Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XI is the eleventh numbered installment in the… Okay, you know what it is, I’m just going to tell you about one of the storylines!
During the Wings of the Goddess expansion, adventurers will be sent back in time to experience the events of the Crystal War, a cataclysmic event that is the foundation for conflicts of the modern-day timeline. Should an adventurer choose to serve the Kingdom of San d’Oria, they will be immersed in the story of the Young Griffons—a group of children who would see themselves knights, many of whom grow into prominent characters later in life.
Among the Young Griffons, the player will find Bistillot, a shy boy who doesn’t like to be seen. With his penchant for engineering, shy demeanor, and lack of combat potential, Bistillot prefers to spend his time inside of an orcish war machine that he was able to repair to working condition.
He is often seen before he is heard, with his signature phrase, “HAAAALLOOOOOOOOO” being used to hail the adventurer. Through the course of the story, Bistillot finds his way, even contributing to the war effort with his engineering skills.
However, when another member of the Young Griffons is kidnapped and taken to the present day, the adventurer must return to the present day and reunite with the Young Griffons’ present selves! The adventurer’s first contact in the present day is Bistillot. When the adventurer hears the signature “HAAAALLOOOOOOO,” Bistillot approaches the player, but what the player sees is… a woman?? She introduces herself as Bostilette, a “friend of Bistillot.”
After the rescue mission, Bostilette comes clean. She is, of course, the very same Bistillot who was a little boy twenty years earlier. She explains that she was very sick as a baby, so her parents gave her a boy’s name so that she would be stronger and survive the illness. Once she overcame the illness, she was comfortable to reclaim her name and gender. Well, that closes the book on that story, except… I’ve decided that’s bullshit!
I have unilaterally decided that Bostilette is trans, the sickness she had was dysphoria, she stayed in the orcish war machine because she was an egg, and I hope you all agree!

I'll probably try to keep calm and just do my next injection next week instead of panicking and trying to compensate. The good thing is I've been planning to move my injections from saturdays back to thursdays so maybe this would be a good opportunity for that.
What do you mean? What kind of injections do you do?
Subcutaneous, this one was in my thigh. Basically, I got sloppy with technique and had a ton more medicine leak back out than I've seen before.
Oh got it. I do IM, but I've been curious about subq
Subq hurts less than IM and is generally easier to do on yourself. Not like IM is impossible, but subq has spots on your belly that are convenient to self admin and easier to rotate (matters more for insulin to have lots of rotating spots). IM usually requires fewer doses in a given month, slower absorption - it doesn't impact HRT quite as much, but IM is also initially faster too (matters more for like subq Dilaudid vs IM Dilaudid or an epipen where you need the epinephrine RIGHT NOW and can't wait as long for the subq initial absorption)
Stabbing the stomach just seems worse to me imo for no reason. Granted, I started another subQ medication with an autoinjector, so I decided to use stomach to put them to different parts of my body and the first shot was fine. Sticking with IM in the thigh for E for now though (finally figured out I just prefer slowly pushing through flesh a couple shots rather than attempting to stab).
