::: spoiler my own maladaptive processes
I hate my brain sometimes. I tried to express to someone who called me pretty that they were also attractive and was hit with overwhelming waves of feeling predatory for even finding someone attractive. I hate my brain. Idk if i even want to fuck this person, i think i just want to be their friend, but i still feel predatory for even finding them attractive in the first place, let alone that i expressed that to them.
I hate my internalized transphobia.
Is anybody here particularly good with character design or color theory? I'm trying to figure out what colored clothing/armor would go well with colored hair, and I always tend to fall on whites/greys/blacks.
Hello yes it is me the colour theory and fashion nerd. For red the complementary colour is green, but blues work too as a softer complement. This is why, for instance, Hapi's post-skip outfit is green, since it goes with her hair. Generally the idea for colourschemes is that you want to pick one to be the main colour and then pick the others based on its position in a colour wheel. A simple trick is something like a 60/30/10 split where 60 is the main colour, 10 is the complement (the colour opposite to it on the wheel), and 30 is the adjacent colour. Black/white/grey are neutrals and can just be thrown on wherever you want in however much, just try to match the tone to the main colour. Returning to Hapi as the example, her post skip outfit is 60% green with two specific shades, 30% a dark bluish grey, so it acts as the adjacent (blue) but is also more neutral, and then her red hair is 10% for the complement.
Thank you, nerd of color theory and fashion. I saved this comment, and have attempted to apply your teachings to the character in question.
For one, I used a blue scarf. For the second, I used a green scarf. Which do you think works best?
(now that I look at it, the blue might be a bit too saturated)
I could also experiment with using the alternate color in the armor highlights, if you think that would work well.
(I'm colorblind but fwiw I think the first one looks better)
Both work well, the very saturated blue is very striking and would be good if the character is meant to be a bit bold, whereas the green to me feels more reserved but also collected. And yeah experimenting with the alt colour could work well. I'd probably try to do the green scarf with an armour colour somewhere between the blue and green to get a nice dark teal.
Something like this?
I did hit the color limit (it's technically 16, but really 15 since I need to save a color for the background) so I had to cut the darkest green on the scarf, but I think I was able to get what you were describing. Could always adjust lightness and/or saturation, but I'm liking how it's looking! Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it 
edit: wait a minute, I just realized the scarf somehow ended up darker on this version. Might be a bit too dark, I thought something looked different.
edit 2: I know why I did that. If I use the lighter two colors instead of the darker two, it looks like it has even less depth.
coolors.co is great for things like that
Automated pride flag
The first one it generated for me was just grey scale lines and it looked exactly like the straight flag. This site is calling me straight
I'm colorblind lmao 
but I love character design and creative stuff
If you want, I'm working on a thing too and if you wanna swap notes on characters or something that mite b cool
Yea sure that sounds good! I lost a lot of my splices, and again had to redo them due to color issues and limitations, but I could share some of what I have.
I'm specifically dealing with moderately saturated red hair, although I'll have to deal with other colors in the future.
Finished apothecary diary, honestly recommend it enough that I'm gonna check out the mawhwa or however you spell it.
bit idea: t4t straight couple where the boyfriend is complaining that his GF keeps leaving the toilet seat up
She judge my slop too harshly
I love winter, had such a nice soft blue morning glow with a gentle snowfall while I was walking to school today. Just wish I had more fem winter clothes to wear so I can be as pretty as everything else.
Upsides of wearing a dress: looking and feeling cute
Downside: I now want to get ripped so I can have giant arms
Upvote to put me back to sleep 
I never used tiktok before but some of these gals on ε°ηΊ’δΉ¦ have really cool winter outfits and now I wanna up my fashion game.
My metabolic panel results are back and everything is within βnormalβ range (except CO2 which was low? IDK what thatβs supposed to mean). AST and chloride are also kinda high but still within normal range
Honestly the most shocking thing is that my glucose level is 84 even though my diet is painfully amerikkkan and I come from a family (extended, not just immediate) of diabetics
I wouldn't worry too much about hypocapnia (low CO2) without any other problems. You can get it by focusing your breathing and breathing deeply (or hyperventillating). If it worries you you can ask a doctor about it. Chloride helps shift CO2 to lungs. Both of low CO2 and low chloride can be signs of Addisons disease (especially with lower glucose) or lung issues, but seriously if you feel fine don't chase after or get anxious about lab values.
thank you for your input, I guess I might be a bit neurotic about my health since for years I've known in the back of my head that I'm doing a bad job of taking care of myself but tried to ignore it until recently. It's nice to know that even though there are things I need to improve on, I'm not like, on the verge of dying or anything.
I finally got back on HRT last week lesgooo
Just took my morning meds and it's almost 8pm, powerful 
CW mild NSFW. This is wild. So Facetune has an AI for roasting your outfits. There appears to be some guardrails around nudity but not for...
... softcore Bdsm photos. So it's generating responses to some pics I submitted like
"this look says 'kidnapped tourist' chic meets ultimate basement lounging disaster, the gag is the only accessory, and it's a choice"
Obviously AI bad. But it can be funny when these cracks gets exploited.
who needs AI to roast my outfits when i can do it just fine on my own by looking in the mirror?

Who knew duct tape and desperation could be a fashion statement? This looks more cry for help than haute couture.
Okay that was a banger too.
Bif of a mixed bag on Xiaohongshu regarding trans people. I see a lot of "Don't ask don't tell" sort of responses, including some "We don't care, but it's not for kids" type talk. When it comes to non-binary, there are a lot of "we don't have 96 genders in China" type responses.
On posts by trans and gnc people, I don't really see any negative comments.
Comment thread and top liked replies:
My department is renovating my department's building and apparently one of the changes they're making is turning our gender neutral restrooms into larger gendered restrooms even though literally no one asked for that. Their rationale is "none of the other departments have gender neutral restrooms" π
Once nice thing about RedNote is I have a place to post self pics that have an effectively 0% chance of being seen by my (anti-China) family.
dysphoria
"self care" actually sucks ass and I remember why I neglect myself. Holy shit I never want to shave again. Fucking awful. Now that my clothes are back on I think I'm stabilizing but I went from "okay" to very much not okay.
Didn't even get half done 
god I have to force myself to do that again don't I. And soon all that work will be gone.
CW: Transphobia, identification documents, health insurance, forced outing
More fuckery with my passport application. After sending it in for a correction after they failed to put the correct gender marker on it, they now sent me a letter (which took a week to arrive) that I need to send in my birth certificate. As far as I can tell from the state department website, there is no requirement to send in proof of citizenship with a DS-5504, so I am annoyed and nervous. I am including another letter with the relevant web pages about the data correction and gender marker change policies, but I am beginning to despair. I am now worried that the policy could change before the processing of the passport is complete.
Health insurance at work is also starting to be a nightmare. The HR system allows you not to disclose gender/sex, but that's fake because you have to pick a binary sex for the health insurance. The HR representative also used transphobic language in the email letting me know about this, so that's pretty bad as well. I put it down as female, and then updated my gender identity info as well to make it clear. Not adding pronouns yet since that pops up without digging into the profile, so at least I can avoid that involuntary outing, but it really sucks overall.
I am now worried that the insurance company is going to ask for proof of sex at some point, and until I get my passport I don't have any IDs that have the correct gender marker (updating state ID is out of the question).
Microplastics fuck with your hormones so I think it's fair to say everyone on Earth is on HRT
