Sometimes I Get A Bit Depressed Thinking About How Thick My Thighs Are, And Then I Remember That These

So my sister and I went to Barnes and Nobles the other day to get more Percy Jackson books because she started reading the series and we passed a cut-out of Nick and Charlie (from Heartstopper) kissing and she asked if that was Percy and Jason (from Percy Jackson). I burst out laughing and my sister just looked at me like I was crazy.

Mild Spoilers For Full Moon!

Was it just me, or did Moxxie seem a little bit different in this episode? He seemed more crude and violent than in previous episodes. Maybe he grew a backbone after the whole “Striker” incident, or maybe I’m just crazy.

In comparison to Denmark, Switzerland just seems better to me. It’s more mountainous, and has a climate closer to the place where I lived in as a kid. I’ve also heard from trusted sources that Switzerland does have a higher cost of living, but the pay is higher and the taxes are lower. I also heard that it has better animal rights. Switzerland typically has better weather, and the civilians are much more polite and formal than ones in Denmark. During time of war, Switzerland (almost) always chooses to remain neutral, which is a better plan than to pick a side.

Plus, they sell the most chocolate in Switzerland.

Me: I’m not like most aces

Date: *horny and expecting something dirty* Oh, yeah?

Me: *fully knowing what they’re thinking* Yeah. I think we should invade Switzerland. Not Denmark.

I just recently finished Song of Achilles, and…I’m not okay. Yeah, I knew they were going to die, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. And the thing that I can’t get over is that it’s all Achilles fault. If he had chosen a peaceful life with Patroclus, then nothing would have happened to them. Or if he listened to Patroclus when he BEGGED Achilles to fight. My man really got down on his knees and BEGGED, and Achilles said no. So, really, it’s all Achilles fault. Also, I am really glad they finally got to be together in Elysium. If they remained separated then I would have literally found Madeline Miller and forced her to change it. Also, Pyrrhus is a dick.

Thank you for listening to my rant.

Being asexual is really funny because you keep getting told that no one cares about you and you shouldn't talk about it because it's inappropriate and no one apart from a potential partner would care

But at the same time everyone is weirdly obsessed with your sex life

"have you had sex? yes? no? tell me the exact reasons why you did/did not have sex in great detail"

"you've never had sex? you HAVE to have sex right now! how dare you not have sex? what if you have a partner? you want to torture them? you want them to hate you?"

"you're having sex? how's that possible? you're not allowed, that's illegal. you are abusing your partners"

"do you masturbate? how often?"

"can you orgasm?"

"have you checked your hormones?"

"have you checked your brain?"

"did you never have good sex before?"

"did you have a bad relationship in the past?"

"were you raped?"

"are you a victim of CSA?"

"do you watch porn? what kind? tell me exactly what you felt while watching porn in great detail!"

"you like dressing nicely? wearing make-up? doing your nails? skin care? shaving?! how is that possible? everyone knows that the only reason anyone would do these things is to attract a mate. you must be lying about being asexual"

"do you own sex toys?"

"you're into BDSM? how could you be into BDSM? that's impossible!"

"did you have sex before? you didn't enjoy it, how is that possible, everyone likes sex!/you enjoyed it, how is that possible, everyone knows asexuals are not physically capable of enjoying sex!"

Damn. . .

I thought you didn't care

My parents say they're supportive of me and the queer community, but they seem against it at every turn. They hate on people who support queer folk-call them faggots, weirdos, unnatural, violent, etc. If any media shows representation of a queer person, it's called "pushing" and "unnatural" and "why can't they just show something normal that people actually WANT to see". If my cousin who's a toddler is dressed up in some sparkly clothes and with his hair done up, he's called a "fucking faggot" and immediately told to change unless he wanted to get slapped. I can't even put my hair up in a way that looks too boy-ish because then I'd be "asking for it". Asking for WHAT?! For the right to live life the way I want to and be comfortable with it because people aren't trying to push me down? Cause that's exactly what I'm asking for. I just want to live - what's so wrong with that?

I’m just about to come out to my parents. I said (posted) earlier that I already told them I was Ace, but I feel like they kinda forgot about it. Plus, this time, I’m going to come out as AroAce and genderfluid. (I know I said I was demifluid, but I realizes otherwise.) Hope and pray for me. I’m pretty sure they’ll accept me (at least the AroAce part), but I don’t know about the Gender-fluid part. They’ve made some transphobic remarks before, so I’m super effin’ nervous. I’ll update later on, after I come out.

How do I politely tell someone that I’m aroace?

There’s this guy in my class that has a crush on me. (There are very obvious signs and I’ve heard his friends talking about how he likes me). I’m friends with this guy and I value his friendship dearly, so I want to be as nice as possible. I really hate to let anyone, especially such a dear friend, down, but I just can’t stand the idea of me being in a romantic and/or sexual relationship.

Do I wait until he confesses that he likes me and then let him down?? Do I casually mention it in a conversation and let him figure it out?? Do I just…not tell him?? I don’t know what to do!! Does anyone have any advice, please?!

Happy International Asexual Day! The day where we grow 80% stronger and garlic bread becomes our only substance. (But not literally. Please eat some food and drink water. Stay safe and fend off the aphobes)
