i'm aroace, sex repulsed and don't get traditional romance or find the need for it, but I still often think how it would be neat to have a gf/partner for other purposes that arent romance and sexual. but it seems impossible to make someone want to date you if you take out those things????
sometimes I think it would be nice to have a gf to do cute gay cosplay photoshoots with. there would be mouth smooching and you usually can't do that with a friend and I don't really want to either, so a gf would be useful for that.
then there's hating showers because they exhaust me and it would be nice to have a gf to wash my hair and stuff for me??? can't call up a friend to do this every time I need to shower. that won't work and I doubt they'd want to/be comfortable doing that.
most friends will end up putting all their priority into their partner and/or family they create. I want someone that will make me their priority and not run off with someone else they start dating and abandon me??? something like that. their priority is cleaning our home together, hanging out together, going shopping and other domestic/partner stuff. they don't do that with someone else or use me temporarily until they can find a partner. so it's essentially dating/being partners. but it looks different from your typical expected romance and partnership.
doesn't matter how aroace I am, I have accepted that a relationship is beneficial in many ways and there's certain things that you can't expect friends to cover and they can't fill. but I have zero interest in looking for a partner in traditional ways that requires small talk/flirting/dates/etc. so that makes me realize i'll most likely not trick someone into partnering with me lmao
the internet seems to call this kind of thing "queer platonic relationship" (did I remember it right?) and you just need to find another sroace person to do it with. but either way, there's no textbook to study for how to get that and where to find these people. it seems harder than the puzzle that is regular dating tbh.
there's that saying "there's other fish in the sea" but i'm a worm in a puddle the other worms got out before they drowned. there's no fish here lmao. my options are so limited that I haven't met a single option yet in my life. there's barely any chance the first aroace person I meet irl will be compatible, or the first compatible person will accept a relationship with an aroace. you know what I mean? any other aroace that's interested in some kind of relationship/partnership and feel like you don't get that whole sea to choose from like everyone else and only have a dried up puddle? 😅

Obligatory Cardverse AU hehe.
The Land of Spades have always been reigned by a Matriarchy. The title of Queen of Spades passed from mother to daughter for generations until Queen Elizabeth's premature death.
Princess Arthur is her only heir and at the age of 10 he’s forced to take the throne. The last wish of his mother was for him to be raised and taught like all Queens before him, despite of his gender.
At the dawn of his 25th birthday Queen Arthur still hasn’t find a proper Prince to marry. Kings purpose in Spades is to be strong enough to defend the kingdom and to give the Queen a heiress.
By the rules of Spades a Tournament has to be held to find a new King, anyone strong enough to beat the castle Knights in swordfight can partecipate.
The Queen is torn by his responsabilities to find a Prince and not being able to fall in love and have a merry wedding like in the fairytales he used to read.
———
Amelia was chosen as Arthur’s chaperone when they were both kids, mainly because of her mother’s work with the royals as a blacksmith.
She’s the only friend the Queen was ever allowed to have and knows all about his worries for the future. Their relationship was always very close growing up, until Amelia stats to crush on Arthur and out of respect for his duty as a Queen decides to leave the castle to find a purpose elsewhere.
———
The day of the Tournament finally arrives, many men try to fight for the throne and many fails. Until a mysterious traveler challenges the Queen himself.
Not many knows but Arthur is an excellent swordfighter, probably the best in all Spades.
Intrigued by the person in armor he accepts and fights them, only to be defeated by his childhood friend Amelia now all grown up.
((This was pretty long from my usual stuff sorry;;;
I craved buff Prince Amelia x twink Queen Arthur so I made my own.
The oufits I drew are extra fancy because I was imagining the coronation scene,,,))

"You load all your clothes into the washing machine and stare dramatically out the bathroom window, since you don't have anything else to wear. When you slip them back on, you gain +100 CLEAN, which isn't a stat, and +2 BOLDNESS!"
ive had this cardigan and these pants for a while and i knew they went together but it only recently occured to me that hey. oz is yellow. i can be yellow, too.
i also learned during this that i cannot handle putting eyeliner on my upper lid. waterline, however? thats apparently free game.
i do not want to talk about how much the saturation of this sweater irl fucked with my camera.
image caption uhh. imagine having to pay a dollar in change to wash your clothes every time. idk bro i took these pictures a month ago

Hello Caleb Widogast cosplayers whomst I am sure follow me, I have a question for you all
I need to order a wig for a character whose hair looks like it's meant to be a similar shade/length to mid-to-late campaign Caleb (who is also, coincidentally, a sad German man who loves books) and have been having a hell of a time finding one I'm pleased with, even with the help of an Arda color wheel borrowed from a friend. What wigs have some of you purchased for your costumes?
Arda are my preferred wig source but I'm willing to consider another place if you've been really happy with one. If you're willing to share pictures that would be ideal, but you certainly don't have to.
Vielen dank, Freunde.

My Sorey cosplay! Nice to bring out an old fave, it still holds up. Well other than the glove which did not survive this photoshoot LMAO the gold material just broke down
all peeling and stuff like pleather fabric does i guess, but since it's not something I wore that often it's a shame it didn't last longer. thankfully on the inside so you can't tell in the pics but i'll have to remake it with a tougher fabric
