So... Is Lewis "Shatterstar" Tan family or not?

He recently tweeted about how beautiful one of his male co-stars was, but later deleted those tweets when some of his fans reacted weirdly.

He doesn’t seem to mind gay male attention but I don’t think he’s family. Which is a shame because he’s a total babe.

A new report claims that Marvel Studios is looking to cast their first openly gay male lead for their upcoming 2020 film The Eternals.

The studio is reportedly keeping a very tight lid on which character they are actually looking to cast, but That Hashtag Show explains that Marvel is searching for "an actor, 30-49, who 'physically looks like a superhero'" to take on one of The Eternals' lead roles. Additionally, while they are open to actors of all ethnicities, they would prefer the role go to "an openly gay actor."

An openly gay actor who looks like a superhero? Hmmm...I am guessing when they say "superhero" they mean someone tall, muscular, and a nice jawline.

I am partial to Luke Evans. But I'll be honest, I don't know that many openly gay actors.

Ellen Page doesn't count?

[Silvermoth]

I guess maybe not because she wasn’t playing an out LGBTIQ character?

Speaking of, I’ve just started watching the umbrella academy. I’m up to episode 2 and I absolutely love it and Ellen is amazing. It’s so good to see she’s still working

150 Million People Have Abandoned Tumblr Since Its Porn Ban

[Silvermoth]

Yeah well, what else was tumblr good for?

I wonder if twitter would ever have a crackdown. That’s where everyone went

Yeah, tumblr was basically just a porn site anyway. I went to newTumbl, it's a site that's trying to fill the void that tumblr left behind. It's not bad but it needs more people to try it out so the community grows.

[Silvermoth]

What a shame though. Back in the Obama days it used to have a really great community for supporting people. It was probably one of the nicest social media companies. Now it’s just another company. Very sad

Ugh...I'm in need of "relationship advice". Maybe this isn't the best place for it, but I'm just trying to collect a bunch of viewpoints (personal and impersonal).

My mother passed away recently, and owned a home about 3 hours from where I currently live. The house now belongs to my sister, brother, and myself. I am heavily thinking (read: it's pretty much a "go") of buying them out of their share. It's a really good chance for me to own my own home! It's nothing fancy, and it's kind of small, but it'd be perfect for myself and maybe a roommate. And with the type of loan I've inquired about, I'll actually be able to pay my car off and save a bit of money each month (the car was pricey, it was a splurge...I don't regret it!).

The problem is...I have a "boyfriend". And I put it in quotes because it's a rather weird situation. We haven't been...intimate...in a really long time (6 years? I lost count). We don't kiss, we don't really hug, we've never celebrated any sort of relationship milestone (anniversaries) or holidays (Valentine's)...and while some of these aren't necessary for a relationship to be good, they kind of high-light the fact that our relationship has always been awkward. He's always been kind of closed off and didn't want to share things about himself, and I think I've always resented that. We ended up moving in together, and for a while it's been a convenience for both of us; we split the bills, and going or separate ways would be more difficult financially for both of us.

So...we're basically roommates, with some perks of a relationship...or is that a relationship with a lot of drawbacks? Either way, I concluded some time ago that I would leave him if given the opportunity. I know I've been a shitty person for keeping this up (he's definitely more emotionally invested at this point than I am; I care for him, but I don't love him like that any more), but us "staying together" also probably benefits him more than myself (I make more money, and pay more of the bills)...and I just don't know how to initiate this conversation.

My sister and I have talked about moving to this area (or nearby) for a few years now, and I actually brought it up to my "boyfriend" about me possibly moving, to which his basic response was that he wouldn't move with me (which was sort of a relief at the time). I've mentioned several times that I'd love to move to the aforementioned area (was actually born/raised there), as it's something I've wanted since before I even ever met him (home is where the heart is).

Buying the house isn't anywhere close to finalized yet (still have to be approved for the loan, etc.), and I still have to figure out a job transfer (which is generally easy to do, but still has to be done and find a place to transfer to).

Do I wait to till him till everything about me moving is in motion? Do I risk telling him now, and either a) the move goes through, but the living situation we have is super awkward till I move or b) the move can't go through (no job transfer or loan denied), and we're put in an awkward situation on top of our "necessity" to continue living together?

Again, I know I've played a shitty part in this and at this point I can't change much (if any) of that, so I don't mind any comments in that regard, but I would also like to get some advice as well.

I would wait to tell him until everything is squared away(loan approved, job transfer successful etc.), but don’t wait too long because I’m assuming he’ll need time to figure out his living situation.

[Adam Allen]

Nah, just tell him now ... because, seems like you want out of the situation, regardless of if the loan is approved and the job transfer goes through. Let things be super awkward, because they're apparently awkward, anyway. Even if your immediate plans go through, I wouldn't think that a reason to just stay in a situation you're already hoping to find a way out of. In other words, don't wait for an opportunity to leave, if you want to leave. Just leave. Life's too short to waste being unhappy due to convenience.

That’s really exciting!

We do live in interesting times, I mean buttigieg I used to think had no chance and now I’m starting to listen more and more. I wonder if we could actually see a gay president?

Just say "No More Roommate With Benefits" see if he disappears
But FrFr...
seems like he's manipulating you and taking bold advantage of you Dude. I'm sure he realizes that despite the financial benefits he's getting...it's not fair emotionally sexually etc for either of you....
EDIT:
errr this poster has some good advice...
