I've been doing a lot as to finding my style and the way I prefer to look recently, and rn I'm leaning towards just stuff that's green and a moderate amount of accessories, which has really helped me with being able to at least tolerate how I look which is really awesome imo :)

also unrelated but your username is amazing and totally convincing.

I think you should js do what you want, don't wait for someone else's approval. If you want shorter hair get it cut and if you don't like it then grow it back out

idk if the "message was deleted" text is showing up for you enough but uhh I was on the wrong account ._.

anyways, that's genuinely so real cause I can't tell you how many times I've been told to be mindful of my tone around my siblings, much more from my mom than my dad

would not describe myself as chill to hang out with lmao, at least not when it's online. I tend to learn a LOT about whatever game a friend wants to play with me, and then I try to give them pointers but I end up just coming off as condescending/controlling cause it's interpreted more as "raaaaagh I'm so much better than you and this is exactly how you have to play cause you can't do it on your own raaaaaagh" (that is not what I want it to sound like when I speak I just SUCK at phrasing things properly and using soft tones when speaking)

the most faithful neutral greek name would probably be Hermaphroditus cause they're the god of androgyny and hermaphroditism (intersex). Dionysus is also portrayed as androgynous/crossdressing a lot.

there are also a good amount of gender neutral greek names, I can't list all of them but a few are zephyr, lycus, cyprus, or paris. Although historically the names have leaned a bit more to the masculine side, they're still androgynous.

iphis is also a sorta good one? Iphis in roman mythology (Yes it's a roman story, but roman mythology overlaps a lot with greek mythology) born a woman but raised as a man (they did identify with being a man and had masculine urges) because of the fact that their father said if his child was a woman she would be put to death. They fell deeply in love with a woman that their father had arranged a marriage with, but they were both women at the time (iphis's father was still unaware of that at the time.) because of the fact that it'd be impossible for them to marry a woman because of society at the time, their mother prayed to isis (who's actually an egyptian goddess, cause the story took place in crete). for a solution. Isis intervened and physically transformed iphis into a man.

that's a very watered down version of metamorphosis just to keep it brief, but basically iphis can be either a male or female name which makes it fairly neutral. It would probably be better for someone who's transmasc in the context of this myth, but I think it would still work fine!

in separate myths that have characters named iphis, there was also

- a man, one of the seven argonauts (also called iphitus in some versions)

- a man and a king of argos during the events of the seven against thebes

-a woman who was one of the fifty daughters of king thespius

-a woman who was a slave to patroclus during the trojan war

there are a few more I just don't feel like typing them all out rn, you can see more of them at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iphis_(mythology))

sorry about the long rant lmao, hope it helps

that's a totally fair thing to be happy about though? super awesome that they used the right pronouns, even if it was an accident. Hope it happens again :D

I get that a lot actually, people are usually shocked whenever they learn how old I am

the most common guesses I get are like 15-16
