Thinking about how eddie and buck were definitely bedroom kids but chris is so clearly a living room kid and that's the kind of breaking of generational trauma i love to see

The sentences "Asexuals can still have sex" and "Aromantics can still date" need to go up on the high shelf for everyone except aces and aros talking about their own experiences. From now on, everyone else has to use the revolutionary new phrase "Asexuals and aromantics can do whatever the fuck they want forever."

Edit: Critical Thinking Questions

Imagine as many different scenarios as you can where a person might tell someone "aros can still date" or "aces can still have sex." Pick two or more of these scenarios to compare. Does the meaning of these phrases change in different contexts? Do you think every speaker of these phrases has the same intent?

Do you think the topic of this post is an "aroace community" issue, or an "asexual community and aromantic community" issue? Do you understand which one of the above is a broader category?

Imagine a scenario in which an aromantic allosexual might be told that "aromantics can still date." In that context, would that phrase be affirming or delegitimizing? Repeat, but imagine a scenario in which an alloromantic asexual might be told that "asexuals can still have sex." In that context, would that phrase be affirming or delegitimizing? If you would like, you may now revisit your answer to Question 2.

Do you think "Asexuals and aromantics can do whatever they want forever" is contradictory to the statements "asexuals can have sex" or "aromantics can date"? If so, then why? If not, then why might OP prefer the phrasing of "do whatever they want forever"? What might "do whatever they want forever" encapsulate that the other statements do not?

Many users are relating this post to fandoms' treatment of asexual and/or aromantic fictional characters. Do you think people's views of real-life a-specs can influence their treatment of a-spec fictional characters? Conversely, do you think their views of a-spec characters can influence their treatment of real a-spec people?

Is the treatment of real a-spec people or of fictional a-spec characters more important? For the category that you considered less important, do you think the treatment of that category is ever relevant or related to how the more important category is treated? (You may reference your answer from Question 5.) Compared to the more important category, how much discussion do you think the less important category deserves? Do you think it may ever be relevant or important to discuss on posts about the category OP sees as more important?

Excluding planned events there has not been a single Batfam outing where they dress like they’re going to the same place

A tired and/or grumpy older man that basically adopts his employees has got to be one of my favorite tropes.

I love gif edits where someone is feral over their blorbo like “omgzzzzz he’s so cuteee look at him in this shot!’n this scene!!!!! His hand!!!!” and blorbo is doing the most mundane, normal thing. Standing still. Passing a piece of paper to someone. Scratching their chin.

Go off, besties! Find the mundane beautiful!!

Now You See Me (2013) Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)

[anxious-and-asexual]

My favorite thing about the Now You See Me movies is that they wrote only one character who actually comes off as competent; doing the most, stealing entire corpses, doing most of the work, the only one who can throw hands and not just cards, casts magic missle on fbi agent Mark Ruffalo and instead of trying to balance it they just went fuck it, casted only truly likeable white boy in Hollywood Dave Franco to play him, and committed to him carrying and being competent at seemingly everything for the sequel.

Something about Heist movies/media makes my brain fucking explode

Like just a group of new best friends robbing the rich??? Like I can not get enough of strangers stealing things together and becoming best friends??? Makes me feel so many emotions makes my heart explode Something about strangers becoming family through trust and crime makes me feral

Do not psychoanalyze me

god this movie was so amazing

[anxious-and-asexual]

Superman losing his composure only when people shrug off the lives of others. Doesn’t matter how well he knows them. Doesn’t matter if they’re even human.

He gets upset at the Justice Gang for brutally killing a rampaging Kaiju and not even attempting to find a way to move it or at least euthanize it more humanely.

The only time he raises his voice during Lois’ interview is when she digs into his interference in geopolitics, because people would have died if he hadn’t acted. The only time he yells at Luthor is when Luthor abducts Krypto. The only time he cries is when Luthor murders someone he barely even knew.

He saves a fucking squirrel for god’s sake. We’re so back.

Reblogging this again because I finally started writing fanfics and I feel this on both sides now (altough sometimes it takes so long because I’m worried someone left a critique or a rude comment and I don’t want to deal with that).

i’m replying to a lot of ao3 comments for the first time in my life, so my brain conjured this meme
