Update: So I told them, and here’s how it went:
My stepmom looked a bit confused but she said, “Okay”, and that was the end of that.
My dad, however…well, he started yelling, saying the typical things. “What does that even mean?”, “You’re confused”, “That’s impossible” and things like that. And I don’t know what happened, but I just blew. I started yelling, too, which surprised the both of them because I’m usually quiet. I started talking about how the both of them needed to start taking my feelings into account before they talk and act. They couldn’t just say something hurtful and ply it off as a joke every single time. Although I didn’t express it, I had feelings too, and hearing them say things hurtful about me or the LGBTQIA+ Community hurt those feelings. That shut my dad up really quickly. We had a long talk about communicating and how we would work through this.
So, all in all, I’d say it was pretty successful. In the end, I got accepted and had a meaningful talk with my parents that will hopefully make my life a little better.
I’m just about to come out to my parents. I said (posted) earlier that I already told them I was Ace, but I feel like they kinda forgot about it. Plus, this time, I’m going to come out as AroAce and genderfluid. (I know I said I was demifluid, but I realizes otherwise.) Hope and pray for me. I’m pretty sure they’ll accept me (at least the AroAce part), but I don’t know about the Gender-fluid part. They’ve made some transphobic remarks before, so I’m super effin’ nervous. I’ll update later on, after I come out.
My (nonexistent) friends: “So are you gay or straight?”
Me an aro/ace: “…yes?”
My parents say they're supportive of me and the queer community, but they seem against it at every turn. They hate on people who support queer folk-call them faggots, weirdos, unnatural, violent, etc. If any media shows representation of a queer person, it's called "pushing" and "unnatural" and "why can't they just show something normal that people actually WANT to see". If my cousin who's a toddler is dressed up in some sparkly clothes and with his hair done up, he's called a "fucking faggot" and immediately told to change unless he wanted to get slapped. I can't even put my hair up in a way that looks too boy-ish because then I'd be "asking for it". Asking for WHAT?! For the right to live life the way I want to and be comfortable with it because people aren't trying to push me down? Cause that's exactly what I'm asking for. I just want to live - what's so wrong with that?
I've been hearing a lot about this one dude calling Autism an "epidemic" and that he was going to "fix it".
But, that doesn't really seem right to me, I guess? I don't know if it's a hot take, or if people will agree, but it doesn't make sense. Autism is just something that people have. Sure, it can make them harder to deal with, but that's really just humanity. If you're not willing to adapt to make someone else comfortable with something they can't control, then leave the party. Don't be mad that they're there. It's like being mad that there's fish when you're standing in a lake. Calling autism an "epidemic" makes it seem like it's some sort of disease that needs to be cured. Therefore implying that the people with autism are in a lesser state of being than you are. Nobody's less than another - not for just existing, anyways. You only drop down to a monster when you do something despicable for fun when you had the option to not do it.
Autism isn't a disease or pandemic. It's life, it's natural. Don't force someone to conform to only your weird ideas. That's a terrible way to live. Just because someone is different doesn't mean they should be eradicated. Learn to accept it, man.
Happy International Asexual Day! The day where we grow 80% stronger and garlic bread becomes our only substance. (But not literally. Please eat some food and drink water. Stay safe and fend off the aphobes)
Me: I’m not like most aces
Date: *horny and expecting something dirty* Oh, yeah?
Me: *fully knowing what they’re thinking* Yeah. I think we should invade Switzerland. Not Denmark.
I just recently finished Song of Achilles, and…I’m not okay. Yeah, I knew they were going to die, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. And the thing that I can’t get over is that it’s all Achilles fault. If he had chosen a peaceful life with Patroclus, then nothing would have happened to them. Or if he listened to Patroclus when he BEGGED Achilles to fight. My man really got down on his knees and BEGGED, and Achilles said no. So, really, it’s all Achilles fault. Also, I am really glad they finally got to be together in Elysium. If they remained separated then I would have literally found Madeline Miller and forced her to change it. Also, Pyrrhus is a dick.
Thank you for listening to my rant.

I’m sorry, but Blitz being super (and childishly) happy about finding a coin on the ground and then immediately insulting somebody else is just the most Blitz thing to ever exist.
