LANCER - Trans Megathread for July 7th through July 13th, 2025

LANCER is a ttrpg system originally released in November 2019, with a second edition released in July 2024.

A self-described "mix of gritty, mud-and-lasers military science fiction and mythic science fantasy," players are the titular Lancers - skilled mech pilots navigating the aftermath of a 30 year long galactic civil war. Although the resultant Union Third Committee ostensibly keeps the peace, conflict still brews as the massively powerful Corpo-States attempt to expand their territory and influence.

There's a lot more lore than that, but frankly it's unimportant because the only part of LANCER that most people care about are, of course, THE MECHS.

Lancers gain access to their mechs via manufacturer licenses (represented with License Levels, or LL), which give them access to advanced software and design files to construct Mech Frames, equipment, and systems via hyper-advanced 3D printing terminals. Manufacturers differ greatly in both aesthetics and functionality, with each specializing in a particular battlefield role.

The five manufacturers are:

So, uh, yeah, that's LANCER I guess. It's a ttrpg with very cool mechs that do fun and cool things and I recommend checking it out just for that! All of the artwork is also really amazing and I definitely encourage checking out more of it as well.

I'd love to hear about everyone's favourite mechs or robots from any media!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Saw a silly truck today that I thought some people here might enjoy too (not my own photo to not doxx myself)

Hope you all are doing okay

I have joined the injections club
- Congrats!! Happy for you
  
  Thanks! It's soooooo much easier than I thought it was going to be. I was like what do you meannnn lots of trans people stick themselves with a needle every few days?? But turns out it's the easist thing I've ever done lmao

Studying electricitylooks inside trigonometry, many such cases 😔

This image makes me laugh so much I'll just be doing something and think "Long live the Holiday administration". Like wdym Carol's strongest soldier is the weird kid who eats moss

God I love being trans so much. Life is good ya'll
- Omg saaaaaaame
- Hell yeah

Got my mom to say she'd take T if she wasn't worried about her heart problems. Can't be sure it wasn't just an excuse to be subtly transphobic, but I have suspected her issue with me changing hormones is largely because she can't understand why someone would want to be on E.
- egg mom????
  
  I've been saying it. She's said a lot of eggy things. It's why I excuse her being mildly transphobic.
  I say I got her to say it, but really the only thing I did was gain some weight since I last visited, and she commented "did you know you were gonna get fat in the spots girls do? I'd go the other way" when I got there. I told her she should switch to T and that's when the heart-problems excuse was given.
  She's not blood related, so this isn't any evidence of genetics of egginess. A lot of my understanding of gender came indirectly from her though, which explains partly why my shell was so thick...

thought this looked unique
- sparkly hexagons 😲
  
  Oh shoot you're right I was too caught up in the color vs the shapes
- woaaaagggg pwetty
  
  Ty got back on the sparkle grindset
- The colors made me immediately think of the cover art for Metrowing's Alice doujinshi EP
  
  I'm not familiar with that one but I'll take the compliment

Idk what happened, but I feel like less of a person these days. My creativity, energy, discipline, passion and even talent all feel like they are just gone.
Being with my family hasn't improved things. I think I have some sort of undiagnosed mental pathology (being too cool perhaps?). Or maybe it's cause my parents aren't letting me take my multivitamin gummies.
- They aren't letting you take it??
  
  No, because my parents consider it a sign of weakness or something. Like, they get really panicky around anything medical.
  Also I am not allowed to eat rice on Tuesdays. Yeah ...

message for the puppygirls:
- awwwrrffff!!!!!! wagwagwagwags

What's the point of insurance if doctors/surgeons won't take it? Ridiculous system
- companies make money and dont spend money treating you
  its a win win!! /j

The worst
game isn't 06 but generations and here's why ::: spoiler spoiler I don't like it

I have got to start taking better care of myself

FRIDAY

RICE

is the LANCER artwork done by the same person who does Kill Six Billion Demons?
- Looked it up, it is!

me at the start of 2024: "still cis tho still cis tho"
me today: buying loose incense at the local pagan witchy shop, getting distracted because it was supposed to be for Mars but they got a fantastic blend for Aphrodite that could easily be for Venus. My C cups are sitting in a comically femme $10 top from H&M and I'm asking the clerk to special order a book about the history of Venus. My driver's license has a girl name on it and says that I got an F at sex
wtf happened to my life? i mean, this is fucking great but also wtf life comes at you so fast sometimes
- This rocks and super happy for you comrade!
  Just curious, were you not particularly spiritual before transitioning? Sometimes I feel like there's a cool witchy person in me but the less cool annoyling pessimistic and atheist side tends to win out. also both sides feel oddly gendered for whatever reason.
  NGL I feel like I'm on a similar trajectory but still at the "still cis tho" phase, and have been for a long time now. Not really sure how to get started on trying out different elements of transitioning tbh, but I just bought a new dress that I really like so I guess I'll start there. No idea where to go after lmao
  
  Just curious, were you not particularly spiritual before transitioning?
  After a lifetime of being an athiest, hitting a real low point with alcoholism a few years ago shifted me into a "idk anything" agnostic, which is what I stayed after transitioning for a bit. After almost a year into it I hit a point to where I started rhetorically "speaking" with Venus which very slowly actually shifted into me asking her until one day I got something that felt like an answer. I just rolled with it from there on and now I got a big shrine to Venus and two smaller ones to other gods in my bedroom. Truthfully, I still can't get past the "idk shit" agnosticism. There's still that atheist voice in my head saying that none of this is real, I just ignore it and pray anyway 🤷‍♀️. Venus being real or not, I still managed to kick my drinking problem with her anyway
  As for your transition, does it feel like something is stopping you? Very trite and obvious to say but very very few cis people question how cis they are at all, let alone years. Do you have any trans/queer friends at all?
- I love that @[email protected] ’s neopagan arc is so going so strong.
  
  i have no idea what i'm doing but I praise Venus (and more) anyway
- F is the highest grade for can get, though! I got an X :/
- local pagan witchy shop
  ghhhhhhhh why cant we live anywhere with this kinda stuff
  homophobic >:c
  /silly

this horse game is such a good stim it's triggering the same kinda things shiny hunting does for me

decreased trans mega posting is a recession indicator

Got a book for HVAC techs and I like how one of the questions is: you have a office worker complaining about the temperature being all over the place do you A. lie to them B. blame the shit as engineer who made the AC system C. help them or D. Ignore them. Ngl everything but the correct answer looks so goddamn tempting lmao

Like a know it's a sign of social alienation and captialism and the rest but I fully get the temptation of AI dating, having immediate response when you're feeling things would be great. Friends are good don't get me wrong but when they got a full plate or other things having a reassuring voice is so nice. I know the key is being my own reassuring voice (believe me I talk to myself a lot) but just another voice that will say
it's gonna be alright is good. I hate being alone but until I fix myself I feel stuck like this.
- Normally I'd delete this because I feel like I'm being needy or whiney but fuck it I'll keep going. I'm staying positive and taking things in stride right now, I've worse setbacks in life and I'm still alive and as long as I keep living I'll keep moving forward. I know part of this previous post was hinting at the idea of me needing fixing or possibly a relationship helping me and idk. I'm trying not to take leave my development in other people's hands and striking a good balance of when I can ask for help.
  I've seen friends get better through the love and support their partners give them that shit looks real nice. I'd be blessed if I can find that support one day but in the mean time I gotta be my own love and support system.
  
  This is why I developed an alternative personality. I stay sane by straight up hallucinating my own company.

gotta say, "dietzgenism" sounds much lamer than marxism i'm glad marks&engels popularized materialism first
- what if there was feuerbachism lol, and we'd have struggle sessions about who is a real materialist glad that doesnt happen

My certification came in the mail the other day, can't show it but believe me when it says "NOT STINKY" 😌 the rest of y'all need to get on my level. I don't wanna call anyone out or nothing just saying

Two excerpts from a text convo with an older lesbian at work I opened up to:
Do you really think that most people really think that way? I wouldn't think that MOST people do. (said most people are transphobic and don't think we should have all the rights we should have)
What's wrong with your voice and size?? It seems like there's a lot of internal pressure for you to be a certain way.
Literally even the queers don't understand transphobia and dysphoria, actually so cooked. Same woman who refuses to help me diy. I'm still trying to see if she can be a support person etc but I'm low key very annoyed people don't understand.
- Holy fuck thinking about how transphobic cis people are actually makes me lose my fucking mind I feel so fucking awful now
- I don't see gender :)

paying a woman on youtube $500 to recreate this one moment i had 3 weeks ago in a bath and body works where the nice lady at the counter explained the sign up process for the rewards program in the form of an ASMR video
- those RL unintentional ASMRs hit so hard

trans girls r cool n pretty 👍
- truuuuuuu

meat-free bacon call that a cis lesbian

Locked in so hard last night planning for a trip and barely slept
but at least it's going to be a dope ass trip.

Video games? Sorry we only have video dames
- life is like a video dame
  trying hard to beat the stage
  all the while
  still collecting coooooiiiiiiins

sun aint even up yet and it’s 90°F 😖

I want feminine clothes... I need to move out ASAP. Don't wanna come out to transphobes, but I need to feel like myself
- Get some outfits to wear in your room when you're alone until then.
  
  Hmm, maybe, I'll get some stuff, but keeping it hidden and washing the clothes is kinda hard

I need to remind myself to check my dating apps more often. It can sometimes be a long time before I use it again. Guess this is why I don't go on dates often

CW dysphoria around imagined body hair
Had a dream the other night that I woke up and looked in the mirror only to see a patch of weirdly long hair on one cheekbone and a chest so thick with hair I couldn't see the skin underneath. First thought was "what the fuck now I have to deal with this shit too??" It was not very pleasant -:-

Had a dream I could fly, felt amazing going around so uninhibited. I know those dreams mean freedom and stuff so I get it been feeling real restricted with my schedule and the limp I still got this dream is telling that. Part of the dream did involve also draining the energy out of an ancient evil too, I was fine afterward none of those bad vibes changed me.

I feel like Ive been too hard on my old drawings in the past, they're actually really good -- I just needed to finish them. My perception was that it looked worse than it actually is. However my drive to improve my skills is evident in my confidence and quickness with which I can now produce clean lines and symmetrical shapes. I wish I had more time to draw, definitely feel unexercised because drawing for 15 min last night was quite tiring. Plus I need fresh ideas and sources to draw, so I'm going to take my sketchbook outside and draw the morning glories / plants.

The guys in class started to ask me if their girl's nails looked good and for the price they paid, honestly them gel nails with a cute design really worth it. 30 bucks I'd drop that money for them so I told them their girls got a real good price with that. Honestly feeling real cool being acknowledged for my talents

f4f but it’s futch 4 futch

well i didn't quite ask her out... (she was about to be out of town for over a week tomorrow morning, bad time)
but uh
i did manage to get out some more than platonic words to her... and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh she didn't push back, seemed kind of receptive actually

askdfnamasdfmasdfmmm.......... girls
- girls
- I hope the best for you comrade <3

- Especially since not everyone is dysphoric over that. All trans people without bottom dysphoria would just never get to change it :/
- Yay! That's such a huge sigh of relief when it's done
  
  they also removed the "previously known as [deadname]" part too, massive relief indeed

Hi transgenders what is everyone doing today? I've been spending time with my dog
- I interacted with a squirrel yesterday. Pretty sure I saw the same one in the park a few weeks ago because it's in the same spot and it's interested in people while the rest seem scared of people.
- Homemade pizza
- Been playing tmodloader doing a master difficulty rogue playthrough on Calamity + Thorium (and other mods)
  Really happy to have found some FF vanities so I can run around as Agrias. Now I just need a chocobo mount
- went out for errands in a new skirt which was very nice
- i am the victim of transphobia today (forced to sell my labor to the capitalist class for less than its value)
- Been studying my ass off for my comps on Friday
- pretending to work while watching GDQ
  
  Wish I could do that. I have been checking out what runs are going on occasionally, but I cant just watch.
- learning about 3D graphics. I actually took a class on graphics a long time ago when I was in college, but it focused more on the math parts, and only got into coding/application in the last month, so I lost interest and didn't go any further with it. the book I'm following this time is more like 80:20 with the programming:math ratio, so it's been easier for me to follow.
- Taking a break at work atm to nap at my desk, probably going to spend tonight doing laundry which should be cozy today
  
  Hell yeah, I'm also doing nothing in work rn. I managed to write about 400 words of my novel on my phone which is definitely not the ideal way but it's the only way I can at work lol

am vegan now
- Yay! That's great

gender affirming cookie monster pajama pants

I've found the ost to the sonic X series, seems mostly japanese ost so I'm having a good time. The opening sonic drive has fully grown on me whatever the english one was at this point. Honestly I need to fully sit down and watch the series in japanese, I started it before and then got distracted doesn't help that I have to go to some weird sites to see the japanese dub. Other than black knight it might be the last piece of sonic media that I'll prob dive into as much, I could be wrong but I think the anime was developed with the help of the main writer at the time Maekawa so you know it's good.

Bought a cropped black jacket the other day and it turns out I kill in goth fits and I'm kinda obsessed ngl, can't stop thinking about it. I still like my usual style more but it is a very strong look for me
- u kill in all fits cuz u just look that amazing smh

ur friendgroup being almost 100% poly and trans is rly fun cos they all end up dating each other then realizing they're not actually compatible at all and breaking up so everyone in the friendgroup has dated at some point
- This is my friend group fr, everyone has dated or has been metamors at one point except me. I don't know what to make of it and I stopped caring about it anyway.

My pain threshold remains high though I'm still walking with a limp rn, it does take a toll on me mentally through out the day and wanting to nap is so enticing but I got only a week left of training. I've maintained perfect attendance and I don't wanna give that up yet, I feel my only redeeming quality is my stick to it-ness
wish I was smart or nimble inside I just wanna give up and if it wasn't for my prep talks I give to myself and people counting on me I would have.

Every night I can dream about being someone else and then when I wake up I'm disappointed and just looking to get through the day to go back to sleep
