Cut to the core

My big hot take that I feel more intensely than I thought I would prior to realizing it is that White Chain from Kill Six Billion Demons is the single greatest trans character ever written and illustrated and she deserves to be the most important quite frankly. She deserves to have an infinitely greater cultural impact in wider trans media and I’m wounded that she doesn’t. She’s a black trans woman born as a genderless angel and her self actualization moment is literally the most profoundly moving and devastatingly beautiful sequence of panels I’ve ever seen in my life, bar none. It is so important to me. It is power and beauty and so raw in a way that nothing else I’ve ever read has ever been. In a story that works in subtext the whole way leading up, it is a moment of turning to the audience with absolute unbridled bluntness in its message that masterfully takes all breath away without ever feeling the curse of the heavy handedness that plagues other “I am a trans woman” moments in other trans media. It is a perfect encapsulation of someone struggling, agonizing, desiring to find some sign that they should uphold and conform while their very soul undergoes transformation, becoming beautiful and divine in a way that cannot be fathomed by any who try to pressure her to stop. Her body is a symbol of shackles in a way that isn’t just agony or ugly loathing; it is stone, heavy and burdensome and hard, but it is when she breaks that stone and becomes flesh and blood that she RADIATES power like no other media I have EVER seen depict a trans woman.

There is NO ONE in trans media like White Chain and it’s a god damn CRIME I don’t see her celebrated as a cornerstone of the beauty we can embody when stories are written about us with true love and care and reverence.

Please please please, if you are a woman of any kind, but ESPECIALLY a trans woman, I consider kill six billion demons absolutely integral reading material, there is simply nothing else I’ve ever seen come close yet in my short life that does women’s beauty of all kinds the same kind of justice.

WHITE CHAIN IM WATCHING YOUR STREAM WHY YOU TRYIN NOT TO LAUGH GIRL THATS DISRESPECTFUL AS SHIT

My K6BD prediction: Given the foreshadowing with Juggernaut star being (allegorically) a self-hating trans woman, I think she and white chain are going to scrap while arguing over their own visions for the angels, avoiding the real conversation about their own natures post tournament arc. Then comes a transformation like white chains???? followed by them teaming up on michael.
