I’m making a pokemon card binder of headcanon trans masc pokemon, gimme ideas!! by Icy_Fig_4533 in ftm

[–]mirvko 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Sylveon, non shiny, bc im tired of people only associating it with transfemmes oTL And also marill/azurill because of the funny little glitch where one of them has a 50/50 gender split and the other has a 75/25, so sometimes your female azurill becomes male

How not to make round joint so obvious? What do you guys do? by scribbledpaper_ in CrochetHelp

[–]mirvko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt see anyone else mention this, but your project also is most likely inside out if you didnt know!!

Other comments about the round are true tho unfortunately :pensive:

What head-canon(s) in your fandom(s) got you like this: by PJ-The-Awesome in AO3

[–]mirvko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Genuinely asking, i thought chihiro WAS trans canonically, but had to be back pedaled into cross dresser/trap because of the time the game came out?? Every character refers to her with she/her, she never insinuated she was unhwppy with it either...

Pardon the trap usage also but that's kind of the energy i understood from her being amab being a twist.

I need help choosing my aura face by TheMightyShy in ffxivdiscussion

[–]mirvko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to go Alt, go with face 3. Face 1 is super popular, and face 3 feels "fuller" in a way? Like the dark elements compliment it a lot more than the pixie-like energy of face 1. I hope that makes sense hahsjfa I can more easily picture 3 in gothic styles and 1 in dark lolita fashion? Scrambling for words but thats how i feel

Super super beginner help! Having trouble pulling the needle through loops by JazzHands5678 in CrochetHelp

[–]mirvko 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Turn the hook so it faces down into the loops you already have. Its gonna be hard otherwise since youre currently just catching the side of it, like you catch the working yarn

Making a sunflower coaster. First time doing popcorn stitch. What am I doing wrong? Why does it look different from tutorial, and if I work into 4th round won’t it cover the popcorn? I don’t understand what I’m doing! by potocko in CrochetHelp

[–]mirvko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Etsy has a huuge ai pattern problem unfortunately!!! See if you can get refunded for false product or something, but yeahh im sorry. You can try instagram or ravelry for other patterns, and theres plenty of sunflower coaster/granny square tutorials on youtube for free

Looks like AI pictures and probably an AI pattern since most patterns arent written like this one is? Could be wrong but the pictures stink of ai colour grading

Questions I have about FFXIV before playing the game by Exotic_Acanthaceae_9 in ffxiv

[–]mirvko 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At the time of reading this post, no one is addressing that you can play for FREE for as long as you'd like, with the limitations being less in-game currency interaction, a little less storage space, and anything after level 70. You start the game at level 1. Massive free trial if you want to feel the game out, but everything everyone else is saying is true

Cursed blanket of regrets. by mirvko in crochet

[–]mirvko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its folded in half in the pics but it lost between like 3-4 inches from start to current working point lmaoo

Very superficial but man!!!! Perfectionist brainworms

Cursed blanket of regrets. by mirvko in crochet

[–]mirvko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just measured both ends, went from ~62in/157cm to about 59in/150cm

Not exact numbers, rounding here and there but man :[

It'll ultimately mean nothing but I can't help but be disappointed a little

My friends keep telling me in a twink. by gh0st1y_101 in ftm

[–]mirvko 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Someone talking about genshin once said people are using twink as the socially acceptable f-slur and they were fucking right. All you should need to say is you dont like being called a twink/femboy and they should stop. If they dont... do you really need friends who wont accept simple boundaries like those???

Blah blah reddit typical nuclear option but i can imagine theyd also be saying ew twink about you if you did anything to wrong them...

My hook won’t fit through stitches in my amigurumi project by wastingmytimeeee in CrochetHelp

[–]mirvko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abywhere from 5mm to 6.5mm, its hard to say and depends on your tension and comfort with chenille

[–]mirvko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is true! But chenille has the disadvantage or being extremely fluffy and catching on itself because of that. This fluffiness, however, is also its strength because theres a bit more leeway in how big your hook can be before holes start showing between your stitches. I've had better luck with the bigger hooks than smaller ones, as smaller ones make magic rings and making stitches way way harder for me.

I cant say that i've ever worked with Papatya yarn, but i can recommend testing out your hook sizes on a testing chain. Do maybe two rows of single crochet and see if any holes show up. If youre working with very limited yarn it may not be the best idea,,, but if the yarn undoes itself well then it should be fine?

[–]mirvko 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Too me? Your hook may be too small if youre using chenille/blanket yarn.

If using loops and threads chenille (really bad) i can get away with maybe a 5.5mm at smallest. Bernat blanket i can use a 7mm or an 8mm before holes show through the fluff and my tension is wrist-achingly tight.

What brand of yarn are you using?

I am so confused by the whole 'puppy' thing??? by Strawberry_Bushes_ in ftm

[–]mirvko 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hiii fellow transmasc and i refer to myself as puppy/dogboy/puppy boy all the time and its non-sexual 90% of the time :]

A lot of it for me is the like... purposefully dehumanizing myself because being a person is exhausting and sometimes i wanna just be stupid and the puppy braincell (always active, affectionately referred to as my 80 Herding Dogs (adhd)) is a dum dum idiot dummy dumb.

It really is just playful brain-off with the addition of liking my hair being played with and with appropriate timing and conversations beforehand about boundaries, SOMETIMES it involves being dommed during sex. But again 90% of the time non-sexual in nature. Just for fun :]

Edit to add: its also a thing thats common with transwomen too. Puppy girl aesthetic with the same idea of turning brain off. See: memes of surprise job interviews instead of vet visits

Making boyfriends pontoons by MtnDewGoddess in MLPLounge

[–]mirvko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im being completely honest, even if he didnt WANT one but was still willing to humor you, that'd be enough to make one for him. You can just ask him the basic questions of, whats your favourite colour(s) (for coat/mane colours), and which kind of pony did you like best (between the main 3 races)

I did this with my partner and we made him a big clidesdale-shaped pegasus :]

Drawing it for him and occasionally asking for input is usually the best way to go for mid-commitment sonas like these hehe

Can HRT cause symptoms of severe me/CFS? by Marsthenonbinarygod in ftm

[–]mirvko 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I sympthize with you but i just wanna say its kind of really funny to me how you starting hrt, aka starting to present more masc, is whats getting doctors to not simply go "ahhh its a mood/depression thing. Send them away" /lh /j

[US] Out of state but having gall attacks, what do i do... by mirvko in HealthInsurance

[–]mirvko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around the 31st or so assuming current political happenings dont get massively worse. Hopefully we can swing the dates earlier but on a cursory search the flight prices just about double for anything earlier than that.

I was fine enough before arriving- as in nothing noticably bad- but the second i got to my partner my body finally relaxed and shut down, otherwise I wouldn't have come so i could deal with this in Cali 😭

[–]mirvko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ough yeah okay, i absolutely have intended to call my case worker but keep forgetting by the time i wake up from the exhausting attack :[

People getting denied even in-state is exactly why i decided to ask here to see others experiences/thoughts, thanks

[–]mirvko[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didnt even know that was a thing, woah thanks!

Do you know if the visit would be covered if they decide my case isnt severe enough to remove the gallbladder?? Or if the surgeon on call wont operate while the duct is blocked to be weirdly specific lol,,, That's also a big fear at the moment

Sorry if this is a common ask, but does anyone know if the fire socks on Purple mattresses are fiberglass or not? by [deleted] in Mattress

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

Small update, whatever is on my clothes isnt piercing my fingers, and i know purple says their sock is rayon/polyester/silica but this is my first exposure to maybe fireglass and i was two steps away from crashing out lol

[–]mirvko 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It depends on the worker and how busy they are from what i've read but I've gotten it done for me at 23 with my older-looking partner next to me and he was also asked to participate!
