I Think I'm Gonna Change Aphmau's Name In My Rewrite. Probably Aphiah (biblical) Or Apphia (Greek).

HOW do you figure out names for deities

So uh…I know that today is Trans Day of Visibility and this website’s mods are pretty horrible to trans women but…

Over on Insta and TikTok, Mercury Stardust (also known as The Trans Handy Ma’am) has been trying to raise money for trans kids. Her account has been flagged by trolls and banned 11 times. Shes not giving up, but she could use some support. Please please go check out her accounts and consider donating to the 501c charity she’s supporting. Our trans siblings need us right now.

Link to her insta, since her tiktok is currently banned again: https://www.instagram.com/mercurystardusttopz?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

She does all types of helpful DIY videos for home repair and helps answer questions for renters. Please give her a follow. Send her a nice message. Please let our trans community members know we see them and love them—today and everyday.

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

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.

This Ace supports Trans Rights. Reblog if you do!

trans men are trans. if you hate trans men, you are transphobic.

if this is difficult for you to parse, start from the beginning of this post and read it again until you digest it.

you can try to 4D chess yourself into thinking it's okay to hate trans men and that somehow doesn't make you transphobic, but you're being transphobic by definition whether or not you think you are, and nobody fucking cares whether or not you think you're transphobic: you are.

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.

YOU hates terfs

I’m so sick of transandrophobia & enbyphobia istg.

I’m so sick of trans “advocates” leaving transmascs and nonbinary folks like myself out of conversations.

I’m so sick of us ONLY sometimes being brought up in convos when it’s about getting pregnant/the ability to get pregnant, or only being brought up as a “gotcha” in the bathroom debate. By “gotcha” I mean when people say “well, you don’t want transmascs in the women’s, do you?”

I’m sick of talks about abortion & birth control being solely centered around cisgender women when I’m directly affected, too. I’m sick of them being called “women’s rights” when they’re MY rights, too.

I’m sick of people speaking on my chest size like I can control it & I’m sick of transmasc bodies being mocked and policed.

I’m sick of being the first transmasc/nonbinary person most people have met.

I’m sick of the fear mongering around T.

I’m sick of the side effects of T being mocked or treated as “gross.”

I’m sick of being forced into the binary as a “confused trans man” & being told I don’t understand my own gender.

I’m sick of getting tips to “be more feminine” in my transition.

If you see anything, ANYTHING, about trans men being pregnant and your first instinct is haha mpreg I'm killing you with hammers
