YEAHHHHHH HAPPY PRIDE YA'LL!!!!
(currently reading 2 queer graphic novels at once, in the first one, the protag is openly lesbian with a gf and her friend is in a gay relationship, and in the second one there is a gnc protag and a pan or polysexual protag, with an absolutely AMAZING WONDERFUL GREAT transmasc commander/general who binds and is trying to find hormones)
So i'm having a great time.
Happy Pride Month!!!
of course it is? why would it not be?
Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.
I'm trying to prove something.
i was scrolling for youtube trying to find my identity and stuff, but oh my god, what the hell was youtube reccommending-!?
okay i'll just say it, I'm an asexual, non-binary person, still questioning who I am attracted to, but I am trying!
so I wanted to watch non-binary content, but youtube had a different idea- it showed the second result "non-binary cringe"
HUH!? ITS PRIDE MONTH AND PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING THIS!?
I was only on non-binary on searchbar, so what-- and WHY was I seeing SO MUCH homophobia!? ON PRIDE MONTH!
I'm non-binary, and people wont stop calling me it, and now I'm seeing people like me on cringe compalibation thumbnails.
what the fuck.
screw it, that shits not okay. everyone in the LGBTQ+ community is valid and amazing and recognized and loved, so I want everyone to know that!
JaidenAnimations just made a video on being aroace, and good for her, you know? I’m happy for her.
but I’M SORRY
who gave the you the RIGHT to be inside my head???? the AUDACITY to feel to feel my feelings and think my thoughts, and be able to articulate it for others in a way I never could. EXCUSE ME, you mean to tell me I’m not the only one who feels this and that it’s valid???
is this the representation people keep asking for??? like, this derailed my entire day, how could it feel so good?????
Me because I might be an aroace person who may or may not like girls?? (I'm a girl btw)
My love life is about to be impossible
Sakuko Kodama :D

Reblog if you're asexual and tired
GAY
Okay hi hello! Resident ace spectrum person of fandom space! I can confidently say that no it is not a recipe for eventual problems or break ups. I've literally been in a relationship for five years going on six this month. I found out I was on the ace spectrum about a year into dating my two partners and when I voiced that I might be ace I was encouraged to find out about myself. I was told I was still loved by both of them and it didn't change our relationship. If you find someone you really love and really loves you it won't matter to them. Sex is not integral to a relationship all the time and it shouldn't be the backbone of your love towards someone. Assuming that sex plays such a large part in a relationship is damaging for both asexual and allosexual individuals because it sets an expectation that you can only please and attract someone with your body and nothing else in the relationship matters (it's like when people say "your relationship is failing maybe you should put out more" or "was your sex game really that bad?"). This is not the case though, having an open talk about expectations of sex in a relationship and expressing your low, non-existent, or repulsed view on sexual activity is normal and should happen in all relationships even for allosexual individuals. It lets you know where your relationship stands with someone because if they truly only care about your relationship when they thought sex was on the table it probably wouldn't work out in the future anyways regardless of your view on sex. No one deserves to be put down or told that they have to seek out someone just like them (which is easier said than done) just to find love. Please if you share the same view as the person in the third post please take a second to reevaluate your view on sex and why you believe it's so important in a relationship that you think an ace person can't have working relationships with people outside of other ace individuals because I assure you we can.
one of my fandom litmus tests is whether or not ppl think asexual characters can be in relationships because some of y’all would rather write five paragraph essays explaining why you can’t ship them with anyone than redefine the way you view love (aka acknowledge rather than invalidate relationships that have no sexual physicality)
I just found out about a subreddit called r/actualasexuals where the whole thing is being a dick to people who don't fit their narrow definition of asexuality. I just wanted to let people know so they can stay away. Of course, don't harass anyone in that sub, because it doesn't help and it's just plain wrong. Just do everything in your power to stay the hell away!

“ACES BELONG AT PRIDE”
a PSA for the naysayers and encouragement for those who need it. mostly the latter rather than the former, but for those who needed the PSA:
you’re welcome.

These used to be big things?! Genuinely, maybe three years ago I saw a post about using a black ring and I thought it was a very small thing, maybe made up by the person I saw the video from. I never realized it was an actual thing!
I have seen the cake and garlic bread stuff, but I didn't know about the spades symbolism, the dragon or space stuff, it sounds so cool!!!
I always saw the big amounts of content regarding other sexualities and never a lot about the ace community, I'll be honest, it made me feel isolated and like I was the only one or the one out of place.
HOLD UP HOW WAS I NOT AWARE OF THIS
I love the aromantic or aro-spec Ruan Mei headcanon but I fucking hate like 90% of the people who headcanon her as aro/ace.
Her whole struggle to understand love and passing that on to the cat cakes she created would be so fascinating to explore through the lens of being aro. Because yeah, struggling to differentiate between different types of "love" is a very aro experience.
But so. Fucking. Often. The sentiment I see around the headcanon? "Ruan Mei is emotionless and therefore aroace," or even worse (and this is a direct quote lifted from a comment I saw, and I have seen similar ones multiple times), "I'd consider Ruan Mei's psychopathic ass to be aroace". Which is, in my opinion, very telling of the way you think about aroace people. Because why is your one aroace headcanon the character who is shown to have dubious-at-best ethics and little understanding of other people? Why do you think that this makes her aromantic?
I am so, so tired of the idea that "aromantic/asexual = emotionless" or vice versa. We have emotions. We just don't experience romantic/sexual attraction. The idea that aromantic people have something wrong with them, that we are somehow broken, is an idea that we should have left behind long ago and I'm fucking tired.
Sex is ok but like. have you tried good pasta
Pride flags. Second edition ! (I have one flag left, and it's missing me off) (please suggest more so i can live in peace)
HAPPY PRIDE!!!
