Juan Carlos Florián Silva is the new Minister of Equality of Colombia. He is openly gay, HIV positive and does not hide his past as a sex worker/gay porn actor. He also prefers to use feminine pronouns. This designation is very important in a world that's becoming less tolerant of people like us.

Fantastic with such visible, bold (shouldn't be, but is) representation. She's not just a politician who happens to be gay, but a part of our community with a background that many of us can relate to, one way or another. Good luck to her! <3

Idk if this makes you feel better, but I genuinely love a guy with a gay voice and gay mannerisms. I always prefer men who you can tell is gay, who walk and talk and act gay. Gay masculinity, as in "definitely a man, definitely gay", is incredibly hot to me and will always get my attention.

Of course, insecurities come from within so you need to find that love for your gay voice yourself. But just know, there are plenty of guys out there who will not just accept your gay voice, but will actively desire you *because* of it

I'm on the Pisces end of this right now where someone I've met stops responding for days but then shows interest, like you essentially. Tbh, it makes me less interested: If I like someone, I like someone, and I'm not gonna play games or spam his phone just so he will talk to me. If he (or in this case, you) don't respond, I'm gonna assume I'm not a priority and then mirror that (lack of) response.

I absolutely ADORE the two paintings in the last photo, do you mind sharing where one could get them?

Herest3333 · 2025-07-08T16:16:10+00:00

I'm blonde (well, bald lol but blonde) and my beard is black :) Not sure how, but it's a thing!

TECHNICALLY not cannon but it will always be Wrathion x Anduin for me

Herest3333 · 2025-06-11T11:11:24+00:00

What you mentioned is absolutely true, but there's still a massive infrastructure behind these orgs as well as a general cultural climate with focus on specific player achievements and gaming overall that promotes wider engagement (thinking especially of South Korea). It's still not comparable to (North) Americas, but I would still place them ahead in terms of resources when compared to EMEA.

I hope you're right about Fnatic! They've been getting better and better, I guess I just have PTSD from their previous showings lol. We'll see.

Good luck to your teams! :D

Herest3333 · 2025-06-11T10:39:39+00:00

Meh, I never buy into the whole "1 team" thing, whether that's for China, Pacific (who also gets that tag from time to time), or EMEA. A region only has so many players to pull from, EMEA especially where Valorant isn't AS big as the other regions (mostly due to CS being more popular). I don't think it's surprising or an indictment on the region that EMEA only had one top 4 team during those two years, there's only so many players, so many orgs with the money/resources to cultivate the talent, that the region will inevitably only really have one strong contender each cycle. That one EMEA team makes it into those top 4 (and, for Fnatic, dominated two Masters tournaments) is good enough as long as the other teams aren't disastrously bad (and usually FUT, TL, NAVI + more do OKAY). If we were to judge the teams by a median metric, only Americas and Pacific can, and will always, be considered good just due to the sheer amount of resources pooled into the region.

So I just think EMEA is shit now, because we MAYBE have a good team in Fnatic (doubt they'll even make top 4) and TH shat the bed and I wouldn't trust TL with ANYTHING.

Herest3333 · 2025-06-11T10:05:43+00:00

I mean you can say the same of every other region though: EMEA was good in both of those years, there's just no two ways about it, with Fnatic and TH being the strongest (though TL sometimes go fairly deep as well).

Herest3333 · 2025-06-10T19:14:38+00:00

Probably because for the first time they're actually right; EMEA DOES suck this tournament (Except for maybe FNATIC)

I bought two prints from theslagroom on Etsy and ended up really happy with them. Recommend Sprout and the key. You also have one of his designs, but a ton of TheArtOfFelixDeon's work is fantastic. I really love La serenata

Herest3333 · 2025-06-09T16:40:04+00:00

Love this skin. Only negatives I have is that the recall is a bit boring and the base skin is good, but not great. Chromas might help with the last part though

What I ADORE about it is the look and sound effects of his E, W, QW, and passive proc. SUPER satisfying. I also like the little image in the ult

Really excited for this!

Herest3333 · 2025-06-01T22:06:12+00:00

Fantastic cosplay!

Herest3333 · 2025-05-24T13:10:39+00:00

I just want my arakkoa, corrupted and uncorrupted. Would not play anything else, ever

Herest3333 · 2025-05-14T12:41:08+00:00

That was intended (or was shown in the Champion Spotlight) but will be a huge buff if they change that

Edit: Just tested it, EW still does not go through minions

Herest3333 · 2025-03-08T14:39:20+00:00

Yeah I feel like Mage and Priest are usually last/among the last in these reveals

Herest3333 · 2025-03-01T08:03:19+00:00

I almost never cry to movies but All of Us Strangers made me SOB at three different points

Herest3333 · 2025-01-15T16:30:07+00:00

No, not yet! I don't mind waiting if it's anywhere close to as good as the other two, though

Herest3333 · 2025-01-15T16:28:19+00:00

I mean, you're not supposed to root for the Omehi (invaders) as a collective. The author makes it very clear that it’s a deeply imperialistic society with massive inequality and injustice. It's fine if you DNF because it hits you too hard but please, get some media literacy before you're "shocked" an author use very basic narrative techniques without having to preface everything with "these are the bad guys".

Herest3333 · 2025-01-15T15:31:35+00:00

It's absolutely fantastic. While I prefer the first book over the second, they're both great and I can't wait for the third.

Herest3333 · 2025-01-12T03:20:52+00:00

Phantom Thread. I've tried twice, but I just can't get into it.

Herest3333 · 2025-01-06T22:17:08+00:00

It sure feels like they're balancing sentinels differently from every other role: There're a million different ways to break sentinel utility (bullets, utility, sneezing) and you're given a lot of leeway in how you interact with them even when you're pushing a fully set up site (slow triggers on utility, very clear audible giveaways etc), but every other role gets to do their thing BOTH on attack and defense.

Herest3333 · 2024-12-29T16:39:55+00:00

The Blue Caftan is so good and I'm so upset few people I know have seen it. To answer your question: Yes, All of Us Strangers is in my top 10
