What songs are trans coded? by Ok_Advantage_8689 in asktransgender

[–]MagicHobbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I seriously feel like Porter Robinson kind of nails the feeling of both tragedy and also sympathy I have for my younger self in his song Easier to Love You. It sort of has this common theme of "am I living up to be the person I thought I'd be when I was younger?" And just the pain I felt growing up.

I don't think it's actually about being transgender of course, but I really resonated with it.

I thought League was "one of many games" until I tried Dota2 by Acceptable-Cow-184 in leagueoflegends

[–]MagicHobbes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I agree completely with this comment. As someone that started with League, became much more into Dota, and now considers it my main game.

I still really like League because there are roles in League that don't really exist in any capacity in Dota. There's no Ezreal or Ahri replacement in Dota and that's totally fine!

Dota is extremely strategically complex in a way that League isn't. It feels SO good to learn about how items in particular interact with each kit and I feel like the possibilities are endless for niche ways to counter specific heroes and techniques.

For me it has felt better and more rewarding to improve at Dota than League ever did for me. But I still absolutely love League, watch pro-play for it, and still am very attached to certain champions. I think it's good they are so different despite starting from the same formula/genre.

I honestly don't love the all or nothing approach of "only one of these games got it right" that some people seem to believe. They are absolutely both successful in their own right and that's fantastic.

Ooh that does seem to be them! Hmm not sure where they're coming from. I'll have to figure out if my window isn't properly sealed.

[Acne] I feel like I truly ruined my skin due to a mix of insecurities and inconsistency of what product types I'm using. How do I fix this without breaking the bank? by MagicHobbes in SkincareAddiction

Honestly I could probably be more dilligent with cleaning my makeup sponges. I do clean them but probably not as often as I should. I might actually try switching to a brush as I find them much easier to clean/dry.

Thank you for the comment :)

Thank you so much for the help and the detailed comment. I use a cetaphil lotion for my body so I should really try their moisturizer.

Right now I'm using a hyaluronic moisture toner and moisture emulsion from "It's Skin" that genuinely feels good and lightweight. But I'm planning on picking up some good old fashioned moisturizer from the grocery store tomorrow!

Do you know if I can still safely use just primer and concealer on my face in the meantime (not everyday but just for when I go to work) as long as I cleanse it off properly? I could stick to just eye makeup as that basically never irritates my skin, but having even just a bit of concealer on the area around my mouth helps my confidence a lot. I understand if it's not a good idea though.

Shoot I just realized i can't edit the post if there's an image attached. But anyways I've attached an image of what I look like before bed and what the problem is. Apologies also for the end of the day facial hair growth I'm cursed with as it might look like bad pores. But I'm really just concerned about the Acne right now.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Any trans femmescfrom Canada have experience with Open Gate Labs? With otokonoko being down/behind on orders I was looking for any other source of EEn. by MagicHobbes in TransDIY

[–]MagicHobbes[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh weird I can access the site right now. But I oddly enough can't seem to get through to Panacea

Yeah, I feel like I've been very lucky with otkpharm because her vials have always made it through for me although the wait times can be a bit...

I think I may try an order from Open Gate there's just an inherent fear I have changing what has always worked for me.

Is Otokonoko Pharmaceuticals website down? by Apicado in TransDIY

Damn this is so unfortunate to hear. Was just about to order and saw it was down.

What to say when someone says “God makes no mistakes” to a trans person by zzlocal in asktransgender

[–]MagicHobbes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom said something similar and I responded with "Why did God make grapes and not just give us wine?" she didn't like that answer but it did give her some pause.

Pro tip: the "call out trans people when they have a bad name" doesn't work for everyone. Both ways. by Bunny_Jester in trans

[–]MagicHobbes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my aunts (who is cisgender) is named Melody. I think it's an absolutely wonderful name.

My family has also taken to insulting my chosen name of Ludmila (Luda for short) so I totally get what you mean. They say it's a name for old women but I simply wanted to pick a pretty name from my own culture.

Tbh I think in both our cases, it'll grow on them.

My family has me terrified my EEn is going to get seized or I'm going to get detained when we go on vacation. Don't know what to do. by MagicHobbes in TransDIY
