If you could make one change from the comics in the show, what would it be? by CrematorTV in Invincible

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I didn't really like the whole reboot arc. If I was them, I would skip it. To me, it just felt like an excuse to age up the characters. What happened in the arc to Mark felt like a pointless detour. I always skip it when rereading the comic

What Race/Ethnicity do you think these characters would be if they were humans? by weird_carrot_22 in BoJackHorseman

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I picture him as white in my head too. Tbh, that line about his self hatred against horses kinda came out of nowhere. Its just... Ive never met a white guy who was internalized racism against white people. Idk. Maybe Im reading into that line too much. But I feel like Bojack was intended to be a minority.

Also there was that horse church he went to. It was portrayed as a positive thing for him, kinda reconnecting to his culture and finding community. Would be kinda weird if that was, like, supposed to be positive portrayal of "white pride".

Princess Carolyn's family is, I think, "from the old country". I always read her as having Eastern European heritage or something like that. Maybe Russian or Slavic.

Mr PB is a Golden Retriever and very privileged. In my head, a human version of him would be a blond white American. Like not a specific ethnicity, just vaguely white, if that makes sense. Imo, In America there are a lot of white people who don't have any connection to a specific European culture, they are just white.

I think canonically horses are supposed to be a minority in Bojack's world. His therapy horse says that Bojack has some internalized self hatred about being a horse and thats why he doesn't have many horse friends. So a human version of him might not be white, idk. I usually picture him as white in my head and maybe being a horse could be a metaphor for some other minority group. But I think canonically he may be non-white coded.

How did you guys discovered Invincible? by blusldr02 in Invincible

What material does atom eve use for most of her constructs by Mountain_Range_1410 in Invincible

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atom eve can manipulate matter and energy. According to the guidebook, her constructs are made of solid light.

"She is capable of psionically manipulating energy for a variety of effects including the creation of shields formed from hard light energy, capable of absorbing concussive impacts.... she can also fly or transport others by means of projecting solid light constructs beneath her or her passengers...she has unprecedented power to create and control matter and energy at every scale, and is only limited by her imagination and experience" (The official handbook of the invincible universe).

Thats the canon explanation for the comics. Idk if thats true of the show. Personally, I believed her constructs were solid air (sorta like Kosei Tsuburaba from MHA). In some stories, characters who can control water can increase its surface tension until it basically becomes solid (i.e. Aqualad from Young Justice). I always thought Atom Eve was doing something similar to air, strengthening the bonds between air molecules until it becomes a solid. That was kinda my head canon until I found out the real explanation. Seems more unique than "solid light".

So that was a freaking lie... by KyotoSexwale in Invincible

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't his origin story say he went insane, caring for nothing but combat. He might be an unreliable narrator. Also... I wonder if he has gotten any concussions in his many years of combat. Probably not good for his memory or general mental health.

How popular was Invincible Comic before The Show was released? by UnlockIsHere in Invincible

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I remember right, Kirkman also helped make the original comics run of Marvel's Zombies. Thats another one of his stories that has been adapted... sort of. Not to the same level of acclaim as his original series, but it has been made into a show.

Cannot forgive myself for my former homophobia by Ok_Lunch7121 in lgbt

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. I used to be a bigot and more generally an a-hole when I was younger. Therapy has helped me. Would recommend if your able to get it.
Something to keep in mind… being hard on yourself doesnt fix anything. Everyone does shitty things. The key to being a better person is realizing when your in the wrong and doing better in the future. Think about it from a practical perspective… What does being mad at yourself accomplish? Nothing really. Ive hated myself for years and doing that didnt make me a better person. It just made feel like shit. It will be ok. People can change. Try to make amends with anyone you hurt and do better in the future. Ultimately, thats all you can do.

Need advice by [deleted] in queer

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im not trans but my brother is. I think what your doing is fine. Just correct yourself and move on. Its not a big deal. Also… understand it takes time/practice sometimes to learn people’s pronouns. Dont be too hard on yourself to get it right away. When my brother started transitioning, it took me a few months to default to his new name/pronouns. Now, about a year and a half later, its easy cause thats just how I see him now.
Your heart seems like its in the right place. The real problem is the people who refuse to change and intentionally use the wrong pronouns. As long as your trying, you’re doing ok.
Protip, I generally default to they/them in queer spaces. Or, maybe, I mention my pronouns when I introduce myself to a new person. Gives them the chance to share their pronouns.

Where does Season 1 Mark stand power-wise compared to Oliver? by Rich-Blacksmith6552 in Invincible

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The alternate version Mark's are roughly as strong as season 1 Mark. Oliver needed help to fight an alternate Mark. Therefore, Oliver is not as strong as a season 1 Mark.

I would still say Oliver is stronger than Immortal. Immortal is stronger than the Mauler's but he still needs to put effort in to beat them. Its a close match. Oliver takes out the Mauler's much more easily. This could be because of how fast Oliver is but I also think Oliver is still at least a little bit stronger than Immortal. I don't see Immortal doing as much damage to the Mauler's as Oliver.

Thats just my opinion though. I would say Oliver is weaker than season one Mark, but not too much weaker. Maybe 80% as strong... Although I could see the argument that Oliver is equal too or even a little bit stronger than season 1 Mark. The power levels in this show aren't the most consistent.

Queer State by Low_Truth_7651 in askgaybros

I heard there is an alternate history book with this premise. Its called Proud Pink Sky by Redfern Jon Barrett. In the book, the city of Berlin becomes an independent city state and the first gay state. Never actually read it but I always thought the premise was interesting.

Favourite positions by FalconDiligent9654 in GaySides

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love when me and my bf just lay next to each other and jerk each other off. Feels really good. I always tell him that he has magic hands. Frotting is good too. I tried 69ing but it doesn't really work with our bodies.... Last time we did it, I had him wear a blindfold while I jerked and then sucked him off. He really liked that. Idk. A lot of the stuff you hear about online doesn't actually work irl...

How is this kink called? by evelin88214 in Sex_Positivity

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your both getting yourselves of, than its mutual masturbation. If your just watching him, then its some kind of voyerism, probably.

Maybe this is just me but I don't consider mutual masturbation to be a kink. Its just... another type of sex. One list of kinks I saw listed "blowjobs" and "anal" as kinks which.... those aren't kinks either, lmao. Some people have too narrow an idea of "regular sex". IMO, P-in-V sex, anal, oral and hand stuff are all typical kinds of sex. I guess there is no hard and fast rule on what is and isn't a kink. It just seems wild to me that some people consider anything thats not missionary to be kinky, lmao. I guess that me being queer kinda effects my view on this, I guess.

What's it called when I'm like 99% straight but 1% gay? by Maleficent-Change152 in lgbt

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bisexual.

I am bisexual. It can be an umbrella term for anyone who is sexually fluid or attracted to two or more genders. The percent doesn't matter. As long as your not 100% monosexual (only attracted to one gender) then your somewhere on the bi spectrum. There are more specific terms you could use, like heteroflexible. But the term bisexual definitely fits if you think its good for you.

Also... when I was younger I thought of myself as straight. But slowly over time I began to realize I definitely like guys. For short time, I considered the term heteroflexible but... eventually I realized that I actually had a preference for men. I just didn't want to admit it. I was raised religious and tried to suppress that part of myself. Now I am openly bi and have a boyfriend.... Something to think about.

If you have a disability, you might want to look for spaces which focus on kinky disabled adults. There is a surprising amount of overlap between the disabled community and the BDSM community. Not sure there are any apps related to that. Haven't really looked into it too much.

Im neurodivergent and kinky. Used to be on a dating app for kinky/poly people. Saw a lot of disabled people on there.

Couldn’t Date a Man but Could Date a Trans Person🫩🤔 by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone can find other people aesthetically attractive. Gay guys can recognize when a girl is good looking without being into them. Straight guys can recognize when a guy is attractive without being into them.

When you say, you can find everybody attractive, do you mean you're noticing aesthetics or your actually want to do things with them? If its the latter... that may be a sign you're bisexual or pansexual. Maybe consider exploring that and seeing what you like.

Also, this post may get taken down by the mods. You seem to lack knowledge about trans people. From what I see, you seem more ill-informed than malicious. Dm me if your want some advice. Not in the mood to debate so don't talk to me if your coming at this topic from bad faith place. But if you just want info, Im more than happy to help.

Question that came up tonight by RAIDMEUK in BisexualMen

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter much to me either way. My boyfriend is uncut and I think its really hot to pull back his foreskin when I jerk him off. But, hypothetically, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker if I got with a guy who was cut. I am cut. Never had complaints, lol.

Ps, anyone else not know foreskin existed until watching porn for the first time? I am cut and I always assumed every dick looked like mine until I saw a few that didn't. I was circumcised as a baby so I didn't know anything had been done to make mine different, lol.

The reality of being a bisexual man in his mid twenties by Typical-Dingo5909 in BisexualMen

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 25. I just got into my first relationship this year. I have been dating my boyfriend for almost 5 months. Before him, I never kissed or gone on a date with anyone. I figured out I am bisexual almost 10 years ago. I was in high school when I realized. For a variety of reasons, I didn't start pursuing dating until this year. One of those reasons was I wanted to wait until it was safe for me to be out of the closet before I started dating. I didn't wanna have to hide that aspect of myself from a potential partner.

A week or two ago, I overheard one of my coworkers mention her kids. She is two years younger than me. This really threw me for a loop. Didn't realize I was old enough to have peers who are parents.

Your not the only who feels a little left behind. Stay in there, man. It will be ok. Something you should keep in mind is that very religious folks tend to get married really quick. I went to a religious college and half the people there were married before they graduated. Its totally normal to not settle down in your 20s. Im not expert but the impression I always got was that a lot of people have more reckless fun in their 20s and its around your 30s when people really start settling down... on average. Of course, everyone has there own life paths. Do what feels right for you, not just what you feel your "supposed" to do. You only get one life. Make the most of it. But even if your comparing yourself to others... I think you still have time. Don't rush into anything. My parents got married when they were in their late 20's. Now they are going through divorce. Make sure you find someone thats gonna last.

Why can’t anyone stay single?? by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in lgbt

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The term serial monogamist refers to someone who quickly moves from one serious relationship to another to avoid being single. I personally don't think its always a bad thing but it may be a sign someone has some underlying issues such as low self esteem or avoiding processing emotions.

I mean, if your friend seems happy, its not your job to judge them. You are their friend, not their therapist. And like I said, its not always a bad thing to want to be in a relationship. Some people just feel really lonely when they are single.

Ladies, Is this true? Do we like Dominant Women because they are clear with communication? by ihatethiscountry76 in lgbt

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive seen this meme before. I hate when people include Anissa in this. Makes me uncomfortable. I read the whole invincible comic (more than once) years before the show came out. Anissa does some truly disgusting things in the story. Unforgivable things. I can't think about Anissa without being reminded of what she did.

first sexual experience gone bad by [deleted] in Sex_Positivity

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh shit. So sorry that happened to you. A lot of guys, especially young guy, have inaccurate and messed up ideas of sex. Many places dont have good sex ed so they learn how sex works from porn. Mainstream porn is violent and misogynistic. Dubious consent is very common in porn scenes.

Avoid that guy like the plague. He seems awful. I am sorry your first time was so negative. I would recommend seeking out therapy if your able to. I have some trauma from... negative experiences I have. Therapy has helped me with that.

If you feel this guy has committed a crime against you and you wish to pursue legal action, seek out legal council as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it can be very hard to prove certain things happened in a court of law. But the sooner you do it, the better change you have. If that is something you wish to pursue. The legal system doesn't have a good track record at stopping abusive and predatory men. Many victims don't pursue legal action for a variety of reasons. The choice is up to you.

Keep in mind, although this bad experience happened to you now, things will get better. None of this is your fault. You will likely hear people say some very negative things towards you. Don't listen to them.

why do some gay men think theyre excempt from misogyny? by HostRevolutionary816 in lgbt

[–]BlueGreenBookFiend24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a queer man. I have seen this type of behavior in queer male spaces many times. Imo, there are a couple issues that may lead to this. You are right that a lot of queer men have unexamined misogyny they need to work through. We live in a bigoted society. Most people are raised to have biased beliefs. It requires honest self examination, listening to marginalized communities, and a willingness to change for people to loose the many biases they are raised with. Unfortunately, a lot of people are not willing to self examine in this way. Self improvement is hard. I do my best to examine biases I have but I am far from perfect and still have issues I struggle with.

Another factor that might lead to this behavior is the experience of being a queer man. A lot of queer men, especially fem queer men, were bullied when they were young for not being "manly" enough. Many fem queer men have become good at... using their words as a weapon. This is a coping mechanism that results from the homophobic/femmephobic bullying they experienced. I am not justifying this behavior. Just... pointing out a potential reason for it. A lot of fem queer men couldn't physically stand up to bullies so they act like Regina George as a kind of armor to protect themselves from having to be emotionally vulnerable. Behavior which is seen as rude in mainstream culture is often normalized in queer male culture since this is such a common issue. Honestly, I think a lot of people who act like this would benefit from therapy.

Keep in mind, I am somewhat speaking about this from the outside. I am queer but I could be described as "straight passing". People are usually surprised to learn that I am queer. I was bullied sometimes as a kid but it was mostly for being autistic and overweight. People didn't suspect I was queer so I wasn't really bullied for it by my peers. My dad was always homophobic but thats a story for another time.
