IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists , Zionists (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) in Bosporus, and the monarchs of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human , Shimmi (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light.
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists
All serve the Union
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

yeah, i wonder sometimes, since no one does any biological testing on us before we start hormones most of the time, how many of us may have interesting genetic backgrounds that predispose us to being trans - like perhaps more of us are intersex than we know? (i don't know much about this, this is just a stray thought i've had)
same, and i hate buying bras. least favourite activity...
spoiler
Theres a lot of people who never know they're intersex.
I don't wear them often, only if I have to lol but I really don't want them to get bigger.
spoiler
i cant stand the jiggles tbh, do you do something to manage that w/o bra?
spoiler
My boobs are pretty firm but uh not really, I don't mind the jiggles going down stairs and such. The only thing I've to be mindful of is I have hard nipples almost 24/7 and they show through several layers lol so I have to layer up appropiately
spoiler
oh i've been wanting to ask doc about progesterone actually, mine are kinda saggy and didn't fill out completely, so without something to hold them in place they just look ...
i've literally never been able to find the pattern for mine! it's completely random and not at all temperature related, except for sometimes
spoiler
Maybe talk with them
Yeah mine are always present, also on the look out for a good piercing place here to get them redone lol
spoiler
maybe i'll bundle it into the cypro talk :)
damn i want someone to convince me to get piercings so bad lol i'm terrified of them, standing out, but they seem so coooool (i couldn't even keep up with my ear piercings tbh so the holes are closed now)
(also i had a nose piercing for a decade but decided i needed to be more "professional" at work)
spoiler
Probably a good time to bring it up
I love getting pierced and having them, I had them before, along with my tongue but I would like to get them all redone. I have a load I would like to get done or reopen my lobes myself again that's not really that much trouble but I was looking for somewhere with the little gun to do them again. Nose piercings are one of the few I don't really like, same with industrial, not sure just never fancied it.
spoiler
that's pretty cool. getting piercings as an adult, i remember the sensation vividly even just in my earlobes. a now-ex of mine prodded me to get an impulse nose piercing lol (yes, i teared up) which i kept for years, even after the relationship ended. i thought it was cute & super fem (I mean, I still do, I just changed I guess and didn't like it constantly tickling me) for a long time.
my partner used to be in the piercing game but he's gone without now, used to even have a nipple piercing even. I had to ask him what "snake bites" were the other day when you mentioned them, and he knew, so that's cool.
i can't imagine reopening piercings myself, how difficult is that? (also we're not sure what industrial is - is that the ones that go along your ears?)
spoiler
I have loads but really want to get more, just have to be wary of body trying to reject them because of the metal. Tend to get little sores more if your body goes into defense mode.
If you feel where you've had puercings before there is usually a little bit of scar tissue that you can reopen it's not so bad. I don't use ice or anything I'd just push a needle through but it can be tricky to grip it as you push it through. I'd just br doing the lobes again as those don't really hurt. Trickier stuff i'd get someone to do it.
oh, fascinating. do you mean sores in the piercing sites, or in other places?
hmmm fascinating! one day i will up my earring game, one autism youtuber i watch has a thing for dangly earrings, but i used to just wear studs
You can get sores near or slightly away. Like you can have a sore appear a bit off depending on blood flow.
I was thinking of dangly ones or joops as they would suit my style I think. I only wore studs previously in my lobes.
actually, this sounds familiar to me, or maybe it was just the holes closing up.
oh that's awesome! i tried it for a while, i had difficulty with the constant pulling sensation, but i loved the look of hoops!!
Holes will close up if you haven't kept the piercing
I'll have to see with the pulling don't think it would bother me that much though. I like the look too c:
that's pretty cool :) i'd love to hear how it goes!
I'll be sure to post about it when I get some of my piercings redone (if I don't do it myself but I'd post about that too)
awesome :) looking forward to it
woops scratch that post
thinking on this more, the whole concept of sex is weird, isn't it? just like gender?
It's fake in the way it's presented as a binary. Sex is probably more like a continuum or uh, spectrum, a lot goes into it and it has multiple facets.
I Changed My Sex This Past Year
yeah totally! i loved that part of the essay too, really deconstructing this idea that sex is something innate, used to put biological characteristics into a box.
i'm curious what you meant by this, if you don't mind
Please refer to this theory post for more info
got it! thank you, what a good post
