hi so i forgot to message the person who was next (sorry HelltakerHomosexual) so i’m just gonna talk about a thing i like
Shadow the Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Characterized by his sharp wit and strong sense of purpose, Shadow is a recurrent arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he resembles and shares many abilities. He is a major supporter of trans people, as evidenced by his catchphrase, “Trans people are cool!”
^ this is all from the wiki btw
I like Shadow a lot. His first appearance in the series is in a game where him and Sonic are both fighting the government and destroying these multi-million dollar gunships. Sonic is doing it because he loves communism but Shadow is doing it because he has a blood feud against G.U.N., who are like the global government death squads because they killed this girl, Maria, who he was best friends with.
Maria basically had an incurable illness that Eggman’s grandpa was trying to cure by creating an immortal lifeform, which is actually how Shadow was born. Also, Shadow has a copy of Maria’s soul I guess? Seriously, look it up. I’m reading all this shit for the first time right now and that sounds kinda trans to me.
Anyway, she gets shot by the troops and despite Maria telling Shadow to be normal and happy, Eggman’s grandpa is pissed off about it so he starts psyopping Shadow into wanting to kill everyone on Earth. Eggman’s grandpa successfully does the psyop and locks Shadow away until Eggman finds and releases him.
With his newfound power, Shadow starts being evil and helping Eggman find the Chaos Emeralds because he sees him piss on the moon or something. This goes on for a while until he gets back on the space station and remembers what Maria said, deciding to finally be normal and happy.
He switches up, goes Hyper Shadow and helps Sonic defeat the Biolizard which is basically what it sounds like: a giant lizard who wears the space station like a little jacket and shoots lasers from his mouth. Also, that thing was the prototype Ultimate Lifeform before they decided on the optimal form of existence: a little bipedal anthro hedgehog.
So they beat this lizard up, I guess it dies and then the space station is hurtling toward the Earth. Shadow takes a Chaos Emerald and, with the help of Sonic, does one last Chaos Control on the space station, returning it to a stable altitude. Sonic finds himself back on the space station as he flies into the atmosphere. After this, a big semi-translucent Shadow appears on top of the Earth and everyone can see it.
Why would I lie about that? Here it is.
Anyway, a bunch of shit happens after that but I don’t care about it. If someone else wants to talk about Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) feel free. What I really wrote this out to justify talking about is the moon in Sonic games. Like I said before, the moon gets pissed on and destroyed with the help of Shadow,
and then in the next game it’s just fine but evil now(???)
and after THAT it’s not evil anymore but it’s fully intact:
What the fuck? Why? How? I watched it get blown up. Who put the moon back together? Anyway, we’re getting in the weeds here. Welcome to the mega.

HRT consult is this afternoon!
Hey, me too!
Shadow girl (Positive)
Now and forever
My Bicalutamide arrived! But my estrogen not yet. So I’m thinking of starting with bicalutamide already since I can’t wait. But my blood tests for testosterone and estrogen are tomorrow. Would it mess with the results tomorrow if I start bicalutamide today? And since I haven’t made an appointment for a blood test for liver function yet, would it mess with the results too much?
And since my estrogen hasn’t arrived yet, is only taking bicalutamide worth it?
If those tests are to determine your baseline T and E levels prior to HRT then wait. It will mess with your levels and you want to know your baseline prior to starting. I know it’s frustrating, but wait until your test. Feel free to start your antiandrogen before E, it’s not a waste you’ll just start suppressing your T levels faster!
Unless you wanna know your liver markers right now (which will almost certainly be within defined limits anyway) you don’t have to wait for AST/ALT/whatever else you’re getting. I don’t see a reason to wait for liver function tests unless you suspect you already have liver issues, then it would be good to have a baseline to compare to later. Bicalutamide is known to cause liver damage in a number of people (?~10%) which is why you’ll need it checked. Rarely, people need to stop even with some liver damage - but when they’re using it for prostate cancer. Off label as HRT, your endo/doc might wanna pull you off even with some liver damage, discuss it with them later
I’d just wait a day to be sure the tests are right.
Back when I was starting HRT they put me just on spiro for a few months. Actually did get mild breast growth from that. So if it’s short term then I think it can be fine but if you’re reacting poorly to very low sex hormones obviously stop and wait for the estrogen.
me when there are strange men in my home (i hired them to be there)
Visited parents and mom had to go take care of something, so finally was alone with step-mom for the first time since told them I changed hormones. So she asked me about goals, name, etc, which is cool even if I have no concrete goals or plans to change name for now.
My brother later told me our mom has asked him about things like name (my name is based on hers, so not surprise that would be a focus of hers), but I guess she doesn’t want to ask me directly? Not sure if because I have a history of clamming up or because I can be overly sensitive and she’s afraid of offending me accidentally - either and/or both make sense given how I’ve been in the past. She hadn’t said anything to me in like the 3 weeks since I came out, so happy to know she’s at least showing some interest and not just trying to pretend it isn’t happening. Given the type of media she consumes, I’m kinda just glad she hasn’t tried sending me things like detransition propaganda videos.
Also, suddenly finding emotions being a lot stronger these last couple days… like getting tears for little reason (fortunately, so far pretty much just when alone). Kinda nostalgic, except as a child, I had even less understanding why I was upset.
Oh, she also made a comment like “suddenly you have boobs”, so I’ll take that as confirmation that people just don’t notice even though I’ve been around them with just a loose fitting T-shirt the week before I came out and I was holding them when jogging because they were moving.
I’m sick where’s my shadow the hedgehog
Shadow works by Santa Clause rules, he doesn’t show up unless you slept through the night
I remember seeing pictures of shadow in magazines before Sonic Adventure 2 came out. I was super excited. I loved his design, and I was an edgelord, and I thought his rocket skates were so cool.
Then I played the game and was like, “oh this guy is pretty cringe” but I pretended to like him because my brother is a huge sonic fan, and so I had to say shadow was better.
Anyway, now I like Amy
He is not cringe
Of course a couple of days after I say I haven’t gotten sick since transitioning, my throat starts to feel funny 😖

Every monday I have an appointment with my therapist, but this time I show up only to find out that he’s on vacation. Cool, not like they could have told me that ahead of time
Anyone interested in shadow the hedgehog (2005) I recommend the romhack reloaded 1.2, lot of qol improvements, fixes and a new scoring system with added S ranks. Some of the levels have some added stuff and the red rings from colors
