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.

Hey! So, some keen-eyes observers who have been following me a while may have noticed a few differences in my profile. And my name.

First thing's first... I'm not quite ready to come out publicly yet, so if you know me in real life, I'd appreciate you sticking with "Shane" and he/they for now.
I still sincerely believe, to this day, that I would, in fact, download a car.

I will never stop thinking about how cool it was that their wings folded in the front and looked like capes when they did. Such a clever character design.

The government can't nullify my gay marriage if they refuse to acknowledge my actual gender.

Checkmate, idiots.

Couple of firsts today; first time coming out to someone in person (lowest stakes possible since they're like 10 years old and nonbinary) and also my first time in an in-person social setting actually using my new name and pronouns.

I don't think I was quite prepared for how nice it would feel.

Quote post with a song you can’t hear without thinking of a movie it was in

It's hilarious to me that I went to find the official music video for "All Star" by Smash Mouth to say "Shrek, obviously" and then I find out that the start of the video is a Mystery Men bit.

Some people have a mid-life crisis and buy a fancy new car. Others just decide to finally transition.

Not sure which will turn out more expensive, in the end.

Honestly gonna be pretty disappointed if "Trump gave Bill Clinton a BJ" turns out to be the only reason Trump was trying to hide this thing.

He's done awful things, and he should suffer for the awful things he's done, not this.

Look, I know what this looks like... I promise there's a non-sexual explanation if you'll just stop laughing and let me explain...

Ladies and gentlefolk?

We got him.

Due to some recent revelations, the guy playing a dragonborn paladin in the D&D campaign I'm running has decided he wants to multiclass into warlock.

Tonight's going to a fun session.

You ever have a song take on new depths of meaning and importance because of where you're at in life? Even a song you already loved before?

That's happening to me right now with Everybody Wants To Rule The World.

Help me pick a new banner! A thread.

My current one is of my wedding, and it's lovely and beautiful and I'll always cherish those photos. But I'm obviously looking pretty masc in that photo. It was one of the rare times my wife had longer hair than me. 😅 I think I want something different, for now.

I think this silly "traditional gender roles" test is the thing that actually cracked my shell... I remember thinking at that point that I would probably eventually transition, but I wanted to see how the election went before I committed to anything.

In retrospect, probably not my best call.
Heck, I didn't think it was that extreme.

First new #MarvelCrisisProtocol mini I've painted in a while!

I've been hoping for this character for literally 5 years now, and he's exactly what I hoped he would be, rules-wise.

Ready to do some D&D prep! Planning to send my players somewhere special for Halloween tomorrow night.

This was a fun time. :D
We ran a game of Spirit Island tonight where we sprinted to full terror for Halloween. You can feel the power creep with Breath of Darkness versus Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares but we had a good time.

And wouldn't you know once the colonists had fled in terror this happened.

Wife: Can you hand me... *pauses* ... the bottle with the pink polka dots?
Me: The one you put lotion in? I know what's in that one.
Wife: I don't like to assume.
Me: True. You wouldn't want to make an ass of Umption.
Wife: Yeah, that guy's been through enough.
Me: He's had a hard life.

Got all the new #MarvelCrisisProtocol releases assembled!

Now I need to wait for some good weather for spray primer...

Might have a new favorite Sheetz order. Breakfast sandwich on a bagel. Crispy chicken, fried egg, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, bacon.

The cream cheese and buffalo sauce go so well together. 😁

Making pretty good progress already. 😁

Covets Gleaming Shards of Earth! The Incarna token is a Red Dragon Wyrmling from Nolzur's, while the Hoard marker is made of clay. :) Metal tokens coming soon!

Everyone’s talking about Milpay, but reminder that USDA is currently using excess 25 funds to pay for WIC and School Lunch. They say they have like maybe a month of that left.

Red States are going to lose their fucking minds if they can’t draw those soon.
