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.

Hey how long did it take for you all to get used to a new name? Last time I did this was a decade ago so I forgot, and I'm starting to worry.

CW: indirect dysphoriaTis weird experiencing dysphoria because of other people's voice or body. Like, sometimes when I hear guys talk with a very buzzy voice, I find it icky. Not because I think its a bad voice inherently, but the thought of me sounding like that just bothers me (unfortunately, when I'm congested, its hard not to sound sorta like that). Or like, I saw my brother's leg/chest hair and I felt surprised that I never had such a clear issue with the fact that I used to be hairier than him pretty recently. But since it originally grew in very slowly, I got used to it and became mostly numb to it? Like I still don't shave or trim all that much, but like there's no way I'd be okay with it being like that anymore.

The pro strat for getting all 326 routes in shadow the hedgehog (2005) is to have no social life, why have sex or go out with a S/O when you got routes to complete very-smart also do route 326 first and work backwards that way each time you check the library it'll open up to your last run and you don't gotta flip through it.

blog, sadposting, crush, dysphoria progress I guess?Didn't see crush today, kept thinking about them and made myself sad

Took a selfie in the gym changing room? I never take pictures of myself

Not really happy with it but I guess I'm less unhappy with my appearance than I usually am? I liked my outfit and I looked alright I guess? Idk

I feel like I'm making a lot of progress, but in a way that just makes me more acutely aware of the things about myself I hate and can't really do anything to change

I dunno, big bittersweet feels today

Beats being severely depressed but I've been pretty bummed out lately thinking about how elated I'd be to have just a pretty mundane neurotypical cishet person's unremarkable suburban life instead of (gestures at self) this

I wish I was as self aware and determined as I am now like 14 years ago

I've wasted so much of my life just being depressed and have so little to show for it

Now that I'm doing better, it just makes me angry at myself and shitty circumstances I had to deal with for leaving me with such a deep hole to try to climb out of

Idk I'm exhausted and really, really lonely and I feel like I've missed a ton of windows for lives I could have led that would've left me a lot happier with myself than where I am now

Is it just me or does starting E and spiro feel like a medium (sub tripping) dose of mushrooms? My head feels funny in the same way where it seems like new connections are being made and I also got nausea that eventually passed. Anyway, 3rd day on the juice possum-party

Went to buy dresses finally and all the sizes are either one too small or one too big :( like the store I'm shopping at for some reason only has sizes randomly. Like they will have a small, medium, and xxl as the only sizes available. Gonna check hoy topic instead of this tiny alt/both store to see if they have more stock on my size

spoilerIf you try hard enough you don't even need HRT! Sometimes it takes multiple times a go, so don't forget to keep doing it until you're a blubbering mess and can't think straight!

Got the passport application turned in. Was nervous about the postal clerk saying something about the gender marker change, but he was nice and didn't even mention it. The process was fast, although it was a bit expensive. I opted for the expediated service to ensure that it's processed within the next couple of weeks.

want to get a profile pic and banner and bio for my account because I've never done that

have no idea what to do

Any ideas? Characters I like maybe? Thinking about "hey what represents me?" is always strangely difficult for me, it took me ages just to make an account or usernames for stuff and I don't want them to have anything to do with me irl so I draw a blank a lot of the time
