TELL ME UR THOUGHTS BB I WANNA KNOW SJJS

[rangent-central]

THINGS I LOVED ABOUT ARCANE S2

Featuring art, writing, and music analysis for my fellow scholars lol

Spoilers ahead!

Every friggin frame of this show is absolutely gorgeous. It never ceases to depict the beauty in even the ugliest parts of the world.

Dat theme song intro tho! Every character highlight told an interesting story, especially Jinx's flag thing and Caitlyn's Macbeth reference.

The Bridge leitmotif (not sure what else to call it) popped up a LOT in the OST this season! (I'm referring to the little tune baby Powder sings in the first scene of the show.) I think it's Jinx's (or maybe Powder's?) theme. Notable places where the leitmotif appears is when the others touch Jinx's shoulders in solidarity during the prison break. Also it shows up in the song "The Beast" that same episode, when Warwick attacks for the first time. The leitmotif's meaning seems to shift over time. It starts out as a theme song for Zaun's people, and then becomes inherently tied to Jinx after she becomes a symbol for Zaun's freedom.

Sevika. Just, everything with Sevika. Her fight with Smeech. The dramatic cape fling-off to parallel season 1. (All the women in Arcane are WAY too hot for their own good 🫡🥴)

Caitlyn's vampire cape during her Dictator Era

Vi's pitfighter scenes were super fun to watch (Cocktail Molotov is my favorite song from this season). Not super fun for Vi to experience, tho. Sorry girl!

Literally every part of act 2 (in regards to the Jinx/Vi family dynamic). The fantastic action scene involving Warwick in the prison. Jinx being the one to figure out he's Vander. The catfight between sisters in the mines ("oversized b****-mittens"). The "He's your dad too," and letting Jinx break down and hug her dad 🥹 Their little family has changed a lot, but for a short time, they were together again.

"[That self-serving war pig] oinked poison in your ear" is a genuinely funny insult that still manages to pack a punch.

Isha's sacrifice 😭😭😭 It's a good thing none of my roommates were home when I watched this because I got punched in the face by my own tears. (idk how I actually thought she was gonna make it. -_-) Not sure how I feel about Isha dying as a writing choice, but they gave her a great sendoff. Specifically the shot where she looks Jinx in the eye and does their signature finger guns. You can see the tears in Isha's eyes. How hard this is for her to give up her happy life with Jinx. But she'll do it with a watery smile, because that's what Jinx would so for her.

Heimerdinger's voice actor can SING???

I really loved getting to see Ekko this season. Especially during the trip to the alternate reality. That whole episode was so good. He's such a good boi and I want to protect him.

Alternate Universe Powder has a pink streak in her hair for Vi.

Ekko puts on a couple pink and blue hair ties into his hair after that episode.

Jayce and Viktor are confirmed to be in a Queerplatonic Relationship (at least in my mind) 🧡💛🤍🩵💙 Y'all better not come after me for this one lol. I never saw them as having sexual or even romantic feelings for each other. Jayce even calls Viktor his brother at one point. Viktor doesn't seem to express any romantic tendencies, so I've always headcanoned him as Aro/Ace. Anyway, I think it was a great choice to have the two of them transcend the labels of relationships and express pure love for each other. It felt very Queerplatonic to me, which made me happy.

Speaking of which, the scenes where Viktor is in that space void is absolutely GORGEOUS. I could stare at those colors forever.

Uhhhhh we're actually NOT going to put the finale on the list of things I liked. I was worried Arcane wasn't quite going to stick the landing at the end...I might've been right to fear that. Some characters (Like Jayce, Viktor, Heimerdinger, and arguably Jinx) got a good sendoff. (I definitely believe Jinx isn't dead, just off redefining herself apart from others.) Other characters...not so much. Mel, Vi, and Ekko lost every part of their families, and are left with basically nothing to show for it. They all just seem really lonely by the end. I mean, Vi has Cait and I assume Vi and Ekko still talk. But I can't shake the feeling that they didn't get a true catharsis. I think the successor show to Arcane will explore Noxus (and therefore Mel) more, so I think there's still hope for her, at least.

And finally, you guys. It lights my world to see people analyze this fantastic show and point out details I missed. And y'all making the fanart are amazing! Shows like this inspire artists to play with their style and find beauty in chaos.

If you got this far, thank you for hearing me out 😊 I hope you have a wonderful day!

[vidavalor]

I just happened upon your blog (right terminology?) and I’m learning a lot. One thing that startled me was your referring to Crowley and Aziraphale’s love (sex) life as a matter of course, something seemingly everyone but me knew about. I was blown away and really wanted it to be true. After all, they’ve had to do without so much—openness, safety, the expectation of future togetherness. It would too unfair if they had to do without physical consummation too. What’s the deal with this? How do we know it’s so? What’s the history? Please enlighten me. Have you written posts about this? I’d love to read them. Thanks

Hello! Thanks for the ask. Nice to meet you. I call it a blog because I'm old and don't know the cool terms but we can call it whatever lol. I have no idea re: how many people who view the show and are able to see that Crowley & Aziraphale are more than friends (because, believe it or not, that concept still shocks some lol) who think that they're already lovers. I do think I'm sort of in the minority, maybe, even if there are a bunch of people who think that they're already a thing. When scrolling through the Ineffable Husbands tag on here, I tend to see a lot more posts that suggest that they aren't lovers and that 2.06 was their first kiss. (Let's hope that it's not lol.)

I guess I would say that if you are thinking about whether or not they might be, consider that Good Omens shows you most of its story out of chronological order in order to give layered meaning to the stuff you've already seen so, just with that knowledge alone, it would be actually pretty surprising if 2.06 was the first time they'd kissed. In S2 itself, earlier on, there's some heavy suggestion that it's not. If you want to read about when I think that happened, go here and I'll link you one more post at the bottom of this response here:

While I like to read all points of view-- I read a lot of aro ace GO stuff as well, even if I don't necessarily see that in my own interpretations of things-- I have thought they were sleeping together since the first time I watched S1 a few years back and S2 just kinda reinforced that for me. I think that, technically-speaking, there's a path to either they still haven't gotten together or that they're long-time lovers. I say that but honestly... it's more like if they somehow do something that suggests that they're only getting together during/after S3, I think it could kinda work but I honestly don't actually think that's the story they're writing. I'm pretty firmly set on the idea that they've been sleeping together for, uh, a very long time at this point. Someone told me the other day via messages that they would burn my house down if I did not finish a sex meta that I promised people so I best maybe get on that and also potentially call the police lol. (I am both flattered and scared?). So, uh, I'll get that up soon... I wrote a couple of longer metas lately about different eras of their relationship that are replies to recent asks on my blog-- I'd probably recommend the one about what they call each other and coded love confessions in 1941, if you're looking to read about them as a couple that's already a couple (even if they would have an anxiety attack at the word 'couple', as Crowley does in 2.06 lol). Will link it below. I'm very flattered that you and others have asked to read more of what I think and I have gotten asked a lot for more sex-related content so, uh, watch this space, I guess? :)

Make yourself a tea first or plan to come back to it as I'm wordy lol:

Anime I watched in 2023 (Part 2)

If you came here from the part 1, I thank you and I appreciate you. Now, this part of the list will include some shows I wanted highlight and some extras. Okay, that's it. Let's go!

Some of my older lists:

My favourite animes (Old. Tells of my tastes back in, like, 2018-2020 or something. Updated list coming once I get around to it)

Feel good anime Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3

Blue Lock

Yoichi Isagi is a member of his high school’s soccer team and during one of their important games, he makes a decision that costs their team a chance of going to the nationals. Bitter and disappointed, Isagi returns home only to find a letter from the Japan Football Union waiting for him. He has been chosen to be a candidate for a new projects called ”Blue Lock”. The competition is tough and ruthless. Who will make it through to the end?

24 episodes - sports

Everyone and their mother watched this one for sure. I might hate irl soccer due to finding it extremely boring (sorry irl soccer fans), but this one I really liked due to it making the sport actually interesting for me. I gotta also say that I found their eyes kinda unsettling when they entered their ”monster modes” (I can not say that with a straight face lol) but other than that, the animation was quite good.

Moriarty the Patriot

In the late 19th century Britain, William James Moriarty and his accomplices with nobles’ blood on their hands work together on a grand plan to bring down the system that favours aristocracy. A mathematician by day and a crime consultant by night, William James Moriarty is about to meet his match - one gentleman called Sherlock Holmes.

24 episodes and 2 OVAs - drama, thriller, mystery

Love me some more victorian era Sherlock Holmes shenanigans. I was so late to this one but it was still so worth the watch (and the read. The manga is just *chef’s kiss*)

*Mastermind by Taylor Swift playing in the distance* Honestly, imagine meeting you soulmate (platonic or otherwise) and them being on the completely other side of law from you. The drama of it all. (Yes, I’m very normal about these two)

Dr. Stone (Season 3 + Nanami Ryuusui Extra)

Over 3700 years ago, a mysterious beam of light enveloped every human into a layer of stone. To stay conscious, Ishigami Senku started to count seconds from the moment he was petrified. When he manages to break free from the stone in the spring of the year 5738, the human civilisation as he knew it had already disappeared. What will happen from now on? What will happen to rest of the petrified people? Are there others who have depetrified?

3 seasons + Nanami Ryuusui extra - action, adventure, comedy, drama, sci-fi, shonen

You will find this anime/manga on my updated favourites list, I’m warning you in advance.

I love, love, love this anime so much. It follows the manga so well and yes, I do recommend the manga for anyone interested. It’s really, really good and didn’t let me down unlike some others have. Also, it’s so refreshing to have a main character who is actively very much uninterested in sex and romance. How aro and ace of him (personal headcanon, no need to fight me for it)

BRB gonna go make myself a Gen Asagiri cosplay. My favourite scheming gremlin.

Tomo-chan Is a Girl!

Tomo is a high school girl with a crush on her long time bestfriend, a boy named Junichiro. She tries to confess to him but unfortunately she has been placed into the friendzone from where it seems almost impossible to escape from. With Tomo being very tomboyish and physically strong, it’s just hard for Junichiro to see her as a girl. Will she get out of the friendzone? Maybe she should get some help from her other friends…

13 episodes - romance, comedy

I didn’t think I would like it as much as I did. ’Childhood bestfriends to lovers’ trope with a healthy sprinkling of pining, chaos and ridiculousness. Delicious.

Romantic Killer

Anzu, a high school girl obsessed with video games, cats and chocolate and fully uninterested in romance, gets assigned a wizard that is going to do everything in their power to create the perfect love life for her. Anzu, however, is having none of it. Game on, you stupid wizard!

12 episodes - comedy, romace, supernatural

I kind of have a lot to say about this one, so buckle up. As an aroace person (who also, coincidentally, loves cats, chocolate and video games) I found the premise a bit annoying at first. I do love, well, love, but it pissed me off that romance was treated as an ”end all, be all” kind of thing and everything else as irrelevant rubbish. Trying to force someone into a relationship via magical means felt wrong. You could say I’m reading too much into this and yes, maybe I am, seeing as the premise was a ”to counteract the low birth rates” gag, but I’m also entitled to my own opinion and critiquing hetero- and amatonormativity.

Regardless, I ended up actually quite liking the anime as it progressed. The backstories for the characters were interesting and I found myself really loving Anzu’s headstrong personality. She doesn’t let the wizard push her around and stands her ground quite often. I really appreciated that. Also the humour in the show did make me laugh quite often, which is always a plus. That being said, I wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to whack the wizard around the ears. Annoying little thing, that one is.

Sasaki and Miyano

Yoshikazu Miyano, the schools resident BL loving student, meets his senpai named Shuumei Sasaki after he saves Miyano’s classmate from being bullied. This chance encounter and Miyano accidentally revealing his interest towards BL bring the two together and from that day onwards Sasaki is stuck to him like glue.

13 episodes and an OVA - Romance (BL), drama

My VPN worked its ass off when I read this manga on some shady ass website lmao. I just had to know what happens after the point where the anime ends.

Very sweet. Do recommend.

The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting

Kirishima Toru works for the Sakuragi family. One day the head of the yakuza crime family summons him and tasks him with the duty of taking care of his daughter, Yaeka. How will this ”demon of Sakuragi” handle his new responsibility of watching over her?

12 episodes - comedy

This filled the hole in my heart that Spy x Family ending left at the time. Really heartwarming and I loved the bonds the characters in this show had.

The Salaryman’s Club

Shiratori Mikoto is really good at badminton. That is until an incident in the Interhigh leaves him unable to play how he wants to. Things start to change when he gets a job at Sunlight Beverages and joins their weak and amateurish badminton team.

12 episodes - sports

I saw no one talk about this??? Anyway, I liked this one. A lot. There might a little bias on my side since I actually practiced badminton when I was younger, but I think I would have liked this regardless! The characters had nice dynamics and liked the aspect of ’salarymen by day, badminton players by night’. Have you even lived if you haven’t experienced the highs and lows of corporate world badminton?

And finally, we have a few honorable mentions without descriptions, only vibes and opinions:

Latest season of Tokyo Revengers (Chifuyu truly is the bestest of boys, the homiest of homies. I also read the manga in its entirety. That one I have… a lot of opinions about, not all of them good)

Our Dating Story: the Experienced You and the Inexperienced Me (this one was just okay for me. I actually don’t know if I ever finished it… Well, I’m gonna have to accept the fact that I’m just not someone who enjoys the ’established relationship’ trope…)

Trigun Stampede (I’m not usually scifi kind of person but this one I really enjoyed!)

Komi Can’t Communicate (Not much to say about this one. It was very nice and I particularly liked the way Tadano almost seemed like he was able to read minds hahaha)

The latest season of Demon Slayer (Honestly, a little disappointed. It felt simultaniously very slow and very fast. Also, kinda boring compared to the last arcs. Still decent tho)

Spy x Family (Ah, Spy Family, my beloved. I liked this one a lot)

Chainsaw Man (Gotta admit, I was a little traumatized by the episode 7. I have never wanted to crawl out of my own skin more while watching anime, than I did while watching that episode. The skipping and pausing I had to do with that one… Damn. Other than that one episode, I liked this one enough to finish it)

My Dress-Up Darling (mixed feelings about this one. I just wanted a nice anime about cosplay and sewing and ended up getting fanservice and sexualization of minors. I’m in my mid to late 20s, I don’t need that shit. Just feels weird and wrong. I did finish it, albeit I did skip all the fanservicey scenes)

[agerefandom]

1, 4, 29, and 37 for the author ask game please!!

Thank you thank you! I love writing questions and this ask game is soooo fun!

Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

Ohhh this feels like I'm going to drag myself for only writing one (1) kind of fanfiction

I like spending a few paragraphs on background (memories and how the person got into the current situation, since I write oneshots), then a problem with a little bit of angst, and then it gets resolved and we get a page or two of fluff to fix it all. That's my standard agere formula! Now you can tease me when I follow it 80% of the time.

4. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?

My gosh I have so many requests in the inbox I don't really do my own fic ideas anymore! I'm mentally prepping for the follow-up to my Great Comet of 1812 fanfiction: relistening to the musical and generally turning the characters over in my head.

29. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Ough I have been writing a self-insert version (with the author's permission) of a FNAF fic and it's been so very fun: my partner has been talking about writing a sequel and I've been working with them on it, although I don't think it'll ever really get written.

If you wanna read the best FNAF fic, here it is! It's got an aro/ace nonbinary main character (OC), magnificent robotics writing (to a layman), great character development, and an M rating for violence. It's twice the length of Moby Dick and I read it twice in a month, once by myself and once out loud to my partner. Feel free to hit me up for specific content warnings, since it did make me cry for about an hour, but it was soooo good.

37. Talk about your current wips.

Ughhh I really only have finished fics or fics that I'm stuck on: I do most of my stories in one sitting (and then another for editing), so if I only get halfway through, it's a bad omen.

That said, I'm partway through a fic about Light regressing during the chained-together era and I was having a really good time writing the L and Light dynamic, but got myself stuck right on the edge of Light admitting what was happening and couldn't wrangle him back into character.

And I'm a few paragraphs into the Armand and Lestat part of my IWTV fanfic: I feel like I've really got them down separately but then they start interacting and I'm like ????? who are you????

Anyways this has been me "talking" (complaining) about my wips lol

[silvermoon424]

Re: your post about ppl only caring about romantic ships (I was going to rely but I had too many words lol).

While I am on the ace spectrum (Demi-sexual), I don’t think this is just an aro/ace thing, I think a lot of our society focuses on love as only a romantic/sexual thing when platonic, familial, and other kinds of life can be/are just as fulfilling, valuable, and important! I’ve always felt that my friends are just as significant as my romantic/sexual partners, but in fandom spaces I feel like romantic/sexual relationships are by far the most focused on and considered the most important! When I was first introduced to fanfic when I was a young teen, my friend explained it to me by describing shipping. Like to her, that’s all fanfics were for, was shipping characters and reading about it. But there can be so many great ways to interact with a source material that don’t focus on romance/sex at all, and there are so many wonderful character relationships and dynamics which don’t get explored because people choose to focus on the romantic and sexual relationships between characters.

I personally have never experienced any backlash for sharing my views on certain ships (probably in part because I have a much smaller audience than you and am also less vocal in general), but I do sometimes feel less confident or ashamed of sharing when I feel like a popular ship would be better off as friends. For example, I’ve always seen Chibiusa and Hotaru’s dynamic of that of a powerful friendship, and while I also don’t ship Chibiusa and Helios, I sometimes feel like if I say I like Chibiusa and Hotaru better as friends people will be upset at me or think that I’m being homophobic when really I just think that their friendship is powerful and wonderful and beautiful as it is and that changing their relationships to be romantic or sexual doesn’t elevate the relationship to be stronger or better, it just changes the dynamic. Like both friendship and romance are both valid options which help explore different parts of their characters and the dynamic between them, but I don’t feel like because the two of them are such good friends there needs to be a romance to signify their closeness and the importance/value of their relationships, I love their relationship as it is.

I feel like the actual underlying problems at hand though are that there is still a lot of stigma and shame around exploring sexuality in our society (especially for women and queer people), and the dominance of the nuclear family as an ideal makes us want to prioritize romantic/sexual relationships above all else. People use art to explore their sexuality, and it’s a safe and healthy way to explore our own romantic and sexual feelings by exploring romantic and sexual relationships between characters, and unfortunately I think that many people do not feel they have many (even any) other outlets to safely talk or think about romance and sex. If there was less shame around sexuality in the first place, I think people might not feel the need to put it on such a pedestal and make romantic/sexual relationships the main focus of ships (and a lot of other things too).

I’ve also always interpreted western society’s focus on romantic/sexual love to be tied to upholding the idea of the nuclear family, and indirectly (or directly idk) upholding many sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, and white supremacist notions about gender, sexuality, and power (from the Victorian era, maybe?).

Like, if we tell people the most important thing is their love life, then they’ll prioritize finding a romantic/sexual partner and spend less time establishing meaningful community connections, and thus will rely more on their spouse for emotional support, strengthening the bond of the family unit but also leaving them with fewer resources and more emotionally vulnerable if they try to leave the family. And since many romantic ideals intersect with gender roles (a man is attractive if he is strong and tough and can provide financially, he is chivalrous if he protects the women from any and all possible harm, etc), the emphasis on romantic and sexual relationships encourages people to conform to these gender norms, and thus establishes the traditional family archetype to be the most valuable and correct unit of social order. By reinforcing the idea that having a romantic/sexual partner is (arguably) the most important thing in our lives without giving us alternative structures for building these relationships aside from the nuclear family, it allows the nuclear family unit to continue to be the main way we organize our society and thus the socially correct option.

Wow, I really don't have much to add because you said everything so eloquently!! Great job, I agree with basically everything you said.

I do want to point out to anyone reading this that there actually is a term for society's prioritization of romantic relationships above all else: amatonormativity. And like anon said, it heavily ties back into the heteropatriarchy and the idea that everyone should be cis and in a heterosexual relationship (very preferably in a heterosexual marriage that produces children).

Amatonormativity hurts everyone, not just aro and ace people.

Also even though my account says "NSFW", it's moreso because I post/reblog (cartoon/drawn) gore and blood and violence. Yknow, creepy Grimmdark Creepypasta shit. I also post/reblog suggestive content, maybe even sexual humor, but I never post flat out porn (at least, not anymore). Do NOT follow me if you're expecting trans fetish bullshit or cheap PornHub shit. I don't do that shit.

Another thing I wanna add is that even though I'm anti-proship, I DONT CONDONE HARASSMENT AND DEATH THREATS. That's just as low as the proshippers themselves, you are no better. Most proshippers are a hive mind (teehee The Matrix reference go brr), yknow, saying the same shit; "antis should kay why ess!!", "Minors DNI unless you're an anti", "being anti [pedo, rape, incest, etc] = evangelical puritanism even though they mean actually bad shit not kink and sex in general!!", etc. They are hypocritical bastards that push and push until they can milk out "receipts" to publicly shame you.

If you're an anti but go out of your way to "prove them right about antis being horrible", you are not welcome here. You are the reason why people prefer proship rather than. You are the reason why we are seen as the "bad".

[donotpercieveme123]

What I love most about Naruto (especially the founders era) is that almost every character is so obviously aromantic and/ or ace in some way. There is no need for any of them to experience romantic attraction. It is not what drives the characters or story, and shoehorning it in there only clashes with the priority given to friendship and familial bonds that are central to what makes Naruto, Naruto. (and why it had me in such a chokehold 3 episodes in)

So here are some of my favourite characters (plus sns, and itachi because he and kisame come in the same package lol), and where on the spectrum they fall:

Sasuke: AROACE! and repulsed by both

Naruto: also aroace but his need for love and validation means he wouldn't realise it until his late 30s at least

Itachi: definitely aroace! (Agressively indifferent)

Kisame: definitely aromantic! (And the more i think about it the more I quite like the idea of him being ace too)

Madara: can very easily be read as aggressively aroace (personally I like him as somewhere on the demi or grey spec)

Hashirama: ARO truthism!! (Also love writing him as mostly ace too! Especially if I'm writing Tobirama as a bit of a whore)

Tobirama: I have never seen a more stereotypical aroace in my life! So I usually like to write him as romance repulsed and allosexual (or at least very sex favourable)

Izuna: the most aroallo in the history of aroallos! Romance repulsed, and a whore!

Mito: romance repulsed aro

Touka: also a romance repulsed aro. (They're fwb ur honour!)

Hikaku: the token allo. Jk, he's grey romantic and can't tell the difference between romantic and platonic attraction

Ace flag inspired nails! Click for better quality lol

[ID: Two images, one of each of my hands' nails. They are painted grey and purple, split evenly down the middle lengthwise. Over top they have a lacy floral pattern stamped on, and the pattern alternates between black and white on the nails. End ID]

Me: I'm gonna write a new kink fic

Me: *writes angst that makes me sad*

Me: *writes heavy, emotional dialogue*

Me: *writes potentially unnecessary backstory with more feels*

Me: *writes fluff that's literally making me go awww*

I swear there's gonna be actual sex in this fic at some point, I have like three sex scenes planned 😅😬

I wonder if Aziraphale or Crowley ever miss the music/songs they used to hear in long-gone eras - Mesopotamian, Roman, Medieval, etc. I wonder if Aziraphale has any ancient instruments stashed away or if Crowley ever miracles one up, just so they can hear some of those sounds again

Okay but I'll never be over Aziraphale lifting his wing to cover Crowley's head and I'll never be over Crowley taking that first step to stand under his wing and I'll never be over these two extending that first bit of kindness and friendship towards each other, probably the first either of them has experienced

ahhhhhhhhhh

Aro and ace nail designs I've done recently!! 💜💚

[ID: Two photos of my left hand's fingers curled to show off the nails. The first has an ombre design in the asexual flag colors with purple at the base, fading into white, gray, and black at the tips. The second is the aromantic flag painted in messy brush stokes horizontally across the nail, going from black at the base to gray, white, pale green, and dark green at the tips. There is a black cat sitting in the background of the second picture.]

(my signal is acting up, so i'm not sure if you recieved my message, if you got it twice ignore one of them 😅)

thanks for your long answer!

first of all, i got into atz thanks to hongjoong, then had a brief san moment, but hwa was the one who truly captured my heart eventually and he won't let me go lolol, so i relate! i saw atz on their first tour and didn't pay much attention to seonghwa (even tho he was killing it so wtf what was on 🤡), but then wonderland happened and i was gooooooone. he's a fascinating specimen and very very inspiring too

second of all, despite everything i really liked we ransacked the city and re-read it a few times, so you clearly did something right! i do understand you may feel unsatisfied it didn't turn out the way you wanted. for me it's a good one tho!

relatable on the attraction part, i'm ace and probably aro as well, i generally find people visually pleasing, but it's mostly non-men 😅 there are many attractive male idols, but no one hits as hard as hwa, he's really my ideal gender presentation too 😭 a real chameleon and it's insanely appealing to me

i hope people aren't too rude to you or send stupid shit, cause i know it happened to one person who was strictly writing for one svt member. people complained because they wanted her to write about their biases as well, called her a solo stan and whatnot - just overall bullshit.

i agree, i also enjoy your seonghwas a lot! there's something special about the way you write him

hi hi! it isn't your signal, i got the message - i was just traveling all day yesterday and didn't get home until close to midnight so i didn't have any time to sit down and answer anything especially in the manner i prefer to!

atz is the only group where i switched my bias...and i've switched three times. i got into the group the week of debut cuz i saw a gifset of wooyoung, then hongjoong became my bias from say my name era and onward (idk if newer atiny are aware of how much hate and negativity hj originally got for his mullet but it was nonstop almost the entire time he had it on instagram comments etc. i loved how he stuck with the hairstyle for so long because he loved having it and that really leapt out at me and made me appreciate him more.) and then i switched to hwa during fireworks...but hwa has really hit me HARD on a way the only other idol i feel so unhinged over is probably taemin. (most likely because he plays with gender like a toy and i love that so much, both hwa and taemin are probably the most "ideal type" of idol to me. as you said, so many idols are gorgeous and i can appreciate how stunning they are but hwa and taemin are...just beyond for me.)

it's so cool that you got to see them at their first tour. i was unable to because 1. money to travel since they didn't visit my state and 2. personal reasons involving my dipshit now ex boyfriend. i'm always envious of anyone who got to see them so early lol.

i'm glad that you enjoyed we ransacked the city, another person said it was their favourite story of mine. i know a lot of ppl who love it. as the writer, of course you notice things about your own work that no one else will, and i just didn't think i nailed the gossip girl vibe i was trying to obtain there. i also wanted the city to feel like its own character which i believe i failed at. (and i attempted this again with arrow in the dark which i think i achieved more successfully this time around.) but i can look at any of my stories and note things i believe i "failed" at.

i do feel a mild pressure at times to write for other members of ateez but i like to believe that anyone who has messaged me, or read my asks, or even ppl i've befriended thru running this blog knows what ateez means to me. when it comes to groups, they are my ults. i am into a lot of kpop groups but they are my main loves.

i've never gotten any outright hate messages about it. i love every single member of ateez and believe every single one of the members are crucial to the dynamic of the group that makes it so successful. when mingi was on hiatus it was like smiling with a missing front tooth - you could feel the absence without him there. i love each member for different reasons, i just write about hwa 99 percent of the time because he's like...my writing muse and i'm as smitten with him as one can be when it comes to an idol. but nothing gives me greater joy than the group as a whole and i like to believe? hope? that anyone who follows this blog and reads my stuff knows that.

Doesn’t aro mean you aren’t interested in romantic relationships? So Jack would be the opposite of aro because that’s all he does? Or have I been wrong this whole time?

aro means you’re into sex. Ace means you’re not. You may mean aromantic which is a separate thing. Ace people can be into relationships and aro people may not be. Super nonjudgmental zone right like I’m very aro and bi and I’m into romantic relationships (if there’s a spectrum there I’m not 100% sure where I fall because I’m a lil poly and not that into a romantic partner but I’m as I’ve said before always seeing someone or someones and have been doing so since like 16). You might be ace but very monogamous and very into romantic connections like that’s also fine because romance /=/ sex.

oh! Also!! Y’all I mean obviously you probably know by now that one of my undergrad majors was psych and I’ve got a counseling certificate also and I’ve done a lot of therapy for me including inpatient but my bf and I are starting couples therapy next week with the Imago technique and we’re both quite excited for it (we do both have our own therapists but like this is something we wanna do together to like improve our lives and whatnot) and we told our friends who were here for lunch about it and they were like “why would YOU two go to therapy you seem so happy” and we were like “well you only see a portion lol that’s number one and number two everyone should go to therapy” and in my head I was like “you should’ve seen us in the dog era” and anyway I’ll let y’all know how couples therapy goes. Neither of us have ever done it before but we’re excited.

I have more OC's but their concepts are currently unfinished.

[yourstrulyarrow]

me when ppl ship alastor but they dont write him as aroace (my headcanon/i swear it was alluded to at one point but aro is not canon specifically for shippers' sakes???) or alloace, they just write him as completely allo, they don't include his struggle with his sexuality... he also feels sex-repulsed to me but obviously i have no canon basis on this (apart from his reaction to angel's comments which is... like really not much and doesn't prove anything). they always make someone (usually vox or lucifer*) an "exception" but they don't write it like you'd write greysexuality or something, they don't write how confused he'd be experiencing attraction for the first time in literally, what, 100 years? how long has he been around? instead they just write it like "finding the right person", or it's just smut for smut's sake (i'm going to exclude the ones where alastor is not consenting because... uhhh... it keeps the integrity of alastor being ace, almost exclusively sex-repulsed as well, sure, but it's... really not my thing. (yes i've read some and yes it was because i was trying to prove to myself i'm not sex-repulsed... yes i'm sex-repulsed. some of the stuff with alastor was... really worryingly ME, especially the internalised aphobia or the way he feels about these things happening in these fics...)).

*i dont know if it's about the content i specifically consume/am able to find, but for some reason the ships that were more common in the pilot era (radiodust, radiohusk, radio... uh... charlie and alastor. radiobelle? charlastor??? charlastor i think) seem more respectful of alastor's asexuality. i've seen one fic where alastor is written as demisexual/demiromantic (a radiohusk one) and i loved it a lot, 10/10, even if i personally don't see him as anything but strictly aromantic asexual. it was rlly cute actually and alastor's confusion and internalised aphobia was just aaaaaaaaa. yes. and also probably because alastor is my first fav character and husk is my second... lol. i don't think i've ever read any charlastor stuff so there's that too..? but idk. radiodust (ironically?) always seems to be extremely respectful of alastor's asexaulity from what i've read. i also don't know if any queerplatonic radiorose stuff exists but surely it does. 10/10 option there. actually ANY queerplatonic stuff with alastor is amazing because yes pls i want more qprs hell yes pls pls pls (especially if it mirrors my own qpr in any way).

i like the way the author of Anguish of the Marrow (ao3) does it. 10/10 read for any radiodust lovers or hyper-descriptive writing lovers, there's a few sex scenes but i for some reason (despite being mostly?? sex-repulsed... idk usually id hate it but it wasn't that bad) managed to skim over them without hating it too much (which i was compelled to do because i love the writing so much). pretty sure you can skip them without too much confusion with the plot (idk havent read it in months, ik theres a new chapter). but i LOVE the way they write alastor's asexuality (and vox and angel and rosie and--) oh my fucking god. i also love long long fics and this shit is at like half a million words unfinished? actually i think its at 600k rn. ghjdsfkdsxc its so good. ughghhhsfdjn here's the link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36521164/chapters/91074283

You can't argue that aces can have and want sex and that aros can date and want to date and then get upset when eople ship ace and aro and even aroace characters.

This is a self inflcted wound.

Yes I can and I have.

I don’t mind aspec characters being shipped IF DONE RESPECTFULLY. Like if it’s a canon asexual person in a romantic relationship, that 100% fine! If it’s a canon asexual that you’ve written to have sex but more to explore their identity and emotional connection with sex? That’s fine too! Aromantic character in a relationship to explore attachment or one sided attraction? Great!!

What’s not okay is to erase canon aroace spec characters who’ve been written to not have a relationship, particularly (sex and or romance) repulsed characters. There comes a point where “there’s always exceptions” is aphobic

Also anon, reading exclusionist here. You spun like you either don’t think aro/ace people should date/have sex or that repulsed people aren’t valid.

[amadeusposting]

Since I want to post here more I think it’d be good to have a pinned post so….

INTRO

Hi, hello. My name’s Witalis but most people call me Hades (I also like Amadeus)(can you tell that I am queer and I like collecting names?). I’m 18 and use he/it pronouns. I am a writer, an armature actor, I draw and I love playing around with drag king make-up. So just an AuDHD artist who wants to do everything at once.

Help me out with my top surgery ☆

BYF

I am a punk and have strong political opinions so be warned that I might post art related to that.

If you feel uncomfortable with words like cripple, faggot, transsexual etc it’s in your best interest to not follow me, because as someone who identifies with those terms I will be using them freely. Also - I had a lot of oc’s that live in a lot of different time periods so I will use time accurate language, so yes, I might talk about my character being transmasc non binary and aroace but in the context of the story he will call himself and be called a transsexual fairy (just an example).

STUFF I’M MOST INTERESTED IN AT THE MOMENT

The Magnus Archives

Blue (Just like Raspberries) - book I’m writing

Maroon Stained Thread - book I’m planning

My Sherlock Holmes self-insert lol

GothLit

Victorian Era

DNI

ED blogs | TERFs | Transphobes | Homophobes | aro/ace exclusionists | anti-neopronouns | anti-xenogenders | if you treat queer like a slur | Racists | transmeds | If you say shit like “ Sadly I am attracted to men”/“kill all men” etc | pro-capitalism

I probably forgot about something, I’ll add more if I remember something.

now for Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets, and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer!

edit: im (fern) gonna finish this post. my shit will be in bold arties will be in normal text. if this breaks containment and youre wondering whats going on:

ok so. i named my character Tavzee which ABSOLUTELY dates this game and what era of my life it was in. be nice to me i was a kid ok </3

artie never finished this game lol. hes kinda still in mid-early game i think? he also doesnt remember what hes doing in here. i think hes planning to restart his save file or make a new one.

oh fuck yeah gravity falls. it was arties first big tv show hyperfixation and were thinking of rewatching it soon :) also when you select the game on the ds menu it plays the last few seconds of the opening theme which is cool. also holy shit we havent played this since 2016 so i started a new save file to preserve that one. i know 12yo artie had a lot of fun with this game :)

interior design is my passion. artie named his character after an old name for one of his ocs which dates this massively lmao. what also dates this is the old lesbian and aro flag in the custom designs. also peep the transhet flag he made. we really loved this game

pictures: kid cat has an aspec and nonbinary discourse conference. cocos loss. merrys room. cafe

noted hcs from arties childhood that he incorporated into the rooms:

benjamin: bisexual

coco: pan ace demigirl

fuchsia: lesbian. shes putting the fuch in futch lmao

molly: based on the flowers outside their house: genderqueer and bi

quillson: transhet man

cobb: truffles dad

olaf: bi transmasc demiboy
