Oh no
November 12, 2025 at 3:33 AM
I don't know! Maybe a little ring? Maybe a cuff?

Just... More decorations

I've got two in each lobe, considering adding a third, with another further up the curve of the ear
November 12, 2025 at 2:54 AM
I've recently realized I'm probably getting more holes in my ears 😅
November 12, 2025 at 2:50 AM
I'm off Monday 12/22, so Haerz will be there :D

Her response:

fucking hell you must be a fae the way you refuse to give a straight answer
😆

My answers, by the way:

I am no kind of otherkin, I can touch iron, and I hold no fear of salt and pipesong.

My own cynical and skeptical self would say I'm likely as close as one gets in this sad cold world these days

So, am I? It's not a name I'd spurn if offered.

(especially for a bit)

Yeah, it was interactions with my wife that got me feeling safe enough to start really asking those questions.

She's pretty solidly cis, but she saw what I wanted more clearly than I did, told me she'd love me however the cards fell, and so 👩
November 12, 2025 at 1:43 AM
Ha! I'd just been a he/they 'gender queer' type for a couple of years, and had taken to 'dressing softly' at home with my wife after work.

And then when I felt like I could interrogate whether there was more going on, I reached out to friends, and when one of them was in town 🥚💥🐣

Oh nice! You started HRT the day after I hatched 🤣

I started HRT a couple weeks later, once I finally went 'Okay, this is real, this is me' there was just a pressure and a momentum I wasn't willing to let up on.
November 12, 2025 at 12:58 AM
Awww, yeah. She's the first who was like *there* in front of me when it was happening. Also had another friend on a Discord hatch after I came out to the group.

That's it, but then I've only been at this a year and a half 😊
November 12, 2025 at 12:52 AM
(I'll admit, I had to look that one up)
November 12, 2025 at 12:21 AM
Awww
November 12, 2025 at 12:20 AM
I'm probably in the same spot. My face (and whole upper body) has been getting lasered for a little more than a year at this point, and it's not like I wasn't already going grey before I started, so, we're definitely at the point of diminishing returns in a lot of places 😅
November 12, 2025 at 12:14 AM
This is the best idea ever.

I'm going to talk to my wife about actually getting the commissions we've talked about done.
November 12, 2025 at 12:03 AM
Heh, my old crush hatched in my hand last month a bit over a week after I confessed 😅
November 11, 2025 at 11:59 PM
Ha! Yeah! I uh.

Wouldn't know anything about crushing on my best friend, would I?

(pinging best friend I crushed on @buchans.bsky.social )

Girl, we are both early days, and you should not dismiss the magic you can work with makeup. style, and confidence.
November 11, 2025 at 10:59 PM
*Yet
November 11, 2025 at 10:57 PM
(available for supportive and mildly coercive assistance whenever you'd like, Claire)
November 11, 2025 at 10:54 PM
Pretty much the same, except I noticed (and picked) boys first 😅
November 11, 2025 at 10:53 PM
Yup, can't see how much it costs but that's pretty much what I'm looking for.
