I’ve probably never felt so much peace in my entire life. 34 yo, 1,5 y on T, 1 y post top surgery, being offline à lot.

I have my nostrils done few days ago (yay! still surprised there’s no pain at all, septum was much worse). In the future I probably plan to stretch them to like 12-10g. It seems to me that it has no sense to punch with such a small stretch and I hardly imagine dead stretching (especially having experience with any O-rings absolutely not staying at place with septum).

So the question is if it’s possible to stretch gradually with just tapers? It works with bridge so far (14g now), but I don’t have any experience with cartilage piercings at all.

PS obviously I won’t do anything like stretching for at least half a year, I just prefer to prepare way in advance 😅

Long story short, made a long rest with only garlic and there’s no reaction from Astarion (yes, I know vampires don’t really react to garlic in DnD and fangy boy is also under tadpole influence, but knowing Larian’s love to Easter eggs I was hoping for something like “are you serious?”). How disappointing.

swipe for closeups)

So I just want to ask for your experience with chest hair.
I had my top surgery half a year after starting T and prior to it I had like one chest hair. But after the surgery I’ve started to get them (like 2-3 weeks after I think?), and all of it is around scars (some are growing from scars wtf). My theory is that’s because due to healing the area gets more blood flow etc so it’s more “active” than untouched part.
I’m wondering if anyone has the same experience and if you’ve started to get more chest hair away from scars with time or it just stays the only area you have it.

Appearance Edit Enhanced, Transmog and Eqsy Dye make me spend hours on just adjusting characters. If you’re the author of one of those know I hate you and love at the same time 😅
