Three aspec-friendly j dramas recs

Koisenu Futari Sex content: none (there's one flashback that references a past experience, but nothing explicit. It's also not in a positive light.) Romance content: none Rep: the two protagonists are explicitly aroace. They're adults: the focus isn't on discovering their identity (Sakuko does that in episode one), but on how they live life defeating the norms and on their developing qpr (which they call "Family (subject to change)").

Konya Sukiyaki Dayo Sex content: none Romance content: some (one of the two protagonists is allo and has romantic interests and a relationship) Rep: one protagonist is explicitly aro. She never comments on her sexuality, but she never seems interested in sex either. The two protagonists live together and develop a qpr (they don't call it that, but it's clear they don't consider their bond a "normal" friendship).

18/40: Futari Nara Yume mo Koi mo Sex content: none (implied in the past since there's a pregnancy) Romance content: present Rep: the two protagonists have a considerable age-gap (18 and 40) and they refer to their bond as something that "has no name but definitely exists". It's pretty much a qpr, but they're both allo and they both develop separate romantic interests. There's also a secondary aspec character (I love her); there are no explicit terms used, she only says she's never been in love (and probably never will). I noticed hints of this character's identity since episode 1 and I think all of them fit the aroace profile, but she doesn't comment on sexual attraction or lack thereof (she is surprised to know her friends have had sex, though, and that screams asexual to me). All in all, platonic relationships of every kind are very important in this drama. Be warned for the pregnancy and motherhood though if that's not your thing. (And for romance.)

No choice, I guess. Then shall I introduce someone nice to you?

My experience carrying a stuffed animal with me at school every day

Wrapping up my first semester where I decided to be brave and carry a plushie with me, and figured I’d share my experience for anyone who wants to bring their plushies but may be nervous. I carried a small to medium cat plush in my hands and placed them on my desk every day.

I can safely say my experience has been nothing but positive!

- No one ridiculed or treated me unkind for it, any questions were posed with respect. I worried people wouldn’t take me seriously, but it’s not a problem I encountered.

- I made friends more easily and people asked me questions about my plush (name,brand,etc) quite often and seemed interested in my answers.

- None of my professors made any rude comments or told me to put them away. One asked if my plush was a recording device and why I had her but didn’t push further when I replied no, she’s just here because she makes me happy.

- Some professors made jokes, one pretended to punch my cat plush because he “doesn’t like cats” and another told me not to bring a black cat because it reminds him of a past cat he had and disliked. Nothing serious it was all in good fun from professors who frequently joked with other students as well.

- It made me very happy and comforted to have a plushie friend with me!! That alone makes it worth it.

I’m a fourth year college student, if you are in high school your experience may vary as you could face teasing from peers as I had before, but remember the world is so much kinder <3

some golden guards + caleb

i wanted to take a break and do some character design of a few golden guards based off of some of the ones seen briefly in canon. i also drew hunter and caleb as references for faces and stuff. i tried to make them as similar as possible, but also looking very individual to one another. since belos claimed that hunter looks the most like caleb, i tried to stay true to that while keeping the other three looking similar but not quite as identical. anyways i love them <3 they’re like the most mentally ill family ever to me

these weren’t supposed to be real ocs or anything but then i ended up giving them names and backstories and so i wrote a little about them aaaand now im obsessed. i will try to make a full body ref for them, especially alistair and/or constance, if i have time

i apologize for my godawful handwriting 💔

No but why do people in Years Apart act like MC is a decrepit old hag lusting after a barely legal adult when the LI is closing in on thirty and MC’s not even properly old enough to be their mom?

i was trying to find tan youyou himself to see if i could talk to him in the overworld (edit: i found him!! thank you!!) but inside the dye workshop does have spindle's personal log and it does at least confirm what i thought, that tan youyou is not native to stoneville! while most likely not the next map we’ll unlock, i wouldn’t be surprised if we visited the linlang empire sooner rather than later.
