the jonah magnus trans hc that was popular back in 2020 really was so genius. i love to see jonah’s crawl towards immortality through a trans lens because on top of the ambition and the “to place yourself beyond pain and death and fear” of it all it’s just an interesting bargain to make with the beholding…being able to bodyhop (and probably to an extent align people’s perceptions of him as a Man) but at the same time feeding the beholding with his own fear of being outed (and the resulting social repercussion)(especially for someone who has to leverage his authority and power to stay alive because he doesn’t have horror murder superpowers like the other avatars)…the beholding in general has some fun implications for gender anyways it’s all about perception and performance after all innit. why not trans jonah
