hi so i forgot to message the person who was next (sorry HelltakerHomosexual) so i'm just gonna talk about a thing i like

Shadow the Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Characterized by his sharp wit and strong sense of purpose, Shadow is a recurrent arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he resembles and shares many abilities. He is a major supporter of trans people, as evidenced by his catchphrase, "Trans people are cool!"

^ this is all from the wiki btw

I like Shadow a lot. His first appearance in the series is in a game where him and Sonic are both fighting the government and destroying these multi-million dollar gunships. Sonic is doing it because he loves communism but Shadow is doing it because he has a blood feud against G.U.N., who are like the global government death squads because they killed this girl, Maria, who he was best friends with.

Maria basically had an incurable illness that Eggman's grandpa was trying to cure by creating an immortal lifeform, which is actually how Shadow was born. Also, Shadow has a copy of Maria's soul I guess? Seriously, look it up. I'm reading all this shit for the first time right now and that sounds kinda trans to me.

Anyway, she gets shot by the troops and despite Maria telling Shadow to be normal and happy, Eggman's grandpa is pissed off about it so he starts psyopping Shadow into wanting to kill everyone on Earth. Eggman's grandpa successfully does the psyop and locks Shadow away until Eggman finds and releases him.

With his newfound power, Shadow starts being evil and helping Eggman find the Chaos Emeralds because he sees him piss on the moon or something. This goes on for a while until he gets back on the space station and remembers what Maria said, deciding to finally be normal and happy.

He switches up, goes Hyper Shadow and helps Sonic defeat the Biolizard which is basically what it sounds like: a giant lizard who wears the space station like a little jacket and shoots lasers from his mouth. Also, that thing was the prototype Ultimate Lifeform before they decided on the optimal form of existence: a little bipedal anthro hedgehog.

So they beat this lizard up, I guess it dies and then the space station is hurtling toward the Earth. Shadow takes a Chaos Emerald and, with the help of Sonic, does one last Chaos Control on the space station, returning it to a stable altitude. Sonic finds himself back on the space station as he flies into the atmosphere. After this, a big semi-translucent Shadow appears on top of the Earth and everyone can see it.

Why would I lie about that? Here it is.

Anyway, a bunch of shit happens after that but I don't care about it. If someone else wants to talk about Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) feel free. What I really wrote this out to justify talking about is the moon in Sonic games. Like I said before, the moon gets pissed on and destroyed with the help of Shadow,

and then in the next game it's just fine but evil now(???)

and after THAT it's not evil anymore but it's fully intact:

What the fuck? Why? How? I watched it get blown up. Who put the moon back together? Anyway, we're getting in the weeds here. Welcome to the mega.

unrestrained braggingsometimes when I'm feeling like someone matters to me I copy down the nice things they say into a document so if I'm ever worrying about whether they suddenly hate me or not I can reference that document to remind myself

this is turning into a bit of a problem because one of them is getting really long... or maybe this is actually not a problem and is in fact the best thing ever? no, no, it's the best thing ever

Just thinking about the time I was first making my lemmygrad account and they asked me what my thoughts were on trans people or something, and probably what they were wanting is some 1-2 sentence "yeah trans people are cool and based" but I couldn't stop myself from hitting them with a several paragraph long rant about how in my ideal world gender wouldn't exist because it's kind of a prison, and that trans people are not only hella awesome, but understanding their lived experiences and perspectives on gender is something everyone should strive for.

Who could have known I would eventually be sitting here with a cute lil [she/her] sitting next to my username?

Job searching as someone who is about to graduate is one of the most depressing things on the planet. I have done like 200 applications over the last half year and the only responses I've gotten are from super predatory companies. Losing my mind

[–] Yukiko@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

I somewhat feel comfortable posting in here again. Maybe. We'll give it a small trial.

My top surgery is in 4 days. I'm hoping it doesn't look awkward. No lift, which is something I absolutely need, but the implants will likely be big enough to mitigate that issue. idk, we will see. Will be down for a while from it since I'm getting bottom revision as well.

hair's finally growing decently long. i can fit it about an inch of it in my mouth now, and I'm a little conflicted because on the one hand, long ass hair is something I've always wanted to try and grow and will likely get me gendered correctly more, on the other hand, damn, i look really fucking cute in short hair...

Had my first gender appointment (hrt requires a LOT of gender appointments in my gatekeeper central of a country) and it made me realise: I am SO trans and SO gay. I was scared that I had to lie to be more convincing to get the juice faster but I didn’t even have to lie because, I repeat, I am SO trans and SO gay

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 15 points 6 months ago

I've had the same feelings. It's one thing when you think something is just available to you, but when you find it's not, the urges just get out of control.

When I had laser hair removal once, I had a bad reaction, and I thought I wouldn't be able to continue. I had a total meltdown. Really showed me how important it actually was.

sexuality, anxiety, HRTSeeing a lot of people here saying that they weren't attracted to men before HRT, but now they are (some exclusively), and it really freaks me out.

If E made me not attracted to my wife anymore, I couldn't handle it--literally panicking just thinking about it. It makes me not even want to try it, tbh.

One of the only reasons I decided to try HRT was because @kristina@hexbear.net once said that sexual preference shifts are statistically unlikely.

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

::: spoiler spoiler this is one of the worst bits of misinformation imo. hrt can't shift sexuality, discovering more about yourself can, but it sounds like you've done a lot of thinking on that already. I wouldn't worry cat-trans

First morning after starting HRT last night. Can definitely feel the diuretic effects of the spiro, although I was also up really late so that could contribute to the dry mouth. Honestly, can't differentiate the effects of the E from placebo effects at the moment. I think I feel better, like things are more clear and I feel more alert/present than I usually do in the morning.

People are decrying the loss of nightclubs and bars. They're blaming it on $18 cocktails and $12 beers and young people not having the money for that - and that's right. But also the club and the bar always sucked? You were just in your early 20s and dealt with how bad it sucked because you were horny, plus think of how many of people going out also had to roll on molly or bring coke never mind the drinking (i guess we won the war on drugs too). No one would reinvent a nightclub if it was forgotten tech

I should have started working years ago. Could have saved up quite a bit of money by now. Instead I spent the past 3 years studying, and all I have to show for it is a ton of student debt and knowledge about web development that I will never get any use out of because I have zero interest in that stuff. I have a job now, but the pay isn't very high so it's gonna take me a very long time to save up for all the surgeries I want madeline-sadeline

CW: Family, transphobiaWell, my (transphobe) sister got in a car accident today. She's okay. It was a low velocity collision and she was rear-ended. She was able to get home okay. I took her out for dinner after she was done talking to insurance.

It sucks, because she complemented my skin/face, and even offered to do a "curly girl" hairstyle for me. I'm not out to anyone in the family, and it kinda hurts as I think she would 180 on all that if I came out.

Since she's a bit rattled, she's going to be staying in town for Thanksgiving. I was also staying in town due to work. I wanted to be nice, so I offered to do Thanksgiving with her. At least we're doing it at her place this year, so I don't have to stash anything.
