Your gateway to endless inspiration
I was around 16 and was watching a collab between Rowan Ellis and Alice Oseman in promotion of Loveless' release. They were going over common misconceptions about asexuality and sharing personal experiences, and it was the first time I had ever really learned anything about the label. Alice was sharing bits of her experience as an ace/aro person and I found myself relating a bit too well. That video sent me down a rabbit hole of other wonderful content creators, including the living legend Yasmin Benoit herself, and it's to them that I credit my aroace awakening.
Let's talk about our gay/queer awakening moments!
Mine was when I was like 16 scrolling through tumblr and saw a joke that said something like "If you used to make all your sims gay then you're queer now" and that just hit me like a ton of bricks lol
Also when Jade started counting in "Take a Hint" on Victorious 🥵
What's yours?
