It's my birthday! If you're interested in giving me a gift, consider taking a look at my ongoing Locked Tomb/Magnus Archives fanfic and leaving a kudos or a comment, or share the story with someone who might like it:

DR. GREGORY HOUSE from HOUSE MD

JUSTIFICATION:

"House is known for his deductive reasoning skills but gets confrontational when anyone analyzes him and his inexhaustible supply of self loathing/pity, plus he routinely reaffirms his gender in a way that borders on confrontational. That said, transition would not have made House a *better* person, but she'd be way hotter and more interesting." - @pretentiouslimericks

COULD TRANSITION HAVE SAVED HER?

Yes

No

It would make her worse

It would make her worse (affectionate)

Welcome to the SPC. From this moment onward, your job is very, very simple: you are going to punch sharks.

In the face.

You will punch sharks. When not punching sharks, you will be planning on punching sharks. You will be developing new ways to punch sharks. You will read about punching sharks. You will write about punching sharks. You will study punching sharks. You will dream about punching sharks. You will jump the shark. You will collect and contain paranormal objects, and then use them to beat up sharks. Punching sharks is your life.

Which Discworld character is most likely to be a lesbian?

It’s almost too easy but of course I’m going to say Sally. The way her physical appearance is introduced just makes her sound so gay. I know so many lesbians who look like that.

(Mardu-lesbian) Tanya is a beefy orc blacksmith from Tarkir, now living on Kaladesh. Would she get along with any of your girls?

She sounds delightful. She’d probably get along with the majority of my girls tbh but would probably have the most fun with J’antal or Astra.

I feel like Samus’ true discomfort zone would be right in the middle of a big unfamiliar city

Yes, though I also think it depends on the city! She strikes me as introverted, so probably doesn't like long bursts in public spaces, but she may also be pretty curious (if scanning literally. every. detail is anything to go by- and thats canon because we all love doing it riiight?) so she might enjoy experiencing new cultures.

I think she'd be most uncomfortable in human-dominated urban areas, because they're busy and full of people specifically. Mixed-species places are better because there's such a variety anyway, but she might feel more like she stands out in a human environment, because of her Chozo upbringing and behaviours. She'd feel out of place, but also like she shouldn't feel that way because these are her people. It's not like she's some ordinary alien traveller who would understandably fail to get the local customs, because as a human she'd be expected to (even though human cultures themselves are highly varied- there's some things and behaviours that all humans roughly adhere to and Chozo might not, like body language and such).

In any case I think she'd want to keep her head low, avoid being recognised, and blend in with the crowd- this is probably easier to achieve in very mixed communities than in very human ones. Actually, late in her timeline, maybe she would be more comfortable in human cultures, having had plenty of time to adapt (being in the military among other humans probably helped) and maybe she actively wants to reconnect with the only people and homeworlds she has left.
