Reasons why I'm obsessed with I Want to Be a Cute Anime Girl by @azulcrescent:

The story is warm, wholesome, and lovely.

The central conceit of starting transition with a desire to be a cute anime girl perfectly matches my own experience.

It's the first piece of media I've seen to clearly capture a strange and powerful epiphany I had early in transition: that all men aren't secretly caught in a painful, constant desire to become women.

Another entry for the Log of Strange Mid-Transition Experiences: I've started getting really bad dysphoria around my deadname and masculine titles like "mister," but I'm still not out at work, so I've started signing emails and notes with just my last name, no title or first name or anything. From the inside, it's the only way to navigate the situation, but from the outside I probably seem like some kind of insufferable egotist who wants to be seen as an intellectual giant known by last-name alone like Shakespeare or Newton.

The inherent subjectivity of "anime-inspired" is doing a lot of legwork here.

Then again, maybe that's a challenge. If you could make a legitimate argument for these being anime-inspired (specifically the bottom row because, living fuck, what is a four-disc set of the whole God's Not Dead saga doing there?) I'd be really impressed.

Your photo shows you wearing a mask, but you've cast aside the mask within.

Thank you! Honestly, the courage I got from the cosplay is one thing that has helped me girlmode maskless more often lately!

i think you might be my idol

Thank you so much! Hearing this (and all the other love my post has gotten), has put me in this mood for the past week:

Update: It was one of the best days of my life! Everybody was so friendly and upbeat and there were amazing cosplays and art pieces all over the place! Plus, getting compliments from people on my costume was like a straight injection of dopamine to my brain! It helps that Bocchi's vibe is flustered and bedraggled, so my half-assed costume and messy wig added to the aesthetic. Going back tomorrow; so excited!

Almost exactly one year ago, my Dad made fun of some some cosplayers heading to the annual anime convention. This single mention sent me on the following sequence of thoughts and actions:

Remembering that I always wanted to go to anime conventions back in high school but was scared of my family disapproving.

Realizing that, now that I'm an adult with my own car and money, I can go without even telling anyone.

Realizing that, if I went, I'd want to cosplay.

Realizing that, even though I thought of myself as male at the time, the only cosplay that was appealing to me were female characters, specifically Hitori Gotoh from Bocchi the Rock.

Studying and practicing makeup to see if I could pass as a woman, specifically Hitori.

Despairing that I would never know enough makeup to pass as a woman.

Realizing from the crippling dysphoria I was suddenly feeling (and a bunch of other shit that I'd repressed for years) that I was trans.

Coming out to a bunch of people.

Getting laser hair removal.

Going on HRT.

Buying a $32.99 Hitori Gotoh cosplay set.

Buying a ticket for the local anime convention.

And tomorrow I'll go to the convention wearing the cosplay that sparked my transition. Thank you, Bocchi!

Twilight and the Pokémon TV show have precisely the same problem: they established a pattern of introducing new characters, then stop after just two. Ash has Brock and Misty, the first two gym leaders, travel around the world with him, but why stop there? Why not keep recruiting every single gym leader he meets until, by season eight or so, there's a town's-worth of world-class expert Pokémon trainers following this random thirteen-year-old, sleeping on the ground and wandering around aimlessly? And why does Bella stop acquiring monster-boyfriends after the second book? Wouldn't Breaking Dawn be so much more fun if it was a vampire, a werewolf, a succubus, and a zombie fighting over her? And it could've kept on going until Forks, Washington was mostly populated with horny monsters obsessed with this one teenager. And, as for The Wizard of Oz...

You know, between Birdy the Mighty and Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl, I'm starting to think that this whole transitioning thing would be a whole lot easier if I could somehow get an alien to crush me to death on accident.

This is my first Ide of March on Tumblr, and I'm still learning the culture and customs of this website, so I'm not going to do anything too extravagant. I hope that's okay; I know this holiday means a lot to many people here, and I want you to know that my relatively milquetoast remarks do not show a lack of enthusiasm, but simply a certain timidity as I enter this community. Anyway, here I go:

I would like to stab Julius Caesar until he has died.

Thank you, and I wish you all a lovely March 15.
