❤💙 How I found out I'm Bisexual (STORYTIME)💙❤

Hi Guys! I hope you are doing well and I hope you are having a nice start to the month and a happy start to Pride Month!

Today I wanted to bring a storytime about how I discovered that I am bi, I hope you like it and without further ado let's start. To make this storytime a bit funny I added some memes and clips from stan twitter

Since I was a little boy I have always been attracted to girls, the truth is I used to spend more time with girls than with other boys (except for some friends), I also started to develop some crushes with some celebrities like Shakira, which I remember that When I was 4 years old and I saw the Waka Waka music video for the first time, I fell deeply in love with Shakira. And there was no change, until 4th grade or 3rd grade (I don't even remember haha, sorry xD)

Well let's say this happened in 3rd grade haha

I was 10 years old, I was a super friendly, affectionate and gentle boy (which I still am to this day haha). At that time I had a crush named Peach (let's call her that, since she and I are still friends haha), who is super cute, smart, friendly and above all, she liked Miraculous Ladybug and Five night At Freddy's! (I guess there's nothing more mid 2010s than those two things), and one day, a new guy came into the room.

And why lie to you guys?, THAT BOY WAS TOO CUTE!!, I mean he was like Dustin Broke (in ts4 but with some ts2 traits), but... he was the naughtiest boy in the class.

From there I did not stop looking at him and other boys, honestly I felt a little confused, although I also kept seeing the girls.

When I was in 4th grade I didn't really care if I liked boys or girls, the important thing is that I had friends. Although I am not going to deny that I did have several crushes in 4th grade (if I remember correctly there were 3 or 4 hahaha). and in 4th grade it was that my 3rd grade crush started talking to me, either to make very funny jokes, talk to me or just ask me questions, and I can't deny that I felt butterflies in my stomach when he talked to me haha.

Do you remember Peach? Well, I had a "date" with her (to see a movie in the cinema, I think it was the last one from Ice Age) and I also had butterflies in my stomach with her.

At that time I didn't know that I was bisexual, until one day, an Aunt came out of the closet which I found interesting and I asked her about LGBT+, and she explained to me very patiently (If this aunt is reading this blog, Thank you so much aunt, I love you so much, you are a total idol!!, We love you!!) and I also started to investigate more about the community.

Years passed and our story continues in 2018

2018 was my first year being here in Ecuador, all of the above happened in Venezuela (when I lived there), at that time I think I was entering 8th grade. I had a neighbor who, like me, was Venezuelan (I don't even get along with this guy now, I mean, we don't even talk to each other anymore because we lost contact and we don't see each other), the truth is he seemed super cute to me, great, We spent hours playing and having fun. Then he started to seem handsome to me, and then, I started to have a crush on him... But, my crush on him left because he was a bit of a narcissist.

Then in 2019, I had my last relationship with a girl. My ex-girlfriend at the time and I shared a lot of things in common, we both liked the same singer (Melanie Martinez) and things like that lol. But when I was walking down the street and I saw a boy who seemed very handsome to me, I looked at him.

And that's when I realized that I was bisexual.

The truth is, I feel more comfortable with my sexuality, instead of being confused about myself, I have learned more about my personality and my tastes. When I told a lifelong friend that I was bi, she laughed a little and told me: "Hey, I've known for a long time haha", to which I was confused and then she said: " It's just that you were too obvious, you were always blushing or shy."

And well, this has been my storytime, I hope you liked it! 😁💞💗

⚠️Chapter 5 spoilers⚠️ Chapter Recaps and Predictions for Future Dormitory Chapters.

Pardon me for being a little slow but I have just realized a trend? Aside from the fact that Twisted Wonderland seems to be a very “Screw society” game, the take-away of every Twisted Wonderland arc reflects the morals the of their respective Disney classic, except the villains are the ones experiencing it. 

Heartslabyul: 

Just like Alice in Wonderland, the first plot of the first Chapter centres around the idea that rules are not always meant to be followed. However, as I have mentioned in a previous post, many have theorized that the story of Alice in Wonderland is the journey of a child towards adulthood, during which they begin to realize their individual personalities. The Queen of Heart’s tyranny thus represents societal rules and expectations. In the first chapter, this is not illustrated by Riddle’s strictness. Instead, it is illustrated by the expectations and rules that Riddle’s mother has imposed on him. Riddle will then learn that not everything his mother said is correct, and will grow to have his own opinions. We even see him screwing up the mont-blanc. His mistake is very... um... him though. 

Savanaclaw:

Following the Heartslabyul arc is the Savanaclaw arc. Again, the plot is similar to that of The Lion King. Both Leona and Scar are the second-born, and the fact that their brothers have a son makes it impossible for them to become kings. This has lead to Leona’s somewhat inferiority complex. The lazy lion proceeds to come up with a plan to overthrow the more powerful Malleus in the Magift competition, but fails because of the Heartslabyul gang. No matter what he does, not everything goes according to plan. This is where “Hakuna Matata” becomes important. In the Lion King, it is taught to Simba, the protagonist, but in Twisted Wonderland, it has become a lesson that Leona has learnt. Life is not fair, but instead of choosing to dwell on that concept and suffer, you could choose to be happy instead. Despite not being able to become King, Leona is still very intelligent and very much capable, earning the respect of his dorm members and many more people. 

Octavinelle:

Fish arc covers the topic of bullying, which many of us have experienced. In this chapter, Azul strives to become more powerful as a result of bullying, and has thus grown to become a very talented mage. His collection of contracts is similar to both Ariel’s collection of human objects and Ursula’s collections of those who failed to pay their debt. All these collections are but material collections, and in Azul’s eyes, his collection is a measure of his worth, as seen from when he declares that he will be useless if Leona were to destroy the contracts. What both Ariel and Azul were missing was as a matter of fact not their material collection. Instead, it was love for Ariel, and friendship for Azul. Jade and Floyd gave him friendship, which he did not have as a victim of bullying, and I’m pretty sure that he realizes that both their presences are more valuable than mere material contracts. I am also certain that Jade and Floyd think so too, although they say otherwise. 

Scarabia:

Scarabia arc’s overblot goes to Jamil, you poor boy. Because of his position as the Asim family’s servant, he believes that as long as he is in the presence of Kalim, he will never be able to be who he really is. Aladdin also thinks that he cannot be with Jasmine if he isn’t royalty. However, we all know that Jamil has more to offer as an individual. He is intelligent and powerful, and will remain intelligent and powerful despite his position as a servant. Aladdin is loved by Jasmine despite being a non-royal. Scarabia’s chapter centres around the idea that an individual’s potential and worth is not defined or limited by their status or position, as Jamil has surely proven to us. 

Pomefiore:

The recent Pomefiore arc is also very relatable and nothing less than outstanding, highlighting the importance of “beauty” in more than one way. This chapter straight up tells us that ballet is not restricted to girls, and it has already earned my respect. What’s more outstanding is its emphasis of effort. Vil is shown to be frustrated because of being in Neige’s shadow. GIVE HIM THE LICENSE TO BE FRUSTRATED HE WORKED SO HARD! Despite his hard work, he is less popular than the cheery and pretty Neige. In the VDC, Neige’s cover of a children song grabbed more attention than the song he poured his sweat, blood and tears over. No one cares about the effort behind the scenes, and all the praise goes to the final product. In Snow White, the Evil Queen will never be the most beautiful, because she is ugly inside. This could apply to this chapter. Despite being more successful, Neige, unless stated otherwise, lacks the diligence and hard work that Vil has put into his craft.

Ignihyde:

All right folks this is where the predictions starts. The recurring theme of this game is conflict against society. From this, I will predict that Idia and Hercules will share a common theme. People call them monsters. Hercules is called a monster because of his inhuman strength, while Idia’s case will most likely be because of Ortho. Idia is undoubtedly a genius engineer, and since Ortho is a cyborg, there are chances that he was once a human but died, and is turned into a cyborg by his brother. Idia creating him from scratch is not likely because he already mentioned a “previous Ortho”. Because of this, Idia is feared by many people as well. However, if this theory were to be correct, it would mean that the story will follow the moral in Hercules that underlines the importance of staying true to oneself and that people will love you for who you are. Hercules definitely stayed true to himself, and in the end, instead of being labelled a monster, he became loved by many. I’m sure that it will be the same way with Idia, although I am not sure about the situation that will help incite this. 

From how he encouraged Riddle to break away from his mother’s rules in the first chapter,, it is highly possible that Ace would play a role in helping Idia express his mad scientist vibes. If Ace does not help Idia, he will probably still play a big role alongside Ortho, as they are both younger siblings. From ghost marriage, we can also see Ortho’s ability to call Ace out on his bullshit. Ace is a child full of lies, and his true personality may also not be what he displays every day. With Ortho’s advance “Your body sayin you lyin boy” technology, I think that we could finally see a change in our dumb ginger boy’s personality, as well as gain some juicy insight into the Trappola household. Epel is also a plausible factor, seeing that he has embraced his cute and wild side in Chapter 5. However, if the story were to follow the same pattern as in Chapter 3 with Jack and Octavinelle, Epel will most likely only help the main character, and Vil would help with the dorm leader in question. But we’ll see about that.

Diasomnia

Sleeping beauty is a story where love is a powerful force. In the dorm that is very family orientated, there is no doubt that love will be a common theme in this story arc. However, just like Pomefiore, the first year also has to play an important role in the story. Sebek, unlike waka sama, is probably mortal. Another theme in sleeping beauty is that growing up presents all sorts of existential crisis. I am pretty certain that Sebek’s existential crisis would come in the form of fey vs human. Power vs mortality. How will Malleus overblot then? Following the pattern, it would likely be because of a problem that contrasts to their first year. As Sebek gets to know the idiot combo, he will gain more friends, and Malleus might find his most loyal guard taken away from him, or it may come in the form of Sebek or Silver, or both, objecting him in some way. If both happen to be proven wrong, it is still likely that he will overblot because of something that involves his loneliness or lack of understanding of mortality. It could even be caused by seeing Sebek and Silver grow up, and suddenly be hit with the realization that they both may one day leave his side or pass away, and that the main character, who does not fear him at all, will also one day return to their world or die, leaving him behind once again. 

The conflict will probably then be resolved by the understanding that despite all this, he has friends. Lilia, Sebek, Silver, the main character, and perhaps even Ace and Deuce, and Idia and Ortho for good measure, are people precious to him, and it is important for him to treasure the time that he has with them.

That’s all for today! These are probably not accurate, and I’m sure that Yana Toboso is at least 10 dimensions away from me when playing chess, but it is fun to compare the storyline with their respective classic film. Either ways, only time will tell how the story progresses. So I’ll keep an eye out for any previews! Thank you for reading!

[conoscenze]

words & accents.

Considering every gal here comes from a different part of the globe, and even though most of them speak English, it doesn’t mean that their home places don’t show in their speech and / or in their pronunciation of something. This is a list regarding the accent (if any), the frequency, the presence of said accent… and anything else that might be of note.

salice.

Italian accent; sometimes it’s thick, sometimes it’s thin. It depends. It’s obvious with how she elongates the consonants sometimes and in how she doubles them in words which lack double consonants, and sometimes she purposefully accentuates “r”s and “s”s to make fun of how English-speaking people think that Italians speak. Professionally, she has a very good English pronunciation, although sometimes her Italian slips.

Native language pops up when she’s upset, or when she can’t find the right word in English. Very much swears in Italian when she’s fed up with a colleague (who doesn’t know the language) and can, at times, out of spite, end up speaking entirely in Italian to upset or tickle a person that’s irritating her. Very brief intermissions in Italian when she speaks with strangers (i.e.: “Today’s weather is… eh… come si dice “un casino”… cazzo. Um. It’s kinda bad, right?”).

Knows Croatian. Briefly. Enough to smooth talk you if you wish. Her mother taught her the strict necessary so to communicate properly with her now dead grandparents (aka her own parents), so she’s stuck with an extra language. It’s actually nice to talk further shit about someone and have them wonder what she’s on about.

When she speaks Italian, she has a strong Venetian accent and rhythm, inclusive of profanities and swearing. Very colorful in the latter thanks to her father’s creativity.

adona.

Italian accent, as Salice: except it’s visibly there, consistently, enough to make it obvious she’s a foreigner. She has difficulty in pronouncing “k”s (and thus “ch”s / hard “c”s in Italian) due to her Tuscan rhythm and dialect. Like Salice she loves accentuating consonants like “t” and “r”. Her English pronunciation isn’t terrible but her Italian is obvious enough to make the way she speaks pretty interesting.

Adona has a perfect mastery of English, despite the speaking, and if she ends up speaking Italian it’s rarely out of her control. When she does use her native tongue it’s on purpose, and she either does it to confuse her conversational partner or because she doesn’t feel like stirring her brain too much. She often directly skips some words in English and says them in Italian because she doesn’t want to waste time on trying to figure it out.

She loves to use Italian when giving people nicknames, most of the time. She really enjoys distorting someone’s name in something absolutely ridiculous.

Gets really angry when people don’t get an Italian name right. Stereotypes don’t affect her, but butchered pronunciations absolutely do.

When she speaks Italian, she has an evident Tuscan accent (now I’m not an expert but considering she’s from Lucca, she has terminologies that are typically from around there), which means she doesn’t pronounce hard “c”s at all and has a generally funny rhythm in her speech. Also interesting swearing—mostly consists of “boia” and “maremma [insert insulting adjective of choice here]”.

phoebe.

Very weak Russian accent (specifically from the Moscow / central Russia area). Considering her excellency in languages, most of the time her pronunciations are impeccable, though there are times in which she might slip—mostly on consonants. But as I said, it doesn’t happen often. When it does, she feels thoroughly embarrassed about it.

Considering the specific area she’s been born & raised in, Phoebe speaks Russian with an akanye inclination. Research informed that akanye is a language phenomenon in which there’s a vowel reduction; it means most vowels get replaced with “a” in the pronunciation, and a consonant addition. When she speaks her native language she does, in fact, substitute most vowels with “a”.

Rarely slips into actual Russian, but when she does it’s either because she’s in Russia or either because she feels like speaking it (reasons may vary). She has mostly perfect knowledge and restraint over her tongue—the only occasion in which she may erroneously talk in Russian may be when she’s tipsy, but it never happened, and it doubtly will happen in the future.

kaede.

In English, she has a somewhat evident Japanese accent, although she has a good pronunciation. She mostly has difficulty (like most Japanese) enunciating “l”s and sh / ch sounds, but otherwise, she’s pretty good.

Might slip into Japanese without acknowledging it. Despite her good knowledge on languages, she might still break into her mother tongue because of various reasons: her clinical forgetfulness, nervousness, and insecurity. She’s never once stepped out of Japan so she had little to no time to practice her actual grasp on foreign tongue, which means she is extremely anxious when testing it out—plus, as I mentioned, her memory conditions are also an obstacle. Her memory sometimes also fails her when it comes to Japanese, so go figure.

Has a Kanto accent, and it was very prominent once, although it is not so much as of now (not enough evident for me to have to write it out, so to speak). Kanto dialect consists in the lack of distinction between phonemes that are distinct in standard Japanese (i.e.: “shiohigari” → “shioshigari”, “Shinjuku” → “Shinjiku”, “shichi” → “hichi”). Most vocalic sounds are reduced to “e” (i.e.: “taihen da” → “teehen da”, “sugoi” → “sugee”), and since “r” sounds are associated vulgar connotations and insults, they’re replaced with “n”, meaning that “wakaranai” becomes “wakan’nee“ and “okaerinasai” becomes “okaen’nasai“. I know this is a bit to take in, but it’s important if she’s communicating with people that aren’t from the Kanto region, or from Tokyo in general. It dictates precisely where she’s from.

karmina.

Karmina possesses an anonymous Russian accent (as she’s not from any precise area) and has a mostly impeccable mastery on any language, meaning she never truly slips up in her “mother” language.

There’s not much to say about her because she possesses a multilingual ability which allows her to possess perfect knowledge on all languages in reading, listening, use and speaking—this means that as much as Russian is the language she’s grown up with, she’s as fluent in English like in French or in Greek.

Accents and dialects don’t apply to her. Like I said, anonymous accent. You can hear she’s from an Eastern European country but you can’t really tell exactly from where.

min-seo.

Korean accent, of course. She doesn’t have particular difficulty in pronouncing English words, however there might be times in which she fucks up because of her anxiety or her nervousness. Being dyslexic, she sometimes also ends up forming grammatically (structure-wise) incorrect sentences out of sheer confusion—this problem also happens in her mother tongue, of course.

She might slip into Korean only if very agitated or incapable of proper thinking and thus of translation from Korean to English. Probably will also pause and ramble in her mother tongue to remember words that are on the tip of her tongue.

She possesses, when speaking Korean, a Gyeonggi dialect, which means her manner of speaking is very laid back and informal (despite her antsy self). Postpositions ending with an “o” get often changed to “u” and the sentence final verbe “-yo” tends to become “-yeo”. The Gyeonggi dialect also adds “-nya?” at the end of questions (as funny as it may sound), and being born in a late generation, the pitch tends to go higher at the end of a sentence (this became common since the 1990′s).

Addresses “-unni” or “-oppa” whoever is older than her, even if just by a couple years—as much as she doesn’t care for people younger than her to do this in her regards, she feels like she has the duty to be courteous and polite, and thus addresses slightly older peers as such.

fujunko.

Her Japanese accent is evident but not enough to be made fun of. She mostly learned English because of the music she likes, which means she gained a somewhat decent pronunciation, but her emphasis on vowels and consonants is still there—much like Kaede, she has difficulty with “r”s and sh / ch sounds, but other than that, nothing else.

Completely aware of what language she speaks for the occasion. This means that if she talks Japanese with an English-speaking person, she’s doing it on purpose to destabilize them / confuse them. However there are times she talks Japanese to help herself remind of a word or an idiom she doesn’t quite remember.

Being born and raised mostly in Kyoto, she of course has an heavy Kansai dialect when speaking (a lot of Tokyo-born elders do in fact not really like this tendency of hers). Having the dialect a special rhythm pattern she’s easily recognizable, but since I don’t hate myself enough to want to determine exactly what pattern she possesses, I’ll be vague and simply list the differences that there are between standard Japanese and the Kansai dialect. While in standard vowel reduction is frequent, the Kansai dialect lacks it. “Desu” is not pronounced “des” but actually “desu”, for example; hiatuses are replaced by an “e” (same as the Tokyo dialect, best example is “sugoi” becoming “sugee”); short wovels in monosyllabic words are elongated (i.e.: “ki” → “kii”, “me” → “mee”), and long wovels are instead shortened (i.e.: “sou da” → “so ja / se ja”). They substitute “s” with “h” very often, meaning that “-san” becomes “-han”, “mahjo” becomes “masjo”, etcetera; “m” and “b” are often exchanged, consonants “z, d, r” are often confused with each other; and at last they often substitute “r” with “n” (i.e.: “nani siteru nen?” → “nani siten nen?”).

As I said earlier, this might sound stupid and complicated to point out, but it’s important if your muse is a Japanese native speaker! The dialects are all very much different from each other, and as research said, Kansai people are easy to detect simply because of the way they talk. Fujunko is perfectly identifiable because of how she speaks—every little bit of these listed details apply to her speech.

momoko.

When speaking English, Momoko is... passable. Her pronunciation is remarked by her Japanese accent (which always implies butchered “r”s and sh / ch sounds along with soft “z”s), and while she does know the language enough to substain a casual conversation, it’s very obvious that she hasn’t learned it at school, and that she is more or less self-taught in what she knows so far. This is mostly due to the fact that most of the websites she visits are in English: communication there is principally done via text, not speech.

Might easily slip into Japanese due to a myriad of reasons: she forgot the right word, she doesn’t know how to pronounce another, she’s nervous, and the list goes on. Momoko isn’t a conversationalist in general, let alone in a not-much-known language. She doesn’t have much control over switching from English to Japanese, but there are times in which she will change her language purposefully, either to spite or confuse the other person.

While conversing in Japanese, Momoko has a Kanto accent, much like Kaede. It isn’t super marked, but enough to make a person guess where she is from. Given her aggressive nature, her “r”s are much more marked and growly, and so are sounds like “p” and “t”.

marzanna.

Same case as Karmina: Marzanna’s origins can’t be pinpointed through observations on how she speaks, because she has a multilingual ability and an unspecified Eastern European accent. Some people have pointed out that she sounds a bit Polish, but in general her skill grants her perfect mastery on every modern tongue (including a few ancient ones).

This means she won’t slip in her “mother” language as she does not have a certain country of origin from the very start. If she changes language mid-conversation, it’s on purpose, with the main intention of concealing something or to tease her interlocutor.

Going by this logic, she has no accents or dialects to remark.

Perhaps the only odd thing that sometimes happens is when she erroneously uses in a phrase obsolete and archaic words that are no long part of the modern language she is speaking. A good example might be Japanese, like it could be Italian or English.

annaliese.

Annaliese is good at spoken English, but not excessively as to be good at handling casual conversation about anything. Her phrase structure might sometimes sound wonky and uncertain, since all she’s learned of the language is the very basics; all additional knowledge is all self-taught. She doesn’t regularly keep it up, however, since it isn’t all that important for her to know it. It’s rare for foreigners to step near the convent’s grounds.

Her German accent when conversing in English follows the three main stereotypical “rules”: almost every “w” is pronounced as “v”, sounds such as “b”, “d” and “g” are instead harsh “p”, “t”, and “k” (i.e.: “What's up, dog?” → “What's up, doc?”) and “sp”, “st”, “sk” become “ʃp”, “ʃt”, “ʃk” (with a SH sound instead of a plain S sound). A good extensive list on how it should sound like can be found here (x), but for simplicity you can keep in mind this info.

In German, Annaliese has a thick Central Thuringian accent, as she has been raised in Erfurt. In general, the Thuringian dialect is characterized by a rounding of the vowels, the weakening of consonants of Standard German (the lenition of the consonants “p”, “t” and “k”), a marked difference in the pronunciation of the “g” sound and a highly-idiosyncratic, melodic intonation of sentences. In many words, “b” is pronounced as “w”, “v” or “f” would be in Standard German (i.e.: “aber” (but) → “awer”).

Specifically present in the Central Thuringian are falling diphthongs (i.e.: “vater” → “voater”).
