Anyone complaining about there being no sex in Heartstopper is weird. Maybe let the main characters just be 15/16.

Saw a post a few days ago that said the Sith could lead the Jedi to the dark side by using lust alone.

That's just bullshit.

Ma'am the Jedi ain't catholic priests and they sure are not celibate, they are in far more polycules than a person can physically keep track of, to them nudity is just another aspect of a someone's being that's neither a taboo nor something shameful to be hidden away, and physical touch is just a way to show love (of any type) to others.

Yes they fuck nasty, they would have an impassible face while looking at the Sith undressing themselves, and then would look at those dark side titties and say "Saw and had far better last Thursday, can I go home now?"

And those who don't fuck by choice you say? They'd look the Sith in the eyes and say "You really think you're that special uh?"

I don't care what you allos say, Jedi would not be led to the dark side with a fuck, come on.

Yes this is a hill I'm ready to die on.

the entire leslye headland collider interview is a hot mess but this exchange especially is driving out of my mind. in what galaxy are these people living?? in any other work, someone forgiving you even as you kill them would be the ultimate expression of compassion and unconditional love. that is so, so good! it's delicious and heart-wrenching, i love it!

but to these people, it's... taking away the killer's agency?? what??? so now luke skywalker throwing away his lightsaber and telling darth vader that he won't fight him in return of the jedi (1983) is taking away vader's agency? adding insult to injury? and not, i don't know, the other third guy in the shadows making them fight in the first place?

also, IN WHAT UNIVERSE ARE KILLS SUPPOSED TO BE SATISFACTORY. THIS ISN'T A VIDEO GAME!!!

asexuality and aromanticism are very different identities that mean very different things. asexuals and aromantics can also share a number of overlapping experiences. these things can coexist.

You ever just get so happy b/c your friend(s) make you feel so secure you just simply just cannot contain yourself? Then you project all of that through gifts, trinkets, and acts of service? Sometimes even just demanding a hangout b/c you want to bask in their presence so badly?

Like, you bring me so much joy I have to pause everything I'm doing in life just to appreciate your existence. I have to drop my phone mid-text just to kick my feet and giggle 'cause talking to you makes my day. Thank you for that. You really don't know how much that means to me. Please, take this tiny purple dinosaur as a token of my appreciation for all that you've done.

You want help with homework? Done. You want to yap together about theories we have from a series? Absolutely. You want us to play a horror game together? Of course. You want some help with baking? We can figure it out together. You want me to help you film a youtube video? I'll be there without a second thought.

AAAAAAA FRIENDSHIPS ARE AMAZING.

what is breaker's relationship with the other characters in his game like post-movie? did he have to deal with any obstacles in the way of people fearmongering/being disapproving about him noticeably changing his appearance similar to how vanellope's racing was treated or were they mostly supportive? this is getting too long now but was his relationship with king candy known at all to the rest of the arcade?

It's somewhat complicated! Only one of the other characters from his game are openly supportive of him, that being Lily, and the others range from indifference to disapproval. In general, Breaker is distrusted by anyone who knows what's up with him.

About his relationship with King Candy? It was never clear what that relationship actually was, but it was certainly something people would gossip about.

I’m aromantic because I don’t experience sexual attraction. And I’m asexual because I don’t experience romantic attraction.

Anyone who has an issue with that can just deal.

[sttardelicious]

I hate when an allo person reads loveless and just don't get it. They just hate the book and the reasoning is something that is an aroace experience.

I don't care if you dislike the book, it's your opinion, but I just saw someone saying one of the reasons was bc in one part georgia said she wished she was gay and her friend didn't say anything, and then this person compared this to straight girls saying they wish they were gay, and this made me so mad, bc YOU FUCKIN IDIOT, MOST AROACES PEOPLE HAVE THE PHASE WE WISH WE WERE OTHER SEXUALITY BC WHEN YOU'RE DISCOVERING YOURSELF ITS LONELY, IT'S NOT IN A STRAIGHT GIRL WAY AND MORE IN A "I don't want to be lonely" WAY!!

anyway, I also hate when allo people say the book is boring bc of the aroace, YOU DUMBASS, THIS BOOK IS FOR US, YOU GUYS HAVE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE BOOK FOR YOU, LET US HAVE SOMETHING TOO!!!

my god, how can allos be so irritating

[mossy-aro]

i love being ace in a way that confuses the shit out of allo people, god bless

Hot Take: Romance isn't an exception to verbal consent. Don't pressure someone into going on a date/dating you, don't kiss them without asking, don't rest in their arm without asking, don't put your arm over them without asking, Don't repeat your flirting if someone tells you to stop and most importantly, DON'T force them to love you. Consent is and should always be essential in relationships and if your refused, take a damn hint and move on.

Tsum tsum mayhem

Imagine how much WORSE it would be if the tsum tsums that came to twisted wonderland were like those from tsum tsum shorts on the Disney channel. Those things are CRAZY. so here's some headcanons.

So in the shorts, tsum stums have 2 abilities; to grow to 3-4 times their size at will, and shrink back to normal by expelling steam from their ears or nose. Or to be able to create 4 copies of themself by sneezing!

so if there was a mc tsum, everyone would be trying to take it from the others to spend some time with it. best way to give the poor tsum some peace is to have it sneeze a bunch. now everyone gets a tsum mc!

Tsum riddle would grow to 3 times his size so often when he gets mad, which is a lot.

DO NOT ALLOW FLOYD'S TSUM TO SNEEZE. it happened once and they had to lock up the extras in a room until they disappeared. mass destruction ensued and the area of the incident was unrecognizable within 5 minutes.

floyds tsum loves to scare everyone by jumping off of high places since tsum's just bounce.

Epels tsum wants to sneeze and try to beat up Vil. epel is tempted to let it happen.

If rook had a tsum it would be silent instead of making squeaking sounds every time it moved like all other tsum's.

The octatrios tsum's can turn into mer tsum's when in the water for long enough.

Rook can understand the squeaking language of the tsums, he just likes to pretend he doesn't hear the sheer amount of cussing and insults epels tsum is screaming.

Leona's tsum will grow big just to shove other tsums off of it.

Jack's tsum is the only tsum that tries to keep the others from causing too much chaos. will multiply himself to be more efficient and loves to lift things by growing and shrinking.

Sebeks tsum will gro big in-between malleus and anyone who get's too close for the tsums liking. If malleus asks it to stop it will be on the verge of tears.

Riddles tsum causes trouble but does uphold the other tsums it can see to the queen's rules.

And last but not least is caters tum

It will 100% use a mix of its abilities to create good pictures and asthetics

Cater and the tsum bond even more due to both having the ability to make clones of themselves.

multiple caters and multiple tsums ave been seen around different areas of the campus to get the perfect shot.

I keep seeing posts where people are saying "Valentines doesn't effect asexuals!" "romantic relationships have nothing to do with asexuality!" And while i understand the point they are making is to stop conflating Aromanticism with Asexuality, it is still extremely annoying to find people don't understand the nuance that comes with asexualities connection to romance - because it DOES have a connection to it. It DOES have problems in relation to romance. To say it doesn't is ignoring a huge set is experiences that ace people face.

One of the most common experiences for asexuals is the struggle to be in romantic relationships because they are asexual. a lot of romantic relationships expect you to have sex. if you're someone who doesn't have sex then unfortunately that causes a lot of people to lose interest in you romantically as well.

There's also non-sam aces, and let me tell you it's so very strange to hear someone bring up non-sam aros but then ignore the existence of non-sam aces in order to prove some point of it somehow being ace peoples fault that aro and ace are viewed as the same. Some non-sam aces do not date either. they are still ace and they can still face similar problems to aromantic people because of that. they are still effected my amatonormativity.

Aces DO have connection to romance. Asexual DID have a reason to trend on valentines day along with Aro and Aroace. Asexuality is effected my romance and amatonormativity. Sop acting like it isn't. stop acting like aros and aces have absolutely nothing in common. We can work together and have similar experiences and still be seen as separate identities. there is overlap. stop treating this as black and white where one identity can only be effected by one kind of problem. It's naive at best and down right hateful at worse.

Me: *complaining about how it's hard for me to relate to typical girl characters bc media makes it seem like all girls are boy crazy and the universal teenager experience revolves around romance and crushes and that just wasn’t true for me*

My mom: Well that’s because you’re not normal. You know, for everyone else that is what it's like

Me: *looks at the camera*

[squeezetheduck]

Here’s the thing with people shipping Alastor, I could not care less about who people ship Alastor with or whether they ship him at all, what I do care about though is people making him allo.

This is one of the few cannon ace (possibly aro) characters out there and he can 100% be shipped in verity of ways without ignoring he is ace or aroace.

Make him aroace but still platonicly obsessed with Lucifer or Vox.

Make him sex repulsed or indifferent it doesn’t really matter (I could 100% see him having sex with someone for entertainment purposes just like I can see him being sex repulsed).

Even make him Demi/grey-ace if you must show him reciprocating sexual attraction.

Bonus points if he’s aro and you play around with platonic relationships/QPRs.

I know at the end of the day he is a fictional character and people will do what they want, but please listen to aro/ace fans when we ask you not completely ignore his sexuality when there are so many ways you can still play around with his characterization without disrespecting one of the few cannon ace characters to exist in TV.
