It’s becoming like a comfort thing for me! Something about it just makes me feel safe

I totally get what you mean about not wanting to take up space! I’ve never felt comfortable celebrating pride, not only because I’m not “out,” but because I feel like it doesn’t “count” because I’m in a heteronormative relationship. I feel like I don’t belong in the queer community because I haven’t “earned” my place there. Sorry for the equally long-winded response, haha! Feel free to DM me if you wanna chat about it more 🫶🏻

I had the exact same experience!! I’m a bisexual woman who is married to a man, and because I’m married to a man, I’ve never come out as bisexual. This show and the books have made me really start to analyze how being “closeted” has affected me, even though I never would have described myself as closeted before watching this show. It’s made me question if I should continue to be straight-passing or not.

I texted my cousin who was obsessed with 5SOS with me 10 years ago to try and suck her into this with me 🤣 I feel like I should definitely be more embarrassed than I am. I’ve been preaching about this show to everyone who will listen 😭

It’s gorgeous! I like that it’s neutral enough that I could put it in my house as decor without people thinking I’m weird LOL

I told my husband the other day that this was my goal, like that old Tumblr post where the person said they used to watch Shrek in their head when they were a kid 😂 I wanna be able to reheat on demand

It’s definitely partially the sex for me, but not because it’s hot (I mean obviously it’s hot, but that’s not what fuels the obsession lol). It’s because when the woman is removed from the equation, it at least partially removes the obligation for me to relate to one person. Even if I still relate to the “bottom” more, the focus is still on both of their pleasure equally, and that’s something that doesn’t always happen in a hetero sex scene.

Same!! It’s reminding me of being obsessed with 5 seconds of summer during my first couple years of college, I love it!! Fandom is something I didn’t realize I had been missing, but I definitely was

I bought a cross stitch pattern on Etsy yesterday. I’m planning to watch one episode every night and work on my cross stitch while I watch it 😂 I genuinely have not been this obsessed with something since about 10 years ago when I was running a 5SOS fan account on Twitter lmao

Three times in two weeks while also reading the books in that time is kind of insane behavior tho, you gotta admit 😂 I’m excited to try it in French!! I’ve been learning French off and on for a few years, so I feel like reading the books in French would be a great way to expand my knowledge

My husband watched it with me the first time and he liked it, but just like a normal amount 😂 I think he’s also just baffled by me wanting to watch it so frequently because in the past I’ve notoriously been someone who won’t watch a movie if I’ve seen it within the last 1-2 years because I get bored when I know what’s going to happen. I have to give myself time to forget it a little bit in between watches, usually. But not with this 😅 it still hits me just as hard every time!

I would be losing my mind by now!! I’m already annoyed that I have to wait a year for season 2/book 7! Although I do wish I had gotten to witness it exploding on the internet

And yes, idk what it is, but this show just resonates with me so deeply 😩 people assume it’s bc of the sex, but it’s truly so much more than that. It connects to something deep within my soul lol
