#asexuality is a spectrum man

[diamondzart]

I’ve seen the Jayvik nation blowing up today because Christian said that Viktor is ace solely because he keeps trying to establish that Jayvik is not canon so bad. And it kinda made it more confusing to headcanon Jayvik being asexual because the dude probably forgot that not having sex doesn’t mean the same people can’t be in romantic relationship. Because they absolutely fuckin can, okay? I was headcanoning them as an ace ship before Christian decided to use asexuality as a tool for his borderline homophobia regarding this ship. I don’t agree with him in any way, I will keep seeing them as a romantic couple and I have absolutely nothing against people who see them as active sexual partners and draw and write smut, it’s completely fine, and I headcanon them as ace solely because I myself am an ace and this is simply my comfort zone. I hate to see it suddenly being used as an argument like that. I send love to all Jayvik shippers out there!

AU where instead of Shen Yuan being obsessed with Luo Binghe, he's instead obsessed with the scum villain himself. I mean we all know Bingge is Very Not Good Person™ but you know who else a Very Not Good Person™? Say it with me: Shen Jiu

Like just imagine a timeline where Shen Yuan is writing paragraph after paragraph about how Shen Qingqiu might actually be a good person but Airplane is wasting his potential. The other commenters are saying he's delusional because he abused the protagonist and as all these TERRIBLE allegations towards him. So he's a clear cut villain.

But Shen Yuan is defending his fav with the vigor of a devout worshipper. He's constantly siting parts that are obvious plot holes and how they could give much needed context to Shen Qingqiu's character.

Other people are demanding for worst things to happen to Shen Qingqiu to spite him. Airplane caves. Shen Yuan actively commissions art and fics where Shen Qingqiu is happy. People tell him "Shen Qingqiu won't fuck you bro"

Shen Yuan isn't interested in that. He's a freaky little man with freaky little likes. He'd gladly take Shen Qingqiu's cold glares and even volunteer to have tea poured on him.

When he finishes PIDW, he's been outraged that Shen Qingqiu was killed off a while back. He's even more outraged that Shen Qingqiu wasn't given any mention at the end.

Now, imagine with me that he gets transmigrated into some NPC, literally Unimportant Character No°5. Probably as the head disciple for drama reasons. And as soon as Shen Jiu is brought in, scruffy and hissing as he is. He immediately hugging his thighs and saying he'll be peak lord for sure.

Please follow me into this suspicious alleyway as I continue to explain my vision fueled by sleep deprivation.

So now imagine your Shen Jiu. You're a former street rat and demonic cultivator, you aren't expecting to be liked or respected. You're expecting it, you've come to terms with it a long time ago. What you weren't expecting was for this random ass guy you have to call da-shixiong is immediately insane about you.

He met you first day, literally saw you bite a guy, and immediately started spouting out how you'll be the next peak lord and the absolute envy of Cang Qiong Mountain. You conclude he's missing a few screws because he said it in the most disgustingly sincere way.

You try to continue on with your life, trying to beat him and he looks almost... Excited about you beating him. So he's an M, you think to yourself. But then you see someone trying to beat him or you on something, and this guy immediately gets aggressive. Okay so he's just weird with you.

You continue to deal with him. He's weird but also weirdly respectful. He leaves if you tell him to leave. He defends you like it's his very birth right. He's always there to tend to you as if you were a god. He doesn't touch you and only sits around like a dog waiting for a command.

You eventually get strong enough to beat him, and this absolute buffoon is over the moon about it, already spouting about your supposed success again.

When you actually become peak lord, it isn't surprising. Your hype man has been saying it since day one, he was expecting it for some reason. He continues to spout out nonsense about how he just knew you were going to do it.

So what now? You obviously desire him carnally. What is the next step?

Okay so I know this wouldn't fix them. Almost without question this would make they both worse. But, hear me out, it would be funny. (Especially since just know Shen Yuan's entire inner monologue would be him saying he's just being a good friend as if he isn't being the gayest man in the sect and Shang Qinghua is there. That's an accomplishment to outgay the author)

i will always dislike the stereotype that cisgender men are just beings who only think / care about sex, so my cis men out there who are asexual or just genuinely don't think sex is that important, you are seen and will always be valid :D /gen

[show-us-kaidenshenandoah]

every time i watch anything with him in it (admittingly, predominantly from the Dropout app), i am reminded that Lou Wilson is the most handsome man to have ever lived. like, objectively. he just is. i will hear no arguments for any other person to be ranked higher. Lou Wilson: whose face single-handedly shows humanity can go no higher in beauty. he is THE most attractive man in the world. argue with the wall lmao

[angelic-transsexual]

i'm not very vocal about being asexual, however all of the misinformation surrounding asexuality just frustrates me. i'm not broken or wrong. it's not a medical issue. i DO NOT have a "low sex drive." it's not a choice either, i am not "celibate" or "pure." it's not just cis-het people who have said these things and have made these assumptions about asexuals and asexuality. it's also a lot of queer allosexual folk. I'M STILL A GAY MAN STILL BEING ASEXUAL.

[factual-flittermouse]

So many options :)

[fuckingmentallyilly]

Hey @staff , feel free and do your job and hunt down the fucking sex bots on the #asexual and #transgender tags!!

[monochromatic14u]

Im so goddamn touch starved and it’s not funny. If someone were to just gently hold me or gently rub their hand up my arms, I would fucking melt man. I just wanna be held and coddled and my brain left into mush. I wanna kneel but me able to rest my head on someone’s leg and be pet and caressed like a beloved pet and not have to worry about human things. I wanna game my hands tied behind my back so I don’t even have to worry about using my hands to do anything. I would be taken care of no matter what. Just being able to be adored and touched non-sexually. The only thing I have to be concerned about is emptying my mind and letting myself just feel and relax.

Got my hair trimmed (and yes I'm 19 ik I have a stupid baby face)

Finally drew something on time for the International Asexuality Day!!

I hope everyone gets to wake up feeling happy with their identity, and happy special day to all aces today!

ID: a digitally draw comic that consists of six panels. The color palette has the colors of the asexual flag. First panel shots an alarm ring getting cut by someone in their bed. Second panel shows an anthropomorphic cat waking up, still sleepy and with their hair messed up. Third panel is the cat in the same position, except they look startled. The fourth panel shows the cat with a happy expression, and a speech bubble that reads "I'm very happy for being asexual". The fifth panel is the cat getting out of bed with a smile on their face. The last panel is text that reads "Happy International Asexuality Day", each word is in a paragraph and has the colors of the asexual flag. The background is also the asexual flag.

i feel like not enough people talk about how different and awful it can feel sometimes to be in the aroace spectrum but maybe thats just me idk

[ti-girl1226]

Gambit is on the ace spectrum. More specifically demisexual or gray-asexual. he although may be very flirty, but like It doesn’t mean he wants sex. Anyway these are my thoughts and i wanted to show them.

[angelic-transsexual]

Just had a cis gay man tell me that discussing genitalia of others is “apart of being a gay man” and his example was “gay men send each other dick pics first thing.” I need you bigoted cis gay men to get a grip please. Not every gay man goes on grinder and exchanges dick pics. Not every gay man experiences sexual attraction in general.

[toomanysubcultures]

since it’s ace week I feel the need to spread acespec Frank castle propaganda

[cheesecakeislazy]

Being bisexual is really funny- Cause most of the time I have a preference for men and then I remember that girls are super cute and wanna kiss one.

The cute girl trigger is always something weird too- Like my most recent one was fucking Class of 09, I dunno bro I got 2 whole options and I’m still single.

Also Femboys are possibly the perfect thing for Bisexuals. Well- it depends on the person, but Femboys need love too.

As a romantic asexual I headcanon just about every single character (and ship) I like as asexual/on the ace spectrum. I just feel there's not enough representation of non-sexual beings engaged in romantic love in popular media. I'd really love it if more stories explored good and fulfilling partnerships that thrive even without sexual intimacy. I'm not against characters being sexy or having sex I think it's just really neat when figures can exist and fall in love without a big part of the relationship revolving around fucking. I love when people, ace or not, can explore their sexuality on their own terms and set boundaries that are accepted and respected by their partners. I love when they realize they're more than their body and what their body is able to provide in terms of sexual fulfillment. I love emotional intimacy independent of the pressure of sex.
