Pretty suggestive ask but-

What do you think Killer's kinks would be generally? Would he like being in control, letting others take control, just in general.

(yes I'm ashamed of myself for sending this.)

Oh im probably the wrong person to ask about kinks 💀. I am an asexual and a virgin and I intend to be for life. I’m often indifferent to these types of things.

Anyway, a lot of these are mostly gonna vary on interpretation of killer and the like. But as I’ve stated many times, I see Killer as somewhere on the ace spec too, but one can be asexual and kinky—it’s just that his kinks aren’t likely to have much of a sexual thing behind it. (Not to say that they can’t of course.)

I think he’d focus a lot on pain, control, and power dynamics. He’d probably try anything at least once, at least Stage 2 would. I don’t believe he’d like hurting others or being hurt in any capacity while in Stage 1, or higher Stages.

Killer will not interpret it as something to be enjoyed or something that’s supposed to be done for pleasure, he’ll just see it as someone is hurting him in those Stages, and Stages 3-4 are unlikely to know why. And will probably lash out, resulting in someone being killed or hurt.

As for Stage 2. I’ve stated before that I don’t really see Killer as someone who has experience with intimacy, at least not in any way that’s meant to be genuine, and more often than not he avoids it. Not often really interested in it, and often distrustful when presented with it.

He may even just dismiss ever needing or wanting something like that entirely. His whole thing is believing he’s emotionless; he will reject or rationalize away anything that contradicts it.

Hurting people makes him feel strong and in control and enjoys that, being hurt feels comfortable and familiar, and if he can provoke someone into hurting him, not only does it feel good, but it proves him right that this is how things work.

Killer’s approach to things isn’t healthy, is very much tainted by his trauma and is very much him externalizing everything. He himself probably doesn’t view his “freaky” ways as anything kinky, it’s just normal. It’s what he learned to enjoy, this extreme version of it at least.

Which is to say I think being introduced to BDSM with a healthy partner or partners he trusts and respects, and respect him in return, would do him a lotta good. Killer does not maintain many boundaries of his own, and he often disregards other’s boundaries without much care at all. He even refers to his treatment of Swap as ‘fun’ and ‘playing.’

Engaging in Killer’s form of “kink” could very likely end with someone permanently injured or dead or traumatized. Which is normal for him. He is a very sadistic and masochistic person, in rather extreme ways. Like, I’m talking literally ripping him limb from limb type of masochistic.

And he is rather confused and frustrated when someone doesn’t hurt him, and he will likely attempt to provoke someone into doing so. Because it challenges his beliefs in ways he doesn’t like.

Killer is very much not practicing Safe, Sane, and Consensual, I don’t think. Which is why he’d need to be introduced to actual BDSM slowly and carefully, and he’d likely need to be shown through example—allow him time to observe.

Killer doesn’t trust others much at all. Perhaps the only way he knows how to show ultimate trust is willingly giving up control, completely. But it’s not submission in the way those who practice SSC BDSM would understand it—it’s just how he thinks the world works.

Control or be controlled. And if he’s not in control or more powerful, and he doesn’t want to leave or attempt to usurp someone (such as Color), perhaps he will instinctively submit—at least on the surface. He will maintain sliver of control by hiding parts of himself and manipulation.

If trust is there, however, and respect—if he believes this powerful person isn’t going to hurt him or use him, such as with Color—perhaps now submission is a form of loyalty, and maybe he even views this as protection. By giving control to Color, he is being protected. Color should know what’s good for him, because Color is a good person, and he isn’t. Everyone says not to trust him, and he can’t trust him, but he trusts Color.

He may attempt to seek punishment if he does something he thinks would warrant it. If only because it’s familiar, and maybe now if it’s Color giving the punishment, he can trust it’s because Color cares. (Color’s gonna have a hard time helping Killer unlearn this stuff.)

Perhaps this is where the whole “vore,” thing comes in. Or more specifically, the soul vore stuff. Craving intimacy and control and power and safety, and feeling broken and missing pieces and shattered. The idea of becoming one with someone who is whole and powerful, who cares about you, who wants to protect you and take care of you. Especially if doing so would mean making Color more powerful and therefore keeping him safe. The whole idea of “together forever.”

So I do think he could very kinky, sexual or not, but he needs to be taught the actual difference between abuse and bdsm/kink. He needs to be shown that he can receive and enjoy pain when he wants and to know it’ll stop when he wants.

He needs to realize he can practice with submission without being a 100%, all or nothing thing—that he still has power in submission too. And he needs to realize the difference between pleasure, safe pain and what’s just sadistic torture.

(This isn’t to get into all the fear and trauma responses and memories it’ll all likely drudge up in Stage 1, 3, 4, even if it’s important to satisfy st2’s needs while unlearning the mindsets behind them.)

He and Color already have a head start in the whole thing, given that the entire reason why Color’s approach worked, whereas Swap and Dream’s didn’t, was that Color gave him a choice. Color kept consistently giving Killer choices, and respected whichever ones he made. Killer can learn how to do respect others, and himself, how to advocate for himself—by following Color’s consistent example.

Which is all to say, that I think that if Killer ever got into BDSM—likely to explore and satisfy his needs for control and pain in a controlled and safe environment—I think he’d explore many kinks, and discover them for himself and perhaps alongside any partner(s).

And now it becomes less from a place of re-enacting trauma and abuse that have become normalized to him, and more about unlearning that and finding what he enjoys. And fostering a sense of trust and intimacy alongside a clearer sense of boundaries and consent and healthy relationships.

But of course everyone can feel free to add on with what kinks ya’ll think he’d specifically be in.

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

Am I (27m) the asshole for wanting my boyfriend (28m) to be attracted to me?

This involves sex as a topic but won't get explicit, I'll keep it vague. I'm asexual. Completely sex repulsed in a physical sense, mostly due to autistic sensory issues. I've never had any interest in sex and didn't have any libido at all before going on testosterone, so the way most allosexuals tend to view and think of sex is something I've always struggled to understand.

In previous relationships, my asexuality was handled in different ways depending on the person. One boyfriend was totally fine just not having a sexual aspect to our relationship, another one had a hookup he got my approval on. The compromise me and my last boyfriend came up with was that he'd text me his fantasies about me and that did a lot for him without me having to physically be in the situation, and even if I didn't get anything sexual out of it I did enjoy it. It was a confidence boost. I dont generally consider myself attractive or desirable, i wear sweaters in summer because im so self conscious, and this compromise actually did a lot to help me see myself in a different light.

I recently got into a new relationship and, as with every relationship I've been in, there's inevitably a discussion about how we're going to compromise on this issue. My new boyfriend didn't know anything about asexuality and barely understood when I explained but he's very insistent about not crossing my boundaries, which I appreciate. But the problem is, since he'd never considered sexuality from a less direct angle, he didn't really know where to even start with ideas when we were trying to work out a compromise. So, I started making suggestions, thinking back to what worked for other people I'd dated. Just abstaining wasn't going to be doable for him so I didn't suggest it, and he wouldn't be comfortable with a hookup.

I remembered my ex used to be able to get something out of telling me about his fantasies so I asked if that was something he'd be into. I wasn't angling to try to get him to agree to something, I genuinely just wanted to know whether or not that was an option to consider. He didn't actually answer at first, he went quiet and then he answered the question with another question and asked "wouldn't something like that make you uncomfortable?" And I said "no, because the physical component is the thing I have issues with, not the subject matter itself. So long as I don't have to directly engage in the situation, I'm golden."

I don't know if this is something that was really stupid of me to say and my autistic ass just didn't realize, but since he's so careful about my boundaries and comfort and tends to fret, I thought his problem in the moment was worry that I'd be making myself uncomfortable in an attempt to meet his needs. So I hurried to reassure him and said not only would it not make me uncomfortable, I'd enjoy it in a way. Not sexually, but I enjoy knowing that my partner is attracted to me. It makes me feel good about myself.

He got really upset. He doesn’t get upset easily and hadn't ever gotten properly upset with me before (at least not to this extent) so I was very taken aback, but I was floored by his reason for being upset. Not word for word, but he essentially said "so basically you want me to frustrate myself to feed your ego?"

I was, I think understandably, completely fucking appalled by such a suggestion. I said of course not, I was just suggesting something I knew worked for someone else because even if it wasn't his thing, we could narrow down options by process of elimination. Which made logical sense, to me. He wasn't calmed though, he started saying things like "so, you want your partner to be attracted to you even though you never plan on actually letting them act on that attraction? Do you see how cruel that is?" And... I don’t know, which is why I'm submitting this here. Is that cruel?

From my perspective, I would think it's only natural to want to know your partner finds you attractive, doesn't everyone want to be wanted to some degree? I don't get some sort of sadistic thrill out of it as he seemed to be implying, and I don't want it to impact my partners in a negative way. If this was something he would find frustrating then no, of course I wouldn't want him to frustrate himself, we could look at other options. When I made the suggestion, I figured the worst that would happen was he'd say no and we'd narrow down the list of options. I never imagined my moral character would be called into question.

He's usually so, so nice to me and it hit really hard for someone who’s usually so fond of me to say I sounded selfish and vain. Both actual words he used when this devolved into an argument. I explained my reasoning for suggesting it to begin with but he said the issue isn’t the suggestion, it's that he thinks that it's fucked up of me to want my partner to be attracted to me when I'm not going to indulge that attraction and it makes him wonder if I'm really a different, worse person deep down and he's only now getting to see it. He called it a red flag. That seemed like such a leap to me but I don't want to dismiss the suggestion out of hand. Many bad people think they're good people, so it's not out of the question.

This was our first real argument, previous disagreements had been talked out very calmly but emotions ran high with this one. I dont know if this is something that triggered him for deeper reasons, considering his reaction was so intensely out of the norm for him, or if the whole thing just looks entirely different from the perspective of someone who isn't sex repulsed.

Am I the asshole here? Is it really as fucked up as he says that I enjoy knowing my partner is attracted to me even though I won't agree to have sex with them?

We didn't discuss the topic any more that night, and it hasn't been brought up since. He hasn't been treating me differently than before, but he's always proactively apologized before when he was in the wrong about things and he hasn't this time, so to me that says he still stands by what he said. His words have stuck with me and they’re eating at me. I feel like such a horrible person, and I have no idea if I should feel more or less guilty about this.

Tl;dr: my boyfriend is upset that I like knowing my partners are attracted to me even though I don't want to and don't intend to have sex with them bc he thinks that's majorly fucked up and a red flag.

What are these acronyms?

[communistkenobi]

in that post abt the gender unicorn graphic, in the comments the idea of the “split attraction model” is brought up and you say you dont want to litigate that. however, im really curious what your opinion is bc i have some ideas abt it too. i feel like its sort of an incomplete analysis? like, people feel different ways about others and that cant really be flattened into like two modes of attraction. but i personally would call myself aromantic and bisexual so obviously i have some level of investment of the idea. anyways i just ask because in general i find your analysis and opinions compelling

thank you! re: this graphic

My issue with splitting “physical attraction” and “emotional attraction” is that it does the same naturalising trick that the chromosomes-as-the-symbol-of-sex does - by splitting the emotional from the physical, this implies that physical attraction is natural, without emotion, and by the same token that emotion can exist completely detached from the physical body of the person you emotionally desire. Like I just don’t think this is true! For example, the idea of “casual sex,” ie sex that is devoid of emotion/emotional investment, is a social construction, it is a sexual act that is being contrasted against societal norms of “serious sex” or “invested sex” or whatever you want to call it - sex that is being done in the context of a monogamous, married relationship, or an otherwise exclusive long-term one. the base social unit of much of western society is the nuclear family, and the nuclear family is “ideally” produced by monogamous, cis-heterosexual, racially homogeneous reproductive sex. That is the norm by which all other sexual behaviour and activity is judged by.

and to be clear I’m not using “emotional” in an idealistic or moral sense, I am not using it as a shorthand for romantic feelings, I am purposefully using the language the graphic is using - I mean any emotion. Like just to be super clear, I’m not suggesting that people who have casual sex all secretly love the people they fuck, or that sex has to always be a serious emotional endeavour, or that people who do not feel sexual attraction to the people they have romantic feelings for are secretly lying, but that I don’t think sex is something that can be devoid of emotionality entirely. Like I think we are engaging in this Cartesian body/mind dualism where the physical acts we perform are somehow wholly separate from our emotional states. Pleasure has an emotional component to it, I don’t know how to articulate my experiences with pleasure that do not involve some level of emotionality, and emotionality has a physical character to it. Like in fact I think this graphic is treating emotions as ideal states - it reminds me of like old misogynistic psychological theory that described rationality as an absence of emotion, that to engage in rationality is to move away from emotion. It treats rationality as “out there,” objective, natural, detached from social influence, and emotion as “in here,” in our hearts, ruled by the social. And this distinction is made on the idea that the social world is detached from the physical world, which is pure idealism.

this is not a dismissal or denial of anyone who feels a disconnect between their sexual and romantic desires, such as asexual or aromantic people - while I am neither of those things, I have experienced intense physical desire for the person I’m fucking while actively dissociating during sex as a result of dysphoria/heteronormativity/etc etc. by the same token I have also felt emotionally compelled to be physically attracted to someone without actually feeling physical desire. These are both emotional states that were in conflict with my physical desires, or rather my physical desires as I understood them at the time. our ability to interpret and understand our desires is itself social! otherwise heteronormativity wouldn’t be a thing. We don’t have unmediated, unemotional access to physical desire, which I think this graphic is arguing, intentionally or not.

so having complicated, contradictory, disconnected, or otherwise ‘non-normative’ relationships to our emotional states vis a vis physical desire is obviously very real, and the reason they are real is because physical desire is also socially mediated and constructed. What and who we find attractive, why types of bodies, physical and character traits, etc are attractive to us are all part of (joker voice) society.

now, idk how you easily communicate this in graphic format. perhaps these things are unsuited to the medium of easily digestible graphics, or perhaps I’m limited in my imagination. either way I don’t think bifurcating emotional-desire-as-social and physical-desire-as-natural is particularly helpful

[tstwitterupdates]

Same anon as before, talking about having to scroll through everything; I get your points, and it's like- totally valid. But correct me if I'm wrong, but this blog was made entirely for the purpose of showing Thomas's tweets? I'm not saying that you can't change the content of a blog, but the fact that one of your suggestions is "oh just search the Twitter tag for all his tweets" is slightly frustrating when that should be the main point of the blog. I understand not wanting to have a separate criticisms blog too, don't get me wrong, and I'm glad you did this in the first place, but I kinda wish there was some sort of agreement or midground we could come to. Also- some of your 'not a tweet' posts have clarifications that are actually related to the tweets, and I do want to see those. I just think people saw one person vent and took it as free ground to dump on Thomas in general when this was Not The Place To Do That, and it's frustrating. :/ And I'm sorry for taking it out on you, you don't deserve this either. -tired Anon

yeah you’re right. thanks for sending this, i feel better now that you’ve phrased it like this and i completely agree.

this had happened before and that’s why in the pinned post i wrote a comment about please keeping asks on topic of the tweets. and i think that’s just the best solution, to encourage people not to send as many anons. but of course each person is sending just one ask, they don’t know how many others have sent theirs.

what we could do is that if anyone wants to send asks that are getting out of topic (or criticism) you can send them instead over to @logically-asexual, my main sanders sides blog. im not turning it into an exclusively criticism blog but i am available to chat there any time and complain very often. if i receive many anons here i can make a post then saying that their answers will be posted on that blog, for anyone unaware.

that way i can answer over there and i don’t leave asks unanswered here and don’t fill the dash of stuff that gets in the way of finding tweets. does that sound good? :/

[echo-writes-things]

I have not written smut for alastor, but I have read a decent fic recently that made him being touch averse very clear as well as not really experiencing romantic attraction. I think he was written as demisexual (which I am not sure if it is or is not on the ace spectrum). But, I am very curious to hear your personal insight, though. How would you personally go about writing an aroace character in a sexual or romantic situation while also still being very clear that their orientation is aroace? What details or elements of their personality would you be sure to include? And how does the situation matter when writing for an aroace character?

Demi is under the ace spectrum! Personally I think you can write these sorts of fanfics but you need to show that there’s no attraction as a baseline. Demisexual means you like people who are very close to you and that’s your “type” for sexual attraction. I know someone who’s Demi as well.

I think establishing that there is a care for the partner but it’s different than a romantic or sexual interest. They might wanna hold hands still and snuggle but they don’t feel that attraction. Instead they have that want for that persons presence in a different way. There’s something called a Queer-Platonic Relationship some might have mentioned. I think writing out a Queer-Platonic Relationship would be a great start because there’s very little fanfics in that. It’s basically having a best friend who’s a little more special than that. But to write out a regular romantic relationship with an aromantic asexual would mean showing through little things that while the attraction isn’t there the love and care is always there. Love doesn’t always equal attraction. You can love a person without feeling attracted the same way you’d love a best friend!

If writing for an Alastor fanfic, people think he’s very touch repulsed but in the show it’s clear he’s very okay with initiating touch with people he’s close to. So like before that care is there, but the attraction doesn’t have to be. Im not aromantic so I would suggest asking someone who is for more in depth on that aspect of course. But saying things like “I cherish you”, “I care for you”, “you feel special to me” etc can establish there’s a deep bond but no romantic or sexual feelings behind it. Also different pet names. They probably won’t use babe or bae but might use dear or darling (just some slight examples) since those are less reserved for romantic relationships.

Im not sure if I got my wording right on this one but I am gonna try to post a video to elaborate a little better hopefully!

Edit: I’m unable to post videos on it bc they’re all waaaay too short to get everything I want

Also I wanna say y’all have been super nice about this I’m grateful for you guys being so kind about this sort of topic and to hear people agreeing is refreshing. I appreciate the energy you guys have given to me about this topic 🫶🏻

[loversj0y]

boundaries

i will never, under ANY circumstances write something that breaks someone’s boundaries. for me, RPF relies on using a persons face and basic traits and writing a version of them that exists in stories in my head. however that does NOT MEAN their boundaries are not important. regardless of the context, if the real person is in anyway the “face claim” of either the written version of themself, or a character of themselves i wrote, i will NEVER break their boundaries.

if i do so, it is not knowingly. do NOT vaguepost about me doing so either because i am autistic and will not understand. if i am breaking a person’s boundaries i WANT TO KNOW before you block me or just call me a shit person.

also, ive stated this before on my blog, but i will never write NSFW content. i may included suggestive jokes and things that are more on the PG-13 side (like making out) but i am asexual. i am not comfortable writing NSFW or even reading about it. making jokes about NSFW stuff is fine (again within that person’s boundaries, my OWN boundaries included) and i find NSFW humor pretty funny and often write it. but NSFW content will never be something that i outright produce in general. im not comfortable with it.

more of my boundaries

- i will never reveal my face on here. it is a safety thing and a privacy thing (irls that like wilbur for example) please do not ask me for any clues about what i look like. if i don’t reference it or supply it myself, i dont want to talk about it

- i have made vague mentions to where i live, specifically by saying the state and that i live in a big city. do not try to find anything else out

- i have been put in danger because of the internet before. both actual danger (stalking) and perceived danger (paranoia, mental instability) so do not even make JOKES about my privacy or knowing what i look like. it makes me so incredibly uncomfortable

- do not joke about SA on my page. i have written fics covering SA recovery because it is something that i have dealt with and i use it to cope. this does not mean you can just joke about it or traumadump with no warning

- dont call me pet names if we arent friends. point blank.

- i have been given death threats over discourse before to the point that seeing any mention of discourse makes me start to panic. do not involve me in discourse. however, if there is something going on that you think i should be aware of, or if i speak out of turn on something i dont know enough about, feel free to tell me in the DMs, just give a valid trigger warning.

- again, im not comfortable with NSFW works. i will not read them so do not ask me to. i will not write them so do not ask me to. it does not matter if the character is real or fictional. it makes me uncomfortable

- if you are below the age of 16, dont dm me or try to actively talk to me. even if my blog is not NSFW, im not comfortable talking to people below that age. the only exception is if you need a safe space to come to and tell someone about another adult online who is harassing you, i am always willing to help out in those situations.

- DO NOT BLAME ME FOR THE ACTIONS OF MY MUTUALS. I AM NOT THEM. i cannot control people, and i am not on here enough to be policing people that i interact with. i have a life outside of this site.

i may add more in the future. im not sure yet

[wearequeer-andwearehere]

I am so sorry if this may sound ignorant (I have been doing online school for about 3 years now and havent really been around many people my age for a while so I don't know if this plays into my question or not)

I have 2 questions

1. I use the pronouns she/her (it's just what I have always been comfortable with) but I prefer to were more masc or boy stereotypical clothing I guess you could say. Now I do like girl clothes but not as much. I think im just confused if it's a body thing or a gender thing because I like masc clothes so much since they just fit my body better I definitely feel more comfortable in them, but I also like to wear fem presenting clothes as well that may be more form fitting. And you know sometimes I want to put on a suit and strut around in it and sometimes I want to put on a dress it just depends.

2. I am very confused about my sexuality lol. I don't think I realized people could even be more than what society had already deemed as normal and around the age I would have probably began to explore my sexuality covid hit and everything went online. (For reference I am about to turn 16 and would have been 13 when the pandemic hit) I feel the same when I see an attractive female as I would an attractive male (this goes for anyone really if I find them attractive I can feel attraction to them, whether it's a platonic, romantic, or sexual attraction genuinely don't know) I also am fine reading sex scenes but whenever people talk about it in person or if I watch it on tv that's when I get uncomfy and I genuinely can't see myself having sex with someone (idk if that will change or not) but im fine with seeing myself being in a relationship and cuddling expressing my love for a person and sometimes kissing (it depends)

I am so sorry that this was sooo long and all over the place my brain is all messy when I don't plan things out before I write or say anything, and you don't have to answer of course this was just me ranting about how I have no clear thoughts as to who I am yet and it feels good to get it off my chest lt even if you don't answer or even see this.

Thank you genuinely it feels good to talk.

No need to apologise!! I’m here for u :] That’s good, I’m glad writing this ask helped you feel better—try and write shit down sometimes, even if it’s just hastily typed into a google doc and immediately deleted. Shit’s magic honestly.

Preferring or liking masculine clothing doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re transgender. Like obviously it’s a possibility but it’s not like, oh I like pants instead of skirts that means I’m a guy!! You could be trans or you could just be a girl who likes different types of clothing.

My advice is like, don’t sweat it too much, and just do what makes you happy. If you like masculine clothing, fucking go for it!!! I’m sure you’ll slay 100%!! If you wanna wear form fitting stuff, go for that too!! Just. Do what makes you feel like yourself, and do what makes you feel happy, don’t worry about labels and am-i-trans-am-i-cis and all that, kay? Just Vibe!!!!!!

I’d suggest you consider mspec labels, which means attraction to multiple genders, labels like bisexual and pansexual, or just plain old bi and pan might be good for you!!

You can look into the asexual spectrum, which is basically all sexualities that aren’t like 100% allosexual (allosexual means like. most of the population and how they experience sexual attraction.)

Yes, attraction can be confusing. And yes, it’s possible the stuff you feel might change. Maybe you’ll feel sexual attraction someday, or maybe you never will!!

But go with what you like *now.* If bi feels good, go for bi! If asexual feels good, go for it. If you wanna change it later, that’s okay!!

I’m gonna give you my standard new shoe advice—yknow when you have rlly shitty old shoes but you’re used to them, and when you get new shoes you’re like wtf these are really weird, but then you eventually realise they’re much more comfy and you were just used to the shitty old ones?

New labels can be kind of like that. So like, if u try a label and it feels Weird, ask yourself if the weird is a “this is the wrong shoe size” weird or a “i need to break this shoe in” weird.

Hope I could help you out!! Sending my love, and I hope you find what makes you feel happy and feel like yourself!! Have an amazing day <333

[maleody]

I'm probably not who you think i am since i dont really know you at all im just someone that follows you. Your art is cute and everything but i really thought you had learned to stop drawing stuff like this. Why do you draw female dave fat and male dave significantly skinnier? Fat people's boobs do not look like that under a shirt. Crotches and butts do not look like that through pants. The clothes look shrink-wrapped around her body, which is common in sexual art. Also, what do you think "simp bait" is? "Simp bait" is sexual, the purpose is to get the viewer interested in the art because the character/pose is sexy. Listen, it's fine if you draw stuff like this in private, but you really should not be posting these things publicly, it's dangerous for you and uncomfortable for people looking through dnb art

I NEVER SAID SHE WAS FAT I SAID CHUBBY THIS PROVES YOU DIDNT READ WHAT I SAID IF SHE WAS MORBIDLY OBESE I WOULD’VE DONE ALL THAT 😭😭😭

THERES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAT AND CHUBBY

im sorry for typing that in all caps but i obviously cannot explain what i was going for when drawing that cuz im not good at explaining stuff but if i were you’d understand and we wouldn’t have to have this conversation at all therefore im not deleting the post cuz i don’t really see anything wrong with it at all and plus this couldve turned out even worse if i posted this on twitter

not to mention how i explained many times that moth dave is stupid and doesn’t know what hes doing in some situations and imma try my best to explain to you again

moth dave thought “hey what if i tried and use my female alternate to maybe get people to give me their lamps? people love women right?” and no he’s wrong cuz not everyone like women theres people who like their own genders and stuff or whatever

and therefore the viewer could be gay or asexual and stuff which means the baiting wouldnt work at all

and also this isnt sexual content? your wrong this could be seen as “suggestive” but is there any nsfw in this at all? nope any skin showing? nope so your wrong it’s actually suggestive content instead of sexual

Ask Answers: July 10th

I really let asks get away from me lately. I was super focused on working on that Patreon Moment. With that done I can finally think about doing other things, so here’s a new collection of answers!

Thank you for sending in questions everyone ^^.

For the new Patreon moment, will you be able to reference it in step 4? Or just like a tiny nod to it if you pick certain choices?

There won’t be. I’m sorry if you were hoping for that! The Patreon moment is meant to be entirely optional, it’s not something that gets you extra content in the main game.

Is the new CG artist the main one now? :0 I’ve noticed theres been a difference in the art style recently. Is the old CG artist still going to make art for the game? :0

The original artist still makes CGs for the game sometimes, but he mainly focuses on character sprites.

Are you going to put the NSFW our life moment on a website other than patreon? I would love to get it but I can't use patreon atm.

I don’t know. I'm afraid we can't release the Patreon Moment on a normal game storefront because we can't mix 18+ content with our family friendly game. If there's some other place similar to Patreon where it's not the normal type of full-scale public content releases we'd consider using that, but I’m not sure if there is another site that’s better than Patreon in that regard. I'm sorry.

Out of curiosity, in all of your games so far, which characters in each were the most fun to write? They obviously don't have to be your favorite characters!

Buffalo Seer in AFA, really everyone in XOD/XOBD is pretty equally entertaining to write, The Guide in LoV, and Cove in OL!

idk if you accept "personal" questions, but is there anything you've been watching/ listening to lately

Mostly, I’ve been watching/listening to Authortube videos as of late! It’s people who talk generally about the process of how books become traditionally published and/or share their own experience as they attempt to be published. I don’t have an interest in writing normal text based books, but it’s really interesting to hear about that world. I’m listening to a video about royalties right now as I answer these asks.

Will one of the desserts we get to pick be fudge? That'd be such a cute reference! 

Haha, yeah, it should. Unless I completely blank on it and forget when trying to include the various referential food options.

I don't know if this has been asked previously but what would be the approximate heights for the presets MC can choose from Step 2 ~ 4? Are there any measurement you had in mind? Sorry if I didn't make myself clear kk I've been struggling with my English lately 💀 

I don’t know, ahah. I didn’t have any numbers in mind for that. So it’s whatever you imagine it is!

I noticed a bug with the Patreon moment when it comes to what your character wears. When Jamie and Cove are kissing while my character only had dresses selected, I had both the option to remove the dress or to remove the shirt... Picking one of the options to interact with Cove, after he removed his shirt, it had Jamie remove their shirt followed by ther pants despite only having dresses picked. 

Thank you for reporting ^^

I keep refreshing steam to see when the new doc for xobd will be released. I noticed you haven't posted anything about it in quite some time. Would it be possible to ask about a timeline/potential date? (If it's even this year—) I know you and your team are probably working super hard, I'm just super curious! ~Thank you!~ 

There are more stories done, I just haven’t gotten around to publicly releasing them. Hopefully I will have a chance to spend the time on that sooner rather than later!

hello!! i’m not sure if it’s an update but i’ve just replayed our life and at the end i can’t propose to cove anymore? :(( i’ve actually tried playing twice but the options are not there anymore, did you guys remove the options? i’m sorry if you’ve answered this before!! thank you and have a good one :) 

I’m afraid things haven’t been changed or removed, so I think you might’ve accidentally picked the wrong things somewhere along the way and locked yourself out of being able to propose by mistake. Sometimes you meant to say you want to get married but instead you mis-click and have it so the MC isn’t thinking about marriage or something. All I can suggest is starting from the beginning of Step 3 and making sure to follow the steps listed in the FAQ. I’m sorry for that.

Did yall remove some of the options for when youre making out with Cove in the charity moment? I could've sworn you could grab his bonkadonk and its not there anymore 

This is the same situation as the above. We didn’t remove things and you’re not wrong that there are sometimes those options. But there are various choices you have to make to get those options and it sounds like you accidentally missed something. If your relationship isn’t long-term, you can’t do it for example.

HI IM SO EXCITED I CAN FINALLY GET THE STEP 3 DLC 

Thank you for getting it!

Is Shiloh super totally straight bc I’m very gay and a huge Shiloh fan, would my man make an exception?😩

Sadly, he is one of our super straight characters. I’m sorry.

Hi, I have a very dumb question. In Step 2 does Cove not wanna share his drink with us at the mall (or rather why he stops drinking it) because it's an indirect kiss? Or is it like ...weird to him to share? Because if I remember right he eats off our spoon in the birthday scene right? 

Yeah, he’s awkward about it because he likes the MC and it feels very personal to share a straw with his crush.

Hi! If you don't mind me asking, who is the artist for OL2? Their style is so pretty! 

Thank you for saying so! This is her Twitter- https://twitter.com/redridingheart

Do Beginnings & Always and Now & Forever exist in the same universe? 

Yep! XOXO Droplets also exists in the same universe. It’s one big GB Patch world, haha.

Do Pran's parents regret the way they raised him? Do they feel ashamed of it?

No. They’re the type of people best cut out because they’re not gonna change. Which is why Pran does go very limited contact when he’s an adult.

Hi! I just wrapped up my second playthrough of Our Life, and I absolutely adore it, but I had a question. I went to the gallery and found I was missing 2 CGS (specifically Step 1-3 and 2-3) and I had no clue where they would've shown up. Which moments are those found in? 

You get it by telling Cove about his dad offering you money to be his friend in Step 1 and Step 2. You can’t get both in one playthrough, since you can only tell Cove the truth once. I’m really glad you liked it!

Hi hi! Please, how tall is Baxter and Derek? Love the game so much and I can't wait to see more! 

I don’t know, aha. I think Baxter was around 5′10 and Derek was like 5′8/5′9, maybe. I really am not one who has specific heights for things in mind.

is adult cove a bottom, top, or switch? 

A switch, though would choose the top if he had to pick.

I was wondering if there is a way to transfer save data? Even if through the game files. I wanted to be able to transfer my save data from my desktop over to my laptop so that I could continue playing right where I left off from but I'm not entirely sure how to go about that. 

If you save the save folder/persistent data of the game from your desktop and put it into the game folder on your other device, that could work.

Hi! Is it possible for us to know the date when our life: now and forever comes out on steam? Sorry if you've mentioned it before but I haven't seen it and I'm looking foward to that happening and just wanted to know :) 

It’s gonna be a long time, I’m afraid. There’s no estimate right now.

I started playing Our Life with my sister a while ago, and I think you guys should know that we discovered your secret. >:)

L from death note and Cove are clearly the same person, and this whole game is just an origin story!!

I’ve never seen that show so I’m sorry to say I don’t understand the connection/reference you’re trying to make. I’m pretty out of the loop when it comes to media. I don’t watch movies or TV.

Will OL2 have options for disabled MCs?

I understand if it's too complicated, just curious

Unfortunately, it’s not really something we have a plan for. We couldn’t finish the game if we tried to include every disability and have it be meaningful. It’d just be too much content to create. But if we decide to only include a few, how would we choose which disabilities get to be represented and which are left out? I don’t know. It’ll probably have to be something we don’t include as an option again, sadly. I’m sorry.

playing our life > anything else 

Haha, I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

Honestly, I would like to thank Our Life for helping me come to terms with my sexuality. Before, I never would've actually thought that it was possible to like boys romantically and still be asexual. Almost all of the BL visual novels I've read had unskippable sexual content in them and it honestly just didn't click with what I feel. I'm glad I found Our Life. I love the game, the developers, and this fandom so much. Now, I can safely come out as homoromantic AND asexual (at least anonymously here anyway; my parents are still huge homophobes 😂). 

Aw, it’s great to hear you felt comfortable being yourself in the game! That’s wonderful. I’m really sorry about your parents, though.

Will the demo for OL2 be on android? Really not sure if I could wait any longer than I have to aha 

Yeah, it’ll be available for Android once we eventually release a demo!

Do all these reveals perhaps mean development is progressing ahead of schedule? Please let that be the case I'm already obsessed with Qiu 

No, sorry, aha. Art comes along much faster than script/programming-work for us. It’s gonna be a long time before the game is a finished thing you can actually play. But at least we can look at the beautiful images.

Hey! First of all I wanna say I reallllllyyyyy loooovvveeee Our Life and XOXO Droplets! I have over 300 hours of playtime on Our Life… Anyways, I was just wondering, are the Derek and Baxter DLCs going to come out at the same time? If not, which one do you plan to release first? :3 

They will come out separately and Derek will be first! Glad you like the game.

I keep replaying Our Life to get every possible iteration and I am loving it <3 I was wondering if Cove gets locked out of his confession because MC was talking to Lee, would it be possible to confess to him in step 4? 

Yeah, you can avoid the confession in Step 3 and then get it in Step 4.

Hi, my Cove wears bracelets through step 2 and 3 but I still don't get an option to give him a bracelet? I didn't even know that was possible until I seen someone else ask about it lol 

Hm, did you use the Cove creator? Maybe there’s a bug where using the creator to add bracelets doesn’t fulfill the requirement to give Cove a bracelet in Step 3.

Wait, I'm dense, when does Baxter appear in step 2? Is it from big park firework? I feel so bad since i really love Baxter and waiting to buy his dlc. 

It’s in the Soiree Moment. You have to be just friends with Cove, indifferent, or crushing but not ask Cove to the dance at all. Then while there you can find someone new to dance with. But if you bring Cove to the dance while crushing, the MC won’t wanna dance with anyone else so you can’t get the scene.

In step 2 when we go to the soiree I made my mc go alone and baxter chooses the mc to dance, i'm curious, why did he pick the mc? sorry if this has been asked before! 

Because the MC looked to be around his age, seemed to also be searching for a partner, and had nice legs. A perfect option for him.

I read some of the FAQs, and I saw that we could tell Baxter about the condo that he rented there was previously the mean old grandparents. how do we get the mc to tell him that? 

It happens in the DLC Moment “Late Shift”. If you don’t have a job you instead get a longer scene with Baxter.

I don’t know if you’ve addressed this or not, but are you planning on paying voice actors for our life: now and forever? 

Yeah, we pay our VAs in all our projects.

hey can i ask how you did the moments thing in ol? im trying to get into making visual novels and while im VERY sure its out of my comfort zone and all that atm i kinda wanna know just for the future, bc im p sure it would work well for something i wanna do :O but its also fine if you cant say for other reasons :> 

I’m afraid I’m not sure what you mean. Are you asking how we programmed the screen or something script related? Adding Moments like that is pretty straightforward, though. You just have buttons that open to different labels and then the scripts are essentially individual short stories/vignettes. Good luck with your VN!

Since Autumn becomes gender fluid later in the game, will there be a character who remains as he/him to romance in game? 

OL1 has the he/him LIs, OL2 is all about other genders.

I don't want to impose on your creative plans, but a parrot could possibly make a good pet in an OL-type game? They're pretty long-lived and likely to still be thriving by the end even if the MC got them back in step 1. 

I do appreciate the suggestion, but I’m afraid it’s not likely going to happen. I understand there are technically some animals that could theoretically live long enough to last the whole game that or we could have the MC only get a pet after some years have already passed. But the many things that would have to be considered/accommodated for makes it just something we probably can’t manage adding. I’m sorry.

As time passes will we be able to see Qiu and Tamarack's other stage arts as well?

They are both so cute i can't wait to be friends with them!

Yeah, we’ll show content from other Steps in the future. It’ll be a little while from now, though.

Can you date Cove and still have your family comfort you in the car?

You can’t get Cove’s Step 3 confession scene if you have the family comfort you in the car. But that’s not the only way to date him. You can get together with him earlier in the game or later on in Step 4.

Is Mc always going to be the one walking down the aisle or could Cove do it? Also could you choose to have one of your moms walk you? 

No. Cove wouldn’t want to walk down the aisle like that and the MC automatically respects that. And the MC also gets to have their preferences respected, so it’s up to you whether they want to do an aisle walk or not. You also can pick who, if anyone, walks with you.

Once step 4 is out, will you be able to go the whole game on crush/love without either of you confessing? 

Yes, as long as you tell the game you don’t want to progress the relationship. Even in Step 4 it won’t force you to officially get together.

Howdy, so in Step 4, there will be any Romance with Derek that is not part of any dlc? 

He’s only a friend unless you get his romance story.

Will the step 4 in OL2 be one big step or are you considering moments? 

Step 4 is just an epilogue in both games.

hi kind of a weird question but!! we know tht cliff doesn't start dating again but. wht abt flings? like does he ever do 1 night stands or anything? thank u!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Nope. Cliff has a very small interest in sex. If he’s not in a real relationship with a partner he’s crazy about it simply isn’t something he feels a need for, so one night stands wouldn’t even cross his mind.

sorry if you've already answered this, but i was wondering if there were plans for there to be bonus love interests in OL2 like how we have derek and baxter in OL1.

Maybe! There are side characters who could be given romance stories, but whether or not it will happen depends on funding and how long everything else takes to finish.

I don't know if i'm allowed to ask about ol2 here yet, if not u can ignore this or answer it later. My question is can you date one of them and be good friends with the other? I don't want to be strangers with the other bcs i love them both a lot :<

Yes you can!

what patreon level do i have to be to unlock the nsfw moment? im on the $5 one right now, will that give me access to the moment, or just access to the moment progress? 

That’ll give you access! Tier 2 and anything higher allows the player to download it.

Tagging Directory

Feel free to look through if you want to know my tagging scheme! 

General Tags

All of my art work is tagged with “My Art”

I generally tag my fandom posts either with the name of the fandom, or generally with the acronym (so the magnus archives is ‘tma’ , our flag means death is ‘ofmd’)

My personal text posts tag is “The Prophet Speaks” and any asks i answer are just tagged with “asks”

For cats the tag is “I love cats so much”, for bats its “bats are cute” and… I just tag frog pictures as “frogs” lol.

I have tags for “asexuality” and “Judaism” as well, and probably some other tags im forgetting.

Content Warnings

In general, my tagging scheme for stuff i think needs a warning go in the format ‘ (insert topic here) cw’, so for example it’d be ‘unreality cw’

This page is generally sfw, but for things leaning nsfw I have the tags "suggestive content" and "nsfw text"

General fandom nonsense i try to tag with “discourse” but im trying to stay away from that stuff these days.

I try to tag most of the more obvious things, but forgive me if I forget (I have poor memory). If there’s something in particular you need tagged, feel free to ask! I’m chill with anything requested in good faith.

Fallen London Specific Tags

I tag all of the game’s content either with ‘Fallen London’ ‘(for reblogs and things I aim to go in the main tag) or ‘Prophet’s Fl Nonsense’ (for my own rambling postings that I don’t want to bother people with lol)

I also have tags for criticism, which I go with ‘Fl Crit’.

All of my ocs have their own tags. Format is ‘oc: name’ so if you wanna see specific posts about them thats it. I.e ‘oc: Alex’

I do tag general spoilers for the ambitions, ex ‘BaL Spoilers’, and i do tag for new content with ‘FL Spoilers’

I also really am not a fan of smen, so that has a specific tag of ‘smen negative’. I have many tags to it filtered and would generally prefer if its not brought up to me

Asexual MC HCs

MC comes out as asexual

im ace so why not do this. also wanna add not every ace person is the same its a spectrum and youre all valid so i kept this kindof vague i guess?

--------------------------------------------------------

Lucifer

Very good at being supportive

Offers to give you a hug

Let’s you explain your feelings to the extent you want

If you’re in a relationship his feelings don’t change at all

Extra careful about asking about boundaries

Mammon

When you explain it he’s really supportive

Telling you he’ll like you no matter what

When you mention there’s other labels under gray asexual like demi, he asks a lot about it

If you don’t know what your label specifically is he’s still very supportive of you

Really happy you trusted him enough to tell him

If you’re dating nothing changes he just makes sure to show his affection in other ways like cuddles, gifts, spending more time together

Leviathan

He’s also on the spectrum

When you try to describe your feelings without outright saying it he just blurts out “Same!” without thinking

You both went quiet for a second

Not the reaction you expected, but good nonetheless

You spend the night gaming and talking about your feelings together

Both leaving feeling validated and glad it went well

If you’re dating it was a great opportunity to figure out your relationship better

Satan

He’s heard of the ace spectrum before

He’s aware of how hard it can be to come out so he let’s you take your time explaining it

Let’s you know you’re still perfectly valid and he supports you

If you’re having trouble on a specific label he let’s you know you can take your time

If you’re dating he’ll keep in mind how to show you his affection better

Asmodeus

He catches on what you’re trying to say very fast

His feelings and emotions about you don’t change

Asks more about your feelings to know what would be crossing a barrier, like if he’s allowed to make suggestive jokes around you

Has a sixth sense for when someone’s being offensive over it to come stop them

If you’re dating it doesn’t effect him he still loves you

Beelzebub

Probably demi, not gonna lie

Gives you a hug while you’re talking

Relates to your feelings a lot, just didn’t notice

Gave you some of his favorite snacks to share

Belphegor

He was half asleep when you walked in

Once he realized how nervous you where he woke up all the way

Offered to cuddle if you want

Makes sure you know his feelings about you don’t change

If you’re dating it doesn’t change anything, he’s still very supportive of you

Diavolo

When he noticed how nervous you where he calmed down and let you take your time

He knows about how difficult it can be for humans to come out and told you it’s ok to be who you are

Made sure to show you a lot of support

If you’re dating he puts a lot more emphasis on spending time together how you want to

Barbatos

You told him you wanted to talk when you showed up at the palace

He made some tea for both of you

He gave you a warm smile while you where talking, in a way he rarely does

Let you talk through it and gave reassurance every time you looked to him for comfort

If you’re dating hes perfectly fine with following your boundaries

Simeon

He’s very supportive of you finding your label

Being the angel he is he knows just what to say when you start to doubt yourself

He sits with you for comfort and brings you some of Luke’s sweets

If you struggle with your label he’s there for support

If you’re dating he let’s you decide the boundaries and his feelings never falter

Solomon

He noticed the tenseness in the room

Let you say what you had to

Told you it’s okay and he’ll support you no matter what

Even if you’re unsure of your label he’s there for comfort and guidance if you want it

If you’re dating he makes sure to show his affection for you more obviously if you start to doubt

[skitter-kitter]

🌼🍀🦚🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈 for the queer asks? Sorry if it's a bit much :D

If you used any other labels before your current one, what were they?

Demisexual and aroace. now im aromantic and/or just plain old Queer

What thoughts or emotions that didn’t make sense to your past self make sense now that you know you’re queer?

Never had a crush. All emotions near it were performative at best

Are there any queer books/shows/etc. that you would suggest?

I don’t read or watch many shows but the book Missing, Presumed Dead by Emma Berquist (I think that’s her name) is really good. I wrote a short fic over it when I read it a few years back. pretty sure I’m still the only fic in that fandom lmao

Do you enjoy the colors of your preferred flag? Do you incorporate it into your outfits, decor, etc.?

I feel it’s important to mention that I didn’t order any flags. My friend got them for me as a gift lmao. I just hang them in my room and forget about it. I don’t really like the aro flag unfortunately

What Flag do you think has the best color scheme?

The asexual flag my beloved

What’s a Queer Identity, Experience or a piece of History you feel deserves more recognition?

this has nothing to do with the question but. did the phantom from the phantom of the opera awake something in anyone else

Queer asks

[sapphic-sex-ed]

i was wondering if you know a word or label that describes my experiences? im aro and I think hypersexual(I feel like I need to be sexualized to be good enough and am always thinking of sex/how I can make things sexual) I enjoy reading sexual fiction but looking at (most) art and especially real people make me extremely uncomfortable. It’s like I’m *completely* repulsed by it unless clothes are worn ..then I can appreciate the persons sexiness!… I’m repulsed by complete nudity although I enjoy fantasizing about it and want it(sex) I guess? I can think people are sexy! how can I tell if I genuinely experience attraction or if it’s just hypersexuality, my neurodiversity, of maybe I’m a late bloomer?? to be honest I would be hesitant to ID as ace because I would feel not good enough because ace is seen as lacking sexual attraction and I have that hypersexuality which makes me feel like I need to be sexualized and sexual

It sounds like you have lots of feelings that may seem contradictory towards sex. On the one hand, you seem to be a very sexual person, but on the other you are unsure if you experience sexual attraction at all or if you may be ace. I will do my best to advice you, but if you feel I missed anything or misrepresented/misinterpred your feelings/experiences pleas send us another ask.

Firstly, what you describe as hypersexuality doesn't sound like it to me. Hypersexuality is when you have such a strong urge to have sex or masturbate (or do have sex/masturbate) that it preocupies your mind - you can't get work done or keep friends etc because of it. It hurts you. Hypersexuality is usually a syptom of something else, like a thyroid disorder or trauma. There has been talk of making it its own disorder (hypersexual disorder/hyperphilia) but that does not exist as of now.

Instead what you describe - needing to be sexualized/"good enough" - could be attributed to coercive heteronormativity/comp het. Comp het is basically an expression for the way heteronormativity and amatonormativity affects women (cis and trans) and those percieved as women (some trans men and non binary people), especially queer ones. What is suggested by this concept is that women's role in western society is built aroound men and our relationship to them - women are expected to center men and are commonly defined by our relationships to them, romantic and sexual. So heteronormativity assumes all women (and those percieved as such) are to center men in sexual/romantic ways, while amatonormativity says that romantic relationships are surperior to other relationships, that they make us "whole". This hits queer women hard as we fall outside of heteronormativity - gay women don't want men at all, and bi/pan women may feel like their same-gender relationships are "fake" or that even though they are attracted to women they should prioritize relationships with men, may feel like they are faking their attraction to women, etc. Ace and aro women who don't want sexual and/or romantic relationships at all may feel broken or like they should be with men anyways cause that's what they "ought" to do. Of course these norms affect men and those percieved as men as well, but the main thought is that since men's role in western society has been more independent while women's role is centered around her male partner, these norms "hits" differently, so to speak. If you want to read more about coercive het and see a list of signs, you can do that here.

I also want to explicity point out that fantasizing about sex is nothing bad unless it causes you distress. Nor do you necissarily want to do all the things that you do in your fantasies in real life. Fantaies are just a fun thing to have in your brain! It's also worth mentioning that as you are young (from my interpretation) your hormones are heightened and you may think about sex a lot more than you will once the levels stabilize at the end of puberty, between 18-25.

You can also still be a sexual person and asexual. There is a difference between sexual attraction and sexual desire. Sexual desire is when you want to have sex in general. Sexual attraction is when you want to have sex with that person in particular. Some asexual people have strong sexual desire and will have sex even though they aren't attracted to their partenr(s) specifically, while some allosexual (not ace) people will have very low sexual desire and rarely have sex even though they are sexually attracted to people. Of course you can be ace and sex-averse, when you don't experience sexual attraction nor sexual desire, and sex may make you a bit uncomfortable.

It's never too early to ID as ace, either. If you feel like you are ace today, but don't feel like it next week, you can change the label. We use labels to communicate and if what you want to communicate changes, as will the label. We can never know how we wll feel in the future, so just think about how you feel right now.

I hope this was helpful to you.

I found out that I was ace at 14 and I still am at 20 but my mum has openly been aphobic on the phone in front of me so I don't want to come out to her bc the only people I tell are safe friends and my partner but I feel a HUGE pressure to all of the time because of 1) my uncle assumed I was asexual (bc im ugly and appr that means asexual) and he said it infront of my mum and 2) lgbt+ has a huge culture of coming out and I just feel pressure. What do u suggest?

You absolutely do not have to come out to anyone. You don’t even need a reason, even if there’s every reason to think they’d be supportive you still don’t have to tell them. But in this case when there’s a high chance that your mother will not be supportive? Not only do you not have to come out to her, I’d actually adivce against it, at least until you aren’t dependent on her anymore.

I know coming out is a huge thing in the lgtbqia+ community, and to be fair, for a lot of people the relief of coming out and that going well and not having to hide anymore is huge! But the fact that it can be very rewarding when it goes well doesn’t mean that everyone has to or even should come out to their families or to their friends or to any random stranger they meet. You can just never tell anyone, if you prefer, that’s fine too, and you don’t need to justify it.

As for your uncle... he clearly has no idea what asexuality actually is or possibly even that it is an actual sexual orientation. Idk why he’d say that (or why he’d say you’re ugly, like that’s just rude?) but yeah he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
