Now, somehow, their entire mental health is based on the continued life and happiness of this fairground goldfish that they picked up.

Neither of you know the first thing about how to care for even a healthy fish. This fish has been poorly cared for, has multiple diseases and the person who handed it over explicitly didn't expect it to live nearly as long as it already has.

You're frantically googling how to set up a fish tank, where to buy fish food, can you even take a fish to the vet? Your partner wants you to know that they're happy they made it home and survived their horrific ordeal, but also that if anything happens to the fish then they're going to kill everyone on this planet and then themself.

You're honestly wondering if you're even helping the fish, or just prolonging its suffering, but your partner will only accept medical help for their many injuries or engage in basic self-care once they're confident that the fish is being looked after.

So you get a tank. You set up a filter and all that stuff. You learn way more than you ever wanted to know about water temperature and ph and nitrate levels. The fish is safe. You start to develop some affection for the little guy. Your partner begins to recover. The fish begins to recover.

Which is when you learn that in its 'healthy' state, the fish regularly refuses to sleep when tired, keeps begging for food that is obviously unhealthy for it (and struggling to eat the food that you do provide because “it tastes gross”), and continually tries to persuade your partner to take it out of its nice safe tank so it can go explore the wonderful world of Outside, where the slightest mishap will kill it instantly.

The only reason she hasn't said anything is because of the theatrical spoiler embargo. After the YouTube release she's almost certainly going to say on Twitter "yes, Jax is indeed transgender."

literally bro like it’s GLARINGLY obvious that she’s trans idk how they can miss it

i’ve seen people claim that the bow was a symbol of vulnerability and not of transness and it’s like. dude it’s a symbol of vulnerability because SHE JUST CAME OUT AND REVEALED A REALLY DEEP SECRET

i’ve also seen people straight up purposely misgendering her because they ‘don’t like her’ (like ‘correcting’ people that call her ‘she’ and saying “*he 🤓🤓🤓” you’re genuinely just being transphobic atp piss off

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:
