i still regularly think about that time someone in a discord server, upon meeting me for the first time, said some shit like "heh. why do you always hurt me?" and i was like what. and then they said "oh. sorry. i.. mistook you for someone else" and every time i remember that i temporarily think maybe i should name myself something other than Cupid because people LOVE to be cringe about my name

#that server had a big problem with people being loudly self deprecating and fishing for comfort/compliments/etc #lots of guilt trippy language too #so i was already considering leaving when that person joined #also people using 1. my name or 2. me mentioning my partners as an excuse to start whining about how lonely they are pisses me off #this isnt to say no one can ever complain to me.#it's just when someone hears my name and starts bitching #or when i offhandedly mention my partners (like 'sorry for the late reply - my boyfriend needed help with something') and they start talkin #about how theyre 'forever alone' or whatever #romance just bores me on a good day but sometimes it makes me DEEPLY uncomfortable #on the off chance anyone reading this isnt aware #im aromantic and im in a qpr with two people #and the only thing that changed when we changed the label from 'friends' to 'queerplatonic partners'#was that we started calling each other babe more often.#the fact that we're very close and comfortable with each other and wanna live together etc is more important than like. the labels.#and all of us are aro.#so people hearing the words 'my boyfriend' and then going on about how much their life sucks without a romantic partner is 😐
