Having been so focused since at least ten years old (I’m almost 23 now) on seeing this band, how much I’ve listened to them, how many emotions and memories are tied to them
I was sobbing though the whole thing.
FINALLY seeing them, hearing them. In the SAME ROOM. They’ve been with me through so much and now I get to finally see them. I don’t even care that I had shitty seats although I did want to be up close, I wish I had enough money for pit tickets. I was jumping out of my skin jsut having to sit there. . Hit with so many memories and emotions, realizations.
Sad that certain people weren’t there with me that I wanted to be there desperately. But at the end of the day I made it and they didn’t. Sad that half my loved ones are dead and I can’t enjoy the band without thinking about how they’re fucking dead. But I made it. I didn’t think I’d live to see the day, truly.
After that on the five hour drive back home, the car blew a tire about three hours out. Had to sleep in the car for a few hours and wait for help from town to get us, take us down there with tires, and go back. I almost Didn’t make it to my lamb of god concert. But I got to see them right on time. A lot of bad things happened along the way but it was all worth it. And I’ve lived through worse.
I just can’t believe this is real.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.

Even after all this time and awareness, it feels like asexuality is still not treated like a proper sexuality. Recently had a girl tell me that she was at a place where she ‘felt so asexual’ because all the other girls were so beautiful and guys were ignoring her because of it. She didn’t know I was asexual and I didn’t take offence (I know she didn't meant it in a malicious way) but it does feel uncomfortable that people are using ‘asexual’ in lieu of ‘unattractive' or 'lacking sexual appeal.' It's really giving 90's/early 2000's slang of using 'gay' to mean 'lame.' Even shows like Brooklyn 99 which took immense pride in being progressive with their comedy, had an episode where one of the characters says "Oh, and I'm sorry if we implied you're both asexual nerds who can only be friends with service animals."
I have mentioned this before also, when I talked about how I feel like people are more comfortable erasing the identities of canonical aro/ace characters in media but act like it's unacceptable with other sexualities... but it does feel like asexuality (and aromanticism tbh) are still not considered 'real' sexualities. In the case of shipping fictional characters, I understand there is nuance to that issue and so don't want to get into it, but it does kinda add to my point.
Why is it that people treat asexuality like it's not a sexuality? Why is it that when I come out to people I'm met with insistence that I'm wrong about my sexuality, that I'm 'self diagnosing' (it's not a medical condition), that I'm probably 'just inexperienced' or haven't 'met the right person' or have a hormone issue? Why can't people just accept that it's a sexuality like any other??
