1: I still have a lot of compulsory romantic thoughts stuck in my head

that I'm slowly straining out

like a guy with a net straining leaves out of his pool

Still keep on defaulting to romantics when making characters for various projects despite thinking "UGH I'm gonna have to actually WRITE a ROMANCE SCENE" every time

I don't actually have to do that

I can just not

I get now why some of my friends are like "Sorry I can't play men anymore."

"Can't do it."

"Impossible"

It's exhausting to pretend to care about this shit

2: Do other people find themselves occasionally compiling a "if I had to pick a dude/chick" list, or do I have to bite the bullet and accept that I might be slightly bisexual?

I think if there's a list it's probably a tick in the bisexual column, but that's just my opinion

JUST A LITTLE BIT

Just a smidge

It's also my opinion that gender-attraction is more like a bell curve

So you can in fact be "a little bisexual"

I think what it means, and this is a very Quinn answer,

is that all binary labels of human behavior and identity are lies

it's all continuums

Exactly

SOME PEOPLE ARE HOT is all I am saying

Most of them are girls

most

Yeah, my guess on that would be "bi, strongly leaning towards women", but it's ultimately less important to narrow down an Exact Correct Label and more important that you're happy and comfortable.

I am not comfortable at all because I have a pounding headache

but that's an unrelated issue

imho labels don't need to be exact, they just need to communicate to other people what's important to you

I ID as a lesbian because I'm only interested in girls, I only want to pursue romance with ladyfolk,
I very occasionally find a boy hot
I don't ID as bi because what I'm communicating to other people is "I am interested in women"

if courtney can have a boyfriend then you can call yourself whatever you want

That's a good way to look at it

to me, labels are a tool, and you are using that tool to communicate things to other people,

and that's the end of it

so you don't need to sweat little things like "what if I'm a little bit X" or "what if this contradicts my identity as Y"

because in the end you're still communicating what you want

and if that changes then it changes, no biggie,
if it's a little contradictory, well, who cares? you're communicating what you wanna communicate with it

Labels are labels and hot people are hot people

The world contains a multitude of options to behold with your eyeballs and then nod to yourself and go “nice” about

It's less about the labels and more about like

"Well would I?"

"If Toshiro Mifune time traveled here from 1950 and kabedoned me what would I do?"

I dunno man but it would be an intense experience

Thinking/ looking and physical action are two very different things that’s true

Fortunately (?), that specific scenario is unlikely to come up

I started thinking about Toshiro Mifune and my brain shorted out for like ten minutes

Meanwhile I'm having a gender crisis over tiefling art. I think you're valid, and that's all that matters.

To me at least!

I mean, extremely valid, we've seen photos of him.

I'm fairly certain that being attracted to Toshiro Mifune is simply part of the human experience

he's SO good looking!

wait who is that again /googles

Oh
