Imma just leave this here.
Okay, so I’ve been like, not saying anything on this because I can’t be bothered with the drama, but like, I figure a fair few people in the fandom are generally aware of my existence, and I make a lot of ace content, so here we go. Sorry it’s not a read below the line, I’m on mobile.
The concept of smut week makes me a tad uncomfortable, but the concept of making smut taboo makes me even more uncomfortable. I don’t understand the appeal of it, but I don’t understand the appeal of sex at all.
Quite honestly, some of the smut creators I’ve interacted with in this fandom have made me very uncomfortable. Some of the ways smut creators in this fandom have referred to people who don’t like smut make me uncomfortable. The idea of watching a show for kids and seeing a potential for smut makes me uncomfortable. Some of the fetishist behaviour I’ve seen within smut I’ve stumbled across makes me uncomfortable.
But (and I’m really not trying to be a pick me ace here) smut week was always going to happen. Honestly, the prompts and rules are comforting because it seems respectful and inclusive. Hyper sexual kids exist. Kids who find their comfort in smut and sex exist. Trans kids who want to feel attractive exist. I know people really fucking comforted by some of the trans smut in this fandom, and I know people really fucking comforted by the emotional smut in this fandom, and I’m proud to be apart of a fandom that’s provided that, even if it’s not something I want to read myself. I’ve found that comfort in ace and aro related content in this fandom, and I’m glad me and my friends can all find something for ourselves.
In my opinion, the best way for this to go forward without some kind of explosion is respect. Like actual fucking respect. You find your comfort, I’ll find mine, maybe we can get through that without calling each other names, and maybe we can get through that without ostracising parts of the community that could be providing comfort to others. A blocklist is useful because it means don’t like don’t read can be enacted, but in the same vein, let’s not accuse people of crimes, yk. Don’t attack smut writers, but smut writers, maybe don’t call us prudes.
(P. S. Maybe ace week is meant to be a rebuke to smut week, but do you know what? Maybe ace people deserve an outpouring of content at a time when the smut creators (by no means a majority) who’ve disrespected us will be getting a lot of validation)
You: likes my post
Me:
mutual: has rarely if ever spoken to me but consistently likes my text posts
me: i would die for you
I feel like Transgender Day of Visability (March 31) is going to get overlooked this year considering the circumstances. I’d like every trans and nonbinary person who sees this to know I am proud of you for existing. Just because we’re in the middle of a pandemic doesn’t mean you were forgotten. :)
So I was scrolling through the genderqueer tag and I saw this bullshit-
I didn't want to reblog it or comment on it to tell this person off because this person doesn't deserve any notes because of how fucking rude this is. Just because they might not understand it doesn't mean that they get to bitch about it. If any of you, and I hope this doesnt apply to you, agrees with this person, then they can go ahead and unfollow me because I don't want to be a part of anyone's shit. To those of you that don't hate people because of their gender or sexuality, I love you and you can continue on with your day ❤ Anyone who is genderqueer is valid and amazing
Dear stranger,
have you ever cried so hard that you couldn't recognize your voice afterwards? Have you ever cried so hard that you couldn't breathe and was afraid you'd die?
If you have, remember that you have made it another day, week, month and year. You're still here. You're here for a reason. Don't give up. Keep going.
When it's hard, you feel like you want to give up, but what if instead when you want to hide from the world all that could save you would be a hug, a cup of tea and a sweet word?
As I'm writing this, I can't help but wonder what the future holds. We may have a lot of dark days ahead, but the sun always comes up after the storm.
Have you ever noticed how quickly and peacefully the sky pulls herself together after it rains? How the next day the sun comes up and it shines even more beautiful than before?
Each one of us cry, some harder, some much more often than others. Crying is good. I know you think to yourself, that you're weak when you cry, but you're strong. You're strong because after you stop crying, you get up and have to go on with your daily life. Even washing your face and drinking some water afterwards can be a big effort, but it means that you take care of yourself, as you should. It means you're on the right way.
So next time you cry, cry long and hard. After you finish, listen to some healing music, get up from your bed and go to work, to school, take a walk...etc. Tell yourself it'll get better. Because it always will.
If you feel like nothing makes sense anymore, believe me it does. Everything is for a reason, and everything that's broken, has got a cure, a healing. Speak to someone, there are so many people that feel exactly like you do.
You will get through it. I believe in you.
- from a stranger, that feels just like you
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

Happy last of asexual awareness week. To my asexual,aromantic,agender, and anyone who is in the ace spectrum, I love you so much and deeply support you. You are not broken. You are valid 🖤🤍🤍💜
i just had a chat with my 9 year old sister and now know a few new things about her life as a third grader.
first she is bi and she was so chill and cultured about it that she didn’t see any difference between liking boys vs girls, which makes me so happy. she didn’t feel like she had to come out or explain herself for liking girls, just as she wouldn’t have to for liking boys. it’s honestly amazing that she doesn’t see it as something she has to explain to people like it’s unusual or out of the norm, because it’s not.
on another note though, she just got a boyfriend! so of course i had to give her a talk about what’s appropriate and what not as per my role as big sister. and make sure she knows how to assert boundaries and to make sure she knows she can tell me anything and everything. i gotta make sure my baby sis knows i got her back no matter what.
also found out her best friend is in a committed polyamorous relationship with two other girls. and my sister and their friends don’t think it’s bad or taboo or anything like that which is awesome. honestly, good for them.
anyway i felt like this was something that needed to be out there. i just want anyone who reads this to know times are changing and that’s good.
anyone who reads this just know that it’s ok to love who you love no matter what gender, non-gender, or ethnicity they or you are. and if you don’t want to love someone or your not attracted to someone romantically or sexually that’s ok. you are who you are and you love how you love. just feel how you feel and know that there is always someone out there who does or will love you for who you are, even if you don’t always see them or haven’t met them yet. just know they are there. know that your feelings are valid. know that you are valid. you are amazing and beautiful and i hope that wherever you are and whenever your read this, that this post brought even the smallest bit of happiness into your life.
