Hello! I’m Cory, I’m trans and gay, and I’m a huge monster/alien/robotfucker. I like drawing my ocs with canon characters because I live to be self indulgent. Ask me about them if you want!

Colored this grim reaper character I had in my mind for a while. Named him Dracul (which was actually a name from one of my old ocs but I don't use him anymore so..yeah)

I don't really have a personality for him yet but he loves cats haha

my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in

…i did read some of the novels, but i couldn’t get through them entirely…

…and so i genuinely have no idea whether or not this is serious. coz i mean, obviously, it could be a joke. but it could also have legitimately happened. people who have only seen the films underestimate the amount of random things that happen in the books that could come off as utterly silly and ridiculous if removed from their context.

Haha, well, it is pretty much what happens. Sam is looking for Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol and is despairing that he will ever find him. He sits down and does what any self-respecting Tolkien character does during their moments of hopelessness and bursts into song.

It’s a really good song (ten year old Ship had it memorized) and as he begins the refrain a second time, he hears Frodo’s voice answering weakly from above. Frodo is poisoned and despairing and beaten but he is still a Hobbit and cannot resist a singalong even while on the brink of death.

These two pictures are of a peahen (top photo from April 2019, and bird on the left in the bottom is the same bird in November 2019) that is currently going through a transformation from traditional hen plumage to cock plumage- which I suppose makes him a peacock now! The bird is 17 years old and while this sort of transformation is not unheard of (called “henopause” because it usually happens to older hens), it’s not usually such a stark difference. This bird went all out though!

Here is an 18 year old pea that began life as a hen, but stopped laying at 14 years old and grew in male plumage!

And a blackshoulder peahen:

Who 14 years later decided nah, and swapped to male blackshoulder colors; QUITE the difference!

And a video from a very confused man who has had this happen 5 times on his farm so far:

Peacocks said trans rights!

Another transitioning bird was posted to the group I’m in not long ago!

Another bird, this one only 2 years old, was posted yesterday. The owner had this bird genetically tested after she noticed a lack of displaying among other typical “peacock” behavior. The result came back as a hen, which means most likely this bird’s working ovary (birds only develop one, the left one) has been compromised or failed to develop normally, resulting in male plumage at a very young age.

Because this transition only occurs when the hen’s working ovary (they only have 1, the left one) stops working (or fails to start), thus ceasing production of the hormones which suppress male plumage, they are not fertile. They also do not change sex organs, just their plumage.

It’s Pride again, so please enjoy my collection of trans peafowl!

There have been several people in the notes expressing that these are intersex peafowl and while I certainly won’t take that away from anyone (welcome, enjoy!), I feel that you should all know that there are regular intersex peafowl as well.

These peafowl grow in and retain sex characteristics of both hens and cocks, for their entire lives. They do not lay eggs or court, the way the other sexes do. Unlike a hen in henopause, they do not transition into or out of this state- they are born to it and remain in it their entire lives.

In reality, gender isn’t really a thing for peafowl (or birds in general) at all and sex is pretty much a grey area. We assign them sexes (yes, sexes, I’m getting there) based on human concepts of it, but they don’t even have x and y sex chromosomes. They have Z and w, and it’s flipped from how humans are; the bird with the 2-same chromosomes is a male (ZZ) and the bird with one of each is a female (Zw) and we only assigned the sexes like we did because the hens lay eggs. Don’t even get me started on the bird species that aren’t peafowl that have more than 2 sexes. But they have no concept of gender or sex. If they did, maybe they would argue their males are the ones that lay the eggs. There’s no way to know; they are just animals we’re projecting human concepts on. Biological sex really does fall apart if you look at it sideways, and gender was a mistake.

In any case, at least in one sense, the initial birds in this post are maybe not transgender, exactly, but they have made a transition from one state to another that heavily involves looking like a standard female and then looking like a standard male, and some people have found comfort and joy in relating to that. That end state is not really one sex or another, if you look under the hood so to speak, and hopefully other people will find joy and comfort in that as well. Yet other Peafowl have not ever transitioned and yet have the characteristics of multiple sexes their entire lives the same way, and I hope that this extra knowledge can bring joy and comfort to even more people.

That’s all this is about.

…………does DRACULA know lucy's getting all these blood transfusions

like can he taste the difference in people's blood and he's just "oh sweet the Westenra buffet's still open. nom nom…" *pause* *steps back* "ma'am why do you taste like a goddamn lord sleep-deprived doctor dutchman?"

does he not have any way of knowing the difference but he can kinda guess because hot damn she has. notably more blood than he left her with, somebody must've topped her up (probably those assholes who lurk around her house and do annoying shit like "close the windows" and "rub garlic all over everything" but hey at least they're keeping the food stocked up.)

or is he just like "…is this girl basically bottomless soup and salad? should she not be dead by now??"
