"jeez, why is everyone on your ship so miserable-lookin'?"

"because three days ago that asshole Jerry was trying to download some holosuite porn from a dodgy site and introduced a virus into the network that makes all the replicators add in 3% of fish sauce to everything they make"

"...oh wow"

"yeeeah. you think i'm pissy about fishy coffee, though, you should see engineering. apparently fish sauce isn't great for the structural stability of nuts and bolts"

Behavioral health quandary 

I'm at a crossroads in my own programming that comes down to something like This:

I care for people deeply and never feel like I'm doing enough. > I try and care for people More and get better at it > eventually break down or have a bad day and try and articulate my own needs > Succeed at articulating my own needs > Realize that I don't have anyone in my social circles who can fill this need.

And not because I'm surrounded by uncaring or incapable people, but that what I Want/Need is unreasonable.
But then held up to the mirror, asking myself if I'd go to those lengths for a friend I knew was hurting, I'd say Yes without hesitation? Like, that level of caring for someone else isn't unreasonable for Me, but feels unreasonable to ask from anyone else?

I'm being vague here because I'm really asking if I've painted myself into an emotional corner. I don't want to burn myself out caring for others, but don't know how to ask for what I need without feeling needy, greedy, ashamed or like I'm a burden.

'Cause I know what it's like to handle Burdens for folks for months, and what it's like to appear outta nowhere and be a Hero for a day.

I can dress like this here, because I spend so much of my time fixing motorcycles and digging holes.

Easy to be confident in your body and presentation when the night before you were wrangling a big motorcycle engine back into it's frame.

Finally, we've collected the last piece of the Millennium Motorcycle, Carburetors of the Forbidden One!

May the ritual Commence.

tf concept, kobolds 

Adventurers try to steal from a dragon using a potion of disguise, only to discover the real treasure is the kobolds they are made into along the way.

I identify as hermaphrodite because no matter the gender or preferences, I've got something for everyone.

My personal hero is Ahmad el Abed, a Lebanese tailor immortalised in an iconic series of photographs taken between 1948 and 1953 by Hashem el Madani, who described Ahmad as "in-between man and woman". These photos show Ahmad modelling gender-neutral clothing which they designed.

Ah yes, the two genders: Manic depressive programmer transgirl and Cute uwu enby boi.

Gender Crap 

So, I spent three years working thru my misandry problems and dysphoria and that weird feeling of Original Sin I had from being born with a Y chromosome, better understood my mind, spirits, and my place in the world.
Decided to take Estrogen .
Got super affirmed in my masculine role overnight, all dysphoria vanishes, my bits start working right for the first time in Forever, and my lingering irritation Vanishes.

Like wait, HRT just nullified all the shit I -Hated- about being a guy. In fact, some guy stuff is actually Attractive now.

So, uh... Problem solved? Not the way I'd expected, but kinda what I'd secretly hoped for? I'm okay with being a masculine hermaphrodite. Wasn't anywhere near as okay with trying to be a Woman or a Man...

I want my Job for two years to be building homes, greenhouses, and landscape features on a 10 acre bit of forest for a bunch of furries who want a settler village to live in.

And then switch over to the village Mad Scientist. I fully intend to build a Trebuchet.

@Drezil @mwt A professor of mine said: "You're becoming engineers. That does not mean you need to know everything in your profession. It means you should know the theory and concepts. This will tell you what to Google if you don't know stuff by heart."

Furry Roleplay is way too meta when you're a multiple system and can lead to some... Troubles if you're in character as one of your alters Directly.

For the other person, it's an RP, for that alter, it's kinda More Real.
