no, the underrated gem is the “sheep and a dying wolf” trope where the sheep finds a wounded wolf and decides to help nurse it back to health, out of sympathy, despite all the horror and the violence the sheep knows the wolf has done and is capable of once it’s healed. but deep down, the sheep also knows the wolf hunts and maims and kills only to survive. for the sheep’s friends, the wolf is a monster who deserves to die a slow and painful death. but for the wolf — and maybe for the kind sheep too — the wolf’s violence is only a means to survive in this world that has deemed it a cruel, mindless monster. the wolf, despite its pride, accepts the sheep’s help. and slowly the wolf finds itself unable to kill the sheep who saves its life, despite having regained its full health and strength. for some reason the wolf wants to protect and shelter the sheep the way the sheep has protected and sheltered it when it was left to die from the wounds it sustained from the fight it’s lost. maybe it really does take so much violence to be this gentle.

That doesn't mean it shouldn't change.

If you enjoy a fic, leave a kudos or a comment.

No matter how much you dislike your own writing, I promise you it’s better than AI

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

If you read the fic, leave the kudos. Leave a comment too, if possible. Just do it. It takes a few seconds of your time and it means the world to the writer.

Sincerely, me who just got told that my writing feels like watching a blockbuster movie. I don't care if they were sincere or not, I'll be thinking about that comment for the rest of my life and every time I feel bad about my art, I'll remember that someone once liked it.

an important thing to remember about colonialism is that places that were colonized were not perfect utopia but often full of their own horrors and abuses

the other important thing to remember about colonialism that the above does not justify colonialism

Transgender love is more hopeful than the law.
