#I DON'T HAVE TO PROVE MYSELF TO YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[confoundedpangolin]

Addition that I feel is important to me: if you're a late bloomer, or have never been in a relationship, or have been in a relationship but broken up after realizing what you feel isn't romantic, it whatever the case might be, you don't have to 'at least give it a try' or 'one more try, maybe this one's the one' because as long as you don't feel a want for romance/sex/neither, you don't have to keep trying. It's like being told "just buy one more lottery card" because you might get lucky and be rewarded greatly, but really, you can be perfectly happy without it. The way I see it, at least for myself, is that yes, there is no way to prove that I don't romantically love or enjoy having sex with anyone in the whole world. But I don't have any desire for it beyond a vague curiosity, and chasing it is more likely to be bad for my mental health and a big waste of time. No one has to 'just give it a try' or feel invalid because 'that was just one bad experience' or do anything that they don't want to.

Unpopular (?) opinion:

When I was young and wondering why I hadn't experienced a crush yet, the internet said I was probably just a late bloomer. They urged me not to identify as aroace because I could change my mind later on.

And looking back, like… so?

If I had been a late bloomer, who cares?

I was 13. I felt comfort in the aroace community. I didn’t feel like a weirdo for once in my life, surrounded by people who were like me. But I was urged to not join these communities until I became an adult in case I changed my mind about being ace. So I didn’t. And I paid for that.

Who cares? If you’re young and feel like you’re aroace, then you’re aroace. If you “change your mind” later, it’s okay. No one is going to be born and know themselves 100%. I genuinely thought I was alloromantic once, but now know I’m not.

Speaking from experience, I would rather have kids be “wrong” about their sexuality than feel like they have no place of belonging.

We shouldn’t gatekeep aroace folk because of their age. It hurts. It makes kids feel like they are the freaks society tells them they are.

I’ve seen a lot of tumblrs talking about “im musician and this is my music inspiration”

But what about “my music knowledge” ?

What do you know about music? And I’m not talking about programs and devices they can be buy and with a few YouTube tutorials you can learn how to use them, but we need more than that, shapes, forms, soul and flavor in the music not more generic content

So my honest question

Who are you and what do you have to offer?

I've been writing songs since I was 9, producing music since I was 13, and I've played piano and sung since even younger.

I've honed my skills through years of practice, and I'm studying music at university.

I write about everything from insomnia to romance to imaginary science fiction universes, in a multitude of genres and styles, incorporating unique harmonic, lyrical, metric and melodic structures.

but also, I don't have to "offer" you anything.

The way you have approached me and demanded I prove myself to you feels sorta condescending...

There is a huge amount of effort, time, skill and vulnerability involved in creating. Whether someone's a beginner or a seasoned professional, whether they're "good" or "bad" at what they do, they're making something.

I'm never going to fault someone for that, and I'm also not gonna throw other musicians under the bus because you think they're somehow inferior.

also, if you hate "soulless", "generic" music, take your issues up with AI and capitalism, since those are the real culprits <3

This blog is a space for me to share things that inspire me and my creative process. It could be stuff from artists whose lyricism or production i admire. It could be an artwork that communicates a feeling i want to encapsulate in a song. It could be something else entirely. It's not somewhere for me to be interrogated.

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.

Every time you think, "Oh, I don't have [x condition], I'm basically cured!" that is the devil talking. You aren't cured, you are likely going through periods of your symptoms waning. Don't cease whatever you're doing to help yourself, like medication, for instance, because it's likely you still have the conditions or symptoms, even if you aren't noticing them as frequently or severely.

My senpai and I are very different people lmao she just suggested we take the 100¥ bus to save us less than 15 minutes walking and I'm like GIRL I am NOT paying ANY amount of money if I can reasonably walk there

[torchickentacos]

i will always shout praises of bi4bi but given recent discourse I feel the need to say that I love bi4het too! I just love bisexuality in general in its many forms, and anyone who only likes it when it's 'queer enough' for them is biphobic. Bisexuals should be able to bring their LaMe CiShEt BoYfRiEnD to pride without being made to feel like spectators and outsiders to their own event.

my friendship with canon ended now fanon is my new best friend

but first a cute bird

basically my mind decided that it's now free to draw whatever AUs and stuff that I want including random stuff like this

and this!

I think my way of coping with 423 is just... ignoring it ever existed so now it's just this and an occasional canon stuff

but good for him he deserves to have all the fun fanon can offer

fun fact: this was the first sketch out of all of them in this post!

Controversial opinion: Vox's design sucks

...

Because he should be wearing a NORMAL TIE. not a BOWTIE. It would:

Add to his businessman persona

Give a place for that wifi symbol to go that isn't awkward

Be a good opposing design to Alastor's bowtie

Potentially give the idea he's moved away (or attempting to) from Alastor. Especially if they had it that Vox USED to wear a bowtie.

Also, we joke about it but seriously, why does everyone have a bowtie when it doesn't make sense for some characters like Husk--

I rest my case your honors.

...

Rebuttle:

Vox having the bowtie could signify him latching onto his past with Alastor and not being able to move on

n*loth not being able to bag anyone over the (human term) age of 25-30 at most is the only logical and real conclusion to me because it can be just explained away as him wanting to prove and control everything and anyone (Cus he's a man!) but being stuck in that demographic because his unbearable and vile personality is a force that nobody can look past once they've outgrown the possible fear and idolization period of anyone but also n*loth in particular.

every so often i will see a post from a leftist on this website that is so egregiously ableist that i remember that like. oh yeah the userbase of leftists on this website is violently anti-disabled people and will jump at any chance to demonize any of us for any reason. i just forget that fact because i'm extremely dedicated to curating my space

i'm paraphrasing here but i saw a post that said, "every time i see an American [disabled person] mention being scared about the election because they're afraid of losing their benefits i have to laugh. anybody who wants blood-soaked money from the US government deserves to starve" which. like. goodness that's a lot to unpack. i think we should burn the whole suitcase instead !

I've decided that writing Wylan is very fun and relatively easy for me, but it's also very soul-revealing becasue he has a deep desire to be perceived as competent and useful by the people he cares about the rest of the Crows and I unfortunately feel very seen about it :/

Hey y'all! I have to preface this two-part question by saying it is not based on something I am currently experiencing, but something that happened years ago 1. Can anaphylaxis cause low blood sugar? 2. How bad is a blood sugar level in the 40s? Again, based on something from years ago, not now (just in case someone skipped the first paragraph) Like, I understand that that's very low blood sugar and is bad but idk how bad? At the time it happened I was at an urgent care and, uh, not tracking what was happening super well (both the things definitely happened at the same time, but I am unsure if they were related things)
