i honestly don't know i always called them what they’re called in german and never knew what else they possibly could be called
Ok wait. What are these called. I've heard like 8 different things what are they
reblog and put in the tags what comes up when you type "i want"
I'm not sure if this will come out right but:
Being loved is NOT a reward for being beneficial or useful in any way. You don't become less deserving of being loved if you aren't productive for a day or if you have a bad day and can't get out of bed.
I promise. Being loved has nothing to do with how you "help" the world or those around you.

just wanna say that as an enby, bi & polyam person the ace & aro communities and the very very important discussions + critique of mainstream views on sex & romance that these communities have fostered has been instrumental in helping me figure out my own personal/unique relationship w/ sex, romance, platonic vs. romantic vs. other attractions, and also how i view my own body + heart in these contexts and im rly rly so eternally grateful for that. queer solidarity helps us all, queer solidarity forever
This way people can see they’re not alone. I have them and this would help me see that.
Fish. Casey Horton. 1983.
people always act like there’s such a hard line between “psychotic person” and “normal person”, and I feel like that plays a lot into the dehumanization psychotic people face. cause once a nonpsychotic person internalizes this logic, suddenly we’re attractions and interesting and a fun research subject cause we’re just so fucking other that we become wholly unrelatable. for the nonpsychotic person, it’s unimaginable what psychosis must “really” feel like. so they treat us like a fictional species just trying to understand our existence. and they don’t worry about how their actions might affect us any more than they’d worry about insulting a vulcan by calling the vulcan thought process “just so interesting!”.
but in reality…. the difference between a psychotic person and a nonpsychotic person is not so stark. all human brains are prone to psychosis. all humans are capable of experiencing psychosis in one way or another. anyone could develop a full blown psychotic disorder at any time, no one is born immune to this. and while there’s some contexts in which it’s necessary to differentiate who does or doesn’t experience these symptoms of course, largely I think nonpsychotic people are doing themselves a disfavor - and being ableist in the process - by ignoring the hard truth of the matter: us psychotic people are exactly the same as them.
