SHE WAS BURIED IN A FREAKING SUIT. A SUIT. SHE WOULD HAVE WANTED A DRESS, BUT HER PARENTS DECIDED ON A GODDAMN SUIT.
HER name was Leelah. SHE was a beautiful girl. SHE was misgendered by the people who should have accepted HER for who SHE was. How is it that everyone else in the world could accept who she wanted to be apart from her parents, why couldn’t they have accepted her as a daughter at her funeral and buried her in a dress, nOT A FUCKING SUIT.
“Without trauma, the superhero genre seems to say, your stories don’t matter. Which is part of why I love G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona’s ‘Ms. Marvel.’ Kamala Khan doesn’t become a superhero because she’s traumatized; there are no dead Thomas Waynes or Uncle Bens in her origin story. Instead, she stumbled into superpowers, and then, inspired in part by her family and in part by her Muslim faith, she decides that she wants to use them to help people. And most of that helping is not especially violent — her first super-act is to save a drunk girl from drowning, and it takes her several issues to actually fight anybody. The first battle is with a confused fellow student who is sort of, kind of robbing a store; he ends up shooting her, which is presented both as low-key and as a big deal. Ms. Marvel isn’t permanently hurt (she has stretchy super-powers and is invulnerable) but the one accidental shot is still presented as terrifying and wrong. Violence here isn’t truth, but aberration; a fissure in real life rather than real life itself.”—What “Ms. Marvel” Gets Right About Comic Book Violence (via fykamalakhan)

One of my favorite headcanons is that a troll’s body temperature is determined by their caste.
Karkat’s body is 36 degrees like humans. Every caste is 2 degrees colder than the one below it. With Aradia being as hot as 42 degrees, and Feferi being as cold as 20 degress.
Like seriously why aren’t we talking about the fact that white trans people like Brandon Teena and Leelah Alcorn are made into symbols, have foundations opened immediately for them, are turned into fucking movies, but the names of TWOC like Islan Nettles, Alejandra Leos, Nizah Morris, Tiffany Edwards, Zoraida Reyes, Kandy Hall, and Yaz’min Shancez don’t even escape our fucking mouths.
