Wow, that's cool!
Me too! Unfortunately, I spent 7 years of my life deprived of the special support that would've helped me progress better through middle and high school, due to my dad & stepmom refusing to believe their child was autistic, though they used harsher terminology. They were like "you're in normal classes and you will act normal or suffer the consequences." Those consequences were being the school laughingstock, which my parents held absolutely no sympathy for.
Having a guy as an avatar doesn't make you a guy. Look at me now lmaoMe too! Unfortunately, I spent 7 years of my life deprived of the special support that would've helped me progress better through middle and high school, due to my dad & stepmom refusing to believe their child was autistic, though they used harsher terminology. They were like "you're in normal classes and you will act normal or suffer the consequences." Those consequences were being the school laughingstock, which my parents held absolutely no sympathy for.
However, since moving out, I was put back into the systems that support those with disabilities, and recently came out as trans (MtF) after 25 years of being conditioned to repress any feminine qualities by a conservative upbringing. These last few years had their ups and downs, and indeed, the most recent "down" was again being socially alienated and dropping college due to the stress. But, making lemonade out of lemons, I took that opportunity to rethink my life and realize that I was only living as a male because I was raised with those expectations. Expressing my true gender at last, i felt like I was finally removing a mask that was put on me at birth. Of course, I'm still a die-hard for my favorite Mario baddies that happen to be male, Fawful, Dimentio and Count Bleck... but now I'm a fangirl instead of a fanboy
Speaking of which, there is still internal confusion over the Fawfulthegreat64 name & mascot for me now, since I feel having a male avatar is... well, I feel a bit weird keeping a male mascot when I no longer identify myself that way. But I love his design and feel I had finally perfected it, after going through several edgy recolors & awkward Marios with Fawful's head. Each attempt so far at feminizing it has felt like it ruins the design so I may just have to design a new character. But I don't want to trash my purple-tux Fawful. I've sunk money into commissions of this character including an airbrushed shirt, a few artworks, and even models (the one from BLOF was a gift, but even still it feels wrong to retire that design after all the stuff that's been made)
I'm that one weirdo that still listens to children's music, has a fondness for anything that triggers nostalgic memories, and in fact doesn't hold a deep-rooted disdain and loathing for Bernard the Large Violet Yoshi.
I broke this forum's traffic record in 2015 with a fake leak of a PM:TTYD 3DS port. Namely, I confessed to being the creator of the leak, and GameXplain linked to that post so a lot of traffic poured in.
...oh my, there's a few blocks of text lmao
