How’s it going?
Took Aisha to the vet for dental work back on Friday, resulting in her having four teeth extracted. Since then she hasn’t been eating much. She’s been rejecting both dry and wet food, and at most she’ll just lick some of the gravy from her wet food and ignore the rest. All she manages to eat is cat treats, which she’ll eat quickly when given. Plus she’s mostly hiding either under the bed or in the closet. A few times she’s come out and sleep on the foot of my bed as she usually does, but just a couple nights. She stayed under the bed all night last night.
On top of that Gene is hissing at her, treating her like a stranger. I’ve started keeping Gene in the bathroom during the day and when I go to sleep at night so as to give Aisha space for her to move around if she wants, as I know she’ll still go drink water and use the bathroom. Thankfully Gene hasn’t gotten too annoyed with being in the bathroom most of the day. He winds up napping underneath the sink. It’s difficult keeping two cats from one another in a small studio apartment.
I’m unsure if Aisha’s current mood is due to her being sick or has an infection, or a combination of having 4 teeth extracted at her age (9 or 10 years old estimate) while having Gene harassing her. I sent a text to my vet today but the doctor wasn’t in today so I won’t hear back until tomorrow.
All in all it’s been a stressful couple of days having that in the back of my head constantly.
On the plus side my supervisor wound up coming back into work due to her daughter having a c-section birth and being stuck in the hospital. My supervisor figured she’d just come back into work as there isn’t much for her to do there and instead saving her time off when they’re all back home and she can be of use. Because of that I haven’t been too swamped at work.
Anyway, that’s it for this week. I’ll see y’all later.
this is why we never violate the prime directive, it can be very upsetting to hear that someone thinks your trans, even if it is an accurate assumption
That’s why I said something last page, really wasn’t expecting Kevin/Doris to take it well.
yea, even if i believe someone needed to bring this to her attention, this is about the response i expected, more or less
Sensitive much? Also, he’s not exactly wrong. Kevin’s behavior hasn’t exactly changed much since he donned the bodysuit, if anything it just gives him an excuse to wear girly clothes without sticking out like a sore thumb. Me personally, I feel like I’m in the same boat. I want to do girly things, but feel like doing so without a proper disguise or secret double life would be too awkward/embarrassing.
Also I can’t remember (since it’s been like 10-12 years at this point) but does the bodysuit actually like, remove his junk when he puts it on to give him a functional (somewhat) womanhood, or is it still there just tucked away or painlessly inverted with science to give him a temporary transition?
I think at one point it was said he fully changes genders when the suit is worn since it hijacks his nerves and whatnot, but I can’t remember if it full on makes him fill out the suit completely, or if it just taps into his body like a hacker on a mainframe. (Also if he IS still fully male while wearing the suit, where does his ‘release’ go when he orgasms inside the suit? Does it just….stay there until he takes it off and cleans it like a normal bodysuit?)
I don’t need sleep, I NEED ANSWERS!
In all fairness, Owen’s assumption is kinda valid. How’s he supposed to tell the difference between someone who likes to be a girl for fun or wants to actually be one full time. Kevin blurs that line so much it may as well not exist.
My theory is that his entire male body is “elsewhere” while wearing the bodysuit using a similar tech to the trashcan the janitor put the suit into.
That just feels wrong… Because of the bag of holding squared issue…. Other than that issue it makes sense though.
Yeah, I used to tell myself stuff like Panel 2 a lot. Like, A LOT a lot.
Okay, mine was more “I’m sure everyone feels like both all the time, it’s totally normal right?”. But it was still just blatant self-denial.
and this is why the prime direggtive exists
I’ve lost track of who knows what, but the Rule of Funny suggests “Unfounded optimism and a weakness for superficial plausibility” as one possible response.
That’s fair. He’s jumping to conclusions here.
Gender-fluid here, and that sorta miscategorizing is all too familiar
yup. It’s what I’m always worrying about
To be fair, Kevin/Doris has a point. They are definitely not fully cis, but to claim that they are trans, rather than asking it is a bold and maybe even rude move.
On the other hand, maybe they needed this reality check, if only to think about the idea, whether or not they decide they’re trans or not in the end.
Critically, Owen isn’t breaking the prime directive on purpose. He saw someone acting super gender fucky, concluded they were trans, and didn’t mention it until several months later when the topic came up in passing. And the conversation is quite reasonable from his end. He answers Kevin’s question by asking whether his assumption was correct, to which Kevin does NOT give a absolute no. Instead, he goes for a classic deflection, one Owen then shoots down (the most important part of the page). Then Owen goes on to explain his reasoning, saying why he came to the conclusion he did, and towards the end of said explanation Kevin got rattled enough to stand up, snap at him, and probably storm off.
There’s no malice here. A few quick apologies for jumping to conclusions will be enough to smooth it over once Kevin cools off, and in the meantime, he’s going to be turning over the vital new piece of information that guys don’t spend their time wanting to be girls.
ooooooh, we got us a spiky egg.
