He might be gay and trying to figure out if you’re in a relationship with someone who is too, or if you know someone who is single and cute. Or he might be interested in one of your guy friends! I’ve asked female friends about their guy friends in the past because I had a crush on one of their friends, not them. This is a way to get information about someone without being too forward. The landscape of possibilities is so much wider than ‘he likes you’ or ‘he’s just making talk’. Consider his social circle for starters. Does he have lots of female friends? Is he generally inquiring as to the relationships of the people around him? His whole personality, not just that one question, is more relevant here.

I have seen this same exact thing happen with other large content creators like Markiplier and Jacksepticeye in the past. Their fandoms would get into these crazy and often nonsensical debates about completely unverified information. It was all so weird and really only served to distract from the amazing content the creators were actually producing. Eventually though, most fan communities come to realize that these types of discussions are a drain on the community and eventually have to come to a place of establishing norms around what types of discussions are acceptable. I really hope that this community can skip all of that and establish the very obvious and healthy norm early on that we do not speculate about the private lives of creators.

A different view of it is that Aelin ends up with the man who loves her as Aelin first, not as Celaena. This is different from Chaol who loved Celaena the assassin and not really the woman that Celaena masked as being. He never saw really who Celaena was beneath the surface. Rowan met her when Celaena was destroyed and she was the queen Aelin, battered, tired, angry, hurting. He knew her true name before he even fell for her and that he had to deal with the raw queen beneath the mask of Celaena was difficult. Yet somehow their very magical bond feels more real and right for her true self than it ever did with Chaol who was deceived by the greatest lie of all.

I'd say it's a good sign, but with a huge asterisk regarding the rest of his behavior. Does he seek you out? Does he remember things you told him? Does his body language open up when you're around him? One wink is a flash in the pan, but consistent attention and memory is a steady flame that you can rely on. Use the wink as a clue, not the entire mystery.

If you're referring to Markiplier, the YouTube personality, as per public records, he's straight. He has been in a relationship with Amy Nelson since 2015. But hey, a person's sexuality is their private business. We're all fans of Mark because of his comedic gaming commentary, aren't we?

Holy cow! I thought my boyfriend was the only one who did that! That could be for a variety of reasons. He could just be really relaxed and his whole body is just unwinding. That can look like contentment and even a cat purring. It could also be a low level of arousal and he’s just getting to that point physically where he’s comfortable and that stimulates his system. And then there’s stress relief. When someone is holding you and you trust them completely, it can release a LOT of tension and that releases on a breath. So it’s a combination of his body knowing he’s in a comfortable, safe place and him not having to say anything about it. I might be concerned if it sounded strained in some way or like he was choking on his breath, but other than that, it’s just a body being a body.

I'm loving how the body language analysts are having a field day with these two. There are tons of YouTube videos where they go frame by frame of a scene and analyze their eye contact and how close they are standing to each other. I think it's kind of entertaining in a soap-opera-ish kind of way. But, honestly, I don't put any stock in it because people can convince themselves of anything. I've seen body language experts claim that two co-stars who despise each other are secretly in love. It's a bunch of pseudoscience being applied to gossip. The two of them do seem comfortable with each other, but that doesn't mean anything. They could have a decade or more of friendship and working together behind them, or they could just generally be comfortable with people of similar personalities and that's it. I just don't see the point of reading romantic intent into every glance they share.
Let's leave body language analysis to true crime documentaries.

Ultimately you have to rely on your gut feeling of how something felt in the moment you read it. Was it warm and friendly or cold and critical? Or perhaps it was the most neutral of communications and simply passed you by? Our instinctive gut feeling when reading online in real-time is usually way more accurate than any subsequent analysis we come up with afterwards. Our minds can quite easily make up a justification for something after the event has passed, but our initial, immediate gut feeling usually hits the nail on the head in terms of how we actually felt about something in that moment. Our subconscious mind will have picked up on all the tiny micro-cues and processed them before our conscious mind can even list them, so go with your first feeling – if it felt good, then it probably was; if it felt strange then it probably was too.

Surprisingly, my first thought was to connect it to music. I had come across a very popular audio clip on TikTok a few months ago. It was a short soft indie melody and the caption was “Aurora gay vibes“. The clip was often used as background music for slideshows of moody, romantic BL manhwa panels as well as beautiful fanmade edits of couple scenes from dramas such as “Given“. So “Aurora gay” might actually refer to a small micro-aesthetic that is being presented on social media right now, consisting of pastel colors, soft lighting, and melancholic but hopeful queer romance scenes.

I see this kind of behavior a lot in the fanfiction world, where people want to download complete stories as PDFs to read offline. But with original, published fiction, the author is not just some hobbyist trying to share their work for fun (as they might with fanfiction); it’s their job to write fiction, and they need to earn a living from it.
Reframe your search terms to look for online versions of "Tough Guy" rather than "free PDF" versions of his work. Many publishers have online partnerships with websites that allow users to read a portion of a work online for free via their browser. For example, you can read a large portion of a work through Google Books Preview, for free. While this won't allow you to download a PDF version of the work to read offline, it's a legitimate way to read a portion of the work to see if you'd like to purchase the entire book. Always choose the most official route to reading first.
