I just wanted to send you a quick message to say that questioning if you're trans enough or just like a mistaken cis is a super common part of The Experience.

I first thought I might be trans when I was 13. I swiftly decided that was ridiculous and I was a bad person for trying to claim something like that for myself. I was a faker and horrible for even thinking it. I gatekept myself before I even knew the concept lol. It took SIX YEARS for me to go "no wait I absolutely am" and now I'm even out professionally.

So I guess my point is that to be gentle on yourself because that kind of second guessing is super natural.

Also finally those headcannons are a REVELATION, I love them. I've been subconsciously restricting myself to just my own OCs...no more!

thank you so so so much like you have no idea how much it means to me

everyone has just been really sweet and encouraging and it’s helped me so much. if talking about my hcs helps encourages others in turn like wow! :D I’m really happy to pay it forward and that helps me not feel so weird and bad about it too

 “I know I'm late as hell, but Dishonored 2... Which path should you...”

*takes a deep sip of the well steeped tea* and THIS is why despite being a Huge Dishonored Fan that like even has a portrait of the Outsider hanging above their bed. I have never finished the 2nd game. Because its was....meh. it didnt FEEL like Dishonored.

Oh my goodness, I’m so damn happy to hear someone else say this!

I know Dishonored 2 got absolutely glowing reviews and I’ve been reticent to say anything bad about it because of that, but goddamn. To me, Dishonored 2 feels like it was made by a dev team who’d watched a Let’s Play of the original game with a streamer who chattered through the whole thing and never used the Heart. It got the aesthetic and the gameplay but maybe half the mood and none of the story. Its missions feel like they strung together a collection of setpieces and then forced the plot around them. It wasn’t a bad game. The writing was just a mess. I was so profoundly disappointed at the time, and the more I think about it, the saltier I get.

...the Royal Conservatory is pretty fucking cool though.

The bright spots and potential just make me sadder, honestly.

(Also, while I’m serving tea? Tea that might taste good just to me? We don’t talk about Dishonored 2′s new Outsider lore. We don’t fucking talk about Dishonored 2′s new Outsider lore. Listen. I was put on this earth to fight two people. One of them is Stephen Colbert in a friendly gentleman’s Tolkien duel. The other is Harvey Smith.)

This ravenclaw is a science PhD candidate AND has many creative hobbies :V

Scientists with creative hobbies are my jam! Until my husband, I had never had a relationship with another arts major -- I was all about the math/science folks. And congrats on your PhD program! I hella admire people with that level of dedication and self-discipline, two Ravenclaw virtues that I feel like are woefully overlooked.
