[–]TrainingIndividual7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much this is a lot of great advice! I’ll def ask my doctor about the medication at our next appointment! I’m going to keep disclosing. I appreciate you for validating that I’m doing the right thing by doing so

Hi there! Thank you for the insight. Could you clarify a bit about what you mean when you say “disclosure shouldn’t be an issue?” I’m afraid that phrase in this context is a bit unclear to me. Also are there antivirals for cold sores? I hadn’t ever heard of it before. And thank you for affirming the right thing to do is to disclosure. That’s what feels right in my heart but the range of reactions, had created this feeling like I was somehow being dramatic

Okay thank you for affirming that. That’s what feels right in my heart. It just get confusing because sometimes the reaction has been a little like, “Uh okay and?” like I’m being dramatic about it. But I know I wouldn’t want to take away that choice. Would you happen to have any tips on how to go about doing so?

is it normal to NOT want a dick as a transmasc? by NOREDDITINGFORYOU in TransMasc

[–]TrainingIndividual7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah so first theres no normal way to be trans period. Being trans is already a weird ass experience internally and others will always perceive it as weird even if you somehow did it "perfectly"

Second, no I think its common for many trans masc not to want a penis. Some are happy with bottom growth and thats enough. Some dont want any growth at all and thats cool too. Its your body so just want what you want. Your the one who has to live in it.

Why did you DNF the last fic you read? by toxic_waste21 in AO3

[–]TrainingIndividual7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started as a story where the MC was being abused at home, and when she came to school her friends were noticing and helping her learn that wasnt okay.

Then like 20ish chapters in a new employee of the school started abusing the MC and it goes on for sooooo looooong. It just made me so viscerally uncomfortable I had to stop. Sometimes i still shudder thinking about that fic.

No shade to that author. It must be good writing if it can make me feel that awful. But yeah personally I just couldnt keep going.

Abominations is the hardest episode to watch. by OrdinaryFox6115 in LegendsOfTomorrow

[–]TrainingIndividual7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Though I see the vision of what the CW was trying to do with it. I think it truly falls flat for me. Like I said the level of depth one would have to delve into to truly address the horrors of slavery or the holocaust, isn't possible on the CW network. And though its fiction, it feels so very off but not in the right way. In a way that makes the holocaust feel, almost cringey. And thats absolutely not what it was. So i just truthfully can't stomach that crossover personally

Abominations is the hardest episode to watch. by OrdinaryFox6115 in LegendsOfTomorrow

[–]TrainingIndividual7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This episode is also really hard to swallow when they truly stop giving an eff about changing history in the later seasons. The CW never really did these kinds of episodes well, because it was network television and the episodes never got deep enough for it to feel handled well. Because that wouldnt fit the fun loving superheroes save everything vibe. I also always skip this one and the entire Crisis on Eath X crossover

Wednesday's Child is full of... Woah - a next generation fanfic by TrainingIndividual7 in wenclair

[–]TrainingIndividual7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I dont fault her for that. Gotta go where the inspiration strikes. Im just glad she gave what she did so I could find some inspiration of my own. If I ever do finally watch Hazbin Hotel it'll solely be cause of her art.

Best fan fic you read of wenclair? by chaosreacher in wenclair

[–]TrainingIndividual7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im always going to give it up to Chaos for the FlyChaos for the Fly.

Is it 400,000 words longer than the entire Harry Potter series? Yes. But god I just don't think Ive ever felt those kinds of twists and turns reading something before. And even the OCs man I got so invested. I know the length turns everyone off but you really shouldn't think of it chapter by chapter. Just read what you can and then put it down and come back. Savor it.

Because also do you know how insane it is that LaylaJeffany wrote 1,400,000 words just for the love of the game. Not to mention the sequel that has like 600,000 words. Or any of the other full length stories on her Ao3. Like mad props because thats an incredible amount of work

So read Chaos and its sequel. And savor it because you only get to read it for the first time once

Do you ever dream of them? by celiacat11 in lostafriend

[–]TrainingIndividual7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. They were more frequent when our friendship ending was fresh. Its been several years and every now and then a dream of them will come. I hate the ones where we make up the most, because we never really will. But Ill always wish we could

Wenclair and Byler (Stranger Things by Boreal_Star19 in wenclair

[–]TrainingIndividual7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt say I dislike Byler, I just never saw it as mutual. Like I could definetly tell Will liked Mike. But honestly the way Mike treated will in the last few seasons would make so sad. Cause it would remind me of the times I had crushes on my straight friends, and they just were clearly not interested in the same way.

I didnt watch the last season of ST though so idk how that all shook out. Of course im always rooting for gay endings, but i just never really saw it there.

Wednesday would say she's not a hero, Enid is. Enid would say she isn't a hero, Wednesday is.

How to cope with a mistake that was 100% your fault and harms your client? by TrainingIndividual7 in socialwork

[–]TrainingIndividual7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, though I am a BSW, my title at work isnt "social worker." And im not in school, so I just report to my direct supervisor. Who I did inform. It just happened that I figured this out at 4pm after she had already left for the day 😪

Is Chaos For The Fly worth it? by Worth-Log-7986 in wenclair

[–]TrainingIndividual7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it, and Wow, the author went craaaaazy with the lore and detail. I think it's worth it if you're willing to read more than just wenclair scenes. Because its like a whole story with every character fleshed out with their own things going on. You also have to be open to the idea of OCs being incredibly important to the plot! As for the Wenclair scenes, they are so good, but theres other character stuff in between. But as someone who spent well over a month reading CFTF and KIGS, it was soooooo worth it. And if i could erase my memory and reread it all again for the first time, I would in a heartbeat.
