ok let’s clear up some confusion about asexuality, celibacy, and abstinence

abstinence: the choice to abstain from an activity, often referring to the choice to not have sex. for example someone may abstain from eating red meat or smoking; in western culture it is usually assumed that a person is abstaining from sex unless otherwise specified.

celibacy: the choice to be unmarried and/or abstain from sex, temporarily or permanently, often associated with religious beliefs, but this is a choice anyone can make if they’d like, no matter their religion.

asexuality (often abbreviated as ‘ace’): a sexual orientation in which a person experiences little to no sexual attraction to anyone regardless of their gender; the ace may or may not have a sexual libido, engage in sexual activity with ot without partners, and/or experience romantic attraction. Aces can choose abstinence or celibacy and their asexuality does not make this choice less valid, and vice versa.

the behavior is a choice, whereas orientation is not.

thanks for coming to my annual Ted talk.

happy ace week.

This may sound mean, but...

If you send me an ask containing links to Good Omens fan fiction you think I should read, I'll delete it. Do it again and I'll (regretfully) block you. This is a general blanket sort of thing -- I don't want to read it, legally I can't read it, no I won't make it into the next series, and, no matter how pure your motives, it's crossing a line.
