I don’t know if I’m allo or aro but why is love so confusing?
like genuinely what is the difference between platonic and romantic? Every answer I’ve gotten is so stupid, because I feel that way about my friends! I wish we could live together, we could be roommates and we could have movie nights daily. But it’s platonic. But also if I don’t know what romantic is so what if that’s romantic? But then why do I feel that way around everyone. Why is so confusinggggg
the most helpful chart I've found so far is this:
(source)
However, you can define your attraction however you want, or even just leave it without a label. It's okay to be confused, take your time and figure things out when you are ready.

What kind of attraction am I feeling?
It can be difficult to figure out exactly what we are feeling toward someone, especially since we can be feeling multiple types of attraction at the same time. To help you out, here are some things you might think about someone when feeling certain types of attraction.
Romantic attraction:
"I feel a physical magnetism to this person"
"I think about them all the time"
"I can't help but imagine a future with them"
"I fantasize about kissing them, marrying them, moving in with them, etc"
"I desire for them to be romantically involved with me"
"The feeling I have for them is distinctly different from how I feel about friends or family"
"I have physical reactions to them, like butterflies when I'm near them or an ache when they're away"
Sexual attraction
"I feel a physical magnetism to this person"
"I can't help but fantasize about being sexually close with them or imagining them naked"
"being near them arouses me a bit"
"I feel my loins react to their presence and I am extremely aware of how close they are to me"
"It's like everyone is in grayscale but this specific person is in full colour"
Platonic Attraction:
"I feel an emotional magnetism toward this person"
"I feel like we are on the same wavelength and I can easily understand them"
"I feel like we are vibing and it's easy to talk and share with them."
"I feel drawn to their energy"
"I am very comfortable hanging out with them and I desire to get to know them and have them get to know me"
"I can easily spend time together without a lot of effort or emotional drain"
Aesthetic Attraction:
"this person has a really cool style or a beautiful face/body
"I appreciate their beauty the same way I appreciate a beautiful sunset"
"I want to be around them in the same way I want to be around beautiful art"
"I feel a desire to stare at them or maybe even draw them"
"I enjoy how our styles compliment each other"
Sensual attraction:
"This person makes me feel like I do when I see a big floofy dog - I feel a strong desire to snuggle them or hug them or just be near them in a non-sexual way"
"I may fantasize about cuddling them or being close to them"
"I may feel inclined to physically interact with them more than other people."

(THE BOOK OF BILL SPOILERS!!)
Thinking about Bill’s appearance at the end of the book…
[ID: BIll when confronting the Axolotl. He is shown in white silhouette, hovering in space, hovering neutrally. Notably, he has a massive crack running through his body, splitting him into multiple pieces, some of which are coming apart. /end ID]
When confronting the Axolotl, Bill is broken. The Axolotl even notes this: "Shattered, broken, not yet dead."
(Which, side note, makes me think Bill might have been lying about having been "kicked out of Hell," if he didn't actually die in Stan's head.)
[ID: Three pictures of Bill in the Theraprism. The first one shows him holding his hand against the side of his head in a dazed expression, sitting in a chair in a white padded room between a wizard with a clock for a face and Saturn (taken directly from the painting Saturn Devouring His Son). The second is a camera recording of him wearing an orange jumpsuit and kneeling in a cell, surrounded by arts and crafts tools, holding a pair of scissors, and beaming his thoughts frantically into a book. The third shows a mugshot of him staring blankly into the camera, his own name written on coded text below him. In all three images, he has a glowing scar where the cracks were, and is in one piece. /end ID]
When he's shown in the Theraprism, we see a glowing, static-y scar where the cracks were. The scar crosses his entire body (and even crosses to the other side of his eye without affecting it!), but he's actually whole, keeping himself together.
But then...
[ID: Two pictures of Bill from the last pages of the book. In the first one he is facing forward and holding up one finger, his eye reddened, his entire form glitching, and his crack is notably worse than prior, cracking through his eye, multiple smaller pieces drifting away. In the second one he is staring blankly at the viewer, his arms hanging limply, his eye wide and blank, the crack worse than the previous image, with more pieces floating away. /end ID]
In the last few pages, we see the scar is gone and the cracks are back, and even more of him is breaking away, including parts of his eye. It's especially bad in the last image, with even more pieces of him breaking away.
Also noteworthy is that the static texture behind him seems to be the same as the blood sample the US government took from him in the 1940s. He's bleeding.
We know from context that these images are meant to be taken somewhat chronologically. After dying (or nearly dying), Bill seeks out the Axolotl, who sends him to the Theraprism. While there, he writes the journal that he's beaming to us. The staff at the Theraprism catch onto this, and allow him to write out the last few pages, meaning those last few pages are chronologically the last of Bill we see.
This means that, after the events of the show, Bill was shattered... and then, upon entering the Theraprism, started to heal, his body coming together and scars forming... but at some point afterward, he started breaking apart again.
I'd made a post previously about Bill's development, how he views himself as a monster after the Euclidian Disaster, and how he continues to act monstrous afterward (and winds up agonizingly lonely as a result). I didn't really touch on this in the post, but I feel like after inadvertently destroying his home dimension...
Bill never left the denial phase of grief.
I could be wrong on this, but I get the feeling that part of his reason for acting monstrous toward just about everybody is because he sees himself as a monster, because "this is just how I am" is easier to accept than "I really really screwed up."
Bringing this back to his shattering... It's interesting to me that after entering the Theraprism, his body is scarring, which means it is healing. But then, at the end, as he's signing off the book, he's shattered again, and looking even worse than he did when talking to the Axolotl. When talking this over with a friend, they pointed out something that struck me:
Bill does not want to heal.
Healing means having to actually think through what happened. It means having to confront his past, confront destroying his home dimension, confront the harm he caused to others, confront the fact that he did not have to be this way.
And he refuses to do that.
He refuses to heal.

I had fun drawing them, even if im not good at drawing robots or painting metal. They are really cute and fun i love them
It seems I've hit a wall with my art. Huh. I'm in the "I hate everything I make" phase again. My ability is too low to not hate drawing, but the only way to not hate drawing is to draw. Great, I have to draw actual poses and anatomy. Fun...
