considering getting back into beta-reading for fic writers again, despite the fact i havent done so in like almost a decade now yeesh. Not really sure how to go about offering that service to people on here but ive a LOT of free time on my hands at the moment and itd be nice to have something to do, if anyone out there is looking for help?

I mainly read fics from ATLA, 911, Supernatural, Venom, Spiderman (esp Spideypool), Peacemaker or those kind of lines, I used to read a lot of One Direction and New Girl stuff too when I was younger. Most of the stuff i read is mlm to be honest but i read wlm and wlw too. Im in my mid 20s so beta reading nsfw works is g with me and English is my first language if thats something you need help with! Im v queer (Aromantic and Bisexual and Non-Binary and Polyamorous) so if you want perspective on any of those viewpoints for a character I gotcha:)

So idk I guess if you write for any of these fandoms and have questions you want advice on or if youre looking for a beta reader my DMs and asks (including anons) are on!

or honestly?? if youve written a fic for these fandoms or just read a life-changing one recently that you need someone to freak out about it with you can also hmu for that too

just the thought of being loved. being loved passionately, intensely, thoughtfully. being loved the right way. being loved just the way i want.

I feel like I've never seen anyone talk about one of the reasons that being aro is so lonely is that we aren't really allowed to form deeper connections with people.

I'm not allowed to be too close to my friends because if I am then they'll read it as romantic. Their partners will think they're cheating on them with me.

I'm not allowed to touch other people in a way that's too friendly. I'm not allowed to cuddle with people. I'm not allowed to bare my heart and soul to people. I'm not allowed to hang out one-on-one with anyone. All of those things are reserved for people who aren't me. People who can't be me.

Yeah "more than friends" is stupid and friends can be just as important and close as romantic partners but what non-aro actually believes that? What non-aro would let go of their ownership of their partner for long enough to allow me to have any form of affection?

in the most aromantic way possible I want a relationship

[aromanticdayout]

first try at making comics since this feeling won't die down

[aromanticdayout]

hey btw the way to get into a close intimate non-romantic relationship as an arospec person without feeling guilty that the other person will feel disappointed about the lack of romance, is to pick a polyam person. if my lover wants romance they'll go find it somewhere else I'm chillin

the autism thing of having to learn to preface every question you ask with Holy Shit I'm Just Curious Please Dont Yell At Me because it turns out a lot of questions seem to Mean Something and people will get mad if you ask them
