Headcanoning both sets of Pines twins as trans has so much angst potential because like imagine being Stan Pines, a man who was so close with his twin brother they chose matching names, and almost thirty years after losing your brother and desperately fighting to bring him back you meet your grand niece and nephew, Mabel and Mason Pines, a set of twins who, just like you and your brother chose their own names and who, just like you and your brother, chose matching ones.
There's a fine line between pectorals and tits and he has undoubtedly crossed it.
"Oh these twins are different genders but they look similar so clearly they're actually identical and one of them is trans" WRONG! They're fraternal twins who are both trans and purposefully transitioned in a way to make them look more similar because they thought it'd be fun (and they were right!). I am objectively correct about this.
Was watching TNG with my dad and during one of the poker scenes he (while referring to Riker) said something like "I don't understand how anyone could call someone they've slept with "Sie" (polite/professional you in German)" but Worf was on screen at the time so it somehow didn't really click that he was talking about Deanna and for a few baffling seconds I lived in a world where my dad had somehow misconstrued Worf and Riker as having canonically slept with each other.
A lot of feelings coming from multiple sources right now.
I'm an afab agender person trying to build a life and career in the world of rock and roll. I also find behavior that's been normalized because of the egregious amount of rockstars behaving those ways pretty disgusting and I will continue to find them disgusting as I always have.
I understand my rise will be long and difficult. I am a passing afab. I am agender/queer. I don't associate with people who cheat, lie, exploit, or otherwise harm anyone because they wanted to/by choice without force. The music industry has been built by people who do precisely those things to gain more money, more following, and more attention. Drama is business. And I don't like it.
I'm not sure what my path is going to look like, holding down my morals and exercising my backbone while sacrificing "opportunities" but I know I will reach the place I want to and be proud of myself for it.
I'm going to be queer and I'm going to grow old. I'm going to be afab and excel in rock. I'm going to be a musician and not accommodate those who hurt people. Those are my promises to me and to everyone I hope to touch with my music.
I think one of the reasons I haven't posted here in so long is because if I draw now, I want it to be associated with my real self, not my online anonymous persona.
It had me start thinking why I was still anonymous here. Maybe I'm scared for people to know this part of me? That I'm on tumblr and like the characters and games and stories I do? It doesn't seem fair to any of you to be ashamed of my interests. Plus they make me happy.
I think I want to rebrand. "Redtrobug" is also such a cool name, but, I think I like it more now because it's nostalgic. "Red" comes from my favorite color and an old nickname I had while being unsure what name I actually wanted to go by, "tro" is a play on "retro" and "bug" comes from my first ever nickname given to me by best friend in elementary school. When I was a kid, my nickname was Ladybug, and it's my name now, so it's not like I'll be losing it, but it's hard to part with "redtrobug"
I think it'll be better for me though - to stop splitting my life. I want to be able to post my music and my art here. I've just never posted my face and it terrifies me.
I guess, before I make any big decisions, I wanted to know if you guys had any thoughts?
Thanks for reading
