes me happy to read em :o)

ft a lil scribble I made to go with it  

”Oh if we didn’t have xenogenders/GNC trans people/neopronouns/MOGAI/etc etc etc then transphobes would respect us.” Untrue. Most transphobes are so insanely vitriolic that you could be the most standard, decent, agreeable trans person, and they would still hate you.

I’m a fairly basic trans man, online and off. I tone my gender down even more for work. I have short hair, facial hair, I wear pretty standard non-fitted pants and t shirts with some manner of compressive undergarment underneath, and I go by my fairly basic, common masc name. The only difference between me and my cis coworkers is that I openly engage in good-faith discussions about my being transgender when brought up, and I have a “he/him” pronoun pin I like to wear.

I have one coworker who I’m well aware has never gendered me correctly. I have assumed it was an intentional, bad-faith decision (because of other, unrelated-to-me conversations he has had with coworkers), but I’ve never really cared enough to bring it up to him. I figured, “if this is intentional, that’s his issue. I’m not interested in trying to change his mind.” I’ve reached a point in my transition to where I don’t really care that much if some random person doesn’t respect me or my gender, because I don’t need every stranger’s approval to be happy with myself.

With all that being said, I’ve treated him the same as I have every other coworker. I’ve been civil, I’ve been agreeable, I’ve still been friendly to him and haven’t gone around the workplace intending to smear his name. (Yes, I have discussed his behavior to those close to me who have asked, but I’ve kept it very private and said that as long as he doesn’t say anything outwardly malicious, I don’t really care about his behavior.) He has been outwardly friendly to me, too, telling me about his past careers, showing me pictures of his family, we’ve talked about our hobbies and other things we enjoy.

Still, after all of this, he has given up the ghost and decided to gossip about me negatively to coworkers. I won’t go into detail about what I’ve been told he said, but it was all explicitly transphobic and pretty aggressive. I’ve never gone out of my way to make him mad, relating to my gender or not, so it’s a little out of nowhere. I’m not particularly surprised by this, but I’m more surprised that he would be bold enough to say everything out loud when working for a company that has explicit protections for trans people in place. He was reported fairly quickly, without me ever knowing what occurred. The only reason I found out about everything is because I overheard a manager discussing it with a concerned coworker from my department.

So, if you take anything away from this, let it be that no amount of friendliness, gender-conformity, or civilness with stop a transphobe from taking their transphobia out on you, and it’s not your fault or any other trans person’s fault. Don’t victim blame trans people who become the subject of someone’s transphobic hate, because a transphobe is dedicated to harming trans people regardless of whether they blend in with cis people or not. Don’t use a transphobe’s needlessly malicious behavior as a reason to harass other trans, GNC, nonbinary, or otherwise gender diverse people.

So, I recently had a thought and I kinda wanted to get it out: it seems like the main three heroes and the main villain of Bug Fables all have a theme of moving on from the past, especially past troubles, and how important it is to help each other if we want to do that. Heads up, I’ve been kinda bummed as of late and I’m still kind of bummed right now: I’m also a little tired, and generally not that smart so forgive me if the following is either a) stuff plenty of people have pointed out, or b) nonsensical (the part with Leif in particular I admittedly kind of struggled with). Just thought I’d get the whiny bits out of the way first, forgive me:

Hey yeah sorry we took your freak of a boyfriend and destroyed him. Yeah he’s split between two bodies now. Yeah he’s mostly robot now and trapped inside one. His teacher hates masochists so he got sold off for a ginger, sorry about that. No we can’t get him back, his body is trapped within a card and his head got burnt to a crisp by the robot he was stuck inside. Sorry
