had to repost because I’m dumb and did the entire thing wrong. 😂

Thanks for the question, Anon! Sorry about that!

I like coconut, especially with chocolate.

I know this isn't ninjago guys but I finished this 17 hour painting for my art class and I was proud of it so...enjoy.

I love Egypt fun fact about me. :)

I found out I was aromantic when this girl I was relatively good friends with very publicly asked me out with an a3 sized collage and a love letter in an envelope and then ran out of the room before I could realise I was being asked out. When I messaged her saying that I didn't feel that way but we could be friends still, she was on a discord call where she PUBLICLY BROADCAST MY REJECTION OF HER TO A SERVER OF 30+ PEOPLE (where I was also in the server). I got sick from the realisation that she had told so many people around our town about her crush on me and had followed through with asking me out even though multiple of my friends had advised her not to do that because even then i had a personal policy of not dating until college. As a result of her feeling so attacked by my rejection, she sent her friends to harass me for 10 months straight. Her friends, who around this time were emerging to be queerphobic fascists, would make sock puppet accounts to stalk me, would spam me messages, and would basically try to make newly out aromantic me's life hell. It got so bad my hair was falling out. When I threatened to go to the police (not because i support them, but because there were physically no other avenues I could use) she insinuated I was being crazy on the one time I confronted her on it. I'm fine now and I'm doing a lot better since realising I'm probably on the ace spectrum too and I'm likely autistic too. Her friends are all still fascists and she's become like a transmed separatist so that's not fun. I just felt this was important to say because while discrimination isn't necessary to be queer, aro/ace folks still do experience bigotry from others (even other queer folks!)

that's a horrible thing to have happened to you, and i'm glad you're doing better now. anyone who says aspecs don't experience bigotry is (unfortunately) incorrect.

Some ppl are like "I'm a kinky sex-positive pervert freak!!!" and then make fun of virgins and asexuals..... sure, reclaim freakiness but keep working on that because teasing ppl for their sex lives (or lack thereof) is, unfortunately, very normie mainstream vanilla behaviour. the right to sexual determination includes NOT having sex. 101 shit. Like this isnt subversive dude, it's using the edge of an ideology for bullying

Seen a lot of people talk about someone being their gay awakening and I thought about the idea of an aromantic awakening and that's so funny to me because that would either have to be someone whose effect on you falls outside of every normative understanding of attraction or someone where you hated the idea of having romantic attraction to them so much that it made you realize you don't have romantic attraction at all

I don’t have to worry about "chemicals you can’t pronounce" in my food and my shampoo because I can pronounce every chemical flawlessly and without effort. Butylated hydroxytoluene. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Fenugreek. I am saying these out loud and laughing at you. I’m immune to all known carcinogens. I can never die. Fight me.

Do you know this queer character?

Sakuko is Aromantic and Asexual, and uses she/her pronouns!

just because someone can articulate their point better doesn’t make them right, it makes them articulated.

there should be a socially acceptable way to say "im not sure what to say to that. can you say something different"

I don't care what your sexuality is if we start doing kiss marry kill or smash or pass for people of a gender you're not actually attracted to you can have some gosh darn imagination. Make a choice. Pick. Imagine. Open your mind to creativity.

Ok so I wanna preference this post by saying I'm asking this question in good faith and I'm really sorry if this comes off as rude in any way but I'm way to curious to not ask.

So as a person who is both aromantic and afamilial, but is very much alloplatonic, I get a lot of my need for social interaction and affection from my platonic relationships. and because humans are generally pretty social animals I was wondering what other aspec people who are specifically aplatonic do to fill their need for social interaction?

Basically I'm woundering what aplatonic people do to be social.

Again really sorry if this sounds rude in any way, and you can totally call me on it if I am, I'm just really damn curious.

A lot of people try to explain this without knowing anything about how voice synthesis works, so here's my breakdown on No, Hatsune Miku Is Not AI, And No, AI Voice Synthesis Is Not Bad.

also. love everyone on here - both who agree and disagree with the way that scene came about - sharing their views on why. seriously, i'm going to think of both these sides as i hold this show close. pretty awesome shit.

[alien-ally]

actually; i get why everyone is disappointed with the sequencing of the beginning, the shift. and i agree 13829%

Book spoiler: in the novel, it's paced nicely and really given it's time. they dont end up going all the way after the first kiss too. and that kiss, akdjas, it is upsetting they dint flesh it out better. the part where, qian realizes he doesn't even know how to kiss properly, yuan snapping out of his stupor of being caught off guard and going in, the waist grab, and subsequent thoughts going off in qian's head (awareness of lack of flexibility, waist being strung like a bow etc etc.) idk, those were really significant imo.
