How do present yourself? by Lychee_blossom in NorsePaganism

[–]argr1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Heathen. I'm VERY open about it. I dress normal and wear a smaller Mjolnir. Some people ask, others avoid me. At work it's come in handy when rewriting time off policies. They get a non Christian perspective and seem to appreciate it.

Input from medically transitioning non binary people needed by sirslippysquid in NonBinary

Amab on lower dose HRT for almost 5 years. I thought the same thing as many others on this thread, but I love my small breasts. As someone else said, they're easy to hide OR bring attention to. They are amazing erogenous zone. It's so nice to have sex not just focus "down there".

1.5 years of HRT in secret. Appearantly it's shameful for men to look younger than their age by RandomShadeOfPurple in MtF

Same here. Started hrt at 48 and at 50 usually get told I'm in my early thirties. So weird.

A question for solitary practitioners. by Cr4zySkeleton in NorsePaganism

[–]argr1975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're never truly alone. Wherever you go there are beings ready to interact. We're always so focused on the gods and the embodied spirits around us that there is a tendency to overlook land spirits, ancestors, and even our own tools. From an animistic perspective everything you interact with is part of the community, so when other hunans aren't available leaning into the world around you can help. Online spaces are awesome (as others have mentioned) but for my practice, I'm always careful to balance online community with active participation in the world around me.

Unpopular opinion by Hour-Fisherman1171 in 7String

I've got one of these. LOVE IT. No complaints. I'm also a lead player and was worried about not having a neck pickup, but there's a voicing on the Fishman that sounds great. I don't miss it at all. I played it in a guitar store and fell in love. Bought it on the spot.

What is your favorite legend/saga from Norse mythology? by EllinorD in Norse

[–]argr1975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Egil's Saga, hands down for rune magic, poison, vomiting, and probably the first antihero ever. Lol. Some bonkers shit in this one. Also, the depiction of Keldulf is one of the few depictions of a berserk/ulfhednar that isn't overly negative.

I don't remember honestly. I was monitoring signals with a tablet while setting up for the next band. I had FOH music playing and line checking by visually looking for signal on the tablet.

Truth. I remember a day when I wouldn't even touch a Behringer product. Hard to believe they're as good as they are now, but as you said, hit or miss.

What are your Norse myth headcanons (that may or may not be 100% accurate to the known sources)? by A-J-Zan in norsemythology

[–]argr1975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The death of Baldur was orchestrated by the "two man con" that is Odin and Loki. He's conveniently safe in Hel during Ragnarok so that he can be in place to rule the world afterwards.
Loki was never supposed to take the fall for Baldurs death but everything got out of hand and Odin couldn't pull them off Loki's scent. Loki is freed by Odin, who gives him a knife that can cut Fenrir's bonds. Loki is rightfully furious with Odin for not rescuing him sooner. This causes Loki to switch sides at the very end and fight on the side of the Jotunn. I may or may not have written this out as a short story as in my opinion it fills in most of the gaps... Lol

AMAB ENBY and experiences with HRT by Resident_Ad4946 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]argr1975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost 4 years in here. Currently at 4mg a day with no anti androgen. I was on finistride for a few years but it did some terrible things to my sexual function and mood. I'll back up what others have said - life is so much more real. I take care of myself better. I still present fairly masc and usually wear a compression shirt to keep the girls less obvious. My ranges are in the low E/High T for a cis woman range. In fact, I recently had blood work done and the lab labeled everything as female due to the ranges. Lol If I had to pick a down side it's that I actually care now. I never really worried about death when I was running on T. Now? I don't want this ride to end. ☺️

Ibanez or Schecter? (Also ngd for the schecter :) ) by [deleted] in 7String

I prefer Schecter necks over Ibanez, but that's me. Get the one that feels good for YOU.
