(original tags: she literally had tears in her eyes while she explained that her pikachu had a boy tail shape. i was like hey she can still be a girl. all we know from her body shape is what her body is shaped like. maybe if we asked her she would say that she feels like she’s really a girl. and my kid was like BUT POKEMON CANT TALK 😭😭😭😭 so i was like ‘ok. pikachu. if you want to use he/him say ‘pika’. if you want to use she/her say ‘chu’. and if you want smth else say ‘pikachu’’. and my daughter had her say ‘chu’ and i was like see there you go! now. she doesn’t HAVE to change her tail shape. she can totally be a girl with a rectangle tail. but if she would feel more comfortable with heart shape bc she prefers it, or so that people won’t assume she’s a boy, i can make that happen. so pikachu what do you think? do you want tail surgery? and pikachu agreed enthusiastically! so. plushie gender-affirming surgery first thing tomorrow i guess!)

something I really like is how despite Pink's Ghost is separated from her body for much of the fight, she maintains her Mew Mew "image" the whole time. the only real differences between Ghost and Body are the eyebrows and the smaller pupils. she never reverts to being a generic ghost like Napstablook, or even the Mad Dummy we know from Undertale. body or not, this is already who Pink IS, and being separated from her body doesn't change that. it makes me very happy.

Hey kids, there is a loving trans adulthood waiting for you.
