Even if an asexual does find sex to be gross that still doesn't give you the right to infantalize them.

I say nothing to this

My boyfriend: *trying to fix my sleep schedule in an extremely threatening and sweet way*

Me: 😦 How dare you?

Reblog if it's okay to befriend you, ask questions, ask for advice, rant, vent, let something off your chest, or just have a nice chat.

I really want to hug Georgia Warr and every other aro and/or ace person that ever felt self-hatred for their sexuality.

I love you all. You deserve happiness.

raise your hand if alice oseman singlehandedly got you onto tumblr

being aroace is just being a silly little guy

Michael Holden is more than just a happy guy, and Tori Spring is more than just a sad girl.

Best memories: going to pride with my best friends and randomly starting to paint pride flags on people :))

nothing has been more important to my being queer than when i went to my first pride parade, got seperated from my group, had a panic attack about it and was sitting on the side of the road holding a tiny genderfluid flag and freaking out. then this six foot five drag queen in four inch heels appeared from literally nowhere and sat down next to me. i, this scared-shitless trans bi kid at pride for the first time, very nervously told her she looked pretty and i told her my name and that i got lost and didn't feel like i should be at pride and she held my hand and said "oh, honey, everybody deserves to be here, especially you. pride is for everybody who's ever gotten lost, who's been scared of who they are or where they are. you think we never been scared before? pride's for you, honey, because you're scared. you don't have to be proud right now, but you're gonna be one day, honey, i'm sure of it."

i found my group soon after that and i never saw that queen again but to this day i am convinced i met an angel.

so yeah. pride is for you. pride is for all of us.

"There's a time and place for being normal. For most people, normal is their default setting. But for some, like you and me, normal is something we have to bring out like putting on a suit for a posh dinner."

~ Michael Holden, Solitaire

What even is "normal"? Every person has their "normal" and every "normal" is different, so there isn't really a "normal", is it?

[honeybee-thoughts]

there are no happy people.

One of the main themes of Alice’s books is that there are no happy people. In Solitaire, Tori says it and thinks it throughout the book, and Alice continues with that theme throughout all of their books. In solitaire, there are no happy people. Micheal isn’t happy, Charlie isn’t happy, Lucas isn’t happy, Becky isn’t happy, Tori isn’t happy. There are no happy people. Radio silence, there are no happy people. Aled isn't happy, Frances isn't happy, Dan isn't happy, Carys isn't happy. There are no happy people. Loveless, there are no happy people. Pip isn't happy, Rooney isn't happy, Sunil isn't happy, Jason isn’t happy, Georgia isn’t happy. There are no happy people. In I was born for this, there are no happy people. Rowan isn't happy, Juliet isn't happy, Angel isn't happy, Lister isn't happy, Jimmy isn't happy. There are no happy people. Heartstopper, there are no happy people. Nick isn't happy, Tao isn't happy, Elle isn't happy, Tara isn't happy, Darcy isn't happy, Charlie isn’t happy. There are no happy people. In every one of Alice’s novels, she starts with a character who isn't happy and knows it, who isn't happy and doesn’t know what to do about it or how to help it. And then throughout the novels, the character learns more about the people around them and realizes that, there are no happy people. Everyone they thought was happy and had perfect lives, doesn’t. And then towards the end of the novel, the character feels less alone in their sadness because they realize they are not the only one. There are no happy people, and that’s what can make the not-happy people happy again.

Watching my best friend and my girlfriend play a videogame together while I put on music has to be one of the best evenings of my life ♡

How does it feel to be the most awesome person on this planet?

Idk, I should ask you since you are the most awesome person on this planet, how does it feel? :)

[honeybee-thoughts]

When I read Solitaire I was actually scared by how much I related to Tori.

Now I read Radio Silence and I am actually scared by how much I relate to Frances (and a bit of Aled too).

I think this will never end with Alice's characters, they are so real. I love them

The thing i love and that scares the shit out of me at the same time abt the osemanverse is that everyone relates to at least one character to a level where it seems like you're that character and alice wrote a book about you

For me it's frances janvier

I'm curious, who's that one character for you??

[honeybee-thoughts]

Why are all the Osemanverse characters so relatable?

Should I be concerned for myself if I think they are so relatable?

[honeybee-thoughts]

I knew already My life was gon be heavy But nothing could prepare me for this For this I lived for validation I met your expectations Pushed down on my temptation That's not what I want

[...]

Oh my just look at you now Such a promising Young man You both must be proud If I were you I would make sure That he keeps both his feet on the ground Nobody asked Please shut your mouth

Am I seeing things or is this extremely Aled Last coded?

He spent all his life trying to be "the Golden child" and not to disappoint his mother, just for her to treat him like that anyway.

He just wants to be listened to.

He deserves so much better.
