it's so weird going from my undergrad program which was predominantly queer people to my ma which has been overwhelmingly straight. no offense how am I suppose to care about how you married your state trooper husband for his insurance when I'm still thinking about my friend who had to break up with her ex gf because the ex gf kept getting invited to underground bdsm dungeons in colonial fucking williamsburg (for 100% school related reasons btw) and she did not want to hear about other people having a better sex life than her

I made a joke last week like “yeah things are awful but they can’t get worse right?” And I’ve gotta hand it to god! He did make them worse!

I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.

tbh I really dislike how aphobia tends to be discussed whenever there's some kind of incident that makes it visible to general society. The most common response seems to be some variation of "why would anyone hate asexual/aromantic people, they aren't even doing anything" and it just always sits wrong with me. It paints such a passive picture of our existence and feels like a comment influenced by the level of invisibility that aspec people have in society. Why would you be annoyed by someone who is practically invisible? Just go back to ignoring their existence, it's easy!

But despite the invisibility, aspec people are actually doing quite a lot of things that will piss off queerphobic, right-wing and religious people (and hell, even left-wing people). And the most obvious point is that we are actively not performing heterosexuality the way they want us to. People who's entire world view is "cis men and women should be in monogamous, heterosexual marriage and have (white) babies" are not going to lean back and say "oh but those asexuals and aromantics are fine". They will also hate our guts, and they will come up with all sorts of reasons, including insinuating we're all secretly into bestiality, or mentally ill, or not human, or attention seeking children. It's just plain old queerphobia, and like all queerphobia, there's no inherent logic to it which you can worm your way out of by "not doing anything".

And like, there's a lot more that aspec people do which people hate. Raising awareness about amatonormativity? People feel attacked, they hate it. Asexual people having sex? Or not having sex? People hate it! Aromantic people being in (seemingly) romantic relationships? People fucking hate it! Aromantic people having sex? Ohh people hate that!!

I guess the existence of aphobia can be confusing when you haven't spent much time thinking about asexuality and aromanticism, but in the end, these are identities that aren't heteronormative and they will be hit with the same or similar bigotry as any other queer identity. I just get tired of this response after seeing it recycled for 10 years without ever seeming to go any further.

3 years since I made these stupid mother fuckers

Every year trying to redraw this two.

Idk I think the third year felt especially important as this is the first year I’ve been developing the fanfic/AU they’re in completely alone, not a single person I made this with or who made an OC for this is now really involved at all so I’ve been all nostalgic recently of my first drafts for them in 2022

First drawing I did of them

EDIT OMG I JUSR REALISED I FORGOT TO DRAW SAGES NECKLACES KMS
