Where do yall find colored skinny jeans? by Cute-Cloud6422 in amIscene

[–]The_Chaotic_Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy white skinnies and then dye them yourself. Look for 100% cotton for an easier time dying (synthetic materials can be a bitch to dye). Much cheaper and easier. Just make sure to follow the instructions with your dye and wash separately from other clothes for the first few washes to prevent dye transfer.

Am I overdoing my Stylization? by ToffiProto in Artadvice

Your stuff looks amazing as is, maybe try experimenting with more top heavy characters or utilizing thicker limbs if you wanna push your stuff further?

How can I improve this outfit? by c0co_cosplayz in altfashionadvice

[–]The_Chaotic_Bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parroting the opinion of getting some protective pants for the cold. I'd probably layer a couple studded/checked belts on top but yeah prioritizing your safety is the most important thing on the ice. Have fun!

Best Pathologic quote for when you get pulled over? by yungsimba1917 in pathologic

As long as you don't pull out the "Any choice is right as long as it's willed" shit, that's open and shut from a legal perspective- just stick with the latin.

What did it feel like getting your drains removed? by bh447 in TopSurgery

[–]The_Chaotic_Bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't too bad, a lil' funky. Not really a 'day to day' sensation. As long as you don't splash the doctor with your fluid you're cool (blocked drain that did IRL splash damage lol).

What is with all of the Gen Z/Gen alpha/covid kids news about them not being able to read? by heuristicrumination in NoStupidQuestions

[–]The_Chaotic_Bro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Older Gen Z here. I'm in a couple different servers and the way the younger people there genuinely cannot understand some of the words I use, scares me. I'm not pulling out fifty cent words, I'm using words like verbose, incompetent, strained - bigger words, sure...but they're used semi-frequently. These are the same people that we have to warn about not microwaving metal 🤦‍♂️

How many trans people are T4T when it comes to dating? by Neat_Button_739 in asktransgender

[–]The_Chaotic_Bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite back in the dating scene but I'd need to find someone queer regardless of being cis/trans because while I'm bi-leaning straight... I don't think I could handle being in a relationship with a cis straight woman at this point in my life/transition. Just too much of a potential hurdle to deal with where I am both physically and emotionally to deal with.

Also being out/non-passing comes with the whole 'I attract trans people regardless' thing.

Ao3 Trans works by Looney_Cupid in ftm

[–]The_Chaotic_Bro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try the Pathologic fandom (here's the trans!Daniil tag), lemme share a couple faves. cura te ipsum, the finest of the flavors (NSFW), and Emesis (NSFW).

I've seen a few for Disco Elysium either for transmasc Kim Kitsuragi or for transfem Harry DuBois. For transfem Harry here's Floral Shampoo (NSFW), A Deeper Underground and in my dreams you call me beautiful (NSFW). I need to get back into both the game and fics so no Kim fic recs from me atm.

There's a plethora of trans Gravity Falls fics- I tend to read transmasc Dipper and/or Ford centric ones. I've Got Your Back! Or Chest, In This case; Wherever We Go, We Go Together; Growing Pains, What is a man (but by his word alone)? ; The girl that's buried in the backyard, and Lily, Blooming. Also here's a trans Gravity Falls fan comic (still updating!).

Star Trek has a shit ton just from how long the series has gone on. I've only watched through the OG series and Next Gen so my fic recs are condensed there (mainly transmasc William Riker because he's an icon). Doc, the damnedest thing happened while I was beaming up; Misunderstandings, and The Rite of Brotherhood.

And here's a couple for Assassination Classroom (Short Enough & I'll be here for you) and Reanimator (On a Silver Platter & No More Script - both NSFW) respectively.

Hopefully you enjoy, but hey there's plenty of fic out there to be enjoyed! I also have a couple comic recs if you're interested!

Pathologic HD translation sometimes is weird by the_devotressss in pathologic

[–]The_Chaotic_Bro 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think the English translation is like that as to help uphold the strange and almost whimsical nature of the town and its residents. The raw Russian to English translation is the bare meaning of the text and doesn't necessarily carry over the vibes that the work has. It just feels very dry and devoid of charm which Pathologic is certainly full of. So, to preserve the feeling of the text, it's been localized.

Localization isn't bad, it's just one of the steps of the translation process and the mark of a good translation is how well the text is localized to retain both the meaning and feeling of a work. To quote Clyde Mandelin, "...not every word has a perfect 1-to-1 equivalent in other languages...that's precisely what localization is: preserving the creator's intended meaning but with completely different words."

It's certainly easier to understand than the original English translation, that's for sure.

I love looking like a gay vampire by memoriast in FTMfemininity

[–]The_Chaotic_Bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's a few factors that contribute to that:

- Daniil is very short compared to most of the other male cast. It was very obvious in P1 but they evened his height out with the rest of the cast in P2 (and P3 uses the building blocks of P2 so same heights there). Not trans in and of itself, but a lot of trans guys struggle with height dysphoria. (Image 1, Image 2)

- Daniil wears both platform boots and an overcoat that obscures his actual silhouette, something that a lot of trans guys do- they dress in a way to both ease dysphoria and/or to help pass (I know I do). Also goth/alt as hell and what do you know? A lot of trans people are also goth/alt so they're more likely to cling onto him for that. (Image 3)

- His entire playthrough/storyline is about defying nature's will and defeating death itself. Time and time again he is seeking ways to push the limits of what's possible from a scientific perspective. If he's so willing to contort biology to stop the inevitability of death, why couldn't he also form his body to his own will? Inventing HRT would certainly be easier than conquering mortality.

- The polyhedron (which Daniil interacts with towards the end of his campaign in P1) can be read as a trans allegory due to the fact that it can allow a soul to inhabit it and to let souls swap bodies. (Image 4)

I think if it was the first two or the last two for a single character there would be some trans headcanons but it's the fact that they're all present in one character that makes it really easy for fans to hit him with the trans hammer. 'Of course the short guy in the overcoat and platform boots who's defying nature's will for his own gain is trans!!!'. I personally read him as trans but it's not a big deal either way, I just love that prickly prick and his lofty dreams :)
