I hate to even be asking this, but...

I need help. Anyone that knows me outside of Tumblr knows that I hate asking for it, especially when it comes to financial situation. But the last 4 years have been hit after hit after hit.

While I'm making better money than I was before we moved to CA, I bring in half of the household income. And while normally this wouldn't be an issue, I have underlying debt that has accumulated because I was having to supplement the household income more when my dad was off work three separate times for medical procedures. On top of this, there were expenses related to the health of our pets - two of the dogs were older when we moved, the third on medication. We've had to say goodbye to all three over the course of the last 2 years, the last being this year and completely unexpected (if you follow me on Instagram, you know).

I'm still trying financially recover from all this, and pay down the loan I took out last year to cover for a trip that we had to take back up to WA. I'm trying to not take out another loan, or do debt consolidation, because I don't want to tank my credit incase we need to move due to our space rent going up, hence asking for donations. I also need to get maintenance done on my car that I had to put off because I had to get a new battery for it.

I know asking for anything right now is a lot, so I'm willing to do commissions, too, if necessary. If you've been following me long enough, you may have seen my art related to Star Wars Rebels.

If possible, I need to raise $1500. It'll pay off one bill, and allow me to get the work done on my car.

If you want to donate, please message me so I can confirm identification- I've already gotten some weird messages from my post earlier- and I'll give a link to PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle.

Thank you.

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.
