If you ask the neighbors which one of them is the funniest, most would say its Barnaby.
If you asked Barnaby who's the funniest neighbor? He'd say its Frank XD

That's it. I've hit my peak.
Over the years I've been asked by several bio family members what happened to "make" me "choose" being trans. This has always pissed me off because I didn't know what they wanted me to answer with. There was no one thing that "did it". It was years of abuse, neglect, and bullying from my own family that conditioned the many traits that now make up who I am. After one afternoon with my therapist I realized the start of my conditioning began when my father told me he was disappointed at my birth when I was a girl because he had hoped for a boy. Unfortunately for him my bio mom's three prior pregnancies, only one viable, were all girls, meaning there was almost a zero chance that I could have ever been a male at birth. But from that moment on I began to change myself to be as good of a kid as I could he wouldn't care that I was a girl. But then he began to shoot me down left and right, saying I wasn't built for it, saying I wasn't going to ever be able to do it. That coupled with the things my bio mom and her mom would tell me daily, I had no chance.
Being a trans man isn't something that can happen overnight. From my experience it can take years or even lifetimes to understand what it is. When I learned about transgender people in my sophomore health class, a lot of the things I had been feeling for my whole life finally made sense. I also often found myself asking anyone I could to learn all that was available to me to understand who I am and what i am.
It's not rocket science and I wish the ignorant among the population would get that into their heads. They just need to ask politely like @doberbutts. The only thing that pisses me off more than the ignorant being rude is when I explain it to them and then they refuse to believe me. When I told my father that he was the catalyst he spent the next hour trying to gaslight me into believing he wasn't. This is the same man who doesn't use my preferred name, preferred pronouns, and still calls me his daughter when introducing me to strangers.
I hope this answers some of your requests dober.
❗️❗️ This is asked entirely in good faith. This post is intended to open dialogue and help with solidarity and understanding. ❗️❗️
I would like to hear specifically from trans men and trans mascs how the system of [whatever the fuck you call the intersection of transphobia, misogyny, and specifically your gender- whether transandrophobia, isomisogny, antitransmasculinity, transandromisia, transmisandry, or any that I have missed as there are a lot of words to describe similar concepts] uniquely targets and affects you. Things that you feel other demographics do not experience. Reblogs and replies are very encouraged! If you would prefer, you could dm or send an ask to be added anonymously by me.
This is in the spirit of wanting to understand. I am listening. I encourage all non-trans-mascs to not speak on this topic and let trans mascs and trans men do the talking here. Reblog the post to spread it, but please say nothing.
Any and all people who identify as trans men and/or trans mascs are encouraged to participate.
This is not bait to start a fight. I will block without hesitation anyone who is actively being a shithead on this post. I want to hear and uplift your voices by getting it directly from you.

Hazbin Hotel Theory
Recently I've been trying to figure out why some characters have two black scleras, and why some only have one.
Hazbin Hotel spoilers below
Examples of one black sclera
Examples of two black sclera
My first theory is that it may have to do with their souls being sold. One black sclera means that their soul IS sold, but there are conditions in the contract in which the person may still have some sort of freedom. Like Angel Dust. His contract dictates that Valentino can do whatever he wants with Angel inside of the studio, meaning outside of it Angel is free to do whatever HE wants. This is why in Episode 6 he's able to talk back to Valentino and not get killed.
This then would mean that two black sclera means that the sold soul is under complete control from the buyer, giving the reason as to Husker's small monologue in Episode 1 about Alastor forcing him to be at the hotel, despite Alastor calling it a "favor" in the pilot.
But there's a problem with this theory. If Husk sold his soul to Alastor, then how come in this flashback in Episode 4 he's got both black sclera?
Maybe it signifies something else. Like exposure to soul contracts.
This leads to my second theory. As we see from Alastor on multiple occasions, he does in fact, have two black sclera when he's using a lot of his power. What if the black sclera comes from the purchase of a soul? Then that explains Husk's scleras as an overlord and why Angel and the little lizard boy at Voxtech only have one. They sold their souls for something. Angel's reason likely being fame, having been in the gutter more than once, as he mentions to Cherry in Episode 6 while being protective of Niffty.
But what about the overlords who own souls and don't have black eyes?
Well, it's very possible that these overlords came into the ownership of the souls by different means than purchasing them. Like a pawn shop. The soul is held as collateral until they are paid back. If they're never paid back then they keep the soul and, by proxy, own that person. Or, they could exchange them like a premium currency for goods and services from other overlords. Then the person who did not buy the soul still owns it. Or, these other overlords, like Alastor, hide their black scleras. Perhaps Husk and the few background characters I've shown above, like the mummy lizard lady, use them as some sort of statement, saying "Yeah, I've owned souls. Try me, I dare ya." but only the ones who've meddled with owning souls before really understand.
But what about the people of Canibal town? Their eyes are completely black!
That brings me to my third and final theory! It is also my favorite one.
Perhaps the blackness of their eyes has absolutely nothing to do with buying or selling souls! But instead has to do with how dirty that soul became from sinning in their lives. I've seen theories and headcanons all over the place saying that Angel Dust was part of a Mafia family. With that in mind, his one black sclera could signify that he did one sinful thing that was absolutely awful. Let's say a singular murder. That means all of the sinful acts he's done in his life came after his death and after he arrived in hell. After that arrival, he probably believed his afterlife was hopeless and that he had no reason to be a good person anymore. Many people believe that Alastor was a serial killer during his lifetime so that could constitute for his sclera. The same goes for Husk if he was addicted to gambling and it led him down a road of much worse things. And as we see with many of the background characters, their eyes are all different, so the idea it depends on their life choices really holds up.
That's why I'd also like to bring up Sir Pentious. During his time in hell, his eyes are red with black slits. Then in Heaven, his eyes have what I believe to be the default for everyone in Heaven or Hell. Muted yellow sclera and red or pink iris and pupil. This means, he has, in fact, cleansed his soul by overcoming his pride by confessing to Cherry Bomb and then sacrificing himself for those he cared about.
also, his teeth are cleaner but we aren't talking about that
But that's all I got! Lemme know if ya'll have any tidbits you wanna add and feel free to reblog this with anything you have on these theories or others on the subject.
This was one of my most favorite gifts I've ever gotten.
Not so Christmasy, but still a secret santa gift for @mason-gaylord

Trial 79 has been acquired from Carrier 74.
Carrier 74 self terminated during the labor process by allowing herself to bleed out. Body was disposed of in nearby town for the local authorities to discover and deal with accordingly like prior 73 carriers.
Carrier 75 will be procured at Trial 79's termination.
Formula is required but Nurse Cassidy was unable to feed the asset. Further attempts will be made when it awakes.
Asset failed initial hearing test in the right ear. Further tests will be necessary.
Asset contains thick, fuzz-like dark brown hair with a streak of white. Plausible signs of the Waardenburg syndrome found in prior trials. The assumption must be made the paternal donor was a carrier of this syndrome. This is unfortunate.
Further testing required to assess the damage this asset has from the donors.
