truly never getting over the greatest loss streaming services caused: the disappearance of DVD special features. behind the scenes, bloopers, deleted scenes, commentaries, I will never forget you, I will never stop missing you.

I love it when movies and staged documentaries try to depict a "hare" or a "wild rabbit" but then proceed to just show a gray or brown domestic rabbit. Yeah sure, really convincing me there /s

why do cartoon goats so often get depicted with upper buck teeth &/or a philtrum. Goats have neither of those. They don't even have upper incisors.

I took some creative liberty with the stripes with them still being random but also tiger-like. I know stipes(especially brindle dogs cuz look like they've been drawn all over by a toddler without a somewhat consistent pattern like in felines)are hard to draw, but this SHOULDN'T have taken me DAYS to finish.

The aromantic agenda is a good one.

Go and think about what kinds of relationships you want. Don't think about labels like romantic or platonic or sexual, think purely about what relationships would make you happiest.

When I realized I was aromantic, I was asked things like "Would you still date? Would you have a QPR? Will you ever kiss?"

But the aromantic community didn't ask that. Instead, they focused on "What do you want in a world where anything is possible?"

And I realized I want to be alone, surrounded by friends and family I love who are close enough, I can bring them fresh baked scones when I overbake.

They asked me "What do you want?" and the question was so broad, I could weigh labels in my hand like queerplatonic partner and nonpartnering and significant other. I could look at these and shrug and say, "What I want is to not worry about questions I don't care about." I could shelve these indefinitely. Maybe even forever. And just enjoy being myself.

The aromantic community celebrates exploration. Tells people asking if they are aromantic, "This is a personal decision. Your personal decision. If this label helps you, take it. If this community helps you, stay as long as you need. You don't have to be labelled anything, aromantic or otherwise, unless it would bring you comfort. You don't have to be anything you aren't."

It's a good community with good philosophies born from a unique experience, not rooted in missing out, but in being forced to consider what you want when you don't want what's expected.

I think there is something so beautiful, so innocent and sweet about spotting or discovering that f/o or comfort character. Looking into them and having that warmth grow within you, where you just know they're gonna mean something so significant, they're going to hold so much importance.

I feel like we get so caught up in cringe culture, we get so wrapped up in how "embarrassed" we're "supposed" to feel.

But I don't think selfshipping is embarrassing. I think that finding a character that makes you feel so comforted, finding happiness and appreciation in that connection you'd share with them is genuinely so heartwarming. And I feel like that isn't talked about enough.

If you selfship, if you have comfort characters or f/os, you're not embarrassing. You're not any of the mean, shameful things other try to make you feel. You're a person who is passionate and full of love for that passion, and that's okay. You're valid and you deserve that peace.
