Chau I wanted to ask how do you manage to go to school on land while being a mermaid? does the school give you proper accommodations or maybe is like simpler than what im thinking??

would love to hear your experience!

Châu seems a little surprised that you asked them, but they put their phone down and look directly at you when they speak, which is a good sign.

there are actually, like, a bunch of mermaids here. most of them traded the tails in for legs. i didn't want to, so the administration gave me a chair. which is nice, but like, this chair wasn't built for a mermaid. it's...

Châu shuffles in the wheelchair, and, for the first time, you notice the awkward posture its shape is forcing her into.

...not ideal.

other than that, there are pools on campus, both saltwater and freshwater. they're cool i guess. i... don't really go. mostly i hang out in my bathtub.

She looks down at her clasped hands.

and my skincare routine has a million steps now. but it's whatever.

question for fedya! what kind of management Sims you play?? you seem like a total roller-coaster tycoon kind of fella but maybe not! what are your favorites?

Fedya's ears twitch when he hears your question, and he looks a little less terrified.

M-my favorite is a game called "Dying Star." It's- Well-

He gives himself a moment to work out how he's going to describe it.

The premise is, something weird happened to the sun the characters' planet orbits. I mean, it might be aliens or evil magic or something, we don't actually know for sure... But the point is, you need to build a spaceship and stock it with stuff to get as many people off planet as possible before the sun explodes and becomes a black hole and everyone dies! And on the highest difficulty it'll explode in a week, and the materials you're working with are basically like, sticks and tinfoil.

As he's explaining all of this, Fedya becomes unrecognizable. He stops shaking, his voice drops in pitch, and his eyes are shining. You stay quiet because you don't want to break this strange, wonderful spell.

Then when the spaceship leaves orbit the goal becomes to keep the people on it alive until they make it to another planet they have a colony on. So like, you really shouldn't take too many people if you don't have enough resources to keep them alive after.

And you don't just need to keep them physically alive, you also need to keep up their spirits. A lot of new players neglect this, since it doesn't have an immediate profit... huge mistake! Cause if the population gets too hopeless they will refuse to work and just accept their doom, and then you're really screwed.

It's tough! I've put-

He pauses.

Well... like... I've put a lot of hours into it.

You get the sense he actually does know the exact number of hours he's put into it, but is choosing to hold back that information.

The last update really messed everything up though, just totally wrecked the ecosystem. So I've been doing other stuff while I'm waiting for the patch.

Like, I got really into this one show! It's-

Once again it looks like something inside Fedya prevents him from telling you more. His ears droop, the spark goes out of his eyes, and he withdraws into the corner of the room.

W-well, nevermind...

(to everyone) What motivated you to join the support club?

Thyme:

I guess for me the question is what motivated me to create it?

I am secure in my ace identity now, but I wasn't always. It was a long, hard journey, a lot of pain, a lot of confusion, and I essentially had to do it alone. So I just wanted other aces who are on that journey to have a support structure and a safe space to talk about it! :)

Aurelius:

Wow, yeah, I can't top that answer so I'm not even gonna try.

I realized I was ace very recently, and only thanks to Thyme. So when I heard they wanted to create the group, I was immediately on board. Like, hell yeah! New venture! New connections, new information, new stage of my life, and one of the coolest people I know as our fearless leader!

Aurelius, I don't know if I'd call myself a fearless leader, or "one of the coolest people"...

Châu:

it's true though. i'm here because of thyme.

If trees could blush, this one would be doing it.

Stella, bouncing and raising her hand:

Oh!! Me!✨✨

Yes, Stella?

☺!

...

.....wait what was the question??

Aurelius snorts.

What motivated you to join this group?

Oh!! Well... I don't know anyone here! I wanted to make friends! So I looked through the list of extracari- extraco-

Extracurriculars?

Yes! Looked at the extracurriculars and thought, omg, no way!!🤩 open to all acespecs! that's me!!

That it is! So glad you joined us.

Thyme pats Stella's head.

What about you, little dude?

Fedya:

!! (⊙ _ ⊙;)

I- Um- The, uh-

You're new here as well, right? And you're far from home. It must be very scary and stressful.

Fedya nods frantically.

And you're questioning your identity! That's a lot of stuff. Did you join because you wanted some stability?

Fedya nods less frantically.

I hope we can help with that.

Oh definitely. It's gonna be awesome.

Yaay! Friendship!!

Stella scoops everyone into a hug.

Not MG though.

MG is not in the room.

The Space Belongs to the Ace

Happy International Asexuality Day! I thought I'd make a tribute not only to all my fellow aces out there but also to space. To me, my asexuality is, on some level, connected to outer space, and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

If you don't know what I mean by that, let me tell you why.

Space has always meant a lot of me as a kid long before I discovered my asexuality. It is defined as a near-perfect vacuum. Outside of celestial bodies, there is almost nothing out there. No air. No other signs of life as far as we are concerned.

Yet if you look beyond, you can discover something beautiful... You can discover stars that have been here for over a millenia. You can discover spirals that are expanding and will continue to expand. You can discover colours and shapes that can captivate you or even comfort you, telling you that everything will be okay.

That's how I felt when I was finally able to label my experiences. That same wonder astronauts feel when they make a new discovery about space? It is the same wonder I felt when I first heard the term "asexual".

Now there are people who are pushing us out of the LGBT+ community. Even after we built our own as they insisted, people still harrass us for "not being oppressed enough" or for "making up a sexuality" or even "endangering the kids by confusing them with something unnatural".

It's 2024. We can't keep pushing away our fellow members when the world is already pushing us away from society. Exclusionism has only ever served to tear us apart while the people who want to hurt us sit back and let us do the work for them. We can't keep doing this. We deserve to have our space.

We belong here too.
