RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Hi, so I'll call the girl "Alice". Alice is this really cool girl I'm seeing. Wonderful, really. She'll be my girlfriend once we go on a few more dates. However, I don't know if I should let her know my true self. I am secretly into claymation yaoi between the characters of Wallace and Gromit, Flushed Away, etc.

Like, come on! Wallace and Victor Quartermaine is so cute. Victor Quartermaine and the Vicar!? Spike and Whitey!? Spike and Ladykiller!? And don't get me started on Dr. Fry and Reginald Smith and Mr. Tweedy from Chicken Run!

It's embarrassing, and I'm afraid the girl I'm seeing will think I'm weird, but she'll love me no matter what if she's the one, right?

Yea, wait a while before you bring this up. No harm.

maybe after some time you don't even have to bring it up anymore as some "this is me". Maybe with some time in a happy relationship it becomes a thing of the past. so, my take would be "let it happen, don't scare her away and try to find luck in the relationship, maybe you can leave it behind"
