I Genuinely Hate How People Have To Sit And Write A Post That Stands Out While Boosting A Fundraiser

An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)

cisgender butch lesbian: i don't care about being misgendered

all the cisgender people in the comments: she understands how she looks. why can't everyone be like that about misgendering?

weird way of telling transgender people to stfu about being misgendered.

like they're just pointing at gnc cisgender people and say "see, this person doesn't mind being misgendered based on looks, those transgendereds are just too sensitive!"

when they know full well misgendering hits different when you're transgender.

especially because she also said "when they see my boobs, they know i'm a woman".

and for transgender people it's often "and when they see [gendered body part] they think they know i'm a man/woman".

those are very different experiences.

especially as a nonbinary person where no one ever genders you correctly.

i've seen more and more cisgender people recently telling transgender and nonbinary people that we're not allowed to get upset when people misgender us if we "look like men/women". i'm tired of it.

stop holding transgender people to cisgender standards down to how we feel about being misgendered.

like, especially for me as a nonbinary person every he and every she just reminds me that the world was never meant for me.

gender stereotypes need to be abolished so people don't get misgendered based on clothes or hair or bodies anymore.

and don't even get me started on "but you look cisgender/like your AGAB". cisgender, transgender, nonbinary, female, male etc. don't have a look. i am nonbinary therefore i look nonbinary.

He/Him but not in the way I’m a man but in the way people assume every dog is a boy

I know that Jess's current videos are cringe and for kids and have so so so many issues, but I personally think that the idea of the smp could be interesting if it was done right so heres my idea:

Much like mystreet, these characters are reincarnated, but this time into a video game and have to play and survive while also getting along and maybe recovering memories? Clearly, Aphmau is still connected to Irene, being gifted all these powers. But they're also being put in situations so often by what? Some higher power? They don't know if their day will be normal or not. They live in anxiety.

They don't know who they are. They have to find new niches and personalities to fill that void. Sometimes, they recognize the other "players" sometimes they don't. Pierce and Noi and Rhys don't know anyone but each other they try to become friends but they can't feel that connection.

Romance is especially difficult. Sometimes, they feel naturally drawn to each other, which is why K.C. and Zane always end up back together. They don't have anything other than that familiarity. Sometimes, they just use romance as a cope. Noi and Kim don't know each other, but they need to fill the holes with new memories . What better than a partner?

Ein's destructive tendencies and most "players" not liking him are remnants of what he did. He can't control the urges, so he acts on them (and maybe then they won't take over like the potion took over everyone else).

Not that any of them know, Zane has theories, and so does Kim, but what good are those if they can't prove it? There's different universes, and they know that. They also know that other "players" can be forced in and out of that world, but who is doing that? Whose in control?

Minecraft itself is already post-apocalyptic, and then Irene throws a bunch of "players" with memory loss into the world for what? Her own enjoyment? Why choose one of her vessels on top of that?

That's my yapping. I'm just full of ideas for the smp cause cocomau is just bad, but I have a deep love for the characters, and I have a feeling Jess is going to continue to add more characters especially from MID.

Hi I'm back on this bullshit again :)

Instead of reincarnation, they've been pulled from the end of Mystreet/MID, memories wiped, creating an alternative universe, and because of this:

•Zane and Aaron have the worst memory problems due to being relics

•Aaron has to wear his blindfold again bc he has no control over his Ultima powers, he doesn't know why but he knows that something terrible would happen if he looks at someone

•They all have weird scars. Aphmau has the scar from Ein killing her, and some weirdly placed identical scars on her back.... Ein is literally dead, so he has an autopsy scar, Nana has a scar across her chest from Garroth, Aaron has bruise scars, etc

•Sometimes they remember things wrong, Ein still calls Zane brother sometimes even though he knows in his heart that's wrong

•The daemons have small amounts of magic, it's weak, but can be helpful in the right scenarios

•Unlike other characters who are pulled in for a one-off, Rhys joined late and stayed, leaving people to grapple with the information that anyone could stay, but whoever is controlling them choses not to, what's the significance of Rhys? Why him specifically?

•They're grappling with ptsd and trauma they don't remember. They dont understand their "new" triggers or copes. Why does Zane do X when confronted with conflict? Why does Ein do Y when faced with an emotional situation?

•Ein suffers from forever potions withdrawals and has nerve damage from the repeated use of it

•Aaron also has nerve damage from the severe bruising

•While some characters feel instinctive connections to each other, Aaron doesn't, because at the end of mys, he didn't know any of them anyway

•Ein has some 'interesting' attributes, as he has been brought back to life after his death in mys, he's always cold to the touch, doesn't feel as much pain, has a generally off putting aura, etc

•Kim is also quite similar because of Ghost. Although this also adds additional memories from Emmalynn, it's hard to distinguish what is Kim's and what isn't

•Aphmau sometimes gets phantom limb from her lack of wings

•While Ein and Aphmau aren't related, Ein often remembers wrong and thinks that they are (much like the situation with Zane) because the only fatherly figure he has had in his life is Zach and he gets confused about if it was biological or not

so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.

please hear us.

Ein MyStreet isn't a compelling villain to me.

Please note how I said ME in the title. This is just how I feel. You're entitled to your own opinions. Also this isn't the most professional analysis, I am just saying what's on my mind in the moment. Anyway, let's get into it.

OK so basically: Ein had a lot of potential. In the first half of season 1 he was a cute "bad" boy who just wanted to not be the Omega of the school whilst also having a crush on Aphmau. Then Aphmau made him Alpha Male and then he stopped being a character.

It's framed that everything he did with Aphmau was just a ploy to get the position of Alpha but like... He was so genuine so many times? He was blushing and all, he helped her out with the hair dye. He was a good boy who actually had a thing for Aph.

But ok, let's just ignore his characterization up until the twist because ooohhh he's actually really mean and manipulative. Maybe it's because of the power he now has after being bullied for so long but it's SUCH a jarring shift in character for him.

I guess Jessica wanted to make an actual Villain character since Gene and Balto weren't the most threatening and evil but like... They're in high school? They're not gonna be evil masterminds like what she was trying to do with Ein.

Gene and Balto were just bullies and that fit for PDH S1. Ein being evil is to shut down any romantic progression he would have with Aphmau since Kai got character assassinated and was a dick to her on a date (+ Ein's meddling)

All so that Aaron can come "save the day" and beat up Ein and save Aphmau from an evil man that she never figured out was evil. The most Evil things Ein did was pick an Omega without Aph and also ruin her date.

Ein didn't want to be the omega anymore since he was sick of being seen as weak and being bullied and ignored, and the teacher WANTED him to take that title willingly, even after everything he's gone through with it. And he KNOWS that Aph would try and convince him To take it on as well, so that's why he picked one by himself. And the date thing... Yeah idk why he did that maybe he was just jealous idk i forgor.

OH YEAH and he beat the shit out of Kasey so that Katelyn can have a reason to be racist towards werewolves when the Ultima Reveal. Completely forgot about that.

I honestly think PDH S2 had an interesting set up with the love triangle. Kai has Aaron's personality whilst Ein has Aaron's attitude. (Aph & Aaron's romance is awful but i'm just pointing out symbolism).

Ein was also racist towards Humans since he is a werewolf supremacist and he wanted to make Aphmau a werewolf so that she'd be perfect. Also werewolves are a minority that's discriminated against so this character trait is a bit uh... Yikes!

Also I just remembered this but Ein was working with Gene to get close to Aphmau and Gene wanted pictures of Aphmau for some fucking reason?? What was that about. We get no context on this other than 1 scene btw.

So the next time we see Ein is in Emerald Secret! Oh boy, I got some words.

So about 15 years pass since PDH S2 and everyone is an adult in their late 20s. What has Ein been doing in all that time? Obsessing over a girl he met in high school, researching heavily into a folk lore in order to turn her into a werewolf. Also he's been doing illegal potion making and used one of those potions to turn an actual wolf, human, so that he can be the alpha of her wolf pack.

Also he's working with the biggest bad of them all, Micheal! But we don't meet him until Season 6 or something. He also may or may not be mind controlling Ein during Emerald Secret we don't know.

So what else does Ein do this season now that he's the big bad again? Other than the wolf thing, he also brainwashes Aphmau's friends into thinking he's their brother, makes Aphmau obey his every word and love him whilst also despising Aaron.

And makes her attempt to kill Aaron. Despite the fact that he needs Aaron to turn her into a werewolf first, after he denies when he's asked, Ein was like "Ok well. Aph kill him lmao."

He also "dies" in the end by getting mauled by the pack of wolves he made himself Alpha of.

I don't think it takes that much brainpower to see why this is an awful twist (he was also a twist villain btw we didn't know it was him until midway). His motivation is stupid, why are you still obsessed with some girl from high school, you're 28.

Why does he even still have those pictures of her in high school? Like if you're gonna be obsessed with her, at least stalk her so you can get the modern update???

Also, his werewolf supremacy is played up big time here to the point it makes you question why he wasn't obsessing over Aaron like Xavier was. Maybe Jessica didn't wanna repeat motivation? But Ein & Xavier are very different characters, you could make it work.

He was just a mess of a villain once you think about his motivation for 2 seconds. And then he shows up in When Angels Fall!! This one is shorter I promise.

So in WAF Ein uses another illegal potion to make werewolves (who were in hiding since the Government is taking every single one of them and interrogating them because they might be some ancient folklore beast). And makes them all obey his every word and call him Alpha.

It's confirmed that after High School, werewolf packs and Alphas don't matter in the real world so it's weird that he was obsessed with it in Emerald Secret.

Anyway after that, he kidnaps Aphmau to hold Aaron ransom and when he gets his werewolf ears back (Aaron took them away in ES) he kills Aphmau because he was being mind controlled by Micheal.

And then Aaron and Ein fight on a bridge, Aaron kills his mind controlled friends, and then kills Ein. So let's talk about it.

the thing with this is that... It just shows that Ein COULD'VE been written well if he was mind controlled by Micheal with the illegal potions. Since Micheal had 100% access to Ein at any time and Ein played a major role in Micheal's plan to trauma trigger Aaron.

And honestly it would've made Ein a much more compelling character if he just... Didn't have control over his actions. One theme with the main group is that they decide what to do with their lives and how to move forward.

But that wouldn't apply to someone who was controlled, now, would it? And since we know that the person under the effects of a forever potion still have a conscious, and can see all the acts that they don't have control over, it would've made Ein a tragic villain.

And if he was mind controlled by Micheal during Emerald Secret it would explain why Ein was obessed with Aphmau despite it being so weird. Because guess what, Ein & Aphmau are half siblings! So that re-contextualizes every interaction they ever had.

I think that Ein should've had an actual character instead of being a cartoon villain like Micheal was. Ein is the only character to have so much DIRECT action towards the main cast. Why would you make him so messy and one dimensional?

And the whole Mind Control thing is something that can be easily done. Ein uses forever potions to make people Obey Him, and since Micheal doesn't have enough power to mind control Ein 24/7, him using a potion like that on Ein would make so much sense.

Since Ein is shown to be decent at potion making and magic by the time we meet him. Micheal is the only one who could've taught him all of that. And the thing is: IT'S CANNON ONLY IN WAH. They met before ES but it's left so vague on what their relationship was that you could say Ein did everything in Emerald Secret by his own volition and you'd be right since nothing is confirmed.

If Jessica wanted to make this a serious story, WHY WOULD YOU STOP AT THE MOST RELEVANT VILLAIN??? He's literally related to Aphmau and was apart of the experimentation in some way but we don't know because he's not a character enough for him to be lore relevant other than him being a plot device. I'm so upset on the way Jessica wrote him since he could've been so much more than he actually was.

I wanna add something: The mind controlled by Micheal thing is only one possibility with his character. You can do a whole lot of other things. The reason why I focused on the mind-control thing is that it's an easy cop-out Jessica could do in order to make Ein an actual character.

Jessica isn't the best writer and loves tropes & cop-outs so it very well could've been done in story. But instead she let Ein be vague as hell and also tying him so closely into the lore.

I just want Ein to be a coherent character with understandable motivations behind his actions. There is no excuse for him to be this important and yet so messily written.

And now he's dead. RIP Ein MyStreet. You could've been one of the greatest.

remember when jkr went full mask off and started acting evil and hp fans were like "ok we need to think carefully about the stuff we consume, how can we justify enjoying this series, how can we love it without supporting the author? should we try to separate art from artist or should we leave it be? isn't showing solidarity to trans folks more important? if we remain openly fans of this series will it show trans people we aren't safe or trustworthy?"

and then they decided that none of those questions really mattered and they continued to uncritically consume their stupid badly written children's books, and jkr has only gotten more nasty and hateful, and people only hate trans folks more, and now the answer to the last question is invariably YES. I don't trust any goddamn person who still loves Harry Potter in 2024 bc you've decided your nostalgia about a mediocre story written by a bigot is more valuable than the safety and wellbeing of trans people 🫶🖕

here's to every queer, disabled and neurodivergent american, as well as americans of color, especially indigenous americans having to deal with the stress of thanksgiving dinner with their families. i know the conversation topics get stressful for no fucking reason at these events, and i know that people love to interrogate and corner you in front of the entire table. it's an unnecessarily stressful time, and insulting to indigenous americans to boot. here's to you if you have to deal with racist, ableist, queerphobic family members today. stay safe.
