Since Pride Month is almost upon us, I just want to make sure that ANYONE who identifies as aspec knows that this is your month, too!

Whether you identify as ace, aro, demi, grey, or any micro label, or combination that's well known or hardly know at all. You are valid, and YOU ARE part of the LGBTQA+ community. Never forget that!!

Howdy, friends, here's a little intro post because I thought I should stop being a sad, mysterious loner lol.

My name's Avery, I'm 24, demisexual, and my pronouns are she/her.

I love video games of all sorts, writing, and being surrounded by cats. I'm currently obsessed with Red Dead Redemption (and specifically with my sad son, Jack Marston). @reddorkredemption is my red dead sideblog. I also love Telltale's Walking Dead, Stardew Valley, and The Long Dark. <3

Here's my AO3, and if you ever wanna chat, don't be afraid to message me here or add me on discord— my username is averylainey there too. <3

STOP BEING SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT YOUR CREATIONS STOP SECOND GUESSING WHAT YOU REALLY WANNA DO STOP DEBATING IT'S WORTH. LET YOUR ART SERVE YOU INSTEAD OF THE OTHER WAY AROUND

You can’t win as a woman in fiction. Be too positive, you become a Mary Sue, have flaws and those flaws are why almost nobody likes you. Be moderate, you have wet-cabbage personality, be exuberant, you are an unrealistic example. Have strong morals, and you’re badly developed, be morally corrupt and you’re hated with such vigour fans will send hate mail to the actress who plays the character. Be kind and soft and in love, you’re a representation of sexism, be cruel, harsh and cold and you’re just a bitch. Be a complex, realistic, ambiguous character, and either your flaws or your positive traits will be ignored or blown out of proportion and into oblivion. There is no winning for female characters.
