I only like men and for some reason I’m having a hard time with it.
I think I’m gay, not bisexual. And I have no issue embracing the word “gay.” But I’m having a hell of a time breaking down my internalized homophobia.
I question myself about what a gay man is “supposed” to look like. What life are gay men “supposed” to live? And when I answer them honestly to myself I see my deep rooted homophobia surface. I feel less normal, almost less of a person. Like a bad person, dirty even. And I know these feelings are wrong but they attack me.
not sfw: After having sexual encounters with both cis and trans men and a trans feminine person, I’ve realized that my attraction doesn’t include someone’s genitalia like I once thought. Even though the transfem person had a penis and the sex was similar to that of when I’m with cis men, I couldn’t get my mind off of how she wasn’t a man, that she was partially a woman. I like boobs and am attracted any genitalia, regardless of agab. But I’ve discovered recently that the attraction is only there when the person is somewhere on the spectrum from trans masculine non-binary to binary man. It has nothing to do with their bodies, it’s only based on gender.
sfw again: All this to say that I need help. I need someone to talk to. I don’t know where to go with this sort of thing. I feel wrong. I thought I was bi for so long, an entire decade. I know sexuality is fluid but it still hurts.
I apologize for the long post and how personal and venty this is. I’m just so lost.

How are you doing after finn’s hot ones interview? (I thought of you because I know you love him thought this might be a sensitive time lol)
omg thank you for thinking of me anon! <33
I actually just got to watching it as I've been busy with school and let me tell ya... my face hurts from smiling like a maniac the whole time.
I loved the interview and I love Finnnnnn! He's so cute & sweet & genuine & funny... I could go on but I'll stop there lol.
I'd never actually watched a Hot Ones interview in full before this but I was very impressed by the questions and just the overall vibe of the host. It probably won't be an interview I rewatch in full often, though, just because I feel uncomfortable watching the interviewees (in this case, Finn) become more uncomfortable (not actually uncomfortable but having a harder time ig). I know they signed up for it and all but my brain tells me they're in pain and I should stop watching. If that makes sense.
Anyways, to answer your question more directly I definitely freaked out a few times just cuz he's so funny and such a cutie. So I'd say I'm just hanging on... this man confuses my aroace-ism so much it should honestly be a crime. ALSO HIM COMING OUT WITH A SOLO ALBUM THIS YEAR IS CRAZY WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS ALREADY WTF???
I also wanna say that I mayhaps have had a mini-freak-out-moment when the "Chris! You're coming home with me!" clip was released yesterday... cuz omg
I probably wrote way more than you expected but thank you sm for the ask, anon! ILY <3333

Hinata drank entirely too much at the new years party she was invited to. So many people kept offering her drinks, and being as polite as she was, she couldn't refuse them. That and she didn't want to seem unfun when all of her friends were drinking and having a good time.
It was just... Hinata had no idea how much of a lightweight she was. Within a few drinks, she was giggling, and flirting. Pressing herself against the first man that would show her attention. She was so not being herself. Completely out of it. Acting a bit naughty. Perhaps something was slipped into her last drink because she felt hot all over. Needy. Needy enough that she found herself on a stranger's lap, grinding on him with a drunk smile on her face,
"O-oh my... Y-you feel so big, Mister.~" Hinata slurred, feeling him through his pants.

Hello! I'd like to request "There's an 80% chance of this working out" from List 5 with Mahiru and Mikoto! Horoscope Girl and Tarot Boy...what will they do...
Ooh this one was so fun, thank you!! It was really neat learning about tarot :0 (It'll take a bit longer, but I got carried away with the idea and also started writing something of Mikoto doing a reading for Fuuta hehe). It always makes me sad that Mahiru doesn’t trust Mikoto at first, so it was really fun to picture them bonding over things like this during T1! I never thought of them having that in common and my mind has been opened to this duo asdfsdfds
“Alright, I’m going to need you to manifest your energy as hard as you can.”
Mahiru squeezed her eyes shut. Her face scrunched up in concentration. She let out a little hum of effort as she poured all her emotions into the card deck under her fingertips.
“Uh… maybe not that hard, Mappi.”
She looked up with a giggle. “Right, right! I’m just so curious!” Well, she was curious about how a tarot reading itself would go, not about what it would tell her. Mahiru was fairly confident of her upcoming verdict, and the cards would only confirm it. So far only one prisoner had been named guilty, and everyone could see he was just a bully. Mahiru was nothing like him. She would be forgiven. She just knew it.
Mikoto started shuffling the cards. “Are you ready?”
“Oh, yes!”
To be honest, she’d had her suspicions about Mikoto for a while. His smile was too perfect at all hours of the day. (Even someone as cheery as her knew a smile like that couldn’t be consistently real.) She’d seen enough cheaters who chatted as easily as he could with everyone here. His nicknaming habit was a cute one, but she was keeping her eye on how informally he acted with little basis for friendship. She knew for sure he was a dangerous flirt when he’d grabbed her palm to read her fortune, launching into talk of life and love lines. However, none of that meant he was lying about his tarot expertise -- so who was she to refuse his offer to read her cards?
Her eyes glimmered as she watched Mikoto lay out three cards before her. Though he used the same theatrics he had for the others, she was just as entranced. It was just so magical, she thought.
Mikoto circled his palms over the cards. “We’re going to begin by looking at the past and present to get a bit of perspective before we move on to what your future will hold, alright?” He’d already explained that the cards couldn’t read one’s future as much as they offered self-awareness. He said it was all about being in tune with oneself, and the world. She was sure someone like him was already perfectly aligned within himself, but she could admit her heart carried her away at times…
Mahiru held her breath as he flipped the first card. She studied his face for any trace of negativity. Seeing her worry, he slipped back into his usual smile. “For the past, we have the Reversed Page of Cups,” he said. “This suit deals with emotions and intuition.”
Mahiru nodded, excited at the accuracy. Her past certainly had its share of intense feelings.
“This card in particular may mean emotional insecurity, or immaturity. It could also point to an avoidance of reality, something that’s not being faced head-on.”
She nodded, with a little less excitement this time.
“It also represents a specific person who influences you.” His face lit up, recalling Mahiru’s favorite topic. “Pages can represent a companion! Is there a romantic someone in your life who may have been causing some emotional insecurity?”
Picking up on the way her face paled, he said quickly, “or maybe not! They could be a messenger, or a childlike figure, or…” He reached for the next card. “Moving on, uh, to the present. Ah! This is a really good sign.”
She perked up.
“Here’s Justice. It’s fairly self-explanatory, representing the consequences that follow your actions. It’s about cause and effect, and accountability. It means things are happening according to karma, which is natural.”
He turned over the last card. “And finally, when looking to the future, we’ve got the Two of Swords. Swords deal with the mind -- conflict and communication. That’s… interesting.”
Mahiru’s eyes grew round. “What’s interesting?” She slid the card closer to herself, studying the picture. A blindfolded woman with two swords. There was water, and the moon. Was that bad? Was the woman unhappy? She was all alone. What did that mean?
“Don’t worry,” Mikoto soothed. “It just means you’ll make a big choice. Well, actually, it means you’ll get stuck, so you need to make a choice. I just thought it was funny, we’re here wondering about Es’ decision, but it turns out you’re the one who needs to make a decision.”
“Ah,” she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Now we can look at the big picture. It seems like some of your past problems may have come from emotional issues, so you’ll want to keep an eye on your emotions going forward.” Mahiru shifted. “The fact that we pulled Justice should reassure you about being here. I’ve heard some of the others complain that they don’t belong here, or it’s all a mistake, but this card is showing you that it’s just cause and effect. The events of your life are running their natural course.”
It was true, even she had been unhappy that her actions were being labeled that of a murderer. After all, those were an entirely different breed of people, right? Someone like Fuuta, who was guilty. People like her and Mikoto could never raise a hand to another. It was good to know, then, that this was all meant to be.
“And going forward, you’re gonna want to make sure you’re being decisive. Face your problems head-on, and communicate. If you can do that, things will be alright.” He folded his hands on the table, finished his reading.
Mahiru thought for a moment. A smile crept onto her face, growing larger and brighter by the second. She clasped her hands together. “That’s wonderful! Thank you so much for doing this. It’s told me everything I need to know.”
“Yeah?” He picked the cards up, shuffling them back into the deck. She pulled a slip of paper from her pocket, pointing to some lines scribbled down.
“Yes. I’ve been jotting down some birthdays, see? I’ve had to make a few guesses until I get more information, but if Es is either a Scorpio or a Virgo… as a Capricorn myself… we’re very compatible, look! Capricorns have excellent communication with both of those signs, and you said that’s what I’ll need to get through this tough decision.” She turned the paper over to reveal more notes. “On top of that, my extraction is scheduled right before my birthday, during Capricorn’s governing period. At that time, things will be aligned more in my favor.”
Mikoto’s eyebrows raised at her notes, impressed. “Wow! You have this all worked out, huh? If that’s the case, you seem very prepared to have a successful interrogation.”
She steepled her fingers. “I’d say there’s an 80% chance of this working out!”
“Definitely!”
He returned her beaming smile. Things would be perfect. Nothing to worry about.
