y'know, one thing i don't see get talked about much in regards to asexuality is how it feels to never be 'sexually motivated' by anything

and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general

sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever

casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting

it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.

sex is worthless to me

i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse

and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not

i think the barrier between aces & allos is actually even deeper than it seems on the surface at times, because it's more than just the grating expectation that everyone must want to 'settle down' and have kids, it's also the fact that the majority of the world is sort of 'in' on a joke that aces will never truly be a part of

everybody who is searching rick and morty for retroactive validation that justin roiland is a domestic abuser should be lightly dusted in flour and left out in the rain. i think that the proof that he’s a domestic abuser is the domestic abuse that he did and not that there were edgy jokes in his lame cartoon. tbqh.

skk au where they actually develop telepathy but it happens after Dazai leaves and during the four years they don't see each other. Chuuya is washing dishes one night and Dazai's voice pops up in his head. "I wonder what the slug is doing right now? Judging by the time maybe he's washing dishes." Chuuya goes still, mouth hung open and goes "yeah I am mackerel." He hears a "what the fuck" ten seconds later.

alright well not only did i potentially diagnose a friend today but another just thanked me for the recommendation so im just gonna fucking. post about this

if you are flat-footed/overpronate you prolly need insoles

the short of it is that roughly one quarter of the population have an anatomical variation in their foot structure that unbalances you. 75% of the population have feet with three points of contact, forming a stable tripod. people with Morton's Foot only have two, which is sorta like walking around on ice skates all the time

this can cause widespread pain.

standing and walking are meant to be passive actions. when standing straight, you should be able to relax nearly every muscle in your body. when you're unbalanced, your muscles are constantly flexed just so you don't topple over. you're literally expending way more effort than the average person just to stand up.

(see, two points of contact makes you a better sprinter, so evolution greenlit this one. yay us!)

but there's good news! the fix is very simple, and will not cost you three thousand dollars!

check out this website

which is very old and which i got out of one of the textbooks I've been reading. it'll give you more information about what I'm talking about, and you can get insoles for a really reasonable price.

if you're on a budget or skeptical tho, buy some moleskin from the store (pharmacy section) and cut out a rectangle to stick in your shoe, like this

it'll do functionally the same thing as the insoles, which is provide that third point of contact and stabilize your posture. it's literally the simplest fix in the world and not a single healthcare professional I've asked about it has ever heard about it, which has never once failed to send me into a ballistic rage

The love triangle WORKS because:

Patrick has Art as soulmates do, seeing and understanding each other in a way no one else can. In silent stares and sly smirks and shared beds and a complete mastery one the other’s psyche.

Patrick loves Tashi in the way being full only comes after hunger. Oil fueling fire, burning bright before burning everything around them. Feeling love for the first time and never knowing when its too much or not enough.

Art needs Patrick in the same way you have a side of the bed you always sleep on, a brand of detergent you always buy. Stability in the unpredictable, how Patrick knows when to push and when to pull. How he has the spare key to the lock box where Art hides his desires.

Art loves Tashi like a dog needs a master. Freedom in being directed and told, the security you get from being a devoted follower to a higher being.

(And once Tashi is dragged into their orbit like a stray asteroid taken off its course)

Tashi loves Art in the same way you hate all your wasted potential. An alternative future, a time machine that could take you to where your body has not betrayed you. In him and through him she’s given every path: as a wife, a mother, a coach, a puppet master but never a player.

Tashi wants Patrick in the way smokers ignores labels on cigarette boxes. The beauty of self-destruction and passion she’s lost. Constantly chasing a high that hurts so good you’d risk everything to have it again.

Tashi hates and loves them both in equal measure. Resenting them for taking the one thing she loved away from her and forcing her to live her own dreams through two diverging paths. Loving them enough to push them back together where they belong.

And yeah, because the third in their love triangle was always tennis🙄

oh i just read some new tags (from the few people i hadn't blocked yet) under the let buck fuck interview and literally from the bottom of my heart i wanna say i hate you people so much and you're all so fucking stupid. character who canonically likes casual sex can sleep around all he wants bc he's our poor little meow meow but as soon as he comes out as bisexual he's not allowed to anymore :) bc it looks bad :) and that's your woke progressive take. you're reinventing the hays code as we speak and patting yourself on the back bc of it you're literally soooo fucking dumb it's insane. "it was inevitable, what did you expect from a straight actor playing a queer character" did he personally tell you that? are you in his head? do you want all queer artists to go around wearing a pink triangle next so you can feel more comfortable? all the while btw your precious fave is saying things like "yeah it obviously hurts when your bisexual partner has functioning eyes and uses them to look at someone who isn't you". and to be absolutely clear this isn't about ship wars bc i'm not 15 anymore this is about you people repackaging conservative takes in nice buzzwords and calling it activism and using it to harass someone bc of it. literally grow up and grow a fucking brain. imagine how tired i am of reading biphobic rants written by actual bisexual people too

Ok, none of you know what's going on. None of you understand why so many women and young streamers are stepping forward right now. None of you understand why this has to be public.

Multiple large streamers have used their fame, influence, and money to manipulate and abuse those they see as below them. So long as they continue to have fame, influence, and money, this cycle will not end.

This is bigger than just individual cases of sexual assault or other abuse. This is a break down of a much larger problem within the entertainment industry.

These women are telling stories about very powerful men in this space. They are sharing stories of abuse and manipulation. This is very scary for them—it could ruin their careers or lives.

Stop saying "they should have handled this privately." This isn't a private matter. So long as these men have power, they will hurt more women. They aren't sorry. They won't play fair.

By trying to stay silent and bury these accusations, you are ensuring these women never know peace. You are ensuring that more women get hurt.

One day your boss will assault you, and all the men in your life will blame you for waiting as long as you did to speak about it. They will find any reason to blame you. They don't want to get rid of your boss. They hope that one day, they can assault a woman just like you.

This is fucking serious. This is real life. This isn't just some fucking fandom drama that we can bury and move on from. These are real life issues that require real meaningful discussion.

Stop trying to discredit these women just because your streamer is in trouble. You are part of the fucking problem.
