#plus i'm gay so idk what people find attractive in men

[hard--headed--woman]

im also goldstar/never even kissed a man but it doesn't seem fair to me to blanket call anyone who's recently came out/slept with men in the past straight. I believe she has a gf currently? But either way I can understand how living in a conservative/religious small town would make it easier to stay with your bf you aren't attracted to but are attached to for other reasons (companionship, friendship etc) than when you move away and can be more yourself. Do I know if she's a lesbian or if she will end up figuring out she's bi or whatever, I have no clue. But it seems pretty hurtful to think her attraction isn't genuine. Maybe I'm too sympathetic bc I'm feminine looking (although I don't wear makeup or shave) and so I know most people don't immediately think of me as gay, even though I could never even imagine finding a man attractive but idk. I honestly would more likely believe Chappell is gay and was closeted than some self ID lesbians who say stuff like well yeah I'm attracted to men everyone can see when a man's handsome I just don't want to go further. I have never understood attraction to even conventionally attractive/celebrity men so that is more weird to me than like. Staying in a relationship because you're attached and they've been a part of your life for years vs genuinely being attracted.

Jesus I am so SICK of people like you sending me asks like these. When will you people ever STOP defending fakebians and understand that no, no matter how homophobic her family is, a lesbian would not willingly spend YEARS sleeping with a man ??? For real leave me alone and go defend lesbophobes elsewhere if you really have so little pride

She isn’t a lesbian. That's it. Everyone who disagrees is a homophobe on top of being an absolute idiot. Even if she's from a homophobic backround, and we don't even know if she is, she still spent years sleeping with her ex, she spent years singing about sex with men, she is obsessed with her ex and talks about him all the time, she is obsessed with men in general and only talks about them, she sings, dances and talks for the male gaze, and she decided to call herself a lesbian only because she hates men and thinks they're bad at sex. Since when is that lesbianism ? No matter how homophobic her family is and no matter how hard she's struggling with internalized homophobia, a lesbian would absolutely never do this.

I don't care if it's hurftul. I don't think she's attracted to women at all, and even if she is, then she's just another homophobic bisexual. Also, I don't understand how it has anything to do with you being feminine looking, lol. Do you think that's why I say Chappell is straight ? I would call her straight even if she was as masculine as Rocky Balboa.

"it's easier to stay with your bf you aren't attracted to" then why dating him in the first place ? Plus I don't think a lesbian could sleep with a man for years, no matter what. Do you have any idea how traumatizing that would be ? And above all, WHY would a lesbian do that ? Also, in Roan's case, she is so obsessed with her ex that even if you believe a lesbian can date a man (stupid thing to believe), it's still very very obvious that she was attracted to him. A lesbian wouldn't obsess over a guy that way.

Anyway, a real lesbian would never start dating a man at all, let alone stay with him for years. If you really are a lesbian, let me give you an advice : stop protecting fakebians. They're not on your side. They're helping TRAs and conservative homophobes. You're working against all lesbians when you defend people like Roan.

[princess-of-the-corner]

So Enji's state of mind is a little unclear to me (probs cuz I can't remember how we decided he finds out about gay people. I think it's different for different AUs?). Does he find out gay people exist and immediately go "huh. Interesting. Oh shit, that's me. I'm gay. This explains SO MUCH," or does he have to like, sit and stew in his revelation for a few weeks to a few years?

Bonus question, how long does it take him to put together that all his children are some flavor of gay?

Bonus bonus question, does the rest of the lgbtq+ spectrum (including gender queerness) happen in the same conversation as the "so gay people exist" one, or does he just have to wait for Rei's gender awakening on that one?

Okay so the way it happens in the mainline Chaos Children universe is just. God I actually can't find the initial post.

So for one thing this is at the point in CC where Enji is already working on his nonsense. (things happen differently in this au so they find out Dabi=Toya during the Hideout Raid arc and that kicks his redemption arc in, plus the other kids kidnapping Toya back)

anyway!

This whole thing kicks off because Shoto tries to come out as bisexual. (mostly because it'll be hard to hide given his partners are interacting with Enji for school/work/the whole goddamn war thing).

So he does that, and Enji is like 'what the fuck are you talking about??' and they explain that it means he finds both women and men sexually attractive and he's like "???? Everyone things men and women are sexually attractive what are you talking about???'

Which ob BOY the kids take a pause to unpack THaT.

But yeah it's a weird situation where he knew that he just assumed everyone was aware of the sexual attractiveness of both genders, but only male/female relationships existed because that's.... well he's never really seen any indication of the idea of same gender relationships(because he's oblivious as fuck sometimes) so he just. assumed that wasn't something done?

But yeah no they just kinda. Explain that people of the same gender can have a relationship. and also that there are different sexualities like some people don't find men attractive at all. Fuyumi uses herself as an example there because yeah just. Nope. No men. Enji is like "Seriously? Have you- have you seen men though??' which Natsuo is laughing at the situation like 'Sure have! Much better than women!" (So yeah he learns 3/4 but I'm not sure when he learns that it's 4/4?)

and yeah it's certainly a lot of things to process. and he even goes to work the next day and asks Burnin like 'did you know this was a thing??' and she just looks at him trying to process like "what.... what did you think I meant when I said I was taking lunch out to have a date with my girlfriend??" to which he's like 'idk don't girls call their friends 'girlfriends' sometimes?' and she's like 'okay fair point that's confusing totally made that mistake in reverse before and asked out a straight girl'.

On one hand it's a lot to process. On the otherhand! Not knowing that gay people exist means absolutely zero homophobia. and since he no longer cares about the damage to his reputation as a Hero and really does not feel much threat from general homophobes(seriously good luck trying to kick his ass).

He just. Rolls with it? Doesn't care on hiding it?

and yeah there's also the weird Midnight friendship happening somewhere during this and he brings this up to her like 'okay you know things you know about this how does any of it-' and ofc she's gonna dunk on him a little but also def gonna give him the rundown on All That™.

as for the rest of the lgbt and the Rei stuff:

Rei also gets to learn about gay people but it's less in a 'she didn't know' and more a 'she expressed interest in a girl once and her parents told her that same-gender attraction wasn't real it's just something freak pervert sexual deviants do' so she shut it down for 30-odd years until she sees Toya and Hawks being affectionate and is like 'oh that's something to unpack in therapy'. (she knows her parents suck and unpacked some things on her own like their hatred of mutation Quirks and overall misogynistic gender roles, but

While it doesn't take /long/ for someone to bring up the trans stuff, it's not in the same conversation it's more like it comes up and everyone goes 'wait we explained gay people but do you know about trans people???'

Rei's reaction is ofc 'wait you can do that????' though he does have to spend a while sorting out if his feelings are transness or just underlying dislike of her gender via trauma.

Enji initially says he doesn't feel anything gender-wise but..... He does later admit that he really only considers himself 'male' because that's what he's 'supposed' to be? Like he's got a dick, he's always perceived as 'male' by everyone no one would mistake him for a woman, etc. But if those things don't determine your gender, then what does determine it? He has no idea. Which isn't exactly a 'cis' answer but he's not really giving much thought to finding a label.

[buffintruder]

man I feel like we don't consume the same media as much anymore tbh so. that character ask game you reblogged + the first character that comes to mind from Kamen rider + #1, 11, 12, 13, 27?

Thank you for sending an ask! You can definitely always send things about stuff we used to be in but are not as much anymore. I'm definitely not going to back down from an excuse to talk about Kamen Rider though haha

I'm going to do Hajime from Kamen Rider Blade just because I was working on a fic about him earlier, and I love him

My first impression of them

This is a bit weird because I did see the last episode of the show before anything else, and he's a lot more emotionally connected to people (specifically Kenzaki), and mostly I remember him looking like he's about to cry when asking Kenzaki not to leave. From watching the show in order though, he's just a gruff guy who loves two (2) people in the world (the single mom and daughter that he lives with and are basically his family now)

11. What’s the first thing you think about when thinking about the character?

I think I mostly just feel kind of sad? To this day I think my first thought is the really sad and desperate expression he makes in the last episode. Honestly I think my entire thought process is "Hajime!!! Hajime :((" when I think about him. His whole existence is a bit tragic (guy created to destroy the world but unfortunately happens to really like some of the people and things in it)

12. Sexuality hc!

Uhhh aroace-spec gay. He doesn't use those labels, but that roughly corresponds to what he is. I think he's in love with Kenzaki and that's about it (is there a sexual attraction element? idk, up to you). He doesn't know what he is doing or what is going on regarding his feelings for the most part. Maybe he could be attracted to other people, but honestly I don't think he cares enough about other people for it to go anywhere even if he was (yes he will fight monsters to save their lives, no he does not have any interest in talking to them). Plus I think there's an element of like, after everything Kenzaki did for him, is it even worth being into someone if they didn't swear to fight fate for him and then give up their life for him? (Honestly, I don't understand how romance or sexuality works, and I project this onto every single nonhuman character I encounter)

13. Your favorite friendship they have

I feel like the obvious choice here is Hajime and Amane. He may have killed her dad? Now he lives with this 9-10 year old and she draws pictures of them that he hangs up on his wall, and he would die for her and she would tear the world apart to find him if he left. He's not quite a father figure to her, but he's also not not one. She helped inspire a love of humanity and of being alive in him. But shout out to Haruka (widower who let this random guy live with her, and he clearly has Something up with him, but she won't press him about it. Absolutely 0 romantic tension between them despite him sort of parenting her daughter, what a dynamic) because I think there's a lot of potential there that people don't tap into much.

27. If they could meet a character from another show/movie/etc, who would be the most fun for them to meet?

I decided to challenge myself by not picking another Kamen Rider character. I honestly think maybe the Doctor from Doctor Who? It's been a while since I've seen that show, but they both have kind of a vibe of "immortal lonely men, the last of their kind but invested in humanity." They'd probably have a somewhat philosophical conversation and the Doctor might give him a bit of hope and encouragement, but they'd both be able to commiserate

[reginageourge]

I was just wondering if that's the only evidence you have on goldstarsappho? What they wrote sounds exaggerated (the "literally had to buy earplugs" talking about the smell even though they're in another room, the "super loud daddy dom," the "bruh") It seems like they could be lying?

Them being a TRA and finding out about gs-sappho scamming people by pretending to be trans or her GC views could have given them reasons to lie.

idk the message they wrote comes across as a troll, it's almost "too perfect"

we don't have solid evidence that she lied about her sexuality apart from the dm from the person at her uni, buuuuut we did have suspicions for months and months before they caught her scamming transanta that she was 1) attracted to men and 2) into ddlg. the former suspicion was based on her being really weird about certain men, like frequently talking about this one professor she has and how everyone apparently accuses her of wanting to fuck him just bc she took his classes and bought a book he wrote (I find it hard to believe that ppl would tease her about having a crush on this guy based just on those things alone), and she liked harry styles in a really intense way that came across as more than being just a fan of his music. like she bragged about being a harry styles expert and talked about reading fanfiction about him breastfeeding from his 4 nipples and making artisan cheese with the leftovers (🤢) and she was also convinced he was secretly bisexual but in the closet (but weirdly thought louis tomlinson was straight even though the harry styles gay/bi rumours are based on him apparently being in a relationship with louis tomlinson in the past). like her interest in harry styles went way beyond just liking his music, it came across as a weird fujo fangirl kind of interest. plus on her reddit account, there was a comment she made in the star trek sub where she mentioned writing an nsfw fanfiction about two-dicked klingons, and idk why a lesbian would write something like that. and she was quite into fandom, but never mentioned lesbian ships, only gay male ones.

and aside from the kinda odd way she talked about men, the way she talked about lesbianism itself was really weird. she said that she thought oral was gross, fingering was weird, strap ons were for fakebians only, and that vulvas were gross and she'd only touch one wearing a disposable glove. which barely leaves behind any lesbian sex acts. she isn't the most physically fit person so I doubt she has the flexibility to scissor, and does anyone just do like. humping on thighs. and never any other sex acts? in any case it doesn't rlly matter bc she talked about how she'd rather hold hands or kiss someone's wrist than have sex. plus she contradicted herself when talking about her sexual history a lot. like she said that she'd only ever had sex using dental dams and rubber gloves. but she also said she'd only had sex in prison standing up over corpses (lmao). and she'd also talked about how she liked having sex in extremely large bathtubs so big they're basically hot tubs. and she talked about how she only would have sex if her hair was curled and her makeup was done and she was wearing perfume etc, which makes it sound like she hasn't had sex yet bc she'd only want to do it under the circumstances of being very pampered beforehand. at first I thought she was a virgin and insecure about it, so that's why she kept telling sex stories that couldn't all be true at the same time. but I'm pretty sure she just lied to fit in with actual lesbians and lost track of which lies she'd already told.

and as for the ddlg stuff, it was a similar story. she was just doing things that gave off an adult baby vibe. you know how ppl with a certain kink will often bring it up out of nowhere ostensibly to make fun of it, like haha that's sooo weird who would be into that? even though nobody asked? that was her. plus she also commissioned toddler dresses (actual toddler dresses that had pictures of toddlers modelling them on the seamstresses website) in her size, which she'd spend quite a lot of money on, I checked the site and she had a ducky dress and a froggy dress from it which each cost $160. even though she claimed to live below the poverty line. plus during transanta, she scammed toddler backpacks and a $600 adult tricycle. those things by themselves aren't necessarily proof of her being into ddlg, she might just have a cutesy sense of style. but what seems to be proof is that in addition to the aforementioned items, during transanta she also added rompers from a company called littleforbig, which specialises in fetish clothing and adult pacifiers and the like for ppl into ddlg. and she knew that the company was for ddlg paraphernalia, bc she'd talked about how gross she thought it was that someone else on transanta requested things from this company on their gift registry. idk about anyone else, but as much as I like cute clothing myself (although not to the extent of going outside wearing a pinafore meant for 3 year olds in my size), I would never want to wear adult toddler clothing literally made to be fetish gear. and I certainly would not spend money on such a company, whether it's my own or tras.

plus we knew for sure that she lied about aspects of her identity just to make her positions seem more authoritative. like she was interested in indigenous canadian activism, so she claimed to have been raised by inuks and that she was a full member of the inuit nation and that she ate caribou and sewed seal skins and did soapstone carvings (she also claimed to have been raised by japanese-koreans and to have grown up in japan. and that she was roma but lived in chechnya. and probably other things I'm forgetting). and on her reddit she got into a fight with a woman on r/plussizefashion who posted pictures of her shein outfit (she claimed to be a big advocate for sustainable fashion despite scamming ridiculous amounts of cheap amazon knock off j-fashion and cartoon cosplay outfits during transanta), and in the middle of this argument started claiming she was a former child sweatshop worker from a developing country and that everyone who called her weird was tone-policing a victim. in my opinion, she probably is a bisexual who agreed with the gold stars during gold star discourse, but instead of just being honest about being a bisexual who happens to be pro-goldstar, she decided to pretend to be a goldstar herself to add more weight to her arguments. which also goes along with how her schtick of being a brown lesbian who went to jail and still didn't have sex with a man was basically a tailor-made response to the type of ngs on here who always brings up women in muslim countries being forcibly married to men as an explanation as to why they willingly slept with men (despite nearly all of them living in north america or europe and never being in a situation like that).

as for the tra on insta? it's possible that they're exaggerating, we don't have a way to know unless someone books a flight to halifax and gains entry to her student accommodation to see if you can really smell her dorm from out in the hallway or hear her having sex from another room. but we do think they at least actually know her and that some of the things they mentioned have some truth to them. mostly bc they talked about things we knew or suspected about gs sappho without us ever bringing them up first. for example, I asked sunlight-beauty (who was the one talking to them) to ask about the adult tricycle gs sappho scammed bc I was curious about what she did with it, like did she ride it around her campus in her 6x toddler dresses? or let it gather dust (that would have been such a power move tbh, tricking tras into buying her a $600 tricycle and then never using it). anyway, the person replied to this saying that yes she has a tricycle, and do you know what lolita fashion is? she rides around on the tricycle in these lolita dresses being flirty with men in a weird baby voice. we knew she definitely was interested in lolita fashion bc she'd talk about it all the time, and the tra was the first one to bring it up, sunlight-beauty hadn't prompted it. and there were some other things like that, where they casually brought up stuff we knew or suspected about gs sappho without us ever mentioning them first.

so idt the person is a troll. they could be exaggerating for sure, but there's at least grains of truth to what they said.

tdlr: we don't have definitive proof, but we did have enough circumstantial evidence that we were suspicious of gs sappho lying about her lesbianism long before the tra from her uni came into the picture

[wearequeer-andwearehere]

hey!! this might be really long and if so i'm sorry for that, just trying to figure some stuff out.

okay basically, i'm a cis female and idk what my sexuality is. i've never been in a relationship, never had strong feelings for anyone, i've kissed three boys all in club settings, and i am so confused.

i think women are pretty?? and i love looking at them in a respectful, 'you're so gorgeous way', and men are good looking in a very different way to me but i still think i'm attracted to them

i'd like to kiss a girl but i can't ever see myself being in a relationship with one. and i don't know if that is some sort of internalised homophobia that i need to address or if it's just lack of experience, bc i don't think i can see myself with a guy. or maybe a can because it's what i see all around me???

and then the idea of being approached by a women in a sexual/romantic way scares me. is that just lack of experience??

and then i've had multiple people say to me 'are you sure you aren't gay?' and other things along those lines in a non-serious way, and if i am queer, i feel like i'm proving them right, and how did i not see or realise this sooner?? like i should've known right?? if everyone else did??

and a lot of my friends are queer and i feel really safe and accepted with them, so i don't know if i just want to be apart of that and am simply creating issues that aren't even there to begin with??

but then i've dreamt about being with women and straight women don't have them?? right?

then i tell myself i don't have to know right now, but it seems like everyone else but me knows. i'm 20 yrs old and i have NO idea about anything, and maybe that's okay? plus sexuality is fluid? and always changing so maybe i'll never know?

this was very messy and i'm sorry for that, but if you have any advice or thoughts, i'd be so grateful, i'm so overwhelmed right now. - a <3

Hi hi hi A!! Don’t worry about it long rambly asks are totally fine I’m here for u homie

Wow bro ur getting some action 😭 😭 can we switch places lmao

Oh wow you’re 20?? Okay disclaimer, I am a teenager haha so take everything I say with a pinch of salt bc I explored this whole sexuality thing when I was like 13, so we’ve had v different experiences but I’ll try my best to help u out bro I gotchu

What do you mean by “in a different way?” That can mean two things. Do you find women pretty objectively and men like ATTRACTIVE, or are you attracted to both men and women in different ways?

The whole being scared thing is, as my generation would say, a Big Mood. It could be either internalised homophobia or lack of experience or maybe you just don’t like women at all.

In terms of dreaming about being with women, that could mean anything or nothing. Dreams are just your subconscious putting everything in a blender and pouring the smoothie of hell into your sleep brain. It could mean you want to be with women or it could mean that shit in ur skull is just fucking around.

Honey you do NOT have to know right know. You’re twenty. That’s like. You’ve lived like 25% of your life, approximately. That’s jack shit. That’s not even the pass mark on most tests. You have got SO MUCH of your life left to live, you’ve got like decades and shit man, you don’t gotta have everything down right now. Talk to like ur parents or older friends and see *how much* life you have ahead of you.

It’s possible that this may also be contributing to that whole young adult early 20s “oh my god everyone else knows everything and i’m floundering” but honey trust me EVERYONE is floundering. Everyone is fucked. People seem put together but trust me dude we are all goddamn messes. You’re not alone. So many people are trying to figure themselves out, just like you.

Imma be fr thinking about this shit? Overrated. You’ll just think urself into another spiral and it’ll be the mental equivalent of doing like 19 buzzfeed quizzes titled “Am I Gay?” at 3:41am and wondering where ur life is going.

Just. Stop thinking. I know it’s hard trust me I have shitass anxiety and it’s so so hard to stop thinking but stop. Tell ur brain to stfu

And then just think of one thing. what makes you HAPPY?

Because that’s all that matters in the long run, doesn’t it?

Kiss a girl and see if it makes you happy. Kiss a guy and ask yourself the same thing.

If I were you, what I would personally do is just uhhh fuck around and find out? Go to a bunch of clubs and just be really slutty til things eventually make sense lmaoo

But once again that’s not for everyone so maybe just try and think about it. Does the idea of being with a girl make you happy? With a guy? Being single?

Also one idea might be for you to explore the aromantic label—you said you’ve never had strong feelings for anyone and it sounds like you might be aro. Look under my #aro questioning tag and check out these posts:

Remember, A, there’s no time limits on these things. There’s no deadlines. You’re young, you’ve got your whole life ahead of you, so take it slow and just be HAPPY and be true to yourself. Bend society to fit you—don’t bend yourself to fit labels, yknow what Im saying? Labels aren’t all that important at the end of the day. Just. Just *be.*

I hope I could help you out A!! Sending so so much love <3333 If you ever wanna talk again feel free to drop me an ask!! Have an awesome day <33

bullseye, catseye

“Your form is pitiful,” says Daabush as he cores an apple with his dagger. His eyes barely even lift to see Uuloril’s transgressions.

“Well, of course it is,” retorts Uuloril, glancing Daa’s way. “I’ve never done this before.” He stamps his foot petulantly, further disrupting his stance. The bow in his hands shakes as he tries his best to pull back the string.

Daa smirks, finally looking up at the mage. ��Don’t hold the arrow so long, you’ll wear your arms out. Shoot.”

Uuloril tries to focus his eyes on his target, a bullseye drawn in charcoal on a large birch tree in the near distance. The arrow’s head sways with the nervous motions of his hands. Finally, he gathers up the courage to let go of the string, closing his eyes as he does. 

The arrow falls flatly a few feet in front of him. He opens his eyes, startled as Daa bellows out laughter. Uuloril’s head whips to the side to see the hunter slapping his knee with the apple hand, his shirtless greenish-grey chest shaking with mirth.

Uuloril frowns and stomps up to Daabush, thrusting the bow into his arms. “Why don’t you show me how it’s done then, o master of the art?”

Daa stops laughing and accepts the challenge, setting down his knife and apple and taking up the bow. He returns to Uuloril’s former position, leaning over to grab the failed arrow. “Take notice,” Daa says, as Uuloril sits at the stump the hunter has abandoned, his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands as he observes.

In one fluid motion, Daabush draws back the arrow and string, takes aim for a brief second, then releases, launching the arrow directly into the center of the bullseye.

Uuloril throws his hands into the air with an exasperated sound as Daa casually retrieves the arrow from the tree. “What in Oblivion was I supposed to take notice of!”

“Anything but the tip of your nose,” mumbles Daabush. “Come here,” he commands as soon as he returns to his shooting spot. 

Uuloril grumbles but obliges, dusting off his robe as he stands. He plants his palms on his hips and frowns. “What now?”

“Let me show you how it’s done,” Daa says, gently handing back the bow and arrow. “Stand as you think you should, but don’t draw.”

Uuloril shakes his head but does as he’s told, shifting his feet awkwardly as he holds out the bow far from his chest.

Daabush’s rough hand gently grabs Uuloril’s wrist, pulling the bow back. “Save the energy for drawing. That way, you push and pull at the same time.” Uuloril feels the warmth of Daa’s chest collide with his back, automatically restructuring his stance. One of the hunter’s feet kicks at Uuloril’s heel, spreading it a bit further apart from the other. 

“...You can breathe. We’re not drawing yet.”

Uuloril lets it out in the form of a shaky laugh. “So. Shall we? Or are there any other corrections you must make?”

He can feel the smile bearing down on the back of his head. Another grey hand wraps itself around Uuloril’s other pale-gold wrist. “Position the arrow on the bow,” Daa says, guiding Uuloril’s hand, “like so.”

“Now, we draw -” Daa begins, before slowly pushing and pulling on Uuloril’s hands, the bow curling back with the tension. “- and shoot.” Daabush lets go of Uuloril’s wrist, which can’t maintain the pull strength on its own, the string flying straight past his fingers and sending the arrow flying, landing off to the side of the tree somewhere.

“Well,” Daabush says, as he peels his body away from Uuloril’s, “aim comes eventually - with practice.” 

Uuloril refuses to turn around, lest his face betray his blush. “Thank you.”

Daabush strides over towards the bushes, stopping a moment to pick out the arrow visually before grabbing it and returning to Uuloril. “Now,” he says, “let’s have you try it on your own again. Remember what I -”

“Shhh!” whispers Uuloril. “Don’t move.” Behind Daa, his keen Altmer eyes pick out two faint gleams in the foliage. Instinctively, the mage slowly takes the arrow from the hunter’s hands. He positions himself from the memory of closeness, and in one slow, fumbling motion, he pulls back the arrow, his arms and back burning from the strain of such a heavy draw. Daabush, motionless, glances at the arrowpoint lingering near his ear.

Then Uuloril lets go, and the arrow flies - it lands with a sickening wet sound, followed by a loud howl, followed by a heavy thud, followed by thick silence. 

“What was it?” Daabush asks after a moment, remaining still.

“I don’t know!” replies Uuloril, “but I think I killed it.”

The two wander over to the source of the sound of the howl and thud, and in the bush find the carcass of a sabre cat, an arrow sticking out of one of its eyes.

“Nice shot!” cries Daabush. “But next time, aim for the heart. The eyes are valuable, but not like this.” Uuloril says nothing, in awe of what he has accomplished.

“Ow,” says Daabush suddenly. He reaches up to cup his ear. His hand comes back streamed with blood. “Nicked me, you s’wit.”

“Oh,” says Uuloril, standing up to examine the cut. “I’m sorry.” He reaches up with his hand to heal it. Daabush instinctively reacts by grabbing his wrist, but stops himself and allows the mage to cast his magic. 

Once the spell is done and the bleeding stopped, the two are again unbearably close, their gazes locked together. Instead of retracting his hand, Uuloril grabs Daabush by the side of the head and pulls him down into a quick kiss.

Wide-eyed, Daabush pulls back after that brief moment of electricity, but doesn’t say anything, just staring at Uuloril. Uuloril’s own eyes widen, and he opens his mouth to apologize, but Daabush rushes into another kiss, embracing Uuloril tightly.

When they finally pull away from each other, they glance down at the carcass beneath them. “Let’s continue this…elsewhere, shall we?” suggests Uuloril.

“Yes. Let’s,” Daabush says, and he leads Uuloril into his tent.

Hi!:) (I'm pretty sure I only like women now but this has been the blog that I've come to for advice for 5 years so I hope it's okay that I ask this here?)

I'm a 20y/o woman and I just got a summer job at the womens undergarment section of a fancy mall/store (a bit like Harrods but not *that* expensive and not in the UK). I wouldn't have taken the job since being queer in that section might be a bit wrong but it’s one of the only ones that would take me for such a short time and the pay is pretty good+it'll look good on my CV and I'd like to work at their decor section next summer so I thought whatever.

It's chill to just put away lingerie and swimsuits etc. but yesterday a woman asked me for my opinion between two lingerie sets on her. Idk why it hadn't occurred to me that I'd have to do that at my job and I tried to be like 'idk if you really want to?' But it's a part of my job so obviously I had to. I didn't take it weirdly or sexually or anything, just told her my opinion and got her some different pieces in different sizes (tbh I'm just jealous that she bought the last set in my size from this sale) and the customer was happy that I helped her.

The problem is that it made me really uncomfortable because I felt that I was being a creep. I mean I wasn't, I didn't stare or act weird but it just feels wrong that I was there and she didn't know I'm a lesbian or anything. I don't want to make anyone else uncomfortable or make them feel preyed on but I can't quit the job and "well actually I like women and I felt like a creep" sounds like I was actually being a creep if I quit the job for that reason. But now I'm worried that a coworker realises I'm queer and I'll be treated differently or something bad would happen to the store's reputation or something (my country is progressive so I probably won't get fired). Now I'm just hyperaware of doing or saying or looking like anything that might make me look queer. Thankfully after completing my training next week I'll mostly be just working the cash register, but it still won't eliminate the problem. I don't know what should I do? I'm just feeling lost and super stressed and I can't remember the last time I wanted to be straight but that's all that's in my head rn.

Sorry for the long ask and thanks for helping<3

Hi anon

I'm not going to say this is not an issue at all because I understand your discomfort is a very real thing and obviously sadly homophobia is still an issue even in relatively 'progressive' cultures and portraying queer people as 'predatory' is still a thing that happens a lot unfortunately and this all seems to have contributed to your stress over this issue, plus of course I can't predict how your co-workers might behave towards you if they do find out that you're queer (I would hope though their reaction would be largely positive). But people aren't actually inherently predatory just because of their orientation (whether that's some variety of queer or straight); nobody's orientation makes them inherently unfit or 'inappropriate' to work in a particular job, and nobody is obligated to have to state their sexuality to both their employers and also every other person they come into contact with, like customers for example, in order to work out whether or not it's 'appropriate' for them to be working in a particular job.

To use straight men as an example here, whatever the radfems like to claim about men, straight men still are not inherently predatory just for being men or men who are attracted to women; every straight man who's working in a shop or other job where he comes into close contact with women is not going to be automatically 'taking advantage' of them in some way. So why should anyone who's lesbian/gay or bisexual or whatever be any different? I mean this following statement in the best possible way, anon: So you're a woman who likes women, so what? That doesn't make you some kind of pervert. Also you're probably not going to be attracted to every or even most of the woman you encounter and even if you do happen to find some female customers really attractive that doesn't mean you're going to be weird about it and act on that attraction. Thoughts are not actions/behaviours. Also I will point out that straight women aren't inherently incapable of being horrible towards other women; while they may not be attracted to women in the way you are, straight women can still do or say things that could make female customers feel deeply uncomfortable or upset, by making derogatory comments about something like their weight or appearance for example. Being queer doesn't make you working in this role 'wrong' and other women being straight doesn't automatically make them really great salespeople who can do no wrong towards customers.

I think maybe if this is an issue which is genuinely making you really uncomfortable then perhaps you need to discuss that with your employer because I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be uncomfortable with a situation like this whether it's for reasons like yours or religious reasons or something else and if it's something you're really not comfortable with then perhaps there may be some way around that like maybe moving into a different role or something. But I do feel like that's not actually necessary and you're probably just overthinking this a lot when this is something that's probably not really a big deal to most of the people you will come into contact with and probably still wouldn't be even if you went round wearing a big badge announcing you're a lesbian to everyone you come into contact with. No it wouldn't be appropriate to start ogling a customer or making really personal comments about their appearance or sexual comments or anything like that but you haven't done that. Those are actions, not thoughts; they are things you have control over and because you know doing things like that would be wrong even if you did find a customer 'hot' you would choose not to do those.

All you have done is what was appropriate for the job and context you were in, giving advice primarily about the products you're selling because the customer asked for that. The customer was comfortable with this and happy with the service you provided. You actually said it yourself, you weren't a creep; the customer was happy. It's all fine. It really sounds like you did well here and you have nothing to worry about. Also seeing underwear, while yes it's a thing that can be very personal and intimate, realistically it's not that big of a deal because however much lingerie may be linked to sex, realistically it's just pieces of clothing, they're not sexual items in themselves; what makes lingerie 'sexy' is the context it's put in. Just selling lingerie in a clothes shop; even commenting when asked on which size or style fits a person better, that's just business, not something sexual, regardless of the sexual orientation of everyone concerned.

Also, remember that not every customer is actually going to be a straight woman. I think a lot of your worry over this is perhaps you feeling as if you're completely alone in this, the only queer person in the entire store, maybe even in the entire area. Meanwhile you're probably thinking every single co-worker and every single customer you'll come into contact with will be straight, and that is very very unlikely to be true. Being queer may still be the minority but it's still very common. Some of these customers you encounter will probably be lesbians or bi or some other variety of queer themselves and probably some of your co-workers are too and even if you never actually find out who is queer, that doesn't mean you're totally alone and isolated; some of those people you encounter probably do totally understand you and your fears far more than you realise.

Anyway as this seems to be something that's quite a new experience to you, interacting with customers in this particular way, hopefully it will seem like less of a big issue if it happens again (which it may not if you're going to be moving to the cash register soon anyway). Perhaps to some degree it's simply that the situation is very new to you that's made you so stressed about it so the longer you work in this job the less stressed you'll be by it. Try not to overthink it so much though because I promise you, just being queer doesn't make you (or anyone) predatory or 'wrong' for this type of job.

You said to send in an ask if we were curious about your FAHC sexuality headcanons and I'm never not curious, so hit me with it!

Omg yes, thank you for asking lmao. They're pretty basic, but:

Geoff: I hc him as straight and demisexual. I just really get that vibe from him, plus I also identify as demi and idk many demisexual characters, so i was like, yes. Projection is fun and spoiler alert a lot of these are me projecting lol

Jack: Listen you can pry trans Jack out of my cold dead hands, I LIVE for that hc. She's a queen, no questions asked

Ryan: I also hc him as demisexual, but also bi. Just like Geoff, I get that vibe from him

Gavin: this poor boi is the definition a disaster bisexual, when he found out he was attracted to men as well as women he lost his mind, theres just so many people to love!! How will he ever find the time (is it obvious I project onto him hard? Lol)

Michael: Yet another bi, but a bit less of a disaster lol. I feel like it took him the longest to come to terms with his sexuality, but when he did, well. Let's just say this boy is proud. He hates drawing attention to it though. "I like dudes, get over it, got a problem then fuck you bud"

Jeremy: 5 feet and 4 inches of Pansexual pride babeyyy, he'll love you no matter what, and he has plenty of love to go around

Lindsay: ik the point of a hc is to like, add something to a character, but I just think she's already perfect as the bisexual queen we know and love today

Matt: I admit I haven't thought about it much, but like? I also really like the idea of Matt being pan. Idk why. I really don't. I feel like he just, likes people?? Humans. They're great and he loves them

Trevor: in case you didn't see a previous ask I did, I hc him as bi as well! This hc came from a friend I have who loves Trevor and literally said that his GTA character gives him hella bi vibes. So yeah. Trevor is bi bc my friend is thirsty. Wasnt a fan originally but it's really grown on me and now I love it

Alfredo: gay asf. Love wins

Fiona: at first I wanted to keep her as bi as well just like Linds, but I love the idea of lesbian!FAHC!Fiona. I also hc her as smooth asf so I imagine her being a total lady killer (sometimes literally)

Aaand there we go! Ik they're a bit basic and probably what you'd expect, but these are just the things I'm comfortable with. (I've considered making pride icons using these hc but I haven't decided yet, plus art is hard lol)

[unibrowzz]

Anyways that earlier rant was to say that Roi is highly underrated and that these so-called SJW in this fandom only care about defending racists/sexists/transphobics attacks when it's against a good looking (often Italian) guy (Sorry my rant might not be clear, but I'm just tired by this fandom ok)

Y'know anon, I was thinking about this whole rant earlier (I’ll post the first half after this so people can read these two halves in order.)

And I gotta say… I kind of agree? Roi isn’t getting NEARLY as much attention as I would’ve expected it to get (though I hear it’s wild over on twitter, so much so that a few French friends of mine have blocked anything associated with it so they’re not flooded with bullshit)

Now I’m not sure WHY the fandom on tumblr (and in general) has decided to rally around Alessandro Mahmood and NOT Bilal but I have a few theories…

1) Mahmood is Italy’s entry. Italy is a country who generally tend to pick up a lot of fan-love an attention for some reason, whether it be because of their 12 year absence or the fact they generally send good songs is beyond me, but fans going wild for Italy’s entry is something I’ve been seeing for a while now, ESPECIALLY since they’ve had two big favourites in a row. So in that sense, Mahmood being a favourite is… kind of expected since Italy will usually end up a fan favourite one way or another.

2) Fans prefer Mahmood’s song. As someone who watched DE, I can say that Roi received… a fair bit of backlash on the Discord server. Could be because people had other favourites. Could be because they thought it was overhyped since it's a pop song. Could be because they thought it was SJW bait. I don’t know. But there was a lot of harrumphing that night, a lot of “I hope he comes last” and “France is cancelled” and “bottom five for France”. Mahmood on the other hand has received nothing but support, which is interesting. Not sure why, I would’ve thought a rap song would’ve sunk, but hey what do I know.

There are a few more factors in this I could touch on like Soldi having a more original message than Roi (which isn’t to say Roi is unoriginal, but this is Eurovision after all and openly gay contestants singing about their experiences is… nothing new), but a song about your parents constantly borrowing money from you and leaving you short on cash is a FAR more interesting idea for song, and one I feel a LOT of people can relate to. Another is vocals and performance, since I’ll be the first to admit that Bilal’s vocals aren’t tremendous, and though I HAVEN’T seen Mahmood’s live performance I can guess he was better live since he won the jury vote.

Funny how the fans who say Mahmood should represent Italy because he won Sanremo’s jury vote are the kind of people who say Eurovision’s juries should be abolished when they inevitably spam vote Sweden and Australia on the night 🤔

3) Mahmood is more attractive (?) Now this opens up a whole new can of worms since I’ve chatised and criticised people who say Italy is only popular because they send attractive men, but it IS kind of suspicious that a lot of posts about Soldi are focussed more on Mahmood’s appearance/race/sexuality than anything else. It could just be because he’s older, like you said, and Bilal is simply too young for them so find attractive without it being creepy (he’s like what? 18? 19? Idk) Plus Bilal DOES kind of look like a soccer mom so there’s that.

In terms of defending them against backlash… you’re right, I really haven’t seen much defending of Bilal, or at least not as much as I’d expect from tumblr. Not sure if people are just unaware of the severity of what was posted about him (seriously I’ve seen political strips of him being guillotined, it’s nasty stuff) or if it’s because all the articles are in French but… I don’t know. Tumblr is just insanely picky when it comes to who it wants to white-night and who it wants to ignore.

Anyways, those are just my thoughts, feel free to add your two cents to the fountain.

[venom-s]

1) Well my whole life I was convinced I'm straight but lately I've been doubting that. I think I might be bi but I'm not sure if I'm really attracted to girls or it's just "oh damn she's so pretty i wanna be like her" or maybe (in case of celebrities) I just admire them? Idk I feel like I'm lying/doing it for attention (fckn impostor syndrome). My friend told me how a girl ground against her and she felt nothing so she knew she's straight. I've never even kissed a girl and I'm afraid to try

2) afraid to try anything because what if it'll be the same with me. It will feel like I've been lying all this time. Plus I'm in college now and it feels like I'm late because everyone's got everything figured out and I'm not even sure who I wanna kiss

I think it’s difficult to give advice because everyone’s experience discovering their sexuality is different, but here are my thoughts for you:

Firstly, don’t feel like you have to have everything figured out in college. Many bi and gay people don’t realize their sexuality until a later age (late bloomers), much later than your average college student. You hear stories all the time from gay men and lesbians particularly who forced themselves into straight relationships and didn’t realize until their 30s, 40s, 50s, after they’ve been married and had kids that they’re gay. Of course, this isn’t your particular situation, but my point still stands and works for bisexual people too. You’re definitely NOT late.

That being said, there’s definitely a difference between “I want to be her” and “I want to be with her.” haha. Personally, what made me realize I was gay was that when I tried to imagine my future, I couldn’t imagine it with a man. I never really had crushes on the boys around me in school. I could still tell if a guy is attractive (like damn look at Yuzuru Hanyu) but I never was attracted TO them.

I also think it’s important to not hold on too much to labels. When I first started questioning my sexuality, I told people I was bi. Mostly because I couldn’t accept fully that I was just gay. This was all when I was about 14, and I never had experience. My point with this is that it’s okay to re-label yourself if you find out that you were wrong the first time. If you thought you were bi, but then it turns out you’re straight, there’s nothing wrong with that. You were discovering who you are.

I’d suggest, if you’re not open to experimenting (fun fact: people kept saying to me, “How do you know you’re a lesbian if you’ve never been with a man?” Tried that, and I really should’ve stuck with my gut feeling because while we were friends, it DEFINITELY wasn’t for me. haha), to just try to get to know people. If you feel like you’re starting to like them, go from there. Labels don’t matter that much.

But where do you see yourself in 20 years? Can you see yourself being happy in a relationship with a woman? You said you thought you were straight until now, so I’m assuming you’re certain of your attraction to men since you’re only questioning a potential attraction to women.

Also, if you are open to experimenting: It’s okay if it doesn’t work out. Just don’t lead the person on. Nothing annoys me more than when a girl comes on to me just because she wants to fulfill her curiosity or already has a boyfriend/girlfriend or something (happens a lot.) If you do experiment and find out you aren’t bi after all, that’s okay.
