[TanisNikana]

I’ve got a steady group of assorted musicians around here, guitarists, vocalists, drummers— heck, I even have a hurdy gurdy player out here! Whoever I can get to help me record what I put together gets a cut of the profits and credits, and I’ve got a fair bit out there. I’ve even put a couple tracks together for Ambidex Panic!

def, how long have you been in this music ensemble?

Started out with it around the start of this year. For some reason it only took two months before they gave me a leadership position lol

kdowns, what's the hardest part about faceblindness?

When ever my friends do something drastic with their body or style, like for an example of my best friend we’re to get a hair cut and dye her hair, I wouldn’t know who she was by just looking at her. I’d have to hear her voice to recognize her.

Auditioning for different porn

My best friend/roommate in college was a theatre major, and being a video person sometimes I needed actors, so I had connections through her. Also being an extremely amateur, sometimes people I'd had work for me would ask me to do something for them, you know, we're all broke college kids tryna get by. Anyway I was young and attractive at the time, and being freshly Not Straight I made...interesting friends and was making...questionable decisions, and one of them was like "hey I'm working on this project, come read for this thing at like 9 at night," which was not that odd, but anyway then it became odd when I was asked to start taking off more than my shirt.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

tatsuya, why did you write down something about your thumb instead of an actual talent?

Should I answer shower singing? I literally have not enough confidence and idea to go with my other hidden talents (Yes, hidden means I don't even know)

[Cephrir]

Def is free as a bird now

I might as well take the 50/50

[TanisNikana]

Alright, so this was a bit traumatizing for me in the end because I’m the maximum amount of asexual. I mean like every inch of anything even slightly sexual grosses me out. The last time I even made out with anyone was on November 27, 2016, the day of my wedding, with everyone watching, Haschel officiating. He can even back me up. So I went for a closed mouth kiss, my just pronounced wife had hers open, and I was thinking, “oh yeah, most important kiss of my life, should make it count.” So I stomached that makeout and got through it.

So imagine the sheer fucking shock I had about two and a half years ago. I was just fired from Salesforce, March 2016. Hadn’t gotten married yet, but was still just as sex-repulsed. My boss had made up phony reports and altered my performance reviews so he could fire me for being trans (and with the state of the law the way it has been for the last three days, wouldn’t even need to do that much— saying “this motherfucker is a fuckin’ tr—ny” and have me fired for cause, which means no unemployment.)

Fortunately I did get unemployment, thank god, but it wasn’t enough. A friend of mine named Ianna said she did some shoots with a film studio that treated her well, said I should apply as they’d surely take me; she said I was cute enough. Gave me a reference link that said they were looking for transgender actresses like yours truly. The interesting thing about the form though, despite the usual headshots and other details, was that they wanted to know how long I was on HRT for. Anyway, I filled it out, pleased I might get to be in some cool progressive kind of trans flick.

Nope, when I got the email back about a week later they said what they wanted from me was an anal receiving scene, an anal giving scene, and a 69 scene for $900 all. (Bonus fact: I’m a mutilated-at-birth intersex woman, and don’t even have working genitals, and to this day am a virgin. I’ve never had sex cause I can’t have sex. No Nut November is just another passing blip in my Can’t Nut Life.)

Long story short, the studio was Grooby, as in Grooby Girls, and I wrote them a note saying that I didn’t even know, and they said that I was wasting their time, and they blacklisted me. As if I could ever perform for them, right?

Sorry for too much detail.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

D3f free bird is correct!

[D3f3nd3r]

D3f free bird is correct!

Yeah the timeline makes sense, I started out right around the start of spring semester and got my first show leadership position in March. Free Bird was fucking

wonderful

by the way.

Kdowns and tanis, when you accidentally auditioned for porn, what did you think you were doing there?

A few months ago I started getting into Film, and I started out with doing student films around my campus. And then one day I was contacted by one of the directors that I had worked for telling me that a known director was interested in using me for a bigger film. I was stupid and didn’t do my research on the director before hand and showed up to the audition which started out with me cold reading the script with the director. At first I was thrown off because there were no stage directions on the script. We finished reading it and next thing I know he asks me to take off my shirt, which I didhestitany but I wanted to finally get paid for my acting. Then he asks me to take my pants off and at that point I walked out after he told me this was a porn audition.

You can’t just guess “mostly true either way!” Man if this was Hollywood Squares, you’d be getting lectured by Whoopi Goldberg.

[Cephrir]

DN poker show

Like I damn well thought from the start.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Correct, now 1 guess left.
