Do you have any hobbies? Things you like to do?
I like to cook. There's something so nice about being able to create something delicious with your own two hands. Cooking for people is fun. But I don't exactly have anyone to do that for right now.
As a cis person, I don’t mean to speak for trans people when I say this, but I actually thought Luka in the OG Steins;Gate was very good trans representation. Even if Luka was technically cis in the worldline where she became a girl, I honestly forgot that she was cis and not just someone who transitioned in that worldline while watching. When Kurisu was defending her from Okabe’s thoughtless but well-meaning comments about her being a guy, it felt like I was watching a cis girl defend her trans friend from transphobia. And then later when Ruka gave up her pager number and resigned herself to becoming a guy again, it was made VERY clear in the show that giving up the gender she identified with was the hardest thing she’d ever had to do in her life, and that she was giving up a part of herself that made her feel complete. I was moved. It helped me empathize a lot with people who experience body dysphoria.
And though I did feel that there was no excuse for Ruka not getting to identify as a girl in S;G0 since it was a sequel, I can’t help but say, that’s just Japan for you. I mean, even now in 2024 we’re only just starting to get yuri animes where the characters explicitly use the word “lesbian” to refer to themselves (nobody better fact check me for this because I stole that from someone else’s post). People forget what it was like in 2009. Trans characters simply did not exist on TV unless they were lascivious drag queens or goofy transvestite characters played for laughs. And heck, even when I was still in school back in 2016, trans people were still called “transsexuals” and there were only three sexualities and two genders.
So for a Japanese VN that came out in 2009, I thought Steins;Gate was pretty damn good trans rep.
Completely valid view tbh! I was still shocked that, despite some unsavory moments, there was still an "attempt" to make Luka what she wanted to be in the end without her being judged for it! I'm sure trans people viewing Luka were feeling seen, and I've heard of people realizing they were trans because of her and that's awesome! And surely there's media that have trans people as laughing stock, but it's still a shame that Steins;Gate has "moments" like that in a way.. One thing that bothers me more though is not only how she was written per say, is how people fetishize her trope, those are the bottom of the barrel hands down. And people that justify her not being canonically trans because the creator didn't say otherwise, it's just an excuse to be transphobic. And I think in that case is just people being assholes, but surely Japan normalizing the trope like that isn't helping either. Still, thank you for the ask! Have a great day :D

The TVA meddled with your affairs as well?
@tricksster
They did.
Their agents showed up one day and grabbed me. I was shoved through a weird doorway and well I'm sure you know how their process works. Eventually I earned my release and they spat me out here.
*Slides in*
Are you single?
*Winks*
I'm not looking for anyone right now.. Thank you.
*Boop*
Thank you? I'm not sure what to do with this.
If you were going to have any animal, what would it be?
Do you mean as a pet? I have a cat, named Socks. I am fond of dogs too. If I didn't have Socks I would probably have one of those dogs who look scary but are the sweetest things in the whole universe. I do quite also like Ferrets.
Smash.
Excuse me? I don't know what that means. Are you a fan of the hulk??
Do you miss your home?
Do you mean my world or Sokovia? Because yes. I very much do. It's a very hard thing to do. Leave everything and everyone you've ever known behind. I don't know anyone here. I'm all by myself. It's a very lonely existence.
