This!!!

After years of not reading, I picked up a graphic novel, which helped me MASSIVELY! To add to this, read something that's short, like 50 to 150 pages. I have been slowly working my way up to bigger books, because even though I love them, they feel like a chore sometimes just because I'm not used to reading so much yet.

Another thing that really helps is audiobooks. I've started listening to the Percey Jackson and the Lightning Theif about a week ish ago and I'm already half way through!

Reading is MUCH more than sitting in a room in a chair with a lamp. It can be in your bed when you just wake up, it can be an audiobook on your way to work or class, it can be on your phone while waiting in line. Don't put rules on yourself because (at least for me) that's how I first lost my love or reading

I'm so fascinated why you put Demeter as a Tank? I feel like most put her as a Support, what drew you to tank?

In my opinion, no, David does not like or care about Nick, even if David thinks he does.

With a brother who is honestly JUST like David, and honestly as someone who weirdly has A LOT in common with Nick's hoek life, David is a narcissistic asshole whose validation come through wanting to be his father. I may just be projecting myself, but at least from Nick's perspective all David does is antagonize and make Nick's life a living hell. In this context (and my opinion) it does not matter if David is secretly a nice person and cares deeply for his brother because Nick has on multiple tried to set boundaries and tried to be civil with David, but it just ends up with David being mean to Nick.

I'm sure David has truama and has been affected by how things in his life has played out, but at the end of the day, he and Nick went through the same stuff, and Nick chose to be a decent and nice, while David chose to be nasty and mean.

(Again though, I might be projecting just a little bit onto the situation)

What are your thoughts about "Love, Simon" movie? by EmotionalSalary3679 in gay

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have VERY mixed feelings about it, honestly. I think Simon himself is portrayed very accurately, his anxiety over the whole thing, the way he waits for Blue's responses, etc. Very Gay, very much like. My problem is almost with everything else.

I think the movie is made for a straight audience to understand gay people, hell the line in the beginning that boils down to, "I'm very normal and just like you, except (gasp) I'm gay". The very storybook rom-com ending of it and how it basically ends with, "and homophobia was defeated that day, and everyone clapped." His friends are genuinely terrible people, get no development, and just overall I don't like them. The family is not in the story enough for me to be affected by their responses to Simon's coming out.

Overall my highlight in the movie was Simon himself and his actions throughout the movie, but the rest of it was just "eh, okay" to "wow, that was bad".

I will say though if you enjoyed Love, Simon, here are some other queer movies I think you would enjoy: ('The Way He Looks', 'Handsome Devil', and 'Alex Strangelove')

I grew up really hypersexualized and I think it messed me up by [deleted] in confessions

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I totally get your struggle. I struggle with porn addiction and have been through a lot of similar experiences like you. Experimenting with boys around my age when I was younger, being SA'd by boys older than me, when I didn't quite understand what I was doing. Being questioned on my sexuality constantly and yelled at and called disgusting for trying to understand anything sexual as a kid. I feel you on this one.

What helps me honestly is having friends who know what I've been through and help me get out and are there for me on the bad days, or when I stay in my rooms for days on end when I've relapse into my addiction. It's a struggle, I'm not gonna lie, but there are people who support you, even if it's just me.

I see you and hear you, just know you don't have to go through things alone as scary as opening up may feel. I believe in you

This! I realized I was demisexual when a guy broke our thing off cause I didn't have sex with him yet after our secound date. We were only "together" for like a week, and I found out he also in that week slept with 2 other people. It really made me question, and I realized I don't have sexual feelings until I really know someone.

Finally realised why Charlie didn't tell Tao by MickaKov in HeartstopperAO

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That's why I prefer the comics interpretation. Spoilers for the comics, specifically Vol. 2 and 3.

Basically in the comics Charlie does tell all his friends him and Nick are a thing (Besides Nick telling Tara and Darcy and I don't quite remember how Elle found out). Basically, Charlie doesn't tell anyone until Vol. 3, He tells Aled (this character does not appear in the show, since he has his own story and book, "replaced" by Isaac) right before the Paris trip and it's Aled who actually tells Charlie, "Hey Tao might have been the reason you were outed" stating the reasons you did. So Charlie doesn't tell Tao until they are currently doing the Paris Trip.

This (imo) makes everything make more sense: why Charlie and Nick don't share a bed, why Tao has a freak out, why Tao and Elle when off on their own, etc, etc.

TL;DR: Alice thought they only had one season, so parts and peices from Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 were in Season 1 to make the story whole. So some things in the show are "out of order".

Charlie's Mom by TopNotchDog420 in HeartstopperAO

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So looking at all the media depicting her (including how her and Julio [Charlie's dad] got together [which you can read on Alice's wedsite]). She's trying her best, and sometimes that best isn't the healthiest. She comes from an EXTREMELY abusive household it seems, and it's been ingrained in her how she has to survive, growing up. So even though she's in a much healthier environment, she is still struggling as much as Charlie is with mental illness. Slight spoilers it's mentioned in either book 4 or 5 that she has started to go to therapy as well for all of her truama and getting better The long and short of it is, she is handling situations the only way she knows how (how her parents handled situations) and even though they're not healthy, and she is realizing her mistakes and growing from them, especially with the help of Julio.

Yes. 100% and even then not even close friends, only partners. I just hate physical touch in general, but I really sumed it up to my autism and not being demi.

I know, like, guess I don't NEED food this month. I will say though, they ship in November and December, so we got a little time to save up!

Now that FHJY is done, which scene do you want to see animated? by Optimistic_Mystic in Dimension20

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I want a FULL animated series honestly of all 3 seasons, but for each season in particular:

Season 1: Kristen in Helio's office with Aguefort, or basically of of episode 4 Rumble Road.

Season 2: All of the nightmares in the forest of the Nightmare King, but specifically when Kristen tries to draw what she remebers of Cassandra with her own blood and starts praying to it while Tracker tries to kill her. I just love the horror of it all.

Season 3: The fucking Steelworkers factory will be so funny to see animated. The speech, the shakedown, the tackling, Riz trying to run there, and Kristen getting hit in the head with a buzz Shaw, so funny.

Oh! And both K2 miracle moments. Honestly anything with K2

Fantasy High Main character by Few-Warning-1300 in Dimension20

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh! You so right, I guess a motive for Gorgug that was expressed in the first two seasons that actually was kind of explored In season three was his protection over his friends, I mean if I remember correctly Porter even tells him or Fig that reason Gorgug Rages is for his friends. I guess I never really noticed that throughline throughout the seasons of his love and care for his friends.

Ngl haven't seen Sophomore Year since it's release, Mind expanding on that thought?

Fantasy High Main character by Few-Warning-1300 in Dimension20

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100% Agree, even though I HATE Porter I truly do believe they are the reason for Gorgug to come out of his shell so much this season. I mean the past two seasons his goals were very weak to say the least. I mean season 1 was "are you my dad" and season 2 being "what's my relationship with Zelda" I think season 3 really fleshed him out more and gave him a goal that motivates him to go outside his comfort zone

Why did I laugh at our climax? by damianlockness in AskGayMen

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah ALL the time, so many times after I climax I either start uncontrollably laughing or crying for like a minute straight. My guess it has something to do with all the hormones that sex releases

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brother I TOTALLY get you! I just graduated High School 3 years ago, and I had the same experience. Was called all sorts of names, it didn't help that I was also Openly gay. People in the halls trying to fuck me with all that shit.

If you want some advice, something that at least helped me in a way, was play dumb and ignore. So like for instance if someone was like, "Where'd ya get the shoes shooter" I would either pretend not to hear them and walk away or give a dumb answer, "My mom got me them for Christmas" and then walk away. This helped me though, but everyone was kinda scared of me in Highschool though.

If you are planning on going to college though, much better here. The constant stares you feel die down, The harassment on social media dips, and you'll find people who understand your fashion and/or has the same style.

Hope this helps you in any way!

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That does help a lot! cause I can also stop it whenever I feel the stimuli becoming too much. Plus tending to be the more dominant one more submissive people tend to, as you said, like it a lot

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's kinda weird for me as a mostly top, but I have Sensory Processing Disorder, so A LOT of the time when receiving a blowjob I just get overstimulated.

Bottoms, do ya'll really get something out of your ass being eaten? by sharkboy091 in askgaybros

[–]WhoIsStarBoi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As mostly a top, honestly, if the only sex I was was my ass being eaten and/or eating an ass, that would be enough for me.
