So over the weekend, i remembered a minecraft series i used to watch back in covid. I was really into Dollastic's content and her minecraft series were all phenomenal so i wanted to support her collaboration in this project called "My Hero Origins": a mha inspired rp. It had multiple perspectives of each and every character present and showed various stories. Back then i thought nothing much of it but now that its been 6 years now and im actually old enough to understand stuff: i can say its REALLY complicated and well done.

Right now, im watching from the character im going to talking about's perspective: Rikku, a 15 year old trans girl with a quirk called explosion. Im talking about her because i remember the transfem jax fiasco and wanted to share to light actually good rep while talking about the rp that get such lil love...

From the very beginning - even before she transitioned - she stated that she was heavily bullied for having interests in "feminine" stuff in her small town, influencing how she interacted with all the other students in Monarch Academy. This reflects the very nature of homophobia and gender norms: how many kids and teens are considered "weird" for not fitting societies boxes. She was so excluded that the only person she could confide to freely was her mother

Before leaving: She asked her mother if she could ask for a change of uniform from male to female, as the male uniform felt tight on her and wasnt as flowy and elegant as the female uniform. This sets up a little goal for Rikku to overcome: last in the male uniform until her mom's next visit. She looks at all the other girls and genderfluid people in their female uniform and cant help but inspire to be in their place, like her partner Shizu or her close friend Yuuki. When she does eventually get a change of uniform: she is so overjoyed and feels more confident in herself: getting the approval of her friends and her mother. Sounds a lot like satisfying the gender dysphoria in her heart and kickstarting her soul searching

She then realises that she hated going by he/him, and began her process of transitioning: asking Yuuki for her old small clothes to wear and coming out slowly, taking an entire episode each for each person she came out to: her friend, her roommate and her lover (and eventually to everyone else but i havent gotten that far rewatching) The process of getting to this point is slow but actually present in the series. They dont gloss over trans experiences to get to the final point, nor does the creator reveal it OUTSIDE OF THE SERIES. From the beginning it was clear as day she was going to struggle with her gender and the show uses the episodes they got to flesh her out

Even the other characters are amazing trans umbrella rep. Her lover - Shizu - is a genderfluid person who came from a prestigious household keeping their polarity quirk pure by marrying quirkless men. The females are the ones to get the quirk and Shizu is often referred to female terms by their nutsuck-of-a-mother and in turn, makes them hate using feminine terms when upset. HOWEVER, their father, always kept validating them. He used the pronouns they wanted, even if it always changed with no problem. He used feminine terms positively, resulting in them liking pronouns like she/her when happy. The show uses such a unique way of expressing their gender by correlating it based on their mood, which is reflected by their eye colour: Red only (happy) for she/her, blue and red (neutral) for they/them and blue only (sad) for he/him. This ALSO matches their quirk of magnetism, which is beautiful

My point is: its not that difficult to represent your own community in a way thats present in the show and in a way thats deep, as being trans is entrenched with a persons experience: how they experience life. This thing was made in 2020 yet it had writing that should be the average norm of 2026

Im sorry if im being annoying but I will say this again: JAX BEING CONFIRMED TRANSFEM OUTSIDE IN THE SHOW ISNT GOOD WRITING. Jax wearing a bow isnt a hint towards being trans. Jax wearing a maid dress isnt a hint towards being trans. Those are just feminine things that anyone can do

Goose had the money and the resources to hire more writers to develop this idea but CHOSE to write it all by herself and then moan about how the fandom is mad that she couldnt represent her OWN COMMUNITY with the respect they deserve. There are so many more excellent trans-rep that could be used to critique Jax, but i wont talk much more about this topic as im dragging it a lil

MY HERO ORIGINS, FANTASY AU

In the dawn of Ruby Kingdom, Princess Rikku residences with her trusted Knight Artemis that became close friends, but bares a secret not even she knows..

Artemis, bounded by a curse from his father, an ancient deity he had seen his father worshiped when he was young, but now must bare the markings with the mind of UMBRA inside of him.

Will they both come to terms to accept each other? how long must the secret be kept? perhaps with the help of the people around him.

CHARACTERS

Knight Artemis - Faithful to protecting Princess Rikku, known each other since he started training and grown close to be friends, but keeps a secret in fear of everything falling a part.

UMBRA - Bounded with Artemis, he cares for nothing and causes his own chaos within the grounds, sees what Artemis see, though Artemis cannot himself, his will is stronger but not his emotions.

Knight Kol - Trained a long side Artemis but has always distanced himself from people, only talking if it's in his favor, benefitting his plan that might unknowingly affect Ruby Kingdom.

Wondering Poet Shino - Has decided to stay in Ruby Kingdom as a break from traveling and helping the people along his way, in searching for his childhood friend, Kol.

Thief Colin (Pretending to be a Knight) - Growing up in the outskirts of Ruby Kingdom, stealing and conning was his only survival, realizing that staying shelter at the troops of the Ruby Knights was a way, decided to snuck his way through, maybe falling for a two haired colored knight..

FYI

I'd like to say this now that Artemis/Colin/Shino/Kol will be the ship for this (yes they're a polycule)

And if you're wondering where i've been, I have been posting more on my TIKTOK , so feel free to check it out since i have more Origins content on there that I have not posted here.

first times posting on originsmcrp tumblr Ever, and only my second time At All posting my art, so please be nicesies... i've been a fan of mho for a little over a year now, and im remaking my refs for my designs!! :)

i hc artemis as a system with a quirk induced dissociative disorder, and shino as a trans man ^_^ shino got a fake id to get top surgery... that idiot... /aff. i also hc Every Metahuman as a weird creature thing so be prepared 4 that.

Awee thank you. Didnt really get into mho and couldn't find much on Aries but I hope you like this colin stimboard.

She was my utter favourite for so many reasons not only because I related to her a lot but also her story was so simple yet sweet
