a disgrace

Asexual labels explained using cereal

You are in a kitchen, opening a pantry door. It contains every brand of cereal in existence.

Libido- How hungry you are

Sexual Attraction- How appealing each cereal is to you

Sex-Repulsed- The mere act of eating cereal disturbs you. You flee the kitchen to watch Netflix instead.

Sex-Indifferent- Someone brings you a bowl of cereal. Even though you don’t crave cereal, you decide to eat some anyway. Maybe because you want the person to feel happy you’re eating something they provided you. Maybe you’re just that hungry. Regardless, you’re fine with eating it since it’s already there. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t care either.

Sex-favorable- Though you don’t particularly crave cereal, the act of eating cereal is enjoyable. So enjoyable, you go through the trouble of picking a brand to eat.

Asexual with low/no libido- You are rarely hungry, and none of the cereal appeals to you.

Asexual with average/high libido- You are often hungry, but none of the cereal appeals to you.

Aegosexual-  Eating cereal sounds fun in theory but not in practice. You certainly have no interest in eating cereal yourself. You’d rather fantasize about other people eating cereal, thankyouverymuch. 

Gray Asexual- You only like Lucky Charms and Apple Jacks. And maybe Fruity Pebbles but you’re not quite sure.

Demisexual- You see a box of Trix. You are familiar with the rabbit on the box, due to the commercials you’ve seen. You always sympathized with the rabbit for never getting any Trix. There are things in life you’ve wanted but have never gotten. You feel a bond with the rabbit. Suddenly that box of Trix looks tasty.

Fraysexual- You see a box of Cocoa Puffs. You have never heard of Cocoa Puffs in your life. But something about it is oh-so-appealing. You pour yourself a bowl. As you start to eat, you catch a commercial for Cocoa Puffs on TV. You now know what the mascot on the box is like. You lose interest in Cocoa Puffs for reasons you cannot explain.

Lithosexual- You notice a box of Fruit Loops. You feel an urge to eat it. Toucan Sam comes to life and asks you to eat them. This makes you uncomfortable, so you leave to watch Netflix with the sex-repulsed ace.

Reciprosexual- You have no interest in any of the cereal. Not even that box of Frosted Flakes. But Tony the Tiger shows up wanting you to eat the Frosted Flakes. Now that he wants you to eat Frosted Flakes, you want to eat Frosted Flakes. 

Cupiosexual- You want to eat cereal, but none of the cereal looks appealing. Maybe if you grab that box of Corn Flakes, it’ll become appealing to you later? It’s happened to other people. You consider grabbing that box of Corn Flakes, just in case.

Orchidsexual- Some of the cereal looks appealing, but you have no interest in eating cereal.

Aceflux- None of the cereal looks good, so you close the pantry. A few days later, you decide to open the pantry again. Now, some of those brands look appetizing. You check the pantry again the next day. None of the cereal looks good anymore.

Quoisexual- You have no idea if you like a cereal because you want to eat it, or if you just think the box art is pretty. Does liking the box art count as wanting to eat it? Do you just like the mascot? Does liking the mascot count as wanting to eat the cereal? After reading everything I’ve written, you are still confused. You bang your head against the pantry in frustration.

Ok I’m adding to this not as a continuation of the point but to thank OP cause this made me look up a label and discover it fit me better than anything I had used before. So thank you so much for waking up and deciding to use cereal as an explanation cause I’m grinning so widely at finding the term ‘aegosexual’

This is a good post, thank you so much OP

That said, I wanted to give it a go of describing other sexualities for comparison and demi/lith/Frey/recipro with cereal, not they’re mascots, like the others

Heterosexual: you only enjoy wheat-based cereals. This doesn’t mean that you enjoy every wheaty cereal, just that if you do like a cereal, it’s gonna be a wheat one.

Homosexual: same as above, but you only enjoy puff-rice cereal.

Bi/pan/etc: You like cereal of more than one grain type or don’t care what grain it’s made of. This has nothing to do with how hungry you are or how many bowls of cereal you’d like to eat. You wish people would stop assuming you’re hungrier than average just because you like a wide variety of cereals!

Demi: you don’t want to eat Trix, but you see the box every day. You see what trix looks like, smells like, sounds like. After a long time, when you’ve grown very familiar with trix, you find that you do, actually, want to eat it.

Fray: You like eating coco puffs. You get a box and enjoy the first bowl immensely. But you see the box on the shelf every day, and over time that familiarity makes it unappealing.

Lith: eating coco puffs sounds so good. You fantasize about eating cocoa puffs and enjoy that a lot. But when you actually get a box of cocoa puffs, the idea of eating it is abruptly unappealing.

Recipro: You don’t want to eat any kind of cereal when you don’t have any, but just having a type of cereal available makes that one kind of cereal sound delicious.

Bonus:

Polyamorous: you want to eat more than one type of cereal. No matter how much you love a cereal, there’s no reason that means you should never eat anything else. Eating corn flakes one day doesn’t mean that you don’t love trixs

hate it when comic artists draw boobs like this

@eschergirls so, what should we call this phenomenon? Banana boobies or Bruce Timm ta-tas?

Combine that with boobsocks and get banana socks?  Important to vacuum seal fruits to preserve freshness tho.

some breasts are that shape

I assume what’s happened is that many of the artists have been influenced by media from the 90′s in which dressing without a bra was very common and quite fashionable. This meant that you would see breasts in their natural shape rather than the shaped effect a bra creates.

The issue here is less an inability to draw breasts and more a misunderstanding of how tight, restrictive clothing like superhero costumes would affect the outline of the body. 

Also those pictures are clearly very stylized, so realism doesn’t apply so much there.

Oh, that’s the context.

good dad

Right in the feels

For full context: Homer quit working at the power plant and started his dream job at the bowling alley but when Marge got pregnant with Maggie, he had to get his old job back in order to afford three kids (and was briefly bitter about it until Maggie was born and he immediately bonded with her), and Mr. Burns put that sign up as punishment for Homer’s having left the power plant so Homer changed the sign. Moments like this are what makes the classic era of the Simpsons so beyond most other adult animated shows.
