Nothing like Heartstopper S2E8 removing some of Taylor Swift's "seven" lyrics just so that the singing can specifically come back in at "Or hide in the closet" while Isaac is processing difficult emotions related to the book he's reading (i.e., Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen).

Did I mention "Or hide in the closet" hits just as the camera focus finishes shifting away from Isaac?

This is fine

My experience of discovering i'm demisexual at age 25

edit: for context, I identified as strictly asexual until earlier this year!

Ace of the Week #1: Maël Le Gall

As much as we like to say that teenagers don't/shouldn't think about sex, the reality is that, well, they do. It's one of those things that people don't tend to notice is all around them until someone points it out. Teenagers are often surrounded by conversations about sex or containing sexual undertones. Combined with puberty and this idea that sexuality means adulthood... it becomes a bit of a boiling pot for anyone who can't identify with it.

It doesn't take long for anyone to eventually catch on to precisely what kind of responses are expected from certain questions/situations. Even more so when you're trying so desperately to fit in, just as Maël's driving motivation was in the beginning.

And while this certainly helps you blend in, it also contributes to the larger idea that asexuality is "invisible" and not relevant outside of the bedroom.

Internally, the pressure to be engaging in sexual activities and/or discourse may lead an asexual person to feel like they're broken somewhere. And this is, most unfortunately, a common phrasing you hear from asexual people about their pre-label feelings.

Just listen to Maël's voice in these 2 moments. And the way his eyes darted around? The performance by Miguel Vander Linden is spectacular.

tacking on "AS FRIENDS. IN A PLATONIC WAY" to everything i say

[thereallyreallylatebird]

Being a (romance-neutral/repulsed) aromantic is looking back at the shows/movies/books/etc. you've gotten the most into over the years and realizing that nearly all of them have the common thread of centering some kind of found family where romantic relationships are not treated as more important than every other kind of relationship.

bitch what?? says who????? is there a law that states that every single person on earth has to have sex at some point????

sounds like a you problem tbh!!!!!

lmao WHAT are you fucking talking about!!!!!

YEAH AND???? SO WHAT??? WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK IS THE PROBLEM WITH THAT????????

who the fuck are you to dictate what other people do (or DON'T do) in their bedrooms?????

god i really really really really despise that societal expectation that everyone HAS to have sex at some point. i hate that society thinks that you HAVE to have sex in a relationship

and i also really really really really hate and despise that thing that happens in media that a couple HAS to fuck each other pretty much the day after they get together (if they haven't already at that point). like, even IF we're talking about a relationship where the people involved really ARE going to sleep with each other at one point.... you can literally take your time???? until you get to that point???? you can get to know each other first and figure out other aspects of the relationship first before you sleep with each other for the first time???? like. that's a thing??????!!!!!!! like. you don't even have to be asexual in order to wait until you have sex with your partner??????? do the writers realize that?????? clearly they don't

honestly what's with that expectation that kawi n e e d s to fuck pisaeng right away when they've only just started dating????? let kawi get comfortable in the relationship first please???? honestly what the fuck is up with all that stress and pressure????

ngl i find this particular scene extremely uncomfortable in so many ways

I‘m not putting this in the main tag but I‘m so annoyed by people taking Fizz being uncomfortable with Mammon‘s insistence on people fucking toys with his likeness as a sign that he‘s ace… I mean, I don‘t know any allo-sexual person who would be cool with this and it feels strange that people are conflating somebody who‘d like to have agency over his own image and not be a literal sex object with somebody who doesn‘t experience sexual attraction…. (It also comes pretty close to the whole thing with victims of sexual abuse or orientation being portrayed as sexless and/or sexually broken)

I mean, sure, there are plenty of kinky asexual people, just like there are aromantic people who write love stories (*cough*), but it makes me feel weird to think people believe allosexual people would be ok with the shit mammon is pulling…

I feel like I'm in limbo with the fact that I want this blog to be SFW cause I often talk about stuff like FNAF and Super Mario and those few times about Treasure Planet..

But then motherfucking Sukuna exists and there's alarms going off in my head like "warning warning NSFW incoming."

[song-tam]

watching bridgerton and literally no one on this show talks to each other instead of fucking. guys please stop kissing before youve had an actual conversation
