I can't play anything on a guitar. Used to own one (was a present), but never learned to play more than like Mary had a Little Lamb. Pretty sure it was lost in the flood like 7 years ago, so I've forgotten anything I knew :D

Nice! White is such a cool hair color. Definitely sounds hard to achieve.

Chigari from Blue Lock. I picked the character before really watching the show because my brother wanted to go as Nagi from the same show (because white hair probably - by far my brother's favorite hair color). I had seen bits an pieces with my brother and my cousin were watching it. My brother also suggested that character for me independently, but I had already decided from a glance at a picture with 8 of the main characters.

He has red hair with a side french braid. So I guess I need to learn to do a side french braid.

spoilers and typically anime gender warningTurns out Chigiri is regularly gendered as female jokingly by other characters in the show. He says he's not a girl like the first time someone does that, but after that seems pretty okay with it. The show is like 99.9% males (there's one female character who gets like 30 seconds of screentime in a couple episodes). So now I get why my brother made the suggestion.

Have a specific first color in mind?

Plan to try out a temporary dye next week for a costume. Still wanna wear it to work for a day or two and to my parents cause that sounds like fun. Not in my 20's anymore. Certainly won't be professional looking, but at least its Halloween season, so excuses.

And Sun and Moon have ultra beasts. Like, I suggested it as a joke, but honestly could just see that being retconned as canon.

Probably a good thing to get high with the water levels rising and the storm surges from the hurricane. Being low is kinda dangerous.

A region typically seems to have an elite 4 and champion and that has its own professor and villain group. Johto has night and day while Kanto does not, so they're probably on different planets, where Kanto is tidal locked with a magical cave teleporting you between the two planets. They do seem to share the same villain group though, so maybe that makes them kinda like the EU?

IME, after getting used to hunger, it usually just goes away (although I have a hard time differentiating feeling hungry and sleepy - getting regular sleep helps me not overeat from mistaking the two). Getting use to it can be annoying, but it doesn't take that long. Personally prefer just eating once a day and think exercise can help a fair bit. Doesn't matter if it makes you feel hungrier if you already just fill your belly with relatively low-calorie-density foods and stop when it doesn't comfortably hold more. For some reason some exercises make me feel hungrier, others sometimes make me less interested in eating. Maybe its a timing thing; if its close enough to bed time, exercising til I'm exhausted and have like a 3K calorie deficit for the day makes me just want to sleep rather than cook (in this case, the not being able to tell the difference between hunger and sleep may mean I interpret it as sleepy at night).

I'm feel like a deer in a headlights for any sort of discussion about that :\

Also, they were concerned about stuff like my reactions to general anesthesia etc

Have you had problems in the past? Or just the normal questions the anaethesiology or their assistant always seem to ask?

Thanks for the reminder! Often realize I missed it a couple days later...

How hard is doing that convincing? Guessing its more than clicking a box on an online application...

Even with people who I know with absolute certainty would be supportive, its not easy. And even telling people I was out to and whom have already been supportive that I was starting HRT was hard. I've yet to come out to someone whom I wasn't already certain they'd be accepting. I've been intending to come out to my parents since March next time I visit and I've visited them at least once a month on average and I'm quite certain my stepmom has suspected I was trans for the last 2 years. I think I've finally settled for coming out via text message while hanging out in person because words are impossible.

So... I think its normal be scared. Some of us spent a long time learning being fem was something to be mocked and learned instinctually to mask and hide and deny. Undoing decades of mental habits is hard.

I just talk quieter, which leads them to turning their audio up, so I get even quieter, repeating the cycling until they stop letting the mic pick up their computer audio...
