TAZ Trans Week

@taztransweek / taztransweek.tumblr.com

A week to celebrate trans characters & headcanons in The Adventure Zone!
Nov. 19–25, 2017

Trade with @marzipan-s ! He wanted a beefy Magnus with a small chubby Taako! I hope you like them

[image description: a drawing of Magnus and Taako in front of a blue background. Magnus is a chubby, muscular man with brown skin, curly auburn hair pulled back into a ponytail, and a short curly beard. He’s wearing a pink and purple atheltic jacket and matching pants. The jacket is unzipped to show his bare chest, where there are two scars from top surgery. He’s flexing and grinning at the viewer. Taako is a chubby, dark-complexioned elf with large, long ears, freckles, and asymmetrical curly white hair. He’s wearing purple-tinted glasses, a wide-rimmed black hat with a rounded top and a galaxy pattern lining and a black button-down long-sleeve shirt with a galaxy-patterened collar that continues down half the shirt. He’s smiling at the viewer.]

why i think davenport is trans

So if my url didn’t make it obvious, Davenport being trans is really important to me. I see so much of myself as a transgender person (and even more specifically as a transgender man) in Davenport that I have a hard time explaining it all. But I’m gonna fuckin try.

In the most obvious way, Davenport is a short man with a high-pitched voice whose masculinity is never challenged or mocked or undermined.

In Davenport, I saw someone who built a specific image for himself. An image carefully constructed so that he would be taken seriously, so that he would be respected. As soon as Griffin talked about his high walls, I knew exactly what he was talking about. Because I’ve had to do it. Trans men are infantilized, invalidated, talked down to. So lots of us put up walls in the hopes that we’ll be taken seriously.

That image, through someone else’s mistake, is torn down around him. A competent captain reduced to a fool and a servant, his reputation dragged through the dirt and forgotten. When he dropped the silver tray, all I could think of is the times I’ve been publicly misgendered or outed. The moment when I realized that everyone’s perception of me has irreversibly changed in the worst way. That isn’t a feeling I’ve really seen in media before. The shame and helplessness and dread and wrath.

I can’t tell if I’m projecting those feelings, but I felt them all so clearly that I just started crying.

By then I was hooked. So I kept looking deeper.

[image description: a sketch of Lup and Taako. They’re fat twin elves, standing next to each other and wearing matching trans pride flag shirts. Lup is casting a small flame out of a peace sign she’s holding up, and Taako is smiling with his hands behind his back.]
