I Still Can't Get Over The Fact, That Pyro X Sniper Pairing Is Unironically Called "IT BURNS WHEN I PEE"

I have art block bad so have some filler. Tf2 teenager edition (spy isn’t here because idk man.)

A Life with Less Societal Expectations

Lacking something sometimes feel so alienating.

Aside from asexuality and aromanticism that can exclude you from romantic and sexual experiences, aplatonicness is also something hard to take. It excludes you from so many things life has to offer.

Aroace people who are also aplatonic, aspec peple who struggle to make friends, aspec people who are outcasts, aspec people who are loners, aspec people who have a past negative experience with friendships, aspec people who are introverted, aspec people who are not comfortable with social interactions, aspec people who were bullied, aspec people who were the last choice in a friend group, aspec people who don't have a stable social circle, aspec people who only have two or three friends they can truly trust, aspec people who have social anxiety, aspec people who are always misunderstood, aspec people who have an "unfriendly" appearance, intimidating aspecs, aspec people who try to fit in so hard but it always feel fruitless, aplatonic people who are happy, aspec people who have no choice but to be by themselves, aspec people with avoidant attachment style, aspec people who love the friends they have but don't know how to show it.

It can never feel the same.

But does it have to?

The successful and happy life seems to be so linear. Graduate, get a high-paying job, be financially secure, find a partner, get married, have children, have sex. Build friendships. It's tiring having to stress out when it's ever gonna happen in this life.

Being aro and ace can already exclude you from at least two experiences. Does being a socially-anxious have to exclude you from making meaningful friendships too?

At this point, it won't even matter anymore. A life with less societal expectations is good too. At least, by carrying those labels around, there is a concrete reason for not engaging in a certain activity for the experience.

Additionally, building a life where we don't have to feel like we're missing out on what is socially expected - dating, getting married, having children, having sex, friendships - doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Lacking something doesn't need to be so alienating. If you extricate yourself from the feeling that makes you uncomfortable in the first place - not having a certain relationship - and replace it with something good, like focusing on your career and volunteering, it feels much more fulfilling.

Accept the void.

I hate it when people try to make small talk with me by asking what shows I'm watching because I really don't watch any shows. I'm just like "I actually spend hours watching 2+ hour long video essays on Youtube."

Idk how to explain to people that my dumb ADHD brain hisses at the prospect of investing in new series but loves Youtube videos I can easily zone out to or stop and start.

old man yaoi

(The old man yaoi is forced tho/silly)

Science Party Slumber

My first ask, nice! I was gonna draw Red Oktoberfest, but remembered these two spent what they thought were their final days together doing experiments. I'll probably draw pyro maskless next time! I have to be honest, I don't really ship anyone 'cause I'm selfish and I want them all for my own and I'm a bit delulu. But the dynamics between the characters are just so MMMMMMMM so damn good. Please Valve just let me see them being friends, I want to see how they act off the field Im desperate. Also sorry about this not being the highest of quality

For you      I would fall                 from grace

ok so apparently TERFs believe that when we say something along the lines of "reblog this post to turn everybody trans by 2050" that we're actually serious.

anyway reblog this post to turn everybody trans by 2050

What do you know about true insanity?..

in honor of ace week id like to shoutout every asexual who first thought they were bi/pan because they looked at all the genders and felt no difference and zero is equal to zero so they said "huh. must be bisexual" and then shoved their sexuality back under the rug for 3-5 years
