Trans Megathread for the week of September 16th to 23rd, 2024/Unjust Depths unofficial promotion
Remember to follow the Traaa com rules or else you are liable for any action that mods deem necessary
IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists , Zionists (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) in Bosporus, and the monarchs of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human , Shimmi (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light.
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists
All serve the Union
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)
As a reminder, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
Am I gonna be secretly smoldering because you never do the dishes or your day for the cat litter boxes, am I gonna be secretly turning off the furnace so I don't get overheated (WHO TURNS THE HEAT ON IN A HEATWAVE, ITS 40Β° OUT), am I gonna get weirded out by you insisting that we all need to eat together every night, am I gonna have to ask you to please keep the fucking noises down I have to work a night shift please don't be so loud for once
Or, maybe, you would all be cool and it would be ME who was the problem π±
Lol i do my dishes unless someone else has filled the sink with dirty ones, then I just put some water in them and set them to the side, cause Im not gonna clean up after someone else makes a giant mess (my housemates are terrible at this, they just, ugh, i love have dishes overflowing out of the sink because multiple people made individual giant dinners and none of them cleaned up after themselves for 3 fucking days (im not sour about this at all ))
You may get pissed because i want the home as cool as possible... So i run the ac even when its maybe not needed (10Β° is when it is officially chilly. 10Β°-15Β° is cool. Anything above 15 is warmish and bad. But im also a giant hypocrite and wear sweaters. I just like to be warm and cold at the same time i guess).
I wont clean cat boxes if they arent my cats and we havent discussed it. Or feed them unless theyre missing meals. Im fine with the labour but i need people to fucking talk to me about it. Dont text me an hour after their mealtime asking me to feed them every day, ask me before you leave if I can feed them this coming week (i had to explain this recently...). Ill almost certainly say yes, but im not gonna be on call for someone elses pets. Ditto on the cat boxes (but less of an issue cause its less often). (Of course emergencies are a different thing)
I wont insist on eating together, but i will insist we use plastic or wood because metal on ceramic is like an ice pick in my soul; when the cops find the bodies and arrest me, tell them it was justified.
I wont be overly loud, but I will watch my stories to fall asleep to, and theyll stay on until like 2am, so idk if the walls are super thin we might need to have a convo.
I also might knit you hats and knicknacks and maybe a bag, cause its fun ^^
You may get angry about the bathroom though, i have lots of stuff and no organizational skills... But I clean the toilet and shower and sink regularly so idk.
No I love the cold. A fellow cold lover would be welcome
The cat box schedule is convenient so we're only doing litter boxes half as often but the kitties get a clean box every day (or every other day, whatever) and they'll be better about pissing in places they shouldn't. Also if you're not bringing cats, of course you're not expected to do their boxes~
