Happypride2026
As a way to celebrate pride month this year, I would like to post some of my hcs. I like to draw characters who may or may not be canonically queer and make them queer.
Trans FTM Gangle: When I was watching TADC for the first time, I honestly thought Gangle was a boy. If the characters hadn't called her by "she/her" pronouns, I would have thought she was a boy. That is why I made him transgender. It just feels right in my head for some reason.
Gay Gangle: I'm not sure what sexuality would be best for Gangle but I decided to make him gay. I think he would have secretly loved Jax if he was a bit nicer to him.
Gay Jax: I think Jax knows that Gangle is trans and he likes him but he's got internalized homophobia and hates himself for that. I think instead of accepting himself, he takes it out on Gangle. He's got the mindset of "if you pretend to hate someone long enough, you'll gaslight yourself to think it's true." But in the end, he only ends up falling harder for Gangle.
Thangyu: Obviously I had to include Thangyu because what's pride month without them? Thanos is bisexual with no preference because he likes men and women equally and Namgyu is 100% gay. You can't tell me that he likes women, not even the slightest bit. He clinged onto Thanos like he's his number one fan girl, he looked jealous when Thanos spoke to Semi (which is why I headcanon that he killed her in lights out) he slept in his bed after he died, he absolutely did care about Thanos... even if he didn't want to admit it.

In celebrating Pride 2026, embracing diverse identities within fandoms offers a meaningful way to honor LGBTQ+ experiences. From creating trans FTM and gay versions of characters like Gangle and Jax to exploring bisexuality with Thanos, fanart and headcanons reflect a personal and inclusive approach to storytelling. When I first engaged with characters who aren’t explicitly queer in their original narratives, it felt empowering to envision them through a queer lens. For instance, reimagining Gangle as a trans gay character helped highlight the nuances of gender identity and sexual orientation, making the character’s journey feel richer and more authentic. Many LGBTQ+ fans find that creating such headcanons provides a space for self-expression and visibility. The dynamics between characters also deepen when exploring internalized homophobia or unspoken feelings, such as with Jax’s conflicted emotions towards Gangle. This adds layers to character development, reflecting real-life struggles many experience in coming to terms with their identities. Including characters like Thanos and Namgyu broadens the spectrum further. Portraying Thanos as bisexual and Namgyu as gay underscores the importance of diverse representation that includes different sexual orientations, affirming that attraction can be fluid and complex. Sharing these interpretations during Pride month not only celebrates LGBTQ+ identities but fosters a supportive community where fans can discuss, create, and connect over shared experiences. It’s a reminder that everyone deserves to see themselves reflected in the media they love. For artists and writers who wish to contribute, engaging with fandom through queer headcanons can be a rewarding journey of empathy and creativity. Whether through drawings, stories, or discussions, these contributions make a powerful statement about inclusion and pride in one’s identity.
