Q: "Hey, Mod! What's your favorite trans+ headcanon?"
thanks for asking! in my beautiful mind palace, Baxter is the most annoying, cynical, full-of-himself trans man to exist and he has a massive superiority complex over the fact that he lived stealth in the early 20th century without ever being found out, and anyone who tries to tell me he's cis is either lying or mistaken. :D

Q: "What about intersex headcanons? Are those allowed?"
as a person who is trans and nonbinary but not intersex, it’s not my place to make rules about intersex characters/stories/headcanons. at any rate, I'm not going to be going through and determining if your headcanons are "trans enough" to qualify in this event and this includes litigating fiction that features intersex people and their experiences. I recommend using your best judgement on this.

Q: "Why is dark/"dead dove" content allowed?"
similarly to the NSFW answer, for many trans+ people, unpleasant experiences are things that happen to them and may be something that they want to explore in a safe, fictional space. you are not required to deal with these topics, nor are you required to look at the works that do contain them, but they are a part of many trans people's lives and they have a place here.

Q: "Why is NSFW allowed?"
for many trans+ people, sex and kink are natural and happy parts of life. to ban those things from an event that I'm running with the express purpose of creating more works featuring trans lives and trans bodies and trans experiences would feel disingenuous. you are not required to create things that feature NSFW scenarios, but they are unequivocally welcome in this event.

Q: "Can I participate in this event if I'm not trans+?"
I am not interested in forcing people to out themselves or disclose their gender identity to me in order to participate in a fandom prompt week. while I encourage cisgender people to tread carefully, I'm not going to be cross-checking participants' gender identities.

Q: "Do I need a "reason" to headcanon a character as trans+?"
the only "reason" you need is a desire for them to be trans+. that's it! you don't have to write an essay on why you think they're trans+ (though you're welcome to if you'd like) and this event strictly prohibits making people feel bad for their headcanons. "they're trans+ because I want them to be" is as much explanation as anyone should ever need.

Q: "Does a character have to be canonically trans+ to be included in this event?"
nope! there's only one explicitly, canonically trans character in the Hellaverse right now, anyway, and if I wanted to run a Sallie May event, I would have done that instead. :P any character of any canonical gender is welcome in this event.

Q: "What do you mean when you say trans+?"
transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, demigender, the list goes on! there's a lot of identities that fall under the trans umbrella and typing trans+ is a lot easier (and conserves character spaces a lot better) than listing them all out. mostly, I just don't want people to think that this event is limited to binary trans people who start as one gender and then transition entirely to another. those interpretations are welcome but others are also encouraged!

hello everyone, and happy September! with the seasons changing and the last chunk of 2026 fully upon us, I'm so happy to announce the rules for #HellaTransWeek! have a question? maybe it's answered in the replies with our FAQ!

[ #HazbinHotel #HelluvaBoss #HellaverseEvents #Hellaverse ]
- This is an 18+ event. - NSFW and SFW works are both allowed. NSFW works must be labeled and tagged properly. - No bigotry or hate directed at other participants or at their works. This includes transphobia, obviously, but also homophobia, racism, misogyny, and all of the other disgusting attitudes meant to make people feel bad for being who they are. - Works must focus wholly or in part on a character or characters who are, in the context of the work, some flavor of trans+. - Fic, art, meta — all of this and more is welcome! Whatever kind of fanworks you create, they're welcome and at home in this event. However, no works created using generative AI will be permitted. - You are free to interpret the prompts in any way you'd like! Play them straight, make 'em weird, flip them on their heads — creativity is encouraged. - You are welcome to create solo, gen, and/or ship works! There are no limitations on which ships are allowed and rarepairs are enthusiastically encouraged right alongside your trans+ headcanons. - Curate your experience! There is no one singular "Trans Experience", and what is comfortable and affirming for one person might be squicky and dysphoria-inducing for another. This does not mean that either person is in the wrong. Instead, mute tags, block posts you don't like, and step away if it ever gets to be too much. There's no shame in deciding what you, personally, do and don't want to see. - Works that include the "bad"/painful/traumatizing parts of being trans+ are allowed. This includes works that contain transphobia and other gender-based discrimination. Curate your experience, label your works, warn for sensitive topics, and block the things that make you uncomfortable. (@HellaTransWeek / #HellaTransWeek)

hey! are you a fan of #HazbinHotel? or #HelluvaBoss? do you have a trans fave, or some trans headcanons for your faves? how does it sound to have a week dedicated entirely to works focusing on trans (and nonbinary, and genderqueer, and...) characters? like/share to spread the word!
