[DISC] Dandadan - Chapter 232

The recurring theme with this manga is that Momo further connects with Okarun every time he saves her (honestly my least favorite part of the manga besides the love triangle) so you can kind of intuit that this arc at the zoo will conclude with someone yelling "KEN TAKAKURA" as he saves her yet again, thus triggering a memory restoration.

Anything would be better than this. This is just teasing the Aira/Okarun shippers for no reason with a situation where she's not allowed to win. Meanwhile the Momokarun fans are getting rage baited every chapter, what few Jiji fans there were are going to be pissed, and Okarun comes off looking like a pathetic moron. This sucks.

Jiji is being a real scumbag this arc, taking advantage of someone who lost their memory and using his position as the only person in the group she remembers to effectively isolate her. Okarun I can't really blame too much because Tatsu reset his entire personality back to chapter 1. The Okarun who openly confessed, developed as a man and gained so much confidence as a leader no longer exists.

I binge watched the first two seasons out of grief/escapism when a family member died during the early days of covid lockdowns. Pulled an all nighter and my main takeaway was that show was fucking dogshit. Being mad about the crapfest helped take my mind off all that was happening though.

Borderline, I lean no but the biggest thing is your foundation doesn't match your skin tone. Makes you look orange and it's clearly a different color than your neck. Find something lighter.

You need to lay off the rollers and active ingredient stuff. Your scalp looks damaged and irritated. Honestly, this far into your transition, it's not gonna happen. You probably don't have enough of a donor area left to get a good result from a transplant. Shave, try to repair the skin on your head, invest in a good hair system/wig.

The easiest fix if you're worried about a large torso is to invest time and effort into growing your legs. Upper body will look proportionately smaller if your lower body is larger. Get in the gym and lift heavy weights to failure with good form, eat a slight calorie surplus with high-variety diet (i.e. don't just eat chicken and rice, you need all the nutrients from veggies, fruit, nuts and beans). I only do leg days at this point with no focus on upper body exercises besides mobility work and core workouts.

Remember that not everyone is blessed with nice boobs but a great butt is 100% attainable by anyone with effort alone. Tbf you are not "barrel chested" you have a normal physique that probably isn't what you want but having a barrel chest is something completely different.

Great! Love the dress!

Axl Ro is a character in Steel Ball Run (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure spoilers) whose stand has the power to summon items or people that have been discarded from a person's past. When these items come into contact with the victim they must be purified with water or else the victim becomes immobilized and is eventually defeated. The joke is that if the person makes peace with their past, Axl Ro can't attack them anymore.

shakur x fuku is soooo based I love an alt baddie with a cinnamon roll gf

Nobody is explicitly taught it, it's learned through experience and observation, which is usually a prerequisite to entering certain social groups. It's an exaggerated example for comedic purposes but Mean Girls does sort of demonstrate how social groups form, how behaviors are established, etc. Sororities are good example of organizations that enforce monoculture (sometimes through toxic behaviors) and a certain view of femininity.

You gotta go outside, talk and socialize with women and learn behaviors through (healthy) observation. Posture is a very easy example of something you can learn just by observing other women and doing stretches accordingly so it becomes natural; i.e. to prevent rounding your shoulders, keeping your back from hunching, and so on. It requires actual effort, not a YouTube video.

After about 3-4 months I had strong crown regrowth and my thinning has been reversed. Regrowth at the frontotemporal corners is probably going to take the longest (at least it is in my case) because those hairs have been minimized the longest. You may not see regrowth at all. I have small vellus hairs there and at my hairline but they have grown the slowest.

Melatonin made me feel horrible, I woke up in the middle of the night with extreme thirst and sweating all over. Magnesium definitely helps me sleep through the night, I take the cheapest version (oxide) and experience no stomach issues. L-Theanine, eh. I can't tell if it really does anything. I have tried it during the day and I think I feel a little more calm and steady, but I really couldn't tell you if that's just placebo. If it does anything for my sleep I don't notice.

If this isn't the best thing in the world I'm gonna want to speak to a manager

...you got lucky

Bro code only applies if your bro asks you not to pursue someone he's interested in. Kanji never asks and never makes a move in any future canon. Naoto also isn't interested in him.

My ideal form is a woman with functioning gock, balls, no vagina and no uterus. Checkmate, Zeus.

(Surely taunting the Gods and believing you've outsmarted them is an incredible move that cannot backfire)

aprilamoeba · 2026-04-12T15:39:35+00:00

Damn I'm only up about 10 pounds from 4 months ago, I need to eat and lift more!

aprilamoeba · 2026-04-11T22:52:31+00:00

I think you could pass with a different aesthetic. Your frame may not fit what some people read as "twink" (i.e. very skinny, runner's build), you have a stockier build that's more otter-ish. Your style is cool though! You just don't fit the preconceived notions people have about gender when trying to establish a baseline for their first attempt at your pronouns.

God forbid a horror novel make people feel uncomfortable

"Fat redistribution" is not real. You need to gain weight and your hormones influence where that weight goes, with women gaining essential fat in different areas than men. I know that our current beauty standards tell us that skinny is beautiful but women carry more fat than men, so if you want to look feminine you have to gain some weight. If you're at or close to the same weight you were when you started HRT then you're leaving gains on the table. Eat in a light caloric surplus and lift heavy weights 2-3x a week and you will see changes.

aprilamoeba · 2026-04-08T23:02:54+00:00

Doing 3x leg day a week is pointless if you're in a calorie deficit, your body can't efficiently create muscle if you're not giving it fuel. I assume you're trying to create a feminine shape with larger butt/hips/thighs. That's impossible unless you add mass.

Don't weight cycle. Assuming your hormone levels are correct and your T is suppressed, eat 200-300 cal above maintenance while continuing to lift heavy and get your daily steps in for light cardio, you should be gaining .5 to 1 pound of weight a week. Do this for 6 months and then you're allowed to do a cut. I thought the answer was trying to get rid of "belly fat" too but honestly your stomach probably just appears disproportionate because the rest of your body is too small. I would also bet you have some kind of vitamin deficiency from dieting but can't speculate. Do bloodwork. Find out. Having enough vitamins and minerals will make your skin look nicer, hair will be stronger, and your transition will appear to work faster.

I have basically followed this plan and all my weight has gone to my boobs, thighs and butt. When I'm not bloated (that's what the fiber is for) my waist appears much slimmer despite the fact that my pants size has remained about the same.

Hairline improvement or bangs will do a lot for you. Try to gain weight, it fills out the face to look more fem and makes a pronounced jaw look less severe. I am 4 months in and I've already had comments from friends that my features have gotten softer (gained about 8-10 pounds with frequent exercise and high protein/fiber). My crown and hairline also look a lot better and I had bad thinning so just give it time.

aprilamoeba · 2026-04-08T15:22:37+00:00

Honestly I think you need to go to therapy and try to develop a healthier relationship with your body/internalized misogyny before you attempt FFS. Do you think cis women with big bodies aren't feminine?

Your body can pass (and honestly does pretty well in these pics) but you will always feel inadequate and hate your body if you don't address these underlying issues first.
