Damnit! You cheated!
I vaguely remember hearing something like that a while back. I kinda stepped away from the big social media sites, thereās so much opinion and conjecture and he said she said on there that it kinda bunmed me for a while.
stuff with abuse or trauma is always a prickly topic for lack of better word. But with the actual context it does come together quite nicely. Husk is just acknowledging that the two of them are in a rut and share that type of circumstance between them.
The thing I love was that Husk wasnāt trying to dress up his language like a salad, he was honest and true with Angel, not using the opportunity to lecture them or be their armchair psychologist (which is what so many people do and itās, argh!! Lol) Nah, he was just there for Angel, to acknowledge that their life is hard right now but theyāre in it together.
Thatās what makes Husk a real one.
Makes me think, thoughā¦ If him being that real with Alastor got him all uppity and defensive, I wonder what he could be hiding.

I donāt go to Twitter unless its to check on an animator I like or to see when Maximilian Dood is going live / talking about FF7. That is it.
Tumblr with certain tags flagged so they cover stuff up from haters? Inner peace. ^w^
And yeah Husk just telling Angel heās not alone in his own way. That just grabbed my heart and squeezed it.
Even just the animation for their dancing. You know how Val controls Angels dancing in Poison yeah? When Angel first stands up and Husk just gently holds his hands to guide him into a dance before letting his hands go. The difference was just so sweet. Onwards you see Husk waits for Angel to offer his hand before he can grab it to hoist him back up for the finale. Just. AHHHHHHH. Its so freaking sweet!

Ok, you got me. I am straight. Iām not sure what that is called in this new fangled talk. No offense.
I love this thread because there are a lot of good people here. They helped me understand a problem I was having that had nothing to do with LGBTQ+, but many of you were very open to me talking about my issue. Anxiety isnāt a mental illness that is localized to one person. I didnāt know who to turn to. Itās hard to talk to people irl. I came here and many of you opened up and gave me a lot of good advice. So, I love this thread and the people in it.

Anxiety is really common, and I am glad you came here to talk about it. Fun fact: according to the census, āabout 35% of non-LGBT respondents ages 18 to 29 reported symptoms of anxiety, compared with 61% of LGBT respondents in this age group.ā
Straight is still straight lol no need to worry about that

I know that some people have problems with ācoming outā and it creates anxiety. I donāt think that should ever be an issue, but I knew it was something some of you may have had problems with anxiety. I donāt understand it to this day. I only understand what it does to me in situations.
My daughter recently came to me and told my wife and I that she is bi. You know what I did? I hugged her and thanked her for trusting us enough to tell us. I love my daughter no matter what. That is the way it should always be.
Thank you to everyone that helped me. I donāt know where my anxiety comes from. I think it was masked heavily by my Epilepsy meds and when I was taken off of them, it came to the surface and has created issues I thought I never would have to deal with. Itās horrible.

I didnāt have a coming out anxiety phase honestly. To me it is what it is. Iām just too aware that some people will never accept these things. I do tend to feel some sadness that I can never fully enjoy my family relationships because people still dehumanize and judge LGBTQ+ A LOT. Iāve heard relatives say itād be better for them to be offād etcā¦ and Itās kinda wild to look at all the terrible things Iāve seen some relatives do (e.g. adultery, abusing their kids etcā¦) but then being gay would cause the most issues lmao?
Like Iām a bit stubborn and I judge people by how they treat others instead of what they tell me. And these are the same people who were okay with me getting beaten up so that I become more of a āmanā, gave no apology, and keep pressuring me to get married as if itās okay for me to ruin a womanās life for acceptance? So Iām like na thatās not going to work for me. Iāll just keep my personal life to the people I allow in my circle, and to them I give a very censored and business-like presence.
My perspective is Iām just gonno live my life, do my duty, and thatās it. Of course I have appreciation for my family system in terms of the amount of work my parents have done and such, but I donāt have to put 100% myself in. If they want to put in the effort to truly know and connect with me, they know how to. It might seem a bit cold, but to me itās like I can meet my emotional needs through myself and my close friends. So in a way I feel like itās more of their loss.

Iām so sorry that you are going through that. When I was young, I could understand why āpeopleā had an issue. It wasnāt socially accepted yet and to be honest I really didnāt know anyone who was LGBTQ+. Maybe I did, but as I mentioned, it wasnāt socially acceptable, and they kept to themselves.
Itās now 2024, not 1924. People should be able to be who they are without persecution. I judge based on character and heart. It may be a shock to a few, but I am also a practicing Christian. I believe Jesus wanted us to live this way and accept people for who they are. In his teachings, he wanted us to love and respect everyone, regardless of who or what they believed. Iām not trying to preach and Iām hoping Iām not coming across that way. This is who I am and how I feel.
You will always have my honest respect and love, because I love everyone. I havenāt always been this way. I could be very brash and inconsiderate. Since I found God and that spark started in me, which has turned into a flame, I have changed in so many ways. I have been told itās the Holy Spirit. Whatever it is, I love it and I will never change. So even though you donāt know me, you will always have a friend.

Tbh Iām fine. I feel like Iāve made peace with it and the way I see it is like itās an emotional blockage that can amount to anything. Itās just this is how mine manifested, but Iām sure we all have seen people being disconnected and estranged for any number of reasons. To me itās like I accept what it is, and I donāt want to spend my time agonizing over something. Thereās bills to pay, food to eat, and a bunch of shows and games to watch and play oop

Sometimes parts or all of our real families can be very unsupportive (my parents are good, my sister is absolutely amazing; however, some of my extended family are very anti-LGBTQIA+ and are not afraid to throw hate-speech right in your face if you interact with themā¦). So, sometimes we may have to find others to build a non-related family. A famiily made of those who actually care about us and accept us as our true-selves. Many times those pseudo-familial bonds are stronger and more fulfilling anywaysā¦
I should be asleep: I went to bed an hour ago, but am still up (I did take a nearly 3-hour nap at like 7PM (EDT) because I had some allergy issues todayā¦so that probably isnāt helping on top of usual insomnia).
I just saw these posts and wanted to say I worry and care about, and love yaāll. I know some do not hold this kind of freely-given, storge-agape/fraternal/sororal/friendly love in high regard. Thatās okay, you donāt have to care about me for me to care about you. But it is how I am, how I always have been. I donāt have good advice on much of anything (and it can be difficult and take a long time for me to respond), but if anyone needs a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, or just needs to know someone caresā¦then know I love you, and you can talk to me if you need someone to hear you.
