Making your entire personality about how gay you are isn't going to make you a good influencer.

Lmao I’m not trying to be an influencer. In fact, I really don’t want to be one. I would rather never use social media ever again in my life, but if I want to make it as a writer then I have to have some sort of presence.

Besides, I’m gay af. What’s the point of being gay if you can’t flaunt it once in a while?

I have no idea where this vulgar thing came from. Leading suspects are a demon or an alien that somehow got into my studio. Advice? I would never, ever, ever, give anyone any advice on anything!

If you're going to eat an unknown plant, don't swallow it, spit it out after you've tried it out.

I'd recommend against eating unknown plants flat out, but if you're going to do it anyways, this is what I learned to do.

How did you accept your kinks? I have trouble accepting mine because I feel like I'm a freak.

First of all...don't call yourself that, Anon. Please be nice to yourself. Trust me. Second of all...keep in mind, with all I'm going to say, I'm not a therapist. I'm not a psychiatrist or a psychologist. I don't really have a deep, complete, thorough understanding of the human animal or brain, and everything that goes on in there. I don't even completely understand why I'VE got the interests I do, in the ways I do, let alone why it might be that way for others. So, what I have to say may not be the most helpful thing TO say. WITH ALL THAT SAID, IN PROPER ANSWER TO THE QUESTION...for starters, Anon, you kind of have to accept that EVERYONE is "a freak." Because trust me, not only are there a LOT of people who are into things you are, but there are also a LOT of people who are into stuff that you would probably find weird yourself, or just not understand the appeal of. That doesn't necessarily make them "freaks," either. People are just...kind of weird. I don't honestly think that an actual "normal" human being EXISTS. Not everyone may be into the things you are, you may not be into the things a lot of other folks are either, but I am at least 95% sure that just about everybody on the planet has their own unique "interests." Ultimately, the important thing about these bizarre fascinations we have, as people, is the recognition of two simple facts. First, that they are usually meant to be at least somewhat private - not something you talk about openly with just anybody - and that's okay. There is nothing wrong with keeping secrets, having parts of your life closed off, not sharing things about yourself with some people, even people you really trust or care about otherwise. There are lots of reasons why... ...And that kind of leads into the second point, and the most important: recognizing fantasy from reality. There is merit to the old adage, "It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt." Because...yeah. That's actually the truth. If things you are into could be LEGITIMATELY DAMAGING to yourself or to others, THAT'S when they become a problem. But as long as they are being handled in a safe, intelligent way that won't likely hurt anybody - as long as the recognition is there between yourself and the people who partake in whatever you're experiencing that no actual, real, living people are being harmed by what you are into, why you are into it, and how you enjoy it; that there is a level of consent and reasonability there - then there's no reason to feel a great deal of guilt. Whether it's between you and a partner or friend, or you and your readers/viewers, there's a sense that both sides of the equation are trusting the other and understand "this is all make-believe, and everyone will be okay when it's over." Sadly, not everyone is going to see it that way. There are, simply put, a lot of people out there who will make rash, uninformed, sometimes illogical judgments about people, in general, for...just about every reason under the Sun. There will also be people who make bad decisions, and don't recognize the necessaries of that understanding I mentioned. You frankly can't do anything to stop that. That's just the way the world works: just as there are people who are accepting, intelligent, and understanding, there are people who can be ignorant, foolish, and impatient, and you sometimes won't know who they are till you find out the hard way. That fact is NOT on you. It is on THEM. Let them be the ones who make asses of themselves (and not in the fun way), because trust me, they usually will. All you can do is...enjoy the things you enjoy, and share them with the people you feel comfortable sharing them with. Don't think too much about the whys or what ifs. Just know that you aren't alone, and as long as the things you love aren't hurting anybody or causing anyone actual, dangerous problems, you're okay.

Again, I don't know if anything I said here is helpful, but...that's kind of the best advice I can offer.

TW suicide

my biggest conspiracy theory is that suicide helpline/crisis lines are purposely obtuse / useless, so that you’re so baffled by their advice that you forget that you wanted to die in the first place

My terrible advice of the day:

If you are ever called a beta male you should respond like so "I'll have you know I'm an OMEGA and I'm in heat, you'd know that if YOU were an alpha."
