It’s always bothered me how people have explained asexuality as the “lack of a sexuality”, but this yt comment explained it really well! It’s a sexuality defined by a lack of attraction, not a non-sexuality, in the same way zero is a number.
[ID: YouTube comment that reads: Most agree zero is a number even though it’s the actual absence of a number. End.]
This is your friendly reminder that ace/aro people belong in queer spaces. Yes, even cishet ace/aro people. Yes, even cishet ace/aro men. And if I see you tell an ace/aro person that hc a queer character ace/aro is infantilizing them, I will take your fucking kneecaps
Ace moments before I realised I was ace
- Thinking celebrity crushes was just an exaggerated way to say X is aesthetically pleasing and that people weren't actually serious. Making up celebrity crushes just to fit in.
- Being able to acknowledge that someone is conventionally attractive by beauty standards but not feeling attracted towards them. Friend: "Aren't they hot?? I'm dying over those abs!!!". Me: "I mean sure, they look fit and healthy. shrug".
- Making grossed out faces when asked who I would frick during the 'fuck, marry, kill' games. "Look here, the guys in our group are cool and all but even if the opportunity to be intimate with them came, I still wouldn't do it."
- Thinking demisexuality was how attraction worked for the vast majority.
- Being VERY confused on why the girls in my high school year thirsted over the young male student teacher.
- Being genuinely surprised when peers in my high school year got into sexual relationships ("Huh?? Aren't we too young for this?")
- Not understanding what people mean by "the butterflies". Never experienced the physical symptoms commonly associated with a crush.
- Not understanding why thirst traps are used and thinking 'sex sells' is an obvious lie.
- Not understanding the appeal behind hookup culture.
- Reading smut fics and thinking the hyperfixations on a character's physical appearance was so "grown up".
- Not understanding why abstinence is difficult. ("What do you mean you couldn't resist... just don't do it???")
- Not understanding why couples broke up over sex. Not understanding why lack of sex is a deal breaker in relationships. Thinking that I would be perfectly fine if my partner didn't want to be intimate.
Happy ace week everyone. 💜🤍🖤
EDIT: To anyone that's questioning: if you do relate to some of these, there is a possibility you could be on ace spectrum. However, don't take this as THE guide, this is just a recount of my own personal experiences. Instead, I highly encourage you to read up more on asexuality and other ace people's experiences - asexuality is a wide spectrum, and I just happen to fall in the "no attraction whatsoever" side. I'm also happy to answer any questions, feel free to hit me up.
Third comic for ace week! Here goes for late bloomers lol
i jumped out of bed in a cold sweat to make this
id: first image is the tumblr halloween icon, which depicts a skeleton-like ghoul in a spooky red robe. the second image is the same ghoul, now photoshopped to look like they're dabbing. end id
This Week was O O F
This week was rough as hecc! xD Like omg, wow.
It started off really busy, but overall it went really well. Kind of stressful now that I have a side job that requires a lot of time, but it’s working out really well! I really like getting a little extra something on the side.
Then Tuesday came, and I had an insanely bad migraine and an upset stomach. By about 11 am, I had thrown up twice and was in a lot of pain from my migraine. I had to drop off some papers that I graded to the teacher I was helping (side job), so I rode my bike to the building her office was in and dropped them off. Since I was out, I figured that I would go to my ECE class (programming for C++). I went, and I had my sunglasses on since the light was so bright for me, even though it really wasn’t all that bad. My groupmates were worried about me, but I insisted that I stay. However, halfway through the class, I took off and went to the bathroom to throw up. I then skipped my last class since I didn’t want to throw up again. I took an L, but I really needed the rest.
Wednesday was busy, but overall not that bad. However, I got hurt lol. I was riding my bike from work and on one of the streets that I normally don’t take has railway tracks (which is the reason why I don’t take the street). However, since it was midnight and the route I normally take is pretty dark at night, I wanted to take the more well-lit area (the area with the tracks). I got in between the tracks as I was heading down the road and needed to make a turn. I thought I would be able to turn at a strong enough angle to where I would get away from the tracks safely. That didn’t happen lol
I got caught in the tracks and flew like a foot off my bike. I protected my head as I fell since I don’t wear a helmet, so I only have a light scrape in my eyebrow and forehead. My bang and brows hide it well, so it’s not well seen. I have three small cuts on my knuckles, bruises on my side, and a huge scrape on my right knee. It’s at the most inconvenient place too. Like it’s just beneath my knee and is about as big as a half-dollar. It’s also incredibly difficult and kinda painful to move my right arm up very high, like it’s pretty stiff actually.
Thursday wasn’t too bad. I took care of my injuries and tried ti fix my knee, but the patch fell off it at some point during the day so it got very painful. I also learned that I literally cannot move my leg a whole ton out of a certain angle area. Like I keep it slightly bent and can move it only a little more forward and a little more backward. Sometimes it works just fine, but then after a couple minutes of walking it h u r t s.
Today wasn’t that bad. I had a math test that I nearly forgot about and didn’t study a whole ton for. However, it wasn’t all that bad, so I felt fine when I took it. I still have a slight limp on my right leg and my arm has been more stiff today. I kinda wanna get it checked out, but I’m also a #brokebitch so I can’t really do that if nothing really isn’t wrong lol
AAAAAAnyway, I have a work meeting tomorrow and a super busy weekend ahead of me! Lots of grading and homework going on. Imma try and get ahead so I can be more prepared for the week and hopefully relax a little bit lol. I hope everyone has a great week, and I’ll see y’all in the next post! <3
