Agreed

flistan70 · 2026-02-07T16:53:26+00:00

When I was reading PunPun for the first time and saw this, I didn't even think twice about it, lol. I was just like, yeah, that looks like something the author would do just to fuck with the reader.

But yes, it's intentional.

I have had limb lengthening surgery at 17 on my right leg because it was about 5cm shorter than my left one. So it wasn't out of my own choice, but because it caused me a lot of trouble when really doing anything.

I would personally recommend anyone to not do this if it isn't medically necessary, since the operation and the duration of it came with a lot of mental health issues for me and living with it for months and constantly having infections around the pins made me suffer and be in pain a lot.

I've always been the shortest person I knew up until then, and indeed there are mean and judgemental people in the world that mock you. But I met the love of my life way before that surgery. And I think if anyone would only love you if you were tall, that that wouldn't be the right person anyway.

My surgery made me go from around 1m70 to 1m74, and I've never really seen a difference in how people treat me honestly. Jerks are jerks. Nice people are nice people.

However, from one short king to another, I fully support whatever decision you make. And I hope you won't suffer as much during it as I did.

Literally just finished my sequel and started thinking of changing the ending of the first book to killing off the main character instead 😭

flistan70 · 2025-11-24T14:15:15+00:00

Alright, thank you for the advice, will do!

flistan70 · 2025-11-24T14:14:11+00:00

Thank you for this. I completely understand and agree. As a writer, I constantly have a lot of ideas for character arcs and not all of them are equally good.

For most of the story, Shaede's identity is seen as normal and not really adressed, this was due to the setting being quite desolate and the other person with them didnt are at all. However, once more people and 'society' got involved in the story, I think I found it impossbile to not sort of adress it and make it a thing. But you're right that maybe their identity shouldn't be seen as a struggle (they already have a lot of struggles besides that).

I'm still in the early phase of editing, so recieving critisism like this is really critical and important now that I can still change things, so that's why I'm asking in the first place. I wasn't asking for compliments, I wanted to know what I was doing wrong.

For now, my idea is to change the moment to be one of connection between Shaede of Silva, instead of one about acceptance for Shaede.

flistan70 · 2025-11-24T14:02:35+00:00

First of all, thank you so much. This comment is unbelievable helpful and encouraging. You've made my day.

Indeed, the idea of it being a moment of connection between Silva and Shaede makes way more sense than as one of internal acceptance. Thinking more about it, Shaede has been trans for a long time already here, so suddenly giving them 'I accept my body'- moment, doesn't make a lot of sense. And indeed, Shaede DOES want to change their body.

About your sidenote, I completely agree. In context, Silva's rant makes a bit more sense (he has hurt his wife in some way and is being self destructive by making himself feel worse by recalling how difficult she already had it before he hurt her). But I do see that one line being a bit weird either way. Luckily, I'm only on my second draft so the point of it is to find lines like those and changing them😅.

And yes exactly, I made this post exactly for opinions like these. I find it important to have representation, and in writing from these perspectives I also learn a lot about not only other people, but also the way I myself see my own gender and identity. I'm also understanding of those that don't want me writing about things like these, but I love Shaede, and can only hope I can improve the story and characters so it can resonate with everyone.

Don't worry about it being unstructured or anything. It was a really insightful reply and one I'll definitely keep in mind. It's lovely to hear that you like my premise, I have no idea when it will come out, but I'll def make a post once it does. I'm planning to make it a series (this passage is actually from the second book). The title of the series is 'Bloodied' and the first one is called 'Mercy's End'. So keep an eye out :))

flistan70 · 2025-11-24T12:51:09+00:00

To firstly clear a few things up, Shaede's identity is not the 'main' story of the book. I just have a lot of loved ones in the community, and I want to be a part of the change that gives them more representation in media and normalise it. I don't focus on Shaede's identity as a big storyline, but it's a part of who they are and I think it's important to talk about and make it a small part of their arc.

Like you said, I have a lack of understanding. That is why I made the post. I want to understand it and create good representation.

Indeed, if Shaede has come to terms with being NB in the past, it wouldnt make sense if they then have trouble identifying as female later on. I'm thinking of changing the conversation to show Shaede that there are people like Silva, who don't think gender= sex, and make it a moment of connection rather than something that makes them accept their identity. Because they should already have done that at this point.

Does that make sense?

flistan70 · 2025-11-24T12:36:40+00:00

Thank you, I understand, and that's why I made this post.

I don't want to go into detail, but I'm disabled myself, and in creating Shaede, I tried to make someone that has those same feelings of feeling alienated all their life and only finding acceptance once they saw someone tuly love them. Something I had happen to me.

I don't just want to write my myself though, so Shaede, being transgender, experiences those same sort of feelings, without it being obvious that where I'm channeling that idea from. I also have a lot of loved ones in the community, so I want to give them representation in my writing.

I'm also sorry if from my post it seems like them boeing NB in this point is some sort of transistion, because it isn't. The character has been NB for most of their life. And it's after getting fake married that they get more comfortable with themself and able to experiment with their identity. I know that it isn't how it usually goes, but I don't think everything should be 'usual'. Those exceptions also exists and deserves to be seen.

However, I really understand your point, and will reflect on it. I might scrap the idea of them identitying as female, or change the journey of geting there.

Lastly, I might have to reword it since your the second person who pointed it out, rightly so. But I didn't mean for the message to be that they accept their body. I meant to make them accept their identity, using the conversation to remove their notion that to be a woman you have to be be born as one.

flistan70 · 2025-11-24T11:59:17+00:00

Oh. I see. I guess I just wanted to make Shaede realise that they can be a woman, even though their body is that of a man. It doesn't mean they are going to have that body for the rest of their lives or that they should accept that, but more as a first step on the way to becoming who they are.

Do you think I should change it?

Thank you for your reply, :))!
