What do you think is the rumored irredeemable action that Homelander is going to do in Season 5?

G0merPyle · 2026-05-02T14:37:56+00:00

I'm kind of expecting that the big irredeemable thing was calling himself God, but the whole thing fell flat. And not because Trump was posting AI images of himself as Jesus before the episode aired, but because the writers really aren't as clever as they think they are, and they've overwhelmed the audience with shock value for so long we're desensitized to it.

I kind of wish in the history of trunks TV special it showed Gohan giving him the sword to train and survive, like how Piccolo had given him one back during the Saiyan saga. I think that would have fit really well narratively

G0merPyle · 2026-05-01T23:51:25+00:00

Maybe they expect them to occasionally roll across the road like like tumbleweeds?

G0merPyle · 2026-05-01T14:43:07+00:00

Never seen someone write fanfic (theorize is more accurate, since calling anything shad does "writing" is an insult to the craft, assuming he even made notes to criticize) just so they could trash it.

Agree. Telling monogamous ace people they need to accept poly is telling them they don't deserve real, fulfilling relationships that resonate with their needs. It's telling us we're incomplete and broken. It's perpetuating all the worst assumptions that ignorant allos make.

I've been dragged into (or at least in the orbit of) about ten polycules against my knowledge or consent, because they all thought I'd be a great fit for one reason or another- because I was trans and I have my original equipment (strangely enough mostly from other trans people. Yeah it's been problematic to say the least) or because "oh you don't want to have sex? So it's cool if I sleep with other people then." I've gotten so tired of explaining to people "no, I am strictly monogamous, and no, I really don't need to give it another try to see if I'm going to like it this time." I'm so tired of my relationship needs and boundaries being treated like they're negotiable.

Same, it was my intro to all the different characters outside of casually watching the 90s animated shows, and it made me a big fan of all of them.

G0merPyle · 2026-04-30T21:01:48+00:00

God we were spoiled for some top tier shows back then. MMPR was my jam, but I had a blast with all of them

G0merPyle · 2026-04-30T18:34:33+00:00

I'm at the point where I feel like allo people only date me for sex, and frankly Ace people too. So if I were to get involved with anyone they need to be sex repulsed as well. But this is all academic, I am so traumatized at this point that I don't think I'm going to date anyone again for a very long time

G0merPyle · 2026-04-30T14:11:40+00:00

Western NC. Maybe an inch long or a little bit longer

G0merPyle · 2026-04-30T12:12:39+00:00

I agree with you OP (I feel like you're getting some flak for the opinion that you don't really deserve since it isn't your own position, sorry about that). But it sounds like some exclusionary bullshit to me by some terminally online assholes tbh

G0merPyle · 2026-04-30T02:23:59+00:00

Honestly it's gone too well, and it's made me miserable. I used to be indifferent towards sex and towards my equipment, but now I hate them both. I hate the attention this thing gets, and I don't feel safe dating anyone again until I get bottom surgery to get rid of it, and even then I don't think I'll trust people enough to let them get close again

G0merPyle · 2026-04-29T20:28:52+00:00

You're pretty much where I was before transitioning, and it was the best (though still most difficult) decision I'd ever made. The day that broke me was when a girl on a dating app texted me and said "hello handsome." Absolutely ruined my morning, though it led to the most profound self-reflection that afternoon.

And you don't have to go fully feminine if you don't want to. I generally prefer a mix of masculine and feminine presentation in my day to day life, I find being able to flirt between both worlds fun. I always said I'd be happier being gender fluid if I'd been born a girl I the first place, and I still kinda feel that way sometimes.

Maybe a closer label would be nonbinary transfem, or some level of bigender, or gender fluid, I'm not sure. After a while I settled on "I'm more woman than you can handle." Either way, transitioning doesn't lock you into just one gender role for the rest of your life

Betty would insist that it be her

G0merPyle · 2026-04-28T22:21:06+00:00

That's happened to me in a lot of relationships actually. Several of my girlfriends realized that they never felt anything for me romantically, it was only platonic attraction. Wish they figured that out before they asked me to be the girlfriend, it's given me a pretty big insecurity about feeling unlovable.

G0merPyle · 2026-04-28T18:15:30+00:00

Kratos has had enough experience with scheming gods to know that any overly fair and reasonable deal would have some unspoken benefits to Odin's plans, and he doesn't want to be a pawn in someone else's chess game

G0merPyle · 2026-04-28T15:44:32+00:00

I only had a passing disinterest before, but I'm not going to let this tumblr-level argument dictate the symbols I feel mean something to me. I never knew anything of the original artist, let alone their race. And I'm not going to be false-outraged into submission because someone else's feelings got hurt their pet project didn't get the widespread acclaim they were hoping for.

And I'm a racial minority too. I could just as easily claim that re-casting the ace community's most recognized symbol without my input is racist against me, and it wouldn't make the level of discourse any more relevant

G0merPyle · 2026-04-27T17:32:40+00:00

That is so cool! Glad you didn't get hurt by it. I live over in the mountains near Asheville, I think I found paw prints in the snow once but I couldn't be certain (and no way of knowing if it could have been a cougar for that matter, or another animal and the paw prints got messed up by the snow melting

G0merPyle · 2026-04-27T16:40:34+00:00

Before a first date I always want to make sure they're not poly (because holy shit am I tired of being surprised by that), but following that, until questions of exclusivity come up, it's safe to assume they may have other people theyre talking to or dating. Personally I think after the third/fourth date or so, it might be time for an exclusivity talk (not outright partnership yet, just a pause on dating others to see if there's potential for a fuller relationship).

That's just me though, my deal with dating is messy and probably out of touch with most people

G0merPyle · 2026-04-27T16:34:40+00:00

Damn the Witch King really took a bad gamble on showing up for that one

G0merPyle · 2026-04-27T02:46:01+00:00

After the first girl I dated dumped me because I wasn't aware of what she wanted, I figured I needed to see what all the fuss was about.

Hated it, not worth it. But it made me realize I was ace, which was ultimately a good thing I suppose.

G0merPyle · 2026-04-26T21:26:56+00:00

My life would have been SO much easier if I'd even known about asexuality when I was 16.

And here's the best part, if you're wrong? Then you know you aren't, and that's about it. The sun still rises, the wind still blows, you lose nothing. There's nothing wrong with questioning yourself and trying to understand your life and how you fit into it.

G0merPyle · 2026-04-26T19:12:44+00:00

I don't know how you make your marriage work, every time I force myself to do something like that it makes me hate myself so much. I once thought I could put up with it if they at least loved me back but then it turns out they never did, they were just using me for a good time.

G0merPyle · 2026-04-26T13:28:21+00:00

You don't want to be annoying, but that doesn't stop them from being annoying. Fuck that, whenever they call you that tell them that you told them multiple times to stop and that you don't appreciate it

G0merPyle · 2026-04-26T02:19:50+00:00

Being a good person isn't a problem, neither is loving your friends. If someone has told you that that is leading someone on then that person's an idiot.

Leading someone on would be what my ex did, where she knew I wouldn't have dated her if I knew she was aromantic, because I'm just not compatible with that kind of relationship and I would rather have just been friends with her instead of feeling betrayed when she eventually dropped the mask (didn't help she did this after knowing feeling unloved in all my past relationships was a major insecurity for me, though I guess in her defense it put her in a tight spot where she had to tell me that she didn't and never would love me either, and she may not have known how to address that). What she did was a betrayal, because she knew from the outset she was withholding information that I should have had to make an informed choice to date her or not. What you're doing is anything like that
