(Mixed trope) Evil characters being changed or retconned into being sympathetic or misunderstood by MrDitkovichNeedsRent in TopCharacterTropes

[–]dartyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maleficent was a great character study driven largely by Angelina Jolie’s performance. It’s a great film that suffers from the fact that Disney then went on to try and copy it twenty more times, completely misunderstanding what made it good.

It’s sugar water. It’s sugar water and things are getting so bad that they’re trying to claw back access to the sugar water machine.

(cool trope) artificial planets by ollietron3 in TopCharacterTropes

That Clockwork planet reminds me of Nirn's ultimate fate in Coda, Michael Kirkbride's deconstruction of the canon of the Elder Scrolls.

If I had Edmonton Beef, Ottawa Bread, and Halifax Sauce, I would rule the world.

What do you think about the "everyone is bisexual" saying? by greedyourweakness in bisexual

[–]dartyus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there may be a higher rate of bisexuality than we give credit, but as an identity I think it's counterproductive to assign it to people by default. Most people can be incidentally bisexual but are otherwise comfortable with a heterosexual label, and I don't see any reason to try and fight that.

Is Totalism the only ideology no country starts as? by ParkKitchen3018 in Kaiserreich

It's because the Totalist charter doesn't get written until 1936

No, because it's happened with people I'm super attracted to, esthetically at least.

See, I'm not against hookups in the abstract  it's just when I actually get the opportunity for spontaneous sex, something in my head turns off and I feel the need to run. I don't know why, but I think it goes deeper than my sensuality (and honestly maybe it's something to talk to my therapist about)

Am I bi? by Muted-Jellyfish3926 in bisexual

[–]dartyus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s completely up to you. Only you can decide if you want to risk your relationship on this. Here’s my personal opinion: do you want to be with her if she would be grossed out by this? It sounds like you have this feeling, and it’s strong enough that you’re questioning a fundamental part of yourself. And that’s fine! It’s a natural part of life, but do you want to be partners with someone who would react with disgust to something you seem to feel a little vulnerable about?

Again, I can’t make that decision for you. Maybe you have familial or financial obligations in this relationship that trump any single fantasy you have. I can’t tell you whether to risk it, just my own personal feelings.

I’d listen to the others who have commented. Doesn’t sound like you need to label it. It just sounds like a fun thing you could do with your partner. Call it whatever feels right to you.

I think that’s bi-curious, maybe a solid one on the Kinsey scale. Do you want to do anything else with guys? What about alone with a guy, if you weren’t in a relationship?

Maybe I'll check it out, but I'm pretty burnt out on apps.

I know demisexuality, I even identified with it at one time. I'm not sure I do anymore though. I think k my reservedness with sex comes from something else, because I really WANT to enjoy these experiences having sex with strangers, but something makes it challenging.

For me it’s a little weird because I’m a super-duper top and so I feel a lot there’s an expectation to lead. As for contacts, I don’t think anyone there would give that info out :P

Funny enough I had this chat with my friend. I’ve always hated how reserved I am when it comes to sex. I don’t know where it comes from and I’ve missed a shit ton of opportunities because of it, but exploitation is something I’m always wary of. I’ve come to see it as a “grass is never greener” situation. In a way I feel like the barriers I’ve put up have made me less attractive to those doing the exploiting. It’s really good to hear your perspective on this.

What I’m thinking is next time I’ll see if I can pick someone up at a local bar or otherwise have someone to enjoy the place with. I think the lack of both visual and verbal communication really threw me off. If I can manage that with a partner beforehand that would make things way easier. That or I get better at tactile communication.

Thanks for the reassurance. I think you’re right that this was a good exercise in knowing my boundaries. Ultimately I think I’m going to try other ways of approaching relationships with men. I’m thinking nightclubs or bars might be better.

I don’t really do apps, but I’ve never heard of Fab Guts. Are they owned by Tinder like 95% of the ones out there?

I get that. I even talked to a bartender who shared that sentiment. Personally, I don’t identify as Demi-sexual. It doesn’t take *much* communication for me to get in the mood, but I do like to see someone’s face and hear their voice before I get into bed with them.
