#cishet people confuse me

Agshsbsbsj thinking again about my mom being like "Is Tails a girl??" after that scene from Sonic movie 2 where Sonic and Tails have a heart to heart and then sleep beside each other

Like

Woman played Sonic 2

She saw how that scene was directed and asked the rest of the family if Tails was supposed to be a girl because she was confused

Meanwhile I was sitting there with second hand embarrassment (pre being a sonic fan) like "No no I have to be misreading this like they did not actually direct this to make it seem like one of those usual romance heart to heart scenes between the male and female leads. They didn't literally subtextually code them as gay did they??"

look i'm gonna say it. some relationships are not queer, & that's okay. you don't have to cling to the idea that it's only okay if you can somehow make it queer. it's okay to be in a cishet relationship. the type of relationship doesn't make you less queer & it doesn't make cishet people inherently like. evil or something. chill out

Its not "harmful" for Anyone to identify with Any label. "Mspec lesbians/male lesbians hurt lesbians/trans/bisexual people, its harmful for you to-" srry i didnt realize being things or using words was equivalent to like punching somrone in the face. Etc

found out what agender is and im afraid i might be becoming, as they say, an aaa battery

[geraskier]

im almost as uncomfortable in a suit as a dress but i could probably fuck with a skirt. like i could wear a tutu but the idea of putting on a tuxedo makes me dysphoric. slipping into masculinity isn't comforting i'd rather be an effeminate fey creature

Tbh I'm shocked I haven't posted this here, I drew this in March of 2022. I knew for sure I was Ace at the tail end of 2021, when having a conversation with my cishet male friend about a D&D PC of mine's sexual habits, and how "unrealistic" they perhaps were given the personality I gave him. It wasn't offensive to me at all, but it made me think, why did I make him so reserved? And a few days later it smacked me that this was likely because what I had suspected for about a year prior was true - my ass is Ace.

And this explained a lot about me and my thoughts and habits throughout my life. Sex never bothered me, but I had no desire to even consider it unless I was already close to someone, and couldn't understand how other people didn't feel the same. I never had celebrity or fictional crushes, and I got teased a lot for being ~a virgin~ (which, honestly, made me FURIOUS because who were they to tell me what to do with my body?). That and how I interacted with the few irl crushes I did have (which if we're counting, 3 people in my 30 years on this earth) really pointed in this direction.

And in true Ash fashion I realized I sit in this category via an OC. Because of course. It's on brand and absolutely hilarious.

Anyway, Happy Pride, to those who are out and those who aren't, and remember just cuz the month is over it doesn't mean your visibility doesn't matter anymore. Also, fuck them terfs.

Listen I'm all for using multiple pronouns, go crazy, it's not up to me to decide how you wanna live your life, but-

If you use different pronouns for the same person, IN THE SAME SENTENCE, I'm going to automatically think it's a different person

"She thought that they said-" sounds like two different people please

mental health growth is: no longer maladaptive daydreaming about my friends crossing state lines and oceans to visit me in the hospital after i do something criminally stupid :) bc its the only way i can fully believe they care about me, now its maladaptive daydreaming about seeing my friends again in a sunny, warm park or across a bustling convention floor where i can tackle hug them for a solid few minutes and kiss their faces and introduce them all to each other bc i can for the first time ever fully believe theyd be happy to see me again

The way people talk about dating is appalling. Dating up. Unironically judging people on a scale of 1-10. Putting things like education or job or owning a car above geniuine connection. Dating apps pairing people up with the use of algorythms. There's this kind of almost detached mathematical formula to all of this and I'm so tired just thinking about it all.

I fucking hate people with supportive parents I fucking hate you

It's so tacky when white liberals attack communist online on the behalf of the poor people who had to suffer the communist (vague) regime in their homeland. I mean if anything communist was a slur I was called in school until I looked it up then realized maybe it's interesting, especially given cultural context, and kind of bold that some people not only reclaim it, but look into it. Because the problem in many case wasn't communism, but corruption and that comes with every political system and turns out that if these people really wanted to genuinely sympathize with us that much and were sincere instead of just oversensitive and doing a shit effort to preserve a good image, well, they'd drop any ounce of patriotism for their own culture, and do the effort to actually analyze its real impacts. But given the current circumstances and various before, I doubt that ever happen. Like if I have to pick between white american kids reclaiming communism or liberals who appopriate every whatever cause to speak on the behalf of people they won't ever try to genuinely understand I wouldn't even hesitate a fucking second.

pro of dating someone who uses he/they/she pronouns: you can relate to any love song as long as the singer's pronouns match yours or don't matter

con of dating someone who uses he/they/she pronouns: you can also relate to any breakup song

there is no way my mom got mad at me for saying that people struggle to tell whether i'm a girl or not based on my voice-

there is no way she just got mad at me for that- except she did and i can't stop laughing-

and i've been laughing about this for like 5 minutes, because it's funny and i don't know why it's just-

why does having contact with guys often feel so much like doing parcour but you've never done it before and everything is on fire and you're on fire and-
