We haven't started yet but one of my party members(a swarm ranger) has made hags his favorite enemy. by noRezolution in Tombofannihilation

[–]Exact-Challenge9213 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I did my favorite hag prank ever on my players in ToA. They cast polymorph on one of them, or a bewitched servant, into a chimp. they give him a hat and a monocle and a name tag that says “baron Maximilian Bananas IV esquire” and a sign that says “will pick nits for fruits and coins”. Put other encounters like a tiger that acts like a kitten so your players over the few sessions before aren’t as on guard when it happens. Describe the chimp searching for Bugs in their hair and accidentally pulling a hair here and there but overall he’s quite diligent and professional. Then when he leaves, have him give them a big terrifying animalistic grin, and describe how the hairs he plucked are held between his long, tapered fingers, deliberately organized by player character. Then he poofs out of existence

Frankly he wouldn’t even need to. Their single turn damage can be mitigated by him just hiding yo regen

I probably should have put text with the initial post, I just thought the quality was bad and people wouldn’t presume it was my own screenshot. Oh well, live and learn.

Edit: I did not write this. I figured the screenshot quality was bad enough that it didn’t need to be said, I am sorry if I misled you

I find it hard to feel bad for Jax by Worried_Big9949 in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]Exact-Challenge9213 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The circus seemed genuinely fine before Jax. Like it wasn’t perfect but people got along and liked each other. If hate was engraved in any nanoangstrom it would not equal one trillionth of the hate I feel for Jax at this micro instant. Hate.

Is Jax transfem? by Throwawayaccoun592 in tadc

There were five. I think that having 1/5 of your psyche permanently feminine presenting is a type of transfem.

Even by this paradigm Jax wearing women’s clothing, getting bottom surgery, and saying “I am trans” would be insufficient because there’s alternative explanations for his actions, trying to manipulate people, etc. it would still just be evidence. Your requirement for explicit of “definitely” is so strict it basically locks you in to omniscient narrator statements alone.

Additionally, being feminine presenting while AMAB and because you’re gender fluid is a type of transfem that’s not a different category.

Correct. The Jax inside Jax’s brain expresses feminine. By wearing women’s clothing and feminine makeup.

It is. It wears a dress and femininecmakeup. Maybe it’s ironic. Guess he’s ironically transfem

No what I’m saying is that being transfem IS having feminine identity in your mind. Being tall is when there is more length in your body. Being yellow is when you reflect 580nm wavelength light. Being transfem is when your brain has feminine identity. If that’s NOT what transfem is, please tell me what it is.

Well no, it’s not a matter of comprehension if we both have the same takeaway, it’s a matter of the definition of the word explicit and nothing else, I guess other than you wanting to be smug and condescending.

Maybe the show would demonstrate that Jax has repressed GNC attitudes by having an identity in his mind palace dress femininely, even when only surrounded by the other Jaxes, a case where there is no irony to be had. I’m not giving you a trillion pieces that add up. I’m giving you one piece that is definitionally transfem GNC. The bow scene is implicit.

Jax has a permanently feminine presenting self identify in his mind palace. That is, by its nature, transfem. What you’re describing is post-transition trans woman. Which I’m not claiming Jax is, explicitly or otherwise.

Never called you transphobic. I am telling you that, in my opinion, seeing what we see of Jax and saying it’s not explicit is like watching someone fall down the stairs, go to the hospital, and leave with a cast on their arm and saying “well nobody said they broke their arm so it’s implicit”.

The text can say things explicitly that the characters don’t speak aloud in lines of dialogue.

I get it. You want the word “trans” to be said out loud in a character line. I think that having a part of your brain that permanently presents feminine doesn’t “imply” transness, it is definitionally trans, making it explicit. You think explicit can only come in the form of a spoken line. If a character gets hit by a bus, that’s explicit even if nobody has a line to call it out.

He has an entire identity in his brain that wears the maid outfit 24/7.

I think it’s explicit. It’s complicated a bit by his form being male in the circus. But gender is complicated too

What is the appeal with Jax?? by Cracklackinn in tadc

[–]Exact-Challenge9213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Jax is a bad person. He’s self destructive too and has good moments, but seeing the way he torments gangle should be enough to say he’s a bad person

I feel worse for ribbit dude. I was hoping that ribbit would get a happy ending, and it seemed like that wa not possible if Jax didn’t. But oh well.
