Salubrious

A grand and intoxicating innocence

  • She/Her 🏳️‍⚧️

Hey, don't ask me my opinion -- I'm nobody. Just pretend I'm not here.

I mostly just post about things tangentially related to The Simpsons, or Morrowind or The X-COM Files.

Haven't looked at Cohost much lately, whoops! I've been looking at bluesky a lot more lately as it's been easier to consume for the particular strain of ADHD I've been going through (you can follow me over there too if you wanna) and actually started posting things instead of just observing. It became a miserable place to look at for a while last week though so I'm reminding myself to use Cohost as well so if shit goes down in one place I can still scroll elsewhere in peace.


Housekeeping

The Salubrious (Rex) handle is on its way out, it aint me anymore - mostly the Rex part which I shed a little while ago, but Salubrious on it's own is just kinda boring. Against my usual instinct to not use my name in things, I'm trialing Vicious Bec or possib-lie Devious Bec cause it sounds the same and I kinda like 'em. I think I've used both of these as Runescape names at some point as well. This also means I need to ditch the ol' profile pic because it doesn't make sense without the Salubrious name1. I dunno what my new face on the internet shall be though, I'm not a use-your-own-actual-face type gal, I also considered a picrew but I can never get those looking a way I'd like and this attempt was no exception. So I guess I'm waiting until I stumble on something I want to steal or I come up with something I like enough that I'd want to commission it (which would mean I have to reeeeaaaaallly wanna use that for a while).


The trans stuff

Going well! Approaching 4 months HRT and I'm feeling great.

I don't think I posted about it here, but I came out to my dad a while ago, and it went really well! Unfortunately the weeks that followed have just become more and more depressing every time I see him and realise that he is shithouse at being supportive and this development has only contributed to his already existing depression and the vibe I get every time I see him lately is that I'm being mourned. All the hope and optimism I had from his initial reaction is gone as I've been deadnamed almost every single time I see him and repeatedly shown my fuckin baby photos. I guess I just wait it out and try to find the ability to call him out on it more often.

Anyway that's depressing, here's the fun stuff! I've made a few really nice connections with other trans women and queer people on line that have honestly been so wonderful being able to share with each other and also just be friends with such people. Kicks ass, hell yeah. I also had a really nice experience the other day where at a party for my best friend, everyone had gone to bed except myself, my best friend, and two others and I realised well after the fact that each of us four are in some way lgbtq - learned that night that best friend is bi, hell yeah! So staying up to the wee hours of the morning chatting with 3 other queer people was really nice and it fulfilled a need I'd been chasing since I started transition for IRL interaction with others like myself which so far I'd had no luck with whatsoever, turns out I kind of had it all along and I just didn't know. My world's becoming so much more colourful.

Oh I've also started working on some voice training! I got an app for it which has been pretty good (I think, I have no frame of reference for this!) and at the very least I'm now understanding things I can do to make my voice sound different if I remember to use them. Voice exercises make you feel really really silly too, so that's been fun.


Final Fantasy

Ohhh lord I'm deep into headcanoning my WoL, she's such a little freak. Some friends in discord have been sharing a lot of their own WoL's and we've been talking about our characters and their histories and stuff and filled out extensive character background surveys and aaaaaaaaaaaa I love it it's so fun. I miss doing this kind of shit. Maybe I'll do a post about Neath Moon-and-star and what a little dork she is, idk.

Besides that, I've been enjoying MSQ very very slowly, I'm up to 4.4 patch in Stormblood and it's been good. Stormblood overall I didn't enjoy nearly as much as Heavensward, but it was still pretty solid and the 4.2 and 4.3 MSQ were very enjoyable.

And that's it, bye!
