Genderfluid Jax Truther

An assortment of Beanie Babies that had obviously belonged to a collector as they had tag protectors, including loads of the same one from the Four Seasons hotel in Philadelphia?? I didn't buy any of them but I was tempted by the bat and ghost bear in the window display, they were cute

Also pictured: cute ghost mug and LinkedIn cup (later found another of the same), a pawsome mug that tickled me because there's a UK furry con with the same name, and a truly epic mug that I saw on my way out of the store

All found in my local Vincent's, Co. Dublin, Ireland

and no, this isn’t me saying “write that messed up, disgusting thing” because while, yes, write it if it’s what you want (I myself enjoy writing dark fics, something I believe would be considered “vile” to a lot of people), this is me saying in a world of censorship and capitalism, ao3 really is a treasure.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

here's my take on a cured Jax design! aka reversed abstraction scenario~

I don't want to go. . .

I just want to say this because I’ve seen a lot of artists and writers genuinely worried about it.

Goose intentionally left things subtle, Jax never got the chance to openly talk about it, so people are naturally going to connect with the story in different ways. What makes me sad is seeing artists, writers, and fans become scared to post because they’re worried they’ll get attacked for using he/him, she/her, or for having a particular interpretation of Jax.

I’ve literally seen people talk about dropping projects or becoming scared to share their work because of it. This show means a lot to many people. Some see Jax as trans, some still interpret Jax as male, and some use both interpretations. None of that automatically comes from a place of hate, denial, or bad intentions.

You shouldn’t have to justify every drawing, fanfic, comic, or headcanon just to avoid getting dogpiled online. If someone uses he/him because that’s how they’ve always viewed Jax, that’s okay. If someone uses she/her because that’s what resonates with them, that’s okay too. People connect with stories in different ways, and that’s normal.

The real issue isn’t pronouns. The real issue is people attacking each other over interpretations that were clearly meant to be personal and meaningful. Please don’t make people afraid to create. We’re all here because we love the character, and nobody should feel unwelcome for expressing that love through their art, writing, or personal interpretation.
