since all these "____ character week"s people do for characters birthday always miss dimple on account of him not having one, i think we should make up for lost time. starting at 3 PM WST (6 PM EST, 5 PM CENTRAL, ETC), every FIVE MINUTES, participants will deliver a new dimple. ready your arm braces.

Trans visibility has gotten scarier for years now, and the trans people celebrating today are extraordinary. I love every single one of my trans siblings, including the ones who don't want to be visible today or can't be. Stay safe, and don't let them take your pride away from you.

learned it was trans day of visibility so. behold. this post is visible

comic transcript:

MARTY: Doc, I ah... This might sound weird, but, uhh... I don't think that I'm a girl. I think I want to be a boy. MARTY: Is that weird? Does that makes sense...? MARTY: I guess that doesn't make sense it's fine just forget it- DOC: [in his head] I DIDN'T RUIN THE SPACE TIME CONTINUUM AFTER ALL!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa DOC: [out loud] WONDERFUL!!! MARTY: ?? Um. Thanks? Did you. Was it obvious...?? DOC: [in his head] That was not the correct response.

Never put together a proper one of these, but in the midst of everything going on in the country right now, it felt like a good time to reflect on just how damn happy I am to be trans, and the joy that transitioning has brought me.

I was never completely miserable about my gender as a kid, but even just going through old photos, it's so clear to me that there were little things that grated on me about being assigned the category of "girl" that I struggled to understand. I wonder a lot, if I was growing up nowadays, with so much more awareness of gender diversity going around (even if not all of it is good), if I'd have put the pieces together sooner.

I guess that's what I'm reflecting on this TDoV -- that visibility feels like a double-edged sword these days, but that it's still important. And at a time when it feels like we have enemies everywhere, I think being visible is important, if only to encourage those who are on the same or similar journeys.

I'm here, and you are too, and we're in this together.

this is me realizing I never posted the doodles I made after my second read-through of Fisherman’s Knot by Scribefindegil on Ao3 (if anyone knows their tumblr pls lmk) (I’d @ them otherwise)

@scribefindegil I hope you don’t mind the @! Your fic is one of my favs and has permanently altered my worldview on glitter. Ty for writing it <3
