If this actually happens it'll be the fastest a ship of mine has ever come true
Though I doubt it'll be that easy.
But oh I can hope!
EDIT: Also I just noticed, My kindness Shawna? Hehehe, she try to cover it up with any but to late.

Re: How I Treated You 2018-12-14
I agree with your assessment here. Sorry to rain on the shipping parade but this smacks of something... uh... that I can’t really put to words in a succinct or eloquent manner.
It is similar to something that has been a concern in my current relationship - my girlfriend has... had bad luck with people. Her dad left her on her mom’s porch after she refused to steal stuff from her mom for him, she was a victim of a cyber predator as a minor, her brother is a conniving manipulative honorless little shit, and her last boyfriend raped her and manipulated her severely... and her sister is worse than her brother, and her mom is worse than her sister, with the added bonus of being a pathological liar and emotionally abusive to the point of saying she wished my girlfriend had never been born.
So when I came along, she... kinda latched on, and that’s understandable... problem is, I frequently fear that she is sacrificing herself and/or things important to her (like how she wants to have kids) for fear of losing me.
(I absolutely do not want kids and I will not take kindly to anyone who tries to convince me otherwise - you have been warned. I have my reasons. Do not test my patience. I’ve heard it all already, don’t embarrass yourself by trying.)

Re: How I Treated You 2018-12-14
My relationship with Annie had a similar start- she moved in to get away from an abusive and manipulative husband. Said husband and I came to an understanding… REAL QUICKLY... as in halfway through a hammerlock... and he has been a non-issue ever since. No matter what I do, Annie has seen worse... and I do not abuse this. If anything, I spoil her. Whatever the future holds for you two is up for grabs- but you both are damaged goods and it appears you are BOTH what each other needs RIGHT NOW. Care for each other, listen to each other and things will sort of their own accord.GlytchMeister wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 4:47 amI agree with your assessment here.

Re: How I Treated You 2018-12-14
Paul is choosing to focus on lesbian relationships in part because they are severely underrepresented in mass media, as are women in general.
Plus, lgbtq people are WAY more common than I would have instinctively thought. Now that I’m out of high school and have been getting the hang of social interaction (because that shit certainly wasn’t facilitated in school), combined with the fact that I actively make sure people know I’m safe to come out to and won’t be a dick about it through words, actions, and reputation... I’ve noticed it’s actually pretty common compared to how often it’s portrayed in movies, tv, and books. Media is only just starting to catch up with reality.

Re: How I Treated You 2018-12-14
I forget where, but I have more than once read the opposite... that gays were (much?) more present in media, compared to their proportion of the population.GlytchMeister wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 2:05 pm Paul is choosing to focus on lesbian relationships in part because they are severely underrepresented in mass media, as are women in general.
Re: How I Treated You 2018-12-14
Overall I suspect that gay men are slightly over-represented, and gay women under-represented. I have no data to back up that suspicion though.
My gripe is that it seems to be all-or-nothing most of the time - in any given universe odds are that either pretty much everyone age 14-30 is gay, or nobody is. And bisexual, poly, and transgender or genderfluid is extremely rare except in fiction about being in one of those categories.
(Yes there are exceptions - they aren't exactly scarce. But in my observation most fiction, even most recent fiction, still fits that description.)

Re: How I Treated You 2018-12-14
Except that test is ludicrous, as almost any normal conversation between two (or more) women will end up with men as part of the conversation in some form or another.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Oh... when you have time to hit a library, chase down a Theodore Sturgeon collection that has his story Slow Sculpture.
