"T will make me ugly, unlovable, aggressive and nobody will love me once I take it" = Bad thinking, unmotivating, discourages you from actually taking it
"T will make me a fat talking microphone who is handsome and I will be loved by a TV Head guy with issues" = Good thinking, motivating, will help you to see your future
- Zappers are a sexless species but because they're the only ones like that in TV World that means they still adherent to gender roles thus an assigned gender based on them. So Jongler was assigned to be male due to being perceived as masculine; however, they didn't like it. They never felt entirelly connected to masculinity but although they do like being feminine, it isn't enough for them to feel female either.
- They quickly came into this conclusion but didn't came out immediately; just giving hints n what not until they were comfortable enough to be publicly enby. This happened way too early before Battat even came to TV World.
Battat (he/him ; trans male)
- Pippins ARE a sexed species (w the typical male, female and intersex variations), but their dimorphism is very minimal which only matter if you're a bit intimate with them. This explains a bit about why Battat never realized he was trans, he only did when he started the Mike impersonation and was reffered with masculine honorifics and terms. It doesn't mean that he wasn't dysphoric however; he still is, but at least he can take advantage of his specie's gimmick and pass as male for quite a long time (plus I hc he does get on T in Castle Town :D)
- Battat thought for a long time he was gay (or at least only attracted to men) because he couldn't see himself dating a woman. This was caused by his dysphoria in some way, as he couldn't stand the thought of dating one if it meant that he had to be perceived as a girl as well. He changed his mind when he realized he still loved Pluey even after she came out as a trans woman to him.
Pluey (she/they ; trans female)
- Shadowguys are a predominantly male species, with shadowgals being a rare case. Pluey had never recall of seeing another shadowgal in her life, which only made her repression stronger. It wasn't until they realized Battat was transmasc that made them get that, if Battat could be a guy and enjoy being one, then they could just... stop being a guy if they felt empty about it. Everything went well and she's now happier than ever <3
- They never had a name, even after transitioning, until the Pluey minigame came around. Fun fact, did you know "pluey" sounds similar to "pluie" which is the french translation of rain? And yes, rain can be rough, but it's very soothing and cozy when it isn't heavy. Perfect for her, Pluey quickly got attatched to it, but so far only Tenna, Battat and Jongler know.
Battat, stop deadnaming your girlfriend bro. If she wants to be called as Pluey then you should let her be reffered as Pluey. It doesn't matter that she works part time as a man named Mike. You know damn well that Jongler is still Jongler even if they dress up as him, why is it only a problem when it's with Pluey? Even Tenna knows she likes being called as it regardless of the situation dude. I thought you'd be better. Why even trying at being their boyfriend.
