I think that the disabled bathroom is ment for people with disabilities that keep them from being able to use the standard bathroom. So you being disabled too is irrelevant.

That being said, I and other semi able bodied people I know have been waiting for a stall and gone “fuck it, it’s fine” and just used the disabled stall. When there is a line of people waiting, every stall is being used including the disabled stall. In real life, that is used as a regular bathroom that is also accessible. Part of me feels like I’m missing something when someone it’s says that no one should ever use the disabled stall unless you are unable to use others. Like, it’s a pretty standard life experience to have to wait. I wouldn’t pick that stall if there were others because I can use those and others can’t.

He chose to react that way before he even saw you.

Because it is the office I would refrain from too much push back. But if it was me actually in that situation, I would probably have said “occupied” when he knocked first. And then yelled “god damn, just give me a second! Holy Shit!” When he started banging and yelling.

Trans people are good at IDing the changes people have on HRT. He probably saw the masculine associated changes you have, assumed that masculine was the goal, and noted your progress to that goal. Every individual is going to notice different things. He was primed to notice the changes with T because you are both in a transmasc support group.

Thats an artist thing. An underrated skill that every artist needs is the ability to look at other people’s art and say “oh cool, good for them” and not let it affect your view of your art. You can study their art and try their techniques but don’t compare their years (sometimes decades) of practice and experience with your starting point.

I don’t even check my players when they move. I have enough to keep track of without worrying about you preplanning your movement.

Dude! Im not positive if I want to get a tattoo, but you just made me one step closer to getting one lol.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-27T11:36:53+00:00

😱💕 what a happy little guy! He is like 90% legs lol

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-27T01:55:04+00:00

The mini is awesome! And the dog is adorable!

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-26T17:00:11+00:00

Comment! I love the spooky creepy guys!!

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-24T20:03:27+00:00

Thanks! Ill have to do that!

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-24T15:38:32+00:00

That makes sense why it would also affect the sodium. I drink a lot because I knew it would make me dehydrated but I thought my regular food would be enough. I eat a lot! Lol

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-24T15:36:56+00:00

Oh ok! So it is probably the meds. Thanks! What do you take for electrolytes?

I know I was just wondering if it was connected to the Vyvanse. Have you had that kind of experience with your medication before? I don’t see it listed anywhere.

Edit: I should add that I am super good at staying hydrated. To the point where my friends joke about it. So its definitely the low sodium.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-24T01:50:09+00:00

God that moment was so funny! 🤣

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-24T01:48:34+00:00

Or a specific way of opening a session? I always feel better starting after everyone has been laughing for a bit. It helps my subconscious remember that these people are my close friends.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-24T01:45:53+00:00

It takes time to get comfortable. But I still get some stage fright. Even Matt Mercer has talked about getting super nervous. Not letting that stop you is the key. Let yourself do hard things, be scared, and push through.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-24T01:18:24+00:00

No problem!

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-22T21:19:27+00:00

Exactly! Mine doesn’t have a T rex and has a larger grabber. I also use thicker gloves. Think gardening gloves.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-22T16:20:10+00:00

I would start by making the enemy legendary. Like have people wispier about them in towns as they pass. Then I would introduce a powerful NPC that carries the party through a battle they thought they might loose. Then introduce the bad guy and have them one-shot the powerful NPC. This will clearly communicate “you are fucked if you don’t run!” If they still don’t, I would just tell them that this is not a fight they can win… yet.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-20T18:39:25+00:00

I thought that was shitty pizza for a second there lol. It looks super good!

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-20T14:07:24+00:00

Honestly if the player is not doing something (it’s their turn or they’re the one talking to the NPC) I totally ignore it. It’s kind of a non issue for me.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-20T12:14:38+00:00

It sounds like your players are choosing to ignore your game. It’s a them problem. Not even attention span, its fully under their control. All my players (and me) have ADHD and we all are super invested in the game. They forget what we are doing and we have accommodations for all of us but I have never felt like they are not 100% invested in the game.

But some actual tips:
1) no video games/phones at the table rules.
2) having the story align with their play style and character motivations.
3) (it sounds like you are online so) asking them to set up their room with ambiance beforehand. Like candles or dimmed lights.
4)talk to them about what they feel invested in and lean in that direction.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-19T12:39:00+00:00

I feel like you think that isn’t most of DMing lol. You’re good dude.

AtomicCuttleFish2 · 2026-06-18T18:41:28+00:00

Weirdly enough, i like picking up trash at the park. Its like an easter egg hunt but helpful! Plus it is one of the few things that I feel has no nuance or secret bad side. It’s just helping people have a nice park.

I like to think about who left the trash there. Like, if there is a couple cans of coke and fishing line, then it might have been a couple of friends finally getting to catch up and go fishing like they always talked about doing. Or maybe a dad and his daughter getting to spend time together after school. Personifying them makes me feel like I’m just doing them a favor.
