Final Fantasy XI

Final Fantasy XI is the eleventh numbered installment in the… Okay, you know what it is, I’m just going to tell you about one of the storylines!

During the Wings of the Goddess expansion, adventurers will be sent back in time to experience the events of the Crystal War, a cataclysmic event that is the foundation for conflicts of the modern-day timeline. Should an adventurer choose to serve the Kingdom of San d’Oria, they will be immersed in the story of the Young Griffons—a group of children who would see themselves knights, many of whom grow into prominent characters later in life.

Among the Young Griffons, the player will find Bistillot, a shy boy who doesn’t like to be seen. With his penchant for engineering, shy demeanor, and lack of combat potential, Bistillot prefers to spend his time inside of an orcish war machine that he was able to repair to working condition.

He is often seen before he is heard, with his signature phrase, “HAAAALLOOOOOOOOO” being used to hail the adventurer. Through the course of the story, Bistillot finds his way, even contributing to the war effort with his engineering skills.

However, when another member of the Young Griffons is kidnapped and taken to the present day, the adventurer must return to the present day and reunite with the Young Griffons’ present selves! The adventurer’s first contact in the present day is Bistillot. When the adventurer hears the signature “HAAAALLOOOOOOO,” Bistillot approaches the player, but what the player sees is… a woman?? She introduces herself as Bostilette, a “friend of Bistillot.”

After the rescue mission, Bostilette comes clean. She is, of course, the very same Bistillot who was a little boy twenty years earlier. She explains that she was very sick as a baby, so her parents gave her a boy’s name so that she would be stronger and survive the illness. Once she overcame the illness, she was comfortable to reclaim her name and gender. Well, that closes the book on that story, except… I’ve decided that’s bullshit!

I have unilaterally decided that Bostilette is trans, the sickness she had was dysphoria, she stayed in the orcish war machine because she was an egg, and I hope you all agree!

::: spoiler internalized transphobia(?) Does anyone else feel like they can't fully come out until they can 'prove' themselves? Like for example I can't help but feel like I'm 'not allowed' to ask for my desired pronouns/name from friends or my partner or people in general if I don't first at least get rid of facial hair and at the bare minimum sound like I'm voice training.

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

sorry you're going through this. maybe it is internalised transphobia, not sure. i encourage you to strive to overcome those feelings though, if you're in an environment where it's relatively materially safe to do so. for my part, i didn't really feel the "not allowed" bit, more just fear, but i think in hindsight one of the best things i did in very early transition was just commit hard. not trying to toot my own horn or whatever, presenting masc just became way too painful for me very fast. i came out to friends and family and started presenting fem before HRT, liberally used concealer before starting laser, and if it makes you feel any better i still haven't voice trained after a good few years lol. none of it should be seen as essential for your identity to be validated by others, and by yourself (which sounds like the part that might be closer to the issue). you are allowed!

I just saw I saw the TV glow and fully expected to hate it, but it was actually beautiful. Also mildly painful to watch, but there is a sad, haunting wonder both in its visuals and its themes.

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I liked it but didn't identify as much the way a lot of other people did. I wrote about it earlier but for example

spoilerI transed my gender in our real life midnight realm and I didn't waffle particularly long in questioning (questioning was maybe a couple weeks for me). So it didn't hit me as hard in that aspect.

I did think it was a cute and touching movie though! I just didn't identify as strongly with it.

My body’s natural testosterone levels were super low prior to starting HRT and yet I’m hairy even by male standards. I’m mildly curious if my T was low even during puberty and if so, could I have theoretically been even more hairy?

[-] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Probably also has to do with hair genes as much as T levels.

Whipping Girl quote:

Let's face it: if cissexuals didn't have a subconscious sex, then sex reassignment would be far more common than it is. Women who wanted to succeed in the male-dominated business world would simply transition to male. Lesbians and gay men who were ashamed of their queerness would simply transition to the other sex. Gender studies grad students would transition for a few years to gather data for their theses.

nia-you-what Julia, you must know better than this, I'm sure of it. It's not like subconscious sex is the only thing standing in the way of this... the example of "succeed in the male-dominated business world" bears that out pretty clearly. They're not just unfathomable because on a profound, subconscious level, sex... This is so weird, is she going to go into Gender Accelerationist theory about gender fascism and shit or do I have to fill that part in myself?

Also some of those examples are like, step away from the fucking lathe, miss.

weird gross thing an animal did at the zooso, I went to the zoo yesterday with my wife. we were hanging out watching the giraffes, and then one of the giraffes started uh... there's no easy way to put this but started drinking the piss of another giraffe while it peed. my girlfriend, who has spent a lot of time around a lot of farm animals, says she's seen this before where sometimes males taste the piss of females to see if they're in heat.

anyways it was probably one of the most blindsidingly funny things I have ever seen and I forgive giraffes for being 56 million years removed from horses even tho they look like god damn horses

GOOD MORNING FUCKERS ✨ Replies from last mega:

@naom3@hexbear.net It would be way cooler and funnier if people just picked up your pronouns by default, but yeah I see they/them as a pretty good outcome tbh :)

@sneak100@hexbear.net Are you saying I should cowrite End Cisnormativity: Nothing Is Gendered with the megathread RIGHT NOW and publish it??? doggirl-smart

@WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today

It's weird how much the book explicitly quotes sources, but the whole book seems to push the idea of "NBs are the real oppressors" without nearly as much direct quotes

C'mon, Whipping Girl does not assert this. ...right? niko-wtf I am only ~100 pages in and c'mon, no it doesn't. Please, that can't be real. If it actually is I will unironically cancel Serano. I beg of you...
