#wlw asexual

[midnight-love-song]

I’m very asexual but I LOVE romcoms and dating shows and enemies to lovers and tasteful steamy scenes and love poems, but in the same way I LOVE black hair and green eyes and pretty dresses and cute glasses and gold jewellery, they’re beautiful, I just don’t want them for myself.

Normalise aspec people loving traditionally allo culture, just in a different way <3

date your friends - by which i do not mean you must literally date your friends but by which i mean go out to dinner with your friends, buy your friends flowers, tell your friends you love them, write your friends love letters, play your friends songs that make you think of them, help your friends with moving and doctors appointments and listen to their worries and joys. love one another so entirely and i promise the world will feel so much brighter and you will have a community full of love

Just read an article that used the abbreviation ‘msm’ for ‘men who have sex with men’ and I think it’s something we could really utilise within the aromantic and aspec communities.

eg) XLX - loving

wlw/ mlm/ nblw/ nblm/ nblnb/ wlm etc.

eg) XSX - having sex

wsw/ msm/ nbsm/ nbsw/ nbsnb/ wsm etc.

eg) XRX - in a relationship (you can define this however you want: romantic, sexual, neither, both, queerplatonic, other, unlabelled etc)

wrw/ mrm/ nbrm/ nbrw/ nbrnb/ wrm etc.

like this could be such a useful tool for easily differentiating experiences within informational communication!!

It would be great if we, collectively as a community, stopped throwing other lgbt people under the bus to talk about our own issues. It’s really not that necessary.

Like to would be great if we talked about transfem problems without randomly throwing in “yeah because transmascs have it so easy!”

It would be great if we could talk about the issues that come with being a certain sexuality without complaining about lesbians, or bisexuals, or gay men, or polyamorous people and how we think everything is about them (newsflash: its not and they have their own issues because being any type of queer is hard)

It would be great if we could let other lgbt people have representation and be happy for them, instead of turning it into complaining about how others don’t have as much representation. You know you can talk about wlw shows getting cancelled without making mlms feel bad for getting another season of heartstopper right? It’s not their fault and it’s good that they’re getting rep.

We can talk about our issues without making other queer people out to be our enemy, because they’re not

Queer YouTubers That Don’t Suck:

So after all the horrible stuff with James Somerton you might want queer video essayists who aren’t like that. Here are some of my favorites along with my favorite videos of their’s

STRANGE ÆONS - History of Queer Women’s Symbols

Spacey Aces - Asexual Imposterism | Am I Fake?

Rainbott - Why are all Cryptids queer icons?

Lily Simpson - The Trans Boy Meets World Episode

Hana Hyperfixates - Gravity Falls and LGBTQ+ subtext: Decoding the Queercoding

Rowan Ellis - The Tedious Repetition of Coming Out Movies

Oakwyrm - A Delightful Dead End

Jessica Kellgren-Fozard - Are You a Butch, a Femme, or a Stem?

Dreamsounds - Boy Bands & Queer Feelings

[delete-the-kisses]

actually fuck every straight person who says heartstopper is unrealistic and clichée and cringe. you get unrealistic and clichée and cringe ALL THE TIME. you get rom coms with a happy ending. you get the fireworks and flowers and movie kisses. and we (queer people) get the vague hand-holding and sad endings.

personally i love that not every piece of queer media isn't tragic. we need more cringe, clichée, unrealistic queer love stories. we need the queer kids to know that it CAN be happy and amazing. <3

[will80sbyers]

any type of censorship over LGBTQIA+ age appropriate themes / movies / books in schools is outright discrimination and should be called out as such

October 22-28 is Ace Week 2023, so I’d like to give a spotlight to some manga I have enjoyed that have also touched on asexuality.

I Want To Be A Wall by Honami Shirono

A 3 volume Josei manga about the lavender marriage between Gakurouta, a closeted gay man who pines for his childhood friend, and Yuriko, an aromantic, asexual BL fangirl.

She Loves To Cook, and She Loves To Eat by Sakaomi Yuzaki

An ongoing yuri Josei manga with a TV adaptation about two women who bond over food. The series recently introduced Yako, an asexual lesbian, and it’s possible that protagonist Nomoto may be on the ace spectrum as well.

Is Love The Answer? by Uta Isaki

A single volume josei manga about Chika, a young college student who has always considered herself an “alien” because she has no desire for romance or physical intimacy, but finds community with people like herself.

Our Dreams At Dusk: Shimanami Tasogare by Yuhki Kamatani

A 4 volume Seinen manga about a closeted gay boy who gets to know the patrons of a drop-in center who all turn out to be part of the LGBTQ community. Someone-san might be considered a deuteragonist of the story.

I’d also like to mention two yuri manga I haven’t finished yet- I have only read the first volume of both- but because of what others have said I know they feature asexual characters!
