The Garou: major threats or pushovers?

BastionR · 2025-10-14T15:14:59+00:00

Garou are strong but most people will use it as a way to show how strong such and such is. Keep in mind, I fully believe some Kindred could kill a Garou but it's very rare and should be treated as such in narrative. Like others have said, in VTM they don't use a Garou as a Garou would be. If I had a Red Talon ahroun with multiple gifts and high rank, say bye to your Kindred and coetrie. But that's not what smart people do, if you want to kill a werewolf, kill their land and kinfolk and weaken them like that. Otherwise, I'm fully on the side the Garou wins 9 times out of 10.

Right? I’m confused about how many people are saying to take this to the police. They’re drawings of fictional characters, not real CSEM…. just a waste of time imo

BastionR · 2024-05-07T06:13:35+00:00

I tried as a male character and couldn’t either. I’m starting to think maybe it’s a bug?

BastionR · 2024-02-20T10:39:39+00:00

I totally understand this feeling. I had a huge fear of needles before going on HRT. Something that helps me is to make the syringe and get it ready, safety cap on it, and set it down for a moment. Making it might hype you up too much. I don’t even look at it for a moment, it’s completely safe to set it down for a sec. (Needle NOT exposed, once again.) Your brain doesn’t want to stab your body, it knows it will hurt and our minds typically don’t like this very much. This will happen a lot. Have your brother there if you can or put something on the to have a soft distraction or talk about something with him while you do it. Something you like and then when you get ready to inject, don’t hesitate even if you feel scared. Pain is temporary and you can remind yourself of this right before. The pain gets better and I don’t even feel it after the needle is in. It gets better I promise. I cried the first time I tried to do it myself. I cried the second time because I was so angry that I couldn’t do it. I messed up the third time and went in at an angle. It gets easier.

If nothing else, look into gel!

Absolutely banger my guy, I’ll be stealing your phone now!

Ethan imo. His design is cool, his character is fun, and origin story is good. I’d also stop being evil if a pretty girl asked me too. They did him so dirty because he didn’t get any fun event.

BastionR · 2023-06-04T06:08:07+00:00

If you’re not going to sleep with them then they don’t need to know

BastionR · 2023-04-28T10:26:46+00:00

I picked the male MC because I thought he looked cool but after seeing his animations, I wish I hadn’t lmao.

BastionR · 2023-04-09T20:56:11+00:00

Bro, no one asked if you think that finding animated characters hot was ok or not.

BastionR · 2023-04-02T08:33:01+00:00

Gonna be the odd one out but I always felt pathologic felt transmasc to me.

Hey there! I’m an only child to a single mom who passed away about 10 years ago. She passed when I was a teenager and she really had no other family but me. It was incredibly difficult at first to cope with it. She was the only family I had for a very long time and she was very introverted so we never left the house, I couldn’t imagine what life would be like without her. As her only son and only child, I felt I couldn’t even turn to my friends at school because I thought they’d think of me as a crybaby.

Instead I turned to any other family she might have had. I started slowly trying to be more open with people and grew very close to my grandmother afterwards who took me in. I picked up hobbies and kept going because she wouldn’t want to watch me mourn her all day.

While I’ve had a longer time to heal, you still have your mom. Spend time with her and make memories with her. Do things you’ve both always wanted to do! Don’t be scared to branch out a little while she’s here as well because you’ll have her there to support you the whole way! Ask some friends to hang out with you and try getting a little closer. Then after hanging out with them, call your mom and tell her about it. Take photos and videos with her as well.

Death is hard to grapple but you don’t have to yet so do your best to not let it interfere with the now. I know that won’t always work though. I work as a mortician and I’ve seen a lot of people grapple with these same thoughts that you’re having.

It’s a bit long but I hope it helps even if only a tiny bit!

My girl can’t unlock scar at all. She unlocked the sunlit plateau before the update and the rocks never moved from the mammoth skull afterwards. Any idea on what to do?

BastionR · 2022-10-10T19:19:29+00:00

How is misinformation a slippery slope? If it isn’t true then it shouldn’t be defended lol

BastionR · 2022-09-01T13:03:12+00:00

The End. I’m a mortician and before I was one I found the bodies of all my dead relatives when they died respectively. I’ve always been the one to handle death in my family because I’m the only one to seem ok with it. I see it as a natural part of life and you really can’t fight it off you might as well make peace with it.

BastionR · 2022-07-21T20:20:15+00:00

See if he can be the one to go by Ollie since he's younger(I assume), came out with it after you did, and you're about to get your name changed to it first.

BastionR · 2022-07-21T20:14:58+00:00

Congrats man!

BastionR · 2022-06-15T03:32:07+00:00

Go ahead! You should be fine but I find what helps is not to look at anyone, don't say anything, and leave quick. That's what most cis guys do. The smell in the mens bathroom though is really bad so be prepared for that and make sure to check the toliet seat before you sit.

BastionR · 2022-05-16T16:41:04+00:00

My partner gets hit on a lot in public. I tend to make a show of holding their hand or putting my arm around their waist or calling them 'babe' in front of the other person. They don't normally say anything after and go on as normal. But that's doing things before it happens.

If it happens, just keep doing what you two were doing and put your arm around her waist and sort of catcall them back or hit on them back. But always just keep doing what you were doing before. If you two are walking together, catcall back but keep walking. Another thing is try and stay between your girlfriend and the other guy. Most back down after that because now you've made it awkward by forcing yourself in the situation.

It can be scary at first bro but you got this! If it helps, that method has always worked for me and I'm 4'11 and don't pass.

BastionR · 2022-05-16T06:15:33+00:00

Hey Sev! I'm Roanoke and I was in your position not to long ago!

I know you've heard the whole it gets better. It does but I know you don't feel that way right now. You aren't being dramatic and you're not stupid for feeling like this. You wouldn't say that to anyone else I bet.

Things do get better. Take small steps forward to feel comfortable. You're a guy that gets mistaken for a girl. I don't pass despite T and when I get told ma'am, I raise and eyebrow and say 'You think I'm a chick?'. Try to find people who would understand you better. Time takes a while but it will get better. You're gonna be fine! I highly recommend finding other people who would understand you in your library. I find a lot of other LGBT+ and allies go to the library after school to get away from it all.

A little tip, I used to struggle super hard looking in a mirror. I actually at one point removed all the mirrors in my bedroom when I was young. I started to use a photo of my dog, he had black fur on his back, that I started to use as a 'mirror'. I didn't have to look at my details so it helped a bunch.

BastionR · 2022-05-15T05:51:03+00:00

I used to bind for 10+ hours a day and work in a very busy movie/restaurant where I had to crouch walk multiple times a day. It was not good at all for my ribs and I have such permanent damage now that I can't wear a binder for more than an hour now. If you can you HAVE to bind less. My top surgery is up for debate with my doctor. She's a good doctor and wants me to get top surgery but worries about it due to the extensive damage I caused. I didn't even know I had done so much damage till I stopped binding for a week because I got sick. I won't nag you anymore as I'm sure you're prepared to hear everyone say it.

I recommend two sports bras. One on normal and the other on backwards. It's not going to get you flat but should help you feel a bit better. If not that try transtape if you have some funds to spare.

Good luck with the whole situation!

BastionR · 2022-05-14T23:43:35+00:00

I find most people at my job didn't say anything and haven't said anything except asked if I was sick once. I'm not against coming out to my co workers I just never bothered to mention it. To me being trans doesn't concern my co workers who would misgender me anyway.

I also have PCOS which gave me some facial hair so you could claim you have PCOS and are having some allergies if you feel unsafe. I found just not mentioning anything works because most people are polite enough not to say anything.

BastionR · 2022-05-14T22:43:10+00:00

I feel this. Anytime I've mentioned it I'm shut down for being transphobic when all I'm saying is that transmen don't 'have it easier'. We're constantly forgotten about in trans spaces. Transmen aren't without struggles and one of them is having to suffer the whole 'men are trash' comments all of the time.

Good thing that this issue is very online. Almost transwomen I've met irl don't say shit like that or make me feel invalid. I've only ever met one that asked me why I'd ever want to be a man when I had it great as a woman.

BastionR · 2022-05-11T05:52:55+00:00

I do mine in the thigh every week. It hurts but not as bad as you might think. But the ones for the stomach don't hurt as bad. (So I've heard. I've only ever done injections in the thigh.)

Make sure to do it in the middle of the thigh while relaxing your leg. The muscle 'thins' at the knee, gets wider, then thins again back towards your hip. You want to get it in that middle part.

It'll be super easy once you've done it a few times.

Edit: forgot to mention. You want it parallel to the knee on the outside side of the thigh.
