“Can I hold you?”

[toastedtitaniumalloy]

Vent about being ace~~

Being a hopeless romantic who is also on the asexual spectrum is exhausting! For some reason, people hear the term "asexual" and assume that you don't want any type of intimacy, but that is not true at all! Yes, some people on the ace spectrum may not desire it, but we are all different and unique individuals. Just talk to us!?

I want to be held, kissed, and do cute things together while also having arguments like an old married couple! I crave intimacy in ways that are difficult to explain; I do not want it to be solely seen as a pathway to sex. I enjoy being affectionate and cuddly, but I have yet to find a partner who can appreciate that without also expecting sex from me or pressuring me to be sexual. While I understand that sex is tthe bee's knees or whatever, it is not something I desire. I do not want to be sexualised!!

Sex is like sprinkles on a sundae; it may be great for those who enjoy it, but it is not essential for a delightful dessert! A sundae consists of many other components that contribute to its overall deliciousness, and sprinkles are simply an added bonus. It is perfectly acceptable to enjoy sprinkles; do not let anyone make you feel ashamed for liking them. However, they are not my preference, and it seems that many individuals believe that they are necessary for a sundae to truly be a sundae.

No matter what societal norms say, sex is not required for a relationship to be "real".

Sex does not define a relationship! ALSO, pressuring someone into engaging in sexual activities is hurtful. Even if you are not explicitly pressuring them, it is unkind to act offended or inconvenienced when someone who has clearly stated their lack of interest in sex establishes their boundaries.

And just because someone identifyies as being "on the asexual spectrum" rather than strictly "asexual" does not indicate an openness to engaging in sexual activities in the future. It simply means that we fall somewhere on the asexual spectrum!!!

Ugh!!!!!!

The 3rd gender was legalized 2 years ago where I live and the government has been trying to avoid the decision of the court and postpone its application ever since. They made a commity to think about what the right thing to do is and it includes 0 trans or non-binary person. We got "sex" change certificates and new birth certificates, but what they refused this whole time was to update any IDs, rendering that "X" completely useless.

Anyways, the news came out and the law that passed 1131 days ago will finally be (fully) applied on October 10 (we get to have IDs that correspond to our legal identities!) People, like me, have been without a valid ID or valid (obligatory)(government) health insurance, this whole time, because they refused to give us IDs.

Huzzah!

I'm still angry.

First of all, that atrocious commity has not been called off, somehow. But let me paint you a picture, if you will listen to my story. I am so angry and wounded and nobody around me seems to give a shit.

The year is 2022, I am rejoiced that the X has been legalized and painstakingly fillout forms, back and forth, by (physical) mail. I have already burnt out and screamed in agony before from the absolute bullshit™ that changing my name was. I am sick and tired of seeing my chosen name next to an "F" and being called "mam'" everywhere I go, regardless of if they've seen my face or heard my voice yet.

After a long wait I get my papers and go to the health center to fill the paperwork to get my new ID. It's recent, their paperworks are not up to date, no surprise there, my standards are below the ground. I get lucky and this extremely nice employee does everything he can to figure this out for me. He writes out X on the form and we attach a copy of my certificate. Now I wait again.

My new card arrives in the mail! I can feel it through the envelop, I am buzzing with glee.

There's an "F" on the card.

I collapse on the floor of my appartment, scream and cry and call off work because I am having a mental breakdown.

Small independent online news cover the story of non-binary folks being deprived of an ID. Months of silence. Major news network finally publish something (nobody talks about it). The gorvernment says they'll put up a commity to make a wise decision about what is best to do with IDs (even if the law has already passed). Months and months and months pass.

The year is 2024, I have made a lot of advocacy and shared my strife about this whole shitshow two years ago. People who are close to me know, because I fucking care about my human rights being respected, being treated like a human being with dignity and the law being respected where it fucking should. I share the news that this great injustice who has caused undue pain to thousands is finally to be rectified.

Nobody.

Nobody fucking says anything or react to my post in any way at all.

And I remember all the way back when I got my name on my ID and I happily boasted it to others as a great news and as I was met with indifference, felt a pang in my chest.

Nobody cares.

It matters so much, it is life changing, I have done everything I could to properly express and explain this. There is so much pain and injustice and where there should finally be joy and celebration I am met with a void.

It's grim, but with the growing transphobia internationally, I fret and wonder : how much of this silence, of this show of indifference, is hatred, disgust, or rejection? Does my life mean so little to you? Do you not see trans rights as human rights? Do you not see trans people as human?

I don't know, I'm just really tired. I fought so hard for this, and it hurt a lot. I got treated like shit and saw my rights denied. I dealt with dysphoria and gritted my teeth, trying to forget about that damn X, 'lest it rot my brain with anger and grief. And finally, though I don't want to believe it till I see it, it truly seems like what I wanted and waited for this whole time is finally within reach...

I'm angry. I'm sad.

I'm hurt

I wish I wasn't.

I shouldn't have to be.

Alternate; Spider-Fiend 2099?

So. Might have gotten a little carried away. Also consider this a Spider-Fiend reveal because I'm like 99% sure I've never posted his design anywhere:

OG on the left, 2099 Variant on the right.

I actually think a 2099 variant would be super interesting - because I think he'd still have an organic suit that Mordred (demon buddy the name is definitely going to change) gave him.

All his villains and some allies too would probably have really high tech suits so when a villain goes to hack his suit he just starts laughing because he's immune to any of that. I think the themes of technology vs nature (if you want to call demon stuff nature) would be a really cool topic to explore :]

Few notes on the 2099 design:

Even though it's an organic suit, it has a neon light glow effect. This is so that he blends in better with the overall environment - as I imagine his city (I forget the name 💀) would have a lot of neon lights. And yes it is Tron inspired.

The webs he would shoot would be that same neon purple.

The logo didn't turn out too well admittedly (there are few things I want to fix but for a first pass I'm happy with this) but it's supposed to be the same as the one on the left just sleeker and has less detail.

The horns and tail don't actually glow.

I feel like he'd be a bit more serious in Universe 805 - 2099 (temporary name) and so his eyes would be less expressive than his original variant (similar to how Miguel is a little less expressive in the movie)

This actually applies to both variants but Fiend tends to go out at night a lot more hence the dark designs. I also in general prefer when spiderman designs are more on the simple side (think venom spiderman) so that's why both only have two colours (black and purple)!

Black and purple are his colours because a) black = blends in more at night and in general is more intimidating and b) purple = not a colour found a lot in nature so it fits his otherworldly demon powers. I also like purple.

I know a spiderman variant with a tail might be a bit weird but it adds to the silhouette and gives him more of a demonic vibe overall imo!

Wait, they're making another one? Oh-kaaayyyy... Not holding my breath, but hopefully it's at least better than the $h!tshow that was the second movie. (Even if that "version" of Silver is still there.) If it's any consolation, I don't know how much Sega is involved with the Sonic movies, but if it's a good bit, then maybe they can help out! At the very least, there's this amazing comment under the reveal teaser. (GOLDEN ISLAND MENTIONED)

y'all. The fact that the last time my mom and I talked (7 months ago) she told me "if republicans ever actually tried to kill trans people I obviously wouldn't support them. If they were actually doing a genocide obviously that would be bad." —when I tell you that I have been saving hundreds of posts and tiktoks and youtube videos about the real life or death harm right wing fear mongering is doing to the trans and LGBTQ+ community. The anti-trans legislation. The drag bans. The every-day harassment. Personal testimonies from my trans friends who've fled the state. But I haven't sent a single one... because I know she was lying. Because I know if she couldn't take my word for it then, when I was crying on the phone, begging her to believe me, to care, nothing is ever going to actually make her change her mind. That's how it is with tr*mpists, you know? If anything anyone on the right could ever say could possibly be bad or insane enough to matter, it's already been said. She didn't hear anything then and she ain't gonna hear anything now.

So like off topic, and kinda background info; but I made an off hand comment to my Christian family like last year or the year before or something— about how tarot decks are really so pretty and I wouldn’t mind having a deck and like learning how to read the cards. Okay they know I’m like kinda a slut for good art so they probably dismissed anything about it aside from that. Like I wasn’t kidding. A lot of tarot decals I’ve seen — especially the ones in Nola are just like so pretty. It’s the kinda comment that if I wasn’t over the age of 18; I absolutely would have been torn a new one for because “that’s occult stuff! How dare you forsake our lord!?” But like with a lot more cussing hilariously.

Anyway, Well last year(2022) my sib got me a YGO themed Tarot deck for Xmas. And this past xmas(2023) another deck from my parents showed up and my sib joked “ah look, apparently it’ll be tradition to get you tarot cards for xmas now.” And I’m just— wait?? I thought the YGO one was one off because it’s for a fandom I’ve been involved with since I was like 10. But they’re like going out of their ways to find tarot decks??

Am I even allowed to like use them? I thought first decks had to be gifted by someone who already uses them? I’m like so close to just opening the decks and vibing and doing a spread to see what they tell me and I just don’t know if that’s even a good thing.

Anyway, yeah, so a fanfic totally had me thinking about those two decks just causally sitting where my cats can’t get em and now I can’t stop thinking about it.

Not identifying as trans but being gender-fluid is definitely a unique experience. I don’t like the umbrella theory or things being called umbrella terms. My brain doesn’t work in a way that can process things when they aren’t categorized as their own thing. I also don’t think that transgender label fits for me. I kinda just consider myself as a person who happens to be biologically female and switches between identifying as female, male and most often both. I’m just myself. I also dislike being called queer because I’m bisexual. I was never called that as a slur but I rather people not refer to me as that, I’m bisexual.

My birth name is Ashlee but instead of ditching the Lee entirely (it was my grandmas middle name and I love my grandma) I made it a second middle name. So when people DO refer to me as Ash Lee I instinctively think “fuck this is serious, they’re using my middle name and everything” which is truly the most positive and funniest way for me to react to being deadnamed.
