one of the guys in the kitchen at work got called irritating and replied “I am not irritating. You just find me irritating. There are many people who love me.” I think we should all adopt his attitude

“Why do asexuals write and draw the best porn?” They wonder.

“Artemis’s hands do not shake when she fires her bow; she will never hunt for food to fill her belly, for she does not hunger herself,” we tell them.

can’t believe I have to say this but it’s completely okay to question your own sexuality as an adult. you don’t have to have every single thing in your life figured out before you turn 18 babe. those socially deadlines are not real. there’s actually no such thing as deadline for learning new things about yourself as long as you’re alive

Husband: “why do you want Hiccup Haddock to be a weird creature ™? Do you think he’s…boring?”

Me: “no! Not at all! I think he’s already a weird little creature…but what if he had fins? Or lurked in the woods as a wendigo?”

Husband: “he’s just a weird little guy.”

Me: “yeah, just a funky little dude.”

New httyd2 headcanon inspired by the child insisted upon fifteenth watch this month:

You know how Ostrich farmers sometimes struggle to get Ostriches to breed because it appears that Ostriches are very attracted to people? Well, Eret is Stormfly's little human husband, she's in love with him, and Astrid has 0 intentions of calling her dragon off because well, it's funny that Eret cannot walk through the village without having Nadder mating dances performed at him.

Eret does not like that he is routinely scooped up and brought to Stormfly's roost where she sits on him and will not let him leave, but he doesn't mind that she keeps leaving entire deer carcasses by his front door like an overgrown, enamored house cat.

In case you were wondering how it's going, JK Rowling has reached the "acephobic" stop of the radicalization pipeline

to the great surprise of absolutely no one

(and she's so much worse in the comments, fucking hell)

I'm grateful to everyone quote-tweeting her and pointing out all the ways asexuals are, indeed, marginalized and oppressed. As Thomas pointed out, they're lesser-known issues. But as an ace person, I'm more concerned with the way she completely invalidates our identity

This isn't a case of "you aren't oppressed because everyone already accepts your identity" (which we see a lot online), or the usual exclusionism. She's saying we don't have an identity to oppress. This is why she doesn't see posting hate against asexual people on international asexuality day as oppression (or, you know. wrong). The thousands of bigoted comments under her post aren't proof that people do, actually, discriminate against aces: she agrees with them, and is there riling them up.

As someone also pointed out, mocking people for not wanting sex isn't very I'm-only-protecting-women of her

I've been reporting terfs and the like on Pinterest (where they, sometimes, actually do something about it) and ace/arophobia is never far. It just got more obvious

"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.

shipping characters who are just friends in canon is more than okay but what’s annoying is when people take screenshots of them touching and say “friends don’t do that!”. i hate to break it to you but friends do hug and hold hands and cuddle. saying ‘friends don’t do that’ is reenforcing the idea that physical touch is reserved for lovers
