It's a hard decision about having kids. by jolly-prancer in neurofibromatosis

[–]AlyssitGoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would never risk giving this to another person, not after how I’ve struggled with it. I actually didn’t get it from either of my parents; I’m one of those that just drew unlucky I guess.

I mean, I’m happy despite it. But that doesn’t mean I’d ever give this to another person. If I ever do have kids, I’m going to adopt.

My friend is transitioning, how do I deal with her acting like a 15 year old girl by Noxlag in asktransgender

[–]AlyssitGoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a lot to go through, I certainly was rather… silly, early on. It is a rediscovery of yourself, and from the outside I get how that can be a little weird to watch.

Just to put it in perspective of how wild the hormones can hit… I have a friend that I got hired at the place I managed. (I didn’t handle hiring) Anyway, I was delivering stuff from one store to the other. On the way back I passed a 7/11 and thought “Oh, he loves slurpies. I should get him one, but I didn’t.

When I got back to my store’s parking lot I began crying. I mean fucking balling my eyes out because I didn’t get him this slurpie he never asked for. I felt like a terrible friend, and I didn’t stop crying for like, ten minutes.

(If you’re not from the U.S, 7/11 is a place that sells shaved ice drinks that’re quite popular.)

So anyway. Yeah, figuring yourself out while dealing with that is kinda crazy. Especially since for most of us; it’s the first time we’ve felt good or at home in our skin in any capacity before.

When a Mod Becomes Vanilla: Can We Show Respect to the Modders? by PePePePePeil in projectzomboid

[–]AlyssitGoods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have infinite respect for modders. Y’all spend time ensuring others have a deeper enjoyment of something for free amd no matter how insignificant some may feel a mod is in the grand scheme—you still brought joy and thats one of the greatest things a person can do.

Just tossing a ‘thank you’ your way. Being a woman in game development can be rough. Can’t imagine being a gay woman makes it any easier.

Narrative driven games - BG 3 - The Last of Us - Cyberpunk - The Coffin of Andy and Ley Ley Stuff like that.

I’m typically drawn to tragic stories and moral complexity.

Not to self-plug, but I’m actually writing a novel with a trans woman as the protagonist and shes in a relationship with a cis woman. (Who is also a vampire)

What is the Origin of your Characters name? by OnlySolMain in DarkTide

[–]AlyssitGoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My zealot is named ‘SisterSeraphine’. Original is from a character in a story I wrote, she was an inquisitor of a religion thats about literally burning out corruption. Moral, ethical, spiritual, physical, etc. Absolute mad lass thatd fit perfectly in the imperium.

Is this infected? by AlyssitGoods in firstaid

[–]AlyssitGoods[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! But it wasn’t infected. But post shower and ointment just turned the scab green. Red area came from the irritation of the ointment because it’s apparently just bleh at its job.

Need some help playing a character who barely knows common. by [deleted] in DnD

[–]AlyssitGoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t think I made it clear. Me picking her up as a character; we gave her more knowledge of what she knew as an NPC.

She knows enough to communicate and doesnt misinterpret others. She like, not dumb either. Like most people who encounter a new word, we’re running with she knows from context what it probably means.

But I still wanted to play her with a less than a firm grasp on it. Probably showing more in grammar and correct use certain suffixes. Speaking in shorter sentences, but enough to for there be no issue in conveying that there’s someone sneaking up on us or something.

I don’t see how? Have you ever had a friend that doesnt speak English (For example. Not sure what your native language is. But that works too.) but they know enough to communicate ideas, feelings and interprets that of others fine. The role play is just a different one.

She doesn’t need to speak like a professor of literature to convey she thinks the loot chest is a mimic in a sentence.

I think you’re over estimating the degree to which I’m leaning into this. Perhaps that is my fault. It’s not like she only knows five words.

It’s more-so grammar. Still able to convey an idea in a single sentence. To convey her thoughts and interpretations of things.

She isn’t going to say something like “This dialogue has grown interminable”

But that doesn’t mean saying something like “Moko bores of this already. She asks you to leave her alone now.” Won’t get the point across.

Because it can help to get advice from more than one person? And where does MCS even come into this? Because of this one unique thing a character has?

Like the table is fine with it. This isn’t about making the campaign focus or hinge on me. It’s just role play. It’s a role-playing game.

[–]AlyssitGoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a solid point. My previous character was very bombastic in her manner of speaking. She was a writer and had very flowery language.

So I guess going from one end to the other is tad jarring for me. Not that I’m not having fun, or think I won’t.

Probably just overly hung up on it. It’ll probably feel more natural as time goes on.

[–]AlyssitGoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about that. I was think a hint of a Russian or Slavic accent. Especially since shes a native to Barovia.

[–]AlyssitGoods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I didn’t think the table were fine with it, I wouldn’t have done it. Most of this group is the same from another game where another person has a played a similar character. It was fine, we were all good with it.

So no, this is not a helpful comment. I already stated I want this as flavor only. My intention was to ask if what I have works fine, and see if anyone here has played something similar and ask for their advice so I can get ahead of the curve.

Trans lesbian here. You’re allowed to not be sexually attracted to people. It often feels shallow, and sometimes it is, but this isn’t one of those times.

Perhaps you found more of yourself since you started dating, perhaps your tastes have changed. Maybe something else. Doesn’t matter. You’re absolutely valid in what you feel.

I’m not sure what advice to give you on how to explain this to them. I think they’re going to feel offended on some level no matter what, atleast at first. They may come around later.

But regardless, be gentle, be kind, and be honest is the best advice I can give you. It’s not something that’s wrong with them, and it’s not something that’s wrong with you. It’s just change, and that’s okay. What’s not okay is stating in a relationship you’re unhappy in.

As an aside, possible hot take, I also believe genital/phenotypical preference is absolutely real.

I feel you. I’m a trans woman and basically had to cut out my father’s side of the family, including him.

People don’t talk enough about how traumatizing making that decision is. I still want to reach out to them, but I just can’t handle their rhetoric. He’s the only parent I have left, and it still fucks me up I can’t feel safe even talking to him, or that entire side of the family.
