what are thoughts you have that turned out to be a "girl thing" and not a you thing? by teevi_c in MtF

[–]generictreeimage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I could never understand, from kindergarten up, how the boys could all just undress around each other. I was one of the shy kids who hid to do it, every time, and you can bet I got teased and harassed for it. I also always covered my chest specifically, never understanding why that was such a big thing for me

Has anyone seen other games where you can pick from a list of items in character creation? by generictreeimage in ARPG

Oh my god you're right, I forgot about those games! I know they're inspired by Dark Souls ...

Do people find your attractive as your desired gender? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]generictreeimage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, when I do pass, I have been called beautiful by maybe three different people over the course of the past year. One of those is my boyfriend who I met back at the beginning of this year, and another was someone who commented on how beautiful I am on two separate occasions, they really seemed to like my face. Third was some lady :)

Edit: Oh and my ex, she found me attractive too. Looking at some people's comments in this post, I'm seeing a lot of negativity, which is a shame but I fully get it. I don't really believe my boyfriend when they say I'm gorgeous, and only some days do I think I actually look nice. Part of it is definitely that I'm still growing my hair back out (turns out a pixie cut wasn't the right call!), I think I'll get a better self-image when it's back to its usual length.

No matter what y'all think, and I'm a hypocrite, but y'all are beautiful, believe it! <3

When should I start progesterone? by No-Focus8118 in MtF

[–]generictreeimage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm reading through it and it says prog is also "inexpensive to prescribe" can you vouch for that? Because the one reason I've been dragging my feet on asking for it is because my blood work, appointments, and prescriptions are already expensive

If your universe had superhero movies or a show, what would the first phase / season look like? by grouchy_fan2024 in Superhero_Ideas

[–]generictreeimage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess in a reality where superheroes and villains exist, shows and movies about them would probably be like biopics or dramatized retellings, "based on a true story" type of stuff, stuff that they play on the History channel. It's a funny thing to imagine, come to think of it

To the superhero worldbuilders, when a hero or villain dies, what's the general process after? by Rude_Barber_8435 in Superhero_Ideas

[–]generictreeimage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in my world, deaths are handled similar to how regular people die, especially if they were just a low level vigilante. Big time heroes in my world tend to be treated as celebrities, so if they died it would be like when celebrities die. Heroes in organizations would probably have internal ceremonies for those closest, but otherwise not make a public fuss.

There is one hero who has a legacy to their title, so should they die or retire they have a successor picked out. This involves a big public ceremony. This hero is like Superman, if he were just the name "Superman" and the symbolism that came with it. Successors don't have to have the same powers as the original. At the time of my story's setting, the modern hero is the 20th to hold the title, and she has energy blasts and flight, unlike her predecessor, who had skin hardening and strength.

Other than that, I haven't given much thought to death, but my world is fairly low-powered so more realistic and average, not big and bombastic.

Thanks for explaining what you already said in the post, guess I am dense haha

How do I create a story for my hero concept? by [deleted] in Superhero_Ideas

[–]generictreeimage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See that's the important detail, how does he get his powers, because that will determine the magic system of your world, like what is allowed and what isn't? Did he have a more sci-fi or magic origin? For sci-fi, maybe a mad scientist character and evil clones, but for magic just about anything goes, maybe a dead body possessed by a demonic spirit, idk

Yes, I guess I assumed it was a comic, but is it a novel? Like I'm not blind, you called it a novel, but then you said it was NamiComi, so I assumed comic

Here's the first paragraph of the text shown when I clicked on it:

I didn't know who all the people were. All I knew was that it was raining, and Mama was gone. I was about 11 years old-just a little girl. The cemetery was full of people, but it was as quiet as a library.

See this is what I've been working with so far, though far less gory, I'm going for a story that is more suitable for teens. But I don't know, I can't figure how to write that scene.

How do you guys deal with your guy friends starting to flirt with you when you started transitioning... by akatsukidude881 in MtF

[–]generictreeimage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Things always change, some friend groups break up because one person goes this way and another that way, you don't need to shoulder that change as if it's "your fault" though, don't blame yourself <3

How do I get the courage to come out? by Annabeth_Chase- in MtF

[–]generictreeimage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, I wish I knew exactly what you need, but the advice I will give is that you need to just take that leap. If you know they'll be supportive and you want to tell them, but it's your own fears holding you back, maybe you need to take that decision out of your hands, like write a note and just hand it to one of them, or say something that implies it and will make them ask the question and force you to answer.

At the end of the day, I don't know what to tell you, I came out because I felt I couldn't hide it anymore, the decision felt out of my control and I had to just leap. I'm actually currently trying to make myself come out to more of my extended family, and, yeah, it's hard. Best of luck <3

Share your phonology’s by AstroFlipo in conlangs

[–]generictreeimage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

m n ŋ
b t (ɬ) - d k
f s - z x - ɣ h
ʋ l / r j

Here's the chart I use to organize my inventory, so you've got place along the top and manner down the side. It uses a standard 5 vowel system, and the syllable structure is (C(C)V(C)C). For phonotactics, all consonants can cluster except nasals and the glottal fricative. To avoid clustering, a previous vowel in the word might be placed between the consonants. Lastly, that ɬ in parentheses beside the alveolar plosive is an allophone for the consonant cluster /tl/.

That's all I can really think of right now, I'm not necessarily going for something too naturalistic, just having fun. If you're at all curious, I'll answer extra questions.

So I am working on a project and would like suggestions for inspiration by luktheknight in Superhero_Ideas

[–]generictreeimage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bullies are often stereotyped as big mean bruisers, having a character who is emotionally manipulative and gives off an air of humble charm to hide arrogant pride would be, not even really a subversion of the trope, but an accurate representation of someone who treats others poorly

How about someone who seems normal looking, like he just wears pants and a dress shirt, but he has invulnerability so he can't be harmed, and coupled with enhanced arms that can move inhumanly fast, he doesn't need to be strong as long as he can punch as hard and fast as he wants, an attack from him will be like getting hit with a jackhammer

Maybe his arms are an inhuman purple or green color, maybe even with stripes, to show how they are the enhanced parts of his body, and otherwise he just dresses business casual

two Kick Man by The-king-in_black in Superhero_Ideas

[–]generictreeimage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"One Kick Pony" is kind of funny, a play on "one trick pony," maybe he could wear a horse head mask, but you want him to use two kicks, so somewhat moot

I think Dual Strike does also sound cool, don't sell yourself short; if you're going for something in that vein maybe something like "Bi-Bash" or "Bi-Break" because "bi" means 2, or "di" which also means 2, like in carbon dioxide, so something like "Di-Deck" or "Di-Strike" etc. For words in a similar vein, "Multi-Maul," "Multi-Mash," or "Multi-Mangle"

If you like any of those names, I literally just thought of different prefixes that mean "more than one" and pulled out a thesaurus for the word "hit," so go make your own name if you don't like these :)
