The best way I can describe to an allo person how you feel about sex as a topic as a sex-repulsed or averse asexual is that it feels like a hype that never ends. As though Despicable Me came out and everyone around you was sending minion facebook memes to each other for years to come. The stores are full of minion themed products; they're in ads and your friends talk about them all the time. And deep in your heart you're like "I'm glad that they're able to enjoy something I personally don't like and am not interested in :3". But there is always this little voice in the back of your head that's like "If I have to see ONE MORE of these little yellow FUCKERS today then God help us all." You make an active choice to communicate only the former.
This scene lives rent free in my brain
This is how you match each other's freak

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.
saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him
I know I used mcr as the template but this is true for like thirty bands someone help me
scrolling through the spn tag on ao3 is tormenting bc literally everything is something weird, like 1 in 10 is something that I'd be willing to read, even if I have filtered out stuff I don't like/wanna read about :D what tf is this fandom on?
sooo I figured it out yay! they're supposed to be ITE-artworks.
here's the finished product :)
it's named 'taivas ja luomakunta' or 'heaven and creation/cosmos' I think in English. but the translation doesn't have the same feel as the og to me
close-ups bc I'm kinda proud abt how they turned out:
ofc I had to make one of them an angel (I was watching spn while crafting these so). the wings were so much work and frustrating bc they're not the same shape and turned out different than I hoped but they're fine ig. plus the wire coloured my fingers grey so that was fun :D
and the reference painting for anyone interested. Taistelevat metsot (the Fighting capercaillies, 1886) by Ferdinand von Wright

so happy to see the babies on the tl agian 🥹🥹#
every episode I rewatch, I don't remember what happens based on the name, but in the first five minutes of the ep something makes me go "ohhh, this one. I remember this." e.g. I just started 01x11 'scarecrow' and immediately when I saw the forest I remembered what happens, like the ep flashed through in my mind.
