Date a demisexual person who is a satanist

[itsaceokay]

I feel like people don't often fully appreciate how hard dating can be for demisexuals.

It just hit me the other day when I found out that most people are kissing by the first date and having sex by the third and to me that is just wild. And apparently, some people wait up to three months before having sex and that's seen as like a really long time and I'm sorry but is everyone okay???

After three dates a person is still a stranger and after three months they're at most an acquaintance - and people are not willing to wait longer and you'll be seen as unreasonable if you want to wait for a year or more??

Has anyone else noticed the utterly adorable sprite that floats by in the background of the newest guest visit space background? Of little fluffy MC, Sheep-chan, clinging to a little rainbow trailing after a falling star? Well I certainly noticed it, and thought it was totally and completely precious. And perfect for a pride symbol too! So here I have made sprites of Sheep-chan clinging to pride flags as they trail after falling stars! I'll be posting them to my Redbubble shop later, but for now, I just wanted to share these little cuties! I hope you find them as adorable as I do!

These designs are available in my Redbubble shop for anyone who might be interested!

If I've missed a flag you'd like to see, please feel free to let me know, I just did a bunch that I could think of!

I'm really, truly sick of seeing people claim to "fight autism stigma" by yelling about how "not all autistic people are asexual". Yeah, it's true, but like... so? A lot of us are ace/aro/demi and that doesn't make us less capable or worthy of love??

Trying to destigmatise autism by pointing out the autistics who experience romantic and sexual attraction is aphobia, plain and simple. It just reinforces the idea that normative romantic/sexual attraction is "better" than other ways of being the in the world. Being ace/aro/demi doesn't mean we don't love or form connection (how does this still need saying). We just do it in a bunch of different ways and that's okay actually. The fact that we form a whole range of different types of relationships and challenge normative assumptions about friendship, family, romance, and sex is one of our greatest strengths.

Instead of going "but autistics also want romance" how about you say "autistics experience all kinds of love and desire and maybe you could learn something from us". How about you say "autistics don't need to be allo to be worth listening to or knowing". How about you say "assuming autistics are miserable or tragic if they're ace/aro is ableist and aphobic".

Pointing out all the allo autistics just further stigmatises the rest of us, and stigmatises non-autistic ace/aro/demi folk, and I'm so sick of it. If the only autism you can destigmatise is allo then you're not destigmatising shit and you can take several seats. (I'm also looking at you, allo autistics who happily throw your ace/aro/demi siblings under the bus in the name of "autism acceptance". We see you. You're not promoting autism acceptance, you're just aphobic.)

One thing I truly adore about Palia is the polyamory and general queerness. It's so nice that we can romance everyone so we don't miss any plots or items, but also its nice as a poly-queer person to see some representation in a game.

There is no jealousy. There is no hateful or painful breakups (as I understand it, if you break-up it is not mentioned and you restart the romance plot-line). No one makes negative comments about two pins or switching out pins.

It's so nice to see positive rep in a game and honestly such a breath of fresh air.

Hello there! Happy Spring! I’ve spent almost the last year working on a Good Omens AU and was hoping to share it here. I also wanted to shout about how wonderful the readers have been. This fandom is amazing. Thanks for what you do to keep everyone informed of the great stories out there.

The fic is finally complete. It’s a fake marriage fic with Aziraphale as a romance author and Crowley as his gardener. Crowley is demisexual.

Congratulations! I do hope you are proud of yourself!

and now all of my garden is grown in lavender by ilikeblue for the_moonmoth [Rated E, 72K words]

Popular queer romance author, A.Z. Fell, has been lying about having a husband and a happy marriage for years. Longing to escape a string of failed relationships and looking for a fresh start, Aziraphale moves into the cottage left to him by his Great Aunt Agnes. When a TV adaptation of one of his books leads to sudden popularity and throws him into the limelight, his fans (and the press) are eager to catch a glimpse of Aziraphale's own mysterious leading man. Unfortunately, he still has to cast someone for that role. Enter the handsome gardener…

Under Crowley's meticulous care the cottage's neglected garden slowly comes back to life, and Aziraphale finds himself writing the most important love story he'll ever write: his own

I, personally, don't understand how or why people are disappointed in Lucanis' romance because there 'wasn't enough content'. It was intended to be a slow burn. And as a slow burn I thought it was lovely and perfectly well thought out.

Sweet baby boy just needed to deal with some trauma and a literal demon in his head. Of course, I'm going to give him time and maybe learn to make coffee so I can help feed his addiction, even though what he really needs is a ten hour nap. When he's done, we can offer some soft smooches and go from there.

And let's not forget that he is canonically demi. Boy doesn't even know he's in love until it's too late.

I wish romance and sex wasn’t so commonly seen as synonymous. I have a crush on someone whom I want to ask to hang out and so many of my friends are making jokes like “oooh asking her out already? You gonna invite her back home? Can’t wait to get in her pants eh?”

…No? None of that even crossed my mind??? I just want to ask to go get coffee and TALK to her. Ideally if we clicked I think it’d be nice to watch our favourite movies together and snuggle.

It’s actually incredibly easy to get sex these days, whether it’s through Grindr, sex work services, even just going to the club and bringing someone home. What isn’t easy, however, is finding that unique emotional connection and intimacy that comes with having a romantic partner. That doesn’t come too often.

And anyway, seeking friendship is my priority because I’m not one to act on romantic feelings unless the other person also explicitly shows interest first. The fact I’m trying to be friends with a girl and people’s instant reaction is to make it sexual is… so weird. I don’t like it. I wish this kind of shit wasn’t so normalised. People should be able to be friends with the gender(s) they’re attracted to without other people making it weird. You absolutely CAN be friends with someone you’re attracted to and if you can’t… that’s a you problem, pal.

It's just so lonely sometimes

"Aroace people can still date"

Yeah and aroace people can also bash your skull in and thats what this aroace person is gonna do if you keep using this as an argument to ignore a characters identity

Date a demisexual who is only staying up late to do some much-needed laundry

[skywritingrambles]

Annnnddd here is chapter two of my jayvik modern blind date au. For some reason tumblr isn't letting me actually insert a link as media right now so I'll probably try again later.

Anyway, in this chapter they've been seeing each other for quite a while now, and decide to hang out at Jayce's apartment. Featuring Jayce's dog, Tamale, but he doesn't do much lol. I promise they'll have some fun with dog soon.

I'm gonna be completely honest I'm not really sure where to go with this from here. I don't have really an overarching plot I just want to show their relationship progressing and uh. I don't know. Any requests or ideas are greatly appreciated!

[ryanwinsatlife]

Reblog this post if you (a person who experiences sexual attraction, even if only sometimes or under certain conditions) would be happy to spend the rest of your life in a relationship with someone and never once have sex with them.

(This is the post I got this idea from. To be clear, I wholeheartedly agree with op)

[coastco7]

It took me going on a date with the sweetest guy I have ever met to confirm I am still very aroace. I find someone that finally respects consent and I have to tell him we aren't going to work out because I don't feel (or enjoy) anything we did.

I thought I could be romantic and just be okay with physical touch and kisses for his sake but I was trying to be something im not. It stressed me out so much I threw up, paced around my house, panicked, and cried.

I have known im aromantic and asexual for almost my whole life yet tried to deny it because the idea of being in a relationship is so desirable.

I thought maybe this is something I wanted since my aroace has always fluctuated but it took so much mental strain to realize I don't actually like being romantic or even touched at all.

It could change in the future as sexuality isn't concrete and that's OKAY. This could be due to deep-rooted trauma I havent worked through and that's OKAY

All I know is that I'm okay with the possibility of never being in a relationship and it's so relieving to finally be able to say that aloud.
