LGBTQ+ Megathread & Lounge (Part 3)

I just wanted so say that I read your question, but I’m not able to answer the question. Maybe someone else can relate better than I can. Although I am attracted to these body parts, I am also attracted to the rest of the bodies they are attached to.

…Although I have certain trait preferences—height, build, etc—that I find more attractive, I’m attracted to many kinds of body type regardless of gender or sex. I’m not attracted to everyone, just can be anyone. I don’t know how attraction works, so I don’t know what makes individuals have the attractions they do.

So, since I’ve always—at least since I’ve felt physical attraction—been attracted to a variety of parts, faces, and body types…yeah, I just personally don’t know how it is to have a more limited range of attraction. No hate from me to everyone else: I just simply have a hard time seeing from any physical/sexual and romantic attraction perspective that is not pansexual/panromantic. I can’t offer advice because I don’t understand how it feels to not be like I am.

So, yeah, maybe someone more knowledgeable can offer more insight.

Hmm I think let’s be mindful here cause we don’t want to violate any 18+ rules.

I think maybe it might help if I share how my best friend in school years ago told me he was attracted to another guy but he is straight and has already got married and has a son now. It was something he was confused about it for a while but he got over it pretty quickly as just something he felt for that person for a moment and nothing else.

I think the key thing is to not judge or torment yourself. It could very well be the case that you’re romantically straight and just have some curiosity that you don’t have to force yourself to act on. Personally I think things like common values, life goals, humor etc… are more important but that’s just me. These things are fluid, but what matters is how you want to define yourself.

Thanks Phara, especially for this. I was hoping my mom would at least be happy I’m going out. She knows how much I’ve struggled with anxiety and I feel like going out on my own has been a huge step forward for me. I think I’ve said it before but my nerve pain meds are def helping the anxiety aspect especially social and being less afraid to express who I am.

I’ve tried to argue with her from several angles. Like there are things I could be that are actually bad like a criminal. I’ve asked her why she’s on good terms with her gay cousin but can’t accept me and my siblings. I’ve tried to ask her why she can’t accept us when she’s always said we’re her greatest treasures in life. I don’t get any answers from her. I really don’t understand what’s going on in her mind. I think my next step will be to try to get her to come to a parent support group but we’ll see what happens.

We have best boy Graha, now officially best girl Wuk! I hadn’t connected with any of the female cast up to this point, after what, 14 years? I really dig Wuk’s character.

My step dad was more of a monster than a “step” father figure. Like, when he married my mum, things were alright at the start, but then he later showed his true colours, and the abuse me and my mum got from him when I was growing up… I’m glad my mum though divorced him in the end.

My mum is very supportive though, and always keeps encouraging me and my partner to push on and don’t let anything bring us down.

Abuse can be both hard to recognize and harder to escape from. I am happy your mom got out!

Fire away.

Oh wait others are already helping. Nevermind lol

My roommate and I had to stop and sit in silence after that. Constantly impressed with Simon Pegg and his range.

Didn’t help that we also had just finished this weeks Acolyte T.T

Simon got to sleep for many episodes. Woke up. Acted his SOUL out. Then died.

Just him getting his powers because “You looked through me like I wasn’t even there!!!”

He just reminded me of when a dog gets very old and sick. Being scared. Not wanting to be touched. Not knowing what is going on. And the owners are the Hughie in this situation.

But yeah it reminded me of when the Mom dies in Shaun of the Dead. Just how the funny comedy suddenly stops to let the moment breathe where we see her turn into a zombie.

I got this from it too. Dude was so spooked and freaked out, really hit home in that way. Honestly had not expected how human and real that felt when it was happening. Was already emotional with this season over Frenchy and Colin :sob:

I am glad that he was able to have powers since Pegg had tried out to be Wee Hughie before we was cast as the dad. The comic art of Hughie looks so much like Pegg it would have been awesome. Pegg is one of my favorite famous nerds!

Yeah. Although I’m curious now with compound v. Firecracker saying people don’t change ( Well for her she likes to think that because if Starlight actually changed, she’d have nothing to really hate anymore )

Hugh Sr got his powers then started to sorta regress back to when Hughie was a kid. Butcher gets V and starts to act more like his older self.

To me its like compound v targets something traumatic in someone. Or just a negative trait. And then basically goes “Hey. You know how you changed because of this messed up thing? What if. You could go back and undo all of that because you can stop the bad thing from happening ever again.”

You don’t really see this with a lot of the Supes because they had it injected into them as kids or infants. You inject it into an adult that has had way more life experience, stuff gets interesting.

Youtube comments missing the actual point of the Frenchie subplot this season are annoying me.

Just look at “If you were really sorry, you wouldn’t have kept doing it” and Homelanders “You’re sorry? Now? Why?”

Or even all the other attempts at apologies this season. But since Frenchie is bi, people are getting butthurt.

The show is basically reminding the audience “Hey yall. Frenchie did a lot of messed up things. You still want him to be happy with someone?”

Or complaints that characters regress a bit in their arc. Like. Duh. People do that all the time. There is a difference between actual character assassination and just “the characters are being realistic”

( Altho I do get the annoyance that Firecracker just easily gets to run away when she fights in that convention. But that can easily be chalked up to “The Boys are tired after a tough brawl” )
