this is my FB cover photo, i have zero mention on what the colors are supposed to mean so only anyone already in the know will understand. baby steps
Low key wanna shake things up and make it general knowledge via Facebook that I’m asexual but low key not ready to find out how many of my friends don’t think I exist so
well put
It’s often really hard to imagine or empathize with experiences outside of your own, which is why most often the people who head up movements or charities for particular issues have had some personal experience with it, and why it’s really hard for privileged people to understand systematic oppression etc.
I feel like that’s also why so many ace/aro spectrum people don’t realise that they’re ace/aro for a long time, because they honestly don’t know they’re any different to everyone else. Usually, I’ve found, this manifests in one of two ways - we assume that everyone else is like us (ie nobody actually experiences sexual attraction, nobody actually falls in love like they do in movies and it’s all some collective delusion or joke), or we assume that we’re like everyone else (ie thinking what we’re feeling must be sexual/romantic attraction because that’s how we’ve been taught to quantify our feelings and experiences).
With asexuality, I spent most of my life mistaking aesthetic (and the occasional sensual) attraction for sexual, which is why I didn’t realise I was asexual until I was 19. With aromanticism, for me, it was a combination of both; assuming all feelings I had towards any boy ever must be romantic, but finding some forms of ‘love’ completely implausible and genuinely totally unfathomable.
And that’s totally fine. Having a new word in your vocabulary may completely change the way you view yourself and may even shift your entire worldview because you have a new way to quantify your and other people’s experiences.
just because your idea of a good time is curling up with a book and hers is doing tequila shots does not make you a better person than her
Stop.

Hey, do you read any good Supernatural fics..? :3 I read a few that I love but I would always love to read more if you know of any... Also I could recommend some if you want haha
I read a lot of fics. What is your general preference? I normally use AO3 but I still use FanFiction.net sometimes.

My dog died and fuck anyone that says I'm incapable of love because I've been miserable for two weeks.
