Feeling pretty gender today. Happy TDOV from a 44 year old trans man.
As legislation gets more and more hostile towards us, I get increasingly bitter at how visibility without action results in us becoming targets and wedge issues. It’s exhausting.
I hate having to plead every day to cis folks to take this crisis seriously. TDOV especially feels like “beg to be seen as human beings” day.
Every trans person posting today is opening themselves to a spike in harassment that might follow them for the rest of their lives. Just in the hopes that our allies could do something beyond telling us we are valid. We know we are valid. We need action so we have the same opportunities to survive and thrive.
Cis folks, you can challenge transphobia in so many ways:
Give to trans orgs and trans people directly
Stop supporting and platforming transphobes such as the wizard lady
Become more involved in local politics, from contacting your reps to voting regularly
Make your workplace more trans friendly by explicitly protecting gender ID and presentation. Normalize preferred names. Get rid of gendered dress codes. Etc, etc.
Be brave and call out all the casual transphobia you encounter. Even if it’s coming from your own family. Especially here, really.
Listen to trans people. Follow us on social media, uplift our voices where you can. Resist the urge to tell us you’re “one of the good ones”. Learn about our challenges, especially how they intersect with race, disability, etc.
I’m being visible today for fellow trans folks who are being made to make themselves small, or even invisible. I want to let y'all know that you deserve to take up space in this world. That trans folks of all ages exist and have always existed. That being trans is not a tragedy or a threat, just because cis folks think so.
hey you look really cute today
april fools you look cute everyday keep it up

Itch.io has announced a huge bundle of games that will benefit the people of Ukraine by funding humanitarian efforts. Millions of Ukrainians have had to flee their homes and many of them are in need of food, water, and medical care.
For a minimum donation of $10 you will receive hundreds of games valued at over $6,000
Over 700 creators have joined in support to donate their work. All proceeds from this bundle will be split between the following charities:
International Medical Corps provides medical assistance in the region. They have very low fundraising overhead (1% of income), with 89% of donations going to medical aid and 10% to administration.
Voices of Children, a Ukrainian organization that helps children cope with the horrors of war, PTSD, readjusting to school, and getting back to being kids. They have also been doing a lot of grassroots impromptu work during the war, such as helping set up shelters. Our hope is that this war will be over soon, and they can begin the work of healing these kids’ hearts.

A very important headcanon i have somehow neglected to share on here...
hi! you, yes YOU,
are you a fan of any of the following?
welcome to nightvale

gravity falls

hello from the hallowoods
hilda
the raven cycle
probably some more that i cant think of right now
then you should listen to camp here and there!
camp here and there is a comedy-horror podcast that absolutely fucking slaps
it takes place in a midwestern sleepaway camp, but there are some weird happenings that take place
camp here and there is the subject of some sort of research project, in the show notes, all the characters are referred to as "ENTITIES" with numbers following them, and all locations are referred to as "SITES" and all sinister happenings are referred to as "ANOMALIES"
so theres a lot to work with if you like making theories and that kind of thing! and if you dont, you can still enjoy listening to these funky little podcast characters having a jolly old time (or not)
the main character is canonically trans and autistic!
the cast is full of queer characters!
there are a plethora of characters and there is plenty of dialogue!
the audio that the listeners hear comprise of the morning, noon, and evening announcements and the end of day injury reports narrated by the camp nurse, sydney
it has an amazingly fun soundtrack composed by will wood
there are only 10 episodes out, so you can listen without getting too overwhelmed, but there is already a patreon, discord server, and bustling fan community!
general trigger warning for unreality and other trigger warnings are listed at the beginning of the show notes
hope you check it out!
All these complex reading order flow charts for where to start Discworld .Don’t people know the best way to star Discworld is to randomly purchase a deeply discounted copy of a random book in the middle of the series somewhere, love it and only then discover you’ve gotten yourself into a 41 book series?
I think a One Piece Monkey Island Au could be possible. The style and humor could definitely be interesting to see play out. Pirates + More Pirates = An absolute win to me
Guybrush is still a pirate wanted for many smaller crimes like MI2 but also his incredibly unique sword style. He would also still be happily married to Elaine who is now a member of the world government as a marine and governor of Melee or the tri-island area. They live in Melee located maybe in one of the Blues or the grand line before the introduction of the New World.
Side characters like Morgan, Stan, and The Voodoo Lady could also big players in this universe. Morgan admires Guybrush for his admirable swordfighting but also a pirate hunter working for the marines. She could have history connecting to Zorro or connecting towards Nami’s backstory. Stan could be an annoying nuisance who comes and bothers the straw hats with lackluster products and random things due to a change in career, probably wooing over Ussop, Chopper, and Luffy.
Now the voodoo lady could be a bit of a villain or a source of uncertain waters. Her powers could be magic or even the use of a devil fruit, like Basil Hawkins and his voodoo and tarot card based powers. No one knows if she’s on their side, the other side, or a side of her own. She could also be able to see very clear visions of the future like Madam Shirley. She like in the Monkey Island games could stay a mysterious force that looms over all and watches all.
Lechuck’s power could be a devil fruit that allows him to become a zombie but not face the consequences of dying after contact with sunlight. His power could make him still alive but also allow him to become a ghost or spirit at will, like Brook. He still would seek vengeance for the hand of Elaine and be seen as a feared pirate over in the “Caribbean” area of the world and maybe spread towards other nearby islands and their folklore. Not many would be able to have proven him real especially since there would not be many who would live to tell the tale, maybe Guybrush might be the only survivor. Something he might take with great pride i.e. “That Time I Blew Up Lechuck”.
The straw hats could arrive on melee and the island in between looking for treasure hunting purposes but then get roped into the hijinks of Tales. Where they meet the plunderbunny couple in the middle of the action or the moments before.
Either way I could see it, pirates, pirates, and more pirates? Hijinks and humor littered throughout? Sounds like quite the adventure to me!
Come aboard and bring along all your hopes and dreams (and your rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle too)!
Day Four: Monkey Island AU
What’s this? You want to shift outside of canon? You have an idea that wouldn’t normally fit within the structure of the game’s canon? You have a…. gasp! An Alternate Universe?! Share with the fans, what’s an AU you would do with Monkey Island?
MI 1 + 2: Really just the first special edition I would love to just tweak. The art direction and some of the redesigns just have me preferring the older style compared to the new and improve version. And I feel even some of the most simple of movements are not very appealing to watch. (watching Guybrush use the rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle was not as satisfying as the original). Though I’d also say that trying to barter with Stan was kinda a hassle to me. Also give the voice lines and background ambience noises included in the original for the special edition. Please please please god please. I don’t think I have any gripes with Lechuck’s Revenge. These two games were great and it kept my attention and got me interested in the monkey island series, they’re great games and great introductions to games like them.
COMI: The more cartoony style done for the Curse was great and made it feel like a wonderful visually-interactive pirate adventure :). But, I do realize I wish we could have gotten a little more Elaine action and more of her involvement other than Guybrush having to save her. And also have a little more bonding time between Guy and Elaine towards the end. Without it, it makes the ending feel so rushed like, “I’ve saved you. Now I’m married to you.” It would have been nice to have a little back and forth banter between the bride and groom to be. Maybe a little more dialogue like when Guybrush proposed (and maybe have him try to sing and the barbers shut him up for something idk). Having that would make the ending a little less rushed than before
EMI: Oh dear. Really wasn’t a big fame of controls. Arrow keys and function keys were not fun to navigate with or for any item collecting. They were a pain.
The humor was kinda hit or miss depending on the joke or maybe a little reference towards a topical joke at the time. It kinda made me want to skip the dialogue sometimes, even though most of the dialogue is so fitting and great.
MORE GUYBRUSH AND ELAINE AS A HAPPY MARRIED COUPLE MOMENTS. Please please please. Playing Curse and then directly going into Escape feels like their relationship is now kinda on the rocks compared to the ending of Curse, where they seem very much happy and content with each other. Would want to have more cute plunder bunny moments for the soul.
and speaking of guybrush. I’m all for that goofy deep voice guybrush pulls off but it feels weird to have a happily married man and seeing him casually flirt with some of the other characters. Please more plunderbunny.
The randomization of certain tasks did lessen my enjoyment of the game. It made me go, “How the hell was I supposed to figure that out?” instead of making me feel proud to have understood the rules of the puzzle. Like the sushi boats, prosthetic order dial, and Boulder throwing.
Just a big no on the monkey kombat or at least modify it to instead do monkey noises you learn Australian slang to defeat Ozzy Mandrill. Just fix it to get rid of the tedium.
Could have gone through the series without the monkey head being a giant fighting robot and instead maybe just defeating Ozzy but then have him possessed but Lechuck to give him a role in the final battle. Also just put a big giant ‘x’ over the whole Charles L Charles thing, It didn’t make much sense to me. Just straight up Lechuck would be fun.
TOMI: Tales is great, there really isn’t Mapuche i have. The game is great and a nice neat story that combined a lot of what people love about the series. The characters, dialogue, humor, etc. All of that was there and combined to give us such an enjoyable game to a lot of people. I would like to change the controls on Tales but it’s mostly just for inspecting items and combining them for tasks. Maybe have it be like Curse and just drag it from one part to another part of your inventory. Also sometimes using the music to drag Guybrush along was a little uncomfortable. But really don’t think I have much to say other than more plunderbunny. I really don’t think you could have too much of that. You know?
Day Three: Something You Would Change
Monkey Island isn’t without its fair of flaws. Whether glaring issues or something small and trivial, there’s that one thing that if it were up to you, you would change. So pretend for a moment, you have that ability: What would be something in the series you would change?
Guybrush thought it was a good idea to see what it was like being in his psychonautical partner’s shoes for a bit. Nelson Tethers may not be a monkey island character but i couldn’t get guybrush’s attachment to the wildcard Au out of my head.
Day One: Outfit Swap
Guybrush, Elaine and LeChuck have three outfits they rotate through (and Stan and the Voodoo Lady as well if you really think about it). But suppose… they swapped outfits with one another? For today’s prompt, draw Guybrush (or a MI favorite character of yours) in someone else’s outfit!
