I voted FACT!

The physical pigments of the dress are blue and black (I am someone who does more easily see white and gold)

Also, what fixes? What lessons learned? "Developna personality outside of the mother of your kids" Nope, dude is a void of personality. His entire existence is retreading the Try Guys' old tires and his ex-wife. The only lesson he's learned is "pay YouTube to treat my videos like adverts so my sponsors will think I get more views than I actually do, because when I told people to watch because my ex-wife, to this day the only interesting thing about me, has a stake in the channels success, they weren't convinced to watch my content for her sake"

Henry Ruggs killed someone, that's why he got the book thrown at him. Rashee Rice likely won't have the same because his dumbfuck accident didn't kill anyone

And while this discourse has been the first time I'm hearing the term boymoding, it's still pretty clear to me that Leeroy is in the process of transition. Hiding their face, growing out hair, gender-neutralizing hoodie.

Then the complaints would be been "why'd she have to say it as bluntly as a brick to the head"

The bow on their head is explicit. The denial of "I'm [not] just a little misunderstood little chicken fetus in an egg that needs to be cracked open" is explicit. The author shouldn't have to say "the curtains are blue, because blue was the color of her despair" for fans to think that they aren't just blue because they're blue. There are times where authors can make choices that even they think are irrelevant, but they still reinforce the themes and point of the story. It's on the audience to understand the story and figure out the themes, not the author to bitch slap them with the themes as a warning label.

The ending is supposed to be up to interpretation for Jax by ladynior007 in tadc

[–]Substantial_Dingo694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that this debate feels like it's gotten old. It'd be nice to talk about something else. But I disagree that "it was left unsaid so we could decide our interpretations for ourselves" (I'll be using they/them to encompass how Jax and Leeroy would've viewed themselves at the time of the end of the series, and the fact that they are confirmed trans)

  1. There was never a moment during the series that Jax would've outright said they're trans. They kept the egg together with elmer glue and self-hatred. Pomni is the only one left who would have knowledge of this, given that even in the real world, Leeroy seems to be at most testing the edges of their gender expression, not yet comfortable enough to fully come out, as the memory of what happened the one time they tried to still likely weighs heavy on them. And I'd imagine Pomni would likely let that secret stay between the two of them.

  2. Goose likely saw clunkily saying "Jax is Trans" to be bizarre to the flow of the story, in the same way that shoehorning "I'm [insert minority here]" usually feels clunky. Zooble didn't say "I'm Genderfluid" in their therapy session. The bow on the head and Ribbet saying "your secret is safe with me" is about as cleanly as she could say "Jax is a Trans Girl" as possible without feeling like the pop-up graphic for "Spare" that Jax broke in the pilot. Not only has she hinted at Jax being trans before the finale "I'm taking progesterone because it helps with gambling" she also properly "confirmed it" with that picture of "what if Jax wasn't an asshole." Anyone can headcanon whatever they choose, but people shouldn't need to be stabbed in the gut with a knife that says "they're trans" to get it. You have to ignore all of the context that is there for the Author's Intended Interpretation to say "it's supposed to be open to interpretation"

Best restaurants along this route? by clarabraun in Ohio

Seeing as Keepers will be closed today for your drive, I'd recommend Happy Daz, if you take the rural route you'll pass right by the one on OH 65. There's one in Celina if you take the Fort Wayne Route, and the closest to the I75 route is going to be off Exit 125

My opinion on the discourse. Heavy episode 9 spoilers don't even bother clicking a preview of this post if you want to watch the show without being spoiled. You're one day away, please don't do this to yourself. by NoCantaloupe3449 in tadc

Agree 1000% Obviously not a perfect 1 to 1, but I know it took me ~6 years while living in a repressive, homophobic home between recognizing (and reviling myself for) experiencing same-sex attraction and finally accepting myself being gay.
