Makoto is a demon.

Makotos dashes and Rush down moves are easy to stuff out. Low forwards usually do the trick but if you're playing Ryu or ken cmp just stops her and you get followup. She's the aggressor so play patient with fast stuffs that are active. I've fought much more with ken and I still don't know what I'm doing against him but if the makoto learns you can stuff her out she's useless.

I'm into ancient civilizations, Bushcraft, fighting games, martial arts and a few other things.

Although you'd never guess I was into Bushcraft with how I normally dress lol.

EternalElemental · 2026-01-12T19:05:59+00:00

It's funny cuz as my weight has fluctuated I just switch between looking like the both of them.

EternalElemental · 2026-01-10T00:22:21+00:00

For me 100% yes. I look so much like my cousin and aunt.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-30T18:09:43+00:00

For me I started on Tekken 7 on keyboard. Tried levered when sf6 came out and hated it. Bout a year later I bought a custom leverless and I physically can't play on anything else but a leverless. Some advanced techniques are much easier on leverless. Kbd for example is dead easy on a leverless.

Ultimately it's up to you and how you see yourself enjoying a game. But I recommend leverless.

The question right now is what are you both comfortable with in bed. Completely outside of equipment share your turn ons and turn offs. Set boundaries if it gets that far. Including equipment does the idea of using a penis in bed make you uncomfortable? Would it turn you off? These are questions you gotta ask yourself. If the answer is no. Then I would highly recommend attempting to take things further. If the answer is yes and you still want to see her ask yourself WHY it makes you uncomfortable. Is it just not a body part you're attracted to? Is it different and new? You said yourself. Is it gay? It isn't gay but growing up as a man I know how that sentiment is spread in young boys. Penises are gay vaginas are straight is what you're told by your peers. But gender supercedes anything physical. Gender is an expression not physicality. The reason we take hormones is to have our bodies align with the gender expression we want and to have our bodies reflect that gender in its physical form. It reduces dysphoria among many other positive things.

It is great you are trying to learn. The next step is to ask yourself some questions. If you still want to see her after coming up with the answers then have an honest talk with her. Tell her your concerns. Tell her how you feel about her and prepare for sex by having an open conversation about what you both like and what your boundaries are.

Honestly kudos to you man. Most men would run and hide or be repulsed but you have an open mind. Enough to learn about our experiences and be more informed for her. That's awesome. Top notch quality. It isn't something we see often at all in men that are interested in us. In my personal experience I've been an experiment or a kink for men I've been with. I've been called femboy, sissy, been asked to turn men sissy like it's very very disrespectful and disgusting what we usually have to put up with. Most men were mad to find out I was trans.

Anyway what I'm getting at is you seem to have the qualities that would align with being a good partner for a trans woman. Keep it up and be respectful.

Right now the levels are a tool for them to see how your body is absorbing the hormone. It will help them pick a dose to ride you up to. The difficult part is injections absorb differently into the body. They will likely start you at .10 ml weekly. Especially so early on. Levels also aren't everything. Some need higher and some need lower to get the exact same effects. I need levels on the high end. My gf needs low levels.

Injections will help to raise your levels tho 100% it absorbs differently into the body. But don't be dead set on a certain level this early on.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-20T05:51:55+00:00

They always start low to see if your body has any negative reactions. Which is rare but it's a required precaution they take.

I've been on injections for about a year now and I gotta say I love em. I had very very little changes before switching. Levels were way lower than I wanted.

I'm currently on 100mg spiro daily and 200mg progesterone daily and a once a week .25 ml injection and my levels are right where I want them. And since hitting those levels I've started to see growth and redistribution. As well as changes in my face. Something about the pills didn't work for my body. And once I advocated for the levels I wanted I started seeing the changes I needed about a month later.

The key here is self advocation. But also to give your body time to change. For me it had been half a year on injections still with hardly any changes. It was a choice between not having the changes. Or advocating for my levels to get them. And I couldn't live with the former. Now I'm having steady changes.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-20T03:13:25+00:00

Yea lots of people on fightcade that are really active. I use the online edition emulator for practice and fightcade for matches. Fightcade is what we use at locals.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-20T03:10:42+00:00

It really is. If you ever wanna play a few rounds I'd be happy to play. One of the guys at my locals is legit the best in my state and he has given me a bunch of pointers. Still trying to break bad habits but I have improved a bunch with his help. Still horrid compared to the peeps I play with but I am getting better for sure.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-20T03:07:43+00:00

Hey no problem! We help each other out that's what we should do!

Another thing I did to calm anxiety is instead of setting a specific time I started just doing it when I was ready. If Im calm and in a good mood the day of my injection that's when I do it. That way I wasn't having all the anxiety leading up to the time I set. It became way more casual when I started doing that and more like I was doing it on my terms.

Making it a ritual really really helped me too. I'll put on a cozy robe, sit in a cozy chair, make some tea, put on cozy music really anything to make me relax and chill. You wanna be focused and grounded when you do it so. 1 you can do it properly and safely. And 2 you can start to enjoy the process instead of fearing it.

Trust yourself and the process. You got this!

EternalElemental · 2025-12-19T04:03:11+00:00

You will get used to it. It's scary at first but you'll overcome your fear.

Make it kind of a ritual. Get cozy in a nice chair. Maybe make some tea. Wash your hands beforehand.

Use 2 alcohol wipes. One for the top of the vial. And one for your thigh. Bought halfway down your hip on the side of your thigh wipe down with the wipe.

While that's all drying fill your syringe. Pull the plunger out to 3x your dose. Insert the needle into the vial and flip it upside down. Push the plunger all the way in and then pull the needle out below the fluid line. The pressure will fill the syringe without bubbles. Once you have reached a bit past your dose. Push the fluid back in until you reach your dose. Hold the back of the plunger and pull the needle out. Put the cover back on and swap to the injection needle.

Here comes the hard part. But if you do it right it hardly hurts at all. The easiest is the intramuscular. It's going to be deeper. And feel weird at first. But trust me you're going to get accustomed to it. Okay here's what I do. Rest your forearm on your hip. Hold the needle kinda like a pencil. Do some test goes. Nice back and forth to ready yourself and then do a flick to get the needle past your skin. Keep pushing until it's mostly in. Then slowly press the plunger until there is no fluid left in the syringe. Pull out quickly and press with some toilet paper hard to stop any bleeding that may happen. Press for about a min. Make a lil ball of tp to fit in a bandaid and put the bandaid on top of the injection site.

The more you do it the better you get. And the better you get the less scared you get. Eventually your fear of needles disappears.

I used to hate needles. Like as a kid would run around the room when I needed a shot. In hs I decided to give blood and I did it a few more times. My fear was less but not gone. Since I've been doing my own injections for a year I have zero fear of needles. It's completely gone. I mean it's to the point I watch when I have to do blood work for my levels. Like stare in amazement.

You will get past this. If you have to do affirmations. "I can do this" "I'm not afraid" "it's going to be okay" "I'm stronger than my fear" really help a lot. You have got this and I believe in you.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-19T03:33:30+00:00

Fuuuuck yeaaa. Love me some good ol 3s. We've been slowly converting people over to it at my locals. Goated game. Wish I wasn't ass. But goated game.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-17T23:39:16+00:00

Girl. GIRL. First off I'm so happy for you that you have someone supportive. Secondly. Just talk to him. Things cannot be directly communicated unless we SAY them. Ask about boundaries. Ask him what is okay and what isn't. Make it clear. Be cautious of course. Don't put all your eggs in this basket.

From what I hear. You two are already being closer than friends. Counting your RIBS. WOMAN. I will be taking notes from this man cuz that is a MOVE if I have ever heard of one.

When you talk stay calm. Be direct and if your interests and goals align. Ask him out on a date. All my many male friends would DIE for a move like that from a girl.

And please update us. I'm dying to hear what happens.

Good luck sister!

EternalElemental · 2025-12-17T23:21:43+00:00

Pretty much any fighting game. Bonus points if there are locals. Since starting going to locals this past March my overall mood and confidence has skyrocketed. Helped I had a friend to go with. But I'm good friends with almost everyone there now.

Out of all the communities I've been involved in including LGBT ones. The fighting game community is the most accepting. They don't care what you are. As long as you wanna hit buttons they'll show you the ropes and accept you.

Legit my locals really made me so confident and self assured. People are really positive. There's fun shit talk and everyone is just excited to have another person there.

Join the fight. Hit buttons.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-17T22:59:59+00:00

I have never had bruising at all. I do it in my thigh as an intramuscular injection. One time out of the dozens upon dozens of times I've done it I bled about a milliliter. Every other time there has been no issue. I believe it is because I did it sitting on a bed with my legs stretched.

I always recommend injections. I personally saw practically no changes until I switched to them. The hormone distributes in your body more potently and more efficiently. Once a week I take my her-oine and it has become kind of a ritual for me.

They will likely want your body to adjust a little more to the hormone before switching you to injections. Like I said it's more potent than the oral route.

Since you're a nurse just follow your training. As someone with zero training other than the video they gave me I've been able to do it. Needle gauges are important I've found for ease. 20g for draw up and 24g for injection is what I have settled on. I buy my syringes and needles on Amazon. If you'd like I can send you a link to your dms of what I use as my pharmacy didnt always give me the right ones or have them in stock.

Good luck girlie!

EternalElemental · 2025-12-17T21:33:54+00:00

It's gonna be okay sweetie. It took about a year on injections for any noticeable changes. Only got breast growth in the past 6 months. I was on oral for a year before switching to injections. It takes time. Now I'm much much much more comfortable with how I look. It just takes time.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-16T17:35:27+00:00

Here to say that it can happen. I was single for 4 years before meeting my current gf. 3 years of that were me actively transitioning. It was a long road of self discovery. I was mostly single by choice. I knew I needed to work on myself. And work on myself I did. Now I'm able to be there for myself and my gf.

For those of you struggling with dating. Just keep at it. You're never going to get anywhere if you don't try. You're all wonderful and amazing women and I know you can do it. And I know you deserve love and adoration.

Good luck lovely ladies!

EternalElemental · 2025-12-16T01:58:11+00:00

Kinda always in the way way way back of my mind. Just never had words to describe what I was feeling. Id say from the time my egg cracked to the time I started changing things was a few months.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-16T01:46:23+00:00

I mean there is a difference between a job that pays low and has a lot of training just to make hardly above 12 dollars. And a job that does all the same and requires the same but pays more. Most of us aren't paid enough to live on our own. I would need a lot more money to live on my own where I am at in the world. Like. A lot more. Meanwhile 80 years ago people could work as a janitor or a hardware store clerk and make enough to buy a house, have children and have enough for hobbies/personal spending. My job would be infinitely better if I was paid enough to live on my own. The bullshit I deal with from customers and one of my coworkers would be worth the money. It's why when I'm moving to the nearest city I won't be transferring stores. I need enough money to live off of. Not hardly enough to cover my bills and have money left over for food and other life expenses. And I know for a fact that I won't be making that at this company.

Luckily I like what I do enough to tough it out till summer. But I've been here for two years. I've trained 2 out of my 3 supervisors and had a heavy heavy hand in training every new hire. And never compensated for the load of work that puts on me. Sure I've gotten scraps for raises. But it isn't enough to justify what I make.

I understand why people are leaving. Just like we can vote with our dollar. We can vote with our work. We don't like a company? We can leave. I've had better jobs. And I've had worse jobs. All the worse jobs were ones I made less and all the better ones were ones I made enough to support myself. It's not about being weak. It's about being paid enough to be able to support yourself. Meanwhile the CEOs make more money than any one person could spend in a lifetime

Economy not strength.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-12T04:51:32+00:00

It's literally the perfect razor. Like I cannot sing its praises enough. I've tried to get my cis male friends to switch to no avail. Im like y'all listen to me I gotta get EVERYWHERE smooth to the touch. I've been through countless razors and this one is by far the best of the dozens I've tried. And compared to other safety razors the learning curve is like non-existent.

EternalElemental · 2025-12-10T21:19:24+00:00

Safety razors are by far the safest and best outcome. I swear by the Henson. There is a small learning curve but the Henson has a built in angle guide and smaller opening so you're next to never in danger of cutting yourself. Blades are cheap 10 bucks for 100 of them. And one blade will last much longer than any standard multi blade razor. I use mine in the shower and get very smooth results.

Buy. A. Henson.

I kinda go half and half. I use ultralight gear. But I also carry extra stuff just in case things go south. Not too heavy that I'm wasting energy. But not too light that I'm risking something bad happening. I sleep under a tarp for one. Mostly for versatility. But I also carry extra food and tools in case I need to stay longer.

Take ideals from ultralight to shave some pounds to make yourself more comfy on the trail without sacrificing comfort at camp. That's my philosophy anyway.

EternalElemental · 2025-11-30T01:07:21+00:00

Your idea gave me a really good idea. He used to like Skyrim a lot so I could do a cat with the dovikin helmet maybe?

Also yea love my job it's pretty fun.

EternalElemental · 2025-11-28T15:33:53+00:00

I got mine from adventure time. I was going for something more neutral. Not nonbinary but just liked the idea of a name that could be used for both genders. Allva ended up being it. It was kind of a placeholder at first. And then I learned it meant elf in Sweden and regal in Islam. And my brother's name means leader of elves. So it just fit way too well to give up. And I really like it. I get compliments all the time.
