  • Yeah FE, much as I love it, isn’t great in regards to stereotypes on the whole. The improvements are semi-random because the games tend to have different writers. Weirdly Heroes of all things seems to be the most consistent on making things more clearly queer, but Heroes has plenty of its own issues as well.

    Fates Conquest is one of the most pure fun FE games, but it is also a mess of a story. Forrest is a super minor character anyways, being just Leo’s child, so you won’t miss anything by just reading the supports online. Especially since Fates iirc has all of its supports on youtube if you want the expressions too.



  • Also unfortunately the game with the

    cw: homophobia

    Magical conversion therapy potion being used on the all but explicitly lesbian character who also cannot date a single woman.

    Meanwhile the two actual bi characters are a stalker and a pervert. And picking them is detrimental to gameplay.

    But yeah Forrest is a nicer take compared to a lot of the others in the series which are negative stereotypes, agender non-humans, or Rosado’s “I just want to be cute.” (Not saying that’s not a valid reason, it genuinely was one for me, but for actual trans rep it’s not great compared to Forrest.) ((Also ngl I do like some of the agender non-humans, Limstella is pretty and so gender to me sorry not sorry))








  • Wouldn’t it be the other way around: your T increased because your E decreased?

    Probably, and that’s how I usually understand it, but my E dosage being the exact same, and it being the more consistent thing which I was taking (since I use patches, my midterms poor sleep didn’t mess up when I’d switch them) means that there’s not really any reason for it to have decreased. Other than body weirdness, which is always a possibility and is probably the actual case here now that I’ve thought about it more. Either way I’m getting both my E and spiro upped now in response to this.


  • Checking my lab results, somehow my T got back to male levels (14.2 nmol despite my increased spiro dose, last test (with the lower dose) gave me 4, first one at that same dose gave me 1, pre-E I was at 14.1). Midterms have been throwing my sleep into a mess though so I haven’t been able to take them at a consistent time lately so I assume that’s the issue rn, and I only took it an hour before the test, but I wouldn’t have expected it to outright be back at male levels from that. Gonna have to figure out a time that I can stay more consistent on.

    My E shifted a ton too, maybe because of the T being higher today and suppressing it? Last time it was 225 pmol, this time it’s 184. No dosage change.


  • Just got back from getting bloodwork, now to wait for results and hopefully I can get my E upped a little.

    cw: Blood

    Seeing my blood in the vial, I’m always struck by how it’s such a lovely shade of red. This happens to me often with particular shades of colours, and I guess my own blood is one of those now. The dark red is such a deep and beautiful shade, and even the bright stains on white cloth are utterly delightful, such a… almost happy shade of red. This is probably weird to think about though.
