"can i still be aro if i'm ____?"

"can i still be aro if i'm dating someone?"

"can i still be aro if i said _____ to someone?"

"can i still be aro if i feel ____?"

there's no "wrong" or "right" way to be aromantic, aromantic is a spectrum and it goes beyond by a lot so yes if your aromantic, it doesn't matter how you feel/act or do, if you know your aromantic. you are aromantic.

I have done what kinitopet fandom (probably) does not have but totally does (not) need... a CRIME AU! i am so sorry

Tw on poorly drawn guns, masks, scars, robbery police etc baisicly crime stuff

I have so much work why am i doing this... it is like 3 am...... aNYWAY---

More yapping and magnifyed parts under the cut

I was just literally sitting in the bus from uni and like "jeez can't imagine how those with full au-s abt tsp or kp, that must be so hard, i have one design and im already dying

And than i thought what au can i do for kinitopet

And here i am, 5 hours later with full ref-sheet and a little story idea in my head

Okay now to the au

It might be bad it might be okay-ish, well an okay-ish option is that they are like "Bad Guys"-ajesent group, you know, rob banks, skedadle with money, no killing, etc, all to make them redeamable, but, i mean.... they are horror charscters.... we all want our qute kinito but, u know...... he literally does not take "no" for an answer, just saying

So my idea is that maybe kinito does crime to get attentoin of that one detective, you know, "You" and does those "hello, you!" like he is talking to everyone while specifically naming You (((:

Aaand he is really in crime for that cat-n-mouse game, money are a bonus to do more crime with, he is just resl smart and wants to find soneone who is as intelligent as him and can catch him (or at least follow his clues)

Also they wear matching fake tatoos bc statistically most people are gonna notice a tatoo and they are gonna search you by it

And they have their secret normal lifes ofc bc why not

Sooooooo, i'll probably would never draw those guys again unless i guess y'all really like them, but in any case be free to take them and do whatev ya want, just tag/credit me (:

#kinitopet #kinitopet au #sam the sea anemone #kinito the axolotl #jade the jellyfish #i sexualized both men in kinitopet and what you have done in your life #i am not sorry #sam literally wears men version of bikini armor plate that protects n o t h i n g #kp brainrot so much my gray matter is dripping from my ears #i wanna punch myself in the face #btw i am still rigging that model #so do not worry. i'll get there #kinito fanart #btw i have no idea why new york #just wanna to make him say “hello new york”#also cool screens on buildings #perfect for announcing crime >:)#kinitopet crime au #prosto cup of art

Don't mind me getting on my soapbox for a moment... a lot of this musing is admittedly for the sake of my own processing of this topic, re: aroaceness. Read at your own peril! <3

I'm generally a very "ship and let ship" kind of person, but I think I would definitely append a little caveat of, like, "As long as you're not being actively invalidating and detrimental to others" to that. Which is a delightfully vague statement that can be interpreted practically any way, I know, hahaha.

In the case of this particular post I've just been thinking about how, like... seeing an aroace character like Alastor get written into dozens upon dozens of PWPs (including ones that don't even touch on the subject of his aceness at all) is really not something that I personally find to be hurtful or offensive. It's just smut for the sake of smut, of a character people want to see awful, sexy things done to (or doing). Valid! I vibe with you! More people should just write the PWPs they want to see in the world!

But on the other hand, I've several times seen this very particular type of art (usually it's a comic, but admittedly I haven't been reading very many Hazbin Hotel fics so maybe it's there, too) where Alastor is slotted into the "methinks the lady doth protest too much" trope. As in, he's expressing strong feelings about a character (usually Vox or Lucifer, sometimes Angel Dust) to someone, probably Rosie, and the person he's confiding to is some variant of, "Oh, silly Alastor, you're obviously in love!" And then he denies it, says that the very idea disgusts him, and the character titters to themselves about how he's so naive in the matters of romance or whatever.

And it's, like.

The "strong feelings" in question are almost always frustration/annoyance/disgust, and him being like, "Nnnno, I just hate his person" is treated like a silly and naive misunderstanding of his own feelings because obviously he's in love. Please imagine that Alastor was a female character who was established to be a lesbian. Now examine how that suddenly makes this scene feel.

(Also, Rosie being the go-to for this is a little frustrating when she's the one who, in canon, explicitly says that she wouldn't make that assumption of him.)

There's such a chasm of difference between how I see people wanting to ship Alastor for reasons of "I just want to!" vs folks who engage with him being aroace in ways that are infantilizing and invalidating. There are so many people out there - not just aro/ace people, but anyone who's not exclusively into the standard type of person they should be into at the time society deems they should be into them, which is most queer people and even many cishet folks - that have been told that exact kind of thing in real life. It reads like something out of a compulsory heterosexuality guidebook, and it actively makes it harder to leave the closet or even realize that you're in one at all.

So I guess it just feels frustrating to see it get made into a punchline, especially by folks who are shipping queer ships. I genuinely can't wait until fandom society advances to the point of consistently treating aro/acespec folks as queer instead of Queer Lite (TM), because let me tell you, ime the comphet experience and the amato/allonormativity experience are in fact nigh-identical except for how they're treated within online communities. There's a reason the pan -> gay -> ace pipeline is a thing.

But, hey! We're already doing way better than we were in 2012!

What the fuck even is sexual attraction. Like what am i even trying to parce here. Has the one singular event of ‘wow i might be attracted to this person actually’ ive experienced been genuine sexual attraction or am i just being emotionally attached to my close friends again. Like how many times do i have to think that about this person before it starts tipping into probably being true

I understand that human experience does not fit into neatly divided boxes and i get that its a good thing but it would be soooo much fucking easier if i could just read a checklist and get told if im ace or gray or demi or whatever the fuck is going on with this whole mess

Its been literal years. The entirety of figuring out where i am in regards of gender and romantic shit took mere months, and its been over three FUCKING years. Simply is not fair

The worst part is im not comfortable with just slapping an ‘acespec’ on there and going, no, because i dont care about the actual label, i just want to understand how my own fucking emotions work >:/

Catch me desperately clinging to ‘non-sam aro’ like a lifeline so i dont have to figure out how my sexuality works ever

Hunger Games characters and my interpretation of their Enneagram type (explained by Sleeping at Last's Enneagram songs)

Sejanus-"One" I, I want to sing a song worth singing / I'll write an anthem worth repeating

Peeta-"Two" I just want to love you, to love you, to love you well / I just want to learn how, somehow, to be loved myself

Finnick-"Three" It's so exhausting on this silver screen / Where I play the role of anyone but me

Lucy Gray-"Four" Flashlight in hand, determined to find / Authenticity only poetry could even begin / To try to describe

Beetee-"Five" I want to watch the universe expand / I want to break it into pieces small enough to understand / And put it all back together again

Katniss-"Six" I want to take shelter, but I'm ready, ready to fight / Somewhere in the middle, I feel a little paralyzed

Haymitch-"Six" Is it courage or faith / To show up every day?

Delly-"Seven" I'll find the silver lining / No matter what the price

Gale-"Eight" I was just a kid who grew up strong enough / To pick this armor up / And suddenly it fit

Johanna-"Eight" Now you won't see all that I have to lose / And all I've lost in the fight to protect it

Prim-"Nine" It looks like empathy / To understand all sides / But I’m just trying to find myself / Through someone else’s eyes.

Snow-"One" but he doesn't get Sleeping at Last he doesn't deserve it.

Repulhypersexy

[PT: Repulhypersexy /END PT]

An asexual label for asexuals that are hypersexual and repulsed(apothisexual) at the same time, it can be difficult to understand your sexuality for that reason. The person might have sexual attraction only to kinks, and repulsed for everything else, can feel disgust and strong attraction at the same time, etc.

This label is for every repulsed hypersexual, not only by trauma but due bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia etc.

loving the mpreg asks. i think it would be kinda cool, whether it’s sexy or not, because of the long standing tradition that exists regarding pregnancy and body horror, and for genderqueer characters that can be explored in many different ways!

damn i’m really excited for a&m

-🫀

Yeah!! In all seriousness, A&M explores body horror and, specifically, pregnancy as body horror — for the women characters and for one angel character (who explicitly identifies with manhood).

It's meant to be an element of horror and trauma, but I'm not going to pretend like it's not a little fun to joke about. And it's been really really interesting to write! I'm incredibly happy with it! I said a while ago that I figured ABM would be a standalone if it were traditionally published because I feared publishers wouldn't let me publish a book that's so uncomfortably genderqueer (especially if it's already quite problematic — Satan and Michael are gay in it)

I'm really glad I was able to self-publish so I can both continue Michael x Lucifer's story and get really strange about angel gender! It makes me very happy :)

#all jokes aside — I'm glad to be able to write this book very much #its deeply uncomfortable at times ! i love it.l #and for as body-horror-y as the pregnancy is depicted — horror and sexualization are not really opposites are they #weird gray area i think #mine #ask

the art in idw sonic is like objectively good in terms of how well its drawn but also it feels a little too on model sometimes like i kinda wish they would experiment with art styles more. archie was basically doing whatever the hell they wanted in the art department and yeah some of the results of that were bad but others were really charming and cute to me despite not being what youd picture in your head when you think of official sonic art styles. does anyone get what i mean

#well obviously there should be some sort of guidelines to whats acceptable and what isnt #like the way certain archie artists would draw characters like sally and bunnie and rouge #in a really uncomfortably sexualized way that just made them look like humans with sonic character heads #while drawing most other characters with normal sonic character body types. dont allow stuff like that #i mean stuff like jon gray's art from archie sonic where he would get super expressive and exaggerated with it #or the art styles that were kind of anime-esque things like that

My friend, who I was working with last week, is really lovely, but absolutely hopeless with pronouns. Because we've known each other so long he struggles to see me as anything but male and he seemed surprised that most people now see me as a woman. Though he always gets my name right, he constantly referred to me as 'he' last time we worked together — much to our customers' confusion, because most of them instinctively referred to me as 'she'! One customer who I had met a few times before didn't even recognise me and thought I was a cis woman! Massive gender euphoria.

I’m Arospec in a complicated way and acespec in an even more complicated way and I wish someday we could see more characters who aren’t just aroace, but on the spectrums in their own unique way, like so many of us are.

Are you...

Greyromantic describes those who experience romantic attraction with a lesser frequency, or with a lesser intensity, than would be considered average for an alloromantic person.
