Green Haired Mess

Ahoya. I'm known as the Gumba Masta and I don't have really much to say. But I have lots of art to post so that's what you'll get here. Unless I'm reblogging other peoples's posts, which I will do lots of times as I'm incapable of forming thoughts of my own. Injoy your visit.

Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.

Sound off in the tags! Link to the fanart or fic if available. Do it. Give me the girls. Make more women.

I have a chart for this ("estrogen would fix him" is the stuff that qualifies here. I could write a short blurb about all of these but I'm too tired to do that right now so y'all get the chart).

(Description below the readmore rather than in alt text since it's long.)

A venn diagram with three circles, labeled "estrogen would fix him," "estrogen would make him worse," and "estrogen could not save him (but it'd be really funny)."

In the "estrogen would fix him" section are:

Kirito from Sword Art Online.

Mister Priest from Make the Exorcist Fall in Love.

Cloud from Final Fantasy 7.

Don Quixote.

In the overlap between "estrogen would fix him" and "estrogen would make him worse" are:

Enciodes Silverash from Arknights.

Denji from Chainsaw Man

In the "estrogen would make him worse" section are:

Light Yagami from Death Note.

Izuku Midoriya from My Hero Academia.

In the overlap between "estrogen would fix him" and "estrogen could not save him" are:

Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh.

Sanji from One Piece.

In the "estrogen could not save him" section are:

Shinji from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Char Aznable from Gundam.

Quatro Bajeena from Gundam.

In the overlap between "estrogen would make him worse" and "estrogen could not save him" are:

Zenos from Final Fantasy 14.

Laios Touden from Dungeon Meshi.

Lazurite Roy from Arknights.

And finally, in the dead center of the venn diagram, are Shirou Emiya from Fate/Stay Night and Kim Dokja from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint.

In a far corner of the image, away from the venn diagram, is Saber from Fate/Stay Night, labeled with her name and overlaid on a circular trans flag.

I would like to point out that this chart has both Char and Quattro in there, correctly recognizing that these two are completely different people with no relation to each other.

The whole "Elvis sighting" thing is hilarious because, like, the first documented career Elvis impersonators began working over twenty years before the guy even died. I wonder why a public figure who has a whole industry of people who look and sound like him would generate an unusual number of posthumous sightings? It Is A Mystery.

I think Joan of Arc's fursona would be a dog called Joan of Bark, but my partner thinks it would be a phoenix, which seems insensitive to me, but neither of us are furries, so I guess we don't really get a say either way.

[swiftrunnerfelidae]

I promise I’m not trying to be pretentious here. Jeanne d’Arc’s last name is d’Arc.  An overly-literal translator insisted it stood for “of Arc”, and that’s why we know her as Joan of Arc.  At the time, she was more commonly known as “Jeanne la Pucelle”, meaning “Joan the Maiden” or “Joan the Virgin”.

anyways since her main attack strategy was “hit them until they stop moving” I think she’d be a gorilla.

The secret to always having things go according to plan is to have multiple mutually exclusive plans which between them encompass the entire space of possible outcomes. That way, no matter what happens, it will be according to a plan.

[prokopetz]

It's fun when you get a certain Feeling about an artist's style, and are immediately able to confirm it by scrolling back through their archive and watching their work transform by tiny increments into Homestuck.

Homestuck the Genghis Khan of webcomics

I wouldn't say it's quite so ubiquitous as that. There are a lot of cases where you'll go chasing down a Vibe and the root ends up being Invader Zim instead, which can be a bit surprising when, according to the age in the artist's bio, they were not yet born when Invader Zim debuted!

[gumbamasta]

[prokopetz]

It's actually a bit surprising to me that we haven't seen contemporary meta brainfuck indie games do more than they have with 1990s point and click adventure games' penchant for developer-intended softlocks. That feels like something you could very easily spin as Saying Something.

[prokopetz]

Honestly, having grown up with this bullshit is probably a big part of the reason I'm fascinated with player-hostile game design. Giving a puzzle three different solutions with fully voiced and animated reactions to each, except two of those solutions render the game unwinnable in ways that won't become apparent until hours later is a level of "fuck you" that most modern games with pretensions of player-hostility can only dream of!

[prokopetz]

@lunchm34t replied:

what adventure games softlock you like that?

I'm usually loathe to suggest TV Tropes as a resource, but given that only a person who's entirely unacquainted with the genre would be asking that question, a primer is probably warranted. Check out the Unwinnable By Design article and read the preamble for context on the types of softlocks we're discussing, then hit either the "Sierra" or "Infocom" links (yes, those two publishers each have their own dedicated sections!), pop open the "Cruel" tab, and get ready to read some stuff that makes you mad.

[sd-d0-l1y]

There really is only one correct way to play some of these games huh.

[prokopetz]

A critical piece of context that a lot of modern gamers completely miss is that Douglas Adams' adventure games are works of parody not only in terms of their narratives, but also in the sense that they're rather vicious parodies of adventure games as a genre. Each of their absurdly obtuse puzzles is lampooning some puzzle design trope or set of tropes that was legitimately commonplace at the time they were made, and many of the really nasty bits are crafted specifically to piss off experienced adventure game fans who otherwise wouldn't get caught out by that sort of thing. They're outliers in the genre only in the sense that they're putting forth extra effort to be annoying about it – most games of the type pull the exact same shit entirely without remark!

[prokopetz]

(Honestly, the player-hostility of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tends to be tremendously overstated owing to a combination of effective marketing and the fact that it's the only adventure game from that era that any significant number of current-gen gamers have ever actually played. In terms of sheer fuckery it's considerably friendlier than stuff like, say, Codename: ICEMAN.)

I must spread the transfem Noelle gospel, so here I am! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و 

I absolutely LOVE the idea that Dess was very adamant about giving Noelle a "badass" name and got into a big argument about it with Carol. Dess would totally say something like, "Oh my GOD, mom, why are you against self-expression?!" because Carol refused to have a daughter named "Midnight Raven."
