hey

I’ve been under a lot of stress lately, and I feel like I’ve gotten entangled in a bunch of things to the point where I feel overburdened and burnt out by... well, everything. Writing, roleplay, a lot of the things that used to bring me joy just... don’t anymore. They feel more like obligations.

This is probably quarantine depression + lingering school stress. I am aware of that. But to be very honest, tumblr, twitter, and discord haven’t helped one bit.

Essentially, this is me announcing a leave. I’ll probably delete my tumblr - if I do, I may or may not remake. If I do remake, it won’t be for a few days.

I really do appreciate any friends I have on here. But I guess in a way my tumblr experience has gotten... overwhelming. And twitter is an even bigger hellsite so I’m deleting that almost certainly. I won’t be deleting my discord, but I’ll be leaving a bunch of my servers, especially the bigger ones.

If I have any obligations with you - a collab or a roleplay or dnd - consider this as me withdrawing. It really and truly is not personal, but I cannot pour from an empty cup.

Demisexual “So you mean a normal person?” Don’t hate on things you don’t understand.

Person: What’s demisexuality?

Demisexual: It means you don’t get attracted to people unless there’s an emotional bond.

Person: Oh, so like, a normal person?

Demisexual: Actually, no, although I can see how you’d think that. Most people don’t have sex with people unless they have an emotional bond with them but that’s not really to do with sexuality, that’s just staying safe and having common sense.

’Normal’ people, although not intending to sleep with someone right away, still know, usually, whether they would be interested in doing that within a short amount of time, sometimes immediately. People come up to me and say “You’re attractive, can I have your number?” after just seeing me from across a bar. They’ve never spoken to me, don’t know who I am but still found me attractive and are thus interested in getting to know me more to see if they’d like to start a relationship.

Demisexuals don’t experience that. We don’t see underwear adverts and find the actors desirable. We don’t look at someone from across a room and think “they’re hot, I wonder if they’re single”. ‘Sex sells’ goes over our heads. Dating apps where you swipe pictures across the screen are useless. We literally don’t get attracted to people that quickly.

Person: Oh, I see. So it’s not just being picky or abstaining from sex, it’s literal lack of attraction?

Demisexual: Yes, you’ve got it.

Person: That must make dating difficult.

Demisexual: It does. Many of us are interested in dating but are limited to people we know emotionally. If someone asks for my number I then have to say to them ‘can we be friends for roughly two to three years, by then I should know whether I find you physically attractive and if I do we can start dating’. It’s sad because I don’t want to get people’s hopes up or seem like I’m leading them on. But I literally do have to know them for a while before I can get attracted to them if I do at all. It also meant growing up was a strange experience because everyone would be pointing out attractive people on TV, in magazines and when walking down the street and I just didn’t understand.

Person: Well thank you for taking the time to explain that to me. I understand now that there is a difference between abstaining from sex and actually lacking attraction.

Demisexual: No problem. It’s nice to be accepted and understood.

Demisexuals, you are real and valid. Just because people don’t understand what you go through that doesn’t mean what you go through is fake. Pride is about respecting and celebrating all sexualities and their nuances. 

You should also note that demisexuality is common among those on the autism spectrum. To deny demisexuality is not only illogical but it’s also ableism. You’re erasing people’s symptoms because its convenient for you and because you don’t understand them. 

Demisexuals just want to chill and exist. They don’t want fame and to be mollycoddled. They just want awareness and acceptance. 

Let’s not hate on people just because we don’t understand.

every time a neurotypical praises and idolizes “gifted children” while infantilizing or acting condescending to neurodivergent children who aren’t considered “gifted” they owe every special ed kid in their lives $150

This is the truest tweet I ever read. I never seen a mainstream haircair/beauty brand try to cater to black folks without doing exactly this. Always with the shea butter and gold packaging. It’s like the only way black women will know the product is “for them”.

Please don’t sleep on Onyx Equinox

Cruncyroll just released their new anime original called Onyx Equinox and so far its doing a great job in portraying mesoamerica culture

As a descendent of this part of my culture and history, I thought they did a really cool job in representing Mesoamerican culture in the first episode, and I can’t wait to see more.

So please watch this show if you haven’t and support it if you can

y’all have gotta stop using words like “abusive” to refer to fictional characters who are just evil. like yeah yeah whatever it’s a tv show who cares but like a pattern of abusive behaviour in an intimate relationship with a noted power dynamic (in real life or in fiction) isn’t the same thing as like, a supervillain in a cartoon trying to blow up a planet, and trying to equate everything to serious irl issues for woke points isn’t a good thing to do and kind of makes it seem like you’re trivializing it. especially when people use it in callout posts, like “this person supports ABUSIVE CHARACTERS!!” when they actually just mean like, they own a funko pop of darth vader

no more gender wars! we rally together & dismantle the patriarchy at dawn

I genuinely don’t know who forgot to tell this generation of fandom that other LGBTQ+ people writing about different experiences through the lens of a single character literally cannot take anything away from them or “erase” their experiences but

for the record, any ideology that encourages you to:

- treat other members of your community with suspicion and mistrust

- view them as potential rivals for some scarce commodity (like, for instance, “representation”)

- view them as about to attack and try to take something away from you just by being or expressing themselves

—all because they’re not EXACTLY like you is um. Not great. It’s. Not a good ideology. In fact, it’s actively harmful.

People who want you to see other LGBTQ+ people as “the enemy” do not have your best interest at heart, or the community’s.
