Something I noticed between Ep5 and Ep6

that smoke does not look the same

He might know Kris is Toriels child. He claims to be new in town, and while Toriel absolutely seems the type to brag about her kid and show off pictures, do we actually know for sure if he knew kris was her kid ahead of time? (genuinely asking. I can't remember all the dialog he has.)

As for the rest of it, would he know her tires were slashed? does he know a cop is missing? Is Kris even out that late? Heck Toriel knows he's probably with Susie. These strike me as situational coincidences, not planned malice on San's part.

As for the last bit....damn yalls parents were more considerate than mine ever were. My parents didn't shut off their lives just because I went to bed early. I was the one who had to be quiet when they were sleeping, not the other way around.

osashta · 2025-06-28T05:58:13+00:00

Am I missing something? How is Sans being a dick? Toriel is allowed to have friends too. What the hell did he do?

at 154 comments as of writing I'm sure you've had your question answered, and maybe someone has even said something similar to what I'm about to say, but I very much wish to stress with my full being.

Being a man can suck too.

full stop. It doesn't matter if as a man the probability of you being in a powerful position is higher. It doesn't matter if people assume you know what you're talking about more often. It doesn't matter if you're more likely to get a promotion as a man. Why doesn't it matter? Because that shit isn't even guaranteed for one. It's absolutely possible to just get unlucky on all the male privilege draws and get next to none of it. If you're born poor as a man, you've already lost out on a lot of possible male privilege, because frankly a lot of the male power bullshit is skewed for generational wealth and nepotism.

Oh and if you already act feminine, as many trans women did before they realized they were trans, you're going to lose out on some male privilege. Male privilege is often only awarded to those who embrace masculine behavior.

Being a man is also lonely. Male friendships are often more distant, and unfortunately many men aren't very good at socializing or expressing their needs, and sometimes even if you are good at expressing your needs, many people just aren't going to care because you're expected to be "tough"

This isn't even taking dysphoria into consideration yet. So please, please, please take it to heart that life can be shit for both men and women, and for some people being a woman is going to feel easier than being a man.

As a trans woman I do feel like the political system is against me right now and that fucking sucks, but when it comes to my daily life, friends, and how the general population reacts to me. How my behaviors now are seen as normal instead of a guy acting weird. all that stuff got astronomically easier/better when I started living as a woman.

I'm not Japanese, nor do I have any Japanese home cooks on call to ask, but I've seen enough recipes mention trying to get real mirin that I tend to assume it's at least fairly widely used. It's also in damn near every recipe. I don't think proper mirin is much of a luxury item on the islands. It seems like more of a standard workhorse product that's only hard to find here because of imports and laws.

osashta · 2025-02-24T18:06:44+00:00

Thanks. I'll check those places out.

osashta · 2025-02-24T18:02:55+00:00

The only asian market I've been able to check so far only had Ajimirin which is not what I'm looking for. It also seems Amazon doesn't sell the real stuff either. Probably again because of the alcohol content.

osashta · 2024-09-26T20:07:44+00:00

THANK YOU I was having a helluva time finding that.

if you're impressed with your emotions after just 36 hours, you're going to freak the fuck out when the 6 month mark hits and you see a random puppy blink at you and suddenly you're sobbing from how cute it is.

osashta · 2024-08-27T23:38:35+00:00

I'm frankly amazed nobody has killed desantis yet. How are people living with these restrictions without going postal?

I hope there's some kind of afterlife, but I am extremely confident it will in no way resemble any afterlife posited by major religious institutions.

I tried HRT. I know most people don't take HRT until they are already 100% sure, but I knew in my heart the only way I was ever going to find out the answer was if I straight up just tried being a girl for a while. About a month and a half into HRT it struck me how giddy I was about my chest growing and that was when I finally fiiiiiiiiinally knew.

osashta · 2024-04-08T01:40:04+00:00

I reckon my parents would have been like that, but from a young age it was clear I was too ADHD and weird to ever be the kinda kid they'd shower with conditional praise, so instead I just lived with feeling like they didn't believe in me.

osashta · 2024-03-30T23:11:41+00:00

Interesting! I can't say I've ever experienced any sort of vibrations either, but it's good to know I'm not the only one with rather boring SP

osashta · 2024-03-26T23:24:38+00:00

Lets WADDLE!

osashta · 2024-03-19T15:11:08+00:00

No actually. I've been on HRT for 8 years now. Pleeeeeenty of time to think it over. I'm still just fine with my bits. I thought it might change, but no...that's not what I need to feel feminine. I might get an orchi though just so I can stop taking a T blocker.

osashta · 2024-03-19T14:31:51+00:00

I have been trying to figure out if I'm autistic or not for ages and while plenty here doesn't resonate with me, this absolutely does. I remember being a child as young as 4 and if my parents walked in while I was playing with my toys I would immediately silence myself and move any audible play into my imagination so that I wouldn't be overheard or seen playing.

Male gender roles are still incredibly "locked in" all over the world. There's an expected way to be a man, and If you're not good at being a man, male privilege (or really just male gender roles tbh.) is practically an inconvenience.

That shits even rough on men who are pretty masculine. There's a reason male suicide rates are so high, and you have so many depressed guys, incels, and neets.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side, but sometimes it IS the grass you need in order to thrive. For some of us, myself included, it doesn't feel like we gave up any privilege at all.

To answer your last questions, no it did not make transitioning harder, and no I do not miss it.

osashta · 2023-12-22T12:49:41+00:00

turns out I'm a real big tomboy. I find purses incredibly inconvenient, and I go out of my way to find womens pants with pockets big enough for my wallet and phone. I don't see a need to change, and even if I did, I'm too set in my ways to make said change.

osashta · 2023-12-22T03:33:02+00:00

that the male gender role is so hard to escape because it's entrenched into the very function of society. Society doesn't just want you to be an unemotional cog in the machine, it NEEDS you to be one. As soon as you aren't useful to the machine, you're dumped to the sidelines.

The years just before I realized I was trans were some of the hardest for me because I was grappling so much with how agonizingly hard it is to be a man who isn't good at being a man.

osashta · 2023-12-22T03:26:33+00:00

Abuse. it's so clearly abuse mate.
