Probably gonna regret posting this here, haha, but people keep thinking I'm skinny when I'm not that skinny. Not super-swole either, but it's not like I'm anorexic..

Yeah its more the muscles showing through cause of the low body fat %, not because of having a significant amount of muscle.

Whatever the bodytype, huge thighs are always ideal. I enjoy when my ripped quads and hammies almost burst through my skin tight raw denim. A few dozen prisoner squats before going anywhere is a necessity also; you need that pump to make you feel so ******* jacked. Hell yeah.

Gained about 10 pounds over the past year, was worse when I actually was skinny. Trying to put on another 10 more

You are pretty skinny. I bet your 10 lb gain improved your look a lot. At 5'11, you are very close to BMI underweight. Another 10 lbs of muscle is a very reasonable goal. Not that I mean to get all otter on you or anything...
