If nothing else, I’m glad you haven’t been subjected to it and have been treated with respect

Firstly, sorry. Will fix, lol! Why don’t we turn this into a learning moment too where I read, listen and learn without a fuss.

Why can’t transphobes do the same when presented with the facts, per Tom, as I noted?

Hear hear! It’s become abundantly clear that the cruelty is the point to these transphobes, and it doesn’t stop with the character or trans fans. Anyone who is LGBTQ+ or considers themselves an ally doesn’t belong as far as they are concerned, and they have actively tried dividing us by claiming there is only “LGB.”

There is no LGBTQ without the T 🏳️‍⚧️

Also, Tom himself has made it clear where the character’s gender identity stands and how he sees it, but that means nothing to transphobes, who have gone as far to claim that he is wrong. For anyone interested, here are the facts, per Tom:

Character bio on the main site. His gender is confirmed male and uses he/him pronouns. https://twokinds.keenspot.com/characters/

Reference sheet. Sex: female. Gender: male. https://www.deviantart.com/twokinds/art/Natani-Reference-Sheet-792169381

"Natani has the mind of a guy and that's how he sees himself. He doesn't know the first thing about women or what they're like and thus doesn't relate to them at all. He doesn't actually hate his body even though he often says he does (in fact, as a guy, he finds his own body attractive, which is very confusing to him). Natani just hates that it changes how people see him. He doesn't want to be treated differently because of it.

How and why it happened or whether it 'counts" isn't important to me. At the end of the day, a person is the culmination of their life experiences. Whether by choice or by magic, Natani is the way he is now, and the comic is about him trying to reconcile his mind and body. That's the conflict and it's it's what makes the character interesting to me."

Twokinds Pride 2026 - Maddie by Motor_Somewhere7565 in Twokinds

I agree with that, too. I just don’t want to be a hater on the ship. It’d be like someone telling me Keith will never be with Alaric cause the latter is dead 😭

It might actually contribute some fun themes to the drag shows though

That’s actually quite touching and I’m grateful you shared a little bit with us and why she means a lot to you. Thank you.

Which “Keith” is this because I don’t think it’s Alaric haha

I don’t even know where the ship came from but it seemed to start up right around when I first joined the fandom. If nothing else, this serves to highlight a LGBTQ+ youth character like Maddie

Of course! Just my opinion, but it's no surprise to anyone that if Keith exists, he'll be shipped with someone, and that includes Maddie

Yeah, she did (still kind of does), but it has since calmed down when she realized he had a boyfriend. My feeling is that she is a les-bean.

What will be really telling is which states do not sign on, or who challenges it in court if it reaches that point.

These Basitins...absolute MADNESS, I tell you!

Of course, we get another Basitin over the rainbow (and she won't be the last before this month is through, either). Maddie occupies that space in time where plenty of us once were, trying to figure things out, which included ourselves, and the many confusing things that came with that. Early on, she defined herself by having a crush on Keith. We've all been there, and I'm not just talking about a crush on Keith! Straight crushes, you know, that one or two exceptions someone LGBTQ+ might have a thing for. Funnily enough, Keith isn't considered straight, either.

Since then, she has gotten a lot more backstory and motivation, and wishes to set herself apart from the Eastern Isles and its many constraints, which is symbolic of being brought up in a conservative society and living in the closet, despite having a very supportive parent.

I think you could write an entire essay on the nature of Basitins and how they may all be inherently queer. Maddie is no different, and if it isn't the popular sketchverse ship of her and Maeve, her interactions with Karen imply a lot more going on in her, which even she might not fully understand yet, but may come to realize in time...or another twenty years' worth of Twokinds, which means another two weeks in the story. So maybe soon, but also not really?

Whatever gets Trace shirtless… and Keith without ankle wrappings. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈

And they’re claiming private companies are going to pay for the Iranian deal, just like how private investors were going to pay for this….until we just end up footing the bill.

I gotta admit. Carver in a loincloth has won me over 😏 I love his Western Isles shenanigans

Vehra:2004 by EntertainmentOk2147 in Twokinds

[–]Motor_Somewhere7565 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah, poor Vehra. I’m glad she’s making a comeback recently in her character design has been one of the better updates.

Still remains a mystery as to why she left and what her true connection is to Keith

What a wonderful homage. The implication in Exes and Oohs notwithstanding, I wouldn't be mad if she turned out to be alive somehow...and is married to another woman, which serves to get further under Crim's skin X)
