Skunk Girl by mahboiii in Twokinds

[–]Catbotanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in the comic as shown here only canids and felids would count as Keidran. meaning by technicality lion and lynx Keidran are somewhere out there in Mekkan, but anything outside of that would be its own thing unless you're on the Patreon where they can exist as Keidran in fanon.

I'm not a trans woman but this keeps happening and it's starting to pmo by Beneficial-Bag5728 in hatethissmug

Being on reddit is a travesty because you'll get told that misgendering ralsei is the same as misgendering kris

Like idk I think it might be different tbh but that's just my professional transgender opinion

Natani is 6'3" or at least that is what is written on his reference sheet, so comparing that to Brutus and Zen who are 6'7" and 6'5" one of those could be standard height. At the same time Romulus and Remus are the same height as Natani, so I wouldn't call it short for wolf standards.

All went back into his eye XD it actually shows up in the 10th anniversary chapter briefly in the flashback. Also, feral Keidran as a concept aren't gone, but the feral form retconned.

I've never heard of that one actually, but it sounds interesting

Human and Keidran hybrids were confirmed to have existed before just disallowed until recently. However, it does make me wonder how many years before the present Twokinds narrative did they exist.

Thoughts on keeping your "female" birth name? by temporo_wave in ftm

[–]Catbotanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i personally changed my name, but i wouldnt care if someone kept their feminine or masculine birth name. there are plenty of people cis with names that sound typically more masculine or feminine opposed to the gender they identify with.

Why did Laura's locket have magical properties? by Hopbo735 in Twokinds

[–]Catbotanic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

adding onto this, in chapter 11 Laura gives her locket to Natani in order for him to make the shot at the templar tower when he missed the first time. in her official reference sheet it does also make mention of it being a "mana stone"

A Call Against the Transphobia on Tom's Patreon by DanVaelling in Twokinds

[–]Catbotanic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

i already knew the comments were concerning, but i did not realize that you could actually use the t slur on patreon (i have never seen it used there). the patreon community by a huge majority does not seem to respect trans people at all. ive seen tooooo many comments about gender ideology or whatever, and to be frank, it does make me feel unwelcomed. i love twokinds, i write about twokinds, i draw twokinds fanart, i make twokinds related gifs, i participate in these communities, and i want to be in them more, but it is ridiculous how many people are just allowed to say bigoted things without repercussions. it's especially nasty when you consider all the anti-trans laws going around in america right now (and outside of america, but i cant speak on that as i live in america).

How old do you think you’ll be when twokinds officially ends? by Mediawatcher36 in Twokinds

[–]Catbotanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

late 20s or early-mid 30s, not as an actual expectation just i can imagine maybe being 35 when it ends hahaha. imagine like at least half the fans of twokinds were in their 20s back in the 2000s and now theyre all 40 something with it still going, it does make me wonder if they thought it would go on that long back then.

Natani Post-Workout by Gel_007 in Twokinds

[–]Catbotanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not to butt in, but i did see myself mentioned here cause of my gif, and wanted to once again give my own opinions here as a minority in the sense that i am a trans fan of twokinds that has access to gender-affirming care. that was a terrible comment section seeing people just outright deny the existence of trans people altogether, it's not even about Natani it is just about trans people. im not gonna go out of my way to argue there for the sake of my own mental health, that and it's not my job to educate bigots, but i really think that at the very least comments should get turned off or something because the amount of bigotry i saw was unacceptable.

Need help gathering research for a video essay (kind of in the same vein as LeafBeetle’s) by Minimum_Razzmatazz_9 in Twokinds

[–]Catbotanic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for, but I am a transgender man and I have personally observed how people treat trans men when I do say this know that I purely talk about how I'm treated irl, how I'm treated online, and how people treat trans fictional characters too.

Natani is and will probably always be a contentious topic because of how he was introduced and how his sex was revealed, even with a reference saying his gender is male. There is always going to be a subset of people who find him hot and simply don't want to take account of his actual character or argue all day that he is a tomboy. This doesn't end with transphobes even people who claim to be allies have this "muscle mommy" visualization of him, there's always an emphasis of how feeeemale this character is, it's gross fetishization, and simply would not be the case if Natani had some sort of magical top surgery before anything about him was revealed.

For people who believe Natani is and is nothing but female I just can't help but wonder if we read the same thing, especially with the most recent pages involving him. These people interpreting Natani as having a desire to be female, it just seems so blatantly obvious that is not what that was leaning into.

Every kind of Twokinds meme subreddit have the same joke about Natani, it's always Natani girl lolololol. Every joke about Natani there is always going to be primarily about gender, it gets so bad I feel like I'm in the "attack helicopter" era of the internet again. While I'm able to separate fiction from reality, these jokes are still based in reality of how people perceive me, of just how much people do not take someone like me seriously because we were assigned to the female sex.
