  • Wow, you really put great effort into rendering the details on the girl’s jean. You also put a non negligible effort in painting a person in the mirror with the same colthes as the girl but surprisingly little time making sure they had the same haircut or that this made sense with the position and orientation of the mirror. Which could be that there’s a third person in the room who just happens to be dressed like her, but for this to make sense without them being seen in the image the best must be behind them in the mirror and that’s not what we see in the reflection.

    You are truly scum for claiming this by your drawing. Effort was put into this color and rendering, but not by you. By artists whose work was scraped and spat out at your prompting by a large model at the cost of large amounts of energy and water in a polluting data center. All this for a seen before joke that would’ve worked just as well with a stock photo or hastily drawn stick figures.








  • Well, there’s certainly a double entendre in chosing it as the name of a satellite, but it definitely comes from the name of tgat comic book character. Which itself is a play on asterisque (this symbol: *), which, of course, comes in turn from aster as you said.

    His compagnon Obélix has a name which works on two levels: It can be seen as a play on obelisk (he is himself a sculptor of menhirs, which are vaguely similar to obelisks), but “obèle” is also the French word for the dagger symbol (†), which is an alternative to the asterisk.


  • You probably can unleash your special interest again without denying yourself.

    I’m not trans (I think), but I do hyperfixate (probably on the spectrum, a shrink even said so but he wasn’t abilitated to do an official diagnosis), and I feel like one of the good things about hyperfixations is how they’re things outside of yourself, and how you feel about them isn’t too affected by how you feel about yourself or your immediate surrounding. I feel if I became a girl, my interest for my hyperfixations, including past ones would be one of the most consistent things about me, I wouldn’t feel the need to change or deny them even as I’d change everything else.

    Sorry if my experience isn’t relevant tho, I may not understand every trans issue.
