fwb update: he found a gf, so he's done with our "benefits." he also doesn't message as often now... we're still friends, but my priority in his life definitely dropped. he also insinuated that he thought I wouldn't have any reaction to this change at all because I'm aro.

I'm still a fucking person with emotions!

like yeah, I don't care that he has a gf, and I don't particularly care if he wants to keep things platonic now. but there's absolutely a shift in dynamic that's somewhat uncomfortable. hell, being aro is it's own type of bother atm since I know I'll always be "lesser" than a romantic partner. plus, I'm romance repulsed. I've explained that I don't want to have romance-focused conversations, but I honestly don't expect him to respect those boundaries. and if he does continue to overstep those boundaries... I'll probably stop hanging with him.

I just can't force myself to feign interest in romo conversations. I can't do that to myself again.

there's also the situation of having to find a new fwb, but I think I'll postpone that for now. I def want my next fwb to be alloaro, too. but fuck, how in the world do I find another alloaro irl? not to mention someone I get along with?? and that is looking for the same thing???

TLDR: this alloaro is not currently getting bitches :(

[our-arospec-experience]

i became really close friends with somebody and had this really intense feeling where i just wanted to be around him all the time, and i viewed him differently than my other friends. at first i thought it was a crush but whenever i thought about what it would be like to be in a relationship i got uncomfortable and ignored it. eventually i found out he liked me and for some reason i gaslit myself into thinking i liked him back, probably because subconsciously i just didnt wanna lose him or ruin our bond, so we dated for a bit. in the beginning it was fine, to me it kinda felt like "friendship+", like i now had a reason to view him differently from my other friends, but i was getting more and more uncomfortable interacting with him romantically and felt like i was lying to him, and realised that he probably didnt just view it as "friendship+" like i did, so i broke up with him and told him what was going on (i did a shit job explaining it because i didnt really understand my own emotions at the time and i feel terrible). he was okay with it and was fine staying friends, but honestly i thought that he secretly hated me for it so i kinda isolated myself from him and now we dont act like we used to, i still feel terrible about ruining everything, i wish i just knew about myself before i met him. its so weird having a strong platonic connection with someone without the words to describe it and mistaking it for romantic attraction :( it makes me think that aromanticism is SO much more common than people think but not many people realise they just arent romantically attracted to someone until they get told about aromanticism, and then theyre like "woah wait thats what ive been feeling my whole life". it should be talked about way more

[selfshippingtrinity]

Imagine your f/o writing a love letter to you. What does it say? Will your f/o write something creative and poetic or will a compliment and an 'I love you y/n' be good enough? Will there be some sort of gift attached to the note like a piece of candy or a flower or something? What if the gift attached isn't a traditionally romantic gift or something and instead it's something like a breadstick or a stim toy you've always wanted?

What if they can't write a formal letter on a piece of paper? What if instead they send you a text? Or maybe they spam you with paragraph after paragraph trying to tell you how much you mean to them? What if they send you a voice message of them giggling in between words trying to come up with the best way to tell you how they feel while you can surely tell from the other end of the screen how much they're blushing as they speak? What if they haven't asked you out yet and this is how they confess?

I have a problem and can't access my fake account, so I will let you guys know if I need to make a new one

But other than that, the plan seems to be going well and I'm somewhat relieved as of now

My friend irl is 100% going along with and even helping fake evidence to pin blames on the bitch named KJ

Just so you guys can know the full context of that, last week KJ tried to spread a rumour that my bf was cheating on me, so i have a grudge against her and i hate her (she's always been rude and really upset my bf). So this week when my friend irl told on me sending her snapchat messages when I was having a mental breakdown and wanting to die, then proceeding to get high off of painkillers, and I got into all of this shit because of that, she felt really bad because she didn't intend for it to go this far. She was just really really worried about me (but I can't help but be mad at her, but not take it out on her ofc cuz she's bending hell to help me rn)

So even though the counselor and CPS (which the school called) know that my friend reported it and the messages were real, the principal and other staff aren't aware of who reported me..or that there are messages. Although we are pretty sure that with my principal looking into it, he'll find out my friend reported me- so we're lying to say that KJ faked SnapChat messages and told her to concern her and get her to start drama with the office as revenge for me snitching and getting her a Friday school.

But during all of this, my father called the school to know who called CPS, and the principal ended up spilling about me being LGBTQ and having a trans bf, so I need to cover up two huge things here that can fuck me over. My home life would be a living hell and I'd kill myself to not live in the environment where my father knows I'm LGBTQ, and he wouldn't let me attend a vocational school i wanna go to if my bf went to it, so he'd be uining my only hopes of having some form of a future. So it'd be useless

And as of today, I had a talk to the principal where I had to be really transphobic about my bf so I can appeal to his ideologies and get by convincing him I wasn't gay so he'd convey it back to my father. Since I'd previously told him KJ 'started a rumour about me and my friend' (that being the cheating rumour) i decided to utilise that fact to my advantage by saying the rumour was us dating, and that it wasn't true. I had to deadname and misgender my bf the whole time and I felt awful..but he believed me and that's what matters

I told the principal about the 'hunch it was KJ who started this' and she was called to the office at one point. She came back in guitar class and she almost seemed like she was crying?..but the look on her face and the way she stared at me read that..she was pissed. So I started to play 'Ode to Joy' really loudly on my guitar as she walked past, then a smiled when she looked away.

She kept looking over at me, and didn't even play guitar but instead was on her computer the whole class. She always gave me this dirty fucking look.

She kind of did ask me to throw her under twenty buses when she fucked me over before, and she's my only logical blame since it'd make sense for her to do something like this

I got my bf to delete some emails we've sent to each other so our lazy ass principal won't find em (of me comforting him about our relationship over the cheating rumour), and now we can't be out at school (atleast until my father and his chatting chills out). Cuz the principal wants me to stop being so close to him, and will report back to my father with any shit we do together.

So we're tryna get our friend to sit with us in lunch more so it dont look like us watching our show at lunch is a romantic thing

And I lost a part to my wired ear buds we were sharing (and it's kind of awkward with the wire) so since I had a shit ton of money on me today and went out to the mall (and spent 100 fucking dollars), I stopped by another store and bought some wireless earbuds and a case

So I spent like 130-140$ plus gave my friend 60$ to buy me a phone, which she will give me the change to a 50$ (+tax) phone on Monday.

Also same friend got me a bag where I shoved a lot of my gay and illegal items in so the principal won't see the gay magnets in my locker, nor will CPS find it (since they said they'd report it to my parents), and I definitely don't want CPS finding my illegal shit (vape, cigarettes + lighter, and painkillers I abuse).

So as of right now, the plan is doing fine. I'm not going to speak ahead of time, cuz my room is still going to be looked through and all..but there's a slim chance that CPS will just drop the case and not return. But that's also a call for a miracle. However if CPS were to fuck off, then this whole situation would subside and everything would be fine

I just hope they'll fucking drop it

What If We Kissed... (A TTRPG)

Half of the games I design are designed by accident. I wake up at 2 AM, go into a feral frenzy, gnaw on the keyboard, and there---unfortunately---is a first draft.

What If We Kissed... , however, is a rare example of a game that I actively fought to avoid designing.

What If We Kissed... is a game engine that's built for indulgence. What does this mean? It means that in conventional games you spend a lot of time trying to push away things you don't want to happen to your character. In What If We Kissed... , you declare what you want to happen to your character and then everyone works towards that.

There's an obvious application for What If We Kissed... , but the system can also be used to run horror games, adventure games, or other genres as long as the priorities are changed from "what do I want to avoid" to "what do I want".

The art and text in the book are tame, but the reason I fought so hard to not write What If We Kissed... is because I am *not* qualified to write a spicy ttrpg, and What If We Kissed... is definitely a spicy ttrpg. It first started nagging at my brain with a thought about how game systems often aren't sure how to navigate spicy content. Lines And Veils tech exists to downplay it, PBtA's Sex Moves turn it into drama, and some games are so combat-oriented that they kinda mechanically conceive it as combat. And thinking about this naturally led to "well, how would I solve this design problem," which naturally led to "oh no I think I've solved the design problem."

I originally posted my idea for What If We Kissed...'s mechanical framework on twitter, thinking that at least I'd make all of the design theory someone else's problem, but then there was enthusiasm for it, and weeks later I found myself at 2 AM gnawing on the keyboard and writing the game.

Anyway, I hope people like it / it's useful to someone / it advances ttrpg tech in some way.

I have now published the dang thing, it's out of my system, and I can be at peace.

[our-arospec-experience]

My aromantic experience is being SHOCKED when people date in real life. I'm sorry, no, that's for TV and fanfiction. Not a real thing I refuse to believe it. And then for a while after I remember I get so irrationally angry at romance media bc all I can think is "people actually do this shit? gross"

I've sent a fair few asks before so... sign off? -🏈

[writingquestionsanswered]

How exactly would one define “sexual tension”? What exactly is it and how do I write it?

Sexual Tension & How to Write It

What is Sexual Tension?

Sexual tension occurs when two people experience sexual desire for one another, but are unable to immediately act upon that desire. To put it another way, you know that moment when this happens:

Sexual tension is what happens when that *can't* happen. When both characters *want* to do that, but they can't for some reason... Like, maybe they're friends and aren't sure the other person is into them like that, or maybe they work together and interoffice romance is frowned upon. Maybe one is a prince and the other is a kitchen maid, or maybe they're working together on a community project and don't get along--or so they think... Deep down inside, they want to rip each other's clothes off and go to town, they just can't... whatever the reason.

What Does Sexual Tension Look Like?

Sexual tension looks like desire... hot desire... but often with a bit of awkwardness, nervousness, frustration, sadness, and even anger mixed in. It all depends on the relationship between the characters and what's keeping them apart.

How to Write Sexual Tension

Like any convincing, swoon-worthy romantic scenes, sexual tension first requires the creation of a bond, followed by romantic chemistry. First and foremost, there needs to be some sort of acquaintanceship or friendship. The reader needs to see that these two like each other, even if they don't get along on the surface, and that they have things in common and are interested in one another. The bond needs to strengthen, with them getting to know each other, trust one another, and care about each other. While all this is going on, they're starting to secretly feel romantically interested in one another... and feeling a sexual attraction... that urge to tear each other's clothes off and fall into bed together. But since they can't do that, all that's left over are these lingering looks, longing touches, knowing smiles, suggestive flirting, and just generally enjoying each other in every way that's possible without actually consummating their desire for one another.

I hope that helps!

HEADS UP SEVEN UP!

i was tagged by @onomatopiya (tyyy sm <3) and the last seven lines i wrote are from the judge and calliope oneshot (which is getting DANGEROUSLY close to cracking 6000 words. lesbian devotion complex win ig)

But Judge is kissing her. She is kissing her soft and tender and slow like she is something precious to hold, treasure, have even though all he’s ever deserved is her tearing him apart with her teeth. Instead she cards a hand through his hair, smiles against his lips, touches her like a lovely thing which means I like you and I want you here with me because I think it’s good and I think you can be good. Because I like you. Because I forgive you, because I want you whole, want you happy, want you safe, want to find you in the centre of the labyrinth, want to keep you. Want to keep you even though you’re awful. Want to keep you want to keep you, want you you you even though it’s me and I could have chosen a thousand better things a thousand times over.

i'll tag @encrucijada @andromedaexists @peresephones @sabinabardot @keen2meecha @kaiusvnoir and @meerawrites !!

#i think it’s sooo funny that i have creative writing assignments actively due while i’ve been working consistently on this for WEEKS #like rip to my prof i guess gay people in my google docs are WAY more important #(i’m joking obviously) (but still) #i was thinking about posting this but idk because it’s truly just thousands of words of relationship study #just one long scene with calliope being extremely mentally ill #if anyone DOES want to read it lmk i’d be happy to share when it’s done lol #anyways. them. #creme does a tag #god i need a judge and calliope tag #tw romance

currently editing A Captured Cauldron chapter 1, and while this part needs cleaning up, I'm enjoying it:

Eli stood in the doorway, dressed for his adventurer training: leather jerkin, bracers, a belt made to hold weapons and potions. A far cry from his old merchant clothing, but Ambrose could never get enough of the new look. He dared let his gaze roam over the outfit once, twice—and caught sight of two distinctly non-adventuring items filling his arms. A stack of letters and a familiar little automaton. “What’s this?” He strode over, pointedly ignoring Eli in favor of Tom the automaton: an oversized beer mug contraption equipped with a broom head, fork arms, and legs made of daggers and wheels. “Is this the little scamp who spilled my coffee this morning?” He plucked Tom from Eli’s arms and planted a kiss on the top of her broom head. Eli gave him a look. “Anything for the larger scamp who cleaned up the spilled coffee?” “Hm.” Ambrose looked him over once more and feigned thoughtfulness. “No.”

Ok a lil freaky thing

My bf said he had a dream about me, I asked what it was,

He said it was a dream where I gave him 'some form of jewelry, a bracelet or something', he didn't know what it was in the dream, but it was important to him, and then we kissed

Short, simple,

Fucking predicting the future

Why is the world tryna spoil the proposal
