hi so i forgot to message the person who was next (sorry HelltakerHomosexual) so i’m just gonna talk about a thing i like
Shadow the Hedgehog is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. Characterized by his sharp wit and strong sense of purpose, Shadow is a recurrent arch-rival of Sonic the Hedgehog, whom he resembles and shares many abilities. He is a major supporter of trans people, as evidenced by his catchphrase, “Trans people are cool!”
^ this is all from the wiki btw
I like Shadow a lot. His first appearance in the series is in a game where him and Sonic are both fighting the government and destroying these multi-million dollar gunships. Sonic is doing it because he loves communism but Shadow is doing it because he has a blood feud against G.U.N., who are like the global government death squads because they killed this girl, Maria, who he was best friends with.
Maria basically had an incurable illness that Eggman’s grandpa was trying to cure by creating an immortal lifeform, which is actually how Shadow was born. Also, Shadow has a copy of Maria’s soul I guess? Seriously, look it up. I’m reading all this shit for the first time right now and that sounds kinda trans to me.
Anyway, she gets shot by the troops and despite Maria telling Shadow to be normal and happy, Eggman’s grandpa is pissed off about it so he starts psyopping Shadow into wanting to kill everyone on Earth. Eggman’s grandpa successfully does the psyop and locks Shadow away until Eggman finds and releases him.
With his newfound power, Shadow starts being evil and helping Eggman find the Chaos Emeralds because he sees him piss on the moon or something. This goes on for a while until he gets back on the space station and remembers what Maria said, deciding to finally be normal and happy.
He switches up, goes Hyper Shadow and helps Sonic defeat the Biolizard which is basically what it sounds like: a giant lizard who wears the space station like a little jacket and shoots lasers from his mouth. Also, that thing was the prototype Ultimate Lifeform before they decided on the optimal form of existence: a little bipedal anthro hedgehog.
So they beat this lizard up, I guess it dies and then the space station is hurtling toward the Earth. Shadow takes a Chaos Emerald and, with the help of Sonic, does one last Chaos Control on the space station, returning it to a stable altitude. Sonic finds himself back on the space station as he flies into the atmosphere. After this, a big semi-translucent Shadow appears on top of the Earth and everyone can see it.
Why would I lie about that? Here it is.
Anyway, a bunch of shit happens after that but I don’t care about it. If someone else wants to talk about Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) feel free. What I really wrote this out to justify talking about is the moon in Sonic games. Like I said before, the moon gets pissed on and destroyed with the help of Shadow,
and then in the next game it’s just fine but evil now(???)
and after THAT it’s not evil anymore but it’s fully intact:
What the fuck? Why? How? I watched it get blown up. Who put the moon back together? Anyway, we’re getting in the weeds here. Welcome to the mega.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
What I noticed when taking it is increased libido, healthier skin and hair, and more energy. As far as breast development, it’s kinda hard to gauge for myself since I don’t have any data from a parallel universe where I didn’t take prog to compare to. Also, weirdly, prog gives me the ability to dream. Without it, I rarely have dreams, but when I take one, it’s a guaranteed dream that night. I assume that’s because I’m in a deeper sleep.
Others have said they had negative reactions or none at all, and I’ve read that it’s bad for people with a HSD (e.g. EDS, fibro, etc.) so it’s very YMMV

This is all very interesting! What’s also interesting is that it seems like it either helps with memory retention relating to dreams, or you’re actually getting more REM sleep, which actually means you’re not getting less deeper sleep (technically speaking ) . This is actually a good thing, REM is a crucial phase of sleep.
I mean, all of the other effects (minus maybe libido, but I’d have to experience it myself) seem very good. I’d totally take it for the healthier skin and hair, as well as the energy boost (also improved breast development, hopefully). Although, I now wonder if some of these things, such as having more energy (all of them really, energy applies the most) could be due to your improved sleep quality.
Again, very interesting!

I’m thinking the skin is due to the prog. There’s studies on prog’s effects on skin health and youthfulness. Hair and energy could be tied for sleep quality for sure.
