as much as a i understand and respect ace kiryu truthers, i really feel like kiryu is the type to really take the idea to heart that sex is something vulnerable and meaningful and thus reserved for someone completely trusted and special to him– someone who feels right. after years and years he’s still never legitimately voluntarily slept with someone, always tries to turn women away or is at least apathetic when they try to get physical with him, never feels that deep and specific bond with a woman– nothing compared to some of his bonds with other men throughout his life. and maybe, hopefully, one day it’ll hit him that there’s a pretty big, glaring reason why no women have ever felt “right” to him.

I've been wearing glasses since I was 7. That's for 24 years! And given that I am really, really short-sighted (9 diopters in one eye, 7 in the other, I think), it does impact my life quite a lot. Like, I basically cannot do anything without glasses. Well, I do exercise without them because they would just slide off my sweaty nose, but I can only do that when I know the routine by heart since I can't see what's going on on the screen. If someone is standing right in front of me their face is just a smushed blob without my glasses.

In general, wearing glasses consists of countless annoying moments spread out all over the day: they can fog up, they get dirty or wet, they sit on my nose weirdly, they get stuck in my shirt when I undress or I have to take them off, etc etc.

I wish I'd get over my squeamishness about getting in touching-distance of my eyes so I could wear contacts. (I can't even watch movie scenes were characters put contacts in - or put on eyeliner! Just thinking about this makes me cringe.) Putting in eyedrops is one of the worst things to me, I hate it sooo much. And the eye doctor is the one doctor I am genuinely afraid of going to because I cannot put into words how much my whole body despises when people put their hands/instruments near my eyes.

ANYWAY.

The reason why I opened this textbox is that I, not for the first time I realised that when I write I just completely forget glasses-wearers exists. None of my characters wear glasses. And if I try to include some glasses-wearer representation I have to actively remind myself again and again and again that a character is supposed to wear glasses, because I will forget it.

I don't know whether there was a big point to my post. Maybe that I should probably remember that people where glasses when I create situations, because this could be useful for causing problems.

Also [insert some deep thoughts here about constant and long-running discomfort becomes so normal that it's not even something you're aware of anymore].

Additions:

I know there's worse things in life than wearing glasses ...

I don't hate wearing glasses! Glasses look goot and I have had some pretty attractive glasses in all those years of wearing them. And well, I like that they help me see. But if I could snap my fingers and be able to see without them, I would. I do want Lasik one day, but like anything to do with eyes it freaks me out so muchhhhhhhhh.

freshest hot take from yours truly: female idols having those idiotically long fake nails is not a fashion but rather done on purpose by companies so that they can't masturbate/fuck each other. as a form of sexual control. in this essay i w(this is a joke)

Being in a long distance relationship long term is so fucked up. For context for people in bigger countries I'm not talking flying distance from each other, I'm talking about 3 hrs apart on the train, so not that far arguably. But still far enough that our lives are almost completely separate in the practical sense, no matter how much we talk on the phone or meet halfway. When one of us stays over at the other's place we are still guests in each other's homes. I still don't know what cohabiting would be like and what a comfortable normalicy of being in each other's lives in person every day would be like. We're coming up to our 11th anniversary. I don't want to break up with him!!!! I love him deeply and I've never met someone I'm as compatible with as him. I've never been in love like this and I'm not easy to know, and yet he does know me and likes what he sees. I just feel I am stuck and I am frustrated that my sex life is like once every 3 months. I still don't even know how often we would have sex if we lived together, we haven't had the chance to find that rhythm. When we see each other there's no time to do any more involved stuff it's just getting off. Basically everytthing we've talked about has to stay in the realm of fantasy because there's never any fucking time.

I am trying I said to him- you need to do covering letters and things, you can't just send your CV that has never worked. He's the one who wants out of his current job, and out of his town, but applying for jobs is so fucking hard when you're working full time and trying to do things you love to not get fucking depressed. See I understand those things because I would feel the same way. If he moved here we could find a place together and I could find it out if I actually can live with someone else and stay mentally well. I'm getting too dependent on living alone in order to stay mentally well and it worries me.

Sorry to vent. I'm not looking for advice it's just venting.

Idk man if you're constantly talking about your crushing loneliness and feelings of being ostracised and left out when you ostensibly have a bunch of friends around you then maybe the feelings of loneliness aren't the problem there

thinkin bout 2019 sawashiro's outfit makes me laugh in a hypothetical sense cause alongside the leather gloves he has an alligator-print suit jacket and then under that's a snake-print vest and then under that's a leather dress shirt and so wouldnt it be right goofy if under that's a regular t-shirt and just to really hit the homerun on layers he can have a tanktop under that. for the giggles.

Question answered! Thanks OP you fucking idiot!

I am actually a bit sad that the answer turned out to be "mainstream media good" and "fanwork bad" though. :(

Was hoping for a more interesting definition of problematic beyond "things I like are fine, and things I don't like are not fine!" I guess I was being too optimistic about OP having sense.

i recommend being a fan of 1 problematic piece of media at least once in your life
