Please reblog, don’t repost.

Please help boost this comic, since Tumblr isn’t letting it show up in the tags.

If you know me IRL, do not show this comic to anyone else IRL.

…Well, here it is.

This is a story I did not tell anyone for many, many years. If you’re a friend and this is your first time hearing about this… I’m sorry. I only worked up the guts to tell anyone last year, and it was hard telling it once, let alone multiple times. Eventually though I told my therapist about it, and I talked to her about making a comic about my experience, which she said would be a good idea if I thought I was ready for it.

And… I do. I feel ready now.

I wanted to post this during Ace Awareness Week, even though it’s not a particularly happy thing to be aware of. I know a lot of people like to focus on the positive stuff during this week, but I think making others aware of the things we suffer through is just as important.

“No-one cares that you’re asexual” is such a lie, and it’s like a punch in the gut every time I hear it. It’s like being told “you are a liar–what happened to you wasn’t real, or didn’t matter, and you are a bad person for even thinking about it.”

I struggled with thinking what happened to me wasn’t real, or that it was my fault, for nearly a decade. And… I don’t want anyone else to go through what I did.

If you are someone on the a-spectrum who has had a terrible experience like mine, I just want to tell you: Your experience is real, it was not your fault, and you should not suffer alone.

If you are an allo person who is reading this, I want to tell you: Please do not think that our orientation is meaningless, that it is something no one would want to know, that it is not something anyone would attack us over. Please support us and defend us against those who would hurt us.

That’s… all I have to say here, I guess.

Happy Ace Awareness Week.

Been thinking about that "thing you most often pretended to be as a kid" post and the cat alien people that I wrote stories about in elementary school.

Pictured: on right, a yutang, a catlike species of egg-laying marsupial. They're really into numerology and have a base-9 number system. On left, a nyad, a doglike flying monotreme obsessed with military hierarchy. They've been at war with yutangs for a thousand years because neither species remembers that they were both engineered from a third, progenitor species to be disposable soldiers. Yes, eight year old me a had a wild and highly detailed daydream universe and yes The Dark Crystal was a very formative piece of media for me.
