Absolutely shameful confession that I love Yami Shibai. It's just so trashy. I love the songs, the illustrations, the horror. Perhaps in that order. It's awful, I love it so much. Mononoke is *my "high-brow" answer, which is one of my favorites as a whole, but jeez do I love Yami Shibai. I feel like I could sit with the first six episodes of The Woman Named Fujiko Miine forever, and kinda let the other six drift off into the abyss. Speaking of absolute nonsense, I love Bly-Manor but I like The Turn of the Screw in any form. Especially that somekindofdifferent 90s adaptation, it's got about 700% less gay however. Watching a couple of minutes of this drew me right in. There's just something about it, it casts a hypnotic spell to my brain-bin. Speaking of queer, at the intersection of that and wholesome (well...er...SU) I love Magical Girl Friendship Squad. Which is sort of is SU and Puppycat had a baby and BLAM - you get this.
Toss more if you want!
Right back at you! Very lovely response.
I understand your mom's madness. You gotta keep the rotation going with beans, or you could run out! Since they've gotta soak and what not. The best foods are the simplest, it's always that way! I've got a book that I use most days. It's got the ugliest cover that ever lived, but I don't really care about that. I just open the thing, pick the area I want to focus on and go. There is not one pretty thing about the whole process, but it gives me a physical tell which is actionable. I have some cork blocks, but the mat can suck eggs. Anything needing particular padding I use a throw for.
On the big sads, I think that the various internal/external adversities we can face as humans can cause a multitude of issues. To the point where you can solve one, and even if it was the "biggest" one or the one that caused the most pain you'll find your battle isn't over yet. While things are hard to find, I swear to you if you can find someone who you can work through these things with it helps a lot. It doesn't really have to be one person, if you can find a group it can be like...queer magic!
Don't forget to be kind to yourself. Incremental gains and patience are best practices. It helps keep you from getting overwhelmed and being able to manage your time and energy. As someone who goes from 0 to 100, it has been a painful gain but it's helped so much. GL sis, you're gunna be fine!
We seem to be aligned in tastes, pass me more? Your call!
True story, wasp attacks are insane. Not one of them, but the brutality of their union.

Are these the big chunkas that grab on to the whole bodies of grasshoppers and pull them into their nests for the bebes?
Utena is a very good show, as long as you're okay with drama and static imagery. It's one of my favorite anime. Although the drama, I can't stand as much anymore. I actually like Princess Tutu more between the two by this point, because it's kinder. Less incestuous.
Then be a buff gal. Be whatever you want, but only reason why I said what I said is because physical strength takes time to grow so no time like the present.
My blackout curtains have white on the other side I am not sure much about the science behind them but they make it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They're quite dark on the inside. I got what I paid for. I don't think all curtains are made equally.
This might sound funny, but I swear the four walls help. When I lived right off the water a dehumidifier helped with the high-humidity. Black-out curtains help keep the sun out, but they also keep the sun out if you catch me. Outside of that, I've heard ventilation. Don't forget to drink water, keep your electrolytes solid and take care of yourself.
My brother was the same way. He became best friends with a personal trainer. Not because he was a personal trainer, just in that their interests aligned. Now, they work out regularly and eat all the meats and sweet potatoes in the world. Which is why it'll be hard to find either of those, but he only took the one trainer. So maybe go find one of your own, and become the caveman you've got going on in your head.

I mean, how can you not? My papi used to cook them for me many moons ago, and I still very much so think fondly of them. I have been thinking, so often, about how easy it is to be trans and have an eating disorder. I know this sounds awful, but I have been wondering how many parts dysmorphia are linked. As most of the trans people I have dated or befriended have had one. The masc ones tend to have one to keep andro/masc features. Fem tend to have them either linked to pain or control it always seems. I wish I could say there were some magic way to make folks gain weight where they want. I mean, I guess surgery or working out. I meant more so eat some beans, get some boobies! An ex of mine started taking her hormones properly, and because estrogen loves saving calories for a rainy day, she did end up getting a pair. She gained weight as a whole however, and then lamented that because not all the areas she gained them were where bio-gals tended to gain them.
Now on the fainting and what not, are you okay? Are you eating what you need, as often as you do? Can you integrate small and smooth low impact exercises to work on helping build endurance? To be honest with you, while people are pigs about transwomen (mostly, I think they think transmen don't exist?), they're seemingly still knocking on their doors for the sessy. I can't tell you a damn thing about dating. Likewise, that was super pig-headed because the person you look good for first and foremost is yourself! But I see you know that. You good mami, no worries! Just love you for you.
It is clean, organized, and essentialist. Many moons ago it was a beautiful den, after that an art gallery. Right now, it's just whatever is easiest to decode, clean and enjoy.
As someone who loves a ginger, I read this as "burn alert system," and saw the creeping sun. When I realized it was about bunnies, it didn't stop the misread as being quite hilarious!
One of the fiercest humans I have ever met was an older woman who was skinnier than a rail because she lived to dance. Did so until her passing, and I didn't think for a second of my knowing her she was anything but feminine. I am sure you can understand, that people are shaped in all sorts of different sizes.
