☠️🔮⚙️ - The Dorks

[mossy-aro]

ultimately i think my insistence on aro positivity honestly is as much a political stance as a personal one.

when i say aro positivity is crucial and that i dislike doomer-ist posts that express sentiments like 'I hate being aro so much I wish I was dead instead’ it's not because I don’t think there can and should be a space for negativity and acknowledging self-hate, or the many ways being aromantic can really suck sometimes. i find that to be very important!

that being said. there is smth here about how self-hate posts are sometimes just arophobia that we inflict on ourselves. and when we put that out into the ether it (intentionally or not) can become arophobia that we inflict on other members of the community. i think there absolutely needs to be a place for negativity and the expression of anger and frustration and self loathing even - these are all good things to talk about because these are things that we experience. that being said, it can also be genuinely upsetting and triggering to people to have what is essentially arophobia shown to them and then have that be validated by other aspec people. your personal thoughts can affect your wider community on a level you may not anticipate. and i understand it i truly do! it took me so long to be able to recover from accepting being aroace - it threw my entire world off kilter and made me question everything about my place in the world.

but my insistence on aro joy and positivity is because ultimately i do believe that building is at the core essence of it all. that ultimately discussions and the purpose of community should be about construction, not destruction. and this is both a personal and a political stance. talking about how much you hate yourself and cultivating online discussions/spaces where negativity about aspec identity is the main and only theme is destructive - if that’s where we let the conversation end. these thoughts can and should be used as a vehicle to look for a path forward!

joy and positivity create a space where the focus can become on forging a path forward, on construction, on community building instead of tearing ourselves and others down with negative thoughts. it’s not productive or healthy when it stops at a place of negativity - it becomes actively destructive to the essence of community.

and i do think that this is especially poignant considering the fact that being any kind of queer, but especially aromantic (and/or asexual) means forging a path for yourself and making your own happiness where there is no obvious way forward. our communities exist mostly online (right now, anyway), there is little recognition of our existence in the real world, the effects of amatonormativity are both pervasive and actively dehumanising, and there are legal, economic and social structures in place actively making our lives more difficult. yes that all sucks! it’s good to acknowledge that. we need to in order to change it. but more importantly, that’s not the end. we are still here and our happiness, our future is for us to determine. even if we can’t change the laws or society, loving yourself and understanding aromanticism as a political identity (as well as personal), as a radical worldview, and as a protest against amatonormativity is essential for both community and personal well being. the personal is political.

tldr. i guess my point is that as a community, we should focus on building, improving, and nurturing ourselves and each other (construction) as opposed to destruction. we should recognise aromanticism and asexuality as political identities as well as personal ones and rely on community and self-love in the absence of anything else as a form of protest and political power. destruction (the recognition of everything that is wrong) is essential as a starting point - but where do we go from there? we rebuild.

thinking about mafia shen family au. the system is fucking around with shen qingqius life again and is like yk what if ur not gonna tell your husband anything about yourself then ill force you to. have fun! :D

sqq doesn’t even have the time to think 'wtfff??' before Everything Happens. shen yuan’s soul gets shoved back into his original body just moments before he dies. in this version of the au he was choking on food, so he gets the lovely experience of having his airflow blocked again! lucky for him, the system dragged binghe along for the ride so he is saved before he dies again.

this route for mafia au means that the shen family never had to grieve shen yuan. im not sure how the Family reacts to their a-yuan suddenly having a very strong and intimidating significant other (boyfriend? husband?!??? wdym he got married without telling us!?!?) all of a sudden. does shen yuan come out to his family?? no, but also yes, but also not really. they knew he wasn't straight this entire time, so its more like they are coming out to him instead of the other way around. god knows they have bigger skeletons in their closets, they don't care if a twink is in there too.

there is less angst here, and it mostly centers around the comedic factor of shen yuan showing binghe around his house only for them to "stumble upon" an entire closet filled with guns..!?! shen yuan is just standing there in complete horror as binghe grabs a whole ass ar-15!?!?? hes looking at him with the most innocent eyes asking him what this strange metal object is. jesus fucking christ. his white lotus is holding a gun and now he has to explain gun control policies while his brain is leaking out of his ears. he opens his mouth right before an alarm starts blaring everywhere. he’s saved by the bell! except not really, because now six members of his Family are surrounding them and pointing several guns at binghe!!!!! what the actual fuck is going on here!!!!!! this is not how the 'meet the parents' arc is supposed to go!!

Something simple so art block doesn’t kill me

[selfship-confession-box]

I wish my ships got hyped up like my friends all do. It seems like whenever I post/gush nobody cares and it really shows. Im not one to care about numbers often but when it comes to selfshipping, somethings just..different.

Shameless F/O's who growl in your ear while grabbing you possessively, whether out of jealousy or simply because they want to garner a reaction

Alright, I know I don't normally post art here, but I really wanted to show this off, here's some fanart of D-16 as a human! I saw a lot of people draw what they think he would look like as a human, and I wanted to give it a go, and draw my interpretation!

Most people agree he would have dark skin (I mean, it makes sense honestly, but I also agree since his VA is also dark skinned). Now, for my version, his bandana and hair is meant to represent his "helmet". For his outfit, I feel like he would be the type to wear a tank top, to show off his strength. As for the Megatronus sticker that Orion gives him, it's a tattoo! (Although it would be a lot funnier if the tattoo was actually a temporary one).

Anyway, I hope you guys like my interpretation, I mean, I drew this for fun but I definitely plan on making more designs like this in the future!

☠️🔮⚙️ - Do you lik my boyfriend pls say yes

[sxldierselfship]

Hey, I'm sxldier! I'm 25, white, fem. This is my selfship blog lovingly dedicated to my sweetheart, Tavish/The Demoman of Team Fortress 2. We've been together since February 7th, 2024. This blog is a companion account that is not tied to my main account, this way I can keep track of tags and what not. I am Tumblr and minor friendly! If you are under 18, please do not cause any drama/bring any problems here. If you are under 16, please don't follow or interact. I have a DNI, a BYF, and tags that you should check out first! Not following these boundaries will result in blocking. This place will be neat, friendly and clean. It's going to be a place for me to write, gush, post photos and other such things about or related to my dearest. I consider this a serious relationship so if you're someone also selfshipping with him, please just be mindful of that! Tav and I hope you enjoy your stay here!

i hate my stupid fucking idiot brain for being so scum villain-obsessed. I have actual time-sensitive work that will have a relatively significant impact on my future if I do not get it done on time. and all that my tiny, smooth little brain can think about is the scum villain's self-saving system. i cannot form any coherent sentences about anything that is not related to it. this has nothing to do with the fact that it is nearly five in the morning.
