Just An Asexy Rainbow

She/they. 38-year-old non-binary asexual AFAB. Rainbow lover, writer, and just a little bit crazy with some good old fashioned nerd-style. This blog contains various ramblings and fandom chaos. Welcome to my madhouse. I have cookies I stole from the darkside.

[asexyrainbow]

Dearest mutuals, those I follow, those who follow me, and curious people (who are still active)!

I am moving over to a new blog. (@cookiehugs) I didn't wish to delete this blog for several reasons: - I have had this blog for over a decade now, and I am absolutely terrible with permanent goodbyes. - I also tend to have an issue with going back down memory lane, and there *were* some good memories I had on this blog. After all, it's where I posted when I first broke through my agoraphobia and made it to my first Comic-Con to meet Benedict Cumberbatch, which then snowballed into me attending several more conventions and now I am able to move around my own city again...and am moving to the other side of the world to chase after my career! - It's also the place where I discovered many many many of the fandoms I still love. It's hard to want to erase that part of my life's journey. Especially since at least three of those fandoms are the reason the first step I took out of my house in 2013. - I also have a gripping fear of erasing the *people* who became a huge part of my Tumblr adventures. Despite the fact some of them have now vanished by just simply getting on with their lives, deactivating, and possibly moving to new blogs that I can't follow them to. If perhaps some come back, I want them to be able to find me if they so wish. - I want to focus on my writing more, and yes, that means promoting a little bit of my fanfiction work that I'm hoping to finally lose the crippling fear and low self-confidence of sharing my work that will guide me better into my professional life. So if you see the blog above randomly following you... you're someone I admire and wish to have you apart of the next step in my Tumblr journey! I may miss a few going forward, and the blog set-up still needs a bit of tweaking! (I seemed to have messed up the theme layout somehow). But if you see this, and I seem to have forgotten to follow you over there, please feel free to follow first and I should follow back!

All I want for tomorrow is for it to be January already.

Writer culture is impulsively posting the first chapter of an uncompleted work because you’re starved for interaction and suddenly realising the crushing expectations you have placed on yourself as people begin to comment how excited they are for the next chapter.

[asexyrainbow]

Aww hell, I wish this was *my* problem! My first A03 work was published two years ago, (granted it's only the prologue so far) and then I jammed myself into writer's block because it just has hits and kudos. Zero comments. Not even ones that just tell me negative stuff. I guess that's the downside of me being a writer that feeds on feedback.

[sunsoak]

That one person you haven’t spoken to in six years who straight up haunts your memory and dreams 🤣

[asexyrainbow]

I have HSAM (or hyperthymesia being the simplistic term). If I I can remember just one memory with a person, even from my toddlerhood…at some point, they will all still haunt me.

I hate it.

[asexyrainbow]

I hate being in niche fandoms that nobody writes fanfictions for anymore. Or at the very least, abandons writing my favourite characters because someone younger and "hotter" came along in the storyline.

What's a near midde-aged starved for content person to do?!

i actually fucking hate you people

[asexyrainbow]

I'm sorry I couldn't add your tags, but as an Austalian Jew, this has bothered me to see, as well the last two days. My rabbi lost an actual *friend* on Sunday as he was trying to lead our group into Chanukah celebration. He got through it by the skin of his teeth, I have no idea *how* because the news broke as he was arriving to us. My rabbi is from New York. Not to mention, Matilda's family immigrated to Australia from Ukraine. Y'know, the same one that most people who are also screaming about standing by? Matilda was her parents first child born in Australia and they gave her that name because they thought it was the most Australian name they could give her. (For context, we have a very very popular and beloved folk anthem here called Waltzing Matilida). And still, there's people that want to bring Israel up again. Like fucking sit down and shut up for five minutes. Matilda was 10 years old. She'd never been out of Australia. She was BORN here. Fuck of with your political bullshit when lives have been lost OVER POLITICAL BULLSHIT!

Happy honk

[asexyrainbow]

That feeling when....

Your goyishe late fiance's mum posts on Facebook about how she's thinking of the Australian Jewish community right now and that her heart is breaking. Just when I thought I couldn't adore that woman any more than I have for many many years...she goes and proves me wrong again. I am *still* crying over an hour later.

Funny little story... This conversation happened in 2015 at Whoniverse in Adelaide during the Meet And Greet. I was the one that told him how much the tickets cost. (I took out 4 loans and put my birthday money towards it because I'm perpetually poor)

Matt "You paid $850 for your tickets??

Us: Yup. For platium.

Matt: Fuck me!

DW Veteran: No, they'd make us pay $2000 for that

Matt: Well, for $850 I you might as well get all your money's worth.

(Note: I realised that I posted this under the wrong Matt/Bunny related post earlier by mistake. Sorry!)

I love Nick Cave as both a musician and a writer, which is a large part of why I was so excited to watch The Death of Bunny Munro.

And the Ass Saw the Angel is a book that traumatised me (excellently written and such a great story, but so insanely dark it beggars belief), and I haven’t read The Death of Bunny Munro yet, but I figured surely it can’t be as harrowing as the novel that came before it, or why else would they televise it?

Me, having sobbed at both episodes I’ve seen so far:

[asexyrainbow]

This is probably late from since when you posted it, and you may have gotten through the whole series by now…

But warning from someone who has the book and has read it (and did love it, I'll admit): they actually toned it down for the show. The book is worse. There's stuff in the book that Bunny does that did not make it into the show…and you should be really glad!

There's a few subtle changes -such as a particular episode with Poodle and a pub- that is not at all part of the book, including its stuff that directly follows (except for an elderly customer). But I found that rather tame and really just "filler".

Also, the ending is slightly different too. But again, not saying in order to not spoil things for others who may not have seen it and may or may not have read the book. But I was…surprised? Overall, about 85% was faithful to the book in some way, but I just didn't *hate* TV series Bunny M until the last moment, like I did with the book. And then the book made me fucking cry at the end anyway. The book I think is *more* of a rollercoaster ride of fuckery and debauchery. Having read it *before* watching the show, you sort of go into it and then at the end go "he's kinda soft..." Lol. Or "Awww, you poor thing."
