can i offer some Jenny mikus in these trying times
hi, i'm trans internet weirdo frog k, the writer, and i need help pretty fucking bad. during a long period of inertia on social media which didn't really involve much more than sitting in a chair and staring off into space most days, i had a horrible wakeup call when, after a series of falls and other minor injuries from my legs being too numb to maintain my gait, investigation turned up a cluster of severe b-vitamin deficiencies. i have been broke for a very long time, and stringing stuff along like i have been has been killing me. it's not like you get most of your calories from ramen, oil, and tvp without knowing it's gonna catch up to you, but i didn't really anticipate the way that catching up looked would be a gradual and expanding numbness and low-level and escalating dementia.
at this point i'm just trying to get my shit together physically to the point that vocational rehab is even reasonable. i've made decent progress with vitamin supplements and shit, but i don't have my head above water enough at present to justify getting three square meals a day, and that's going to cause problems whatever pills i take about it.
i'm currently hoping to raise $600, but literally anything would help, and even if you can't give anything, please reblog and all that. i'm sincerely hoping once i'm able to get all this shit sorted, i'll be able to go back to being a person. cashapp - $asimplefrog ko-fi (for paypal users) - frogk thank you all so so much!!!

Hi, my name is Franz and if you are taking the time to read this you probably know me and know a little bit of my story. After living as an out transgender woman since 2016, these past couple years I have been making a concerted effort to relieving my gender dysphoria through surgery. Sadly, my university insurance does not cover any procedures besides bottom surgery, leaving me currently saving up money to the best of my ability, and going into debt if I can't, to cover everything else that I need in order to feel comfortable in my own skin.
I have a lot of dysphoria around the shape of my body. I have gotten comments from family on my awkward proportions, and there are whole sections of myself I can't feel comfortable to have shown publicly. Basically, my shape is very masculine, and I am hopeful that MTF body contouring can alleviate this issue. The procedure will transfer fat from my abdomen to my hips and buttocks, giving me the feminine shape that has unfortunately eluded me after almost 7 years of feminizing hormone therapy.
I have put down a deposit for surgery with Dr. Wendell Perry at The Secret Plastic Surgery, a surgical center in Miami, FL. I have hunted around for the best deal possible on this procedure, while still being able to see a board certified plastic surgeon who is familiar with the procedure. My tentative surgical date is July 24, 2024.
The funds raised through this campaign will directly contribute to the costs of the surgery, post-operative care, travel, lodging, and any unforeseen medical expenses. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to a future where I am less and less afraid of the body I see in the mirror every day.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and support in helping me achieve a milestone in my transition.
i think abt that tweet that was like "voice training? no thanks, maybe you should do ears training" every single day that shit changed something in me

Recency bias is a bigger problem than it used to be
Just realized I never posted my fursona here. Hi.
i am once again reminded of the fact that toby fox is a genius at comedic pacing
there is a very big difference i think between "i was and am a semi-public figure/niche internet microcelebrity and it felt incredibly weird and gross to have strangers speculate on my gender identity" and "my friend who i personally know joked that i might be trans and that helped me figure a lot out" and I think a lot of egg discourse happens when someone acts like these are both the same thing that should be treated the same
speculating someone is trans whether seriously or as a joke can either be helpful or harmful depending on who is doing it and who it's being done to and that's fine, know your audience and relation to a person i guess
if you are coming at this from the angle of protecting innocent cis people from the horrors of being presumed to be a trans woman then i do not care about you though. I've had enough of that "can't we just let men be feminine" coded dogwhistle shit. fix your heart or die,
cats are small and can use your hand as a pillow

kinda wild how the vast majority of fishing historically has been done with nets and continues to be done with nets, and yet the popular depictions of fishing generally are a fishing rod. not even a spear or trap smh. but genuinely It's really interesting to think about that and the implied worldview etc. like fishing as an individual recreational activity instead of a way of sustaining life/populations.
yeah that's exactly what i was saying
(suddenly serious) what i was saying was that Dungeon Meshi has some really well-written characters that also have flaws. half the cast constantly gives Laios shit for being socially awkward, Laios forgets about the basics of human decency a couple of times when interacting with Izutsumi, the funny late-story villain squad are 80% convicted criminals, basically every character is a bit racist in some way, and, yes, Marcille, everyone's favorite silly little disaster lesbian, gets the "ick" about Tall-men portraying the characters in her favorite romance novel because she thinks they're too ugly and pouts about the idea of Falin (her dear beloved Falin) wearing clothes that she would be happy and comfortable wearing because "that stuff is for men"
i feel really silly talking about this but a weird thing that happened for me when the Dungeon Meshi anime took off and the fandom really exploded was seeing how weirdly cutesified a lot of fan depictions of the characters was. the "canon versus fanon" of it all, if you will. a week or so ago there was a bonus comic drawn by Ryoko Kui that got spread around Twitter about a What If situation in which Laios got eaten instead of Falin, and people were shocked about the idea of the party basically immediately giving up on the idea of saving Laios, including at least one "why does the writer think she knows so much" joke (i'm hoping it was a joke), which really baffled me because it just made sense to me that the party initially wasn't all that close to Laios (besides Falin, obviously). the relationship of the main cast is something that grows over the series. please read that carefully: the main cast does care for one another, they care for Laios, it's just that it's something that is developed over the course of the manga... and even that idea was too much for some fans
i'm probably going to sound really snobby, but i think there's a lot of people who are more fans of the fanart than the actual series...
i was mainly being silly when i was like "yeah let Marcille be weird about gender" but i was also kind of serious because it kind of is a prominent part of her character. it speaks to the world she lives in, what she values and finds important, and if you think about it, it actually speaks a lot to the subtext around her and Falin: Marcille hates "gross things," Marcille hates being uncomfortable, Marcille thinks women should be girly, and men should be masculine, and yet she willingly journeys down into a gross dungeon and eats weird monsters in order to save Falin, a woman who likes bugs, fucking around in the dirt, and pants. what do you think that implies about Marcille?
i appreciate writers that don't smooth all the rough edges off their characters. in Kui's case, we all know she's put massive amounts of thought into the world Dungeon Meshi takes place in, and the views of her character reflect all these thoughts. i don't think Marcille being "conservative" is an accident- i would go so far as to say that i don't think the "contradiction" of Marcille's love of Falin is an accident. i think this is all the sign of good writing, and i think it's a diservice to the writer to try and make these characters more "palatable" (and fit all the corny "found family" memes lol)
lying in bed for an hour and a half after waking up should not pass time in my opinion
nobody can ever say "hey, egg jokes make me uncomfortable, make sure your friends are comfortable with the way you talk about them", it always has to be "calling a cis man an egg is actually just like misgendering a trans woman. Worse, even" doesn't it.
