So… where is the slice-of-life anime about an ever expanding group of poly trans witchy femmes & enbies that we deserve?
Because IME, living in that sort of polycule sure *feels* like a real life anime… 
@Qwyrdo I wonder if we could actually make this happen? Probably as a manga, at least to start with.
A community effort. Since I know a lot of folks who would be great at various aspects of creating a manga一story writing, character development, world building, arts, music…
And I think there is a ready made audience. Just look at the trans femme community. A thirst exists.
Something something Patreon or Kickstarter?
Hmmmmm… 🤔
@Qwyrdo Personally, I'd like to see this focused around people a bit older than the standard issue teen girl manga. Main characters in their 20s & 30s. But also featuring a few teens & folks in their 40s-70s.
We older folks get left out of media far too often, IMO. But it's important to show, in a normalised fashion, that trans women and enbies have been around for generations.
@Qwyrdo BTW thanks to *everyone* boosting and liking this thread!
It really validates my intuition that this sort of project isn't just wanted; it's *needed*.
Just like Steven Universe was needed for its Queer & poly representation.
@Qwyrdo and now we need it to go away and something better to come along ;3
*runs away*
@Qwyrdo Good to know I’m not the only one with a polycule like that
@packetcharmer It's pretty common in the social circles I frequent! 
@Qwyrdo @packetcharmer "you mean ALL your friends aren't trans and NB otherkin witches, what's wrong with you"
@Qwyrdo @packetcharmer oh true, still it's impressive what proportion of my friends are at least curious about such things
@Qwyrdo @demonkind yeah but damn aren't the tropes a delight
@demonkind Honestly I think there's value in both?
I mean, I for one will keep being me, and keep sharing my ups and downs and in-betweens So I'm representing one aspect of nonbinary trans witchy personhood, no matter what.
At the same time, I'm only one person. And there's a *lot* of people, modes of being, etc. adjacent to me, who are sorely underrepresented in current media.
It's the old "by us, for us" thing. A project that could not only empower its creators, but the audience for which it's intended. Hopefully reaching folks who didn't even know there are others like them in the world
@Qwyrdo I know....
like...I'm suddenly reminded of something that @KaylinEvergreen told me last night, that Gen Urobuchi said that "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is basically "the magical girl anime I wish I could have seen growing up"
and "Madoka" is very, very good, but it's still a magical girl anime with magical girl anime limitations
where is MY magical girl show!
