Dear Daenerys

Dear Daenerys,

I recently walked in on my boyfriend of three years naked with another woman. I was hurt, of course, but deep down I still love him, and I know that he still loves me. He swears it was a mistake and that it won’t happen again. Should I trust him?

Sincerely,

Feeling Betrayed

Dear Feeling Betrayed,

WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS?

Dear Daenerys,

My wife and I have been married for a year now. We’re both 24, just starting our careers, and not really in the financial position - but she wants to go off birth control and try and have a baby. I’ve tried to reason with her that it’s not the right thing to do at this moment in time, but she won’t listen. What should I do?

Sincerely,

Not Ready

Dear Not Ready,

Well for a start, you have no obligation to have sex with her at all. If she chooses to go off birth control, that’s a choice you have to respect. She may, for all you know, also have legitimate health reasons for doing so. Sit down with her and have a civilised discussion about it. When the Khal wanted to impregnate me, he basically just stuck it in me without asking. Eventually I was fine with it until I sacrificed the life of my unborn for his temporary half-life in a witch’s horrid ritual, but she may wish to have the courtesy of a choice in the matter. It’s all about communication in these matters. Speaking of which, WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS?

Dear Daenerys,

WHERE ARE YOUR DRAGONS?

Sincerely,

are clever, witty gay men a dying breed?

seriously. my sources for this aren’t very scientific (essentially just my own observation of a rather small sample - some of which has occurred via grindr, i’ll admit) but i feel like the more gay men i meet - particularly those around my age - the more and more disappointed with them i are. some of the best things you can generalise gays as are cultured, clever, quick-witted and sassy. and i can’t help but think that such qualities might be disappearing. part of this, i think, is the gradual march of modern homosexuality toward traditional masculinity. it seems like these days, being “gym fit” (ugh) is more important than intelligence and snappy comebacks. perhaps it is just a general lack of substance (and again, just going off some gays i have met/interacted with in previous months) but those around my age - 19 - seem to be fundamentally lacking any of mental finesse that inform some of our most iconic figures, such as drag queens, or john waters.

i’m glad that my closest gay friends have not fallen victim to this…perhaps this sounds snobby and elitist, but i just dislike the idea of gay men becoming so one-dimensionally focused on ‘normality’ that they’re just, oftentimes, men who have sex with men. all this nonsense about not “defining yourself by your sexuality” is, i think, impacting gay culture, which has historically been so associated with fun, flamboyance, and sharpness.

or maybe i’m wrong? maybe it’s good that gay culture is gravitating away from what is, in the eyes of many, a stereotype? maybe my problem is with the stupid in general rather than gays? maybe it’s simply making us a stronger community through diversification? maybe (probably, i admit) i’m just projecting my subjective concept of what it means to be gay on others? i can’t tell. all i know is that i’m getting a bit tired of these boring faggots who lack real personality. being gay is such a vibrant, wonderful, different experience. but i think those my age need to be better in tune with their culture. there are too many who wouldn’t get a pink flamingos reference if it smacked them in the face. i can’t help but feel melancholy about a world where more queers understand a lady gaga reference than a cher one. am i the only one?

someone posed me a hypothetical today:

and it was: “if another creator had created a universe, what do you think it would look like?”

my reponse: “assuming it is anything like our universe, it would be infinite, and technically, you cannot view infinity and it therefore cannot look like anything, unless you enter the Total Perspective Vortex, of course.”

which led me to realise this:

as far as we know, we’re the only intelligent life form in the universe. we have no proof of the existence of any others. if there is one or many, however, then based on the assumption that the likelihood of any other intelligent life forms having the same concept of a creator/the same god prescribed to us is astronomically high - PUN INTENDED U GUYZ - then by creating earth and humanity in isolation from them, god has actively SEGREGATED US FROM THE OTHER LIFE FORMS IN THE GALAXY HOLY SHIT GOD IS RACIST
