Living w/ aromantics💚🤍🖤
So I'm staying with my grandparents and my aunt for a while, not realizing that we all have something in common. My grandparent's marriage was arranged, despite that they manage to live comfortably and even happily. My aunt on the other hand is not married, the only out of 5 siblings which can seem irregular but she has always been my biggest role model. And then there's me, they live in a quite town embedded with nature and old styled everyday objects like any typical village. The life that they have explicitly seems lonely and boring but if you just stop and look, it's actually very peaceful and healthy. Living with them has thought me that there is no one way of living, none of them has a particularly romantic life but just sitting down at the dinner table made me feel more love than any other dinner table in my family. It's so genuinely soft and caring, though not perfect. Yes the house can get suffocatingly quiet at times, but knowing that my grandparents have successfully raised 5 stable adults is enough for them to block out all the silence. We all aren't born with partners, but we all are born with family, Whether it be by blood or founded in unusual places ..

Can I just say how much I love how everyone in the cast of Our Flag Means Death (both seasons 1 and 2) is just HOT AS FUCK, but like in Queer and Non Standard ways.

It’s never too late to be you
Digital illustration of an older Black fem. They are striking a pose with their hands framing their face. They have a green hair scarf, thick black frame glasses with a dangling chain and are wearing a oversized rainbow wrap sweater. There’s text that reads, ‘it’s never too late to come out.’

There’s a myth that same gender loving/ gay/ queer couples over the age of 40 don’t exist or last.
This is a fallacy.
In my teens and 20s I frequently met many couples who were in their 40s, 50s, 60s and older.
They had Polaroids , films, and letters detailing their dating, courting, relationships and “marriage “.
I had the distinct pleasure breaking bread with these couples and hearing how they dealt with their relationship(s) during prohibition and Jim Crow laws, the civil rights and Black Power movements, womens rights , gay rights and much more. They often had pictures of famous entertainers with his/her same sex partner(s) who lived double lives.
Some lived OUT and didn’t give a damn , while others had the same “roommate “ for decades as far as their families were concerned, and others moved across the country to live their truth. There were others who married a lesbian sometimes having children: all to throw off suspicion.
It’s called survival.
In the throws of the AIDS crisis many were denied access to their dying or deceased partner’s property or home usually at the hands of their “in-laws” , others were crafty enough to place court papers establishing ownership or naming a mutual friend as the proprietor of their home and savings.
Being older and LGBTQ is not always sad and unfortunate, but a myriad of life experiences.
What’s frustrating is the lack of pics available on many sites showing couples in their 40s and up.
We Exist as elders , teachers, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts….

As a 30yo I look at other millennials on the internet and I really don’t feel like we give off the same vibes as 30yo people I saw growing up. Every one of us in fandom retains the vibes of like idk. Youth? But maybe it’s just cause we know life is to be enjoyed, so we don’t grow out of our interests like they did. All the 30yo I knew growing up were boring and had no time for hobbies. And that seems like the worst kind of life to live.

Do you know why gaia & ethan were fighting did they date?
Apparently they just hook up
maneskinstuff once posted she was wearing his purple blouse, but for months, I don't think it's the same blouse
(I like to analyze things, oh ok)
Ethan has a button on his, and she doesn't, and towards the end, the sleeve looks different than his in the photo but it's eerie similar so that it might be the same
Tumblr media
Paparazzi pictures of them came out, and she said on Instagram stories she was single a few days later (probably was lying, lol)
Months later, we didn't hear anything until she passive aggressive shading him on twitter (messy, she knew fans followed her) and on Instagram stories
To sum it up, 29-30 years old (Janis is 24, and Gaia is obviously way older than her) want to get with the 21-year-old. Maybe he called it off after paparazzi pictures came out, or it ended terribly. She held in some resentment for months and finally let it all out.
