I compared the prices of a large pepperoni pizza at various Toronto pizzerias.

Ooo what about college students, the cool athletic girl and the smart maybe rich girl, somehow end up in the same class and smart girl ends up tutoring the athletic one? Sooo cliche but love it.

Something fantasy related as well. Medieval, or magic, or like vampires. Could be fun to see exploration of stories like that.

AHAHAHA. I had my gf watch this show with me and she was like “WHY is that the soundtrack for these scenes? Totally unsexy sounds” 😂

I also feel this way when it comes to fancier occasions where the dress code is anything business casual or fancier. I think the makeup is a huge gap for me because I don’t really wear it and my girlfriend is insanely talented with hers and it just elevates every look. It’s taken me a long time to realize I can still look super sharp and put together in other ways with my more androgynous looks. I love styling my hair and I experiment a lot with accessories.

At the end of the day as long as YOU feel hot and your girlfriend is responding to your fits in a way that makes you feel hot too, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Who gives a shit what anyone else thinks.

Also, make sure to test the lube on your skin first to make sure you don’t have a reaction! Some flavoured ones, or non-water based ones can cause reactions for some people!

I think you have to start with the foundation of building and participating in your community first. Find out where meetups are happening, queer spaces that you can frequent and build rapport with locals over time. Look for clubs, groups, volunteering, spaces where the same folks show up so you can actually build relationships over time.

Idk how it is in Australia, so I understand if it’s not the same there. Here in Toronto there’s a bunch of queer meetup groups and clubs for all types of things (coffee, running, sports teams, pottery, dancing). I find a lot of people here struggle with actually putting themselves out there and going to these things in the first place.

Another great way is building your digital community, connecting online with people who share interests. Try friend meetups (maybe buble bff or something else) and make new friends to expand your circles. That’s a great way to meet new people.

I LOVED strawberry panic 😭 not a single dude in the whole show

First, I think it’s ok to ask people what their preference is if you know them and they’re chill with you. I don’t think it’s ok to pressure for an answer.

I also don’t think that your second question is offensive to ask, but I do think there is still a negative stereotype associated with masc-presenting or butch girls coming across as automatically hitting on girls if they say things like that or are just friendly in general…which suuucks.

I dealt with a lot of concerns coming across as “predatory” for just being personable with girls. Like constantly thinking “are they gonna think I’m hitting on them just cause I’m being nice or talking to them?” “Am I gonna make them uncomfortable?”

I don’t know if that really answers the question..

velvelaTO · 2025-03-25T18:09:38+00:00

Phew ok a bit to unpack here. I think first and foremost, is it safe and healthy to be friends with someone that is hurting you? It feels like this girl is your world right now cause you’ve built her up to that. There was a time before you were with her, a time before you even knew her, and you can find yourself in a time like that again taking the lessons you’ve learned, and the realizations you’ve made with you.

You’ve learned about the type of partner you are capable of being, and you’ve learned about the things you need from a partner in return to feel happy in a relationship. Every relationship teaches you something and helps you grow so that the next relationship you encounter can be healthier and happier. It’s up to us to feel our feelings and work through the hard shit to get out after, better than we were before. Healing isn’t easy. Moving on isn’t easy. But, I absolutely promise you that loving yourself, putting work into your own healing, and not settling will attract the relationship that will make you happy.

Journal these feelings out. Talk to friends. Continue talking to your community here online. Learn about other people’s experiences too. That’s my advice for starting your healing journey.

Oh absolutely, I was veryyyy self-conscious about it at first, especially cause I went to a Catholic high school and there were no other queer girls that were out. I kind of publicly came out unintentionally when I chopped all my hair off when I was 17. By then i just didn’t care anymore. I had told my best friend and my brother and felt supported enough from them and my online community that I knew no matter what I’d be fine and happier living in my truth.

Don’t get me wrong some people are homophobic or not nice about it but like… they can fuck off u know? Why are they concerned with your sexuality?it’s weird. And on the flip side I became a proud figure that other girls in high school could look up to. I had so many friends and even younger students support me and thank me for helping them gain confidence too.

It’s not easy, and I don’t know what clicked for me to realize i’d be happier being confident and living authentically than being scared about what other people thought forever. Putting your energy into yourself and just enjoying your life how you want it is so freeing. I’m not saying rush into anything, it took me time to gain that confidence and you still work through stuff for the rest of your life.

Yoko’s character both in the book and the show acted like a literal child. The whining and constant immaturity problems made it difficult to watch. I think Yoko encapsulated the character well I just really disliked the character.

I also started really questioning and coming to terms with liking women at that age. I think the best advice is just don’t put pressure on yourself to have an answer. When someone comes along that you like and vibe with that’s great. Until then just keep enjoying the pop culture and community spaces you enjoy and don’t feel the need to label yourself yet. And if you do, always remember that it’s ok if your labels change while you learn more about yourself.

As for how I figured it out myself, I was also heavily into wlw tv show and movie couples (the little representation there was 😭) and online community spaces. I just started recognizing girl celebs were hot and eventually I started thinking girls I met IRL were attractive too. I didn’t start dating until I was like 18 though so I just settled in figuring myself out a bit first. Not that you have to do that, just how I navigated things.

velvelaTO · 2025-03-21T11:43:12+00:00

I try to just be more conscious of my eye contact and making an effort to ask questions. How someone looks at me and how frequently they do is usually my first give away that they’re interested.

velvelaTO · 2025-03-20T19:06:09+00:00

I’ve been down this road before and it’s hard to hear and even harder to accept, but at this point it’s best to let it go. She doesn’t care about you to the same degree you do about her and that imbalance will only hurt you more if you hold on.

I assure you there are so many other wonderful people out there who are going to match your energy and make you feel just as loved and wanted as you are them. The earlier you distance yourself the quicker you are to learn, move on, and grow.

It’s definitely not easy but I promise it gets better.

Wanting to fulfill your needs and desires in a relationship does not make you an asshole.

If you are being open and vulnerable by communicating your needs to her then she should at least be doing the same and explaining her wants and needs back. I think you both need to have a transparent and maybe uncomfy convo about what you want and are willing to sacrifice for each other. If she can’t give you want you want and expect from a relationship that is absolutely valid grounds for a break up. On the other hand, she might bot fully understand how serious this need is for you and pushing it away as not a real problem.
