Hey Y’all, With Asexual Awareness Week Coming Up (Oct 21-27th This Year) Here Are A Few Things To Remember!

The things they don’t teach you in school

Victor refusing to make the Monster a wife because he was worried they’d breed is such a cop out. Like, you’re cobbling together body parts from charnel houses. You can just not give her any ovaries. You can just spay her like a cat. Why are you this dumb Victor. You’re a doctor.

“Why criticism hurts so much" 

I’ve been working on a series aiming to explain why we can get so deeply hurt and afraid of disapproval that it will interfere with our life decisions.

Coming soon: 2/4 "Where does it come from?” ¾ "How can I spot it?” 4/4 “What can I do?”

What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?

Dating as an Ace

Talking to people in person is terrifying because I know once I come out to them they’ll lose all interest/think I’m a freak.

Trying to use dating apps is a waste because most of them are for one night stands or casual sex, not relationships.

Meeting people at work sucks because even if they’re really cute, I can’t make any approaches past “how can I help”, which gets me ignored 90% of the time anyway.

Not even my college pride group is useful because when I told them I was Ace, the club president went “is that real?” That broke my heart.

And finally I have online meetings that lead to LDRs. I’ve been in a LDR and it was the happiest I’ve ever been, but when she left I felt empty because a person I’ve never met took so much from me.

Nothing works, and it’s so depressing.

“Sarcastic people tend to be marshmallows underneath the armor.”

That’s what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.

my parents didn’t raise me to order something expensive when someone else is paying

Things I allow myself to do now that I know I’m autistic:

- stim more

- no smile unless I mean it

- have low ex days

- isolate myself properly

- say what I mean and not what I think people want to hear

- struggle (this one is so important) with driving/shopping/going to the bank etc without feeling shitty about myself

- cry more

Not masking feels so nice, but it’s sooo hard

I drew Todd from Bojack Horseman because asexual representation is SO important and him coming out to Bojack made me cry!
