parents will be like "we love you no matter what" my mother in christ how can you love me when you dont know me

[alevens]

zolu is maybe one of the easiest ships i've ever liked. they're dating, except when they're not, they're best friends even when they're kissing and they're still captain and first mate when they aren't. they hold hands, they hug. they have sex. they don't.

Luffy can hold Zoro's katanas and Zoro can hold Luffy's strawhat and no one bats an eye. one says "You're so cool!" and the other says "You're strong" and it's just another way to say "I see you, this is why I follow you/this is why I trust you". it's not seeing each other for a long time and still knowing how the other's steps sound like against wood and sand. the captain runs and the first mate follows. it's always "Zoro and the others" and "Where's Luffy?"

if they're just friends, if they're something more, if they don't have a label for it, at its core, it's just about how they get each other. they understand how the other's mind works. however you view them, it doesn't erase they fact that they love each other in a way they don't love other people.

Growing up as aromantic / asexual:

In my childhood and adolescence

After 10 years of desensitization by watching popular media...

...and after few months on Tumblr

I did not even realize how much fed up I already was with all the cisheteronormative couples struggling with stereotypical "gender roles" dilemmas, "traditional family" conflicts and "social expectations" of patriarchal world...

I mean how many times can you watch the same issues over and over again when none of it ever was part of your own not-partnering single life in the first place?

HOW TO FIND AND DESTROY BOTS IN THE ASEXUAL TAG -- A Guide

the bots have become way more creative and sometimes they can go unnoticed by bot hunters because they aren't semi-naked trans women.

the most important thing is to check the tags of posts!!!

these tags are often what bots also tag wrongly in their posts along the asexual tag:

taylor swift

mariah carry

ryan gosling

yellowjackets

starwars

donald trump

the owl house

margot robbie

barbie

across the spider verse

super mario

rwby

and some others that i can't remember

some posts can be really challenging and some accounts can really fool you. the most creative one i've ever seen has to be this:

the bot only had like 5 posts and all of them were about usual, typical life. one was of 2 little girls (the bot's "daughters")

but if you looked at the tags of all of the bot's posts, it did not match at all. there was a mix of asexual, taylor swift, and donald trump

(and also, there's no way a middle aged proud republican would even know what tumblr is)

some other points:

look for bots in the latest section of the tag, not the top (more likely to find bots)

when you find a bot, go to the bot's account and report all of the posts and then the bot itself; even if not all the posts have the tag asexual, it's still a bot

(even if you believe that the user is an actual human person, but have used the asexual tag incorrectly, i would still report all of their posts and then themselves. you should never intentionally tag incorrectly)

the bots tend to reblog their own posts to increase the number of spam posts

stuff like ai art or scenery are usually bots (again, check the tags)

I have seen bots in other languages than English! I've only seen hindi and one that i think was turkish (again, the only way to say they're bots is to check the tags)

i bot hunted for about 1 to 1.5 hours today and i didn't found any bots after a while of scrolling. i think we reported most of them, but there are still some out there.

keep fighting!

we will get our tag back!

I will update this post as I learn more and what people say they see frequently in the comments and/or reblogs

Sometimes I wish that people would learn the difference between sex-repulsion and sex-negativity

[joanofexys]

if people start spinning the sex-repulsed, traumatized by sex so couldn't possibly enjoy sex view with Jean Moreau I will be coming after them with knives because have you morons not learned a single fucking lesson about infantilizing SA survivors

[thatoneluckybee]

hi if you post your explicit or suggestive selfies to asexuality tags, specifically repulsed tags, you are the epitome of dirt. do NOT go to spaces specifically for people who probably do NOT want to see or consume that content, or who may be upset by said content, if you're only going to post that content. screw you. thanks.

[greatalastoraltruist]

I feel like swinging a bat at a hornets nest so I'll say the quiet part out loud. A lot of y'all are bein aphobic as hell when it comes to Alastor. Alastor is seen to act repulsed multiple times in the show when other characters have suggested sexual acts with him and between that and his being confirmed ace, the fact that Alastors tag is still full of smutty fics just shows that you don't respect the character or folks on the ace spectrum at all. Yes, some ace folks aren't sex repulsed but Alastor clearly isn't one of those folks and y'all doing gymnastics to try to justify your constant objectification of our only confirmed ace character says a lot about y'all and how little y'all respect us.

Y'all are doing the exact thing to Alastor that so many of us on the ace spectrum fear from those around us every single day. You don't care about the character at all, you only care about how you wish he would fuck you and there's literally a whole show of other characters you can do that with that isn't the only confirmed ace character.

[princsstwilightsparkl]

saying "if aroace people can date, then can lesbians date men?" is absolutely aphobic narrative btw!

[sleepy-the-loz-enthusiast]

Bro why the fuck is there ai generated nudes on the asexual tag

[random-human-being2311]

The Captain, Kitty and Robin are Alloace-Aroace-Aroallo solidarity. tO ME.

[loveableabomination]

Being ace but also being people-pleasing enough that I think I'm not ace cuz I like to make my partner happy...is a mind-fuck.

[actual-corpse]

Saw a YT vid with the title, "Fandom Can't Handle Asexuality"

You're right, they can't... Because it doesn't fucking exist to them.

[kyacchan-comics]

Sometimes, I still think about that reader who's been following my page for a year or more, positively reacting to my comic updates, but when I shared my support for a new law in support for gay marriage and child adoption in lgbt couples, she wrote an ESSAY about how that was a blasphemy and how could I force children in the hands of sinners and that that law would allow people to persecute Christians.

Ma'am.

Ma'am my main comic is about two women falling in love, one of which is trying to get out her bigoted village. The other one is a druid.

You've been reading it.

I drew them kissing more than once.

Ma'am.

i lied I don't actually like sex. put your clothes back on, I'm going to read my favorite tma episodes to you in my native language. (this actually happens bc my partner doesn't know english that well)
