this is only vaguely related to my last ask but it got me thinking again how much i don't like the type of scrutiny that some people engage with when it comes to headcanons. don't get me wrong, there is plenty of headcanons that i despite when they appear in a particular context because they clearly come from a place of total ignorance and sometimes even borderline malice; and there are ways of writing about characters that are very obviously rooted in reactionary attitudes. but i have also seen situations in which people of specific ethnicities were told they were not supposed to hc a character to be said ethnicity because of the classist implications. i have seen people saying that headcanoning a particular character to be trans is too stereotypical and that it makes them "sick." i've seen people annoyed about characters being a particular religion because "there's another character who was said to be that religion before" (shocking and upsetting to some americans especially: religions are real and usually have more than one follower so they don't have to be assigned to a single character per title as their token.) and idk i think we should all pause for a moment and remember that the pieces of identity that people assign their favourite characters are often their own. there are ways to reclaim these cliches too. it's a matter of intention. people often read themselves into their beloved pieces of art. and maybe it does not always create the truest image of the author's intention nor a revolutionary picture of minority rep, but no one claims it does.

#a matter that always gives me a headache is how people read my post about the issue of jason being portrayed as psychotic #as me saying he should never be portrayed as psychotic #when what i meant was that psychosis should not be associated with violence the way it was in these comics. #i write jason psychotic sometimes. #i also write jason queer in all the possible ways. he's a trans guy he's a woman he's aroace he's gay etc. #i also do write him in a way that suggests he has at least a cultural link to eastern europe. #and very explicitly catholic. as i do write quite a lot of characters. most notably dick #all things that could be read as extremely inflammatory and stereotypical #but that are ultimately pieces of me or my loved ones. #i think fanfiction and creative interpretation are a work of love in more way than one #as i said: in a sense you do not only read the material but also read yourself into it. #and there has to be careful consideration when it comes to it at times. #to make sure there is still engagement with the source that makes it worthwhile #but i don't think it's fair to tell people these experiences are inappropriate for these contexts. #it's another thing if devin grayson makes dick romani #it's another thing if a person of a particular id & experience wishes to explore it in fanwork #sorry idk. love wins.

the thing abt the term "帥t" is that yeah, it pretty much just translates to butch, and no, I would not describe myself as butch (bc I'm not lesbian), but 帥t is still, like. the best description of my gender that exists. I'm butch but only within a chinese cultural context

#sexuality labels rly mean nothing to me as someone who's kinda sorta mostly aroace #but 帥t is as much a description of gender presentation as of sexuality. yk. #it's normal for t's to bind/get top surgery/etc. and not be considered nonbinary or trans at all. just butch. #even though transness does exist as a concept in modern chinese culture. obviously. #and ppl play with the idea of straight women being attracted to t's too?? even though t's r still generally considered women #idk man. yes here in the US I'm nonbinary and I'm happy w that. but back in taiwan I'm butch! and I'm happy w that too! #narcissus's echoes

do any other queer poc kinda feel fake sometimes because you internalized queerness as a White People Thing

#i hardly know any queer people that aren't white #it can be kinda isolating. i know my parents definitely view it as a stupid white people thing #but they view anyone who isn't indian as stupid. #anyway. it feels like im not supposed to be trans and aroace and gay. like it wasn't meant for me even though it's for everyone #like im just trying to assimilate further into western culture because ive never seen queerness outside of it #lgbt #lgbtq #queer #queer poc

Autistic aroace genderqueer writer culture is making all your characters aroace nd/autistic and/or genderqueer/trans. Whether by accident or not, they all end up that way lol.

I can't be friends with ppl who only befriend others in the hopes of that person being a potential romantic partner.

I remember when the overwhelming pressure of a due date or exam week would generate enought anxiety to get me to do everything I had to and now I just sit in front of my desk wallowing in misery with the same amount of anxiety but an incredibly debilitating amount of executive disfunction that doesn't allow me to get to work until the same day I have to submit something or do an exam.

I really did peak before 11 and from then on it has been a downwards slope of me driving myself to burn out over neglecting myself, academic perfectionism and crippling amounts of untreated issues (as well as a very likely undiagnosed autism).

I feel like part of the reason I feel so uneasy towards sex and romance is because people are so weird about it. For example the recent and worrying rise in misogynistic rhetoric ("alpha male" crap,) restrictions placed on reproductive rights, possible restrictions placed on marriages too, purity culture, inadequate sex ed, porn, monogamous culture, heteronormativity, cisnormativity, amatonormativity, amongst tons of other things...

Honestly all these things make me so depressed and hopeless. I'm witnessing regression in real time and it's scary. Especially scary as a acearo nonbinary adult who'd love to have procedures done to make my body nicer for me to live in.

The future seems bleak, bleaker than it already was for me. Worst of all I have no power to change anything. It's so frustrating. Reality sucks.

Sorry for such a depressing post, I just had to get some of this off my chest.

Things that make me happy as an aroace person, part 1:

Hugs.

Give me hugs. All the time.

I want them all the time.

Bonus points if you play with my hair while giving me hugs.
