I think Lup is so revolutionary in media culture in large part because of Barry. like. Yes, She’s a Trans Woman and That Alone is super cool but!! She is loved by Barry, a presumably Cisgender Straight Man, who literally does not give a shit that shes trans. It’s pretty rare to see cis/trans couples where one partner being trans isn’t the “"problem”“ or ”“conflict”“. He just loves her for her and that’s so good!!!

Generally trans representation in media is mediocre at best and the McElroys (particularly Griffin) Know That. So the fact that he did his best to portray a trans woman while giving her So Much Else to her character is *chef kiss* but!

Trans love is Especially bad in media. So having Lup and Barry fall in love so deeply and naturally was so important but even moreso when you remember barry is literally titled ”The Lover“.

Barry was created to love and he loved Lup. The implications of that, that not only are trans people worthy of love but are worthy of Real, Deep, Sincere, Honest Love, of the purest form of love imaginable, is so, so important. It’s not something I’ve ever seen in trans media before. It can be really easy to forget that despite being trans, I too am worthy of that kind of love.

So thanks, Griffin, for reminding me.

 He punches you into next week.

You find yourself going about your business a week later. Looks like you’re doing a little grocery shopping.

You’re a bit confused, having no memory of the previous week. You have no idea what is on your grocery list. Are you out of milk?? What kind of produce do you need to stock up on??? It is all a little overwhelming.

AMAZING

a concept

Steve Rogers, who has recently woken up in the twenty-first century, googles “advice for the modern era” and accidentally discovers My Brother, My Brother and Me.

“We asked you to send in questions related to World War II and Superheroes, because this week our special guestspert is… Captain America??? How did we get Captain America on the show???”

“Please, call me Steve.”

“I legally don’t think I can do that, sorry.”

G: Rogers, can I call you Rogers, Rogers? 

S: …Do you want to?

G: –NO!!! Fuck. Oh shit, I said fuck in front of Mister Captain Rogers, FUCK

S: Oh, can we swear on the radio now? Thank Christ, it’s about fucking time. 

J: we’re….*gurgling* we’re not on the radio, exactly

T: Captain Mister Rogers Captain Sir could you say bad words again so I could keep it as my ringtone? 

S: Sure thing, pal. *pause as he leans in real close to the mic* …Shit. 

G: *audibly clutching his entire face* Oh My God We’ve Corrupted Captain America

S: I know of a few people who might say they had a hand in it too

G: Sam The Eagle Is Going To Fly Down And Strangle Us With an American Flag

T: Isn’t Sam the Eagle a muppet? 

S: I know that reference! Little known fact, ‘Sam the Eagle’ is what we call the Falcon when he’s grumpy.

G: *audibly falls off his chair*
