i wonder if the noncatholic girlbloggers know that saint sebastian survived all of that. there's some post about the paintings of him shot full of arrows being of his "sensual dying form" but like. he very much did not die <3 a woman nursed him back to health #feminism. unfortunately he did get beaten to death and thrown into a sewer later but. it is what it is. the arrows are much sexier

genuinely i do think aromanticism gives me shrimp emotions. i don't experience love in a way that is fundamentally the same as most people but i am effortlessly recognizing and experiencing the secret third thing and all the hundreds of secret things after that

spike btvs is truly a success story. anyone can be a loser poet and then grow up to bleach their hair platinum blonde and wear leather jackets and be cool. and still be a loser

#truly my icon forever and ever and ever #saw some clips of like. 80s spike. need to lay down for three years and reconsider everything #valentine notes #spike btvs

one of my things with love is that i think it's probably like colors. yeah we have a thing that we all sort of agree is red. but we have no way to know if other people see red the same way as us. your red could be totally different from mine and we would never know because it has functionally the same relation to all of us and so we all just call it red. i have no way of knowing if anyone else on earth feels love the exact same way in which i do and in fact i think most people probably don't...

#this is about aromanticism btw #yeah i use love in a conventional way sometimes (telling friends i love them. all that) #genuinely though i do think that i feel love in a different way from everyone else #which is. alienating. #but also. intimate. is the word i want to use i think. #i have this thing that is just for myself. i am so aware of the way that i feel these emotions and they are just for me to understand. #special and beautiful and all that. aromanticism to me #valentine notes #aromantic #aromanticism

the hate on demisexuality specifically when ace exclusion was all the rage is still so funny to me. bitches going "some teenager on the internet made up that term for a character and then decided to use it herself!!!!" as if that was. a rebuttal? like wowwwww a teenager projected an experience onto a character of theirs. that's never happened before. that's so crazy someone made up a word to describe their experience??? yeah dude you should definitely go bully teenagers on the internet about it that seems like the reasonable thing to do. can't let those teens. uh. [ checks notes ] come to a realization about their sexuality and then talk about it

the hogwarts legacy conversation really highlights something that i think usually stays hidden under the polite facade of liberalism. in the past days, weeks, months, it has become increasingly more apparent that there are SHOCKINGLY few trans allies in spaces which pride themselves on inclusivity and acceptance. as liberal people whose allyship so far has been limited to offering pronouns in their bio and maybe putting an infographic on their insta story once in a while are pressed to make choices to actively support trans people, it becomes increasingly clear that what they offered was never allyship at all. it becomes increasingly clear that their 'allyship' was contingent on all trans people being nice and unobtrusive and separate from other issues. people are dropping their illusions of supporting trans people shockingly quickly when confronted with the choice to actively harm people or not play a video game. as pat loller described it, they are presented with a trolley problem with trans people on one side and jk rowling/the (already paid) game devs on the other. one side will not be damaged. the train will take them on to their next destination, in fact, with very little fanfare. the train will crush the trans people. you have to actively pull the lever to crush the trans people. so-called allies are actively pulling the lever and then getting upset when trans people get upset about being DIRECTLY HARMED. how dare we speak up about the issues we face. how dare we be upset about the direct disregard and harm that people who claimed to support us are now foisting upon us. how dare we be messy about that. we are being actively legislated out of existence, and people who said they were our allies are abandoning us in droves for their much larger problem of... not being able to play a game. it's honestly fucking comedic. your allyship means nothing if it comes with conditions. your allyship means nothing if you are not willing to take action for the sake of your allies. your allyship means nothing if you are not willing to LITERALLY SIT STILL AND NOT DO A SINGLE ACTION for the sake of your allies. the trans community asks people NOT TO PLAY THE GAME. and people look us in the eyes and tell us that a few hours of antisemitic gameplay is worth more than our lives. fine. whatever. we see how it is. glad that they're finally being honest, at least. if you play hogwarts legacy or engage with harry potter i hope you die.

#fucking SUCKS. so angry and frustrated and horrified with every fucking thing i see someone say about this game #cannot fucking believe what kind of bullshit is being pushed right now. #the hollowness of this allyship is SO clear and it only makes it more apparent that we have no allies other than ourselves #because people will not choose our human fucking lives over a video game. #and they will in fact actively turn against us if we dare to be mean nasty trans people about it. #sweatermuppet is right forever and ALWAYS. transsexuals need to get meaner. #god. i fucking hate it here. #hogwarts legacy #harry potter #hp #jk rowling #anti hogwarts legacy #anti harry potter #trans #transgender #valentine notes

being aromantic in fandom feels like slogging through all nine circles of hell and then satan's not even cool and sexy in the ice in the center of it

#i'm never In Fandom cause it tires me out in general. but being aro turns fandom space into molasses #not going to elaborate. you all know what i mean #valentine notes #aromanticism

based as hell shout out to this random textbook for including "the value of romantic love" as an ideological construct alongside heteronormativity and nationalism
