D --> Guess it is time for an introduction post since eyes have been drawn to me. Hello. There are already a handful of me myself and I on this platform, but for those unfamiliar, I am Equius Zahhak. I am a fitness junkie, an engineering fanatic, and hoofbeast appreciator (though less these days, but you could say that I'm still a horse girl.). Besides Maryam, who has left to embrace human culture, only Nepeta and I remain of our iteration. You can blame Makara for the majority of that, but I can hold no ill will for the decisions made when we were all so young and troubled. I still regret what I had to do, and not because it cost me an arm and a leg. About five sweeps ago, I had come to terms with my identity. No amount of gains or immaculate sculpting of my body through building muscle made me happy, until one of the humans suggested introspection and consideration on what would make me happy. I guess I was overcompensating in the masculine ideal in hopes that it would make me happy. But then I tried a dress, and it all clicked. So I had started and to this day continue to take feminizing hormones. I'm. Happier now. It's not perfect, and I still have a long way to go, to grow emotionally and of course, physically. But I'm on the mend, I think. So please, she/her pronouns. I may still make problematic mistakes, but I am trying to unlearn these behaviors. I apologize in advanced if I ever do slip and will when it happens, if it happens.
When you say Maryam "left" what do you mean?
D --> We crossed another meteor from another time on it while passing through a bubble. They too suffered losses, different than ours, but the humans had joined them. She decided to hop meteors. To this day I wonder if we should have joined.
D --> I believe they lost their Kanaya, and one of the humans begged her to stay. I hope that she is happy.
D --> Haha. You can interpret it how you wish. One could say I am seeing the appeal.
