skele (in progress)

I'm shipping the masked parkour phantom torch carrier with this walking-on-water mechanical horse rider. Fanfic writers and artists please do your thing.

In my mind they are siblings.

not untrue

sherlock holmes deduces you are trans before you've figured it out yourself and refers to you with those pronouns and then when you look confused is like "ah...had you not arrived at that conclusion yet?" and wafts away in his dressing gown to smoke seventeen pipes, leaving you in a gender crisis

Hercule Poirot deduces you are trans by accident because he suspected you of murder and broke into your house and searched your stuff then puts 2 and 2 together when Hastings makes an innocuous observation about your fashion sense or something and he jumps up and cries “mon dieu!!!” before striding over to you kissing you on both cheeks and saying “ah, cher ami, you must live as you choose!” and then running off to confront the real culprit while you stand there in befuddlement

Columbo deduces you're trans from context clues while he's talking to you about the area, immediately uses your preferred pronouns and starts telling you about his cousin, who's also transgender, and how they got this job doing security, and how they told him that a security guard always locks up, and asks you if the guard locked up last night, and isn't it weird the place was open? And you're like, well, someone else must have opened it up. Maybe the guy in charge? He has a spare key. And then he nods and goes "the guy in charge has a spare key... well, how about that?" And then he offers you a cigar and wanders off, and a day later your boss gets arrested for murder.

Also the bury your gays trope is about when you have one gay character or one gay couple and they die off and the straights get to live. It's about linking queerness and tragedy. Bury your gays is not when one character who said he had love for a guy once in the most repressed way possible dies and then after he dies one gay couple moves in together in a cottage by his grave, another gay couple gets fucking married, and a lesbian, a nonbinary person, a bisexual man, and a woman of undetermined sexuality all in a polycule together sail off into the sunset. Lol. Lmao even. The gay happy endings are abundant. Queerness is not inherently tragic here

Oh thank you so much! I love hearing about the activities of normal men!

Reading a Terry Pratchett book is literally just: Here's a funny little joke Here's something that you can tell is a joke but don't get and will only figure out five years later Here's a surprisingly cool fantasy concept Here's a unique and well written simile Here's a lil guy Here's something that has aged depressingly well into the modern day Here's something that has aged remarkably queer into the modern day Here's a character that you can barely understand what he's saying Here is the most terrifying and deeply disturbing concept you have ever heard, casually mentioned Here is the dumbest fucking pun you've ever heard but in the best way Here is a quote so profound that it makes you view morality and the world in a different way Here is a plot twist that you can't tell if it's genius or stupid Congratulations! You've finished the book! It has fundamentally changed you as a person and you will never be the same!

Can't stop thinking about this.

My future

yes all my favorite characters are desperate to be loved. no i don’t think that says anything about me
