This Joker is also an Ace.

[aroaceconfessions]

ok so here we go ... i don't really have anyone to talk to about this, so i'm turning to you.

i'm biro ace, in my twenties and never been in a relationship. idk if it's fomo but i'm beginning to think i need to start dating soon (although i have zero ideas on where/how to start, what to do etc). truth is ever since i figured out my sexuality i've kinda gotten used to the idea i won't ever find my own person. no one will love me because i'm ace. no one will see me for who i am. no one will understand me and accept my asexuality. i don't really think of my biromantic orientation as a problem, but i guess it could still matter. y'know, bisexuality itself isn't really seen in a good light by society.

all i'm trying to say in this confession is - i believe in love, but i don't really think i myself fit in that scenario. is there anything i can do about it? why am i living my sexuality so negatively when i'm feeling the most authentic version of myself since finding a label that fits me?

i feel so lonely and confused.

ps. mind you, i'm still closeted (only a queer friend of mine knows i'm queer too)

Just realized my sexuality is technically 'Dick' even tho I'm ace

Now here me out:

I am biromantic and asexual, to shorten that it's biro-ace

a biro is a pen, so pen-ace

pen-ace sounds a lot like what people say when they don't want to get in trouble (or demonetized) for saying penis

pen-ace = penis

therefore my sexuality is 'Dick'

[evaofthecosmos]

my version of the biro ace flag

the dark blue on top represents romantic attraction to heavily masc-identifying individuals, the pink stripe represents romantic attraction to heavily fem-identifying individuals, the white represents a lack of sexual attraction, and the purple represents romantic attraction to enbies that aren’t on the traditional male-female gender spectrum, are in the middle, and/or are genderfluid individuals

it’s a lil bit spooky / faded but that’s cuz i wanted it to resemble the asexual flag and look kinda pretty but not over-the-top or flashy like most sexual/romantic identity pride flags are.

What A Year! 2022 in review - Part 1

A year of self-discovery, found fanmily, new favourites and new fandoms

My (a)sexuality and Legends Of Tomorrow

A random discussion in Nov 2021 with my (queerphobic) aunty reminds me of a comment my youngest sister made years ago which prompts me to investigate asexuality. It sounds like me but not sure I understand it idk, still have to think about it. I’ve gone back and forth over the years, am I straight, bi, a late bloomer, broken, is it my autism?

I don’t think of it about it again until Legends of Tomorrow 7x10 The Fixed Point airs, I truely cannot overstate how much this meant to me. While my cursory glance at asexuality left me wondering but confused this on the other hand; understand myself so much more, I feel seen, I don’t feel broken. Stuck in my throat are the words “that’s me,”, words I still can’t seem to say. I don’t know if my mum who’s watching the show with me understood, I don’t know if she saw my tweets later but I still can’t say the words, I don’t know why. I want to look more into asexuality but am still depressed so I don’t do it right away.

The penultimate episode of Legends of Tomorrow airs and I watched most of the episode thinking this would make a beautiful ending if the last episode fixed a few different things (a better end for Zari, real!Alun, etc) then I would love it as a series finale. I always worry about Legends of Tomorrow come renewal time. Then finale of Legends of Tomorrow airs; I love it but it completely fucks with the ‘I’d be okay if they ended here’ vibe I was getting from the previous episode. I take this and Booster Gold’s introduction to mean they are confident in renewal. I do contemplate if a little fan editing on the last 2 episodes could make it a conclusive ending. Which if I had the skills and equipment I would still like to do. When Legends of tomorrow is canceled I take to twitter to campaign.

It’s my first pride month knowing I’m ace. I up my #SaveLegendsOfTomorrow tweet game focusing on the amazing queer rep. I start to interact with the other campaigners but I’m shy. I look more in to asexuality something still seems to not fit. I find that many ace people IDed as bi or pan before finding out about asexuality. I also learn about the split attraction model and oriented aces. I find a new label that fits me biromantic. But I am still trying to reconcile my experience with those shared by other ace people, there’s still something missing, something that doesn’t line up with most others stories I read. I finally find what I am looking for, the missing piece, while lurking on reddit someone explaines what aegosexual is and these parts really clicked:

A disconnect between a person's self and the target of their arousal. Fantasising but envision people other than themselves, and/or view it in third person – as though they're watching it on TV, rather than imagining it in first person, through their own eyes.

Predominantly—or exclusively—fantasize about fictional characters or celebrities in place of people they know personally. Described like a spectator who enjoys sports, though has no desire to participate in the game itself.

-from The Asexuality Handbook and Sexuality Wiki

And like the last 2 labels I’m validated. And I finally make sense. Pride month comes to an end and I am whole.

The WBD merger and the subsequent cancellations leave me demoralised about saving Legends but I’ve found a fanmily I don’t want to give them up. When James Gunn tweeted out recognition of the campaign it gave me back my hope but honestly throughout it all the fanmily has be such fun I have thoroughly enjoyed goofing of with them, my year would not have been the same with out them 🫶. I also owe them for getting me to watch A League of Their Own.

EDIT - 1 week Later: ohhh okay yeah I’m aegoromantic too. So I’m Bi Aroace (Aego) and I made flags

ALOTO

After seeing this show in my tl constantly for 2 weeks I finally watch A League of Their Own. HOLY SHIT!!! I think I’m in love 😍 This show has changed me.

I instantly loved everyone, each character’s intro was brilliant, especially Max and Clance’s it really let you know the characters and that the show isn’t going to whitewash history and will also centre black voices. This show should be taught as a how to do representation in period pieces and on how to remake a film in to a series, centring marginalised voices, intersectionality, the underground worlds where they created for themselves, not shying away from the discrimination and violence but also showing the joy that people managed to carve out for themselves. The trauma and the joy beautifully interwoven.

Carson and Max’s dual stories complemented each other, showcasing the stark contrast of how a black woman and a white woman could interact in the world and showing how individual a queer journey is. Max and Carson’s stories have so many parallels, they are at different times polar opposites, mirrors, and echos of each other. Each at a different point in their journeys as both baseball players and as queer people. By utilising parallels the show drives home it’s themes; found family, following your dreams, determination and perseverance, being true to yourself. The most beautiful example of the parallels, the stark differences and the wonderful way the show’s storytelling is interwoven and intercut is of course episode 6, this has been analysed to death of course so I’ll leave that to the others.

Greta is an amazing complex character, her feminine mask, her anxiety and fear, her true self under the mask and walls she carefully maintains underneath the anxiety and fear. She didn’t want to fall in love, she didn’t believe she could love again, she wouldn’t let herself love again, wouldn’t let herself or someone else get hurt. But even constantly reminding herself that Carson was married, using it was a way to distance herself and to push Carson away, reminding herself that they only have the season, telling herself that she can’t, that she shouldn’t, she falls in love. When Joey is hurt and traded her flight instincts kick in, they usually leave at this point, they wouldn’t even let it get to this point, but of the course of the season Jo has found something, something worth sticking around for, and deep down so has Greta, but she is too scared she has to run, she can’t see someone else put away, she can’t be put away.

Shirley’s (aka me) arc was fantastic, I am 100% on board with OCD hc (also on board with autistic Carson hc), her fears that she would catch the gay was an ever present reminder that even among friends it’s not safe. She trusts Carson above all else, her reaction of betrayal and fear when she finds out about Gretson was terrifying and sad. I wanted her to accept it, to understand, I was praying she would sign her name on the wall, a sign it would be okay. The pay off of her questioning every fear she ever had was perfection.

Clance (aka my fictional BFF) is the funniest most wonderful person, she supports Max with all her heart, she will fight to the death for Max. She is pure and amazing. Just like Shirl her attitudes towards queer people are ‘of the time’ I think it was a great choice to have the characters that love and support the leads be some of the loudest queerphobic voices, showing how complex people can be and how complex navigating in the world is. I hope. Clance will be as open minded as Shirley.

I could go on, I love this show so much, I am afraid that it will be canceled, this year has not been kind in that regard.

That’s all I gotta say. Open to answer more questions, it doesn’t have to be formal or perfectly composed just ask away. Have a wonderful day everyone! o(｀ω´ )o

Vox has terrible taste in men. Like between Alastor, a canabalistic serial killer with the worst haircut I've ever seen who is both aroace & so emotionally constipated and egotistical that he can't even FRIENDZONE you because that'd be showing weakness, and Valentino, a fucking serial abuser/rapist who is so fucking stupid and bull-headed that you have to scream in his face to make him listen and even then only understands what you're trying to tell him after you've gone through a step by step process of the most basic ideas, that man can NOT catch a break dear god-

His taste in women is pretty good tho Velvette's great :)

Okay so obviously I absolutely adore the canon ace rep that Jonathan Sims is and it makes me so happy that it's canon, but even before I knew it was canon this motherfucker had the BIGGEST biroace vibes I had ever fucking seen. I don't even know how to explain it, but I took one look at this scrawny wreck of a person and was like "yep, that's a bi ace if I've ever seen one"

It's so funny to say, but Jon is like. The most accurate biroace rep I have ever seen. Just. Yeah, that's it, that's exactly what it's like. She is the representation the rest of us biroace losers deserve and I am thrilled to have her

My greatest strength and weakness is getting attached to characters that barely exist in canon. Anyway, have Athenodora and Sulpicia being gal pals, because I wanted a new background for my laptop.

The canon queer character of the day is:

Parvati Holcomb from The Outer Worlds, who is biromantic and asexual.

Happy Pride Month everybody! Also a reminder that you are loved and deserve love. <3

Sorry I couldn't draw every flag.

i just really love when an allo character doesn't have a romantic/sexual partner and yeah they feel attraction but don't feel the need for a relationship not because of any special reason but just because they can
