i am a big believer in letting music (and other media) come to you when you're ready for it. you may only know vaguely of an acclaimed beloved artist and suspect that you'd be into them but just... not ever get around to it. and then in 15 years one of their songs just hits you the right way and what a gift to suddenly have all of their works to explore! there is no hurry; what is good is always good.

I can't believe it took me so long to go back to this very important post :D <3.

there is a venn diagram of musical enjoyers and podcast fans and the overlap in the middle is labelled "I love it when people have audible breakdowns directly into my ears"

the Rubik's cube they used for TBI performances wasn't a prop, that's actually what the Black Box looked like

the reason it was corrupted was because lyf didn't solve it correctly

i know we’re both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what i’m saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when it’s raining. what i’m saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what i’m saying is that i’m here for you and if the train comes please move.

as a sometimes sex-favourable, zero sexual attraction asexual, it really does bother me how many people think that being sex-favourable inherently means being grey-asexual, regardless of whether we actually experience attraction.

i've seen this from aces and allox people alike. it's like people are still holding on to this allonormative idea that the only reason to enjoy sex or want to have sex is attraction, and if someone is sex-favourable they must be allox or at least grey-asexual. you all are STILL perpetuating the "asexuality means no interest in sex ever" and every ace who does have some interested in sex must be grey-ace.

like, nah.

the fact that i sometimes want sex doesn't change that i never experience sexual attraction. it doesn't make me less asexual. it doesn't make me more allox.

sexual attraction and sex-favouribility stances aren't the same thing. sex-favourable aces without any sexual attraction exist. sex-averse allosexuals exist. it's annoying to see how many acespecs still don't understand the difference and perpetuate the same shit allosexuals do. action does not equal attraction.

this is not to say that someone can't label themself grey-ace based on sex-favourability, it's just really annoying to see sex-favourability included under grey-asexuality by default when lots of us are strictly asexual.

as a mainly sex-indifferent ace, i also wonder where they'd put us in this fucked up system? we can't be easily put in a "interested in sex" or "not interested in sex" box. are we grey-ace because we're not clearly saying no to sex as a whole? are we strictly ace because we're not clearly saying yes to sex as a whole?

iwish allox and ace people alike wouldn't disregard my lack of sexual attraction and only focus on sex-favourability. you're literally just trying to focus on the thing that makes me most similar to allos. stop

actually that has me thinking. do computers know they're ultimately used to improve upon themselves. do you think when computers see they've stopped being used, reduced to something that only takes up space, that they feel sad. or do they realize that ultimately, humans were made to improve upon angels too, and, like angels, they have been cast out not out of hatred or malice, but because they have simply ran their course. do computers know that they are not left alone out of malice, but so they can be allowed to rest.
