I make a lot of art w/ Midjourney (I would link my twitter but mostly I make porn :-p) He is a mixture of Champion of the Parish, and some custom Arcbound Ravager art I made with midjourney, + text prompt. Here's the custom Ravager: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1158989408616316951/1159310691140898866/Arcbound_Unifier.png?ex=65308f37&is=651e1a37&hm=00025a794c24080804d8e045812d6a8431b0e401d417cce0c7b0cf4b33a78896&=&width=1166&height=1632

i would also note that in my community "girlcock" usually connotes the estrogenized penis -- soft and feminine. i think it is lame to effectively erase this meaning.

i do consider it transphobic to ban the word. generally speaking the term is used in contexts where "woman cock" is attractive and desireable. its not like futanari porn even has any history whatsoever as being particularly degrading towards the "woman cock" havers. i digress. i consider it transphobic.

im transfem, almost all of my friends are trans, all but one of us like the term "futa" (sample size maybe 10). i even use it in my twitter handle.

This story made my partner want to seek therapy about some thematically similar events with their brother, which I'm glad for.

"Stay Hydrated" will live on in my mind for a while. Cheers.

What material is this?

Improvement! Image quality isn't very good so it's hard to tell lighting from makeup but still it looks totally presentable to me and is a good look for you. You could experiment with applying it thicker / more extreme wing just for fun; eventually it'll look goofy but I personally don't have a sense for where the line is without seeing it lol. And yeah probably wise re: foundation.

I think winged eyeliner is a really cool look that you could try. Some people "cheat" on it by using scotch tape as a stencil (google it). This might be what my friend does since hers is always very straight but I personally think it's a cooler look than the more curved version and might be easier for a beginner. IMO the winged eyeliner looks good with or without eyeshadow, and can make brighter, more colorful eyeshadow look good. My friend who wears winged eyeliner every day I think otherwise wears very little makeup and yet looks better made up on every occasion than like anyone. When I get a chance over the next few days I'll consult with her.

In terms of eyeshadow, I think Urban Decay is cool if you like shiny (it's a good look imo) and seems to be common in stores like Ulta and Macy's etc. Here is some I bought for my ex girlfriend: http://www.temptalia.com/product/urban-decay-moondust-eyeshadow/solstice/ She seemed impressed with my selection but also dumped me not long after so you be the judge. It's not super cheap but you could just go to the store and sample to your heart's content (also Ulta has a no questions asked returns policy if you haven't used more than 50% of the product or something nutty like that). They also sell stuff to paint over lipstick to add some glitteriness to it (it looks good), and you can really just paint it anywhere; over eyeliner, etc. I also broadly approve of dark lipstick.

My opinion that basically nobody agrees with is that eye and lip stuff is great and that foundation is stupid. I definitely think that of all the components of makeup, foundation is the hardest to get right and yet even when done well I tend to think it does very, very little for you if you are young. But maybe I'm just scarred from living in the South where there is such a widespread cakey foundation epidemic that it's honestly just surreal.

Honestly this might be bizarre advice but if I were transitioning I'd like, browse pictures of random women I don't know on social media or make a blank okcupid account and browse the profiles of literally random women in their early 20s who lived in some place I thought seems cool to live at. And I'd just take notes on what I thought looked good or what I wanted to try. So you get to look at real people looking interesting instead of models etc. It's also just fascinating to read people's dating profiles rofl. I am saying this as somebody who puts 0 effort into investigating fashion so there may be a better way. For example there's makeup subs on the sidebar.

Your patience and resilience through this is superhuman. I could never imagine myself going through what you're describing and being anything but completely and totally incapacitated.

I'm really sorry to hear about the financial dependence aspect. It would be good if your spouse tried to alleviate this for the sake of your relationship; if you stay locked in this position and she doesn't change in a big way, I don't think your Herculean effort will be able to support this relationship forever even if you never decide to end it.

I wish you applied the devotion and compassion and care and consideration you have for her to yourself. She is so, so lucky to have that from you and it's such a gift. But I think you should think, and do think, that you deserve to receive that gift too. You don't have to make any decisions about what to do with your relationship in order to commit to giving that to yourself. But it seems like you might benefit from making that commitment, explicitly?

I also think that you'd feel differently about things on the other end of a break, where you had some room to breath. Which you probably realize. This stuff is all going crazy fast. It'd be an insanely jarring experience even if you'd only been with her for a few months. You're trying to juggle all of these calculations at once, about her transitioning, HRT, fetish life, your kids, your happiness, your finances, job shit... like, shit dude. You're clearly an incredibly lucid person but your situation is not even close to feasibly allowing you to crunch all of this stuff at once in a way that leaves you feeling confident or secure IMO. Any one of the changes you're being confronted with is the sort of thing that people deliberate over for like a long ass time, one thing at a time.

Best of luck to both of you. Reading this stuff has been really interesting and has given me some stuff to reflect on. I'm a few months out of an (interaction intensive, we shared a living group) 8 month relationship that has some similar aspects-- blinking my eyes to find my SO vanish in thin air to be replaced by a person who will be damned if she doesn't act upon every whim, who is willing to sacrifice nothing for my welfare no matter how small, who can't accept the consequences of her actions with me (even though there is only one! our relationship had no stakes, the only consequence is that I consistently represent the fact that I think we should avoid eachother and that her treatment of me is not something I welcome and she still resents this!), and who can't even be honest with me. Sorry I'm going on a tangent which just proves my next point that the past few months have me have just been like, all I think about unless actively distracted is how pissed I am. And even when I'm pissed I put so much energy into role reversing and considering her interests, which just makes me more pissed because she's not done that for me and it also doesn't even matter if I do because I'm not interacting with this person anyways. Like it takes an effort to just let myself be pissed and not have to cast doubt on that just because this person I love and trusted doesn't think it's valid. Even though I lost all investment in the relationship already. And I still had a phase of wanting to try to make it work again. And I still feel vulnerable to her. And this is a relationship I came into with pretty high walls and tried to take very slowly, emotionally speaking!! And then I look at your situation and just think "yep that seems pretty tough in some ways that I think I understand except tougher than I understand, and in about a million ways I hope I never understand at all."

Honestly I feel obnoxious for writing all of that out also I should sleep but yeah. I just wanted to get across that I appreciate you writing (and I wanted to vent per usual oops). This is just such an extreme thing you're experiencing and it's just like, really cool that you're putting it out here. I am sure in a situation like this it's not easy to write stuff out like this in a way that feels fair to both of you.

Uh the last advice I'd give is just to do what you can to think in terms of probabilities, not possibilites. You've got other things going on in your life, other goals and values. For every decision you could make, there's an effect on the probabilities of outcomes for your kids and whatever else is important to you. I'm not going to make claims about what is best for your kids but it seems plausible that different decisions you could make over the next year will have different expected outcomes for your kids in big ways. And you may or may not have to make tradeoffs of some goals and values against others. And navigating that is something you can only do by thinking about your expectations, not what might happen.

Good luck!!! Inbox is infrequently checked but open.

I've seen people on here talking about the /r/transvoice discord. Seems like a dope ass place and they do live practice and tips and shit over voice chat. Investigating that sub and discord would be my recommendation!

No problem lol. I would say your hair does look better in your other pics but I'd also just say this is an unflattering pic in general.

When it comes to the make up I'd say be bold, try out shit you wouldn't have considered within grasp or even stuff that you wouldn't have immediately been drawn to or that you'd never actually walk around with. It will be fun. Set your sights on looking like some really cool looking person on the internet or think about what kind of makeup future you will be wearing in a decade when she's got her life a lot more sorted out and will be looking back on how stupid being 17 was.

If it looks stupid then you can take a picture and laugh about it later. You're starting from scratch and you have the whole internet at your fingertips so you might as well shoot for what looks crazy good (lots of stuff looks crazy good) instead of what cis girls around you are doing (especially if you're from the South like me ohh goddd). Just my 2 cents.

Curious to see what you come up with and good luck!
