Jake: "Pussy from a girl who hates you"? What ever happened to "a smile from a friend who wants to make you happy"...

Aspecs this one’s for you.

Do y’all feel shameful when you see someone or something that is highly worshipped by societal understanding, and you do not feel that worship in that way? Like i have an idea of what is “hot” and what is “romantic” but sometimes when i see it in fiction/people i just feel empty and then feel guilty bc that is not normal. Hello? Anyone?

Just found out about this quote by Maggie Stiefvater and I'm-

"I was an unsexy teen. I don't mean I didn't look sexy, although I didn't. I mean that I didn't think about sexiness. I was disinterested in dating, didn't care if I ended up in a relationship, didn't think about if other people were sexy or not. Growing up, I never had band posters on my walls or crushed on actors or actresses. It was hard for me to remember what people looked like, period.

I spent my childhood thinking I was an alien and being made fun of for being unable to talk about crushes or sexiness—it's been over three decades, but I still remember a bunch of school kids snatching my sketchbook full of animals and drawing penises on all of them before giving it back to me to see if I would cry (I did not. I didn't understand the interaction to know who was in the wrong, perhaps I was wrong for not finding it funny?).

Why am I typing all this? Mostly because I would like to update the record for the other folks who feel like aliens. I grew up before the internet, so I didn't know there were others out there like me, that I was an acceptable and recognizable part of the spectrum of girlhood, and that the parts of me that were different all came out in the wash anyway, that adulthood could look any old way I wanted it to, no matter what other people were making of it.

I still don't really think of the world in a really sexy way (sorry to readers who are still hoping for me to level up to TruSexy), but I no longer feel like an alien. I've met enough of me out there to know I'm just one of the many variations of human. So this is just me telling those of you who feel like you are not like other humans that maybe you actually are—maybe that human is me."

I'm not here to put labels on real life people and Maggie herself doesn't want that (understandably) but this is making me feel SO validated for my "Ronan Lynch is demisexual" headcanon

Thinking about when I befriended someone because he was wearing a gay hoodie at my largely homophobic school, and later told him I'm aroace. I didn't know this at the time, but before I came out to him, he had a crush on me. And then his younger sister had a crush on me. And then the younger sister's twin brother had a crush on me.

And I didn't know.

asexual guys are literally sooooo attractive like please enter a relationship with me where we don't make out or have sex we just read books and play video games and bake cookies and sleep in different rooms if we feel like it

[anachronistic-falsehood]

whiskey you have GOT to stop sanders sides posting bc im getting more andmore tempted 2 watch it (<< SLASH SILLY i love ur liveblogs theyre so fun hehe :])

MAC. MAC. GRABBING U BY THE SHOULDERS AND LOOKING U DEAD IN THE EYE. IF U LIKE PHILOSOPHICAL DEBATES AND STRUGGLES WITH MORALITY AND CATHOLIC GUILT AND RELIGIOUS IMAGERY. YOU WILL LIKE SANDERS SIDES. the first season is very silly lots of fun filler episodes, kinda cringey (lilly singh and butch hartman are guests in a couple episodes) but after the accepting anxiety episodes we get more PLOT and it's soooo so so good. i am putting these guys in pringles cans and shaking them around ALSO THOMAS SANDERS MADE PLAYLISTS FOR EACH OF THE CHARACTERS AND U KNOW I LOVE CHARACTER PLAYLISTS AND ANALYZING SONG CHOICES/LYRICS

Your thoughts about kinky ace Hawkeye are GENIUS YES YES YES

look, I have an endlessly long post on ace and aromantic Hawkeye that I may eventually finish, but for now shortly:

the idea of not knowing what it is you want to ask for, and even approaching the ideas of it from the fringes is taboo (YES ALAN ALDA I WILL RUN WITH YOUR "HAWKEYE HASN'T BEEN TOPPED BY A WOMAN DESPITE ALL EVIDENCE TO WANTING SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES" AND DO WITH IT WHAT I LIKE)

I say "topped" and not "dommed" on purpose, because that's what I mean about not knowing what to ask for and even the fringes of the idea of it being taboo

and heck, the idea of sex without love is taboo as well -- thinking eternally about Erika shooting Hawkeye down on the marriage front as an awakening of some kind (but likewise one that doesn't have words to go along with it)

and will also run with later-seasons Hawkeye having less sex, but also less touch, and think about how touch-and-sex-and-sex-and-love-and-love-and-monogamy are so intertwined even today, so sex isn't the worst thing in the world, but the attraction is somewhat to the left of what has always been described as something innate

there's a drive for... something, but it's getting out of his head, getting rid of stress, getting into his body, and what other ways are there than sex?

and also the feelings Hawkeye has for his friends are far deeper than any feelings he might have for a respective sexual partner, but there are rules about how close you're allowed to get to your friends -- especially the married ones -- even in a place outside of Society, like the 4077th

something about touch and who is allowed to get close to him and who he wants to have close to him and the general air of "this is good enough -- it's not right, but it's not the most wrong" which imbues a lot of the story in many ways

and also something about sex as a convenient joke to shock people -- in this case taking the "when is a joke a joke" and running with it (versus "when is a joke real," which is also a continuous question with this show....)

I just think he'd enjoy subspace. I think it would be a nice place for him to be. and I think he'd like being cuddled afterwards by the right person, whom he could trust.
