idk man. something about treating objects like they're living, feeling beings makes the crushing reality of the world getting worse a little less painful to me

so hypersexual episodes make you feel like ass apparently (covered in blood)

so stylenna is from a whole other species but they're a sentient video game character. and there's not really anything shown about their species in their canon.

hey dude I found your blog today (not sure why it was recommended to me but here I am)

I dont personally identity with objectum or finding that sort of pleasure from objects, but as I'm exploring the tags im finding myself really curious and I want to understand more. I'm hoping you can answer some questions for me.

the objects you have an attachment to (in your case I think its a keyboard), do you think you're naturally drawn to these objects, or do you think there is a deeper connection with these particular items? Such as a personal history with said item?

Did you "choose them" or did they "choose you", ig?

Do you think its an aesthetic attraction to said objects, or is there something more they bring to you?

How do you and others determine pronouns for the objects?

When did you learn objectum was what you identified with?

I want to be clear this is coming from a place of curiosity and a wish for an understanding! I find myself drawn to certain objects myself (mainly things with physical buttons and screens, particularly handheld devices) but for me its strictly aesthetic and not romantic. Take care and happy holidays ✌️

casually forgets this was sitting in my inbox 😳

my main object isn't a keyboard, it's an astrolite (made by hasbro in 1969), a "futuristic" toy that came with clear pegs that you could put in the holes on top and create a city (main draw). i feel like it's extremely obscure, there's barely any info online about it. the part of aster that i love is basically just a lamp, plug that sucker in (no on/off switch) and spin the wheel to make the pegs on top turn different colors. when i got aster it was just them, no pegs or information or anything. just a serial number on the back. finding that one ebay listing that told me everything i needed to know kinda solidified our relationship. it's definitely a deeper connection but lamps in general just kinda hit different.

i saw them in that store and it was true love at first sight but i'd like to say it goes both ways (has no idea how to explain this)

something about corners and shapes is what initially drew me in but they've been with me through everything ever since i got them. not trauma dumping on side but i've been through it.

i'm not sure how others do it but the way i do it is test pronouns with each object as i'm getting to know them. if it feels wrong i disengage with it, if they feel okay then i keep trying it out. i'm not 100% sure on what aster's pronouns are tbh; they mainly go by he/him but there are some occasions where he goes by they/them. including now.

it's kinda embarrassing to admit but that lamp in dhmis was what got me acting up about objects in the first place. thought it was just a character specific thing at first so i didn't think much of it. met/acquired aster and that completely flipped. i remember searching for stuff like "i love an object what is this called" and quickly came across the term. immediately applied that to myself.

also another thing, i actually have a few beloved objects (not as much as aster but they're pretty important to me): baby, my 2005 ford focus, and charlie, my gaming computer. ofc you probably know this already because i know i posted a list of them somewhere on this blog. but i've kinda been getting into nintendo consoles/controllers recently (corners and shapes <3)

i enjoyed answering these! if there's anything else you'd like to ask, go ahead ☺️ sorry that this took so long tho 😭

what i remember from my dream is telling some woman (ex's mom (not irl)) that my ex did shit to me, then she denied it and proceeded to rattle off some stuff that he Actually did (not irl). which led to me yelling "YOU USED ME FOR FRAUD???"

there was a big racecar event happening at school but one of the brain demons didn't want to go to it so he sabotaged the whole thing. forgot how but whatever

also there was a woman with dreadlocks or something with spikes in her hair. which i thought was neat :>

[electronicobjectum]

i'm really really tired and i probably shouldn't be posting when i'm so tired. but.

paraphiles* don't interact with me or my posts

especially if you think being objectum is a paraphilia

that's all thanks

*people with harmless and consensual paraphilias are fine to interact, if it's inherently harmful that's where i draw the line

[electronicobjectum]

just remembered that people don't usually sleep with big hard objects. kinda fucked up if you ask me

[man-made-object]

btw today i lost my therapist and my psychiatrist appointment was rescheduled for february 1st. lol

[electronicobjectum]

what if your paraphilia is something harmless and able to be practiced consensually, like say... as a hypothetical example... feet, one of the most commonly seen and accepted paraphilias in the world? /genq /nm i mean... not every paraphilic attraction has to be something problematic and despite objectum in and of itself not being exclusively about paraphilias, objectophilia and objectsexuality still exist under the objectum umbrella and people who experience oppression and judgement as a result of their sexual attractions should be allowed to find some form of solidarity with each other regardless of what labels they use. (NOTE THAT I AM N O T APPLYING THIS ARGUMENT TO GENUINELY HARMFUL PARAPHILIAS LIKE PEDOPHILIA, INCESTUAL ABUSE, RAPE OR BESTIALITY, I DO N O T ENDORSE THESE THINGS, BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH). my point being, though, if someone who identifies under the objectum label also happens to identify as having objectophilia, are they still allowed to interact with the objectum community? again, /genq /nm

i'm not gonna put words in your mouth, i completely agree with you (genuine). this whole topic has a bunch of nuance about it but if it's harmless and able to be consented to you're free to interact with me! if it is harmful that's where i draw the line. i should probably edit that post to clarify this as i was barely conscious at the time lmao (if i didn't already say that)

objectums that identify with objectophilia are more than welcome to identify with the objectum community because they're under the umbrella. i, and many others, have problems with people saying being objectum = paraphilia. i'm having trouble thinking of how to explain that more i'm sorry 😭

also i might have a harmless paraphilia myself so like-
