This post is just my personal perspective as an asexual. Of course, every asexual person has their own unique experiences with asexuality, and may not feel the same way I do. I'm not trying to speak for the asexual community as a whole, but rather talk about my own thoughts and feelings.
I feel as though asexuality is often misunderstood. It gets confused with celibacy and hyposexuality, which asexuals can experience, but that isn't the defining trait. Maybe it's due to my personal definitions, which is no sexual attraction to any gender, or lack thereof. My personal definition only describes sexual attraction to gender, rather than sex drive or sexual attraction as a whole.
My reasoning is that sexuality, in this context, refers to attraction to gender. Heterosexual is the attraction to the opposite gender, homosexual to the same gender, bisexual to two or more genders, etc. I just think it's odd for all of the other sexualities to specify a gender, while asexuality gets branded as celibacy.
There are plenty of people who do understand that there are asexuals who are sex positive, but unfortunately I feel as though it can create a different problem. You get jokes about asexuals being the freakiest people alive, which can come across as treating asexuals as no different from allosexuals.
There seems to be a constant swing between, "Asexuals can like sex," and, "Let's remember sex repulsed asexuals." Both deserve their own conversations and awareness, as well as asexuals who fit somewhere in between the two. I just wish there were less stereotypes and more nuanced conversations.
Thankfully, there already is, I just wish there was more of it is all. And I understand if this post doesn't resonate with the experience of other asexuals. For those who actively enjoy the freaky asexual memes, or memes of the opposite nature, I don't want to shame them for that. Those memes aren't inherently harmful, as far as I know.
Anyway, happy pride month to all asexual people, and anyone else on the ace spectrum! Happy pride month to aromantic people as well, and those on the aro spectrum! Happy pride month to everyone LMAO 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Apologies if this post is incoherent. I tried my best to explain my thoughts, though I'm well aware that my words can come across as confusing sometimes.
I'm personally not that involved with the Bloody Mary crossover, BUT I had some ideas at work that I thought I'd offer to the lovely community 🫶🏻 Apologies in advance if someone else had already come up with these ideas.
Erm um, spoilers for both Iron Lung and Project Hail Mary, of course.
⋆˙⟡ ☾𖤓☽ ⟡˙⋆
.✦ ݁˖ In Project Hail Mary, the stars are in the beginning stages of dying; while in Iron Lung, the stars have already faded, reduced to nothing but ghost light.
There's still hope. The Hail Mary has been sent to Tau Ceti. But, in case things go wrong, preparations must be made. As a plan B, an organization called the Consolidation of Iron, or C.O.I. was formed. If Project Hail Mary failed, Earth would become uninhabitable as the Astrophage slowly killed the sun. A space station would be formed as a new home for humanity.
The Hail Mary never returned to Earth, nor did any probes, and so the mission was assumed to be a failure. The C.O.I. had been successful in their goal to make large space stations as a replacement for Earth. Some people stayed on Earth willingly as the sun faded, while others were forced to stay. The space stations could only hold so many people.
The Hail Mary never returned to Earth, nor did any probes. A ship was sent out (nicknamed The Iron Lung) as a backup. The primary mission is to arrive at Tau Ceti and to complete the Hail Mary's mission. A secondary, and less important, mission is to find the Hail Mary to see what had happened.
✮⋆˙ Grace and Rocky are two different alien species from two different planets. What if Simon wasn't a human, but rather an aquatic alien who was sent on the same mission?
Simon's species is from the blood moon. That's it, that's all I've got LMAO.
Simon's species is either from Planet 4546B or Proteus, for all the Subnautica fans in the community.
That's all I have for now. I'll update this post if I think of anything else to add :]
Grace was a dumb human who couldn't understand that Rocky was pointing when they first came face to "face" on Rocky's ship, but that's unimportant. Rocky is still happy to meet Grace.
Eridian technology is more advanced than human technology, yet Rocky is so excited to see human technology when he boards Grace's ship.
When bridging the gap between their ships, so that they can share a space between them, Rocky does all of the work. Grace's human technology can't allow grace to create himself a livable space within Rocky's ship. But that's okay, because Rocky can do that, so it's okay that Grace can't.
Grace's ship is dirty and messy, but Rocky doesn't look down upon Grace because of it.
I just keep thinking about how, despite Rocky's more "superior" ways as an Eridian, he doesn't seem to feel that way at all. He is fascinated by humans. He wants to see their technology. Learn about Earth and how it's different from Erid. He creates technology so that he can see what Grace sees.
And he loves Grace. So much. Grace is his friend, and he would risk his own life and well-being for his friend. He did risk his own life and well-being. He loves Grace so much and I want to cry.
Gumigoo and his crew were successful in their mission to steal a much needed resource from The Candy Canyon Kingdom. He's still got a long way to go before he can bring it back to his mom, but she's a fighter. He just has to have faith that she'll pull through.
Their break is short lived, however, when he sees an armored vehicle in the distance. The Princess sent someone after them. They get back in their tanker as the chase begins.
Throughout the chase, Gumigoo and his small crew attempt to shake them off. The princess's knights are determined, though, chasing them no matter where they go. Until things go south, and—
Gumigoo falls.
He lands somewhere completely alien to the candy world he knows. And he's alone.
He explores, looking for someone, anyone, in this strange place. It's dark. All of the bright colors of his candy world don't exist here. It only consists of two colors; black and blue.
The walls surrounding him extend as far up as the eyes can see. He just has to follow the path, and he does. Until he finally finds something.
He finds his crew. And the princess. As well as himself. None of these figures move. They're just standing there, unnaturally still. Arms held outwards in an odd pose.
He examines that thing that looks like himself. A perfect replica. It looks just like him. It feels just like him. What is all of this? What's going on? Where is he?
The jester woman is suddenly there with him, falling down just as he had. Maybe she has answers?
Gumigoo: "Where are we? W-What's all this?"
Pomni: "I-I don't know. W-We're somewhere under the map, I think."
Gumigoo: ""Map"? Why aren't you or any of your crew up here?"
Pomni: "I-I'm not sure. Be- Because we're not, uh, NPCs?"
Gumigoo: ""NPCs"? What are you on about? What are you people? What am I? Where's Mum?"
Pomni: "Y-You have a mom?"
Gumigoo: "Shouldn't she be here with everyone else? I can't even remember her face. Did she ever have a face? Was anything ever real?"
Pomni: "Okay, w-w-wait. Don't- Don't think about that. I-I-I think there... must be a way to launch ourselves back up. Right?"
Her presence doesn't help. Everything is just becoming more confusing. She's saying words he doesn't understand. And there isn't one of those things that look like her. Or any of her crew. Or his mom.
His mom.
He can't remember what she looks like. Her face; he can't remember it. All the memories that he thought he had, they're not there. They were never there.
"I want you to tell me exactly what I am."
Gumigoo's story is a great depiction of cosmic horror. He starts off with a bare bones backstory that Caine gave him, as well as a mission to keep his mind occupied. His consciousness begins when the adventure does.
He doesn't question that. He doesn't need to. He knows enough about the world to not think too hard about what he is or where he is.
He's in a world made of candy. He needs maple syrup for his mom. How this candy world works, how this syrup is supposed to help his mom, what his mom is even suffering from; it wasn't planned out. It didn't need to be.
When he ends up below the map, where he's not supposed to be, he stumbles across the character models. He doesn't know what they are or what they're doing there. It'd be similar if someone ended up in the backrooms and found a copy of themself.
Or the belief that the universe is all a computer simulation. That belief is different to Gumigoo's situation, as he doesn't have any concrete memories. He was created for a singular purpose, and everything before or after the goal is achieved is irrelevant.
The show doesn't focus too much on that aspect of Gumigoo's story, and shifts to its theme of connecting with others. Which I don't mind at all, I love it. I just wanted to take time to talk about the cosmic horror aspect of his story, since that's my favorite form of horror.
I noticed this symbol on the headset and recognized it immediately, because I see it on some of the machines where I work.
It's a tiny detail, but I personally believe that it is proof of the theory that the humans in the circus are just digital copies. The laser of the headset most likely scans their brains, then uploads what it reads into a digital file.
Maybe this was obvious to everyone else, and I'm just being a cornball. But still, I think it's a cool detail.

Do Not Interact / Instant Block:
Minors. (20-30 is my preferred age range)
Proship / comship (anyone who ships pedophilia, incest, abuse, beastiality, etc. is not welcome. Selfshippers, Non-Canon shippers, rarepair shippers, OC x Canon shippers, crossover shippers, etc. are welcome).
As long as you're not on my DNI, I'm basically cool with (almost) whatever you want to do for your side of the roleplay.
Looking for someone in the 20-30 age range.
I do double ups!
My ship is OC x canon, MLM, and has a transgender character. Your ship doesn't have to be OC x canon or LGBTQ+, but you do have to be willing to do that for my side of the roleplay.
Must be a literate roleplayer who writes in third person.
Discord is preferred.
Specifics down below ↓
What I'm Looking For ★
Someone within the 20-30 age range. I myself am currently 25 years old, and I'd prefer to have my roleplay partner in a similar age range. I will not make exceptions for anyone under the age of 18.
Someone who is open to OC x canon pairings, as that is what I wish to roleplay. I am doing double ups, and I'm open to doing OC x canon or canon x canon for my partner's side of the roleplay.
Someone who is open to MLM (men loving men) pairings, as well as transgender characters. My OC x canon ship is MLM, my OC is transgender, and I will not change these details to be anything else. For my partner's ship, I am open to any gender and sexuality.
A literate roleplayer who roleplays in the third person. I tend to prefer longer roleplay responses (1 paragraph as a bare minimum).
A long-term, slow burn roleplay. When I say slow burn, I mean slow. The story is about the journey, and I want to take my time getting to the destination. And since I'm looking for a story involving romance, I'd like to build up the relationship first.
Regular responses. Being fully employed, I understand that people have lives outside of roleplaying. That's completely understandable! What isn't understandable is frequent gaps that are 3 or more weeks apart. I try to be patient, but even I have limits.
Someone who can roleplay as Zuko for my OC x canon ship. In return, I'll roleplay any character for your ship. Even Zuko, as they will be separate roleplays. OC x canon, canon x canon, crossover ships, etc. are all welcome!
Not necessarily required, but roleplaying on Discord is heavily preferred. I like to make organized roleplay servers for character sheets, lore, separate roleplay chats, etc.
Not necessarily required, but I would prefer if my roleplay partner is open to darker/mature topics. Triggers are very important to me, so discussions about triggering subject matter is a must.
I am primarily looking for a hurt/comfort roleplay, with an emphasis on comfort and healing. Healing from what, exactly? Childhood trauma. More specifically; child abuse (neglect, emotional and physical), CSA and COCSA, foster care, homophobia, and others I may be forgetting. Each character will have their own separate traumas to overcome.
For my roleplay, the plot I'm most interested in is a modern day, no powers, college AU.
What I can offer
I've been roleplaying for approximately 11 years, so I have experience. Of course I'm not perfect, and I'm always learning about how to improve my writing.
I'm open to constructive criticism in order to give the best roleplay experience! For my partner's side of the roleplay, I'll adjust any aspect to their liking. Response length, a character's behavior, some other third thing. Just be honest with what you want, and you will receive!
If we roleplay on Discord (Discord is heavily preferred), I'll set up an private roleplay server with organized categories and channels.
Double up roleplays. Whether you'd prefer OC x canon or canon x canon doesn't matter to me! I'm willing to do either. For canon x canon, I'll do any ship except: any incest ships, any pedophillic ships, any ships between minors where the age gap is too high (Zuko x Aang for example), anything with beastiality, and anything abusive.
I can roleplay just about any character you want me to, and I'll take as many roles as requested!
For your side of the roleplay, you'll have complete freedom for headcanons, story, lore, whatever you want! It's your roleplay, so I don't see why I should tell you what you get to do. However, if you want some of my ideas or interpretations, feel free to ask!
I'm sure this post is mostly going to attract ATLA fans, since this post is targeted specifically at that community, but if my roleplay partner is more interested in another fandom, I'd be happy to do that fandom for their side of the roleplay. So long as I know enough about the fandom, of course. I have a list on my ToyHouse roleplay page with all of the media I like.
Shipping
Double Ups:
I am very much open to double up roleplays! So long as I get to roleplay my ship, I'll be willing to do any ship you want (so long as it doesn't go against my DNI/not allowed list)!
OC x Canon pairings:
My ship is OC x canon, so OC x canon is a requirement for me. My roleplay partner does not have to do OC x canon for themselves, if they aren't interested in OC x canon.
Canon x Canon pairings:
I'm personally not much of a fan of canon x canon pairings in general, but I'm willing to make exceptions for a roleplay partner, so long as they are willing to do an OC x canon pairing for me. Below I have a list of canon x canon pairings I'm alright with (spoilers: it's most of them). If your CC x CC pair isn't mentioned, feel free to ask about it!
LGBTQ+ pairings:
My OC x canon ship is MLM, and my OC is transgender, so LGBTQ+ topics are required for my side of the roleplay. For my roleplay partner, I'm open to any pairing! WLM, WLW, NBLW, NBLNB, T4T, polyamory, etc. Ask and you shall receive :]
Canon x Canon pairings I will do:
Aang: Aang x Katara, Aang x Toph
Katara: Katara x Aang, Katara x Zuko, Katara x Jet, Katara x Toph, Katara x Yue
Sokka: Sokka x Yue, Sokka x Suki, Sokka x Yue x Suki, Sokka x Zuko, Sokka x Suki x Zuko
Toph: Toph x Aang, Toph x Katara
Suki: Suki x Sokka, Suki x Zuko, Suki x Sokka x Zuko
Zuko: Zuko x Katara, Zuko x Sokka, Zuko x Suki, Zuko x Sokka x Suki, Zuko x Jin, Zuko x Mai, Zuko x Jet
Canon x Canon pairings I'm unsure of:
Azula: Azula x Katara
Canon x Canon pairings I won't do:
Anything pedophillic.
Anything incestuous.
Anything that has grooming.
Anything abusive.
Any ships between minors with a 3+ age gap (Zuko x Aang, for example).

When it comes to genre, I'm open to just about anything for my partner's side of the roleplay. As stated earlier, it's not my roleplay, so I don't make the decisions. The genres highlighted in blue with a star are the genres I am most interested for my side of the roleplay.
Topics & AUs:
Headcanons ★
Canon divergence ★
Super hero AU
No powers AU
Modern AU ★

For my side of the roleplay, I'm primarily interested in a modern day, no powers, college AU.
Triggering Topics
Any sensitive subjects within the roleplay must be handled with respect and represented accurately, whether by research or personal experience.
If there are any topics you're uncomfortable with, please let me know! If we roleplay on Discord, I can send templates for triggers to avoid.
For myself personally, I'm pretty comfortable with just about any topic. I still have boundaries, though. Graphic rape scenes are something I don't want to read or write, as an example.
Crossovers & Other Fandoms
If you're interested in a crossover, or a roleplay for another fandom entirely, I have a list on my ToyHouse of all the media I'm interested in. Keep in mind, while I'm perfectly fine with doing a different fandom for my roleplay partner, I myself am strictly looking for an Avatar: The Last Airbender roleplay.

I have a detailed ToyHouse page for roleplaying right here:
A community for collaborative character creation and trading, worldbuilding and roleplay.
If you don't want to click the link, I'll give the basics down below:
Some of the media that I enjoy:
Subnautica
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Creature Commandos
Dispatch
The Amazing Digital Circus
My Little Pony
These are just a handful of my interests. My ToyHouse page has a much longer list in the "My Interests" tab. Doesn't matter too much, though, as I am primarily looking for an ATLA roleplayer. Though I'm still offering alternative options, just in case.
What I'm looking for:
A long-term, literate roleplay done in the third person perspective.
One on one roleplays. I've tried roleplaying with multiple people, and it has never worked out well (for me personally, anyway).
I am open to most genres, though for roleplaying, I have preferences for romance, slice of life and angst.
I'm interested in an Avatar: The Last Airbender roleplay, with someone who can take the role of Zuko. Though I won't be too picky, and I'll accept other fandoms.
I am an OC x Canon and OC x OC shipper. I personally do not care much for most Canon x Canon pairings. So, I'm interested in doing an OC x Canon double up roleplay, or an OC x OC roleplay. (Note: I can make exceptions for CC x CC roleplayers, so long as they are willing to do OC x CC on my end)
The majority of my OCs are LGBTQ+ in some way, so expect queer relationships on my end. If we are doing double ups on OC x Canon pairings, your ship doesn't have to be LGBTQ+. Just know that mine will be.
Someone who has a discord, so that either one of us can set up a private server. Not a requirement, however. Just a preference.
Rules:
Breaking my DNI is an instant block.
If the roleplay is NSFW, all characters MUST be 18+.
Many of my OCs stories include traumatic themes. I am willing to adjust certain aspects to keep everyone comfortable, just let me know if anything needs to be changed. I would prefer someone who is open to serious subject matter, but it is not a requirement.
If serious topics are involved, they must be handled with respect and care. NO sexualization, romanticization or trauma porn.
This is my sona, Cove! As well as my two Instagram accounts. I accidentally watermarked my alt account when I posted this on my Instagram account, so I decided I'd share both of my Insta accounts here
