[@QueerAsCat]

thanks!

[@alien-dz2gm]

Vesper!!!! Yes!!! You look absolutely stellar!!!

[@oeleos6730]

I cut my hair short three years ago and it basically changed my life, I get how important it can be, how strange and freeing it is at the same time. Also, you look good ! I like your piercings :)

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks! it really has been life changing in more ways that i'd ever anticipated. being able to show off my piercings more is also a huge plus. ;)

[@azaiiam8996]

I don't think I've ever seen you smile so much in a video! You look great, I'm so happy for you.

[@QueerAsCat]

thank you. :)

[@turmalokadosguaxininsretar9926]

The happiest video, I'm so glad for you ♥ Idk if is the vibe you're giving, but you look more like you definitely

[@sandtime23]

Congrats Vesper!! You look great! I'm so glad to see you happy with your haircut and feeling more connected with your appearance.

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks! :)

[@Littleredrosecross]

Your hair looks great, I'm glad you love it, you look really happy! Congrats!

[@maiynnai]

Wow!! You look fantastic Vesper, the new hair and glasses suit you so well. Really happy for you and can't wait to see the journey going forward. The experiences you're having with gendering are so interesting, I just can't imagine how strange that must be! Congrats on the job, best wishes. ❤🌈

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks for watching and for the kind comments. i really appreciate it. :)

[@sunmarsh]

My first thoughts on the glasses were ‘meh’ but seeing them in the light at the end with the new hair. 👌🏼 You got that look on lock. So happy for you! Congrats on the new job. Wishing you all the best as you start this new chapter in your life. xoxoxo

[@QueerAsCat]

aww, thanks. :) even i myself fall in and out of love with the glasses, i think. appreciate the commentary! best wishes to you as well.

[@loveisvulnerability]

I recognize you! But yes, it's a big difference. Enjoy the weightless feeling! I once cut my hair from almost elbow length and swore I'd never go back just for the convience. But yours looked good both ways! I haven't watched your videos in a while so am glad i caught this one. You look happy. All the best to you!

[@rare2find0918]

I love the cut!

[@pipsplace9072]

Congrats!! You look great! I'm really glad this was a good experience and you look so happy and almost empowered(dont want to assume how you're feeling) with this new freedom of reinventing your image. Congrats on the job too!!

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks. :) that's a good choice of words, actually. cutting my hair has been surprisingly empowering, i think.

[@tabiandro]

Awesome! Your hair is so versatile. I love the new hair and glasses combo. They work very well together.

[@QueerAsCat]

thx!

[@JayTee67]

love the new look. Glad you have no regrets.

[@karminyates3261]

I have a shaved head. It's awesome and def feels good. I didn't notice how much hair you have! Great video and congrats 🖤

[@marshalljohnblount1993]

The late 1970's tv show intro music is spot on! 💜♠💜 and i love this video!!

[@QueerAsCat]

lol @ your description of the music you ain't wrong. ;) thank you!

[@ohtricaerontops4781]

I'm super happy for you Vesper! I like the new glasses. I don't know if it's the video style change (which was really well done and I enjoyed it a lot!) or what but I feel like you radiate more confidence and self assurance in this video. You seem more at ease in your body. The air on scalp thing is super weird when you first cut your hair short.

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks. :) pain in the ass though it may have been, it was good for me to experiment with something new in this video. i really appreciate your feedback and support.

[@AlmaxSagojyo]

You look great! It took me a while to adjust my self image in my mind after I cut off my hair too. It's cool to see other nonbinary QPOC! I love your work, please keep it up :D

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks a lot. :)

[@PC012]

You look sooo good?? Love the way your face looks now that it's not framed by the locks, plus the hairstyle and new glasses, it's a super nice look~ As an enby who also cut their hair from long to short a few years back, I so know what you mean with the habits and the relief. I'm also glad people aren't gendering or misgendering you as often!! I hope to get there one day but I'm super happy for you :0

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks for the kind comments and for sharing your experiences. :) i wont hold my breath hoping that people continue to misgender me less, but i'm hopeful that one day we'll all get closer to being there.

[@mikk5540]

Your face says it all! Makes me happy to see how good you feel. 😊 I relate yo what you said about expecting the hair to still be there, I have the same experience with my chest since I did a breast reduction 2 months ago. It’s very strange 😂

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks and congrats on your reduction. i hope that's brought about positive change for you as my (lack of) hair has for me. :)

[@OtakuGunsoNY]

Very awsome, loving the new hair do !! xD You look much happier these days and that's awsome :'D

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks. :)

[@almetas_grandbaby]

Awww you look so happy 🥰

[@softspasoundsasmr9048]

Omg! New hair new glasses new job!!! I just love this update!!!! Look at you go!! I'm so happy for you 💓 enjoy your breezy head this summer 🤣

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks! i'm really looking forward to a much cooler summer for once. :)

[@persnrandm5533]

You’re hair is so cool! Also, the last part of the video background was great. I was really excited for the video. When I was 18, over the course of 6 months I went from my hair to being a foot long, to a few inches, to a few cm and then I started shaving my head. It was a strange feeling each time. Granted, I always wanted to shave my head daily and I imagined myself as having no hair. But I still get bad dreams, 4 years later of me having long hair which is weird. I luckily don’t have it so often. Also, I got all of my haircuts at college in my senior year of high school. So I didn’t have to deal with the judgey rich high schoolers which was nice.

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks! it was nice trying something new with this video. :) it's interesting hearing about your experience with your hair, so thank you for sharing. i'm glad that it's (mostly?) gone well for you. i get the feeling that once i start shaving my own hair, it's going to become a bit... addicting? like being drunk on the power that a shaver affords me. lolol but anyway, thanks again and best wishes to you.

[@LadyEvildragonEX]

You look great! The look suits you well.

[@viviisthebest100]

You look great omg~ 💜💜💜 It was the same for me when i first got my hair cut with like noticing like cold air on my head it took me a while to get use to it 😂

[@oOSonnEngelOo]

your hair looks great and congrats on the job! good that things go well for you lately. oh and love the video style btw

[@QueerAsCat]

thank you. :) best wishes to you as well.

[@HParadoxa]

I'm really happy everything turned out right for you !!

[@QueerAsCat]

thx. :)

[@marshalljohnblount1993]

The hair is so rad 💜♠💜♠💜

[@deadboy5678]

YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO GOOOOD R U KIDDING MEEEEE ✨✨✨✨✨ And I like your new glasses. Though, I totally get the designer vibe, as well 😂😂😂 Omg I would liveee if I could ever get to a point where people don't gender me or even if I got a mix. I am t i r e d

[@QueerAsCat]

lol thanks!

[@deadboy5678]

@@QueerAsCat oh my god restaurants are the wORST for misgendering. Idk it happened to me like twice in one week and I wanted to never leave my house again lmfao. I shall knock on wood for you, too, friend lol

[@NeonMilkTea]

ack! you look great!

[@Danari7]

I love your new hair! So cool! Hair is a big deal... Love the vlogy video style as well. Do you prefer people calling you by your name or asking you for your pronouns? I’m asking apropos what you talked about in the interview. Congrats on new hair, new city, new job!

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks! it was nice to experiment with something new while editing, even if it was a pain at times. as for name vs pronouns, i have no preference really. for me, people using my (chosen) name is just as empowering as them using my (chosen) pronouns, and in the absence of most people being familiar with the usage of neutral pronouns, them just using my name is a nice, safe alternative that i appreciate them using when they do.

[@CatBarefield]

Congrats! I like that haircut! A big chop is so fun. Question though, as a non binary person do you like it when people try to avoid gendered language talking to you? I feel like i would try to do that but i wonder if its useful at all

[@QueerAsCat]

thanks. :) personally speaking, i very much prefer gender neutral language in reference to myself as gendered language is more than just annoying, it can trigger dysphoria and / or depression (among other things) for me. even if a person slips up and makes mistakes, i very much appreciate the consideration and effort of them trying.

[@misfitrmdiqpiq]

hi just letting you know for next time, the light writing on the light background can be very hard to read. also you look great!

[@QueerAsCat]

yeah, i get that... sorry about that. will be more mindful of that in the future. thanks for the feedback and for watching. :)
