Lito was pretty sly with that kiss on the bartender. I originally thought the same as you at first but I liked it, very smooth, lol.

2025-09-23 01:28:50 +0000 UTCas a bisexual woman, I want to tell you that we all have gaydar but mine appears to have always been broken lol in all seriousness, you just get a feeling (or you don't, and that's okay too). I used to have no idea when someone was flirting with me when I was young but now, at 42 years-old, I just get a vibe and decide whether or not I want to go for it. sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. it's a gamble and I usually only take the gamble when I'm in queer or predominantly queer spaces.

2025-09-03 23:04:06 +0000 UTCI just binged all your reactions in one evening and noooooo. I need episode 11 now T_T. So many beautiful scenes in these last two episodes. I have autism and am usually a very un-emotional person but Nomi's talk with Leto had me crying my eyes out, and then to get hit back to back with both Riley talking about the loss and the grief of missing her husband and child, to Capheus telling her about his sister?! I was an absolute mess of snot and tears the first time I watched this. On my second rewatch I cried the most. I was reminded of how a friend and I used to exchange books with each other every week since we were little. We'd visit each other's houses and ''pick a book from the library'' (our bookcases) that we each had in our rooms. I was hit so hard with a sense of LOSS and never being able to do that again that I had to pause the episode. Grief really does tear holes into your life, and into your future. I still have the last book he ever lent me. But I haven't read it. His parents said I could keep it. So it's on my bookshelf. 5 years have gone by and I just can't bring myself to read it. It's the last new memory I'll ever make with him. And as soon as I read that book and finish it. I'll have to come to terms with the fact that my friend is dead. And that I'll never read with him again. I hope I can find the courage one day to do it. But right now? I just can't. And it still makes me cry every time I rewatch it. Recently my emotional support animal died. It was the morning of my exams. My sister was hospitalised due to a psychosis and my parents were in complete and utter distress distress. But, I had to sit down to write the most important exams of my life. I don't think I have ever felt such extreme sadness in my life. I wanted to stop existing. It has been almost a year and I still wake up in the night sweating and crying, mourning that I might have noticed something was wrong if I hadn't been so preoccupied with my studies. I don't deal well with grief. I don't know what to do with such a strong overwhelming emotion so I tend to try and push thoughts of death far far away where I can't reach them. You talked a lot about how you appreciated an older more experienced person giving advice to a younger person. Sorry if this was a massive trauma dump. But how do you (Frank, or anyone that reads this) work through feeling grief? How do you come to terms with it? I'd love to know. I've been struggling a lot with it. On a different note, episode 10's birth sequence is so strangely beautiful to me I find it hard to describe. It makes me respect my mother so much more, and it genuinely fills me with wonder that I EXIST?! That i made it onto earth. That my mother survived such a horrible ordeal to get me here. I never want to have children. Ever. But I find the miracle of birth both horrifying and beautiful at the same time. I was in tears.

2025-09-03 09:01:10 +0000 UTC57:34 My little cousin lived with us for a little while. My brother was 5 and she was 2. Their school had both of their "classes". So for a time they went to the same school. My brother loved her like a little sister. He adored her. Then one day she went back home. My mom was told by his therapist that he had been grieving, that in his eyes she had died. He was devastated and cried daily for a while. He worked his way through the acceptance that that relationship was done and they are no longer that close.

2025-08-31 01:06:22 +0000 UTCFun fact, when sense8 was cancelled fans sent in tons of flip flops to Netflix to protest, in honor of Lito and his missing flip flop in his crash out scene 😂 it worked kind of! We got a finale movie because of all the fan campaigning, so at least the show doesn’t end on a cliff hanger.

2025-08-30 02:24:35 +0000 UTCI'm a bi/pan/queer person (personally use bi most often but am open to any gender) and notoriously bad at spotting any flirting of any kind from any gender 😂 So not at all until someone tells me or asks me out directly, or I just shoot my shot and hope for the best. Thankfully, I have never had an experience worse than the other person saying "no". I usually know the person already a little bit before I ask them out, and because I have a very queer friend group, most people I meet are either okay with it or are themselves queer. But if you are not in a strictly queer space, it is always a gamble. And if I ask someone out, I wouldn't approach it as "are they queer or not" but "I'm interested in getting to know this person". So I ask them if they would like to go on a date. And I have had dates with women who identify as straight but were curious, or people who were unsure at the time on how they identify, or some who just wanted to go on a date in general. Most of them did not work out in a romantic capacity but I got some fun and some weird experiences out of it, and sometimes new friends. What I'm trying to say is, my approach to dating is a very "me" centred one, and I worry about the consequences or the reaction of other people to my interest in them only in the aftermath. Not always the best strategy, but I live by the saying "I would rather regret having done it than live with the doubt of never knowing for sure."

2025-08-29 16:23:55 +0000 UTCYup, as a gay man, approaching another man could get you killed if they're the wrong type. My boyfriend does not "seem" gay, and I'd never have had the courage to approach him if we didn't meet on a dating app, because I wouldn't have known he could be interested.

2025-08-29 15:25:36 +0000 UTCI can only speak to my experience as a queer cis man, but if I’m being honest I never know for sure if someone is queer or not. I mean there are stereotypes and some of them are kinda true and can help, but literally anyone can be queer if we’re being real so it usually comes down to conversation. Now when it comes to discerning who’s interested in me or communicating that interest, it’s really all in the eyes. I feel especially in the gay male scene (even more esp if you’re cruising 😬), there’s a certain eye contact that just says “yeah, im looking at you” and you either engage or don’t. Back in the day there were signals like certain piercings or bandanas or other stuff too.

2025-08-29 15:19:36 +0000 UTCJumper was such an underrated film. I think it got a lot of hate too because it had Hayden Christensen, who everyone shitted on for the Star Wars prequels. The book was also fantastic. If you enjoyed Jumper, there is a series on Youtube called "IMPULSE," which is a continuation/sub-story of Jumper. Only, it's a young teenager who discovers she can Jump. I think I liked it better than Jumper, and rewatch it a lot. It sadly didn't renew after the second season. 😭

2025-08-29 09:27:51 +0000 UTCI feel like it's really hard to figure out who you might approach as a queer person, especially if you're not in specifically queer places. That's to be honest usually where I met people who I in the end became interested in, people I already knew were queer because I met them on Christopher Street Days or in queer youth group. But then outside of it you truly never know. And you might think you have a feeling on it maybe, like a gaydar xD, but in the end it's all just stereotypes, like the gay voice or whatever else there might be. I remember when I was younger I assumed often that alternative looking people would either be pretty open or maybe queer, like people with colorful hair, piercing, lots of tattoos, certain style, stuff like that. Of course that's not true that these people are necessary queer, but I think in that time I used to have a lot of friends with that style who were also queer. And then in uni I had a girl in my class who exactly fit this style, I thought she was cute and was over the weeks kinda gearing up to maybe try to get a bit closer and then in a talk with her and some friend of mine it just turned out she had a boyfriend and was tbh even a bit homophobic :/ Like not full on but she definitely found it weird that basically all of my friends from this class and me were queer. So yeah, you can always try to assume, but in the end best case scenario is they just say they're not interested, but worst case scenario is they're homophobic as fuck and it doesn't end well.

2025-08-29 09:03:32 +0000 UTCI am ASD and queer, and I mention the former only because it helps explain why I am a scientist of spotting fellow queers yet absolutely worthless when it comes to being able to gauge someone else's potential interest in me. When it comes to spotting another queer person, a lot of skill (for me and many others) comes from being incredibly observant around pattern recognition. A gait. A syntax. The tucking or untucking of a shirt. A tendency to fail earnestly at some particular aspect of "normal appearance" or behavior. And here is where that bartender may have had some skill too: Some "gay-dar" is more like "closeted-dar." You can recognize patterns retroactively, when you consider the behavior and presentation of now-out people from the before times. Perhaps it was the way Lito spoke in heightened metaphor. Or how he cried about lost love without ever naming the love. Or just how he ordered margaritas with salted rims, no shots, no beer. The bartender might have seen some of himself in any or all of those choices.

2025-08-29 08:19:58 +0000 UTCIf I had 6 tequila shots in a row I’d die haha also I don’t think he paid for those. Oh Lito. Poor dude. Love this show. The second hand embarrassment of the air kissing is killing me haha but it’s super sweet too. Flirting when queer is endlessly tricky. Kinda boils down to being able to throw out and pick up hints. Like media or topics that are queer and then going from there as you get green flags. As someone else said it’s tricky with women cuz we can be more casually affectionate and it can be hard to figure out the vibe lol.

2025-08-29 06:37:11 +0000 UTCyeah i figured u didn't realize it in ep9 during the scene at the graves that it was riley's husband AND her child that died when u didn't say anything lol. glad the next one cleared it up.

2025-08-29 03:59:04 +0000 UTCTo answer your first question as lesbian, there's the stereotypes like you said. There used to be better ways to signaling before the internet--if you look up "polari", it's a whole language for gay/lesbian people who were closeted during the 1950's and before that is super cool to learn about. In the 70-80's, bandanas used to be a signal (color, placement, etc) earring placement, mentions of certain queer things like lavender, being a "friend of Dorothy", specific bands or bars, etc. As far as ever hitting on someone and being wrong, it can actually be harder as a lesbian sometimes because girls are naturally affectionate with each other so sometimes it's hard to be like, "YES, homo" 😂. On the opposite side, guys are more likely to be physically threatened if wrong... The term "gay panic" originally started as a horrible excuse straight or closeted people used to justify violence and sometimes even murder of queer people who had "come on to them" (either real or fake).
