Aerith is complete for Otakon! 🌸

This costume tested the absolute limits of my sanity and my sewing machine (no seriously, it broke in the middle of me trying to top stitch the jacket)

I tried to be super intentional about materials, taking my time, durability, and details ✨

I gut checked by asking some friends who have graded before, and apparently this is near mint. The more you know

Finished Superman, they really nailed Krypto (his dog) being a little shit in a way that pretty much every dog owner can relate to.

Annoying, this was sold as near mint. Gonna have to (politely) yell at the seller and return it 😭

100% and it fucking suuuuucks. My father used to manage a wedding hall that could seat up to 300 people for dinner and a basic part of his job was to make sure everything was smooth on his end and sit down with the couple at several points to make sure everything was in order.

Unfortunately that part doesn’t change when you get into other areas like hiring contractors to do work on your home 😭

In a way, consider practice 🫠

Anyways uh hi

My wife: "they put a lesbian on the side of the UHaul"

My impression is that Mastercard pulled corporate version of “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?” All in an effort to avoid any culpability. Sigh.

Woohoo, that’s awesome! Have fun decorating 😃

I’m sorry, what???

Seriously, especially when a competition worthy cosplay can take many months to make.

I rlly don’t think someone reentering a cosplay that won at a smaller local con to a much larger con or international qual should be considered sandbagging

Im either a genius or an idiot. I was given some extra wig heads but have no space so I chopped them at an angle with a box cutter, created a mounting peg with cardboard and hot glued to a command hook and now I can store some more of my styled wigs.

Fair, haha.

Addendum since this question does come up often when I give this advice: Sadly none of this works for cis women because cis women have always had estrogen and, during puberty their body is already naturally producing a lot of HGH, so exercising won’t help as HGH has already done its thing.

Disclaimer: Nothing in this thread is medical advice. I am not a doctor and highly suggest working with your doctor, especially with things like weight cycling.

The big takeaway is that physical changes from HRT takes years and is a lot of work. The other takeaway is that you need to prioritize what is important to you in terms of reducing your dysphoria. So long as you’re going about it in a healthy way, there’s no wrong way to transition.

Oh and don’t even think about taking any form of external HGH, it will masculinize you instead of help with your transition, never mind all the other terrible side effects. HGH produced by your body won’t affect you negatively, everything else will.

There’s no shortcuts here.

About the chest: Exercising to the point of sore muscles actually helps there due anecdata showing HGH has an effect on progress. Unfortunately the only time post-puberty that your body makes HGH is when you’re injured and the only safe way to do that is via exercise. Plus, you exercise anyway.

Also you need to do this in a healthy way, which I know is hard for many in the trans community because eating disorders are endemic (I have personal experience with this too.)

But there’s no easy way to say this: If you want to be more feminine you need to have fat on your body in the first place

This does require being on HRT for at least a year or two before HRT causes the body to switch modes to depositing fat into more feminine areas. But like I said, fat is stubborn and so you’ll have to weight cycle, exercise, and/or gain weight.

Both of those will occur after a few years. Though, fat is a bit stubborn as bodies like to use what already exists, but the best way to change fat distribution is to weight cycle up and down about 10-12lbs. This will encourage fat to move from masculine visceral to feminine adipose locations.

Much of the rest of it, even without surgery, can be obtained by healthy diet and exercise to help with fat distribution.

Seriously, the average difference between a man and woman in terms of hip bone width is about an index finger. Most of the difference is fat distribution and hip tilt.

🧵 Something a lot of transfems who transition post-puberty need to understand is that, in most cases, the larger frame isn’t as much of an impediment to passing as they think. Key word: Most.

Doing your brows properly and style of speaking, even with a lower voice, will get you 80% there.
