How does your character feel about reclaiming slurs? Do they reclaim any themself?
i think jackrabbit doesn't have strong feelings one way or another when it comes to reclaiming slurs. i imagine he would self-identify as a faggot (or whatever the equivalent term in his setting would be, realizing i haven't thought about that), but he is. very out of touch with the larger queer community as a whole in his setting, and probably honest to god does not know that that's a controversial subject. that's just the label he uses for himself, and he doesn't think it's particularly interesting or noteworthy.
How would your character feel if they could go back in time and see their younger self before discovering they weren't cishet? (If they always knew, maybe a time before they had the words to describe it?)
jackrabbit realized he was trans at a pretty young age, though he didn't have the words to describe it until his young adulthood. if he had the opportunity to go back in time and see his younger self, he'd mostly feel... pity. moreso for Other Shit going on in his life at the time, but still. he'd look at his younger self and think "poor fucking bastard doesn't know what's coming or who he is."
i don't think it'd be a dysphoric experience for him or anything like that, because in his eyes he's changed so much that he's effectively a different person entirely. he'd look between them and just feel... bad for that kid. maybe a little uncomfortable, but not in any sort of self-conscious way if that makes sense.
