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!

Slow work day and coworkers are watching football. Seems every other ad is some horribly transphobic shit now.

GOOD MORNING FUCKERS ✨ Replies from last mega:

@naom3@hexbear.net It would be way cooler and funnier if people just picked up your pronouns by default, but yeah I see they/them as a pretty good outcome tbh :)

@sneak100@hexbear.net Are you saying I should cowrite End Cisnormativity: Nothing Is Gendered with the megathread RIGHT NOW and publish it??? doggirl-smart

@WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today

It's weird how much the book explicitly quotes sources, but the whole book seems to push the idea of "NBs are the real oppressors" without nearly as much direct quotes

C'mon, Whipping Girl does not assert this. ...right? niko-wtf I am only ~100 pages in and c'mon, no it doesn't. Please, that can't be real. If it actually is I will unironically cancel Serano. I beg of you...

weird gross thing an animal did at the zooso, I went to the zoo yesterday with my wife. we were hanging out watching the giraffes, and then one of the giraffes started uh... there's no easy way to put this but started drinking the piss of another giraffe while it peed. my girlfriend, who has spent a lot of time around a lot of farm animals, says she's seen this before where sometimes males taste the piss of females to see if they're in heat.

anyways it was probably one of the most blindsidingly funny things I have ever seen and I forgive giraffes for being 56 million years removed from horses even tho they look like god damn horses

My body’s natural testosterone levels were super low prior to starting HRT and yet I’m hairy even by male standards. I’m mildly curious if my T was low even during puberty and if so, could I have theoretically been even more hairy?

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Probably also has to do with hair genes as much as T levels.

body image issues/maybe dysphoria?It be cool if I was androgynous, been maybe not even a year since I worked out some better healthier eating habits/managing and or coming to terms with hunger. I want to keep pushing through but I'm also painfully aware of my self sabotage. Changing my weight something I thought was either gonna be constant at best or worse as depression kept piledriving me is scary. Main reason I've been thinking of gender recently is the small change I been seeing in my weight been making me feel I could be more than what I was stuck as.

While back my sister after moving out left a lot of clothes and well I tried some on. Shit was fun but a major damper was I'm built like a fridge so barely anything but the stretchiest stuff would fit. Maybe I'm just kicking it down the road to figure out but if I could flip from one side of presenting masc to femme that be fucking sweet but I worry if I even can. Caught between lets-fucking-go and it's joever self sabotage coming in asking if it'll even be worth it.

Been hearing the word fluidity and idk I feel like I can play around more as I lose more weight. Idk if I can get down to twink levels as originally planned but something different from what I am is a start. Anyway gotta go been holding up the wendy's cashier line soviet-playful

now that I have my job and moved to an apartment the procedural barriers to actually doing something about my gender have all but eroded. Theoretically I could go to an informed consent place and get an HRT prescription. It's just really scary to consider doing that

I've found myself really consumed with doubt when I think about it, which has been less so now that I'm working full time and have less time to idly contemplate my identity. Truth be told, living as a guy feels... fine right now. Not great, but not the worst thing in the world? Shouldn't that not be the case?

I'm scared that I've been deluding myself for almost two years now. Cis people supposedly almost never think about their gender, it's said, but I'm unusual in a lot of other ways. What if I'm the odd cis person that does think about their gender? What if I'm tricking myself just so I get to feel "special" and not like a lame guy? Or what if these OCD symptoms I've been discovering with my therapist are behind all this, and it's just something I latched onto as an obsession that doesn't really mean anything about my identity after all?

I'm thinking about just going for DIY HRT so I don't have to show my face at a clinic if I turn out not to like it. That's giving me some hope, the idea that if a cis person takes the wrong hormones they feel like garbage. That way I know for sure, right?

Thinking about this gives so much anxiety, but I know that if it is something I want then every second spent waffling is another second wasted. My habitual over-analysis goes in circles. Makes me wish I just didn't have to exist so I didn't have to figure this out. I see my therapist tomorrow so I hope she has good advice for me

I just saw I saw the TV glow and fully expected to hate it, but it was actually beautiful. Also mildly painful to watch, but there is a sad, haunting wonder both in its visuals and its themes.

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I liked it but didn't identify as much the way a lot of other people did. I wrote about it earlier but for example

spoilerI transed my gender in our real life midnight realm and I didn't waffle particularly long in questioning (questioning was maybe a couple weeks for me). So it didn't hit me as hard in that aspect.

I did think it was a cute and touching movie though! I just didn't identify as strongly with it.

Sorry for not posting too much. I finally figured out how to not believe the perception of urgency and importance that comes with my every thought. It’s kinda nice, but I find myself discarding comments because my perspective is irrelevant for better or worse.

26 months on a 3 month waitlist I'm going to explode

Journaling, Navel GazingSo I'm several hours away this week for work training. This is the same place I was at when my egg cracked back in January. It's really weird being back here since so much has changed. 6 months of HRT and a lot of therapy will do that I suppose. I spent a lot of time last night ruminating about the year so far, and the things to come. So I might as well journal my thoughts.

I can't believe the progress I've made. I have accomplished so much in my life this year so far. I've neglected so much for that last few decades and it feels good to get things done. On top of getting my life together, I also look so different and it's amazing. I have no idea how the cissies around me haven't noticed anything. Or maybe they have and just haven't said anything about it. I do worry about how much longer I can effectively boymode.

On the topic of boymoding, it really hit me last week that one day soon I'll boymode for the last time. That day is approaching and I'm sure I'm not ready for it yet. I barely go out in public in girlmode, though I am getting braver. I really need a new job before I can do anything major, since being outed at work would probably get me fired. Most of my coworkers, all of my management, and a lot of my customers are violently transphobic.

I've been applying for jobs like crazy. But I'm kinda on the fence about how to present for job interviews. I don't know if I should include pronouns in the resume, deadname and chosen name, or just use my chosen name. I am currently applying with just my dead name, and that's probably the easiest for the short term.

Outside of all of that, I want to start streaming regularly. I need to set a schedule and stick to it. I think that streaming will help me work on my voice, as well as help me with my general anxiety. I'm surprised at how anxious I get when I stream, or hang out on vrchat, but it is getting better.

Anyway, just want to end by saying I love all of you. cat-trans

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

if you can build up the confidence, i would recommend aiming to apply for jobs under your chosen name and presenting as your preferred gender. this is what i believe benefits people in early transition most in the long term, although i understand it's difficult!
