Anyone know of any trans Mulan-esque stories?

I thought I had found a series that I liked that fit this sort of mold where the main character for whatever reason masquerades as the gender they are meant to be and finds themselves along the way. However that series is written using AI and the author is proud of their AI usage and I just cannot abide by that. I have heard some good things about Unmasked by the Marquess by Cat Sebastian but I want to see if there is anything else out there as well.

Edit to add: I also greatly enjoyed the Song of the Lioness series by Tamora Pierce growing up and i think they had something to do with my gender identity so I am totally down for YA reccs as well.

Trying to find games for me and my partner to play

Hi y'all, I'm looking for some couch co-op games to play on PC for me and my partner. He's a big gamer and I used to be, but I haven't really played much the last few years for various reasons. We used to play Destiny 2 together on Xbox but we both stopped playing that like 3 years ago and its just not feasible now as we only have the one desktop. We've played It Takes Two, a Way Out and Split Fiction and now we need something else to play. Any recs welcomed please.

Need to find new headphones/earbuds

Hi y'all, I have been using Galaxy Pro buds 2 for a few years and they are wearing down now finally. I need to find new headphones or ear buds that are more budget friendly but don't sacrifice in quality. I NEED active noise canceling and I would like good sound quality as I listen to a lot of music, namely metal, deathcore, swancore, a lot of stuff with musical nuance. I also listen to a lot of audiobooks. I have a smaller head and also smaller ear canals so finding buds that fit has always been a struggle and over ear headphones a lot of times jostle around. I have no preference for one of the other as I really just want something that sounds good. Please help.

My partner is making me read The Primal Hunter series in exchange for him reading DCC.

Ok so I am about 10 chapters into the audio and I am so dang bored. It doesn't seem like there is any soul to any of the characters and Jake feels like a Mary Sue without a care for anyone else, can anyone else thats read both tell me if this gets better at all? Does the writing, world building, characters or anything improve? Please help. 🙏

How do you get a guardian?

Hi y'all I've been using Finch for a little over a year now and a friend of mine had paid for a year sub for me a while back. I guess it ran out today and I didn't realize how much of the app is reliant on premium or whatever its called. I used the thunderstorm sounds a lot for meditation and I have anxiety and anger issues that I use the breathing exercises for which apparently there are only like 3 of those available in the free version. I can't work so money is kind of hard to come by for me so I really took having the premium version for granted. I see people on here all the time talking about how they got a guardian or a lifetime sponsorship and i was curious if there is like some sort of form I have to fill out to be considered for that or what. I really like the progress I've gained since using this app and I don't want to lose it.

Hi y'all I have been in the alternative scene basically my whole life and played around with corsets but never got into the real deal. Well I have been out as nonbinary for a few years now and while I do still lean pretty femme most days, I like an overall androgynous look. I wanted to try and get into corset vests that have a more masculine look to them, however I don't know how all of that would work seeing as I do still have breasts and I am unsure of the safety, and overall appearance those would have on me. I looked and there didn't seem to be any information on this that I could find, maybe I just didn't use the right keywords, but I was hoping you all could help me find something that would accommodate me.
