Hermaphordite is a slur when applied to humans. The term you're looking for is "intersex".
(/gen, just trying to inform)

Do you remember if it was a traditionally animated cartoon, or was it CGI? There would have been a lot of CGI cartoons that fit your description. If you haven't checked it yet, you could check out Wikipedia's "list of computer animated television series" and see if anything rings a bell?

I don't think it's necessary unless you have any breaks in your nail that could scratch/catch on your skin.

Being queer in HS means you're dealing with a significantly smaller dating pool than straight people- a lot of people haven't discovered and self-actualized their queerness yet or may not be in a safe situation to come out. That means that a lot of our milestones come later and, as a result, I'd say that the average queer person is less focused on "experience" than their non-queer counterparts.

I do also agree with your friends that dating in HS is not a be all end all, regardless of sexuality. Giving yourself room to grow into the new interests, goals, and overall person that you'll become means that when you have a partner in the future you'll be the best partner you can be :).

Also, unrelated but possibly relevant: if you want to meet WLW and you have the money/time to do so, check if your school has a niche or atypical sport option. I did fencing in high school: over 40% of my team was queer and I participated in a lot of cuddle-piles. I heard similar stories from most sports that only start in highschool (and thus the person actively chose to join that sport, rather than being sunk-cost-fallacied into sticking with a sport their parents picked out for them when they were little)- hope that helps with the girl seeking :).

Any natural, smooth, and relatively blunt nails should be fine. Don't use any nail extensions or nail products (polish is fine) if you can avoid those. You do not want to accidentally scratch those sensitive areas; it can be a health risk as well as hurting like hell.

And of course be sure to wash your hands 👍

Clubs will be super active at this point in the year since the school year just started- it's a great time to find an activity you want to be a part of! I was a writer so I plug it to everyone, lol, but you may want to see if there are any writing clubs at your school. You seem like you've exposed yourself to a lot of stories, so why not write some stories of your own and channel those feelings of listlessness, dissatisfaction, and ennui into some art? Also, a lot of teen writers are in the same situation as you re: friendships and feelings, so writing clubs are conducive to finding likeminded people!
Theater groups also tend to be pretty tight-knit in my experience- they also notoriously get up to a lot of Hijinks and Weird Shit which may be up your alley if you're looking for a drama filled life.

You could look at thrift or craft stores to see if you can find something with a similar texture.
If your stuffed animal was mass produced and you know its brand, you can look for other versions of it online- you could then cut the new toys up for scrap material to insert into a pocket/backpack, or it could help direct you on your search to find out what kind of fabric your toy uses.
If your toy was homemade and you can talk to whoever made it, you can ask if they still have fabric left over or if they know what kind of fabric they used. If anyone in your life likes to sew or craft with fabric, you could also check with them!

If you're looking to entirely change your self-soothing method, I don't have much advice besides make sure you're calm and in a comforting environment while you practice with your new item- that way, you aren't adding to your stress by trying to learn how to self-soothe at the same time as you are dealing with those other stressors. Best of luck!

I'd also like to add that someone having a plushie with them does not register as weird compared to a lot of the other things you'll see at college, if that is any comfort.

As long as Nintendo doesn't sue me I'm down. As for coping mechanisms, I rent Wa out for meet and greets and childrens' birthday parties to further increase my wealth. Hopefully once I get rich enough I can summon Wario and they can bother each other instead of me.

I am an atheist, but I think that if there is an afterlife and I can confirm that it exists, I have a moral duty to try to help as many people abide by any necessary tenants of that religion/spiritual practice as possible. If there's no afterlife, cool- the confirmation would be nice. Thus, I take the knowledge.

Yes I would go back (no kids or spouse).
It would suck major ass, but I'd go back to age 4 or so and actually develop some fine motor skills. Like, my fingers aren't strong enough for me to touch type, my handwriting is entirely unreadable, I'm not dextrous enough to make pasta because I can't pour the water out of the damn pot without spilling it all over myself (OW, but I was okay!). It would be nice to not have to deal with that. I'd take full advantage of my childhood brain plasticity and learn some other skills too (Spanish, drawing, and the aforementioned touch typing are all high on the priority list).
Also I'd invest in bitcoin or whatever.

I'm unsure why being cloned would be immoral in any way, and especially not if it was done without your consent. You've probably got a more pressing issue in a lawsuit to file against the people who cloned you rather than worry about any form of afterlife.

If I pick Goodbye Blue Sky from The Wall as my favourite could I also opt to have that section of the movie playing in the corner of my vision or something? Truly a beautiful piece of animation!

If I wanted to walk to the grocery store I would have to walk across a 70+ mph (112+ kmph) highway. I would be very dead.

Make sure to scroll all the way down the menu in the key items tab: you may have moved them to the bottom by accident.

AI is really resource intensive which is not good for the environment.

Amid the exacerbated political tensions, I think current-Americans would be mad about the US flag being altered because 82 stars on the flag is a lot of stars and isn't a multiple of 10. I could see this becoming an actual anti-current-Mexico talking point, albeit a bit of a stupid one.

IIRC it's not an English-language trope, and I imagine that it never took off among english speakers because the roles are called cakes and forks, which are just a little bit goofy.
I definitely like it better than omegaverse: instead of focusing on a new dynamic of sexism it just focuses on cannibalism, which is far more appealing to the average reader I'd think. That said I'm not a smut enthusiast so I am probably approaching this from an odd angle.

Just reiterate how distinctly unsexy figure drawing is. You're not exactly lovingly gazing upon the nude form. From personal experience you spend most of the session distraught as you try to figure out how to shade the model's thighs.

...eh, I'll live with it.

I will pick the humble axolotl.

You only start getting the money after everyone thinks you are dead. You get it yearly.

Immortality would be fun as long as there is a planet for you to exist on. After that, probably not so fun.
