Hey, does anyone know whether there's a specific tag for two different versions of a character meeting and interacting? Because I feel like that actually comes up a lot in fandom.
Anyway, here's one of those, with Lucifer (TV) and Lucifer (comics) meeting! This is one of those concepts that's super interesting to me about a character who's supposed to not have a gender or supposed to have a specific nonbinary gender being trans towards a binary gender. It's kind of ambiguous here, because I think being nonhuman Lucifer would have ambiguous views about it. But the idea is all angels normally use it/its and so comics Lucifer just does that because it's normal, in a roughly cis way. There's a bunch of fate and destiny stuff that's, like, metaphorical or something.
The disability is in here with TV Lucifer's wings, and it's used analogously for becoming ill, injured, in a physically dangerous situation, etc. as a direct consequence of escaping abuse. Which I think it mostly was on the show, too, but in case people need a warning! The risk of harm to the body for a chance to chase bodily autonomy runs through the story.
Set soon after the comics and at the beginning of the show, but if a different reading makes more sense to you I'm not going to tell you how to interpret it!
For DC Trans Week Day Five: I'll let you judge how much you count misunderstandings and/or disability, but I do have the parallel universe and the it/its characters!
