ngl it does really annoy me when everyone accepts βace people don't have sexβ as the baseline assumption instead of ace people just not experiencing sexual attraction.
you can still have sex but be driven by different reasons, like to me it is a kind of affection and way to hang out with people that is influenced by the relationship we have with each other. i can think people are pretty to look at with or without their clothes without sexual attraction in the mix.
when i see something full of ppl assuming ace people don't have sex i always want to jump on it and be annoying like MEEEE I'M ACE PEOPLE WHO HAS SEX, WE EXIST WE EXIST STOP ASSUMING WE DON'T THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO STRAIGHT UP WILL NOT DATE OR BE INTERESTED IN ACE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THIS MISCONCEPTION AND WE E X I S T.
stop!!!! assuming ace people do not have sex!!!!!!!! if you don't know then ask if it's appropriate!!!!!!!!!!! stop thinking about it in a binary you either do or don't have sex kind of way!!!!!! this is fundamentally off!!!!!!!!!!!! if you are ace you do not have sexual ATTRACTION!!!!!!!!!!!
as to how we feel about and handle sex, that varies person to person but sex favorable aces are a lot more common than you'd think. hell, figuring out I'm ace was the hardest thing to figure out about myself because all i ever saw people talk about was whether you have sex or not. I'm sure there's a lot more people who haven't figured it out for this same reason, and let me tell you it's hard to know you're missing a whole ass type of attraction when you've never experienced it before and didn't know it was missing to begin with!!
ace is not synonymous with sexless. aces who don't have sex don't speak for me, and y'all gotta stop letting them be the only face of the community. there are More Of Us, it is All Of Us.
accepting that baseline at face value leaves you uninformed and it's frustrating to see this over and over again. challenge yourself to do better and try understanding ace people more.

Meleanor Expressions π₯Ίπππβ¨
The last two is from @alchemivich but most of these was my full body edits based on these tweet
sorry if theres any mistake π©π₯
her tearing up expression might be the closest thing we have, to see how Malleus will cry πππππ (rn i dont really see Malleus as a "loud/expressive crier" (like Lilia) but who knows lol i feel like a resigned crying where you let the tears fall silently feels more aligned to his depression about eternal loneliness. i dont think even in his downfall (after his overblot), he wont cry loudly, because thats how Malleus has always been, even if hes increadibly sad, "he never expresses extreme emotions about it" (him freezing a castle as a child bcs he couldnt understand why hes alone/feeling lonely but it isnt said that he cried, how in Lilias party he was casting a blizzard at how devastated he is about Lilias situation but never crying, how he disregards his "childhood tantrums" as being immature even though he knows children have rights to cry (what he says to Silver but never himself)) but theres a certain sense of freedom if he does cry loudly though,, like Riddle who had pent up emotions up until the end of his overblotπ

there should be something like the bechdel test but instead of assessing if people can talk about women without mentioning men is if people can talk about characters without mentioning ships because so many people would fail miserably

The way this line kind of ruined me
"As long as there's the mountain and Zayne"
Be it Dr Zayne and the mountain that stole his best friend William, where he watched him die the most agonizing and painful death possible while he struggled and failed to help him and carries that death through nightmares still
Or the Foreseer and the mountain that kept him prisoner by chain and thorn for god knows how long, not only denying him the basic needs of socialization and freedom, but taunted and weaponized his love for mc countless times
Or Dawnbreaker and the metaphorical mountain of bodies and burdens he's forced to shoulder on a psyche and ego that is so paper thin it's almost transparent, just strong enough to do the work that no one else is willing or capable of doing but for how much longer can he sustain it
Zayne and His Mountain
There is a reason this song is my #1 Zayne song πππ
