#and very aro coded

[phosphorus-noodles]

A very happy valentines day from our favorite little blue guys <3!!!

[beaulesbian]

im just noticing some similarities

[thelunarsystemwrites]

I-I need Lustberry. I need Lust to be trying to validate his emotions for Swap via being sexual, I need swap to be like "there's other ways of affection-" I need Lust to cry bc he doesn't feel pretty and Swap completely reassure him he's magnificent. I need them. I NEED THEM

sometimes i think about how the person etoiles got the gayest with on the server was not actually a person but a piece of floating binary code

project sekai is crazy because literally every character is queer trans neurodivergent physically disabled or some combination of the above

Did a redraw of the Arkham City screenshot where I can't get over how cute his face looks. Speaking of cute, I added birds :) he's such a swan with his angry hissing vibes, but he's also like a magpie for intelligence, and blue tits because they're aggressive little guys that are hard to take seriously. He also has cygnets, I saw some today, the Dad was teaching them how to get food :)

I'm on Cara now! It's a social media platform against AI "art", my @ is tbalderdash.

Don't mistake my dislike of B/llford as being for any moral reason; I don't care what people ship and even have a few friends who enjoy it! I just think their dynamic is so much more interesting without any romantic interpretation attached, and I always get a little sad when I'm looking at something involving that and it veers into 'haha they're divorced/exes/whatever'. Like aww, aro-blocked :(

Hi guys IM WORKING ON CATCHING UP

I did just scream at the top of my lungs so that’s good /gen

[aroacettorney]

ok so, regarding elisa's bewitching eyes, the novel goes a bit deeper and has a better explanation of how they work. the effectiveness of this ability relies heavily on two factors:

the opponent's mana — the larger amount of mana they have, the harder they would be able to resist it

the opponent's mental defense

considering ludgers constitutions, it can be said that its quite obvious why the bewitching eyes didnt work on him.

but on the other hand, i find it kinda funny that the manhwa chose to leave out these details, and non-novel readers have no other choices but make wild speculations with no hints given.

...and since im functionally biased, im choosing to believe that he did indeed resist it with sheer willpower —

✨️ aromanticism ✨️

just kidding.

.........unless?

Wren Martin Ruins It All

YA contemporary romcom

student council president proposes to cut the school valentine’s dance because it's expensive and alienating for queer/single people, but instead the vice president (who he adamantly hates for being perfect) suggests they get sponsored by a popular friendship app

he decides to secretly give the app a go to “know his enemy” but ends up making a friend, and starts to catch feelings for him...and maybe realises the guy he hates isn't actually so bad either...

ace mlm MC, aro-questioning side character

I loved this so much! great MC with a funny internal monologue

despite the title most issues or misunderstanding are sorted out pretty quickly rather than drawn out for the drama and plot. which is refreshing

I was a little nervous about the concept of ‘ace hates the school dance and wants it shut down’ - there's a bit of a stereotype of aspecs being boring Fun Haters - but I think it did a really good job of showing the specifics of why, not dragging it out, and also that he’s just a snarky fun hater in general with not much weight behind it.

There’s also no discovering of sexuality or big coming out (just one-on-one) - he already knows he’s ace, and it comes up naturally a bunch, talking about how dances etc can feel isolating, the way the friendship app called buddy being called ace-friendly can feel infantilizing, avoiding dating because of the stress of having to check upfront if people about it, etc.

I would have liked to know more about his relationship with his mum? Though I understand that it’s clearly something he avoids thinking about - going too deep into his relationship with his parents might have changed the tone a lot. but still.

OC-tober day 10 prompt: colour palette

Pumpkin patch and Tisias with Mordei!Kye from the Dreams of Copper and Snow AU (CopperSMP)

"There was once a legend of a human born without a heart- they didn't mind, for they knew Amatheia loved Her creations, She loved them so much they knew there was enough love in the world already. But that was until they met a kind god, whose love could even surpass that of Amatheia's. They grew so jealous of that love, of that god's heart. 'Why can't I have one of my own' they cried. So in the end she took it for herself"

CAN YOU BELIEVE I WENT 10 DAYS WITHOUT MENTIONING MY CSMP AU!?!!?!?!?!?? Anyways, a green colour palette? I have to use these two right? Otherwise I would be drawing Rena. Again. Without getting into the very complicated DoCaS lore (I mean for the Copper timeline I have a masterpost here), in both timelines Kye ends up having her heart replaced with that of Tisias, her mentor and closest friend in her early life. The funny thing about Mordei!Kye (Gold timeline) is that because of a horrible case of misunderstanding/miscommunication she ends up killing him herself and taking that heart for herself. I am sure this definitely won't have any bad ramifications. Worst part of it all? He'd willingly give them his heart in any timeline even when asked upfront. And in every timeline his love will always be a curse for her. The horror of love am i right?

From bweirdart's OC-tober prompt:

While I am doing this challenge mostly to keep an archive of my characters on tumblr (and to incentivise myself to draw them), if you, person stumbling upon this post, are curious and wanna learn more, my askbox is open >:3c
