Newly hatched lesbian trans woman still figuring everything out. Monogamously married.

Mostly, I post about games, hobbies, and comics. And I guess now probably a lot of trans stuff.

She/her.
Oh heck yeah! Hope you enjoy painting and playing! Blood Bowl is one of my favorite games.

I've always thought that guy was pretty cool, even if his modern fandom is really toxic.

Hang on, let them cook. With this logic, we can abolish capitalism and trick the people who love capitalism into thinking it's still around and everything's fine.

"This is totally still capitalism, guys! These political science majors said so, and they should know!"

You should see if you can get insurance to cover your Starbucks bill.

"Look, my former doctor, an expert on my condition, told me to take these. These are medicinal doubleshots."

Thanks, and to you as well! 😁

Wife did my brows today, and it was bad, but the shape is pretty nice, and I think I can keep up with it? Might narrow them a bit later but this is a good start.

Weirdly, we found a stimulus trick where if she pressed down on the spot right after plucking, the pain wasn't as intense.

You too! Hope you're having a great one. 😁

Aww Timothy! Thank you, that's so sweet.

But also, dammit! I was trying to do a funny, self-deprecating bit and you made me break character by being nice. 😂

This is why you should never post jokes that are funny enough to go viral. 😉 You need to keep your humor mediocre, like I do.

Ooo those look great!

Gender 5D Chess is probably closer to my lived experience, tbh. 😅

I mean, being attracted to women is super relatable. I just have a different word for it. 😅

For sure! Let me know if you try either one, they've been working out well for me. :D

For primer, I'm using the Milani Erase Base. I've had some degree of acne for my entire adult life; the HRT initially made it worse, but it's always been there. I've found salicylic acid works great for me, though.

The tinted moisturizer is a brand my sister likes called 100% Pure. :) Smells nice.

Yeah, money is a bit of a concern there, but I'll definitely give it some thought and look into it a bit.

The rest is mostly the same as yours; I haven't dived into mascara yet; my lashes are pretty naturally long and pretty without it, so it hasn't been at the top of my priority list. 😅 But I do intend to figure it out at some point. Also working on steadying my hand enough to use liquid eye liner.
February 6, 2026 at 8:54 PM
Thanks! The primer I'm using now has salicylic acid which *really* helps with my acne, so I'm likely going to stick with that, but yeah, concealer on top of that, then my sister turned me onto using "tinted moisturizer" instead of foundation, which I've been really liking.

Thanks! Yeah, my wife has been bugging me about doing my brows; she wants to take a try at just using tweezers at home, so we might try that first. I do trim them some (they're normally even bushier, believe it or not 😅) but I haven't done anything with reshaping them at all.
February 6, 2026 at 8:49 PM
Not... exactly? 😅 I have been using a concealer over my beard roots and I *think* it's warmer. So maybe I've been sorta doing it by accident...? But more info would be appreciated, I'm still *very* new to this.
