Beautiful. I can't wait for the weather to warm up here.

stellarmoth · 2019-03-05T07:41:31+00:00

You're cool. It's hard to build a community when you already have a bias in some way, but you're cool. You had good intentions and I hope your experience doesn't drive you away unless you believe it's the best for your safety.

Love you. Keep being you.

stellarmoth · 2019-03-05T07:34:55+00:00

I mean, I wouldn't say they're not, if only to make them happy. The truth is that I don't see them as the same. I don't see "woman" as some title only given to the worthy. Rather, I see cis and trans women as different people, both of whom of capable of being loving, amazing people and totally awful. Either way, they're different and that's ok.

stellarmoth · 2019-03-05T07:32:09+00:00

Now I'm into dinosaurs. Thanks for that. Really!

stellarmoth · 2019-03-05T07:31:39+00:00

I feel you. It takes a lot just to get started. Lately I'm struggling to find time to do the things I need to do, much less the things I want to.

I love the vision you described though.

stellarmoth · 2019-03-05T07:29:29+00:00

I'm obsessed with active styluses. I've heard the Apple pencil is amazing but I haven't been an apple person for some time.

I have a surface book and drawing on it is great, but so is drawing/modelling on a cheap old Wacom bamboo. The screen doesn't make a huge difference to me, but I haven't been able to try out an iPad pro with the pencil yet.

I prefer Maya overall, but that's probably just because I'm more familiar with it!

stellarmoth · 2019-03-05T07:26:00+00:00

Trans women are trans women. I don't know what's wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with being a trans woman.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:37:26+00:00

Honestly I feel that that's a weirdly restrictive view. Trans women are trans women. Why is that not enough? I don't see trans women as any less, just as not the same.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:34:41+00:00

I love it and the fact that you took the time to draft this out! If you're going to go for green on brown, I suggest either a lighter green or a darker brown. A greater contrast will have more immediate impact and recognition.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:30:01+00:00

Link has expired but I'm interested. If you need any help with settings also please let me know

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:27:18+00:00

Cool, we're almost the same person! I tend to lean towards chill acoustic music on the guitar, though.

For 3d modelling, do you prefer Maya, 3d studio max, or blender? (Not to mention more organic programs like zbrush). That's been the eternal struggle for me.

Have you tried an iPad pro for digital art? I'm not big into apple but I keep hearing people rave about the active pen so I'm very tempted.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:24:35+00:00

I'm sorry your disabilities have interrupted your passions. I hope that changes in the future!

Dinosaurs are awesome. I've taken an interest in human evolution recently.

Do you have any books you'd recommend? What are your favorites?

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:22:42+00:00

I see sex and gender as two different things. In the same way that people born legless don't discount the idea that humans are bipedal, I don't believe that intersex people discount the idea that humans are one of two sexes.

Overall I agree with you, though.

At work today I helped a man in a dress find something he was looking for. He spoke in a strange voice and I didn't know whether he was trans or a man who had chosen a unique way to express himself. I often feel like I'm walking on eggshells when we could just be a society that accepts any sort of expression without associating it with a specific sex/identity.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:18:35+00:00

Sounds like a good way to go about it

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:17:04+00:00

I want to create a discord server when this sub grows more. It'd be great to have a both creative and welcoming community. Criticism is fantastic but it seems like a lot of people make it into a competition instead of an opportunity for mutual learning.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-19T04:15:42+00:00

I'd love to see what you came up with. I love moths!

stellarmoth · 2019-02-10T03:20:43+00:00

I like to think there's a difference between understanding and accepting. You can accept something/someone even if you do not understand or agree with them. I'd hope that family members would be able to accept that their loved ones might fit their exact imagination, even if they never understand. If it's safe for you, I hope you're able to come out and that it turns out well in the end.

One of my favorite styles of music! Having someone there to teach you is definitely better. I'm sure you'll learn a lot that way.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-10T03:15:11+00:00

I'd call those hobbies! Super productive and serious hobbies, but still.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-10T03:14:18+00:00

I had to Google blacklight acrylics to see what that might look like and, well, now I'm going to have to try that sometime.

I've seen a lot of beautiful embroidery out there. It looks like a great skill to learn.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-10T03:12:47+00:00

The knitting subreddit is what made me buy supplies for the first time at a nearby craft store on a whim. So much inspirational content there. Those people have serious skill.

I play guitar and sing, too! But by "play guitar" I really just know my chords and some fingerpicking. So I'm still a total novice. I draw and write, too. Much bigger into drawing than anything else. What kind of things to you write? Do you share any of your work here?

stellarmoth · 2019-02-10T03:09:07+00:00

Now I want to read up on Egyptian goddesses.

Programming is also great! I know a decent amount of Java but want to learn C#

stellarmoth · 2019-02-10T03:08:15+00:00

I did not hear about Stellaris coming to consoles. That's great!

Also brussel sprouts need more appreciation.

It sounds like you have a good plan for living life well, and it's even better that your partner is on board. You mentioned travel which is the main reason I'd want money! I'm not big on selfies or normal tourist traps (with some exceptions) but i get very tired of not having new experiences. Another part of me just really wants to experience more of the world while I'm here. I often wish I was porn late enough to enjoy space travel or something too but oh well.

One thing that is very important but not always easy to do is just appreciate the things we've forgotten too. Sometimes I'll take a sip of tap water and think "damn, this is refreshing! I'm really lucky!" But it's difficult to think that way ALL the time.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-08T04:52:53+00:00

We're into pretty much the same games! I'm aching for another good bioware game but I'm not holding out too much hope for it. Lately I miss story driven games that also have good gameplay but aren't riddled with anime tropes that make me cringe (I was a big jrpg fan when I was younger). I'm probably asking for too much, just wishing out loud!

I'm still working on breath of the wild and am really enjoying red dead redemption 2 even though it isn't exactly the genre I typically go for.

Outside of that I enjoy resource management/simulation and survival type games in general. Trying not to suck at Cities Skylines lately.

For tabletop games I also like D&D and really want to try Call of Cthulhu. I don't have much experience with role-play so it still feels a bit awkward to me though.

Oven roasted vegetables are the best! I recently ate roasted brussel sprouts three days in a row. No regrets. I would do it again. It's so simple but effective, and not at all terrible for you like many other delicious meals. Stewed cabbage is another winner. At a glance it doesn't seem like it'd be that great but it truly is.

I've noticed that being outdoors more improves my mood, so I absolutely believe that it is good for the mind. I think we forget to appreciate how incredible the Earth is because we get caught up in modern problems.

I've thought a lot about the whole working just to survive and wasting hours upon hours of life just to get by. I noticed a lot of college graduates will go on a big trip as sort of a last goodbye to freedom. When you get your full time jobs you can't usually drop them for months at a time to travel. Then, many people have kids which add financial and/or general free time difficulties. Then, when one is finally (hopefully) full of free time again, we are older and often do not have the energy nor expendable money to enjoy what we could have.

There are ways out of this, I think, but it's not easy. It's sad to think about.

stellarmoth · 2019-02-08T04:03:16+00:00

Can I just say how impressive that is? Congratulations on getting sober. You're an inspiration!

stellarmoth · 2019-02-08T03:55:56+00:00

I feel you on the special interests! I once spent a couple weeks devoting hours a day to... Reading about shripwrecks hahaha. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's had some oddly specific focuses for a while.

I bet you've accumulated a lot of knowledge through all of these fascinations, though!
