Made this one somewhat last minute, but here goes- my reccomendations for this week are a yuri "mystery" VN that's near and dear to my heart (that goes into processing grief) though it's been a while since I last played it, and a cute and sloppy (not bad sloppy) manga about crossdressing (and if you ask me is honestly at least kinda genderfuckery).

I figured I'd also add BonnieBugsy's "Ranma Lazuli" fanfic series (available on Ao3) to make it a triple feature because why the hell not. The two fics I can recommend (not having completed the other large fic yet though I'm sure it would deserve equal recommendation) are pretty near and dear to me as well.

CONTENT WARNINGSSeaBed: processing grief Handsome Girl and Crossdressing Boy: some chapters, particularly the extras, can be particularly suggestive/R18+ Ranma Lazuli: for the two fanfics specifically I'm discussing, "Skies of Blue, Red Roses Too" covers dysphoria and abusive family circumstances, with the premise of the titular Ranma escaping these and finding a place where she can be and grow into herself. "I of the Storm," in contrast, deals with the abusive and unhealthy dynamics of that "place where nothing ever gets better" from the perspective of someone still living within it- Akane- who herself, also has to deal with her anger and the consequences of (being a victim, but also perpetrator of) abuse, apathy, and past mistakes, while moving past that environment herself.

Premise and things I liked about (SeaBed)Sachiko and Takako were childhood friends and lovers, but unknown circumstances tore them apart. Now they have to piece together the puzzle, as Sachiko keeps hallucinating about Takako, and Takako deals with memory issues of her own.

Personally, Seabed can come across as a bit of a slog (but in a good way- and in a way appropriate to the themes of grief, of mental processing and memory issues, etc). And it can be very heavy. I played it during a time when I was dealing with grief among other things myself and I loved it- I intend to play it again someday (ideally soon), but needless to say it won't be for everyone.

Premise and things I liked about (Handsome Girl and Crossdressing Boy)Admittedly, this is just comfy, queer (IMO), somewhat suggestive (YMMV, if it were just up to me I'd not even consider it NSFW but it's definitely toeing a line and considering cultural and even circumstantial differences of different online spaces- well yea) and sappy light-hearted romance. Iori is a crossdressing boy(? very eggy if you ask me), and Hazuki is a handsome girl. Needless to say gender is a fuck.

The extra chapters (generally noticeable as something like "chapter 23.5" instead of being an outright "chapter 23" for instance) can be even moreso questionably/maybe "NSFW/18+" (though if you ask me that's all "western puritanism and backwardness/regressiveness" which they then infected many other parts of the world with)

Premise and things I liked about (BonnieBugsy's 'Ranma Lazuli' fanfic series)The two "Ranma Lazuli" fics I can recommend (the others I either haven't read yet or are very short) are both what I would describe as "coming of age/graduation(?)" plots, wherein Ranma moves from her abusive, overwhelming, demanding upbringing to the welcoming and progressive Beach City from Steven Universe (no knowledge of either series is necessary IMO to enjoy these fics, that said) and is finally able to develop within such a healthier environment, and Akane comes to terms with and breaks free of the fallout and that unhealthy environment in her own way, in her own separate life.

Both fics, I feel, correlate with my own defining experiences on many levels- whether it be Ranma's growth and the liberating feeling of finding a positive, comfy space and escaping the small, shitty, abusive world she was raised in prior, or in Akane's own growth and rejection of that same small world, as well as the permanence of one's actions having come from and having been a part of what made that world so small and unhealthy to begin with, and growing past that and coming to terms with it.

cw sexIs there any weird things that you find attractive? I don't mean "ew gross weird" but just like "how do you even find that attractive" weird. Because for me it is totally backs. It's definitely my funniest fetish because backs are just backs but like... damn... a bare back... crush especially if there's tattoos goddamn

Misc shower thoughts:

complaining about social expectationsI was talking with my therapist about who I've come out to, and he strongly encouraged me to come out to my irl guy friend. Which I want to do any way (meant to last week, hopefully tomorrow [actually going to message him and let him know after this]). But he then said something, essentially that it would be a bad look to only tell her and keep it from him (they are in a relationship). And I agree, but was thinking about it and its kinda bs. Like if I was a cis woman no one would expect me to tell her bf anything personal. idk just a thing.

How do you/should I exfoliate? I tried a sugar scrub today and liked it but didn't know if there was some other/better way to do it I guess.

Also my razor is dragging on my skin, not gliding like it used to. This means its dull and I should get a new one, right? ~~I wasn't taught anything~~

sick animal, possibility of euthanasiaFamily cat has got terminal kidney disease, she's pretty old just under 20. It's technically my brothers cat, he got it when he was a teenager so as you might imagine it actually became my mom's cat cause he did about the level of care expected of a teenager thar demands a pet but is quite bad at keeping up chores. Then she became my sisters cat when she was grown up - and then back to my mom when sister went abroad to study. Now I'm watching this cat.

The cats feeling better after being pretty badly dehydrated. Ive just been giving some oral rehydration solution that's more or less the same as people get. But there will likely be no longer term recovery and we've got to talk tonight about options.

The vet (me too) think a short course of IV rehydration would be best along with a low protein diet and a special med that helps out kidneys in this kind of damage - but it's expensive, like >$1K which no one in the family has to drop on a cat this old. Another option is SQ hydration which will likely not be nearly as effective, but I'm comfortable doing, along with a little PO rehydration which I'm doing right now anyway - it's significantly cheaper, just $50 for the supplies. Third option is euthanasia soon - this is a terminal condition and it will be the thing that kills her one way or another, what we'd like is quality life until sis is back from abroad but none of us have a spare $1K around and it's hard to say if she'll live that long even with the "premium" IV rehydration. Fourth option isn't really a choice but I guess we could gamble on PO rehydration until she gets sicker and sicker and then someone decides it's enough and we euthanize or she passes on her own.

Shes also pretty constipated (due to the dehydration), vet thinks lactulose/bisacodyl/?PEG or whatever could help but the degree of firmness suggests she may need an enema and then removal for which she'd have to be put under anesthesia - which she may not survive given her state of health and age. I think we're good trying some lactulose at home and seeing what happens after a day or two.

I paid for the bloodwork, pretty expensive. $400 yeesh.

I really like those hats that are like... princess cone hats, but doubled so its kinda maleficent-like. Also the kinda jester hat depicted in pop culture, like Harle from chrono cross or the Nights into Dreams character. Sometimes I see people wearing hats that are like a crossover of the double princess / jester hat. I think they look so cool. 🤩

I'm cursed that whenever I hear someone's name is Nina, I start singing "the Nina, the pinta, the Santa Maria" and then the rest of the lyrics from Sleep Now In the Fire by RATM until the guitar kicks in.
