I think it's a shame that English doesn't have two ways of saying "I love you". In German you can say "Ich liebe dich" which has a more romantic connotation or "Ich habe dich lieb" which usually refers to a more platonic love. I've only ever said "Ich habe dich lieb" to my mum and friends for example. Being aroace sometimes means I don't feel like saying "I love you" conveys how I feel about the people I like. "Ich habe dich lieb" however would. When I say "I love you" about celebrities, I never mean that I want to be romantically involved with them, but the feeling is platonic and I'd love to be their friend and spend time with them, talk to them etc. And "Ich habe dich lieb" would perfectly portray that feeling.

Am I the only one who loves the near lack of romance in One Piece?

Which is one of the reasons I was extremely disappointed when they made Usopp in love with Kaya in the live action series. I was extremely disappointed with the live action of OP in general, but that's a story for another day... But just, it went from a story about friendship and deep (platonic) connections, to something cliché and, in my view, boring and reductive.

Not to mention the fact that Luffy, Nami and Zoro are probably all very much aroace (Luffy almost certainly) but these 3 are usually the most shipped and sexualized characters in the fandom.

Sorry, just using aromantic spectrum awareness week to rant about something that has been bothering me about one of my favourite animes. Maybe I'll finally find someone who gets it...

i want ppl to start using platonic like how they do romantic

"Your so sweet! Thats so platonic of you!" And not have it be like "OH YA NOO, were definitely not romantic, that'd be gross" but in a way of like, genuine apritiation and sweetness of how stuff like "thats so romantic" sounds <2

So I realise I've never really explored Alastor and Lucifer's relationship. The platonic kind.

Like look at these two, putting aside their rivalry, and tell me they wouldn't gossip together like no tomorrow

The moment i saw this frame i knew there was gossip buddy potential. Look at them. You got straight up bitchy "She’s such a rat" stare and the condescending "I haven't seen an outfit like that since the great depression and i think it just gave me depression" eyebrow quirk. They’re gossip buddies. If they didn't hate each other.

Maybe I'm delusional, but let me be delusional in peace.

For the past few weeks I've been wanting to write a fic about it. I soon realised "wait a minute wtf is stopping me" hence why I made this post

To announce

*drumroll 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁*

I'll be writing a fic about it yayyy

No title yet, and it’s still in it’s basic drafts. In fact, I've written the second chapter already, but not the first. Uhh, my excuse? I was feeling a lil bit silly. Anger and sadness are very strong motivators. How long will this take? Maybe a day. Maybe two. Maybe a month. Hell if I know.

Anywho there's your update folks be ready! It has angst! Because why wouldn't it??

Poll for fun?

Favourite screenshots from the song: (IM MAD NO ONE REALISED ALASTOR LITERALLY USED HIS HIPS TO KICK LUCIFER OUT OF FRAME ITS SO FUNNY)

Psst! Have you found this randomly on your page? Cool! Hi! Thanks for sticking around till the end. If you're interested, please check out my ao3!! My user there is the same as my user here on tumblr, and I write a lot of cool stuff! Check it out!! I'm funny!!

Probably gonna write something for 2024 because it'll be a 1 year since I've joined the community and therefore created this very askblog. And I've created two blogs already (where one is for multiple stories rather than one) and I've no time to answer everything at once.

This year has many downs for me, but it has many ups too. And thanks to being positive by watching entertaining videos and of course seeing content from artists and writers (including from ask bloggers).

I'm gonna thanking those people below:

Nori (@harmonia-university) - big thank you for being an inspiration for my blogs. If it wasn't you, there's no way I could create the characters, like the Virbank Baddies, Wil, etc. And of course thanks for posting silly comics about the university life, although there some serious content recently, like the ongoing plot.

Fern (@book-of-legends) - big thank you for being a #1 fan of my blogs. I'm really happy that you were curious about my universe and my characters (especially Rimi and Noelle), and of course I'm curious about yours too.

Mikey (@askdeoxys) - big thank you for gathering the community here and of course being positive despite the negative things that happened in your life.

Migmog (@ask-the-royal-absol) - big thank you for Destino and for ruining everyone's days and making frenemies out of them (like with Rimi). /j /lh. But seriously, you are the awesome person. I loved to attend the drawing streams and hear your thoughts and stories.

Owli (@askvekpa) - big thank you for Lunch Birthday Bash and of course thank you for the silly characters, although you're now have more serious blogs. But with RATS!

Kuixotic (@asktheisle) - big thank you for sending positivity to everyone! And of course I can't wait to see more dragons for you in the year of the dragon. And of course Nat.

And of course OG and Mega (@askpokepals) - literally big TYSM for a unique world where humans and anthro mons live. I literally love your characters, like Ninasha and Skarla. They would be a good friends with Rimi and Wil respectively.

Also I'm thanking everyone that I haven't mentioned. But still I'm thanking them for being very awesome and for an awesome content they made.

I'll see you all in 2024!

The reason I like Alastor and I like reading smut of him is because, even tho I'm not asexual (possibly on the ace spectrum idk), I react just like him when people flirt with me, not because I'm not into sex, but because I'm touch averse

No joke, one time I ghosted a hook up because he wanted to cuddle afterwards. I have much less problems with sucking someone's dick than having them touch me for more than 3 seconds

The delimitation between "yes, I care for you greatly, you are one of my greatest friends and I will always be there for you" and "the idea of you touching me for prolonged periods of time doesn't cause me to recoil in disgust" might be subtle to those outside my brain, but important nonetheless

Update

Because I juggling the blogs, I'm gonna postpone The Dee Twins side story intro indefinitely, even if I loosely sketched it. I'll provide some updated within my blogs:

For this blog, Nate's Story might come back late April or early May depends how I feel. I might change the side story drastically again.

@ask-the-shiny-pokemons will back next week with the 1st anniversary surprise. Also I consider to join the Light of Unova's 200 Follower Event with Rimi and Noelle.

@ask-pokecats will be back in late March or early April.

There'll be more posts for @the-lumiose-goodies this week. Might do two or three this weekend depends how I feel.

Thank you everyone for understanding and I hope to see you all with the new content.

I really really hate being demiromantic.

I know that I'm capable of feeling attraction to people. I know that I can feel love. but it takes months to even a year (or multiple years) for those feelings to develop.

from what I've seen from alloromantic people, they experience attraction so much faster than I could ever. and it's frustrating seeing people fall for someone they just met while I'm stuck waiting.

the people I get crushes on are always close friends. that adds on the stress of absolutely ruining friendships because of my feelings.

I want someone to care abut me, and hold me, and love me. but it feels wrong to not have those feelings back for that person. of course it would feel nice, I would feel something, but it's not the same.

and the fact that I'm not asexual is just another thing that makes it scary to be intimate with someone. because I don't want to be used, that thought is terrifying.

I wish more media could drop the Sex=Romance and Romance=Sex trope, like it makes me so mad that I can't just have a bit of fun with a character in a game without suddenly being in a monogamous romantic relationship!

"why do you dislike romance so much?"

Maybe because it keeps being

Update

I decided to scrap this askblog for the following reasons:

Scenery: Need more complex scenery. I'm a sucker of making any maps and adding some elements to the exterior and interior backgrounds (don't really want to make them very bland). It is easier to stick with the existing scenery like for games.

Characters: I have 8 characters as a villagers plus additional few special ones that were planned for this blog. And because I have too many, it's harder to manage them. I trying to have at least 5-6 main characters or less for all of my stories.

Events: Because Animal Crossing has a plethora of events, I wouldn't put my blogs on hiatus and run the event for like week-two, or even month. Late Halloween event was run for so long. I'm not gonna say it's not fun at all, it is fun to interact with those people.

And of course universe: I stated that this blog is in the same universe as all my other askblogs, however, I'm thinking that it was not set in my universe at all, instead, it set in universe like Animal Crossing and Pokémon merged together.

Also about my characters: I'm promise they'll come back, but most likely they'll be a cameos to my other blogs.

I'm gonna archive everything to @eevee-crossing-archive and I will private all the stuff here. Apologies for anyone who sent me asks. I'm gonna archive them to in case if I'm gonna reboot it.

Also there'll be a new askblog in place of this, but with a little twist.

See you all here and thank you for reading my incredibly short-living blog.

tl;dr: I decide to scrap this blog due to lost interest of it and I'm archiving the blog posts. Also there'll be a new blog in place of this.

Anyways, enjoy!

Something I've been thinking a lot about these past few months - since my best friend is about to get married - is how my friends having relationships, getting married, having kids is going to impact our friendships and my life in relation to them and my future in comparison.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them and I'm sure we'll stay friends for a long time (hopefully forever), but I'm not a very social person, I'm an introvert and I'm not good at making friends so I really rely on the ones I have as my entire social circle, so to say. But I know that people have less time after they have kids for example and a good amount of their time is spent caring for them obviously. Seeing my friends starting their picture book future gets me anxious. It makes me question what will happen to me. Should I be interested in a relationship because I do enjoy the idea of spending lots of time with someone with the same interests as me? Should I be interested in a qpr to not be alone? Then at the same time I cannot imagine having to deal with a person 24/7.

So in the end seeing other people living out their romances is really making me question if maybe it's my fault that I'm gonna be alone because what if I'm not aro but just not putting enough effort in even though I've never even had a crush and don't feel comfortable with the idea of a relationship. It feels like it's gonna be: Be in a relationship or be alone eventually because my friends will have less and less time and will say that I can't understand their lives and problems because I'm not married, don't have kids etc.

[the-siren-in-your-fridge]

Being aroace and knowledgeable on attraction is one of the funniest things ever to me because I know a lot about stuff I don’t feel so I give great relationship advice (according to friends) but it’s not based on my personal experience. It’s like being a fish expert who can’t swim and has no desire to try like the irony is murdering me but I AM still a fish expert so sure??
