It's the adventures of Discord and the possibly obscure fandom reference!

what are your thoughts on transfem big mac and transmasc fluttershy?

i personally subscribe to a belief in transfem fluttershy. partly because i’m transfem and she’s my favorite. however, i support all queer headcanons period. even contradictory ones

the episode where big mac goes to the sister thing with apple bloom made me extremely uncomfortable. i felt like it was a gross example of media tropes that sexualize and vilify trans women. invading women’s sports, a man is shown as foolish for pursuing him, it’s shown as being transparent and just a disguise, all this among other things. however, i have since changed my mind after seeing fan reactions. i’m happy with this headcanon, and i acknowledge that other women maybe found something in that episode that i didn’t see

heart and hooves day episode if they weren't COWARDS

Okay, hear me out....

A caretaker with an extremely conditioned whumpee.

Caretaker is forced to "speak their language" to get through to whumpee. Caretaker has to start acting like Whumper to slowly undo the conditioning.

They have to start harsh and strict to slowly teach Whumpee what freedom is, or reintroduce them into their own agency.

Maybe Whumpee was a slave or a pet, and all they know are orders and discipline and reward. Before Caretaker figures this out, Whumpee is listless or catatonic, or maybe self-destructive and reckless. Without order and routine, Whumpee has no idea how to function, their mind is sent into chaos.

Caretaker has no interest in being a master, but to get through the conditioning, to even get them medical help, they are forced to get their hands dirty.... Orders are just necessary- "you're going to the hospital, that's an order" or "I order you to decide on what you want for dinner."

Caretaker never wanted this power and responsibility over another person.

With power, there is also the risk of corruption.

Maybe Caretaker is terrified about walking the fine line between helping their severely damaged and twisted whumpee and becoming the new whumper.

Maybe they get it right, maybe they get it wrong, maybe it's something in between, there's so many directions this could go and all of the threads are so interesting.
