btw i did see i hit 2k followers a few days back and for the life of me i don’t understand how but woo! i have zero grasp of how many breathing people 2,000 is but i am grateful nonetheless :)
oh oh and also, i went ahead and made a personal today, @babd0y.
granted ive no idea if ill stick to it but in case anyone wants to see what’s most likely gonna be me ranting about being in love with some random stranger, my constant yearning for the moon, crying over quotes and literature in general, whatever words i manage to string together in the haze that is my brain during the late hours of 4 in the morning despite having obligations early the next day, OR if you just wanna have someone to chat with about random shit and/or leave ominous messages that read as threats in my inbox, i’m down to have you!

Go and think about what kinds of relationships you want. Don’t think about labels like romantic or platonic or sexual, think purely about what relationships would make you happiest.
When I realized I was aromantic, I was asked things like “Would you still date? Would you have a QPR? Will you ever kiss?”
But the aromantic community didn’t ask that. Instead, they focused on “What do you want in a world where anything is possible?”
And I realized I want to be alone, surrounded by friends and family I love who are close enough, I can bring them fresh baked scones when I overbake.
They asked me “What do you want?” and the question was so broad, I could weigh labels in my hand like queerplatonic partner and nonpartnering and significant other. I could look at these and shrug and say, “What I want is to not worry about questions I don’t care about.” I could shelve these indefinitely. Maybe even forever. And just enjoy being myself.
The aromantic community celebrates exploration. Tells people asking if they are aromantic, “This is a personal decision. Your personal decision. If this label helps you, take it. If this community helps you, stay as long as you need. You don’t have to be labelled anything, aromantic or otherwise, unless it would bring you comfort. You don’t have to be anything you aren’t.”
It’s a good community with good philosophies born from a unique experience, not rooted in missing out, but in being forced to consider what you want when you don’t want what’s expected.

[ whatever. this is kinda from an AU in my head and like. they’re fugitives. they’re very messed up, so very messed up. they love each other. the end. ]
I know I haven’t been around for a long time, my She-Ra hyperfixation kinda ran dry for the time being, sorry. Maybe one day it will re-ignite itself.
I’ve recently created an art blog for my wobbly first steps in digital art, it’s still pretty much empty but I will gradually fill it with stuff. If you want to take a look, you can find it at @marsbarsarts.
