Lancer is a... weird little guy? I dunno even though I really liked undertale I didn't really vibe with deltarune and never played past ep1. I do vaguely remember having fun fighting him.
Soooo, uh, yeah, that's Lancer I guess. I'd love to hear about everybody's favourite little weirdos.

If you put your gender under your pillow when you sleep the trans fairy will replace it with a new one
casually dropping lore on how I became a pupper
Pro tip: if you leave a note asking for an upgraded gender instead, fae will respect your wish
This sublimation-ink printing thing I bought is so cool, I can just draw some stuff and put it on a t-shirt, I fucking love this. I hope I can sell some around in my city. The only thing I need is to buy more t-shirts to sublimate.
Leading our monthly meeting tomorrow, fuckin hell how did I get roped into being center stage
I hope it goes great! ๐ฅฐ
Thank you, it'll be fine. We do two a month and I doubt many people will show up for this one. Plus I've got people to help me and a rough script. Still hate all eyes being on me.
Sorry I haven't been replying to comments the way I usually try to, been very eepy the last few days 
my life is a cartoon
unfortunately that cartoon is Bojack Horseman but like 4 times sadder and not even that wacky this last season
Did you let someone die of a preventable overdose cause otherwise youre not as morally compromised as Bojack
I hurt someone close to me. That's not remotely comparable to them dying of an overdose but I still feel really shitty about it
The Time Has Come (Again)
Also just got my ears pierced and I feel so cute and gay :)))
Hell yeah! To both things ๐ฅฐ Did you get lobes pierced or something else?
Just lobes! Got cute little studs and the soreness is gone, so way more chill than I expected
That's great! Studs should heal up super fast too ๐ฅฐ Are you planning to keep them as studs or swap other earrings?
unsolicited advice
Be careful putting on / taking off shirts / bras. Even though they feel chill now, a big bump or pulling on them will make them very mad.
For a while now I have been trying to thrift theory books. Kind of a useless personal challenge, but hey, it's free for as long as I can't find anything ๐ญ Local used bookstore politics section is 99.8% reactionary garbage and 0.2% gems. Finding a compilation of Lenin's writings printed from before the fall of the Soviet Union today was pretty cool. I have now seen 
on paper.
Unfortunately still no Little Red Book. Not sure if I'll ever find that one in the wild TBH.
Obviously this depends on where you live, but second-hand/military surplus places tend to have a lot of cool communist literature (because the military dorks see it as an equally interesting subject as fascist literature). HOWEVER, you have to go into those places, which often sucks for trans people.
Hmmmm unfortunately the closet has been made of glass for me, so I'm not sure I could even safely boymode in that kind of place. Still, it's an interesting idea ๐ค This is where I can make use of my cis party members ๐
Born to ponder fantasy power systems
Forced to interpret homework assignments that are never clear enough (homework can be so autism unfriendly)
I will give you an example since I just finished that particular problem.
Question tells me to simulate something. Set aside the fact that the questions have felt too easy and I feel like I'm missing something crucial.
Am I supposed to put these simulation graphics into my report? Obviously ig? I mean, it doesn't tell you what to do with the simulation. Just ... do it.
But my report is a pdf. Does the professor want me to manually make an animated gif in matlab and then use special latex packages (that I found online) to embed animations into my pdf? It feels like that's overkill. But I also didn't find any simpler ways. Ofc, it wasn't hard. But I'm stumbling round the dark wondering if I'm stupid or if the prof is stupid.
Maybe the prof wants the code and some screenshots from the sim showing it's working as expected? When I had labs like that, I had a juicy appendix where I dumped all that sort of thing. Not having clarity sucks big time though.
Good news: got my new femme glasses! Bad news: the lenses are fucked up and giving me the worst eye strain of my life ๐ฎโ๐จ
If it's a new prescription that should go away after a few days. There's always an adjustment period for me with me prescriptions.
Slightly new prescription and very different style from what I've had before. I hope you're right! I love love love the frames
What's the femme style? I just got my first pair and they're good, but I'm curious what others use
lensalter has these super cute heart-shaped lenses, and they do a really high index, so they're like the only place that I can get frameless glasses with my strong-ass prescription
It's a small difference, but mine are rounder than a lot of men's glasses and are a nice soft brown. They also have some "jewelry" on the arms. In general you can see a lot more of my face as well :) I don't know if that description is helpful at all haha
Never really thought about changing my name. Cause it just feels a little ... off. Never had any attachment/problems with my name (or my bday, or other special events in my life), which I guess is just a side effect of feeling like I wasn't living in reality/distant from my surroundings/dispossessed.
I am interested in the concept of just .. being multiple people. Having multiple personas. Sounds cool and fun. I don't like the idea of having a fixed identity.
But I somehow doubt the legal system will let "Ritisha"* get away from the murders that "Jasmine"* committed.
*example personas
dysphoria, loneliness
Because of loneliness I missed out on romance in my teens and early twenties. How do I convince myself it doesn't matter?
I think every LGBTQ person gets to redo their 20s but good. Or take your pick of decade.
spoiler
Well, idk about convincing yourself it doesn't matter (whatever that means), but there's nothing you can do about what happened. What you can do something about is the future. I missed out on romance then too, but now my life is full of romance and love off all kinds! It's doable!
spoiler
I was in a toxic relationship starting in high school and continuing for 20 years, off and on. I'm only just starting to figure out how to have healthy relationships now in my late 30s after working through decades of trauma. The first step is just getting into social situations with people any way you can, finding common ground (queer and trans groups are a great place to start), and making friends. Shit's fucking scary at first but just be open and honest around enough people and you will find some that want to hang out and that can lead to more down the line. Whatever it is you like to do, find other people doing the same thing and chill with them.
well the best time to start gaining that experience is today. we are all on our own journeys, lots of people do not experience romance during parts of their life
spoiler
Tell yourself it doesn't matter over and over again until it becomes a mantra in your head. Hypnotize yourself.
Yeah I'm in the same place. I have no advice, just solidarity.
