Filipina Miku!! My Mom Helped Me With Her Outfit ^_^

Shrub Berry is an expert on finding home.

For a time, she didn’t think this could be true. After all, you can only spend so many hours languishing over maps and asking wild animals if they’ve seen any ‘twisted mushroom people’ before you start to lose the plot.

She’d never considered herself an expert on anything before she washed up along the Undergrove. Back then it wasn’t a concern.

Of course, things change. Stepping through that portal in hopes of finding Home, she’d resigned herself to having no lead, no prayers— only hope. Just like she’d done all those years ago, fleeing from carnage.

Time is different in the nether. She doesn’t know how long it took for her to find her people once more, only that she felt older when she did. But maybe that was less of her age and more of a symptom of leaving.

It didn’t matter. She was home. It was time to rest and love and be with the people her heart had ached to find all this time. And yet, it still ached.

She wasn’t without love or health. There wasn’t a single ailment that besmirched her. For now until forever gave away, Shrub would be with her family, her people, her home.

So why did she still hurt?

It’s a predicament that she wrestles with near daily. That is, until she finds a lone traveller circling the outside of her portal long after nature has reclaimed it.

“Excuse me!” The traveller asks, twisting strands of pink hair between her fingertips, “I- I think I might be lost. I don’t know where I am.”

Shrub knows her. Despite the air of unfamiliarity, Shrub could never forget the face of a friend. Even if time and magic had snatched the most noticeable traits away.

“Of course,” She replies, “Where are you from?” It’s a damning question. Shrub remembers being asked it the first day she arrived on this continent. She remembers Lizzie asking it herself. The irony isn’t lost on her.

Lizzie-Not-Lizzie shakes her head, “I don’t know. I have this,” She holds out her palm to show a golden pair of rings glimmering in it’s center. When Shrub looks back up, the manic desperation in Lizzie-Not-Lizzie seems to have grown, “I think I lost something important. Forgot it.”

Shrub closes her hand around the rings, deep in thought. “It’ll be okay!” She smiles, banishing the guilt burning in her gut. It had no place here. “You might not know where you are right now, but I do. And this place is blessed!”

She gestures with a hand around her, “A really really long time ago, a gnome was lost and scared in these lands. Just like you. She got… frustrated a lot at the people around her. Because nature, the gods— No one could bring her home.”

“Did she find it?” Lizzie asks, blinking wide curious eyes.

Shrub grins, “It became one.”

Her grip readjusts, heart warm and full, to hold Lizzie’s hand securely in hers. She didn’t know how many of her friends had disappeared into the fog of unknown. Lost their memories—their lives.

But it would be okay. Because if time has proven anything, it’s that Shrub Berry is an expert at finding Home.

Goodluck Pikachu

Can I vent a little?

I’m aroallo and a minor. I am also above the age of consent for my country. I feel so weird about expressing my aroallo pride online because so much discussion involving sex and sexual experiences is 18+ only.

I have so many mixed feelings regarding discussing my sexual attraction here. My sexual attraction is so important to me! I also feel like I’ve finally found a place for myself in the aroallo community! 

But I feel like I’ve internalised the rule of ‘minors should never ever talk about sex’ despite the fact that I can legally have sex in my country (and have done). I feel awkward mentioning that I experience sexual attraction at all.

I don’t even want to talk about sex that I have had/want to have, I just want to be comfortable talking about the fact that I experience sexual attraction and that I’m aroallo.

I don’t know where I was going with this. Thank you for reading :)

Hi anon, thanks for confiding in me! ✨️

Isn't it crazy how allosexuality (esp. in the context of aromanticism) and asexuality are both respectively dubbed as "adult identities"?

If you say you're asexual being a minor, most people would say shit like, "you're too young to know that", "you're probably just a late bloomer", "give it a year or three" and the like.

In the same token, if you say you're alloaro, all of a sudden it's deemed inappropriate. Again, most people, would say that you're simply too young.

I remember back in 9th grade, most people my age were talking about sex and stuff, so then my question to alloallos becomes... are minors allowed to acknowledge their (lack of) sexual attraction to others, or are only the cishet ones allowed to do that?

Being alloaro is not exclusive to adults; it's by no means an adult identity. We're arospec, and we only experience sexual attraction, but that's it. People really need to stop sexualizing queer identities.

Alloaro minors should be allowed to talk about the fact that they experience sexual attraction in a safe manner.

Do I think alloaro minors should interact with alloaros that post 18+ NSFT content/media? Absolutely not.

Do I think they should be able to enter alloaro subspaces that are specifically meant for adults to discuss 18+ topics? Hell no.

Otherwise, they are, and should be 100% welcome. Navigating the alloaro tags? Public <18 alloaro subreddits and such? 100% okay! ☘️

You know how parents educate their children about sex without going into a horrific amount of explicit detail? as an alloaro adult running an alloaro blog that doesn't post 18+ content, I like to put in place the same kind of boundaries. You guys are allowed to vent, ask for advice and talk about your alloaro pride safely and comfortably! ✨️

The alloaro community is not an 18+ space. Being alloaro is not exclusive to those above the age of 18.

I kind of went on a tangent myself, but hopefully I got my message across. You're welcome here, anon <3
