Unless I have the budget and space to build a full on suit, highly unlikely. For my human characters, it's a if-y. I could try crossdressing for my female characters though. 🤔

She also carries a sword hidden under her clothes which she only uses it for self defense purposes.

Transitional journey: She used to be a boy prior to her transition and used to be the opposite of who she is know, Being rude, reclusive, and self loathing.

New Character Revealed!!! 🐇🌙 Read Alt text from 1st image for more info about her. Might change it later if I find a more suitable palette for her. 😓 P.S. Happy Mid Autumn/ Luna Festival!🙏🌙 #characterdesign #digitalart #originalcharacter #characterart #robocitylilandia #midautumnfestival
Legendary-robo: No.5 Lunagi

Species code: Striped rabbit
Gender: Female

Height: 5'08"
Weight: 86 kg

" Bio: The 5th member of the 9 Lifephire guardians.
Lunagi is built to protect one of the 8 Keystone Lifephires (The Luna Lifephire), guard this powerful source of energy from anyone who plans to steal it.
She's also the first robot to be sent to space, residing on the moon itself, protecting Lilandia and the Luna temple (the place where the Moon Lifephire is kept) from afar.
She only returns to earth on rare and special occasions, however she's socially awkward around people she's not familiar with, only interacting with people she's comfortable with.

(Don't worry she doesn't get bored on the moon, as she spends most of her time meditating and enjoying the sweet treats that the humans sent to her as offerings. Conserving her energy until she needs to use it.)

Abilities: Being one of the 9 Lifephire guardians, she's one of the most powerful robots in Lilandia, possessing great speed and greater endurance.
She's at her most powerful under moonlight, capable of absorbing light energy from the moon and unleash powerful bursts of energy at her opponents, even on the moon she can hit her target from afar with almost perfect accuracy.

She also possesses a weapon known as the "Moon Grace" a mystical floating pibo (披帛) scarf powered by a Moon Lifephire shard, she uses the scarf's flexibility to her advantage, deflecting attacks to entangling her opponents during combat."

Fun fact: She's heavily based on the many Legends of the rabbit on the moon and the moon princess, from both Chinese and Japanese mythology.
Which is why her favourite food is moon cakes and rice cakes.

i'm sorry
I'm sorry you had to see me at my worst

Today I woke up at 4 am throwing up because I was feeling an anxiety I haven't felt since 2023. I was panicking, I was losing my mind, and eventually everything I've been holding inside for years just completely broke me.

Recently, I finally opened myself up to having friends again, and the support started making me realize some really uncomfortable things about the way I've been living my life.

That maybe I'm not a horrible person,

That I've been living in a cycle of being hurt and abused all my life, and I just didn't want to see it, because I don't want to see the bad in people

And realizing that completely shattered the reality I've been living in for years.

I don't know how to explain what it feels like to suddenly not trust your own reality anymore. To look back at your own life and feel like you're remembering somebody else's memories, and to desperately want to crawl back into the version of everything that made sense, while deep down i just want to scream, run away, and do crazy horrible things,
but never see the reason why im hurting .

I can't handle a world where I'm not at fault for everything. I will delude myself in every way possible just to protect this idea that I'm the only person who can do wrong
because somehow, blaming myself feels safer than accepting that people I loved could hurt me.
I know how much mental pain can destroy someone, and I'd genuinely rather have everyone hate me than allow myself to have a single horrible thought about somebody else

Every single day I change my mask depending on who im talking to. I tell everyone what they need to hear. I convinced people I was okay, and eventually I got so good at it that I could convince basically anyone, its scary, im scared of myself

But the truth is,I still deal with my eating disorder, to the point that I've lost almost all sense of hunger and starve myself
I'm the most underweight I've ever been

I got into hard drugs hoping they would kill me

I lost basically all my money because "well, I'm not going to be alive to face the consequences!"

And through all of this, I was lying to my doctors. I lied my way through psych tests and appointments so convincingly that my antipsychotics, mood stabilizers and antidepressants were reduced 80%
and the worst part is that,
everyone was happy for me.

Today, that finally collapsed

I couldn't live in a world where I have bad thoughts about others

I couldn't handle everything I thought I understood suddenly feeling unreal

that thought terrifies me, to the point I wanted to hurt myself until it killed me, and some of you had to witness that. I'm so sorry that you did

After I passed out and came to the worst feeling in the world, I treated my wounds, and later I finally ate my first decent meal after barely eating for so long.

I'm still here.

I don't really know what happens from here yet. I just know I can't keep pretending

Right now, more than anything, I just feel embarrassed. Im sorry

If I disappear for a little while after this, please don't worry. I'm safe.

thank you for still being here
