Newly hatched lesbian trans woman still figuring everything out. Monogamously married.
Mostly, I post about games, hobbies, and comics. And I guess now probably a lot of trans stuff.

Hey! So, some keen-eyes observers who have been following me a while may have noticed a few differences in my profile. And my name.
First thing's first... I'm not quite ready to come out publicly yet, so if you know me in real life, I'd appreciate you sticking with "Shane" and he/they for now.

Update! I am now out publicly. If you know me in real life, you probably already know this, but there is no longer any need to use my old name/pronouns. The rest of this thread is still fairly relevant from a "how did I get here" perspective, so I'm keeping it up.

You know. I voice a lot of yaoi. But...I'm a silly little lesbian.
Wouldn't it be cool if I like recorded an audiobook....with yuri in it?
Wouldn't that be crazy?

This is so real. Recently I started actually mentally perceiving myself. Thinking of how I look when doing mundane tasks. Picturing my face, my expression, my stance.
By comparison, I used to just feel like I was in an FPS. I was perceiving the world, but not really perceiving my place in it.

“I never had dysphoria I just didn’t give a fuck about my appearance and only put in the bare minimum for care of it”

We made it really far today! Armor sets are almost fully upgraded (just need a bear trophy for Mimi) and we have a working portal system. Also, we have a giant pit that Mimi mined all the copper out of for luring bears into. 😅

The instant Isadore pulls the knife out of her mother’s heart, she vanishes.
Isadore’s mother, Genevieve, collapses into the empty space her daughter occupied a moment earlier. Blood pools around her chest as her fingers twitch.
Once. Twice. Thrice.
Then she draws still and we all vanish too.

Valheim 1.0 weekend! My wife made us a whole bunch of tasty food so we can pay all weekend without stopping for food prep. We started a new save file last night and made a little progress.

Also, can you believe how pretty I am now? I'm not even wearing any makeup on this photo and... just look at me. That's just my face now! And it hasn't even been a full year yet!
Guess what came in the mail today!
Thank you so much @emoria.bsky.social. 💜 Looking forward to finally reading the print version of my favorite transgender novel.

!["[Aftertaste is] right up there with I Saw the TV Glow and Nimona."
- Pippa Primini on Goodreads, 5 Star Review
"An incredibly important piece of trans literature, one that I hope is seen by everyone..."
- Ashlynn Vanner on Goodreads, 5 Star Review
"Compelling characters, outstanding story, the occasional eerie feeling that the author had somehow managed to peer into my own past before setting word to virtual paper."
- Jaz Sakuranoseirei on Storygraph, 5 Star Review
"Not only did I end up enjoying it, it is now my absolute favorite piece of transgender fiction I've ever read."
- Shawndra Quinn on Goodreads, 5 Star Review
"I knew I was in for a treat, but I was woefully unprepared for how much Emoria sees and 'gets it' about the nature of being a trans woman and fighting the demon of our dysphoria."
- Brooke on Storygraph, 5 Star Review
"I've sought out and been recommended a lot of different portrayals of the trans experience - and while all of them contained nuggets that struck a chord with me, none of them have made me feel as seen as Aftertaste did."

It's funny how I never lived in any of the marked cities, but I grew up north of there and spent most of my adult life south of there, so my dialect seems to be somewhere in the middle.

Oh, and I wrote a book!
It's a trans horror-romance called Aftertaste, and let me tell you, it's probably a good idea to buy six copies of it right now.
I mean, I did, and now I have a copy for every room!!!

Aftertaste is a toxic yuri, but the lesbian relationships in it aren't the toxic core.
The book isn't about surviving a partner, it's about surviving yourself.
And you can survive yourself. You will.
