#I'm just a stupid asexual

[radiosummons]

I'm not denying that Adam Driver is a fantastic actor. Nor am I gonna attempt to argue whether he was the perfect choice for Kylo Ren (’cause he was). The only thing that has me stumped--and keep in mind, this is just my asexual ass speaking--is why people find Kylo Ren attractive?

Because for me personally all I see when I think of or see a photo (or even fan art) of Mr. Ben Solo is that he's just a very angry wet rat.

I don't think it's his hair because I've watched multiple films that Adam Driver has been in, and that particular comparison never crossed my mind. And I could definitely understand why people would find Adam Driver, himself, appealing. But for some reason my brain just can't understand Kylo Ren in particular. A part of me wonders if it's the "energy" he carries while acting as Kylo Ren????

Like there's just something very upsetti spaghetti and hissing rodent about Kylo that I can't avoid seeing. Am I making any sense?

"alastor isn't canonically aroace" errrrm actually he told me he was himself sorry

also yes I edited this myself so some details below if anyone's curious (did this to challenge myself a bit but it didn't take too much effort)

edited in premiere pro, this is how the frankensteined audio and visual look together, even reordered, slowed down and stitched the different mouth movements together to fit the words

specific dialogue taken are:

Alastor: I'm afraid you've lost your signal.

Alastor: Of course! Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?!

Alastor: When I'm done, your status quo will know its race is run!

all from episode 2, basically what was compiled was "I'm air al ace" but air al sounded enough like aro to me so I just rolled with it LMAOOO

For someone who doesn't like coming out to people you'd think I'd be a whole lot better at pretending to be straight.

okay okay okay I know we have the explicit ace and aro rep in Sif and Mira BUT have you considered

Sex neutral ace Isa (that's a very neutral reaction to "drawings of people doing fun things" you've got there. Very neutral. Surprising for someone who's very easily flustered)

and aromantic M'dame Odile! Bonding earring conversation where she says it's not really her thing, anyone? Sounds to me like everyone in this cast is aro and or ace.

the world of make believe musical number is so horny but i don't think chris likes sex so in my mind it's a result of either A) robert's interference (i mean look at his solo dance there) or B) chris overcompensating for the fact that he doesn't like sex (because he's a Man and men aren't allowed to not like sex, not with his conservative upbringing #heteronormativitystrikesagain)

Omg imagine a bdsm au or an a/b/o au where everyone has to have a registered alpha/dominant/whatever once they turn sixteen. And Reggie's family sucks so Luke or Alex volunteer to be it for him. Cue the moments at school of them signing his permission slips, calming down a panic attack, and defending him to the principal 😍

Okay but like I have so many feels about this. Like, the boys know Reggie is super scared about this, because if you don't HAVE someone to register to, you get ASSIGNED and even though there are probably like 50 million books and teen movies about meet cutes that way in reality it is a HORROR SHOW. Like in some states at least you get paired with someone your age but you know there's creepy ones out there being like 'of course pairing this sixteen year old to a thirty year old will work out totally fine'.

So of course they reassure him that they got him, don't even worry about it. But Reggie doesn't really want to see them either rock-paper-scissorsing over who has to be his Register, or seeing them half-heartedly thumb wrestling over who 'gets' to be it but both not really wanting to win.

But on the day of, Luke challenges Alex to a goddamn sword fight for Reggie's hand, and Alex is just like, doing Alpha Posturing like: you think you can take me?

And they're causing a ruckus, duelling with Alex' drum sticks, and Reggie is nearly falling over laughing because his friends are idiots who would make a fool of themselves in public to cheer him up. But also they're both really trying to win which makes him feel a lot better.

And Bobby just sidles up like: you seriously want to be registered to either of those idiots? I can sign, too.

And Reggie nearly falls over like: wtf Bobby, we all thought you were a Beta. But shrugs and is like: yeah actually that makes sense, let's go sign up.

The shouts of betrayal when Bobby waves the little paper at the other two is eventually what gets them all detention.

So he ends up signed under Bobby until a few years later when he happily starts dating Luke and Alex. And they're able to start a relationship without the pressure of being someone's Register, and Bobby happily signs over the paperwork when Reggie feels like he's ready AND THEY ALL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

If I had to create a gem species like in Steven Universe and Houseki No Kuni (I know, I know. But as a MADD, a mineralogy nerd and a huge fan of both series, I want for once to pacify this little whimp of mine), I'd probably make them live in a cave/underground enviroment. Their cities would be build underground an their houses/room, inside cave corners.

A town of Minerals (the species' actual name) is called a Colony and it's not lead by the ones whos "gem-core" (the irl gem who matches their biology/appearences) has the strongest hardness on Moth's scale. They are chosen on reliability and empathy/simpathy and other factors.

A baby mineral is called a geode and a group of minerals is called a cluster

While I still like this species to look a bit more humanoid, they wouldn't look just like colorful people! I want to give them some features that distances them a bit from our fav gems: what about something like horns (perhaps made out of crystals??) And crystal grows over their bodies? Maybe a tail??

These mineral-people aren't actually made out of pure gemstone. They are called "rock elementals" for their biological structure: their blood, flesh and other bodly parts share the same chemical composition of IRL gems (a citrine quartz have both silicius and steel in their body).

This determines a few factors: the blood/flesh/skin/irises and other features' colors who are very close to match the irl gem, and also some health-related things (Mineral whose "gem-core" is colorless such as phantom quartz or goshenite would be very sensitive to the sun-light, like albino creatures, because there are not impurities that colors their skin. For example, a "Sapphire-person" would get bluer if they get a sunburn).

Also, there can be metal-cores too but they are rare. Metals can be born from two minerals who have a gem-core (and this usually happens because the metallic impurities in their body are commoner than the other rock impurities), or can be born from a metal and gem couple

Also Minerals are not immortals!!

Their life lenght depends on many factors, but they get old and die like any other living being (I'd like to think that the type of gem-core is a factor on the duration of the mineral)

Speaking about gem-core, Minerals are not named after that ofc (it can works as a nickname such as Dora for a Labradorite, but most of the time the name is not linked to the irl gem)

And that's it prettu much...

What do you think about it? Feel free to let your questions in the ask box

And any suggestion is more than welcome!

Certified Asexual (tm) moment yesterday. Was making a meme and needed a picture of naked ass for funny purposes. Looked up 'butts' on image search and was absolutely gobsmacked by the reminder that 'oh yeah, people are into those sexually'. Didn't feel like looking at porn to get a screencap, so I used a very suggestive image of a peach instead.

[orinjjo-mg]

Rambling about some explicit NSFW stuff. I'll make a short disclaimer about it, since I normally don't do this.

So, this post is dealing with me, my asexuality, my views on sex and some more explicit stuff.

So this is a bit weird. I am definitely aroace, no questions there. I'm not sure if I'm maybe demisexual, but at least right now, I'm at most indifferent, if not slightly repulsed.

And yet, sometimes I see posts about writing prompts or some queer space post about someone getting their literal brains fucked out of them and I'm just like:

Damn. I'd like someone to fuck my brains out. But not in a sexual way. I'd like to be ravaged and reduced to an inarticulate mess. But without someone being sexually intimate with me.

I don't want to have sex, but I want to be a stuttering, mumbling mess out of appreciation.

And yet, the idea of sex makes me physically react. I get in a bad mood, my brain is initiating disgust and I can't stand someone touching me then.

I crave the intimacy of sex without the sex.

And sometimes it drives me crazy. Those are the days I can't really deal with my asexuality. The days I see it as something wrong in my life, something missing. Where I want to be sexual with someone, even though I know it's going to make me hate myself and will be detrimental to my mental health.

And I know I'm not missing anything. 99.9% I'm fine, happy even.

But then I read about someone being loved senseless and just feel like I'm missing out.

Yeah, that's mostly it. But I needed to get it out and what better way than screaming it to (mostly only) strangers on this platform.

Love that they take Bella with the gym with them all the time

Having a "questioning my asexuality moment for no reason" while drinking tea out of my new ace cup is definitely ironic.

Reblog if your blog is a safe place for aromantics, too.

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.
