Any media with characters of the same pronound/gender as me makes me uncomfortable

I was wondering if anyone can relate: I know I'm aroace (aegoro), but I do still enjoy engaging with romance/sex related media (books, ff, movies, etc...).

So I'm AFAB and go by She/Her, but i've found that the only kind of media that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable is mlm (or enby/enby or any combination)(ftm doesn't fall into this). The second she/her or any female body(parts) is mentioned, I get incredibly uncomfortable and I feel grossed out. (again, for some reason ftm doesn't fall into this)

I obviously feel bad because I worry that I am one of those 'straight women fetishising gay men'. I'm starting to think that its because i'm afab and she/her makes it feel more real, and as I said, i'm pretty sure i'm aegoro because I like romance in theory, but not in person. I think if anyone of any pronouns/gender/sex appraoched me irl i'd be uncomfortable.

I also want to say that I do enjoy wlw ships, they just make me uncomfortable (and I feel horrible about it; lesbians are so underrepresented)

does anyone else have experiences like this? I don't have anyone irl who would either have the same experiences or understand enough to hear me out before judging me.

Help edit the blur fandom wiki page

Hey guys, to anyone out there with an ounce of Blur knowledge, come help edit the Blur fandom wiki page! https://blur-band.fandom.com/wiki/Blur_Wiki

I'm trying my best to revive it (and do things like copy over stuff from Veikko's fanpage that has since been deleted), but I need more help than just myself. I'm the only current active admin so in case anyone has questions.

Thanks!! :3 x

Are people serious with what they say they'd do to celebrity crushes?

hey guys!! So question here: Whenever I'm online or on TikTok or something, and I see someone talking about their (celebrity) crush, most people talk literally about either getting in a relationship with them or having sex with them. You know the whole "give me 5 minutes and a hair tie" stuff.

My question is whether those people are actually being serious in that they would genuinely get into a (sexual) relationship with those people or if its a joke? If I say anything like that its always a joke because, frankly, the thought of actually doing those things to that person ruins the attractive/crush aspect of things

I'm fairly sure I'm aroace, but is this another sign? Can anyone relate?

What's the likelihood of blur coming back?

new fan here! What's the likelihood of blur coming back? I don't know the full history of the band, but I know they broke up for a while and came back in 2023. I only ask because Damon did a cover of out of time yesterday in Istanbul. I'm very late to the blur party and I have major FOMO :<

Why are some songs spelled with a Z and some with an S?

Why do some songs switch out the s for a z, but some not? I'm sorta new here so is this just like a stylistic thing?

For example:

- Sorcerez

- Circle of Friendz

- Saturnz Barz

And:

- Fire Flies

- Kansas

- etc.

Does anyone know where to find downloads of the stuff on the CD-ROM of Celebrity Takedown? I bought the DVD set but they're too old and my computer doesn't read them. I'm specifically looking for the wallpapers & screensavers but anything from the CD would be great!!

How do I figure out if I am aromantic?

I'm still figuring out if I'm on the aro (and ace) spectrum, but I have a question: Whenever I think I've finally found someone with whom I would feel comfortable doing like 'relationship stuff' with (this has happened all of twice) I always realise that it's with a version of them I've made in my head. There's a girl I feel comfortable around, and when I think of doing anything, I have the realisation that I was just stuck up in my head, and in reality, I am not comfortable with that. I also couldn't really care less if anything happened between us, its really just the idea that I *might* be comfortable doing that sort of thing. I've played around with the aegoromantic label before, but does anyone have any thoughts?

TL:DR: I like romance in my head. But everytime I think of doing that stuff with a real life person, its always a made up version of them in my head, and I feel uncomfortable with their 'real' self.

Does anyone know what audio is at the end of Ptolemaea?

I know this is a long stretch, but at the end of Ptolemaea (around the 6:16 mark), there is this basically unintelligible audio clip that almost sounds like a radio broadcast? I'm just curious if hayden has ever explained what that was? It's too muffled to make out anything, its just nagging me that I don't know what it is...
