What can I do better?

This will be deleted in a few days tops, but I'd really like some advice from other guys.

I'll take any advice but changing glasses (not in a financial position to do that rn, but maybe in the so not long future I may if it's needed).

I'll be living abroad in the UK for around 5 months and I want to go stealth.

I pass 95% of the time in my hometown, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly due to my voice being quite deep and people not being too aware of trans people here, because when I look in the mirror I still see someone that's too feminine to realistically pass.

Been on T for like 10 months and had top surgery over a year and a half ago. I'm overweight which definitely feminizes me a bit but im working on it and going to the gym semi consistently. I don't really know how to pose for pictures properly, sorry of the bad quality (last pic was taken off guard by a friend)

Help for a new player

I started playing last night and have a few pulls. On the free pull they give you I got Tinct. What are some things I should know before fully diving into the game and using my pulls?

How do the interactions between different types of characters work? I'm a Reverse 1999 player, so all I know is team archetypes and afflatus, so is there anything similar here?

Thanks for the help, I really like the art and the story seems interesting, I'm excited to really get into it.

I turn 20 in a few hours

It's past 10pm where I live, and tomorrow is my birthday. I never expected to even make it past 18, I thought some catastrophe would happen, a disease would've killed me, or I would've killed myself. Yet here I am.

A lot of friends have jokingly asked "oh how does it feel to turn 20", as most of them are older than me and already hit that age and just want to tease me for being the youngest, and I just respond with some other joke, but in reality, it feels surreal. I'm not happy nor sad, I just feel very disconnected in a way.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to live being, well, *me*, for triple the time I've already lived, and every time I look at the future, I don't see it ending any other way that isn't by my own hand. But again, I thought that was gonna be the case two years ago, yet here I am.

I have so much to live for, so many people who love me, and so many opportunities, but no matter what, I feel this abyss growing in my stomach that never seems to stop, and this overwhelming sense of guilt that crushes me more every second. I just don't know how I'm supposed to carry this for decades to come, when it's only been two and it already feels impossible. And yet, here i am.

Not sure where I'm going with this, I just needed an outlet without actually worrying any loved ones. Tomorrow will be a normal day, I'll have cake with my parents, maybe watch some shows and play Pokémon, just like any other day. And then I'll live through the rest of the coming, ordinary days, until I just can't take it anymore I guess. Or until something else takes me out, which is always a possibility.

But for now, I suppose I'll have to live at least a little longer.

Gf is misgendering me more and more often??

So I've been with my gf for almost two years now, but my official transition started only around a year ago. At the beginning of our relationship, she exclusively referred to me with male pronouns and adjectives (English isn't our first language and pretty much everything is gendered in our language), as I identified as a masc nb. She's said she always saw me as a boy, which after admitting being trans to myself, made me really happy, as it meant she saw who I really was before even I did.

As time has passed, though, she's made more and more comments referencing to herself as a lesbian, or making lesbian jokes about us, and has been calling me with feminine pronouns and adjectives more and more frequently.

Now, thing is, I'm 99% sure she's autistic, and 100% sure she has slight language issues (she's said so herself). Sometimes she refers to herself with masculine pronouns (she identifies as nb, but has never explicitly said anything about wanting to try masculine pronouns, and she tends to be pretty forward about that stuff as she did tell me to use a different name for her, which i do), to her female dog with masculine pronouns and adjectives (calling it handsome for example), generally there have been a lot of instances of stuff like that about many different people, and she's said that gender makes zero sense to her, which is valid.

My issue is that it seems to be getting more frequent for no reason? And I'm not sure how to bring it up without making her feel bad about it or her language issues, because I'm not sure if that plays a role in this. Shes been going through a rough time and I don't want to make things worse. I know this may be stupid but I also feel dumb for feeling bad about this, like I should just get over it and move on. I can't even put into words the way it makes me feel, that's also why I'm resisting bringing it up.

Any advice?? Again im sorry if this is pointless

stealth tips for a semester abroad?

ok so ive been on t for around 10 months and pass more often than not, and im going to take a semester abroad in the UK in less than two months. the problem is, I haven't changed my legal name yet, and my deadname is very unmistakably feminine. would this significantly hinder my passing amongst my peers? like do they take attendance like they do in my home country or stuff like that? also, what are just some general tips I should keep in mind?

Still feeling gross even after starting t

TW // ed, body dysphoria

So I've been on t for almost 10 months now, and got top surgery over a year and a half ago, and overall I'm extremely happy with the changes and how things are turning out. However, I've always had issues with my weight— i used to be obese when I was a young teen due to family circumstances, and i had moderately severe body image issues. a lot of it was gender dysphoria, and that has alleviated greatly, but the other part was just feeling horrible for how big I was, as i used to be mocked and critized for it (quite mildly tbh, mostly was my criticizing myself).

I also have always had a relatively unhealthy relationship with food, going into different binge-restrict cycles through long periods of time. I was at a healthy weight for a while, but after top surgery, my weight rapidly increased, partly due to lack of activity for a long period of time and partly due to letting myself go with food, but it was still manageable. Now that i've been on t for a while, my weight has skyrocketed, and I'm closer to my highest weight than I am to my lowest (which was on the healthy range), and I know some of it is muscle, but it's so obvious that most of it is fat and it's getting me to a really dark place again. I simply lack the skill to control myself, so increased appetite + various life situations have made me binge and eat horribly, and I just don't know how to even handle myself anymore. it's probably ridiculous, I know, but I can't help that feeling of "well im at this state already, nothing matters now" and just keep sinking deeper and deeper. and I know the solution is "eat better and work out more", but I struggle so much to do basic things, adding more to that routine feels absurdly difficult.

I feel guilty for still feeling such disgust at my body, even when I'm getting a lot of desired masculinizing effects that I'm genuinely happy with, but this one thing is bringing everything down and it's extremely frustrating.

not really looking for advice, just hoping to be somewhat heard and understood, or at least to scream into the void. this is probably written terribly but im so distraught and trying very hard not to let things get completely out of control. sorry for the long ramble, I have no one to talk to about this.
