I have thoughts about the general Witcher lore, Yennefer, Ciri, Geralt, their family bonds, and how I perceive them as tying into the direction the Witcher 4 is going but I have nobody to scream them at.

Imo the decision to make her a witcher makes sense so long as the method used to give her mutations are justifiable. She wanted to be a sorceress like Yennefer and always looked up to Geralt as a witcher.

I do agree that they're fumbling a bit to not focus on her ability to world hop tho as I really wanted to see the Arthurian legend through Ciri's eyes.

Also Ciri undoubtedly has trauma surrounding fertility and pregnancy. In the books she was repeatedly captured by people who only wanted her in order to give birth to another child of the elder blood.

Thinking on it, they could further justify it by having ciri decide to become infertile to avoid others from trying to capture her and force her to conceive a child of the elder blood.

To follow in Geralt's footsteps imo. She was always adventurous even without the threat of the wild hunt after her. She may also not want to use her elder blood powers to avoid the Wild Hunt/the Aen Elle discovering her again.

You have to log in to see it unfortunately

ah yeah i found the bsky thread

Idk where all the new comrades on the site are coming from but I'm excited about it

The traffic light passage next to the punk rock hairstyle passage for sure feels icky even within the text's own context.

I mean if Maria/Binnie meant it in like a "gender roles suck but you have to appease the cis or you risk harm" way then I can only read the passages re: trans guys as her saying that trans guys have safety and privilege to genderfuck openly. (i.e. subversivism)

Think this prog is really starting to kick in.

Besides that, the other things I've noticed could also be attributed to regular ol estradiol. My hips are looking way wider, my ass continues to get rounder, I have the thighs of a fertility goddess, my boobs are rounding out, and my waist looks like I actually have a waist.

Despise marvel and disney but I'm really loving this game. Overwatch has been my slop game for the last 5 years or so after I dropped it the first time in 2017ish. This game feels like more of the same but with a fresh coat of paint and interesting ideas.

I'm really really loving playing Luna Snow (it helps that she's a cute girl character okay, sue me), and it's funny that I know about as much about her lore as the average marvel fan

Overwatch's latest season just hit today and the main twitch streamer I watch probably isn't going to play it and I know a lot of other OW content creators won't as well. Personally I'm not going to either as the latest balance changes to a few tanks and dive dps on top of a nerf to THE counter-dive support look like they'll make playing support even more stressful and exhausting than it already was last season.

Meanwhile in rivals I can just vibe out while playing luna snow and feeling like I can have some real impact when I have to play more offensive.

Overall, 8/10 needs more girlypop characters and less marvel

real, I'm always really hesitant to speak on experiences that aren't explicitly trans related

Starting to cause cis confusion when people try to gender me at the grocery store.

also i'm 1 year on E as of yesterday

i guess? idk I got kicked out of middle school gifted classes bcuz my undiagnosed adhd was in full gear and I never did any of the work i was assigned.

I still have the same qualities that got me into the gifted program as a kid, I still pick things up relatively quick, people still seem to think I'm clever/smart/whatever. How do you even measure this? Aptitude? idfk

Ramattra is too good of a character to be stuck in NATOwatch. I need someone to adopt him for something with actual writing.

His story is so tragic up until the point he indiscriminately mind controls his own people and makes them fight to their own death for no real reason.

They weren't lying, this progesterone really do be making me eepy.

Also my hair is like, ridiculously soft suddenly. Like almost overnight, even my girlfriend noticed it. I'm definitely not imagining things and I haven't changed anything in my hair care. Idk where this came from but I'm very happy about it.

Well guess I'll find out tonight, he approved the prescription and the pharmacy nearby actually had it already. LETS GO

I've experienced frisson since I was a child from so many things. Usually it's when someone else does something to me. (ex. Brushing against the back of my arm, scratching my wrist, scratching/light rubbing of my scalp, light blowing on my ears, light brushing of my neck. Probably more but I can't remember them rn.)

I also got it from specific people's voices (usually feminine but some masculine voices do it to me to). Hearing a crush's voice over voip set me down the ASMR (specifically) pipeline. Ear cleaning videos were my big tingle trigger.

did it start before taking hormones?

Yep, about 10 years before hormones.

if before, did hormones enhance or reduce it?

Haven't actually tried ASMR since starting, but frisson from the things I listed above have definitely increased. Especially the wrist and head scratching.

Hey y'all what's the consensus about progesterone?

I reached out to my endo last night about starting prog and he got back to me today with a link to the 2022 wpath guideline update regarding progesterone where they state that the benefits are negligible and also introduces an increased thromboembolism risk.

He also said that it's "closer to testosterone than estrogen" which I think is oversimplifying things from what I've come across on my own but w/e he's the doctor ig.

I told him that, regardless, I do wanna move forward with trialing micronized progesterone. What do y'all think?

blah blah blah I just don't like his comedy style or acting, that should be reason enough.

It depends on your hair type. The curlier it is the more this applies
