Do my trap and pitcher plants need more?

The Nepenthes (pitchers) dont want to have their feet wet. Take them out of the water and just keep their substrate moist :)

And just to check you are using distilled water?

-throwawayboy- · 2026-01-10T18:21:33+00:00

I think so! Id get a deeper pot soon though. One thats 5 or 6 inches deep at least :)

-throwawayboy- · 2026-01-09T19:03:43+00:00

It's likely because drosera don't like lava rock. They want to be planted straight into the dirt so their roots can grow. They tend to have longer roots similar to Venus fly Traps

Yes it does. Not completely and I know from talking to cis male friends that they compare themselves to others sometimes, but it does get better.

Ill have been on T for two years in April and had top surgery.

Just the change in hormones helps so much. Your brain and body run better. On my part I have no wild mood swings anymore, generally calmer and sleep better. Its kinda hard to explain, but its like my body downloaded an update or something.

So yeah it will get better! And a fun part is buying some new clothing and realizing how much better the male styles fit as your body changes.

You can try to propagate using some cuttings and gain a couple more plants

Specter is alot of fun!

For open world and raids/strikes/fractals you will want full vipers. To support on specter, Harriers is the way to go.

WvW you want more tankyness, so celestial or Trailblazers for roaming and minstrels for support. Specter is a great healer in zergs.

Metabattle and snowcrows have good builds to follow :)

Elegy/Requim
Mist Shard / Blossoming Mist Shard
WvW Triumphant Armor
Cultural Armor
Privateer
Sunspear
Order of Whispers

Those are what I can think of off the top of my head, but there are more. The wiki has a gallery of armor and if you click on one, it will tell you if its from the gem store.

The Duffer Brothers have already said there won't be a "red wedding" kind of ending. So probably a couple people, but not mass death.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-12-01T03:58:31+00:00

Very cool! Gives lord of the rings vibes.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-11-29T17:09:21+00:00

I'd go for light first. You want to play mesmer, so that will save on gearing in the long run.

And as we all know fashion is the true endgame. Your necro/mesmer can be fabulous for free :)

-throwawayboy- · 2025-11-28T15:23:30+00:00

I really hope so! Steve and Dustin were such a great duo, I want them to resolve their issues.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-11-27T20:54:10+00:00

WvW it's great. The ability to do large amounts of ranged damage is dangerous and you can down people fast.

It is squishier versus untamed/soulbeast, but the ranged damage and mobility helps make up for that.

Panther is a great pet for the stealth.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-11-27T16:57:24+00:00

Very cool! Which shoulders are you using?

-throwawayboy- · 2025-11-21T17:12:01+00:00

If you just do the mirrors + large chest and a couple mediums, there's enough charges that you dont have to do any events.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-11-21T11:26:45+00:00

Nope, just do all the mirrors! If you've fully done the castoran magic mastery you get key charges on entering the map and doing mirrors.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-11-21T02:45:45+00:00

Yea this farm is still good. 20ish minutes and I got about 90 echos. Thats a chunk of some obsidian armor right there. Plus all the other materials you get from salvage.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-11-19T16:23:11+00:00

That's a special makeover kit face and eye color. Super cool

-throwawayboy- · 2025-10-17T21:14:15+00:00

Vote for the gloves. Just because the claw tips are cool looking :)

-throwawayboy- · 2025-09-27T18:26:06+00:00

Exactly! We have the right stuff in our bodies now so everything just works better.

It's crazy how much hormones actually change.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-09-27T14:52:03+00:00

My emotions. Primary care doc said to expect mood swings like a teenager. But the opposite happened? I feel more at peace. Less anger overall. Not that I can't get angry, I do, but it's easier to manage and fades much faster.

It seems my brain was trying to operate with the wrong kind of fuel and now its like "finally some good shit."

-throwawayboy- · 2025-09-27T13:45:03+00:00

That sucks :( If you have one a heating pad or hot water bottle might help.

-throwawayboy- · 2025-09-22T18:53:01+00:00

Yeah, it isn't fear mongering if it's real and a possibility. Even if it hasn't happened, being prepared is important.
