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.

Funny how it hits some family members a lil different when I tell them I’m sterile now vs. when I first told them I never wanted kids

Like even when they’re polite about it I can still tell they’re shook

Makes me wonder how many of them were quietly hoping my partner and I would have a change of heart or worse, an accident (we live in a state where abortion is banned). Fuck youuuu, I’m never getting pregnant! popuko-finger

I'm dying. My mother decided to move Thanksgiving up to today because I won't be able to have it on Thursday and I'm killing myself with all the cooking. And yes, I'm starting to suspect that the real reason was because I'm the one that cooks the meal >w>

Press-on nails get the wall. Sorry press-on nail fans, but I just went through a sensory nightmare for a little over 24 hours just to have my real nails destroyed. 0/10 would not reccomend.

Got more piercings! Eating is going to be weird for a while

Was in a crowd an accidentally ended up in the group photo of the people in front of me. At least in terms of briefly seeing the picture over someone's shoulder on a small screen, I actually was fairly pleased with how I looked.

I had a random flashback to a YouTube comment on a news video about Alex Jones:

CNN YOU ARE FAKE NEWS. DEBATE ME RIGHT NOW. I WILL WIN. I AM TEN.

How much does working with a voice coach cost?

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Mine is $125 per session. I see them whenever. Maybe once a month or every two weeks depending on how often I practice

[–] Pogchamp@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I get the urge sometimes to write fanfics where I pick the most boring characters and make them trans and nd, idk feel like I was boring as hell back before I knew but that had to do with repression/masking.

I did a lot of voice training for many years to get to where I am now, where people tell me even my lowest-effort cadence still passes to the average ear, but even after all of that I find myself never using it in good company anyway. It is exhausting and frankly uncomfortable for me to maintain for long stretches of constant speaking; we're talking a whole day would give me a hoarse throat for most of the next day. I appreciate being able to do it as both a fun novelty in the company of some and also as a practical matter of safety in the company of others... but I have nothing but respect for people who just say "fuck this" and don't bother. Massive, massive respect.

dysphoria, voice training, surgery mention, whiningWoke up with a scratchy throat and extra deep pitch voice, had to talk to a relative I'm not out to, relative remarked that "I'm easier to understand than I usually am(?)" (they're kinda hard of hearing and old, I usually use "normal" voice with them, which I guess is androgynous instead of femme?)

I've gotten "oh LocalOaf, I didn't know that was you, you sound so much like your dad! You're growing up, teehee" kinda shit before and

screm ^AAAAAAA^

I sound like fucking Tom Waits today and wanna cry

Tried my femme voice alone and the best I can do rn is Dr. Girlfriend

Down the road I think I need VFS but that scares me and seems unobtainable financially

Fuck this gay earth comintern rainbow-has

I thought that Planned Parenthood was out-of-network, but it was actually in-network for my health insurance so I only have to pay $10 for the consultation/lab tests.

Oh.... catgirl-huh I didn't realise there was going to be magical grrl shit in Psycho Nymph. Uh, I don't speak the language sorry, I didn't watch Madoka Magica, I wasn't sufficiently convinced. My comprehension, in shambles!!

[–] Josephine_Spiro@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Had a dream that started as a nightmare of a creature going around killing people in a space station on some planet, and then the creature got to me and she turned out to be Badeline from Celeste. She was like "oh shit your trans? Good for you," made a connection that felt like a friendship with me, then went back to killing cis people. Pretty cool dream.

[–] hexbee@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Many people are saying this

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

They're doing gender! You know what this is? They take the pills, beautiful little minty pills, and they go bing bing bong and then frankly, they do lady instead of guy. That's okay... some of our people are doing lady instead of guy, and we like that. We like that! But they're doing gender very strongly and we're hearing this more and more. Thank you.

voice coach is asking me to come up with some more specific and concrete voice training goals and the only voice goals I can think of are the most ridiculous and over the top fictional character voices

spoilerokay maybe with most of the innuendo and extremely flirty inflection dropped but can a girl not want to sound like Mad Moxxi?

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know it can be annoying to find voice goals, and tbh voice training is often more of a discovery process where you stumble upon a voice and go "wait, i can do that? I thought that wasn't realistic!", but it's generally a good sign when a voice coach cares about your personal goals instead of shoehorning you into some stereotypical tv host pattern of speech.

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

But I'm easily impressionable! I can be swayed by such sleazy tactics with concerning ease!

[–] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

spoilerHaven't done one on one coaching before but when I was working on it more regularly (I need to set aside time for it, been busy and it's mentally grueling for me but w/e), one of the things that helped put a little mental distance for not feeling silly about it was mimicking women singers with huskier/contralto voices and trying to get their timbre in registers that overlap with mine

That and practicing phrases in second languages copying characters, which kinda kills two birds with one stone doing language learning stuff

Idk why, but I feel less self conscious speaking (bad) Japanese or Spanish in a femme voice than English

Should work on that more and maybe try learning Russian and Mandarin a bit too

Hell, might become a polyglot nerd, who knows

I'm not great at it but like learning it

What has it been? A year?

It took me a year to realize what I (probably) want is to be androgynous.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Good realisation, grats!! trans-ferret A goal you can work towards, yes?

Been a bit lonely since I left my husband a while ago. It unfortunately had to happen. Hoping to find someone someday to fill that hole. Literally and figuratively.
