I've struggled a lot throughout my life with feeling pretty as an asexual. For a very long time, I actively didn't want to be pretty and firmly believed I wasn't and was okay with that. Because being pretty meant being desired and that made me feel uncomfortable.

As I grew up, I started to feel pretty and was okay with that because I'd finally internalised that beauty doesn't have to have anything to do with attraction. Beauty is everywhere, so why couldn't I be beautiful too?

But comments like 'you're wasting your good looks', 'you're so lucky to have X features', 'you're really pretty, how are you single?', 'I bet your kids will be so cute' have started to leave me feeling like I'm unworthy of looking the way I do.

I have no desire to ever 'make use of' my appearance by having a sexual relationship or children and I wish beauty was more generally appreciated for simply what it is rather than in relation to anything else.

Why do you like older ships so much?

The biggest thing for me is history. I love the idea of 'right person, wrong time' as kids or teenagers and then reuniting and finding that love again as adults. Many of my ships knew each other and had some sort of relationship as kids, teenagers or young adults where it didn't work out for one reason or another and then they found each other again when it was the right time. And if there isn't that kind of history, I also just love the idea of finding that kind of love later in life because not everyone finds their person as kids or teenagers, you know.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility my trans darlings, especially trans gamers! 💖

Whether you have decided to come out or not, you matter, you are loved, and there will always be support for you, especially from this cis lady. 🌈

So I'm signed up for this online 30's speed dating event for WLW and sapphics right?

Here's the thing: It looks like they aren't even bothering to regulate it at all because I see tons of people who aren't in their 30s and even some men are listed in the people who are signed up for the event.

What's even the point of a specific event for 30 something WLW if just anyone can join it? :/

I think the reason I'm so uncomfortable in conversation with cis men is because in my life the image I've grown up with is that from the American movies and while there's so much to be said about how women in those are basically objects or exclusively love interests or just Really Really forgettable I feel like there's also something to be mentioned about how most of these men are all the same pseudo-tough-guy character that's cool and suave and sexy and the only emotion he's capable of is nonchalant banter (it feels worth mentioning that the American movies I'm referring to are all from the last century I have no idea if that's changed in these last years but a gut feeling tells me no) and I also barely talk to the guys from my grade so the result of kind of growing up with that is that I just genuinely can not imagine real cis men with a complex inner emotional landscape. Maybe this is also an empathy thing but I genuinely can not imagine most cishet guys doing normal people things in their free time that aren't gaming or going to the gym or...idk. making music too I suppose. It's quite comical really but I just can not imagine cishet men with interests or doing stuff like having crushes and it's so strange because I know for a fact I am generally speaking not a sexist person but this little tidbit of apparently just not being able to view cishet men as normal people? Can't get that to go away even if I logically know it's silly. There's a point in this post about how toxic masculinity is a huge issue and affects even those not affected by it and runs really really deep or whatever but I'm too tired to coherently put it together. On the positive side now I get really happy when I see men online talk about how much they love their wives and all that because it's like "wow! Crazy you really are just a normal dude and not some James Bond knock-off like I thought every cishet man was supposed to be! Thank god!"

I also think this is kind of just... how dead people work. Or how death works.

Like actually my friend and I were talking about the idea of Sarah being queer and they made a joke about an "AU where Sarah lives and Joel's daughters date," and I was like, "Uhhh like we're getting rid of the time skip there too or?" and they were like, "Oh yeah she'd be old," because they straight up forgot Sarah wouldn't be 14 if she lived.

He can't talk about the adult woman Sarah would have been because he never met that woman (and that is tragic in itself), but that doesn't mean he didn't know her or he doesn't want Ellie to know what she was like.

Joel saying Sarah and Ellie would get on is actually pretty sad because Joel clearly doesn't remember that Sarah would be in her mid-30s now. To him she is always the teenage girl she was when she died.
