[ID: Several digital doodles of different hugs from HxH. The first one shows Gon throwing his arms around a surprised Kurapika. Kurapika says, “Go-” before getting cut off by Gon saying, “I’m glad!” Underneath the two of them says, CH. 102. The next doodle shows Gon jumping into Killua’s arms. The words, “Ha!” surround the two of them as Killua says, “You look like a mess!!” Gon replies, “You do too!!” Beneath the two of them says, CH. 43. The third doodle shows Leorio slinging an arm around Kurapika who is looking up at him. Leorio says, “Hey!” and Kurapika responds, “Hey.” The doodle is labeled CH. 346. The last couple of doodles show Gon and Killua hugging from different angles, showing their surprised and sad faces. Gon says, “Kite said no matter where we go… we’ll always be friends.” It shows the two of them standing and hugging, and Killua responds, “Yeah.” The doodles are labeled, CH. 338. End ID.]
[ID: The meme of people putting their hands in a circle in solidarity. The centre says, “having to hear unfunny/unnecessary jokes were ppl pretend to have what you have” and the arms are people with autism, people with OCD, people with PTSD, people with psychosis, bipolar people, people with schizophrenia, people with personality disorders, and people with ADHD. \End ID]
bizarre talent I have developed: I accidentally familiarized myself with the entire text of The Art of War while creating Hallmark-style graphics for maximum cognitive dissonance
so now I instantly know when a Sun Tzu quote is fake because if it were real I would have pasted it in a live laugh love font over a stock photo of a stay-at-home mom
Are there examples of your handiwork readily available for internet-based public perusal?
[Image 1 ID: A picture of a laughing man arm wrestling a smiling child. White cursive text at the top of the photo reads “If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.” End ID]
[Image 2 ID: A woman and a young boy standing in a neat and organized room filled with shelves full of toys. The woman raises a box full of toys above her head to put the box on a high shelf. The child looks up at her with his arms crossed, a disgruntled expression on his face. Text above the child’s head reads “Begin by seizing something which your opponent holds dear; then he will be amenable to your will.” End ID]
[Image 3 ID: A man in the foreground of the image appears to be in bed, asleep. In the background is a fuzzy image of a small child. She appears to be standing over the sleeping man. White text in the center of the photo reads “In war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.”]
Me: at&t turned my phone off . yall the only people i can call . what yall doing? where the hoes?”
Below the image text, there is a close up (showing only his shoulders and face) photo of a black man who has short hair and a beard. His shoulders slightly hunched, and he is holding a smartphone to his ear. His eyebrows are raised and one side of his nose and lip are slightly lifted, as though in confusion or disbelief (similar to the sort of expression someone would make after hearing someone say something completely ridiculous/absurd). ]
Next up in our Aspec Voices series is Aros who have been in or want romantic relationships! Thanks to everyone wo contributed, including @a-romantic–aromantic!
These graphics feature some quotes from the article, which you can read in full here: https://taaap.org/2022/02/24/asaw-22-aros-romance/
[ID: “I really enjoy affection and the act of being cared for in a romantic way, but I also need my partners to understand that I don’t have relationship hierarchies in my head- I don’t value them more than my friends. “ - Alex. “Ideally I wouldn’t live with my partner, we’d have our own space, and they’d understand I’m seeking intimacy and closeness more than romance and sex.” - Ky. “I largely try to stay away from it, but I’ve seen quite a bit of anti-romance sentiment coming from some aro people, and I understand ranting about it, I understand wanting nothing to do with it, but the homophobic, racist, and ableist implications of being anti-romance make me uncomfortable.” - Magpie.
“Being aromantic affects a lot of aspects of my relationships. Since I’m aroflux, my orientation switches around a lot. I’ll go from being romantically attracted to someone to suddenly wanting no romance at all.“ - Mars Naomi. “You don’t need to be hungry to think the cake looks delicious. You don’t need to feel a romantic attraction to want to do the cutesy mushy romantic stuff. - Amalthæ. “[Aromanticism] also means I am barely ever interested in someone despite pretty much constantly wanting to be which is frustrating.” - Theo.
