im pretty sure this is not a popular opinion which is why i havent said it, but its been on my mind for months now so fuck it, i guess.

you know that post, the one about the barbie movie and margot robbie talking about barbie being a doll with no reproductive organs and sexual desire, and a lot of tumblr users just like, celebrating this as a win for asexuality?

i hate that post. a lot. like a lot a lot.

because while i dont think margot robbies conclusion is wrong (shes a doll), i think calling barbie asexual is inaccurate and it makes me, an ace person, uncomfortable.

like i dont think its a purposeful link, but that comparison very much implies that sexuality and sexual desire is tied to having reproductive organs, which uh no, thats not how that works and i really dislike that implication. idk about you, but i dont like tying my queerness to my biology.

that link is also one that rings of those who presume that there is a universal normative experience, which is also true of the movie itself, see jessie genders video on that. there are many people in the world who have what would be considered atypical reproductive organs and plenty whose reproductive organs can be considered not-working like those who have gone through the menopause, and they are not all ace.

its also just reductive as to what asexuality in general. margot robbies quote was specifically that barbie didnt feel sexual desire, and funnily enough, sexual desire =/= sexual attraction. while i, myself, be a sex-repulsed ace, there are plenty of horny aces who do the fuck. ive already mentioned the fact that im opposed to linking my queerness to biology, and honestly that part only made me more uncomfortable after the movie ended on "im here to see my gynecologist".

also just, barbie is a plastic doll. like thats how she starts in the movie itself. shes not asexual, shes a doll. and idk dude, theres just a part of me that is deeply uncomfortable with tying asexuality with a doll.

like imo, this just isnt the win for asexuality people were treating it as. we can do better than this.

especially considering the way queerness was handled in the film, but again, go watch jessie genders video on it, its better presented than my rambling post

Phoenix Rising

How many of my followers know about this story? I believe it had been my very (?) first published fic on FF.net a crossover between DP and Arrow.

My writing has definitely evolved from back then, even I have reread my own works and holy moly does it need an upgrade.

Fun Fact: I’ve wrote this BEFORE I’ve had a tumblr account, and oh boy that rabbit hole had a wild slide.

Now, I’m deep in the dpxdc side of things.

My followers who have already read this bloody thing, would you like to read an updated version? Little more fleshed out, less confusion, ideas added, deleted or just glossed over?

Those who are finding about it now, feel free to read it, just know that it’s only available on FF.

I don’t entirely remember every detail, Ghost King Danny is there...eventually. It’s one of those stories of partially planned out and spontaneous ‘sure lets go with that’ moments.

In one week I’ll be on a 2 week vacation, I’ll be working on this plus multiple other stories both fics and original, cause my brain knows no chill.

Leave your thoughts below.

having RSD in your mid-twenties is so embarrassing. "Oooaaaghguauah somebody send me a DM with no punctuation they must want me to kill myself" no they don't fucking grow up oh my god. Except its You and You Can't

In my eyes Grace using her powers to make James and Matthew kiss her, and generally controlling men (Charles being among them but above all James) was always the bigger offence than her interfering with James & Cordelia’s relationship. Like, it’s literally SA by magic (and in Matthew’s case it wasn’t even addressed plus she gaslit him into thinking that he’d done sth wrong and used it to keep him in check), and James was clearly traumatised by the experience. Not saying that Grace deserves eternal punishing for it because it’s def more nuanced than that. But people need to start calling it what it was instead of playing up the romance drama 😭

desperately trying to formulate a "everything reminds me of him" type post of the narrator tsp and the diagnostic section for npd in the dsm-5 but i'm struggling to find a way to make it explicitly clear in a non clunky way that the post would be about the narrator and not like. not like an actual guy. anyway. he married stanley on my legal tomodachi life save look at them. well. i'd say that. if tor were in the fucking house but he's not. it's 12am why is he not at his house
