Trans Megathread from May 5th, 2025 to May 11th, 2025
Heya Everyone, new Mega time and for it, I'm gonna advertise a TTRPG system called Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
A sword duel can end in kissing, a witch can gain her power by helping others find love, and an entire campaign can be built around wandering matchmakers flying from system to system.
Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a roleplaying game for telling queer stories with friends. If you love angsty disaster lesbians with swords, you have come to the right place.
In this book, you’ll find:
Flirting, sword-fighting, and zingers in a system designed for both narrative drama and player safety.
An innovative take on the Powered by the Apocalypse family of games.
Nine character types, each focusing on a particular emotional conflict: Beast, Chosen, Devoted, Infamous, Nature Witch, Scoundrel, Seeker, Spooky Witch, and Trickster.
Guidance and support for running the game, including how to make appealing adversaries, set the tone, pace the game, and structure play.
Tools to create your own settings and stories, alongside a dozen pre-written options including the cyberpunk Neon City 2099, steamfunk poets battling oppression as Les Violettes Dangereuses, laser swords and intrigue in the Starcross Galaxy, and more.
World building worksheet for custom scenarios and starting scenario seeds to play with: Best Day of Their Lives, The Constellation Festival, Gal Paladins, and Sword Lesbians of the Three Houses
Variant rules to highlight different identities, emotional connections, and setting elements.
Strategies to adapt any setting where swords cross and hearts race for Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
Here's a link to their website, I did copy everything over directly from it because I put off writing the Mega this week. I was drawing a blank on what I wanted to talk about.
As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

had a conversation the other day that's still weirding me out a little. i was walking back from the shop when this random woman called out to me, "why have you got the side of your head shaved?" i responded, "because i like it that way." and she was like, "well i don't like it."
i'm sorry for not asking you?? next time i change up my hair i'll be sure to consult some random woman on a bench

::: spoiler This week's gay post is really gay.
::: spoiler Have you made sure the volcel cops haven't tailed you?
The bruises she left on my neck and my shoulder are still visible, proving that the things that happened on Saturday weren't just a dream. I wonder if the marks i left when i bit her and when the whip wrapped around her hips are still there, too. And i still get this nice, fuzzy glow when i think of how i looked across the room, checking out the girl my gal pal had just undressed, and she gave me that wonderful backwards glance, that look that said "hey, i really appreciate how you appreciate my ass" when our eyes met. I remember the smell of the coconut oil that got everywhere, i remember the soft, squishy boobs of that nice American girlthing, i remember how those of us who were still awake talked revolution until the sun was high up in the sky after we had formed that big pile of happy lesbians on the sofa. I remember waking up next to my lovely gal pal, how us talking about our crushes suddenly removed all the little insecurities i had built up over the last months. I'm so full of joy and so full of love for all these beautiful, cool as hell people i have in my life now.

So, as an update, I am planning to move in with my beau, but that's be after my current lease/job contract expires at the end of July so we have plenty of time to be completely firm on that and develop our relationship. So, it will not be after just one date (we'd been talking for weeks and had a video date as well anyways). I don't know why I feel the need to justify this, but I do.
I know it's corny, but it's fun being in love.

Why the fuck has noone ever told me how much of a gamechanger hair gel is for curly hair?
I’ve been struggling with keeping my hair under control for more than 15 years. But even though I’ve made quite some progress, I still was never able to prevent them from turning into a frizzy mess sooner than later, which has always made me pretty dysphoric.
But now, a big source of dysphoria gone, just like that. All thanks to a bit of sticky goo.
I feel so pretty now.

Its been about a month since I got my haircut, and now that its grown a little I've realised that rn my hair is exactly what I wanted when I was a little kid. Only took like 20 years but I got it, eventually. Nowadays I like it longer, but it's still nice to be at this length from time to time, and I love my current style regardless. It's cute and a little boyish but in a femme way and I love it.

Well, not really. I wasn’t as lucky as EstraDoll, unfortunately.
Shoving prog up my bum just left me with this warm, fuzzy feeling, which is nice, but not what I was hoping for. Seems like my libido will continue to be shy for a while and then suddenly come at me in full force out of nowhere. But it’s been over two weeks now and I’m kinda missing my hornyness.
Oh, well. Guess I just have to be more patient then.

I’d hoped if I looked in the mirror I would see a girl, but instead I saw a boygirl-thing.
I saw if Harry Potter was a boygirl-thing.
I kind of hate my lower face, I don’t think it’s anything too manish, but there is something off about it and my lips are weird and I don’t know how to rest them and I just feel like an awkward freak.
I don’t want to completely kill myself I guess…I feel like I could potentially look again.
Maybe getting used to myself and learning more about make up and hair will fix things…idk.
I don’t know how to feel right now, I don’t know how confident I am to keep girlmoding or not.
I was expecting to either be blown away and happy or just want to cry and jump out a window…but instead I am just in this weird middle place and idk how to process it.

day 7 of new name choosing.
reached the summit in Celeste (first playthrough, with my name in game set to one of the names i was considering), excited to play more of the game but aooaugh that means its time to decide how I feel about that name, now thats its been on some kind of journey with me. I cant say I'm certain I'll use the name forever but thats perfectly fine, and at a few points in the game realizing "oh yeah, ill have to tell my friends this name" had me sob relieved tears. so I've gone ahead and used the name for the external deadline that inspired this week of intense consideration, and next will tell my friends.
and yeah Celeste definitely joins my small list of really-important-to-me games

::: spoiler More new thoughts
My brain's going through all the fantasies of having a child again. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the reason I have this baby fever now after 5 years of having no interest in kids at all might be because I stopped tutoring a month ago. Like I find teaching kids fulfilling and now that I that I'm not doing it anymore I want my own kid to fill it? Idk. I don't mind having these daydreams of having a little family since I think they're very sweet and cute, I just find it odd how they started so suddenly.
::: spoiler Specifics
I really like the idea of having just one kid to pour all the love towards, but then I think about how I tend to be very busy and worry about them getting lonely, so I think two might be better. Plus if it's two then hypothetical wife and I can each hold onto one while we watch movies as a family so none of us feel left out and everyone's cozy. Maybe twins would be ideal, but obviously that's unlikely so I shouldn't hold out for it.
God and they'd be sooooooooo cute too! I was already an adorable child and I bet they'd be even cuter. Maybe one's got my dark blond and the other is a ginger like my mother. Or maybe they take after hypothetical wife and I can see her hypothetical pretty face in them all the time...
::: spoiler Sad
But I also feel like all of these are kinda superficial and shitty reasons to want kids. I'd probably be a bad parent. I'm too much like my mother. Stubborn, prideful, controlling, I'd probably hurt them in some emotional way. And I don't want to. I don't want to hurt them at all. But how I am right now, it probably would happen. I'm not equipped to have kids at all, so why should I daydream about it so much.
Maybe some day I will be though. But I've still got a long way to go. And for now... The daydreams are nice.

I must've built up a bit of a reputation with the weekend's gay escapades. Now the GF of one of the cuties i played with is in my DMs and we're talking kink preferences and are planning a date. I mean, we always were lowkey into each other, and it was always clear that what she's into requires a kind of soft domming that's kind of my specialty, but nothing beyond a few headpats ever came off it. And then we met in VC yesterday and immediately started hitting it off super hard and i can't help but wonder what her GF told her about me lmao.

I can appreciate nuanced discussions of course but sometimes my brain is I'll give myself some credit tho got through 1/3 of gender troubles at least when I started it. Gonna have to restart it but it'll only make my brain stronger

I played a one shot of thirsty sword lesbians, set in a steampunk setting, and really liked it. I love the "string" system, where you can have something on another player character or npc (knowledge/shared past/ etc.) and use it to "pull their strings". It can be used in a friendly, supportive way too.

My anxiety is through the roof :( I’ve been getting a little bit more in touched with my feelings through therapy but right now I just can’t pinpoint the source of my anxiety at all. I feel completely dissociated and without emotion but there clearly is something because my body is having an extreme stress reaction.

Tbh I have like 0 interest in Thirsty Sword Lesbians, I own it like 4 times over from various bundles but the strongest emotion it elicits in me is just a "neat" that it exists, everything else about it is just, whatever. Compared to other queer PbtA games like Flying Circus being early 20th century airplanes while somehow being crunchy despite being PbtA, TSL just doesn't really have anything beyond the queerness and Utena parallel to draw me in. Doesn't help that romantic rp is very hit or miss.
8
Hestia [she/her, fae/faer] - 1.2yr
I do prefer crunchy systems, but I did a one off of this for funsies and it was pretty fun. (We kinda ignored the rules for the most part though, which we tend to do alot with light rule systems.)
5
🎀 Seryph (She/Her) - 1.2yr
It's not so much about the system not being crunchy enough (I loooove rules light rp systems) but rather it not being interesting enough. I've read so many TTRPG rulebooks at this point that a lot of them just kinda feel like they hit the bare minimum and lack any interesting mechanical identity, and usually I can be fine with that if the system has a cool enough setting or concept, but the concept here also isn't strong enough to grip me. It's definitely a 1 shot game but that means my brain compares it to other oneshot games and goes "why not just play Paranoia?" If in a comedy mood or "why not play Dolls of Theseus?" If in a queer mood

I’ve been operating on cope (hope?) for so long.
I was sure if I just lost a bit of weight, or went on a higher dose of E, got some laser or did my makeup…that’d I’d like myself.
That I would see a girl in the mirror worth fighting for.
But I don’t.
So what’s the next cope?
Maybe I should gain some weight? Weight cycle.
Get even better at makeup.
Maybe just a bit more laser.
Surely I just have to keep moving and eventually it will all fall into place /s
This all feels like it’s inevitably leading to the point where I’ve done everything, tried everything and I’m still just as much of a freak as I was before.
And then I know the only thing there will be left to do.

its wild that i can feel myself changing, because you generally dont notice how much you change until later, but i can feel myself coming out of depression. ive only just realised how bad a place i was in. i was really socially isolated, i barely did anything with my time, i felt like i only had a few hours in a day where i could be "productive" and the rest of that was just devoted to doing or being on autopilot. and while i was going through it i didnt realise how unhealthy that was. but now i do, and i can feel myself wanting to be more productive, and more social, and have more time in the day to be a real person. im still not where i want to be. my biggest problem is my serious weed addiction. but i want to overcome that problem now, whereas before it didnt. it felt like a lifeline, now it feels like i dont need it anymore. dammit ive lived up to the depressed stoner stereotype. but i can recognise that that's bad, and i'm in a better place now! like i actually feel a lot lighter, and thats crazy!

::: spoiler dysphoria
I feel like feeling dysphoric and unsafe in other ways is correlated somehow. I'm not sure which comes first or if its different sometimes. But like, earlier I was feeling scared/unsafe about my family potentially finding out about my being trans and then I felt my bottom dysphoria a lot more then I was before. And a lot of the time I'm feeling dysphoric, I also worry about like how I will be perceived or the general transphobia of society. I don't know, maybe I'm not making sense I'm just trying to understand this a bit- earlier it really felt like one lead to the other and idk maybe its a more generalized problem. Maybe its just gender feelings leading to other gender feelings I have.
Also things are a bit foggy right now so sorry if this is a weird post

I had my E results for a while, but my T came in as well: 384 pg/mL E2 at midweek (i.e., peak), and 12 ng/dL T. I am currently on 5 mg/week EV IM (although I tend to err on the side of overdrawing when doing my injections, so actual dosage is probably in the 5 - 6 mg range), and on 100mg/day spiro. I get my GAC at planned parenthood, so getting ahold of my provider isn't super straightforward, but I am wondering if it makes sense to look at cutting back on the spiro (like dropping to 50 mg/day)? This was my first check-in for 3 months at this dosage, so maybe I should just wait until the next check-in to see if everything is stable.

If it helps at all, weight fluctuations are normal; the only weight you really ought to put much stock in is a rolling average or similar.

They brought back the hostess subgame from yakuza 0 into kiwami 2, I spent the last of my time in 0 just doing all the hostess stuff only for it to comeback here again at least getting to dress up all the hostess is still fun seeing them in their cute outfits is fun just doing it for the stats I reassure you not because I'm envious on the money issues or the fashion side of things

Trans Megathread from May 5th, 2025 to May 11th, 2025
Heya Everyone, new Mega time and for it, I'm gonna advertise a TTRPG system called Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
A sword duel can end in kissing, a witch can gain her power by helping others find love, and an entire campaign can be built around wandering matchmakers flying from system to system.
Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a roleplaying game for telling queer stories with friends. If you love angsty disaster lesbians with swords, you have come to the right place.
In this book, you’ll find:
Flirting, sword-fighting, and zingers in a system designed for both narrative drama and player safety.
An innovative take on the Powered by the Apocalypse family of games.
Nine character types, each focusing on a particular emotional conflict: Beast, Chosen, Devoted, Infamous, Nature Witch, Scoundrel, Seeker, Spooky Witch, and Trickster.
Guidance and support for running the game, including how to make appealing adversaries, set the tone, pace the game, and structure play.
Tools to create your own settings and stories, alongside a dozen pre-written options including the cyberpunk Neon City 2099, steamfunk poets battling oppression as Les Violettes Dangereuses, laser swords and intrigue in the Starcross Galaxy, and more.
World building worksheet for custom scenarios and starting scenario seeds to play with: Best Day of Their Lives, The Constellation Festival, Gal Paladins, and Sword Lesbians of the Three Houses Variant rules to highlight different identities, emotional connections, and setting elements.
Strategies to adapt any setting where swords cross and hearts race for Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
Here's a link to their website, I did copy everything over directly from it because I put off writing the Mega this week. I was drawing a blank on what I wanted to talk about.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Just got gendered correctly by complete strangers at work while en masc and not putting effort into my voice. I made it. Actually almost crying now that I'm at my desk.
hell yeah!
Yay!

had a conversation the other day that's still weirding me out a little. i was walking back from the shop when this random woman called out to me, "why have you got the side of your head shaved?" i responded, "because i like it that way." and she was like, "well i don't like it."
i'm sorry for not asking you?? next time i change up my hair i'll be sure to consult some random woman on a bench
::: spoiler This week's gay post is really gay. ::: spoiler Have you made sure the volcel cops haven't tailed you? The bruises she left on my neck and my shoulder are still visible, proving that the things that happened on Saturday weren't just a dream. I wonder if the marks i left when i bit her and when the whip wrapped around her hips are still there, too. And i still get this nice, fuzzy glow when i think of how i looked across the room, checking out the girl my gal pal had just undressed, and she gave me that wonderful backwards glance, that look that said "hey, i really appreciate how you appreciate my ass" when our eyes met. I remember the smell of the coconut oil that got everywhere, i remember the soft, squishy boobs of that nice American girlthing, i remember how those of us who were still awake talked revolution until the sun was high up in the sky after we had formed that big pile of happy lesbians on the sofa. I remember waking up next to my lovely gal pal, how us talking about our crushes suddenly removed all the little insecurities i had built up over the last months. I'm so full of joy and so full of love for all these beautiful, cool as hell people i have in my life now. :::

I love being trans
I love being a transmasc lesbian 🥰
So, as an update, I am planning to move in with my beau, but that's be after my current lease/job contract expires at the end of July so we have plenty of time to be completely firm on that and develop our relationship. So, it will not be after just one date (we'd been talking for weeks and had a video date as well anyways). I don't know why I feel the need to justify this, but I do.
I know it's corny, but it's fun being in love.
uhauling rocks, i did it with my current gfs and never looked back, wish you all the best with things!
I think that's great and exciting

incoherent dysphoria venting, just imagine me going off about it in your head
Why the fuck has noone ever told me how much of a gamechanger hair gel is for curly hair?
I’ve been struggling with keeping my hair under control for more than 15 years. But even though I’ve made quite some progress, I still was never able to prevent them from turning into a frizzy mess sooner than later, which has always made me pretty dysphoric.
But now, a big source of dysphoria gone, just like that. All thanks to a bit of sticky goo.
I feel so pretty now.

Bad news: idk how to have conversations or make friends :kitty-cri:
E really sneaks up on you. I walked past the mirror this morning and was like “damn when did my ass get that fat?”
I have no conception of how fat my ass has gotten
having an ass is great, isn't it?
I experimented a bit with eyeliner. It was fun
Some random 8 year old girl was just hard staring at me while I ordered my coffee.

Foreshadowing is a literary device
Its been about a month since I got my haircut, and now that its grown a little I've realised that rn my hair is exactly what I wanted when I was a little kid. Only took like 20 years but I got it, eventually. Nowadays I like it longer, but it's still nice to be at this length from time to time, and I love my current style regardless. It's cute and a little boyish but in a femme way and I love it.

Was watching a tiktok where this one lady was explaining how bad hetro dating has been getting among the zoomers. Perverts/dehumanizing behavior etc I think it might have to do with all the sexism. Shit seems grim for straight women fr I do not envy them one bit
Got done with a game night with friends and just feel... really bad? Like i had a good time, and they want me there, but i also feel so unwelcome, talked over, and like i just shouldnt be there. Like i have nothing to contribute, im just a set dressing.
Lays chips fucking suck. Wy too fucking greasy for a chip, very bland flavor compared to all other brands
Any other brand of BBQ potato chip is better than lays
tangentially related how come all the specialty flavors (looking at you jalepeno etc) just taste like a version of bbq?
::: spoiler horny Well, not really. I wasn’t as lucky as EstraDoll, unfortunately.
Shoving prog up my bum just left me with this warm, fuzzy feeling, which is nice, but not what I was hoping for. Seems like my libido will continue to be shy for a while and then suddenly come at me in full force out of nowhere. But it’s been over two weeks now and I’m kinda missing my hornyness.
Oh, well. Guess I just have to be more patient then.

I saw if Harry Potter was a boygirl-thing.
I kind of hate my lower face, I don’t think it’s anything too manish, but there is something off about it and my lips are weird and I don’t know how to rest them and I just feel like an awkward freak.
I don’t want to completely kill myself I guess…I feel like I could potentially look again. Maybe getting used to myself and learning more about make up and hair will fix things…idk.
I don’t know how to feel right now, I don’t know how confident I am to keep girlmoding or not.
I was expecting to either be blown away and happy or just want to cry and jump out a window…but instead I am just in this weird middle place and idk how to process it.

day 7 of new name choosing.
reached the summit in Celeste (first playthrough, with my name in game set to one of the names i was considering), excited to play more of the game but aooaugh that means its time to decide how I feel about that name, now thats its been on some kind of journey with me. I cant say I'm certain I'll use the name forever but thats perfectly fine, and at a few points in the game realizing "oh yeah, ill have to tell my friends this name" had me sob relieved tears. so I've gone ahead and used the name for the external deadline that inspired this week of intense consideration, and next will tell my friends.
and yeah Celeste definitely joins my small list of really-important-to-me games
Watched a vid on pregnant luigi fan art, I ain't linking that very NFSW and too many CW to write out but it was very illuminating
Meant to do some shit last week but haven't had a good day so haven't done it. Not going to do it today either. Uh hopefully soon though. I'm sure any day now I'll be able to. Ignore the other shit that I haven't done in months. Any day now.
Just asked my crush out and she felt the same way! I am nervous because it complicated, as I have not done polyamory before, but think that it will be a lot of fun.
I've grown out of being ashamed of being a freak/weirdo the joy I get out of my special interests
far out weigh my old inhibitions. I squealed a bit earlier when I saw a furry's paw mitts that shit is so dope 
Makin' ramen, maybe itll help
(idk wtf the emote is but its called soup and ramen is soup)
::: spoiler More new thoughts My brain's going through all the fantasies of having a child again. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the reason I have this baby fever now after 5 years of having no interest in kids at all might be because I stopped tutoring a month ago. Like I find teaching kids fulfilling and now that I that I'm not doing it anymore I want my own kid to fill it? Idk. I don't mind having these daydreams of having a little family since I think they're very sweet and cute, I just find it odd how they started so suddenly.
::: spoiler Specifics I really like the idea of having just one kid to pour all the love towards, but then I think about how I tend to be very busy and worry about them getting lonely, so I think two might be better. Plus if it's two then hypothetical wife and I can each hold onto one while we watch movies as a family so none of us feel left out and everyone's cozy. Maybe twins would be ideal, but obviously that's unlikely so I shouldn't hold out for it.
God and they'd be sooooooooo cute too! I was already an adorable child and I bet they'd be even cuter. Maybe one's got my dark blond and the other is a ginger like my mother. Or maybe they take after hypothetical wife and I can see her hypothetical pretty face in them all the time...
::: spoiler Sad But I also feel like all of these are kinda superficial and shitty reasons to want kids. I'd probably be a bad parent. I'm too much like my mother. Stubborn, prideful, controlling, I'd probably hurt them in some emotional way. And I don't want to. I don't want to hurt them at all. But how I am right now, it probably would happen. I'm not equipped to have kids at all, so why should I daydream about it so much.
Maybe some day I will be though. But I've still got a long way to go. And for now... The daydreams are nice. :::

::: spoiler volcel investigation in progress I must've built up a bit of a reputation with the weekend's gay escapades. Now the GF of one of the cuties i played with is in my DMs and we're talking kink preferences and are planning a date. I mean, we always were lowkey into each other, and it was always clear that what she's into requires a kind of soft domming that's kind of my specialty, but nothing beyond a few headpats ever came off it. And then we met in VC yesterday and immediately started hitting it off super hard and i can't help but wonder what her GF told her about me lmao. :::

It is very achievable, and desirable to many, to get a big butt. Getting a small butt? Much harder. And that is sad. Small butts must be lionised
I don’t know how to enjoy any media anymore.
I can’t watch videos, I can’t play games.
Seeing normal people makes me depressed.
For some reason I was worried that my partner wanted to stay in the town they were living in long term, and that we'd have to make tough choices if I got an out of state job offer, but they clarified that they also want to get out of this shithole state so that is one anxiety I can discard.
Now I just need to get a permanent position.
One day I swear I got a feeling my nephew is gonna trans to niece. I talked to them before about this stuff and they got a lot of signs but I don't know how soon it'll be. They alongside their younger brother and mom moved out to texas and are living with some more conservative family members. Idk if I'm just thinking too much of things that might not be there but idk.

I played a one shot of thirsty sword lesbians, set in a steampunk setting, and really liked it. I love the "string" system, where you can have something on another player character or npc (knowledge/shared past/ etc.) and use it to "pull their strings". It can be used in a friendly, supportive way too.

My tummy hurts
Tbh I have like 0 interest in Thirsty Sword Lesbians, I own it like 4 times over from various bundles but the strongest emotion it elicits in me is just a "neat" that it exists, everything else about it is just, whatever. Compared to other queer PbtA games like Flying Circus being early 20th century airplanes while somehow being crunchy despite being PbtA, TSL just doesn't really have anything beyond the queerness and Utena parallel to draw me in. Doesn't help that romantic rp is very hit or miss.
I do prefer crunchy systems, but I did a one off of this for funsies and it was pretty fun. (We kinda ignored the rules for the most part though, which we tend to do alot with light rule systems.)
It's not so much about the system not being crunchy enough (I loooove rules light rp systems) but rather it not being interesting enough. I've read so many TTRPG rulebooks at this point that a lot of them just kinda feel like they hit the bare minimum and lack any interesting mechanical identity, and usually I can be fine with that if the system has a cool enough setting or concept, but the concept here also isn't strong enough to grip me. It's definitely a 1 shot game but that means my brain compares it to other oneshot games and goes "why not just play Paranoia?" If in a comedy mood or "why not play Dolls of Theseus?" If in a queer mood

::: spoiler depression talk, basically just a stream of conciousness ramble its wild that i can feel myself changing, because you generally dont notice how much you change until later, but i can feel myself coming out of depression. ive only just realised how bad a place i was in. i was really socially isolated, i barely did anything with my time, i felt like i only had a few hours in a day where i could be "productive" and the rest of that was just devoted to doing or being on autopilot. and while i was going through it i didnt realise how unhealthy that was. but now i do, and i can feel myself wanting to be more productive, and more social, and have more time in the day to be a real person. im still not where i want to be. my biggest problem is my serious weed addiction. but i want to overcome that problem now, whereas before it didnt. it felt like a lifeline, now it feels like i dont need it anymore. dammit ive lived up to the depressed stoner stereotype. but i can recognise that that's bad, and i'm in a better place now! like i actually feel a lot lighter, and thats crazy! :::
Fruity, but not a fruit mega
end of an era
I live to disappoint. Mostly my father but other people too.
People asking me what I've been up to but gender is still like 95% of my brain capacity. Uh I think I played a video game yesterday?
Can someone tell me if this is something or help me understand this
::: spoiler dysphoria I feel like feeling dysphoric and unsafe in other ways is correlated somehow. I'm not sure which comes first or if its different sometimes. But like, earlier I was feeling scared/unsafe about my family potentially finding out about my being trans and then I felt my bottom dysphoria a lot more then I was before. And a lot of the time I'm feeling dysphoric, I also worry about like how I will be perceived or the general transphobia of society. I don't know, maybe I'm not making sense I'm just trying to understand this a bit- earlier it really felt like one lead to the other and idk maybe its a more generalized problem. Maybe its just gender feelings leading to other gender feelings I have.
Also things are a bit foggy right now so sorry if this is a weird post :::

I feel like I should write a romance novel despite having so little experience. I feel like I'd be good at writing the coyness and angst. And it just seems fun.

anyone else get weirdly into blaseball when that was a thing or nah?
I just stumbled on my old Hellmouth Sunbeams cap today so I'm curious
Is there a guide to Blaseball for people that are completely oblivious to the lore that like baseball and weird queer friendly internet things because that's me and I've heard it's cool but I'm still not really sure what it even is tbh
hell yeah. I got really into the weeds on like betting and snacking strats before I really got into the lore, but when I did I was absolutely delighted by how incredibly gay it all is

::: spoiler New thoughts I'm starting to change my mind a little on having bio kids from a 'hopefully not, I'd rather adopt' to a 'if my partner wants one... 👉👈' and I don't know how to feel about that given I also still have my weird bottom dysphoria and I think I'd be a bad mother...
Lesbian pregancy seems kinda cute and sweet though and then having little kids and they call me maman and my hypothetical wife mommy and aaaaaaaaaa it's too cute in my head.

::: spoiler smoking
I havent had any cigs today! But im so close to going and buying a pack. The cravings are unreal. Ive had 2 in the past 3 days, before that i was smoking ¼-½ a pack a day. Idk if i need to taper more but fuck me these cravings are going harrrdddddd :::
Most days I'm like "yeah yeah I'm gonna be all badass and butch and cool" and then an errant day will come along (today) where I'm just like "I just wanna be squishy and cute
"
My face is kind of irritated so I am gonna wait to shave and apply ointment, but that means I am just in a limbo for the next day or two.
I am coping really hard imagining it’s not as bad as I think, but I have no way to confirm.
I wish I was like Mickey and could make the laundry do itself
There is a lesson to be learned in fantasia of reckless use of power tho
Sometimes it's a struggle to get people to wash themselves, imagine morose hormonal laundry just talking back to you "stop telling me what to do MOM"
I don’t know how to say this without it sounding like a meme, but I kind of hate my philtrum.
On Sunday I matched with a rad girl, we chatted for like 6 hours, we really hit it off. Said we were gonna talk more the next day.
And then on Monday, nothing. Chat, it's it over for me?

::: spoiler bad family stuff, bad mental health, addiction Dad had a fall (stroke?) and went to the ICU
Thought I was done with all of it already mentally since he's been awful and declining a lot for years now but I'm still more fucked up by it than I thought I'd be
Had like 3 months dry and relapsed and got cigs again too
I feel really bad about it, mostly for disappointing my best friend that's been really helpful helping me stay on the wagon
I just want this awful part of my life to finally be over
I want to be able to say I hope things will get better from here but idk
I hate how I can spend my whole life seeing the worst example of "here's why you shouldn't become an alcoholic" and still can't shake it for good
Real nurture/nature conundrum :::
::: spoiler mental health, alcohol I think drinking too much lately threw off my brain chemistry or something and now my baseline anxiety feels a lot higher and it's overwhelming and exhausting
Just having a constant ambient dread of "something bad's about to happen" that doesn't need to make sense to still make me all tense and like my heart rate is too high :::
Spooky witch players be like: I’ve hooked up 67 lesbians, including 5 polycules. Where the fuck is my fireball?
Maybe the real fireballs were the polycules we made along the way
Spooky witch player: Heh, yeah, that sounds nice and all... But seriously, where’s my fucking fireball.
Constantly having to watch 2 women pretending to fight each other, when we all know where this is ending, is hard work, for which I demand compensation.

hoohoo a bare back is a very attractive thing

It’s a real test of patience, isn’t it? I’ve been watching the 2010 version of Three Kingdoms to keep my urge for semi-fictional Chinese stories satisfied, but not even Liu Bei tossing babies to the ground or Cao Cao running around like a little child can fill the void that Maomao left with all her goofiness.
I miss it so I know I can watch the sub I think but I've grown accustomed to the dub too much. Watching other semi-fictional chinese stories will just confuse my poor brain
Last night the only dream I can remember was one of my scripts firing and seeing the command line output. I read and and thought to myself it exceeded the rate limits and probably silently failed. When I woke up I checked and yes its working fine as far as I can tell.
When I slide in them DMs I don't ever forget about asking who I'm talking to about their opinion on
it's merely a reminder that they should go play

::: spoiler deadnaming, sort of? so I finished my voice training course, and they sent me like a little "graduation certificate" which is cute and whatever... but they got my name wrong on it, they put the incorrect last name. So now I'm sitting here anxious trying to not feel like a troublesome asshole or whatever for being like "heey, can you give me one with my actual correct name on it?"

::: spoiler weight I’m so close to hitting my goal weight, but I’m honestly thinking of putting some back on.I’m not completely happy with my body, but I don’t hate it and my latest cope is weight cycling.
Pretty much the entire time I’ve been on this higher dose of estrogen I’ve been losing weight and now I’m thinking maybe it’s been keeping it from being as effective as it could be, but the idea of taking even more time to reach my goal and actively getting farther away from it also makes me feel weird.
Honestly don’t really know what to do or how to do it. :::

What are the chances I fucked up and accidentally injected into a blood vessel?
strangely I didn’t see any blood coming out after removing the needle, which did happen the first couple times

Two body washes I got are pumpkin spice and bubble gum both pretty solid for washing my stank ass and stank bod. Got them at the dollar store, actually have a couple pumpkin spice ones since they seasonal

::: spoiler spoiler Every time I think about starting hrt I cry and I don't even know why or what emotions are there and idk how to move past it. Its not a happy cry. Its a cry that makes me want to not do it. Maybe it is just fear. But I don't know. Was just thinking about it and cried I guess. Back to not thinking. :::
I started watching Velma, I'm enjoying it.
Do people really think it was that bad? Or was it one of those things everyone watched and so everyone had an opinion on? Peeping old twitter discourse there's a lot of people who have very strong opinions on cartoons, which gives me pretty bad vibe tbh
Very much gives me the same impression that the new simpsons is bad, which I'm just discovering is moat likely because there's lots of gay shit, and episodes about women

Late night yearning hits different
I had my E results for a while, but my T came in as well: 384 pg/mL E2 at midweek (i.e., peak), and 12 ng/dL T. I am currently on 5 mg/week EV IM (although I tend to err on the side of overdrawing when doing my injections, so actual dosage is probably in the 5 - 6 mg range), and on 100mg/day spiro. I get my GAC at planned parenthood, so getting ahold of my provider isn't super straightforward, but I am wondering if it makes sense to look at cutting back on the spiro (like dropping to 50 mg/day)? This was my first check-in for 3 months at this dosage, so maybe I should just wait until the next check-in to see if everything is stable.
Got some sleep

They brought back the hostess subgame from yakuza 0 into kiwami 2, I spent the last of my time in 0 just doing all the hostess stuff only for it to comeback here again
