Random ramble incoming. It's definitely an interesting experience as an aroace person to write a character to whom sex and intimacy is a really big deal.

That's an aspect of Grimm (and Vyrm but to a lesser extent) I don't talk about a lot here, but it's such an interesting part of his character in the AU. To him, that subject is an art form by itself, one that he finds not only extremely enjoyable but also fascinating. Something so primitive and, admittedly, fairly nasty in nature, in his mind is the ultimate manifestation of a deep bond between individuals, one that he feels the other gods often don't understand. Unlike those higher beings, he didn't sleep with mortals to assert some kind of dominance, to flaunt his power over them; he believed that putting himself in an equally vulnerable spot as them was the key. What other gods often found demeaning and beneath them, to him became one of his favorite ways to experience that intimacy.

And I love the inner conflict he experienced for most of his life, where he really craved that deep connection but was too afraid to get attached to anyone. So in all of his experiences, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was always missing. Sex also became a very unhealthy coping mechanism for him during the period Vyrm was missing, where Grimm was on a verge of a breakdown himself. Instead of getting much enjoyment out of it like before, he used it to briefly forget about his pain, almost as if it was some kind of drug. I like to imagine he still occasionally struggles with it, that at low points he may subconsciously seek Vyrm's closeness, before realizing he needs to find a healthier way to cope, one that doesn't paint the love of his life as a drug he reaches for when he feels terrible. Vyrm can help him, but it shouldn't be through sex.

I also find it kind of sweet that with Vyrm he was not only finally able to achieve that complete experience he wanted, but also help Vyrm overcome his own struggles. His body image issues, his strange assumption that lust is bad and pleasure is something he's not worthy of (to the point it sometimes manifested as something almost resembling religious guilt), and just his general lack of experience. It's such a nice contrast where Vyrm allowed Grimm to see and learn how to love someone in non-sexual way, and in return, Grimm helped him overcome his own fears and trauma in those intimate aspects. They can be a bit much when it comes to being overly affectionate, but I think with that context in mind you can't really blame them.

It's a bit random, I realize that. But from an aroace position it's been really interesting to step out of that comfort zone and approach this aspect of the characters from an angle I think is very compelling once you put it together. Ignoring it would be something I'd likely do a few years ago, the topic is one that can very easily change from interesting to uncomfortable for me, especially with how oversexualized everything is sometimes. But I suppose exploring the sexuality of Grimm and Vyrm was a way for me to remind myself that those aspects can make a character very compelling, even if I personally have no interest in those things myself. And hey, maybe someone in a similar position to me will also appreciate it.

The curse of your best friend having three over-protective big brothers.

Bonus:

[cjlouwho]

you don't think we'll get tommy in the sneak peek?

i'd be super surprised if we did. the comments section of instagram is already so damn embarrassing without his presence that I can't imagine how horrible it would be if he were there for even a half a second. for some reason (we know the reason) racist, sexist, homophobic gerrard receives a better welcome than tommy so I think it'd be more likely we'd see him than tommy.

gotta say, a part of me hopes they fuck it all and have him throughout the sneak peek anyway 😂

y7 coulda been a lot funnier if mine lived to see it

Baby kai... Feel like Ms. Morel was the type to use any leftover money not going into savings to spoil Kai since he was her only baby girl.

Otherwise he'd just wear Edgar's old clothes lol,

AITA for spending hundreds of years cloning my deceased older brother after we had a minor disagreement?

What if in Harry Potter the killing curse didn't immediately kill someone? What if they just appear dead with no signs of life but on the inside they're still well and conscious? What if they get buried while alive through the whole process? And if the preparation didn't kill them then what if they just starved/dehydrated to death in a wooden box, unable to let anyone know they're still alive?

Unpopular opinion?

damn we getting spiiicccyyyyyyyyyyy

come hang with me at a sleepover!

oh

idk if this is unpopular but

i once saw a post about not rushing to lose your virginity WHICH IS 100% VALID, but i lost mine at a very very young age and shamed myself a lot for it, so i was a lil :/ when i read some of the comments

like yes wait for the right person, but like not in the "true love, one person" type of way and more in the like...someone you feel safe experimenting with for the first time type of way, y'know?

and also like, if you did lose your virginity at an early age? and maybe not to that "one person" like common media says? (usually your current or long-term s/o if you have one) that's okay. it doesn't define you and you don't have to be ashamed of it.

idk i might have been projecting LMAO but long story short i dislike the concept of itemizing virginity in general because to me sex is just sex and i don't have much of an intimate relationship with it.

any really weird headcanons for your agents?

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh...................................... (thinking)

Three walks around their apartment naked...somtimes

That, or with very loose fitting clothes cuz sensory issues and shit. They'll usually wear a shirt and their captains hat is on 95 % of the time for comfort, but pants are usually not on. underwear is tho.

Eight enjoys this

uuuuuuh what else uuuuuuuhhhhh...

Three accidentally burned their parent's house down as a kid

does that count?

idk if it's weird but it's something

Maybe I should make more weird stuff up for them...that'd be cool...

I could totally come up with some weird stuff for Four they are a FREAK (affectionate...I think...)

[missegyptiana]

i just smudged and calmed down a bit after everything that has been going on. as i was lighting the sage and asking creator to bless the sage and clear the negativity in the space and in my family and i and started talking abt the things that have been going on i cried. i have no one to talk to in person or on call abt what happened with taylor and joe or abt what’s been happening recently in my life, so creator is all i have rn or how sometimes i just say the things that have been going on in my life out loud alone in my room. i’m just so stressed out and just fucking sad so this is all i have rn cause my irl “friends” just talk to me thru text and don’t actually listen or read the words i’m saying and never offer to call or facetimes wheneveri tell them how my life is crashing down so fast

[aru-art]

hourly comics day, 6pm and 7pm. the gloves are simple cotton gloves, and its more effective to wear them overnight but they're useful for not smearing lotion all over everything you touch when you're a bit dry during the day

PINNED POST

hi! im qiangweirosa, i use he/she pronouns and i dont really care how you refer to me. rosa's just fine!

i write for whatever fandom and pairing inspires me enough - i mostly write canonxcanon (or platonic relationships between canon characters), but im not against trying out xreader writing if anyone's interested.

im on ao3 under the same username! so far these are my only accounts with this user (but i do have my personal accounts on other socials on which i do promote my fics)

masterlist !!

some more info in case you're ever interested:

i speak french and english fluently. i only write in english though

my ask box is always open for requests, reactions, suggestions, anything! when it comes to requests tho i cant guarantee ill get to them soon as my inspiration is very volatile

medias i (may) write for: tears of themis, genshin, dr stone, ninjago, tougen anki, persona 3-5

i have specific opinions on a lot of pairings in said medias, so if you request a pairing i dislike/don't care much about i probably won't write them

im mainly a twitter user unfortunately. im sure it shows but that may explain why i use this website in some ways

im also autistic! so that affects how i interact with people

taglist, for navigation:

all fandoms are tagged by their name

my ao3 works = works i transferred here that i wrote before making this blog. they're posted in reverse chronological order, meaning the first fics visible on my blog/on the tag are the oldest

my new ao3 works = works i've written after making this blog!

talking = simply talking about whatever, usually writing! feel free to mute if youre only interest in my fics

my tumblr requests = stuff i write based on requests. might transfer them to ao3 eventually

Although I agree you taste like grape, I feel like you taste more like a mix of grape & vanilla frootie tootsie rolls, which might I say taste absolutely delicious and are criminally underrated (those have like nothing to do with you i swear- /gen)

Oooooo!!! I haven’t had frootie tootsies in a while but they are super good!! Thank you for the taste test :3

The live-action Psychonauts movie looks great!
