New Sona, Some More Updates
6 years ago
It's been a bit since I updated this thingamajig, eh?
Okay so I've finally decided on my third sona: a nonbinary punk rock skunk named Nitro! Since I use the three basic pronouns, I figured I should have a sona for each set that would also reflect different aspects of my personality (and have a theme of each of my three favorite colors!). Pyro is the sort of chill, confident side of myself (purple theme), Nox is the gay disaster/ball of anxiety but tries to be a good friend anyway (blue theme), and Nitro is...well, Nitro is pretty much my anger (green theme). I used to have a lot of issues controlling that side of myself as a teenager (didn't know who I was or what I was supposed to do with my life...it was a bad time for everyone involved) but I've since worked out how to channel it into more creative expressions rather than angsty outbursts (those are still kicking around every once in a while if I've had a particularly bad day ^^;)
I've gotten a bit more work done on my Pyro head (I swear she will be done by Tiny Paws!) but it's slow going because I'm taking 14 credits this semester (gonna graduate this time dammit!) and working two jobs @___@. I'm also planning on moving within the year (ideally it will be before December so I'll be settled in before MFF)
WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY? MFF?
That's right! If all goes as planned this year, I'll be making the trek out to Midwest FurFest 2019! I'm scared to death of planes (I'll only fly if I absolutely have no other choice/other options take an absurdly long time) so I'm gathering a road trip crew to get my little New Jersey butt all the way out to Illinois (though if moving is happening before MFF, I'll be a little Pennsylvania butt~. Still spiritually NJ though. Can take the asshole outta Jersey but can't take the Jersey outta the asshole). I've been wanting to go to MFF since I first joined the fandom (waaaaaaaaaaay back when I was like 18? 19? and the first group/con experience I had was horrific and like...actually traumatizing so I kinda ghosted the outskirts of the fandom until like...last year). But this time I've made some really good friends in the fandom and I've got some interested in making the land voyage with me so we'll just have to see how it goes!
Uhhhh what else oh yeah I finally made the decision to medically transition once I get on some real insurance and can get a good trans friendly doctor because dysphoria has been kicking my ass the past few years and really cranking up the depression knob. I am still identifying as genderfluid because there are still parts of me I feel as neutral and female, but I'm realizing male has really always been my default. I've been slowly socially transitioning for years now and going by Matt/being referred to by he/him pronouns just feels too good to ignore. You can still refer to me by any of the basic pronouns (unless I'm in suit and then it needs to be whatever that sona uses) and if you know my birth name you're still allowed to use that in person (I'll never call it my deadname because I still like it and it feels like a part of me, even if it's small). If you have any transition related questions or advice I'd be happy to talk privately with you about it.
Anywho this journal is getting way too long and I'm super tired and need to be up in...4.5 hours. Bleh.

(Acceptable kinds of questions: what areas do you experience dysphoria in so I know what to be more sensitive about in interacting with you? what kind of T are you looking into starting? do you plan on legally changing your name? are you closeted to anyone so I don't accidentally out you to them?
Unacceptable kinds of questions: are you going to get a penis? how will sex work with your boyfriend? are you sure you're not just a butch straight girl? what if you change your mind after you transition?)Anywho this journal is getting way too long and I'm super tired and need to be up in...4.5 hours.

You are really going to enjoy MFF!! All the surrounding hotels are connected by a sky bridge; and it feels like every fur that you can possibly think of attends! It’s really overwhelming , and it’s so beautiful with all of the holiday decorations everywhere

OP
I'm so freaking excited for it like 2019 is the year of getting places I've wanted to go for 10 years (besides Ireland, but we'll get there eventually :3)
