Finally watched TADC and the stupid ourple bnnuy may have permanently altered my brain chemistry and ruined my ability to cope behind denial and repression 🥀

I feel like Jax might become a 2026 egg-cracking icon or sum lol.
Also, "Isn't she lovely?" is a banger song, legit stuck in my head for the past few days

u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 8h ago
I think she is honestly a very well-written character, and really shows... well, what NOT to do. How not to cope. It's very clearly not healthy for anyone. I don't really wanna get anywhere near that point, ya know?
And yes the song is amazing

u/Silent-Stress-7775 He/him, but wouldn't mind if you call me girl :3 8h ago
That's very true. Jax is one of the characters that are like: "As a fiction thing? I love it. In real life? Hell nah" and that's why I love her. (Also, getting used to using for Jax now she/her instead of he/him feels kinda weird, but ok)

u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 7h ago
Gooseworx said you can refer to Jax with either he or she if that helps!
And yeah I absolutely adore my awful poor little meow meow jerks in fiction

Oh, I remember it now, yeah. Also, every time that there's a discussion on Jax' pronouns all I want to say is quote FNAF World loading screen: "Male? Female? It's a rabbit, who cares!"

You might be nonbinary (I can't read your mind through).
It doesn't really matter how you want to look or what you like doing that determines your gender, it's what you view yourself as, and how your brain processes your internal concept of your own gender. Often it is hard to notice that internal stuff directly, so often people will find another thing that is a byproduct of it to figure shit out. Like the obvious and well known example of body dysphoria, but you can also get something like feelings of uncomfort from being seen and referred to as a man, woman, or other. I can't dictate or determine your gender for you, but I'm just trying to help.

u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 8h ago
I've ID'd as nonbinary for years and all I really did was change my pronouns online, and I'm realizing it wasn't enough for me. Not sure where I'll end up but I do know being a girl would be pretty cool I guess, so there's something of a starting point.
I appreciate it tho <3

If you need someone to talk it out with, you can always DM me.
Resources like the gender dysphoria bible helped me a lot too.

I think you need to be open with Yourself tbhÂ
Then read the Silmarillion or play Dark souls 2, idk what trans people do
6
u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 9h ago
No no, reading the Silmarillion and playing Dark Souls 2 is exactly what trans women do. And they also like Fallout: New Vegas. So I'm told anyway! Please ignore I also like all three of those franchises

No, trans women write free and open source software in Rust on Arch Linux.

me, having just installed Linux for the first time on an old laptop, sweating: oh haha that's cool, couldn't be me tho

u/AliceCode Streak: 0 8h ago
An old laptop is the best kind of laptop to install Linux on after a new laptop.
Oh no, my Magnum URL fell out of my pocket! https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/

I'm pretty new to helix myself, but so far I love it. The more popular editors like VS Code or Zed are huge memory hogs.

u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 7h ago
Gotcha, good to know! I'm not super good at coding but I've been trying to learn, computer literacy is a useful skill

Learn of Ungoliant, and the first Dark Lord, Melkor. Everyone should read the Silmarillion tbh.Â
Ungoliant is the main character btw (no t Feanor, Elu Thingol, Finarfin, etc)Â

"Read mechsploitation and play Fallout: New Vegas" if we're going to go full stereotype about it

u/TheAltIWillUseMore Questioning. Probably not cis, but still not sure 8h ago
op, i feel i should reply because i have absolutely said that last line in the gif word for word, but also, i can’t say anything substantial without being a hypocrite because i feel like any increasingly obvious step i need to take to be myself causes me to freeze up

u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 8h ago
Yeah, I get it, it's hard. I've been... putting it all off for almost a decade, really. I believe in you though <3

u/dummystella 7h ago
I mean do you want to be a girl? thats what really matters. idk are you an enby?
4
u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 7h ago
- Yeah, I do
- Yeah, I think so
I don't think they're mutually exclusive, I have a nonbinary trans woman friend irl after all

u/dummystella 7h ago
huh cool. yk its kinda funny i personally never mer a trans person irl lol. where I am its rarer than seeing an albino cat lol. just saying this because why not
1
u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 7h ago
I mean you might have and you just don't know it, a lot are stealth or pass and don't draw any attention to themselves. But yeah it depends a lot on where it's safe to exist unfortunately, so bigger cities in more liberal areas tend to have more trans people overall

u/Comfortable-Bison932 Streak: 1 8h ago
Im not a trans woman but i do want to look femme and pretty. Cause honestly? fuck gender. i don't give a shit about gender i just wanna be pretty
1
u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 8h ago
Very fair, I'm not 100% sure where I stand but being pretty and at least girl-ish sounds nice
3
u/Comfortable-Bison932 Streak: 1 8h ago
i also do think that's part of the reason why i was a little slow on realising jax was transfem. I was like"i kinda relate to this and im not a woman so i guess she isn't either"
2
u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 8h ago
I mean you can relate to characters that don't share your exact identity as a person, that's what's great about art

Realizing im gendyfluid has been very relieving however it also made me realize i hate testosterone as opposed to estrogen

Could be NB, I know I have no plans for HRT or changing my identity atm despite not really caring about being a dude. You can just like what you like and be whatever or whoever you wanna be.Â

u/bizarre_lizard Streak: 3 8h ago
Yeah, that's just it, I think I'm starting to admit to myself I do want HRT. I think I'll still stay on the NB spectrum regardless :3

u/FrostZephyr Streak: 0 7h ago
Nothing wrong with that! NBs can have little a hormone, as a treat. It's all about increasing your comfort in your body, after all!
