AIBU to fancy Fionne Orlander?

66 replies

Whackitupto200 · 07/06/2019 00:12

(I know this isn’t AIBU, but most people there won’t know who Fionne is.)

I’m a married mum of three but if he was straight, I absolutely would TBH.

AIBU to have a massive crush?

I think many women admire Fionne's look as it is neither a cruel parody of woman or a hyperbolic ‘tribute’ to women. Fionne's look transcends patriarchal stereotypes and is simply, beautiful. Everyone should be free to express their version of sartorial beauty regardless of the constraints associated with upholding societal expectations based on bloody gender roles and claiming sex status because of costume
Obviously 🙄

He’s not scary. He’s gentle and kind

I've not come across this person before. I'm just going by his looks and how he presents.

I do have a penchant like young rock gods with long hair, though. Eddie Vedder when he was in his twenties; likewise Anthony Kiedis; but he's just become an old perv now. Shame!

Sorry to answer the OP

Fionne is beautiful but too ethereal for me

Aw gawd will stop now

littlbrowndog · 07/06/2019 19:18

He has seen us on twitter. His mum told him 😎😎😎

Waves to fionne excitedly 😍😍😍😍

Deffo heath ledger as the joker, and captain hook in once upon a time

And i too have a thing about men in eyeliner

To be honest it’s probably the rest of the ensemble as well, whether it be rock leather or pirate garb

littlbrowndog · 07/06/2019 19:16

No just a thought I heart 💓 him so much

Although, what does it say about modern male sexuality that warm and humane is not the standard?!

Summerhillsquare · 07/06/2019 19:13

YANBU, Fionne is striking and comes over as very warm and humane. And that's kinda sexy.

Miranda Yardley is someone I like, and in a Ugandan discussion sort of way. Confused. It'll never happen though. Don't worry Miranda, I won't be stalking you!

FloralBunting · 07/06/2019 19:10

Won't somebody think about how it makes is all look like mean and nasty feminists and damages our argument to.. ... start fangirl threads about how attractive and delightful a particular trans person is...?

Wink
placemats · 07/06/2019 19:08

Or, big breath hold, even older.

I personally don't fancy Fionne. But I do understand the attraction.

placemats · 07/06/2019 19:06

Why is Fionne too young for women to fancy?

Married mum of three could be a woman who is mid to late twenties.

waterlego · 07/06/2019 18:28

Do you know Stunt, I was just coming back on to say sorry to Fionne’s boyfriend. 😂

I didn’t know that about the pronunciation of Fionne though.

StuntNun · 07/06/2019 18:01

I feel a bit sorry for Fionne's boyfriend - he's got a lot of competition apparently! Did you fangirls know her name is pronounced FEE-un and not Fee-ON?

waterlego · 07/06/2019 17:47

YANBU and I’m kinda relieved other people feel the same. I heart Fionne.

littlbrowndog · 07/06/2019 10:46

I would like to be a female elf in my head

That’s why we would be a perfect match
I love all the wee houses he puts on his twitter and all the animals

Daydreaming

CassianAndor · 07/06/2019 10:19

Fionne is totally channelling Thranduil, down to the eyebrows. Thranduil (and Lee Pace, who plays him) is the fucking bomb.

So I think Fionne is trying to be a male elf more than a woman. Which I like him for.

DuMondeB · 07/06/2019 10:17

Fionne is beautiful, and a kind, determined and sensitive person.

YANBU.

BUT he's sort of portraying a real-life-fictional-character, like his whole life is based on a fantasy dressing up game or something

Well he openly says in his twitter bio that he’s ‘trying to battle dysphoria’. I imagine that what you’re describing may be a facet of that.

Or it could also be that his twitter feed is just curated so that it gives that impression?

If you looked at any of my social media feeds you certainly wouldn’t get the whole picture of me.

Lol yea I completely get the attraction to F.O. he is beautiful and says very interesting things. A game changer, in fact.

BUT he's sort of portraying a real-life-fictional-character, like his whole life is based on a fantasy dressing up game or something? Dykwim? So I couldn't connect with someone like that, someone very invested in self image. That's a bit off-putting.

I see your Fionne Orlander and raise you John " Not just a man but the man" MacLean Beautiful, thoughtful and extremely funny Eg in YouTube make up tutorials said "My forehead is so large it's like a small country In fact I found an Embassy up there the other day"

HappyPunky · 07/06/2019 08:21

Thinking about it - Fionne gets treated like a woman by TRAs. Oh the irony!!

littlbrowndog · 07/06/2019 08:04

I love fionne

He likes all the things I like

We are a match made in heaven
