Yeah Theres The Whole Stalkery Thing Going On - Tumblr Posts

So my family was going on a long car trip, just over a year ago. The trip was long enough that we had to bring entertainment, so I was watching Twilight.

digression: I feel like people really overrate how bad it is. Like yeah, it’s not especially good, but it’s not that bad either. digression ends.

I was watching Bella’s first day at school, excited to see Edward - I had read the book, and she loves him so she hyped him up a lot. My certainty that Edward would be beautiful was only strengthened by the fact that Bella was gorgeous.

So I was immensely let down when Bella saw Edward from across the cafeteria and. well. He was okay, I guessed, but I didn’t see what all the fuss was about.

Piece by piece, my mind came to the realization that, hey - if they were both supposed to be super beautiful by conventional standards, but I wasn’t feeling Edward’s attraction at all - and if my two video game crushes had both been effeminate/not super gendered at all - maybe I just wasn’t attracted to men.

hey tumblr, wanna hear how i discovered i wasn’t straight?
