Lei Heng is very rough and doesn’t care too much about the prep work. If something goes wrong then it’s whatever, he’s rich enough to pay someone to treat you and make that little problem go away.

He insists on being the one to give you your shots as well, mostly because he’s a pervert and an excuse to touch you is one that he won’t ever refuse. He’s also very good at reaffirming your in that he’ll repeatedly tell you how good you’re being by taking the shot so well and that he’ll reward you later.

Kong Qiu is significantly more caring with your hrt shot than Lei Heng is. He’ll make sure that you’re comfortable, handle the prep carefully and make sure that you won’t feel the needle going in by distracting you. Mostly by talking to you about a topic he thinks you’re passionate about — and one that you both preferably agree on — but he can also do it via touch as well. If holding your hand or him letting you hold his is what helps you the most through the shot, he’ll do that.

He’ll also make sure that you have access to hrt no matter what the situation is as well as giving you tips for your voice and such. If you come to him with a problem on how there’s something about you that you feel doesn’t fit your gender, he’ll look into it to give you the help you need.

Vergilius treats you like a child during the whole process because that’s what he’s used to: dealing with children throwing tantrums over not wanting to get a shot for one reason or another.

If you look like you’re the type to put up a fight, then Vergilius will hold you down — even tie you up — while he’s giving you the shot. If you look like you’re about to cry instead, he’ll try to comfort you and put effort into distracting you from the needle. Otherwise he puts the bare minimum amount of effort in — despite treating you like a kid, because you are an adult and he’s aware of that — and will give you candy afterwards. Mostly to mock you, but if you accept it then he’ll make sure to give you one after each shot.

He also reminds you of your weekly shots last minute before pulling you away from whatever you were doing to give you said shot. Don’t worry though, he’ll return you to whatever you were doing before.

There are two ways that this can go down with Kromer, really.

She can be extremely supportive — being trans is part of being human, after all! — so she’ll eagerly help you with your shots, though she might get carried away with it and fetishize your transness. She’ll coo affirmations in your ear as she gives you your shot, though she doesn’t put any effort into the prep at all — if she even bothers with it — and is more focused on feeling up your body. She’s also not above lying to you about when you need to take your shots so she can get more alone time with you and more excuses to touch you.

On the other hand, she can be extremely against you being trans because you’re denying what you were born with. Part of being human is accepting what you were born with and dealing with whatever life hands you. If you can’t accept what you were born with and what happened to you, even something that only affects you, then what different are you from prosthetic users?

As such, Kromer would kill you if you asked her for help.

Ricardo wouldn’t give you the shots himself but he’d be very supportive and get people who are experienced with this stuff to handle it and help you out.

This isn’t to say that he can’t handle the shots — he can, he’s not so weak that the sight of needles going into someone’s flesh would make him faint — but it does put him off. Still, you only need to let him know that you trust only him with the needles if you want him to be the one giving you the shot.

He helps you out in other ways; helping you with binding, going out shopping to buy every outfit that catches your eye, killing people who misgender and deadname you, reaffirming your gender, the works. Anyone who misgenders you will have their entire bloodline put into the book of vengeance, so you don’t need to worry about people acting transphobic towards you.

Ahab doesn’t care about you being trans, she won’t help you with your shots either because it won’t help her hunt down the Pallid Whale whatsoever.

She changes her tune if she ever she realizes how she can use this to manipulate you. She doesn’t care about the prep, she’s rough as she gives you the shot and she’s pretty much manhandling you during the process. It’s more likely that she’ll just toss you into the arms of a mermaid then bring you back when you’ve been turned into a mermaid as well, though.

At least she gives you plenty of gender affirmations! Not very good at keeping up with your weekly shots though, she’d do them daily.

Xue Pan’s very happy to help you but there’s no prep and also he takes some of your shots for himself. He doesn’t care if things go wrong, he will stick the needle in himself first, laugh about it, then give you the shot. He won’t go out of his way to be rough — and on some days that rarely come by, he will be gentle about it — but he will take delight in your displeasure and discomfort, as well as your pain.

He’s also terrible at reminding you to take your shots because he struggles remembering them himself.

Hohenheim is extremely pretentious about it to the point that he almost rivals Faust’s condescension when it comes to your hrt shots. Almost.

Like with most other things, this is just Hohenheim’s attempt at pushing people away so he won’t get attached to them and they, to him. He should not have accepted to help you in the first place to help keep his distance from you, but he couldn’t not help you either. So what you get instead is insults and condescension while he quietly makes sure you’re comfortable, handles the prep carefully to ensure that nothing will go wrong and distract you so you won’t even feel the needle going in.

He also sets up several reminders, both for you and himself, for your shots.

Callisto’s fascination with your body — and now, your gender identity — is what leads to him saying yes. He’d offer to rebuild you a body that reflects your gender to help speed up the process but he’s understanding if you say no because this gives him a chance to observe your body. Who knows, maybe this’ll help him make an art piece that can be understood by everyone.

He’s meticulous about everything — the prep, the shot, the reminders — but he’s disappointed by how lacklustre all of it is. He was expecting more, so more he does.

He looks into everything there is to know about transitioning so he can act accordingly. He doesn’t stop giving you shots, but he does lie about how that’s the only thing he does when he’s doing so much more. Before, he was only interested in messing around with how human bodies as they were when he pushed them to their limit, but now? After helping you with your shots? He’s interested in what kind of creations he can make by putting different materials and chemicals in human bodies.

Maybe that stops counting as corporism, but Callisto doesn’t care all that much at that point. Just don’t be surprised if you wake up as a monster one day or turn into one during the night. Though Callisto’s always happy to replace your flesh body with a prosthetic one.

Stabbing people in general is very hot to Ryoshu and it doesn’t matter if she’s stabbing you with a sword or a needle. A hrt shot is no different for her even if she has to do prep beforehand, though she is displeased by the lack of blood and violence.

She’s a bit rough as she handles you, mostly out of a desire to see you squirm because she realizes quickly that just stabbing you isn’t enough. She won’t do more than that — even though she wants to — unless you ask her for more.

Though, if you are a sinner, you probably should give it a day or two before Ryoshu has her fun with you lest Dante’s revival removes the effects of your shot.

Hong Lu is a bit too interested in the thought of stabbing a needle into you to let go of the opportunity to do just that.

He’s a bit touchy as he goes about it; hand lingering on your skin a bit too long as he cooes reassurances and reaffirmations to you. He’s gentle with both the prep and the shot itself, making sure that you won’t feel a bit of pain or the feeling of the needle going inside your skin. No, you’ll be too distracted to even notice.

Afterwards, you can expect Hong Lu to ask you plenty of questions, most of which will be asking you about your experience — your transition, specifically — but he will also slip in questions from other topics. In general, Hong Lu is someone reliable that you can go to whenever you need a shot.

Faust takes a moment before accepting your offer because she has to quickly ask the gessellschaft on how to give someone a hrt shot. Asking you would be embarrassing because you’re coming to her for help and she’s supposed to be all knowing.

As a result, she’s a tiiiiny bit condescending the first one or two times she helps you out. The prep goes well and the needle goes in without you noticing, but your experience with her help gets noticeably better after she gets over her feelings of inferiority.

Overall she’s reliable and you can trust that she’s more focused on doing things right to get caught up by the fact that she’s giving you a shot that’s in intimate areas.

As expected, Meursault is professional with his help. He doesn’t need to be told much, if anything, about your hrt shot because he already knows what to do and is familiar with the process. If you ask him about it, he’ll give a short answer about how he helped someone else with this in the past.

If he knows that you can handle the needle well, he’ll do what you ask of him to quietly and only speak up to let you know when he’s done. If he knows that you’re anxious about the needle, he’ll distract you by talking about something different. You won’t even realize that he already did the prep work and gave you your shot until he says that he’s done. Not unless you’re watching him anyway, but if you’re anxious about needles then he’ll tell you not to look.

Afterwards, Meursault will let you know whenever you need to take your weekly shot and he’ll help you with every single one unless you tell him to stop.

Outis is unwilling to help you at first because she believes that this is something that you should do on your own — building character and all that — but she changes her tune quickly the moment you mutter about going to someone for help. If you’re going to bother others over with this then you might as well go with the person who’s the most qualified.

She’s unhappy and grumbles to herself as she does the prep. She also doesn’t care if you feel the needle or whether it’s painful, but you won’t feel a thing whenever she’s giving you your shot.

She’d prefer for this to be a one time thing so she initially has no plans to give you reminders, but ends up giving you reminders anyway as well as helping you with your future shots.

Who would do be okay-ish?

As expected, Yi Sang happily agrees to help you. You don’t need to do much to convince him.

He’s gentle throughout the entire process. He handles the prep delicately to make sure nothing goes wrong and will ramble on about something complex that he likes. You’ll either be interested enough that you won’t feel the needle go in or bored out of your mind that you won’t notice it. If you feel it anyway by some chance, he will apologize to you and promise he’ll do better next time.

However, he fumbles when giving you the shot when he realizes where exactly he needs to give you the shot. His cheeks turn pink and while this won’t stop him from helping you weekly, he will get flustered whenever the topic gets brought up even though he knows he shouldn’t be because there’s nothing he should be flustered about, but that doesn’t stop him from blushing profusely.

Don agrees to help you without a second thought when you first come to her because why wouldn’t she?

She starts to regret it a bit as you explain to her what she needs to do — specifically where she needs to give the shots. Isn’t it… improper? Inappropriate?? She’ll still help you of course but she’ll be flustered through the entire process. The prep is sloppy because she’s distracted and the shot itself is clumsy because she tries not to look while doing it… which might go alright or horribly wrong depending on your luck.

As a result, she’ll be very sad by how that went and will be apologetic — or look at you sadly from across the room — as well as understanding if you don’t come to her for help again. If you do want her help still, then she’ll be significantly more prepared the next time around.

Ishmael has to ask you what to do beforehand because she’s not familiar with this stuff, but she has your back when it comes to it.

The prep goes just fine and she doesn’t think much about the fact that the shot goes into intimate areas because why would she? There’s no need for her to be flustered because there’s nothing sexual about what she’s doing. That said, she might fumble with the needle and be clumsy with it due to her inexperience. She wouldn’t be able to comfort or distract you from the needle either — mostly because she doesn’t see the need to — but she will reassure you that you’re fine after your shot.

Overall, she’s pretty reliable and will set up a few alarms so that you don’t forget about your shot.

Dante is actually squeamish about the whole process but they do their best to put aside their problems when it comes to your hrt shots. They might be a little clumsy with the prep as well as when they’re giving you the shot — which they’ll fumble with a lot at first due to them having to give you the shot in areas that are far too intimate for them — but they’ll get used to it with time and they’ll do their best to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible during the whole process.

They’ll also regularly remind you of your weekly shots and go get you something you might like — maybe a little plushie, maybe a treat — after your shot to help make you feel better.

They’d also be overly cautious about their needles — they don’t want to screw up and give you an infection by accident — so they’ll end up throwing away plenty of sterile needles.

Sinclair wants to help you with your hrt shots, he really does! But the sight of the needle itself is enough to make him feel uneasy and on the verge of fainting. He can help with the prep just fine, but giving you the shot… not so much. The one time he tried to, he ended up passing out.

He’s a little ashamed of himself for this. He can bash in the head of strangers just fine but when it comes to sticking a needle into your skin to help you, suddenly he has a problem?

Any time you try to get his help with a hrt shot, he’ll go get someone that he thinks is more reliable — usually Yi Sang, sometimes Ishmael, not Meursault though because Sinclair is a bit intimidated by him — and help them with the prep or stay by your side so you have someone to talk with while you’re getting the shot.

That’s the most he can do for you.

Another one that’s fainting at the sight of needles despite how used Heathcliff is to violence and how much he wants to help you with your hrt shot.

He’ll help you with literally everything else. He’ll let you borrow his clothes and help you with binding if you lean towards transmasc, he’ll go shopping with you for new clothes if you lean towards transfemme and he’ll even carry your bags for you like a proper gentleman would with his lady. If anyone misgenders you then he’ll angrily correct them, and if they keep misgendering you then he’ll get into a fight all too happily.

However, needles is too much for him even when he’s not the one receiving them. The prep will be sloppy and he won’t be able to give you the shot properly before he passes out from the sight. He will eagerly bring you to Meursault for your hrt shots and hold your hand during the process; encouraging you and telling you that you’re doing a good job to support you.

That said he’d actually cause a little problem for Meursault first as he doesn’t like the idea of you getting your short in somewhere so intimiate. He’d be extremely flustered when he first finds out about this as well.

Rodya knows very well that she can’t help you so she refuses to when you first come up to her. Needles are terrifying and injecting a fluid into someone’s body is gross. She can’t do it no matter how much she wants to help you.

She can provide good emotional support while someone else handles the shot, though! She’d be pretty good at distracting you from the needle.

Gregor is actually a good candidate for your hrt shot. Despite him only having one hand to use, he has gotten very good at using that very hand so giving you the shot isn’t the problem.

The problem is his bug arm that might act up during the process. Just the possibility of it is enough to make him unwilling to help you with your hrt shot even though he refuses to, and it doesn’t help that you’re going to be very vulnerable during that time. The thought of hurting you when you’ve trusted him with something this important is enough to fill him with shame.

He’ll direct you to Meursault or Faust if you come to him for help, but he’ll never do it himself.
