✨ 7 days until my Surgery ✨

(picture taken Jan 4th, 2022)

I'm very very excited for my surgery (it's my second gender affirming surgery but this one is more significant to me since it'll be top and bottom surgery) and I'm obviously counting the days until it and I thought some people might be interested in my trans journey. So see part 4 below the cut

Part 1 here

I remember some of the physical changes included my skin got a lot softer and I was really obsessed with that. It's fun reminiscing on gender euphoria from this era 🥰 And you can tell I liked my body more because I was getting more comfortable showing skin.

(picture taken nov 25, 2021)

Also, this was the era when I started getting attention on social media (Twitter at the time) for my looks. This was the first picture that I got what I felt like was a lot of attention online from:

(picture taken Oct 2nd, 2021)

Also I want to highlight my fit for the 100 gecs concert bc it really shows the peak of my early transition fashion sense.

(picture taken October 18th, 2021)

This next one was my first Halloween outfit since transitioning!

Also this one of the first times I started getting makeup down which was a big struggle before this. It really is a case of "practice makes perfect". You can't see it much with this picture but I went from not being able to do winged eyeliner to being able to do in under 5 minutes!

Also this was when I started the curly girl method!

I liked the results and so did my hair but it was so much upkeep. I remember my girlfriend at the time (that my partner and were both dating) complained about how fussy I was with my hair but I know she secretly really liked it 🤭 (Also she had bought me everything I'm wearing in the pic above)

(picture taken Dec 9, 2021)

But all things come to an end and that'll be a big part of my next update tomorrow.

A little out of order, but some refs for my SW ocs.

Sib's ref date: Oct. 20th, 2022.

Ka'am's ref date: Nov. 4th, 2022.

The last one was a redesign ref I did for Jaemi, but never posted on instagram, since I was inactive at that time. The date for it is Oct. 9th, 2023. You can see several older art on the side of this ref, that I used to make sure I stayed true to her character. The last two armor drawings are still relevant and used when drawing her. Of course, I gave her a giant hammer.

I sadly have not drawn any of these fan characters recently, rip. They all go by she/her pronouns. Ka'am and Jaemi are roughly the same age, and if I am remembering correctly... Sib is like 6 or 8 years old in her ref.

VIVACE ( Korean : 비바세 ), formerly known as VIVACE GIRLS ( Korean : 비바세 소녀들 ), is a fictional thirteen-member girl group under I-Teen Media which consists of members divided into three sub-units to promote in. They made their official debut on September 17, 2019 with the mini album VIVACE.

In early 2019, Mnet announced the release of a new survival show called I-Doll, which brought over 70 trainees from different countries to compete for a chance to debut in a girl group with a thirteen-member lineup chosen by the viewers. The show came not without controversy, of course; when the final lineup was announced, there were huge rigging and nepotism scandals surrounding the entire show and accusations that the girls who ranked in the top five cheated their way into debuting, which was never confirmed nor denied.

Although VIVACE started with controversies even before their debut, it didn't stop them from quickly winning over the hearts of South Korea with their debut song, Gee!, released three months after the finale of I-Doll. Along with their mini album, Gee! topped the charts and ended up at number 1 on the Gaon Digital Chart only a week after its release. Their following comebacks were no different; with all of their songs topping the charts, VIVACE quickly rose to fame and solidified themselves as not only one of the top groups in Korea but one of the top groups globally.

The members themselves are also a massive topic of discussion around the world, with people questioning if they even like each other sometimes, also commonly getting into scandals; the VIVACE members are called the Messiest Group in Kpop as of recently, and older K-Netz say that VIVACE reminds them a lot of 2nd Gen Kpop with the member's huge solo fanbases and downright nasty attitudes. The members have individually built huge solo careers, have been titled the It-Girls of 4th Gen, and have been undoubtedly one of the most influential and talented girl groups out there recently.

A gaggle of onlookers, staring. Transfixed. But why? As I got closer, I could hear the gasps. The murmurs of disbelief. And then I saw it... And I knew... nothing would ever be the same again.

she didn't come to nc for his birthday in 2022 bc he had to travel nonstop during that time. he talked about how busy he will be during and after his birthday last year but anyways, here's the 2021 timeline

Mar 7: met up for the first time and went to nyc together https://twitter.com/carrotgirlstan/status/1535485922074054656

Mar 13: hung out in LA (this was taken on the same day as karl and q's cooking stream https://twitter.com/JhbTeam/status/1410378469456834561)

Apr 17: karl went to LA for an uno tournament at the 100t compound and they hung out

May: tina was busy moving to las vegas so no meetup (that i know of)

June 8: karl met up with tina in vegas https://twitter.com/corpselofi/status/1402352997682794505

July 16: tina flew to nc for karl's birthday week. he talked about how tina didn't look happy when chandler wished her a hbd 10+ days late. she also followed chandler's wife and mrbeast's gf as well as other people during that time

August 2: tina and karl flew to LA on the same day https://twitter.com/kaydownbad/status/1422451736703213570 (they stayed until the 8th for corpse's birthday) he went to the 100t house on the 4th where tina was staying and showed up on couragejd's stream https://twitter.com/updatingdtqk/status/1423008305136345089

Sept 28: both flew to LA for different things but she went to support him during his first speech at a convention (https://twitter.com/carrotgirlstan/status/1443227096290144257) also this https://twitter.com/tinakittenalt/status/1443778046851387395

Oct 12: karl flew to LA with mrbeast https://twitter.com/carrothonker/status/1448048390432911362 and tina said on her 10/11 vod she has to get ready for a flight tomorrow so she had to end stream early (https://youtu.be/VElmoz47Fs8?t=11881)

Nov ?: both flew to LA not sure when but they hung out with q https://twitter.com/krlnation/status/1464829534088355840

Dec: no meetup (that i know of) bc tina was in pain from dental problems and couldn't travel

i've been noticing these things for so long like their flying schedules have always been in sync. i will say idk if they are dating but it's so obvious they try to meet up consistently every month. neither does this with other friends. there also seems to be a pattern to the few times she went to nc too like they didn't meet up in july 2022 due to karl's busy schedule and then tina showed up to nc in august 2022. they didn't meet up in jan 2023 and tina showed up to nc in feb 2023. who knows what's going on but it's been fun to observe for me

Wow thanks a lot anon. They're definitely super close like actually way closer than most people probably think.

I will tag these with #kina timeline so it's easier to find again

1Nm8 Tweets and ParaTora Consolation Match Posts Translation

Translation of 1Nm8 members Tweets and Paradox Tribe posts from their official accounts about the Consolation Match, from November 18th 2022 (announcement date) to February 15th 2023 (end of voting). 

All dates are according to JST! Posts without links haven't been shared to Twitter and are available only in the ParaTora app.

I decided to repost my earlier translation that went up to February 10th to include latter messages, and because I missed several posts from Paradox Tribe that haven't been linked on Twitter. I'm sorry for the trouble!

Note: these translations prioritize conveying the writing style and meaning of the members' messages, so they aren’t word-for-word.

Also note that this is a thematic compilation about the Consolation match, so I omitted some fluff messages (mostly from Rokuta) and posts about Kei and Itsuki's birthdays, which you can already find on this blog.

Kei, Nov 18th, ‘22

Our words will surely reach you.

Rokuta, Nov 23rd, ‘22

Somehow, I feel like listening to Kei-chan’s songs! Gonna pop into his room later!

Kei, Dec 4rd, ‘22 

A good sound has descended upon me. Let’s follow it a bit further.

Itsuki, Dec 14th, ‘22

Together, we have gone over the song demo produced by Kei. It appears it can still be polished further. He is a man of bottomless talent.

Rokuta, Dec 17, ‘22

I’ll do my best to write lyrics just as good as Kei-chan’s track!

Kei, Dec 21th, ‘22

The song is finished.

Kei, Dec 25th, '22 (Paradox Tribe)

16:06

The song filled with 1Nm8's thoughts and resolve has been completed. We will bet everything on this.

17:53

You've kept Rokuta company in conversation. Thank you.

18:02

Thank you, everyone, for listening to our new song a lot. This time, we've expressed the theme of destruction and regeneration even more vividly. Just like a blue sky reflects in a cracked mirror, or like a withered flower leaves behind it's seeds to create the future, even in harsh conditions, the world goes through change and rebirth. Creating the new world is the role and mission of 1Nm8.

I made the track with the image of taking the status quo that is slowly spiraling downward to rapidly break, purify it and restore it to normal.

In order to write a new chapter, spin a new story for this world, we cannot lose.

Both Rokuta and Itsuki are working even harder than usual. I hope our feelings reach you.

Rokuta, Dec 28th, ‘22

I came up with even better lyrics than before! Let’s take them for a spin and see how they work!

Kei, Dec 28th, ‘22

Rokuta is doing his best too, isn’t he?

Rokuta, Dec 29th, '23 (Paradox Tribe)

In this battle, what I want everyone to pay attention too is the song Kei-chan made, after all! Of course, me and Itsuki-nii did our best, too! I want everyone to listen to it soon! Look forward to it!

Itsuki, Jan 1st, '23

This year will surely be a glorious one for 1Nm8. I ask for your continued support.

Itsuki, Jan 1st, '23 (Paradox Tribe)

Thank you for the numerous messages of support. Let us meet again.

Kei, Jan 4th, ‘23

All is for the sake of our ideals.

Kei, Jan 12th, ‘23

With this power, I shall bring salvation to all. We mustn't allow any more people to experience the pain we did. We will make sure the cycle of suffering breaks with us.

Itsuki, Jan 12th, ‘23

We have a goal we must fulfill. Until we accomplish that, we cannot break. 

Kei, Jan 31st, ‘23 (Paradox Tribe)

13:02

It was nice to log in here after a while. Thank you for all the congratulatory and supportive messages. That there are so many people who share our vision and thoughts about the world gives us a lot of strength. Tomorrow, lets open the first page of the new world.

22:03

Unless we take action, the chain of misfortune caused by phantometal will never be broken. So that the tragic history doesn’t repeat, and so that we may lead peaceful ordinary lives, 1Nm8 intends to seize victory. If Rokuta, Itsuki and myself come together, we can see it through. I would be happy if you all, too, would consider what is right.

Rokuta, Jan 25th, '23 (Paradox Tribe)

16:30

It's so cold today~ Everyone, how are you holding up?

17:20

Talking to you all made me feel so warm! I'm going to take a little nap, too! Thank you for hanging out with me, everyone!

17:20

Oh, and thank you for listening to our song a lot! We'll win for sure!

Rokuta, Jan 31st, ‘23 (Paradox Tribe)

12:16

Everyone, hello! Today is Kei-chan's birthday, and tomorrow is the battle! Please support us!

13:00

Thank you for your support, everyone! Also, thank you for celebrating Kei-chan's birthday a lot! Tomorrow, we'll do our best together! Bye bye!

21:50

I’ll be the one to protect our “everyday”  with Kei-chan and Itsuki-nii! I’d be happy if you gave us a lot of support! Let’s meet up on the stage! 

Itsuki, Jan 31st, ‘23 (Pradox Tribe)

There’s no other path for us than to win this battle.

Kei, Feb 1st, ‘23 (Paradox Tribe)

With these hands, I will grant salvation to all.

Kei, Feb 1st, ‘23

We will create the ideal world, with our own hands.

Rokuta, Feb 1st, ‘23

This is us during the rehearsal!

Itsuki, Feb 1st, ‘23

Winning here will lead us to the future. We cannot fail here.

Kei, Feb 2nd, '23

I would be happy if 1Nm8's thoughts were conveyed through yesterday's performance. We will fight until the end, so please support us.

Rokuta, Feb 3rd, ‘23

Thank you for supporting us a lot! We’ll work even harder, so come with us, everyone!

Rokuta, Feb 7th, ‘23

Everyone, thank you for your support! I’ll keep doing my best so I can become Kei-chan and Itsuki-nii’s strength and support them both!

Itsuki, Feb 8th, ‘23 (Paradox Tribe)

The turning point is still ahead. The current result is within the range we can pull it back from.

Itsuki, Feb 9th, '23 (Paradox Tribe)

21:05

Itsuki here. Thank you for coming to the live on February 1st. I am late, but that is what I want to say.

21:49

Excuse me, I need to prepare for tomorrow. Once again, let me express my gratitude. These days, I feel reassured to have the support of so many Heads. At the same time, your support allows me to reconfirm that our way of thinking is not mistaken, and I am able to continue the battle. For the sake of Rokuta, Kei, and for the sake of the world of tomorrow, we plan to keep fighting. No matter what we have to sacrifice.

Kei, Feb 10th, ‘23 (Paradox Tribe)

We’ve accepted everyone’s feelings. If we lose, the chains of misfortune will stay unbroken. We will win no matter what. I ask for your support until the end.

Rokuta, Feb 12th, '23 (Paradox Tribe)

I won't give up yet! If it all ends here, we will... I don't want that! We have to work harder and harder.

Itsuki, Feb 12th, '23 (Paradox Tribe, reply to Rokuta)

Even with all this support, the wall we're facing is still so high? Yet, I haven't completely lost hope. It's worth it risking everything for this.

Kei, Feb 12th. '23 (Paradox Tribe, reply to Rokuta)

I feel everyone's voices becoming one. Just a bit more... Just a little more.

Rokuta, Feb 13th, '23 (Paradox Tribe)

It's just a bit more! Thanks to everyone's support, I feel so warm. I will do my best until the end, too!

Itsuki, Feb 14th, '23 (Paradox Tribe)

We cannot give up. We want to give shape to the support we've received from many Heads who sympathize with 1Nm8's ideals.

Rokuta, Feb 15th, '23

15:09

Everyone, thank you for supporting us! There's still a little time left, so make sure you haven't forgotten to vote～～!

Kei, Feb 15th, '23 (Paradox Tribe)

Thank you for your support. This should become a big step towards furthering our ideals. I would like to to win this battle and open a new page of our story.

Itsuki, Feb 15th, '23

I'm grateful for your support. It's an undeniable fact that many Heads have endorsed us. Now, we can only wait for the results.

21 Game Boy Advance Games We'd Love To See Added To Nintendo Switch Online

We have additionally abstained from including Pokémon; it is a given we might love to see them, however transferring and buying and selling Pokémon in a recreation with Save States will get messy, a minimum of from Nintendo's perspective. Maybe we'll see a wonderful workaround with these explicit entries, though we predict it is extra possible we'll see Pokémon remakes reasonably than re-releases.Sufficient with the caveats! Let's check out 21 GBA gems we might like to revisit by way of Nintendo Swap On-line.

Writer: Nintendo / Developer: Nintendo R&D1Launch Date: 2nd Feb 2004 (USA) / 4th Apr 2004 (UK/EU)Metroid: Zero Mission is a superb 2004 remake of the unique Metroid, and a recreation that is within the dialog for 'finest remake evs' (if that dialog is being held with a young person through the 2010s). Zero Mission tells the story of the primary entry, however with far snazzier visuals and Tremendous Metroid-inspired gameplay. With save rooms and a bunch of latest gadgets, areas, and mini-bosses, that is the best way to expertise Samus' first mission. Sorry, zero-st mission. If it got here all the way down to a duel, there are Nintendo Life staffers who would really take this over the SNES recreation. It is that good.

Writer: Activision / Developer: Vicarious VisionsLaunch Date: eleventh Jun 2001 (USA) / twenty second Jun 2001 (UK/EU)Vicarious Visions managed to distil the essence of the full-sized Tony Hawk titles into an unbelievable isometric model that feels tight, responsive and really a lot not the compulsory downgraded handheld port you might need anticipated. Tony Hawk's Professional Skater 2 on GBA is genuinely considered one of our favorite entries within the total sequence, with nice music and cracking visuals. And Spider-Man. What's to not love?

Writer: SEGA / Developer: TreasureLaunch Date: 18th Aug 2004 (USA) / 18th Feb 2005 (UK/EU)This Treasure-developed tackle Osamu Tezuka's basic character was an actual looker within the GBA's library — becoming given the status of the property and the adoration of manga and anime followers all over the world. Versus Treasure's ordinary output, Astro Boy: The Omega Issue is extra platforming beat 'em up than run-and-gunner (with a couple of shmup-style levels thrown in for good measure). It efficiently blends conventional manga-style presentation of the characters in dialogue portraits with extra rounded 3D-esque sprites and backgrounds for the motion. It is an actual winner; a licensed recreation that lives as much as the supply materials.

Writer: Nintendo / Developer: HAL LaboratoryLaunch Date: 2nd Dec 2002 (USA) / twenty sixth Sep 2003 (UK/EU)Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a worthy remake of Kirby's first house console journey and having simply celebrated his thirtieth anniversary, this is able to be a pleasant tribute to the little pink fella after what has been a stellar 12 months between 2022 and 2023. Whereas what it affords is a tad primary in comparison with what extra trendy Kirby titles provide, it is nonetheless very playable, and there are little artistic moments the place recreation often shines. As with virtually each different recreation that includes the Kirbster, its pleasant, vibrant visuals make it a supremely charming expertise, and one which will probably be most appreciated by gamers searching for solely a really gentle problem. Certain, Kirby & the Superb Mirror is a good entry and that one is out there, however that is the one we actually wish to see.

Writer: SEGA / Developer: TreasureLaunch Date: sixth Oct 2005 (USA) / 4th Nov 2005 (UK/EU)Gunstar Tremendous Heroes (or Gunstar Future Heroes in Europe) is a sequel that lives as much as the status of the identify it awkwardly sandwiches a 'Tremendous' in the midst of. The gameplay and controls of Treasure's basic 1993 Mega Drive recreation are altered to work higher on the transportable, however the result's each bit as compelling, even when it is on the brief aspect and would not characteristic co-op play. As run and gun video games go, Gunstar Heroes is up there with the easiest. This sequel can also be excellent — one would possibly even say tremendous. Or future when you're European and wish to be awkward.

Writer: Nintendo / Developer: Jupiter CompanyLaunch Date: twenty fifth Aug 2003 (USA) / 14th Nov 2003 (UK/EU)Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire is an fulfilling entry-level pinball recreation designed to attraction to as broad an viewers as potential. Its vibrant, charming visuals look nice, and the huge variety of Pokémon out there to catch and evolve implies that when you’re searching for a long-term dip-in, dip-out form of recreation, you’ll have lots to maintain you occupied. That is the proper little recreation for brief play periods, and can fill the Pokémon hole simply in case Pokémon Emerald would not hop onto NSO.

Writer: SEGA / Developer: DimpsLaunch Date: third Feb 2002 (USA) / eighth Mar 2002 (UK/EU)Within the a long time for the reason that surprising first look of Sega's mascot on a Nintendo handheld, it is truthful to say that not each group that is labored on a 2D Sonic recreation has nailed the fragile sense of inertia and tight physics that characterise the basic 16-bit titles. Sonic Advance is one such instance that simply will get it. Developer Dimps retains the basic really feel and course design that made the originals particular whereas including contemporary components that stop it from feeling like a re-tread of previous concepts. Vibrant visuals, charming animation, wonderful audio; add multiplayer into the combo — in addition to the Tiny Chao Backyard that linked to the Gamecube — and Sonic Advance is a platforming deal with up there with hedgehog's most interesting.

Writer: Sq. Enix / Developer: Sq. EnixLaunch Date: eighth Sep 2003 (USA) / twenty fourth Oct 2003 (UK/EU)Whereas rumours of a Last Fantasy Ways remaster have been swirling round for some time, Nintendo has already had a style of what Last Fantasy Ways can provide within the type of Last Fantasy Ways Advance. Levelling up your clan, discovering one of the best weapons and making an attempt to out-think the enemy results in endlessly fulfilling battling, and there are sufficient variables in location, legal guidelines and opponent talents to forestall issues changing into too repetitive. Even when battles get simple with an OP clan, they continue to be entertaining. It may be tough to search out what you might be searching for amongst the numerous menu screens, however as soon as you realize the place to look Last Fantasy Ways Advance will divert and delight you for a protracted ol' time. Beautiful.

Writer: THQ / Developer: Vicarious VisionsLaunch Date: twenty fourth Jun 2003 (USA) / twentieth Feb 2004 (UK/EU)Maybe it’s the announcement that Sega is outwardly engaged on a reboot that’s getting the higher of us, however we do love a little bit of Jet Grind/Set. On the Dreamcast, Jet Grind Radio oozed extra type than ought to have legally been allowed. Plenty of what made the sport particular there survived the leap to the GBA, however in fact the apparent {hardware} limitations necessitated a couple of reduce corners right here and there. Contemplating this, Vicarious Visions — the studio that did such a incredible job of translating the Tony Hawk's Professional Skater sequence to GBA — most likely could not have completed a significantly better job at adapting it to the small display screen. When you're used to its quirks, you will discover a loopy, incredible gem of a recreation.

Writer: Atlus / Developer: QuestLaunch Date: twenty first Jun 2001 (USA)For a lot of sequence, the phrases “aspect story” are seen as a handy excuse to trot out a half-baked rehash of a preferred title – however Ways Ogre has by no means been like different sequence. This GBA-exclusive entry within the long-running Ogre Battle saga is as richly detailed and politically intricate as another you possibly can point out, and lurking beneath that already fully-featured floor are an entire host of secret characters and particular endings simply ready to be found.

Writer: Nintendo / Developer: Nintendo SPDLaunch Date: twenty third Might 2005 (USA)The third recreation in Wario's microgame sequence, WarioWare Twisted! by no means discovered its strategy to Europe, however its gyro sensor added a brand new aspect to the manic method established two video games prior and made it one of many highlights of Wario's again catalogue. Because of that sensor within the cart, it isn't a recreation you will wish to plug into the Sport Boy Participant in your GameCube, however the primary bitesize gameplay holds up simply as effectively right this moment because it did within the mid-2000s. Let's Twist once more. Source link Read the full article
