Telemachus: Athena how do you tell if you have a crush on someone or are just trying to make up for the fact you've never had a father figure?

One of my favorite things to watch is a friend group that don't know they're queer have 1 (one) realize they're gay, and its just dominoes from there

AND I WOULD FIGHT THEM IF I WAS HALF AS STRONG AS YOU

His eagerness to follow in his father's footsteps but it's all based on stories and an image Odysseus doesn't even care about anymore. he's chasing shadows and trying to turn his father's ghost into something he can wear

Listen. No shade at all to anyone who doesn’t fit this category. But I would love to hear from aroaces who are

a) 25+, and

b) have been in love before. Have been in a romantic relationship they thought was right only to realize it didn’t fit. Who have been heartbroken before.

I would just. Really appreciate knowing someone like that is out there.

When Jorge said that Zeus goes BEAST MODE, he was right.

And I can be the Beauty to Zeus Beast......I'm sorry. I'll go to horny jail now. But his part is so goood.

All I want to do is draw him now, but depression stops hinders me and all I can do is simp for what could be.

This is kind of personal, but does anyone else feel disgusted when you find out other ppl like you?

Like it's just a pretty visceral feeling where I feel dirty all over.

I rejected a friend recently and we decided to stay friends(big improvement for me cause I used to just straight up ghost people or even quit jobs)but I can tell they still like me because no one finds me that funny when they don't and I just. I'm starting to hate them a bit and I really don't want to because I know that's not their fault?

For the longest time I just felt general awkwardness, but after a particularly bad experience with a guy who wouldn't take no I'm afraid it's tainted every possible reaction after.

Instead of fear I feel disgust, which is worse because then on top of my regular feelings I also have to fear guilt from rationally knowing it's not their fault if they catch feelings.

Idk, does anyone have any stories to commiserate? I feel like ppl would look at me like I was crazy if I said this irl.

To the Aroace Tumblr population

I have a question of the utmost importance, fellow aroaces.

I'm relatively new to the idea of being aroace (although I'm quite sure that I've been so my whole life), so I don't know much about it and I only have one ace friend. I've attempted research on several social media platform (including this one and Pinterest) but have yet to find the answer to my question, which is: Am I still Aroace if I am open to the fact that I might want a romantic relationship in the far future?

Some context. I'm almost nineteen, about as financially well-off as the average person my age (which is to say, I dang sure ain't wealthy) and I have no interest in attempting to pursue a relationship, which would be not only expensive (time and money) but I genuinely don't want an emotional attachment like that.

The conundrum that has me sitting here asking for the queer wisdom of Tumblr is the fact that while I am perfectly fine without a romantic relationship for the rest of my life, I am open to the possibility that I might one day meet someone who I'm willing to change that for.

Does that make me not aromantic?

[fellow-fandom-fruitifier]

All I’m asking is 4 sum1 2 luv me queer-platonically the way Macaque loves Wukong, honestly don’t think I’m asking 4 much🙄

IF I FIGHT THIS MONSTER IS IT YOU I’LL FIND

There's something about how Telemachus goes on and on about wanting to fight monsters to be more like his father. And at the same time, his father is going on and on about wanting his monster fighting to be over and done with so he can go home to his wife and son.

not to mention! the interpretation of Odysseus as the monster

[lume-nosity]

dad i like someone what do i do IM GOING INSANE OVER THIS GUYWHAG

you confess.

i’m kidding, but you have to be honest with him eventually. if you see him continue to do the little things that make you quite literally collapse on the floor more often than usual or you see signs of him showing some sort of interest, i don’t think it’ll do you justice to just sit there and be like: “head empty just him in particular” forever,,

if you like someone, even if you don’t think you do, it can develop from ‘nah i don’t like them’ to ‘OH MY GOD I LIKE THEM’ realllll fast. (trust me on this one because the realization would hit you like a train)

judging from your ask it seems that you’re head over heels for him,,, because of that it’s either go big or go home. nothing would happen if you don’t do anything /nm
