    So hey, I'm Ashley, I'm a gay trans woman and it seems weird but my life is slowly coming together.

    I've moved to Seattle and have been living with people I honestly love to be around and who love to be around me. I have a job that pays well enough and is in the video game industry so that's sweet.

    Oh I'm also dating "Bobkins Flymo" who is just the nicest, cutest, loveliest girl. She brightens my day so much and seeing her send me a text puts me on air.

    Oh shit, I need to update the forum shipping chart! I never know who is dating who. I need to make a forum relationship chart. Gonna need string, thumbtacks, pictures, and some coffee

    Also! Glad you two are doing well. Makes my heart happy to see good people doing well.

    we need Fire Emblem: SE++ edition

    do we also have to figure out what abilities we pass on so we can figure out who is the best possible couple?

    yeah there'd be the canon pairings and then you can match people up for optimal setups as well

    Well slight bummer: can't change my name & gender marker at school until I do the same with the government first. Ah well... maybe time to get shit changed legally sooner than originally planned.

    Well, that was interesting...

    I got a call yesterday from my old boss from when I worked at the Department of Corrections. He said he wanted to meet up and have coffee, which was weird because we hadn't talked at all since a month or two before I left that job.

    We met up at a coffee place and got some Beignets and coffee, and he proceeded to ask me some questions about the whole being trans thing, which I figured was the reason he wanted to talk. They were mostly innocuous questions, but at some point he decided to tell me that he had found religion! And then he tried to inject Jesus into every following thing we talked about.

    After that he told me that he couldn't support my "decision" but that he would be there to support me if it was needed. I appreciate the sentiment, but treating being trans and gay like a decision seems a bit... Dumb?

    I am proud of who I am, but who thinks that someone would decide, during the unfathomably stupid rein of President Trump, that another human being would choose how to select the translesbian subclass? Does that classify as hard mode? does the real Dark Souls begin here?

    Anyway, that was a weird and increasingly uncomfortable conversation, but I got to eat some Beignets, so it's not all bad. How is everyone else is day going?

    Today I finally reached the end of a return for a business that will be filing in thirty states - or at least the point where I hand it off to my boss for him to review. I don't think they actually need to file in thirty states, but that's what they want, apparently.

    Also today I did not find out where I stand with the bell choir or whether anything I've said to the director sunk in, because the church is still using that cleaner that makes it hard for me to breathe and I had to leave immediately.
    I have a feeling this is going to end in the dumbest way possible, with my quitting because they don't change the cleaner.

    Frankly, it's not worth that effort anymore. I was ready to quit back in June and I kind of feel like it's only inertia keeping me there now.
    I specifically told the director about the cleaner the first time, which was weeks ago, and tonight I told the.. music director? I dunno what her title is exactly, but she said she would talk to somebody who I'm assuming can make the change. I'm going to check back after Sunday to be sure that she has, but my patience is already out. If I have to miss again next week I'm done.

    I’m a pretty private person, don’t normally talk about this kind of thing here, but I moved in with my girlfriend a little over a month ago and it’s the happiest I’ve ever been? like..in my whole life, probably? So that’s nice. Weird, but nice. I don’t know how to exist while happy so life is a little “what now” but that’s not the worst problem to have innit

    That's awesome, Whippy! I'm so happy for you!

    It's really something else, being in love.

    For me, the last 2 1/4 months have definitely been the happiest time of my life. Just having Amara in my life has opened me up in ways I didn't think I ever could anymore. She even gave me the inspiration to start writing again, for the first time in at least half a decade.

    I never knew what it was like to feel whole, until she came along. It's so incredible.

    I started opening myself up to those feelings recently and it absolutely improved my quality of life even though I didn’t get to dating yet. Got rejected a couple times but it still felt great.

    Love is great. A+ emotion, will feel again.

    That "love the sinner, hate the sin" is the hottest of bullshits, and the only Christian I've ever heard to successfully pull it off is the big JC Himself. And I'm not even sure about that, because He doesn't seem to hate the sin, so much as it makes Him very, very disappointed.

    So! I don't think I've ever properly introduced myself. I'm Robonun, a more or less cishet woman, pretty disinterested in sex, not sure if that's my general inclination or my chronic depression talking. Howdy.
