y'know, one thing i don't see get talked about much in regards to asexuality is how it feels to never be 'sexually motivated' by anything
and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general
sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever
casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting
it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.
sex is worthless to me
i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse
and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not
i think the barrier between aces & allos is actually even deeper than it seems on the surface at times, because it's more than just the grating expectation that everyone must want to 'settle down' and have kids, it's also the fact that the majority of the world is sort of 'in' on a joke that aces will never truly be a part of

since tomorrow is international asexuality day
shoutout to sex-favorable aces, sex-neutral aces, and sex-repulsed aces. shoutout to demis, grays, cupios, frays, and everyone else in that gray area of the asexual spectrum. shoutout to aces who are still in the closet, aces who are feeling impostor syndrome about their identity, and aces who are out and proud. shoutout to aromantic aces and romantic aces; homo and hetero and bi and pan aces and more. cis aces, trans aces, nonbinary aces...
all flavors of aces have my respect. you all are valid and you all deserve respect.

thinking about how the narumitsu dynamic hinges quite completely on the mutual trust phoenix and miles develop and share, and how trust is the thing that gets them through SO many trials and tribulations (reference intended), it gets them through everything significant from the start; miles working with phoenix for the first time in turnabout samurai, phoenix having complete faith in miles during the dl-6 debacle, having that trust shattered so completely when miles leaves, miles pretty much thrusting his services onto phoenix so that they can rescue maya in farewell, my turnabout without a second thought - their journey together is based around trust and faith that the other will BE there to help no matter what. and thinking about how contrarily, krisnix hinges on the complete absence of said trust. they really are on completely separate ends of the healthy dynamic spectrum huh? many thoughts.

I've been feeling so much emotion lately about these things that I did this: Mir with the asexual flag, look at him go!!
And I made a lot of drafts of the text that I would like to write, because this is a post with my set of thoughts, so-
I recently took random quizzes and saw that the character was headcanoned as an aroace, although before that I had seen only bisexual headcanons.
Oh fuck, this made me so happy that I even wondered why..why if it’s important to me, I can’t talk about it on my damn territory. Allonormativity has been burning me out for as long as I can remember, it has led me to negative points in my life, I don’t like it.
So I have to clarify: All fandom/OC content here is asexual/aromantic (platonic, in general). I have no idea why it’s hard for me to talk about this, but I need to talk about this, because otherwise I start to hate what I do, and that’s terrible. What's the point of wasting time and effort on a piece of art that I can't even talk honestly about? End of statement.

God loves me. He likes me. He enjoys me. I’m his favorite! And here’s the thing: so. are. you! Think about the disciple John calling himself the one who Jesus loved. He wasn’t being arrogant, he was realizing the truth of who God was/is/will always be! God doesn’t just begrudgingly love you and ‘put up with you’ like an earthly parent. He cherishes you. He loves you like a groom loves his bride. You know those photos/videos of the groom overwhelmed with emotion as his bride comes down the aisle: that’s Jesus when you come to Him!
All my life I’ve heard the phrase “I love you, but i don’t have to like you” or “I love you, but i don’t like you right now”. This is lowly, barely there love. This isn’t real love. BUT MY GOD IS LOVE. God sees the depths of your soul, the ugliest parts, and still smiles like an eager groom awaiting his bride.
You’re cherished, beloved. Live in that freedom.
