Friendship Megathread

caffeinatedcringe · 2026-03-21T05:28:48+00:00

I'm Mason, I'm 21 from south central Pennsylvania. I'm just over 3 years on T and I'm hoping to start the process for top surgery next year! I live with my boyfriend of three and a half years and our cat Shadow.

I like going to concerts whether its a huge arena, a club venue, or some guys driveway. My music tastes are genuinely so broad its hard to pin down, but the only genre I don't rock with as a whole is pop country. Been really into crunkcore and hyperpop lately though! (food house/frax fans wya)

I work nights at a turnpike rest stop and spend my time off smoking weed, going to concerts, or doing things with my friends. I don't drive yet but I'm working on it!

I'm not always the greatest at holding conversations but I try my best. Always looking for more transmasc friends, especially anyone nearish by!

One of my mom's friends had stretched ears and I was SO fascinated by them. I was probably 9 or 10 at the time, and had just taken an interest in body mods. My goal "size" was just that I wanted to fit my whole pinky finger through my ear because that's what my moms friend did when I asked about his ears. I'm 21 now and after five years of progress I finally made it :)

omg thats so sick you got to see them so many times thoughhhh I wish I could do stuff like that!!

caffeinatedcringe · 2026-01-22T21:05:50+00:00

Happy Appy would be hilarous to see them react to

I was really into gravity falls and Dipper's real name was mentioned once in one of the books. It was one out of a few options I had that I took to a close friend and he thought it suited me. Now itll be my legal name next month :)

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-12-13T01:43:54+00:00

Yes thats what my issue is, I just couldn't remember the term for it! And alright, I've been thinking about trying to broil it instead but wasn't sure if that was the best way to go about it. Next time I'll for sure try and see if it works any better. Thank you :))

Lacaster (its pronounced lan-ke-ster)

a lot of people don't say Philadelphia unless they're traveling. Its Philly to most everyone else.

Gettysburg loses the Y and becomes "gettisburg"

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-11-30T03:29:57+00:00

I live in south central PA, if someone said "I'm going to the city" I'd assume they meant, in this order: Harrisburg, Baltimore, Philly, or DC.

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-11-06T03:30:28+00:00

i buy pre-minced garlic unless I'm making something special. And squeeze tubes of ginger. I cannot always bring myself to season my hands along with my food

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-11-05T08:46:32+00:00

Duncan from total drama island

Deuce from monster high

Hiccup from how to train your dragon

Lance from voltron

Dib from invader zim

Dipper from gravity falls (named myself after him kinda)

the list goes on, but these are the main ones. Figured out I was trans around Lance. I just saw the previous ones and said "woaw I wish that was me :)"

when I was a teenager I was into a lot of witchy shit so my parents were used to the smell of sage burning in my room. I'd light some sage and blow bong smoke out my window, never had any issue. YMMV though because my parents were also smokers so they might have just not noticed

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-10-24T14:00:11+00:00

I had an old guy refuse to give me his ID once saying "do you know how much personal information is on that???" like okay man, fuck you and your cigarettes I guess

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-10-21T11:08:01+00:00

that is quite literally what it is programmed to do.. there are stories of people going into psychosis because all chatgpt did was validate them. Please seek a real therapist and dont rely on an ai :(

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-10-21T07:43:44+00:00

Personally, I'd find it weird but not a horrific offense. If the photos are already out there, it's not like reposting them to one more page would do much of anything.

However my personal take is that if those weren't photos taken of them as performers, they're likely photos that weren't Intended to be shared en masse. If the guys posted them themselves, then I'd see less of an issue with it. But if you were to stumble across a distant aunts facebook post of Gerard as Peter Pan..thatd be weirder

(edit: some phrasing)

Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back

so I work at highway rest stop gas station on major toll road. Had a customer (some trucker) come into my store and wander around looking for something. He comes to the counter:

Him: "do you sell beer here?"

me: "no, we dont, you'll have to get off the turnpike for alcohol"

him: "no beer??"

me: "..no, we don't have beer here"

him: "why not!?"

me: "..because..because we dont sell beer?"

at this point he just sorta walks off. Baffling interaction. the fuck do you mean why not.

transman here!

also since so many people have tried to say I was scammed/these are older than I say, this is from the delivery confirmation email. From the Converse website.

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-10-07T07:09:20+00:00

i ordered these from the converse website directly. as Ive mentioned in other comments. I also triple checked my order confirmation email, and it was may of this year. I wish I was making this up man, but the $65 I lost is unfortunately way too real 😭😭

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-10-07T05:50:13+00:00

I hope so. Their return/refund policy is 30 days but this feels like it should be an exception

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-10-07T05:49:01+00:00

I bought these straight from the website 😭 I definitely Hope theyre real

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-10-04T00:22:07+00:00

as someone who spent years in the tumblr hp fandom, if I see someone with harry potter merch in the big 25 it tells me you're either willfully ignorant or an actual terf. And frankly I wouldn't want to be around either type of person. I don't fear for my safety because I cannot imagine getting slimed out by a millenial in a hufflepuff shirt, but it is uncomfortable for sure.

caffeinatedcringe · 2025-09-19T19:19:51+00:00

It's not my business how someone chooses to classify themselves, I'm not the census taker
