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.

Alternative Greysexual Flag

More info below the cut.

I've identified as greysexual off and on. I'm not asexual, but I'm not necessarily allosexual either, though I relate to aspects of both asexuality and allosexuality. I'm still debating whether the term "greysexual" is right for me, or whether I should just leave the "how" of my sexuality neutral/unlabeled, but I feel like greysexual is applicable.

Edit: I've decided that I'm primarily sticking with neu aro, but I'm greysexual if it's brought up. I resonate with greysexuality in a "not asexual, but not necessarily allosexual either" way. I engage with and relate to both communities, but neither feels entirely right. If I were forced to place myself into an ace-allosexual binary for whatever reason, I'd go with allosexual, but greysexual feels most accurate. My sexuality exists in its own grey area. As for which spectra I fall under, I'd say greysexual-spec first, allosexual-spec second, and ace-spec last. Preferably just neu aro though.

I like the common greysexual flag, but I feel like it represents a very specific version of greysexuality. Purple represents asexuality, grey represents a transition between asexuality and allosexuality, and white represents allosexuality. The flag conveys the experience of being asexual, then experiencing brief allosexuality, then going back to asexuality once again. I wanted to make something that felt more broad, and better encompassing of different greysexual experiences, including my own.

So, here's what I made:

Stripes get thinner towards the center to represent how it can be difficult to pin point where one falls on this spectrum, and how identities/experiences can blur together. You can think of this as a flag in which the stripes overlapped so much that they started to take up the same space.

The stripes are desaturated, representing greysexuality and the various "shades of grey" in the greysexual spectrum. This desaturation can also convey a sense of fuzziness, unclearness, or blurriness that some greysexuals experience.

Purple represents asexuality, and red/pink represents allosexuality. Some stripes are tinted with purple or red/pink to represent greysexual people who identify as ace-spec and/or allo-spec, respectively. Other stripes have no tint, representing greysexual people who identify as neither ace-spec nor allo-spec. The placement of these colors is not important to the symbolism; greysexuality is not a clean line from ace to allo.

I don't really expect people to use this flag, but you're welcome to if you wish! It's public domain, and credit is not needed.

Someone asked me recently why I liked Our Flag Means Death so much (read: hyperfixated).

Because the crew in the show represents the community i yearn for, where I am accepted for who I am and am not judged at all. Where there are open arms and smiles and laughter and no one is left out. Where the poorly-behaved asshole is given a chance for redemption and granted forgiveness.

Even the actors IRL give the impression they're a loving family to each other.

I love this show because it represents what I want and, for a little while during each episode, I can imagine that it includes me too.

I am genderfluid, gray-ace, in my 40's, and have a hard time hanging on to friends. I also have a nasty tendency to turn into a loud-mouthed jerk with no filter and use expletives like commas (any guesses to who my favorite OFMD pirate is?). I'm a writer that writes fanfics as a way to test ideas for what will become more unfinished original works. None of these things are easily accepted by those currently around me (including, unfortunately, my own partner).

But I feel like this is my community. The fellow fans that bond with me and a cast that makes me feel a little seen and accepted, even if I will never meet them.

I love this show because it shows me that what I want is out there, even if it is not mine. And thru fanfiction, fellow fans, and the various groups surrounding them, I can maybe reach just a little of what I need.

The word hiraeth means a longing for something you never had or never existed. It's the best word I can find for this.

Sorry for rambling and being odd (and probably psycho-creepy). Just feeling melancholy today.

current Ace level: thought the phrase "this widespread Body Part Fetish is so weird" and then remembered that there's word for what I was thinking of. The word is "sex".

“Oh, this is new,” the succubus said, tilting their head. Their perfect face gleamed with a demented, inhuman interest. “You see, usually, you humans are putty in my hands. And I’ve encountered a few who are immune to me. But you . . . you’re something different.” A smile snaked on their lips. “You’re struggling.”

The protagonist pressed back against the kitchen shelf – eyes wide, limbs trembling. They were not leaping into the succubus’s arms, but they couldn’t run for the door either. Some innate force was holding them back.

They’d been questioning lately, if they were grey-ace. What a hell of a way to have it confirmed.

“Come on, sweetness.” The succubus waltzed closer. “Just give in to me. You know you want to.” Their eyes were a gorgeous sky-after-sunset purple. The protagonist’s favorite color.

They had watched their friends fall, one after the other, to these monsters. None of them had even been able to put up a fight. And, now that the protagonist was cornered, they understood. Even with this newfound layer of protection, it was hard to look anywhere but those eyes.

They tried, fingers straining, to reach for the clay sugar jar on the shelf.

Two years ago, the succubi hordes had descended upon the world. Grotesque monsters hidden beneath a beautiful veneer, they seduced humans to breed their demonic offspring, or otherwise just to eat people’s souls. But really, they could do anything they wanted with the people under their control.

Including force them to reveal the location of the other survivors.

The succubus was right in front of them, now. “I’ll make it good for you, promise. Gentle.” They grinned. “Or rough. However you like.” They put a hand on the protagonist’s arm, making them half shiver, half flinch. “Just tell me where that human colony of yours is, and you can have all of me.”

“F-fuck,” it was hard to get the words out, “a cactus.”

The succubus grabbed the back of the protagonist’s head, and rammed their faces together in a kiss.

The protagonist’s mind flashed white, and for a second, they were sure they were gone.

Then they smashed the jar against the succubus’s head.

Still reeling, they tripped and stumbled over the creature’s body, and fled off into the wilderness.

---------------

A/N -- It’s kinda hard to write about succubi in a gender neutral way, since, in the mythology, succubi are female and incubi are male. It seems a little silly to me to make this distinction, especially when a lot of the lore basically portrays them as genderfluid shape-shifters. So, even though I used the gendered word “succubus” here, picture the character however you’d like

Wow so I’m finally drawing my main characters….

Meet my other boy, my soft starry sensitive soul. Dwennon expresses himself best through his music, and it’s rare to find him without an instrument of some sort in hand. Rn he’s jamming on some rooftop in the 90’s, doing his best Cobain impression. Prob dealing w his chronic depression. 🙃

I love my friends. All of them are either ace or otherwise queer, and we make such a good team. I feel like without them I would be far less able to be myself and be happy being aro/demi.

But sometimes it does hit me, like I’m neither Allosexual but I’m not completely ace. And then also the fact that I’ve only ever been sexual attracted to one person, who honestly made me feel pressured to like them back, so even that I’m not sure of. My libido is also high which makes everything worse.

But I’m safe and I’m happy, and I love my friends. All of them. Even if one of them thought Canada was under the US and Africa was an island and not a continent.

I know I'm ace, but I don't what type and don't care much to find out, because it's to many options and I don't how to feel about that. What do you think? Just questioning myself as usual

It's sometimes really hard to place someone who's on the asexuality spectrum under one particular label. Sometimes labels simply don't apply, maybe nothing fits quite right.

That's why I find the gray-ace term so beautiful - it can act as the catch-all, basically saying "I'm on the asexuality spectrum, but those detailed labels aren't for me."

🤍💜🖤

Always good to do some internal poking and questioning! Asking yourself "how do I operate" is the only way to write your own life manual. You're the only one who can write, own, and operate this manual. 🤣

Happy Ace Week!

[questioning-aspec-culture-is]

I have a question. Can someone identify as two asexualities? Both aegosexual and greysexual resonate with me, but is being both (grey-aegosexual???) a thing? Aego fits because I have sexual fantasies that don’t involve me and I enjoy innuendos and “fade to black”s in media. Grey fits because I’ve never self-pleasured and I greatly dislike the idea of being touched there ever but still have moments of slight sexual arousal, all my sexual fantasies are pg-13 above the waist sort of thing, and any outright sexual media (porn, smut) makes me so uncomfortable I feel sick to my stomach. I also know there’s something called sex repulsive, which I don’t fully understand? I don’t want to have sex, but I do love cuddles and hugs and being touched non-sexually a lot. I’m sorry for the long rambling ask. Happy pride! :)

happy pride to you too! let's ignore that it's no longer june

In answer to your question, yes. You can definitely identify using more than one a-spec label. There are no rules about how you can label yourself, and anyone who says so deserves to get a bowl of spaghetti thrown at them.

Sex-repulsed is an attitude towards sex which is part of a scale many asexual people use to describe their relationship with it. Sex favourable is when you like the idea of sex and would want to engage in it/enjoy engaging in it, sex indifferent is, well, indifference to the concept of sex - you neither like nor dislike it, and neither want nor particularly don't want to have it. Sex repulsed is the final step on the scale, and this is when you absolutely would not want to have sex and the very idea of sex may make you feel icky. You may not like hearing, thinking or reading about sex.
