this is my home @avis-soup - Tumblr Blog

In the middle of uni hell but here to say TC is my current favourite of the delta kids.

Her and dagger too I think but there I go again projecting myself onto the obviously trans coded characters I wonder if this says anything about me surely not

hsbc upd8 spoilers ///

something about karkat and del and how they can only be free when the world they live in is destroyed. del cant live as a nymph or a satyr and karkat wouldve been killed for his blood color. wanting to live as a secret too even now karkat wears grey ohhh im sick

dagger is def transmasc, but not every transmac is entirely binary male. nymphs are also very black coded so its also important to consider he might not want to abandon his culture for the sake of his personal identity - many queer poc myself included will often tolerate some amount of ignorance from both sides to be connected with each part of their identity (ie, racism from queer communities and transphobia from coloured communtities). this is evident in ly'lac being ignorant to dagger's online persona and the CT being withheld information about dagger's real identity.

his name is a huge aspect in how we as the reader interprit his identity - it is important we remember that there *isnt* only one aspect to it. clearly, neither dagger nor del'fi fit entirely due to various aspects of his identity he is still trying to harmonise. these being: being male, potentially being nonbinary, being a nymph, navigating a world that is very strongly bisected into lines of both gender *and* cultural background.

i would like to implore tumblr to acknowledge intersectionality. the name dagger is a bit like my 11 year old self naming myself 'luna' as, a) a south asian child, b) a queer child, and c) a terminally online child

i have since resolved to moving my first (ethic) name as my last name and having my preferred first name be 'avis' to suit a whole lot of different asepcts of my idenity into one legally acceptable name. its a process figuring this all out.

im curious to see it will be reflected in this character who i already very much identify with and adore with my whole heart. bless this little creature <3

enjoy reading and theorising yall! be respectful and have fun <333333
