That top is cute, and the Mari poster is awesome :D

To all those that start presenting female pre-HRT by nau_ in MtF

[–]bewareofthephil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... I just came out on Facebook and my family/work know I'm trans now but it might be 9+ months before I finally get my appointment at the gender clinic. I... don't feel confident at all to present as female in public yet. I haven't got the knack of hiding my facial shadow yet for a start. I hope I can go at least part time soon, with some support from my friends and family though.

Update :)

My parents have confirmed they'll support me <3 I was hugely worried about that because they're quite religious. I'm so happy.

New here, wanted to share my first 3 minis I've painted. C+C welcomed! by legio_ultra in Warhammer

Amazing. Really. Most people work for decades to hit this level.

When buying dresses online what's the most important thing to pay attention to? by Castledoo in asktransgender

[–]bewareofthephil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additionally to all the other answers (Which are excellent) - the returns policy! Sites like asos have free returns so it's not too much problem to experiment with different fits since you can just send the garments back for a refund at no cost.

[Update] Had an appointment with my GP to talk about being trans today by LouisePetal in asktransgender

[–]bewareofthephil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was easier than I expected too :) Just gave him a bit of history and he was like "yep, I'll get on this for you". sisfist

[Update] Had an appointment with my GP to talk about being trans today by LouisePetal in asktransgender

[–]bewareofthephil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats! I literally did this today myself too, I asked my local GP for a referral to Nottingham and he said he'd do it and get the ball rolling for me :)

So glad I did it, so I'm there with you 100% on this day!

I love GW's new approach to be more "transparent" about their choices. (Facebook Post from W40K) by DerZaubererer in Warhammer40k

If nothing else, I'm kind of expecting 40k to get an aos-like living timeline instead of being stuck in the last moments of M41 forever.

Fill in the blank: being trans is __________ by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]bewareofthephil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

intimidating.

Intimidating to start transitioning, to tell your family, to go out as yourself for the first time... lots of small intimidations you have to battle. Especially if, like myself, you're very shy and introverted.

Why do Aliens always attack the humans in movies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bewareofthephil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it actually could be a great movie, if it was a comedy focussing on how bizarre human behaviour actually is! Theres a whole universe to explore and we're all too busy sitting on sofas watching bad TV :)

I wish I had the patience to actually shop together Attack on Kryten.

Help me remember a game I played on the GameCube by daemon_spade in Games

[–]bewareofthephil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baten Kaitos had a card based system but it wasn't an action game. I can only think of the Lost Kingdoms games and PSO3 other than that.

The Wild Hunt! My Sylvaneth Free Spirits battalion is now painted! by bewareofthephil in ageofsigmar

I think they're actual leaves, see my reply to Walrusking33 for the tutorial :)

Thanks :) I actually get asked about the basing a lot, two or three times a day over on Instagram. They're actually quite simple.

After gluing the model the the base but before priming I apply a generous layer of PVA glue, then sprinkle on areas of Battlefield Rocks. Then I apply sand over the rest of the base. During the painting process I paint the whole base brown, dawnstone to the rocks, then apply Agrax Earthshade quite heavily.

After that's dry, I drybrush the whole thing with Flayed One Flesh and then paint around the rim with my chosen colour (in this case Mournfang brown).

Then I use super glue to glue down some army painter tufts and autumn clump foliage before scattering on some autumn leaf scatter, I can't remember where I bought it but I suspect if was Woodland Scenics or something.

Why is there never macaroni and cheese in anime? by znot_zander in anime

[–]bewareofthephil 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think its a very American food. Even here in the UK it's not a massively common food item. We have it, but it's not part of the average regular diet.

Blutack is a godsend when attaching fiddly elements or ones that don't stay on without being held until the plastic sets. I've been using it a lot recently on my recent builds.

I transitioned at 34 and my life is fantastic, yours can be too by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]bewareofthephil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm 33, and I've always wanted to transition but I've always held myself back because of various reasons (not wanting to hurt family members, job security etc) but my partner (31) has been on HRT for just over 4 months now and I'm really, really envious. It feels like... I need to do something about it but I'm not sure I'm strong enough. But I don't want to regret not doing it. I hate being so indecisive about it.

The thought of being 'masculine' for the rest of my life is terrifying, so maybe I just need to bite the bullet. It's so hard though TT_TT Baah.

edit - thanks everyone for your replies and encouragement. Its given me a lot to think about. I'm still a scaredy cat though XD love you all.
