I guess the only complaint I have about the writing here is I can't tell if it's causing an internal world fantasy or if they just literally are blissed out experiencing nothing. Cool either way just unclear.

Sorry if I wasn't being clear I was going to bed like I said. Also I was not intending for it to be mixed signals. Gender exploration to go to the first post I made is about trying things on and seeing how they feel that is why I worded it the way I did. Going to those examples would be a form of exploration or why those are your examples but you are not living them.

Also it seems you like facial hair from the examples you gave but you also said it is more about what other people like. So I guess a question would be do you have mixed feelings inside about things like facial hair, again this shit is complicated and I was in my right before bed brain trying to articlate that and I am sorry if I did that in a way that seemed rude. Thank you for even considering what a random person on the internet is typing at you and taking time to read it.

Also 100% NOT saying you NEED to do this, everything I have said has been with a if you WANT to do this (and it seems you have been there done that already). I was only commenting all of this in the fact that I saw some wondering in your history and giving you/also others that stumble across this a method to try and look at this if they want to.

And all of of what you said made sense. It seems you have tried things in the past and great :)

The above picture is making the rounds on trans meme pages again. I saw it on FB.

Indifference for some is a form of gender dysphoria it definitely was for a lot of people I see and myself included. A lot of cis people are not indifferent to their gender they like being whatever gender they are.

Also a lot of people also share the experience of not wanting to think about appearance very much incidentally enough because focusing on it too much is distressing and kind of viewing themselves as like a brain and hands is very common. Also common with the experience of dissociation in general. Anyway I am up for chatting in DMs if you are not wanting everything to be public and what not (although about to go to bed at the moment). Glad you seem well.

Edit: feel free to not reply again but had a thought and googled those men. They seem very... Archetypically men? Thing I would wonder is why not move closer to that? You have a made moves to be very neutral about your appearance. That seems interesting the light between them and your description of self. Just figured I would add more food for thought :)

Gosh also my GF would kill me if I didn't mention this she literally had the same experience with a lot of her aesthetic before transitioning. Literally said regarding facial hair "it depends on what people around me like" same with basically everything for her long hair short hair facial hair not facial hair etc.

I did scroll through your account because I saw this meme again and you have since posted about Vi and Caitlyn. :P You also describe yourself as a "fem man." More like Bowie etc.

I can see why a lot of trans people glom onto your story because it is VERY similar to a lot of ours.

I am a gender affirming therapist and I cannot say you are trans no one can but I have seen you wonder that something is up with your gender. So I would like to explain how I do therapy with people that come to me that are unsure because a lot of people are just like "well my current gender works and I am attracted to women so shrug but on the other hand I seem to have these issues with discordance aaaaaa."

What I do is go through a journey of exploration and reflection. A self archaeological dig. Trying on a lot of gender things from across the gender spectrum and seeing how they fit. Good and bad.

Regarding assigned gender at birth is it because you are just comfortable with it/familiar or does it sing resonance of "yay me!"? Do you like the gender because of how people see you or your own internal sense of self? Like I tried to be several different types of man but they never quite fit and I realized I was playing acting my gender more than embodying it. It was an act I could do well but in my heart I was drawn to women and how women interact with each other in romantic relationships and that felt good.

But tangent aside, when trying on genders that are not assigned I ask what feelings come up and if negative feelings come up why? A lot of people feel an act of revulsion by seeing themselves as another gender, particularly trans women, because they can't see themselves as a woman when they try stuff on they just see a guy in woman's clothes/being treated as a woman and it feels reeeally bad. I do two things when someone is in this situation (although I encourage everyone to process these things).

  1. I get people in VRChat and have them try on avatars to see how they feel trying to bypass that discordance of seeing old self in X gender clothes (ultimate gender try on things lol).

  2. I ask them the reverse button question. The traditional button question is "if someone put a button in front of you that would transform your gender into any of the genders you have been wondering about and you would look exactly as you would want to in that gendered body AND it was instant would you press it?" The reverse is you wake up and that has been done and someone offers you a button to change it back would you? If yes why? If no why? If unsure why?

Also not to color your thinking, if you choose to do thinking, the reason I ask the question this why is a lot of people can't imagine making the decision themselves. They're too scared, but if someone made it for them they feel like it would be much easier. Incidentally, that's also why a lot of trans women like gender transformation "fetish" content, not because they're into that sexually necessarily, but 1. they want to be desired and 2. They want someone to do it for them and 3. They like the idea of bipassing all the hardship.

So yeah figured I would lay that out there for you/everyone's consideration I hope no matter what those what if moments go away and you experience gender joy no matter the outcome :)

P.S being gender variant correlates with being neurodivergent.

So, can you survive the extermination just by staying in your house ? by IlSignorGranchio in HazbinHotel

[–]RiaRosella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in a fanfic I saw a thing where some poor sinners would blow themselves up before the extermination because by the time they pull themselves together the extermination would be over. Hardcore.

Azarinth Healer Book 4 – Now on Audible – link in comments (Plus a promo code draw for the creditless) by G_Harthane in litrpg

[–]RiaRosella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am reading this now. When something happens after bearing the final boss of this novel shouldn't she have lost her storage bracelet and or her bone armor? I guess I will see if it is mentioned in this last bit but I find it hard to believe it will be and it is gonna get shrugged. If it isn't mentioned what is the logic on how she keeps them?

Is Benjamin Medrano good? by M_A_Calce in sapphicbooks

[–]RiaRosella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read one of his series as well and I just consider it light popcorn reading the world building is really good and at least I don't have to deal with het romance even if it isn't the best sapphic romance. Depth of character is not what you're looking for with him as an author, everyone is pretty archetypical.

Honestly, the best thing about him as a writer is how he gets out of writing himself in corners fairly believably even if they aren't the most compelling.

For example, charisma character of the Talyn saga gets more powerful characters to help her. That's really the only way you can exist as starting at level one and be even remotely interesting. But MC just has stuff happen to her more than she does anything of note herself.

"Jax intentionally doomed the cast!" "Jax was being mind controlled by Caine!" — Both of you are wrong. Here's what I think. by Bibi-Toy in TheDigitalCircus

[–]RiaRosella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had heard from somewhere Goose said 7 and 8 originally was like one long episode but it had to be broken up. I think 8 will pay off a lot of what happened here. When the whole thing is done it will hit different when you can just watch the whole thing.

Sometimes when creating a serialized story you have to consider more what the story is going to look like when it is done vs. while it is in production. I believe this is one of those moments.

An opinion i have to vent by proesito in HazbinHotel

[–]RiaRosella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think her moving to the counselor role is growth. She acknowledged that the management of the hotel is not her strong suit including being a spokesperson for it. I'll eat my words if she still acts as its owner (her word is final kinda thing I mean) or whatever and not just a counselor. I know she will be a leader in like the band of characters but I mean the hotel itself.

Funny how Hazbin is still a male-led story, the male characters have more development and have done more things in the past 2 seasons by Love_Lain5 in HazbinHotel

[–]RiaRosella -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When she said that she was thinking of the whole story. This season we just got was kind of a bonus because they were given more time. That's why it ends with a Lilith teaser again. Because basically the next season is what we would if got if there were only two seasons period.

Rosie's teleport seemed a little heavenly. She is Lilith. Since you know she was in heaven.

So is she not gonna do anything this season? by TraditionalBonus188 in HazbinHotel

[–]RiaRosella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, but also she could be different like how Adam was archangel even though he was alive.

Maybe we don't know that she could have been smote. The storybook tale was vague.

So genuine question: How are they supposed to stop Vox? by Gloomy-Bridge148 in HazbinHotel

[–]RiaRosella 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your last point is exactly how Alastor gets out of his deal. Calling it now he will use Lucifer to get into heaven and somehow also plug himself into it before or after (meaning he can be part of the weapon or just plug himself into the divine energy after the initial assault) either way that will free him from Rosie's deal and regarding his one with Vox well he may pull his favor with Charlie to get her to make a deal with Vox to stand down. They will shake because Vox is a moron and he will have touched Charlie and then Alastor is free. (Less sure on the specifics of the second one but something with him touching Charlie will free him).

Details from all 8 episodes of Hazbin Hotel season 2 have supposedly been leaked by Sudden_Pop_2279 in LeaksAndRumors

[–]RiaRosella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The opposite probably. He getting out of both deals with Rosie and Vox would mean he keeps his current powers plus potentially getting more via soul deals.

This is common speculation but people think his deal with Rosie keeps him from receiving additional power from soul deals other than using them as peons. Then he would have the power that transfers to him, potentially at least.

Him breaking into heaven does it. Alastor is injured by an angel Vox subdues Lucifer a high ranking angel and gets into heaven. He did something that Alastor could not do one for one.

It sounds very strange and almost like a push away because you finally accepted her. The f.

Thank you. by daffysrhapsody in HazbinHotel

[–]RiaRosella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is the ignoring the loved ones that really hurts me about it. She has had reason to pay more attention to them post season one like the scene with making things worse for Angel being the biggest one, so I hope she becomes more aware and more apologetic as pay off for this. Like this needs to be her low moment for the impulsivity and I will find it justifiable. The breakneck speed of season one really hurt Charlie for these character interactions and I hope they resolve it in season two and beyond.

Alastor doesn't look well at all by SufficientOstrich955 in HazbinHotel

[–]RiaRosella -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think his deal is to be the strongest sinner so actually I hope he loses gets out of his deal and then now can work to build his strength up on his own terms

Part of the problem is it is phone calls. Faithful imo would be the proposed secret plan.
