csde_gimlirats was a great map in the rats tradition, and probably my favorite map. The helms deep one was fun too, and the surf maps were fuckin wild.

You are forcing me to edit the part of the tag I have for you that says “sonic enjoyer” to “ex-sonic bit doer”.

Gay Tucker puts a lot of effort into ever-changing mega art and I think it’s both way more than I’d be willing to do and super rad, and I really appreciate it.

I am definitely open to it and thank you :)

It is helpful to have a decent starting point, and also I was not aware that body size was not super important, so that’s good to know too.

I’ll likely still get baseline blood work done, even if it’s not necessary, just so I have it as a reference. Similarly, I may snag some cialis preemptively just so I have it on hand if it becomes necessary, but I won’t start with it unless that happens. I feel like in the scenario where I find out I need it I’ll be a shitload less anxious and stressed if I’m not waiting for payments to process and shipments to arrive. Either way it’s good to know that I may not need it!

Edit: regarding bodyweight, that part was mostly my plan for putting some fat in the good places once the E is doing its business.

Step one is giving it a week, and step two is discussing it with my partner. After that, my next moves are

  • Figure out blood testing, either through my GP or a private lab
  • Look into dosing and come up with a starting point (probably run sims on estrannaise)
  • Order syringes, pins (probably 25ga subq), alcohol wipes
  • Pick a lab and buy two vials of estradiol enanthate, and possibly other supplies (thinking cialis maybe)
  • Get baseline blood work done
  • Start

Also, I’m in the process of losing weight. I’ve got an approximate number I’d like to hit, but am open to stopping early if I end up feeling happy with the mirror as a starting point. Then I’ll be slowly gaining back to probably 200 or so.

If the first month-ish feels like I’m on the right track, that’s probably about when I’ll start voice training and getting shot up with lasers.

I need less heads

Well I guess we agree on something

This tree picture rules. The gnarly old tree, the trans sky. Hell yeah.

spoilerThank you, I think this is exactly what I needed to hear :)

Oddly enough I actually think that my face is last on the laser list lol. I can look cute with facial hair imo, and also face shaving is nowhere near as irritating as leg shaving (upper legs in particular).

I think I’m going to give it like a week and if I still feel so strongly and clearly that this is what I want then I’ll have a conversation with my partner about it and start figuring out logistics.

thinking about hormonesI was hoping to just be quietly trans over here and not have to deal with HRT, but then I woke up this morning like holy shit I need some of that. Just total certainty.

I’m kinda scared to do it, which I know is silly. The terrifying nature of going through an actual no-kidding transition aside, the permanence of the HRT (that I want) and laser (that I also want) scares me, I think. Somehow the fact that I’m already dealing with the effects of testosterone and that’s actively making me unhappy right fucking now doesn’t really seem to help.

Probably the best move is to just go for it.
