hey it's me death Troye Sivan’s music may have some answers for that. It’s rumoured “The Good Side” is about Connor and, if true, would explain why he’s still single. :)
Demi Muse Heard of it, troye did say that the song was about his ex and i know it has been rumored for years that he and Connor were going out but i thought that was just fans having high hopes and not actually canon
hey it's me death Oh good, because I don't really know either.I don't even know if they've really dated. Some fans say theres enough proof between social media, videos, books, and music, but, like you said, it's all suggestive. I'm not that interested in any of it but thought I'd offer it in case you wanted to check it out. Either way, Connor is so great, he really deserves someone that can be there for him, and I'm happy Troye has someone already there for him.
Okay so for me I’m pretty sure Connor and Troye were a couple yes the evidence is very suggestive but it points in the same direction and the fact that we don’t still see photos of Connor at Troyes house in Australia (just them two) kind of alludes to something. They still seem to be friends though which is good ❤️
Connor is seriously the best I love everything about him he’s not only adorable but well spoken and his voice is the most soothing sound in the entire world. I don’t remember how I discovered Connor (it had to be almost 7 or 8 years ago that I first discovered him) but I honestly can never get enough of him ❤️❤️❤️
I always understood twink to refer to young youthful men that were generally hairless. Race isn't as much of a factor, and there's even wiggle room for body type. (the sub categories of twunk and chubby twink)
He mentioned “queer as folk” and omg that show is one of the best things that happened to me in my entire life. I was so surprised to hear about it now bc usually no one seems to know it though it’s just the BEST
I always knew twinks were more admired in the late 90s/early 00s when pretty much every guy was clean shaven and body hair was old fashioned. Now it's the total opposite. Sucks for us twinks cause it's not like all of us can get all hairy anyway :/
I know! I hear ya! I know Im old now to be a twink (35) but I look pretty much the same as when I was one. It sucks that now guys are into beard, hair and muscle.... A guy can always grow a beard and become huge by going to the gym 5 times a week, but dude... Theres no gym for the face/youth :)
Yup, I'm 35 and twinks were all the rave when I was a gayby. Now I can't grow a beard to safe my life and I'm at the shallow end of the desirability pool.
Fun fact: I was confused for a twink even though I am straight. My first reaction was “I’m sorry, what?” Because I was confused and didn’t know what the word meant. I am now using this video to figure out what the word means lol
i love that we are cruisading and rejecting categories on grindr but feeling educated with these useless categories that are just as discriminatory. Try to replace "no fats no fems" with "no bears no queens" and tell me where the difference is
*I DO NOT* understand why this narrative mentions skin colour. The qualifying characteristics of a "twink" is being young, skinny and cute. I am not a fluent in this subject at all, but I did not notice colour being important in this.
They are the more efemeniate version of lgbtq types, hairless and more attractive. They are the ones I prefer most. The other one is bear, which describes me most.
Maybe I am wrong but i always thought that categories were by age: child - 1 to 12 yrs, teen - 13 to 19 yrs, twink - 20 to 26 yrs, middle age - 27 to 40 yrs, senior - 41 to 50 yrs, and elders, 51 on up.
I’m a bi man who likes twinks, but has found all too often that guys who clearly aren’t twinks, call themselves twinks. The definition given here is more or less accurate, but I prefer brunette and mixed race in guys and girls. Please guys, don’t label yourself a twink if you’re an otter.🤦🏻
I really don’t think twinks are for white men only. I mean come on there has to be some Latwinks out there somewhere. And I think it’s for people of all ages too
I'm 17, essentially hairless, skinny, but not blonde and not 100% Caucasian. Sooooo am I a twink or not lmfao 😂 (random but true: I'm also a cheerleader ❤)
In the late 90s we had a joke where we always called my friend a "Twinkie" because he was "cream filled" as is a joke (not behind his back, this was a friendly joke) and I always thought Twink was just a shortening of that. I'm not saying I thought my friends and I invented the word, but I thought it came from similar thinking and roots as a young, vapid (Twinkies aren't a food of any substance), blonde, bottom (being cream-filled referencing that).
Well 'Knabe' is actually just an old word for boy. It doesn't neccessarily refer to anything else, so if you say Knabe to a german, no one will associate it with a gay category. But still a good video.
Leyla Z I thought he was saying that it was used in the 1800s though, and it was probably both a regular word and also amongst gay circles meant something specific. Lord knows little history would have survived since it wouldn't have been common knowledge.
I had come to understand that many did indeed adopt the term after the Twinkie referring to something small, blonde, and uhh...cream filled. This term following "chicken" referring to the same group of young men with "chickenhawks" being older men who preyed on them
omg his smile after biting the twinkie is heart melting!
ternitamas ikr
ternitamas it turned me gay ;-;
Why is Connor so adorable?!
Trey Atkins because he's a human Twinkie filled with sweetness ❤️❤️❤️
@@ternitamas 😂cute comment
nothing better than a twink explaining the history of twink
MoshiiMoshii
Twink...Twank...Twunk
It sounds like conjugating a verb.
METATWINK INTENSIFIES
though I think he is kind of an artistic twunk idk
U RIGHT
fernando takahashi yea hes an art twunk
RIGHT
"There's nothing bad about being a twinkie, at least you get filled with creme"

A twink explaining what a twink is. Cute.
Two types of people in the comments
@@petitelitas I refuse to conform. So that makes three. lol
Just realized that Toph called Aang 'Twinkle Toes' a looooot during Last Airbender series. Aang is a hairless skinny boi
Studio 17B stop
Back to the Avatar days. I literally shaved my head and made a blue arrow when i was little
Wasn't he also, like, 12
I just thinking the same thing!
little pigeon he’s 100
He's the most adorable human being on Earth and yet he's still single??? How!?
hey it's me death Troye Sivan’s music may have some answers for that. It’s rumoured “The Good Side” is about Connor and, if true, would explain why he’s still single. :)
hey it's me death How do you know for sure he's single? Do you know him in real life?

“Twink” comes from “twinkle toes” in The Last Airbender how Toph called Aang twinkle toes. He is white, slender and literally hairless.
You are God
Ah i see :))
I don't think Aang is white, if you have to find a real world equivalent then I would say he is Tibetan.
WTF Aang is not white, he's Asian!
Well twink isn't just primarily white/Caucasian
This reminds me of someone giving an awkward social studies presentation vibes
you should have a lesbian explain the history of "butch" and "femme"! :D
Taylor this wasn't a lesbian?
What's that?
Mad_ galriri Butches are more masculine lesbians, and femmes are more feminine lesbians.
yES
Yes, the history of that slang is so difficult to interpret on my own.
I could listen to connor talking all day everyday
M. K. omg I thought u were actually troye and had a mini heart attack. lol
Natasha Romanoff I wish !!! I once found my own comment and thought it was Troye, innocent mistake 😂😂
lol
sadly, theer isn't much gay porn from the 1800s lol yes i agree
Help I'm thinking about Lams again
Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.
Connor is seriously the best I love everything about him he’s not only adorable but well spoken and his voice is the most soothing sound in the entire world.

I'm not gay, but I think this guy is so cute ♥
John James Holland Maybe he thinks you’re cute too ;)
twink magic
Okay i'm a straight girl and I'm obessed with gay culture that's fine.

Twink doesn't sound like a word anymore.
It is though
Twink

Phil Evans It sounded so japanese lmao
Jeroniee KANABE
LMAOOO IKR
I'm German and it took me a few moments to realize what he meant.
Jaaa xD
Connor: “What is a twink?”
Me: “...you?” 😂😂😂
0:04 the girl in the back saying cute is my whole reaction😂❤️
How do u know its a girl-
Why is he not on drag race season 10 episode 10 :(
No
Nick C if you mean the one paired with Aquaria his name is kingsly
Not even 5 seconds in jfnfn what he being so cute for 😤
How can you resist Connor❤️
Connie Franie is sooooooo adorable!!! When he smiles and my heart melts.
As a twink I can 100% confirm that we are the best.
Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.
Love your videos, I think it’s super important for people to talk about this kind of stuff and you’re doing a great job.
I marvel at how far he has come since the "I'm not gay!" video of his youth! We love you Connor!!
I always understood twink to refer to young youthful men that were generally hairless. Race isn't as much of a factor, and there's even wiggle room for body type. (the sub categories of twunk and chubby twink)

That beginning was sO CUTE.
Don't you just love it when someone unenthusiastically reads the prompter, no second take, nothing. Don't you. Just. Love it.
Awe, he’s so precious😭anyone else just wanna cuddle with him??😭💕
Sloth Boy exactly😭
Me!!
He seems so soft 😍😍😍
He's so cute my heart is gonna explode!
he's a rly good presenter. i like his chill vibe
I always knew twinks were more admired in the late 90s/early 00s when pretty much every guy was clean shaven and body hair was old fashioned. Now it's the total opposite. Sucks for us twinks cause it's not like all of us can get all hairy anyway :/
misael torres - Lol right! Or at least half and half :/
Sebizzar Every person feels attracted to different things don't lose hope lol
I know! I hear ya! I know Im old now to be a twink (35) but I look pretty much the same as when I was one. It sucks that now guys are into beard, hair and muscle.... A guy can always grow a beard and become huge by going to the gym 5 times a week, but dude... Theres no gym for the face/youth :)
Ignacio Martínez Argüello - Haha exactly! And yeah I know there will always be those attracted to twinks but it's getting rarer it seems.
Yup, I'm 35 and twinks were all the rave when I was a gayby. Now I can't grow a beard to safe my life and I'm at the shallow end of the desirability pool.

ugh why is connor so cute in the beginning like i die
My husband is a Twink, and I Love him sooo much!
mY SoN!!!! love that you guys brought conner on the show.
4:42 i lowkey screamed at the mention
Yassssssssss! I was quaking the first 4 seconds of the video!!!!
I learned a lot more than expected
"Sadly, there is no porn from the 1800s" lmao Connor :D
the intro is adorable i cant
Connor saying sugar daddy is everything😭😭💖💖
Connor is such a bean awwww
Okay I’m not gonna lie this is super entertaining
like fr I WANNA LEARN
i love that we are cruisading and rejecting categories on grindr but feeling educated with these useless categories that are just as discriminatory. Try to replace "no fats no fems" with "no bears no queens" and tell me where the difference is
Feliks-Mazdan De La Fournière Exactly.
If a person isn't attracted to a person they're not attracted to them
AAAHH my heart can't take how cute that intro is!! Spamming the repeat button.
Is it just me or does the cartoon at 0:42 kinda look like Troye Sivan when he was younger and when he had brown hair
Gosh Connor is so adorable. And I'm a lesbian.
do i smell a Bi?
@@axolotlinabucket1287 lesbians can find men attractive without being bi weirdo
Such a great video. Thank you
Why did I just find this???
I could have had it for 2 weeks!! Eugh😂
His laugh is everything💓💓
*I DO NOT* understand why this narrative mentions skin colour.
The qualifying characteristics of a "twink" is being young, skinny and cute. I am not a fluent in this subject at all, but I did not notice colour being important in this.
They are the more efemeniate version of lgbtq types, hairless and more attractive. They are the ones I prefer most. The other one is bear, which describes me most.
This is interesting, huh! Cool to learn queer history and to be told it by the one and only connor franta :)
my last name is thrash akdjjfjfjgjf honored to be a part of the explaining of the term twink. honestly truly amazing
1:20 😂 that pronounciation of knabe made me laugh so hard!
WHEN HE SAID “ OH MY” AND I THOUGHT OF “OH MY MY MY”
Connor is just so precious
The intro was the cutest thing i’ve ever seen
This tags on gay community are fine and funny but sometimes it become a way to be exclusive from other members of the lgbtq
No tf
Maybe I am wrong but i always thought that categories were by age: child - 1 to 12 yrs, teen - 13 to 19 yrs, twink - 20 to 26 yrs, middle age - 27 to 40 yrs, senior - 41 to 50 yrs, and elders, 51 on up.
You bet this will be my first conversation back at school on Monday ❤️💛💚💙💜😋
The beginning is everything 😂
That intro is my life. I live for that.
Omg first comment love u guys
his smartness is beyond my reach!!!
DO a history of the word "stan" and how it became to mean a fan of someone
I’m a bi man who likes twinks, but has found all too often that guys who clearly aren’t twinks, call themselves twinks. The definition given here is more or less accurate, but I prefer brunette and mixed race in guys and girls. Please guys, don’t label yourself a twink if you’re an otter.🤦🏻
Wait what's an otter ? 🤥
I really don’t think twinks are for white men only. I mean come on there has to be some Latwinks out there somewhere. And I think it’s for people of all ages too
@@therealspeedwagon1451 who says it’s for white men? The only important thing about being a twink is being skinny
slender, blonde, cheap, and filled with white cream...
how could there not be a connection?!
*filled with white cream*
I'm 17, essentially hairless, skinny, but not blonde and not 100% Caucasian. Sooooo am I a twink or not lmfao 😂 (random but true: I'm also a cheerleader ❤)
You are
I love this a lot and Con is so cute in it
he’s rather.....professional as well

I haven't watched Connor Franta in a while... Did his voice change??
Christian Martin His voice seems softer and higher pitched? Almost younger.
I just learned about the secret gay language used in England back in the day called Polari. It’s so surreal to me. And interesting
Come on,RUclips!
I used the word "twink" ONCE in my life time and now you recommend me this?
Well 'Knabe' is actually just an old word for boy. It doesn't neccessarily refer to anything else, so if you say Knabe to a german, no one will associate it with a gay category. But still a good video.

What an enlightening video, like I knew what 'twink' meant but, I didn't know there was so much history behind it's meaning lol
I love Connor, I just want to give him a hug so bad!
"am I a twink?" *describes me* well im a twink. Wait. Well im a twink!
I read somewhere that twink derived from the snack because just like the pastry, that kind of guy is soft and full of cream
Did Connor Franta just talk about belami?! LMFAO
Yeah i guess. 😂
IF YOU WANNA TWINKLE YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A TWINK
connor franta you smol bean i love you
He is the most adorable thing😍
Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are... suddenly takes on a whole new meaning.
*Connor is adorable AWHHHH😂*
Hes so soothing to listen to.
that" cute" in the the beginning is so CUTE and his face tho..ugh
Maybe a bit of a weird question, but does someone have a link to that hoodie he is wearing? I love it! Btw, love you Connor!
Wow he mannerisms are just so on point
His smile after eating the twinki melts my heart ❤️
"oh my" MY MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Smart, articulate, an easy-going demeanor, and all wrapped up in an attractive package. I love you Connor.
Connor is "a cream filled snack." Lol
He keeps saying Twinkle Toes all I think of is the shoes 👌🏻👌🏻
Why does the twink animation at 0:39 look like blonde Troye?
I'm watching this kind of video because I call Twink to cute boys, doesn't matter their sexuality. I learned a lot 👍👍
Weird audio
i wanna have a history with HIM amiright fellas
