[div style="0px; width:400px; height:auto; text-align: justify; font-size: 9pt; line-height:13px;"]jacqui collins — you can paint me any color and i can be your clown, but you ain't got my number. yeah, you can't pin me down.
— jacqui marie collins was born on the ninth of april in 1999 to ivelisse and manolito acosta in queens, new york. her father was a preacher at a small catholic church a few doors town from their apartment while her mother was a stay-at-home mom. jacqui was one of two boys, including her brother mateo, up until she was seven, when she decided that she would start her transition.
— her parents found out about her when her mother caught her playing around in her makeup when she was ten. they didn't put her out on the streets, though — as it would look bad on them if they put their child out on the streets for everyone to see — so instead they put her in foster care and told everyone she died while visiting her grandparents in puerto rico. jacqui bounced from home to home for about two years, and ended up with amanda collins, a thirty year old who worked for the city of newark.
— it was amanda who helped her transition, as she's the one who got jacqui on hrt and plans on helping her pay for her reassignment surgery. jacqui still vividly remembers sitting with amanda on their living room floor, looking through baby books so she could find a name that really felt like hers.
— she and amanda moved to newark the summer before jacqui's freshman year. jacqui went to a pretty liberal school, so she didn't have to worry that much about being trans. this is when she got into marina and the diamonds, and for the longest time she wanted to go bleach blonde because marina was a bleach blonde. amanda talked her out of it, thankfully, but now that jacqui's out the house, she's still thinking about it.
— she goes to smith college in massachusetts, which means she's had to deal with her fair share of terfs telling her she shouldn't have gotten in because she's just a dude in drag and other dumb shit like that. she tries not to give much of a shit, but the shit's starting to get to her. for now, though, she's just focusing on getting her sociology degree and getting the fuck outta college.
— her graduation gift from her friend ayanna was a rosy boa (not linking bc snake tw) that jacqui named marina after the queen herself. marina's in 70% of jacqui's ig posts, with most of those being edgy aesthetic photoshoots that probably end up getting used as tumblr icons.
— she's better than all of us and i really wanna flesh her out through oneshots and shit so that's what i'ma do
