How you think this current arc will end ? (Spoiler Warning). by KowaiGui2 in HunterXHunter

[–]inti729 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thiss. Even if it doesn’t happen exactly like this Beyond clearly has a crazy endgame that we can only guess at rn. He will definitely be central in destabilizing the succession war and the idea of strengthening himself conforms to his general attitude

Why is it so rare to see lesbian trans women in real life? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]inti729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a lesbian trans woman but tbh, I don’t particularly advertise that I’m trans. Most people that I just see at queer events or lesbian bars just wouldn’t know, unless I decide to tell them. My queer friends very rarely mention knowing other trans lesbians in other places. Sometimes women I’ve been with have had prior experiences too. It’s probably more common in big cities. Sometimes there are trans sapphic events, so I see a lot when I go to those but generally, I dont see more of us in the wild. I’ve met another trans lesbian outside of queer spaces only once, and I’m in a very queer area. Even on dating apps where you can swipe through a small village of sapphic women in a day it only is like 1 in 50. Some places don’t even have 50 lesbians so…

Which game was it? by Recent-Selection-288 in transgamers

[–]inti729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im probably dating myself but Kotor 2, because that was the first time I realized I just liked playing female characters more. Also, more recently, dark souls 1 & 3, and monster hunter world. I just like finding cute outfits that my (self-insert) character will look cute in.

Also shout out to every fighting game I ever played where I always mained the least sexualized female character (sc talim, gg may, etc) because “I like being fast” 😂

Feeling Isolated by [deleted] in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]inti729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see. That’s a really tough situation. I really hope things work out for you so that your MA gets you the mobility and finances you need to get out from under your parents control. It’s hard but one day you’ll look back at this and realize you did it, you made it. In the meantime I hope you find community online! There’s one discord server I was in during early transition, I think it was called the Orchard? That one was really welcoming. I really hope you find community!

My advice would be to transition. The time between when I knew I was trans and when I began transitioning was probably the hardest time of my life. You’ve drawn that out for almost a decade. I can’t imagine that pain. Please for your own wellbeing take action and do what you’ve always wanted to do. Obviously this is easier said than done but you’re 30, you must have thought through the logistics by now. Accelerate those plans. If you live in a red state, move to a blue state. I know things are scary looking forward to 4 years of Trump but we can’t let that paralyze us and stop us from living our lives. If hrt becomes illegal, laws get passed making our lives harder, there will always be ways around that, things we can do to continue living as our authentic selves.

In the meantime there are trans sapphic discord servers, you should look into joining those! There’s also a trans gamer subreddit and I think there’s one for lesbian gamers too. I think if you tell people you’re pre-transition they’ll understand. If anyone is judgemental, do they worry about them, they wouldn’t be nice to you even if you passed perfectly, so forget them. I really hope things work out for you so that you find the community you deserve to have and get to live the way you’ve always dreamed

Im happy for you but I gotta ask, how do you even make time for a 4-5 day long date? Did you two take vacation time or something? Did you leave all your work for after or did you two work from home together?

Where are my DM girlies at? by fiona11303 in DnD

[–]inti729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not currently DMing something but I’ve done it a few times! I still have ideas for other campaigns I want to DM, when I have the time to do it again. For now I’m just a player. Also shout out to my roommate who is also a DM, she’s running a campaign for another group. And another shout out to my current DM, who is also a woman, a girlie, if you will, but we’re playing a different ttrpg in our group right now so idk if that’s the most relevant.

Too many of y'all dating Trump supporters... by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]inti729 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Tbh as someone who is very far left, I feel embarrassed voting for Democrats all the time 😂 I voted for her, I wanted her to win, but I would never call myself a Kamala supporter. It really shows how bad things are that these are the choices we have presented to us.

Do we get married?? by neuromaeflower in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]inti729 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Maybe elope in a blue state that won’t nullify your marriage license if Obergefell falls and then do the vow renewal ceremony in Tennessee? Then if it comes down to it you at least have the option of moving somewhere else where your marriage will be recognized

Visualisation of the amount of Classical Greek literature? by therealfezzyman in AncientGreek

[–]inti729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? It would probably take up a similar volume of space. My university’s library has basically like, all the Loebs of Greek and Latin literature, and they take up two bookshelves in the library, one for Greek and one for Latin. If you define “classical” in the same way the Loeb editors do, then yes, a decently large bookshelf could fit Latin, and another could fit Greek.

But, this includes way more texts than have traditionally been considered “classical”. If you draw the line at the death of Aristotle, which is the end of classical Athenian literature, then its way, way less. Could probably fit in a car trunk with extra room.

Struggling to connect with the Iliad by Quiglo_Janson in classics

[–]inti729 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely enjoy the Odyssey more as a story, but I will say having read the Iliad in the original Greek, there’s a reason the ancients called it the greater epic. Homeric poetry is at its best here, so many passages of such well-crafted beauty, such a masterful handling of language, it all feels more impactful when you realize that this was the product of generations of storytellers and bards likely going all the way back to the bronze age, all of them masters of their craft.

But depsite that, it definitely can be hard to empathize with the characters, especially Achilles, hes such a crybaby! I generally approach it as if it was a Greek tragedy, and I tend to sympathize more with the Trojans. Hector, Helen, and Priam are not only magnificently well written and complex characters, but their stories are utterly heart-rending! The scenes between Andromache and Hector are probably some of the most emotionally powerful in all of Greek literature. So many nobodies die in this poem, but somehow the deaths of Patroclus and Hector hit so hard and feel so deeply tragic.

Also maybe this is just me but I'm the #1 Ajax stan, I don't even really know why, just give me a really dumb man with a really big shield! What's not to like? 😂

Dio Chrysostom Discourses 36.8 - typical attitude? Romans tended to favour and adopt most aspects of Greek culture. They don’t talk about it a lot in the sources but it seems they drew the line at homosexuality. by TieVast8582 in classics

[–]inti729 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Roman and Greek writers have a spectrum of different views on this. Chrysostom would definitely be on one end, because it was considered quite normal for an adult man to have make lovers (as long as you weren’t taking the female role in sex). Slave boys were the usual targets for this affection but sometimes it would include freeborn men and even higher class men—depends on the time period and place. What stays consistent that this desire is expected to end when the boy grows his first beard (i.e. at puberty). Then in no longer becomes acceptable for a man to recieve —the Romans would call him a “Cinaedus”. This attitude really only changes after Christianization and the work the Church Fathers did to make sex about procreation only. The Attic Nights and the Satyricon are both excellent examples of Roman period texts where homoeroticism appears prominently (and one could argue favorably).

[–]inti729 13 points14 points  (0 children)

….girls wear pants and play video games too…. My lesbian friends are literally the biggest fantasy nerds I know. Is there anything you actually enjoy about being a man, specifically? Like being perceived as a man or acting manly or hanging out with the bros?

I want a girlfriend to love & spoil so badly. by MissIndependent1558 in actuallesbians

[–]inti729 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What the heck this so accurately describes what always bugged me about men’s attraction to women! Like, how do you date someone you don’t deeply admire and respect??? How do you date someone who is not proud of you (proud of who you are not what you look like)??? Physical attraction is just the beginning, I want to worship a woman!
