What's your favorite rep to see in books?
Here are a few of my favorite books that feature asexual and/or aromantic leads. For the longest time I never saw characters that were like me in books. I feel like a lot of y'all can probably relate to that in some way. With it being "the month of love" I wanted to showcase characters that don't fit the traditional (read: heteronormative) mold of romance/love.
I included six characters that made me feel seen in one way or another.
1. Charlie Winshaw (The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun)
2. Clementine Hughes (How to Sell Your Blood and Fall in Love by D.N. Bryn)
3. Tori Spring (Solitaire by Alice Oseman)
4. Wren Roland (Never Been Kissed by Timothy Janovsky)
5. Syd (The Heartbreak Bakery by A.R. Capetta)
6. Georgia Warr (Loveless by Alice Oseman)
You don't have to fit what society says you should when it comes to relationships and romance. You don't want a partner? Great! You want three partners? Also great! No interest in anything but friendship? Wonderful! There's no right or wrong answer here and I hope you find representation in the books you read. Even if it takes a little searching to do so. You deserve it. 🖤

Two sights remain vividly in my mind. One was our chief clerk, the worthy Mr Marshall, sitting on his typewriter with a rifle across his knees, supported by an aged gentleman in khaki, one of the Quartermaster's clerks who wouldn’t have hurt a fly, armed with two revolvers. Both of these worthies were prepared to sell their lives as dearly as possible in defence of of the divisional office and officer’s mess, and both would have been of the greatest danger to all but the Huns, for to them the pen was mightier than the sword, and neither were skilled in the use of lethal weapons!
LtCol Arthur Floyer-Acland, a staff officer in the 41st Division, reflecting on the German offensive in March 1918 and fear it caused behind the British lines.

I just have to remind myself sometimes that no matter what anyone else says, the way a piece of media makes me feel and the positive impact it has had on my queer identity is valid, and that tearing myself apart thinking I have to defend it or questioning my own place within queer communities is not at all important when compared to the almost tangible sense of 'rightness' that piece of media helped me to feel about myself.
#just something i've been pondering the last few days#kind of like no matter how much people debate or i suppose theoretically deconstruct media featuring queer stories#the most important thing is how it makes a queer person feel#and I do think it is of course a good thing to ensure queer stories are executed with respect and authenticity#but there's this grey area in fandom spaces in which people may have found rep from a 'unreliable' source i suppose#or something which is queerbaiting- sherlock springs to mind for example yet if people have been able to explore and nurture their own#queerness through that media does that therefore mean their experience is invalid? i don't think so#and my worry is the more we focus on theory the less we focus on emotion and therefore the actual queer experience itself#and sure theory can inform the queer experience and ensure the media is a 'healthy' site of queer identity formation and identity aid#but at the same time scorning or being rude to those who have found certain media an aid is not the right approach to be taking#especially as queer experiences are so wide ranging that one person's idea of 'good' representation is someone's else's of 'bad'#and that unless a piece of media is clearly offensive in its portrayal of queer experience there has to be some benefit of doubt#I think we're still in a period of progression in media espc tv where queer creators are coming to the fore of their own stories#and we've got to 'live and let live' a little about where people are finding sights of queer validation and joy#and perhaps this a naive and simplistic way of thinking but i think queer people can either recognise when something isn't the best rep#but was helpful for them anyway and therefore in a way confer 'ownership' of the media to themselves in how they engage#or there is variety in queer experiences represented in media so that perhaps not everyone finds a 'site' of rep but that does not#therefore invalidate it or make it 'bad' representation#this is just my opinion and it'd be hypocritical for me to not now mention this is only formed from my own queer experience lol#so i'm not trying to tell anyone how to feel or anything just something i'm pondering

🎶I have this thing where I make a new show/album my personality every 3-6 months—🎶
#rn it’s new girl#October was Steven universe which is painfully ironic in hindsight#😀#AND ALSO AGATHA ALL ALONG we had two shows in the fall thank goodness#we had a brief book of bill obsession#this summer was tortured poets#last spring it was the office#what will the next one be#ladybug? pnf?#I love both of those shows but it’s not really healthy for me to make them my personality😅#I’m hoping to like#be excited but chill for all the new content#it is cool that the two shows that really got me into fandom will likely be airing new stuff at the same time tho#I do need to finish adventure time but I don’t see myself becoming obsessed with that beyond the pre existing bubbaline obsession#anyway#fandom#cadence rambles#ik there’s lots of newer Disney cartoons as well but i just don’t find myself intrigued by any of them#I miss the high fantasy of toh and amphibia but that era is over#I’m not really interested in the misadventures of a bunch of random children on an island 😅#NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO WATCH THAT OR GOD FORBID WORKS ON IT#I’m just not the target demographic and not intrigued that’s ok!#I’m enjoying stuff about adults more these days (other than stuff I grew up with)#like new girl they’re all in their late 20s and barely have their lives together and I’m only 24 it just makes me feel normal and alright#rather than looking back to my past and mourning what I could have been#anyway. diary entry over.

wanting to write a story out of a dream I had but it's really just american "battle royale"
#ljke my dream was college students on a school on an island for some spring or summer break study thing#and it starts off as like oh what if we did a weeklong game of manhunt/assassin to pass the time between academic stuff ^_^#and it very quickly devolves into murder. idk I could make some social commentary out of it there's plenty there#the american desensitization to violence and murder. at the end the killings aren't even huge news it's just treated as another day#in the u.s. of a. <- said like trevor singing his totally gay for america song. I'm totally gay for the u.s. of a...#anyway. probably other stuff about how violence is viewed through different economic and social classes. what people decide is#a killable offense weird systems of justice and I've just reinvented part of danganronpa despite never playing the games FUCK MEEE#head in hands. well I'll try to make something anyway

#one poorly thought out post from sports girl club on instagram is a coincidence#two is a trend#what do you mean the most impactful offensive and defensive players on pwhl montreal aren't on here#like hello? make the make sense#it just tells me that this account does not watch games or follow the league#this is like when i made a tumblr post back in the day of broadway musicals based on your zodiac#remember when that was a trend except i only knew about the musicals and not the zodiac#this acct only knows people's birthdays [wikipedia] and not the league#also there is something interesting because i was looking at pwhl Montreal birthdays as someone made a post of everyone by sun sign#and basically more people are born in the spring#like how in school kids born in the fall will be red shirted to develop#youth sports is organized by age#so if you are born in march/april/may you would start the winter sport of hockey at the u-age level but closer to your birthday#so you'd have a physical and developmental advantage and thus be able to advance farther#sorry to be a hater again on main

In spring 2018 they are planning a new offensive:
Good morning, comrades. [. . .] it's time to start this year's summer attack. In a late-night discussion the high command has decided on all necessary steps. [. . .] The first step for me is to record a 'Blitztotalstvideo' [. . .] to attract maximum attention, to recruit new troops and to go on to the offensive both online and offline. Now is the perfect time of the year to start filling Germany's walls with posters, the official Reconquista flyers arrived just in time. [. . .] the Reconquista Germanica will have the opportunity to finally write history in 2018.
