humans are so lucky and privileged to be able to have creativity and create art. a shame more and more people are choosing to let ai/robot rob them the joy of creating

It's not common, but every so often I run across a baby mouse that has crawled into a discarded peanut shell. It's usually body armor but sometimes it can be headgear also.

I call them Peanut Knights. This fuzzy has a quite stylish open-face helmet!

Here she is without her helmet:

„Jest wiele rzeczy gorszych niż zakończenie lata, ale nie ma niczego smutniejszego. Koniec lata jest smutniejszy niż koniec świata — bo cały świat nie jest dobry i piękny, a całe lato takie właśnie jest; bo świat może skończyć się tylko raz, a koniec lata będzie zasmucać rokrocznie, aż skończy się świat. Bo wraz z końcem świata, skończę się ja i skończysz się ty, a kiedy kończy się lato, ja wracam do stateczności betonowych sześcianów, a ty zostajesz w rozkładzie jesieni, w dynamicznym cyklu pór roku”.

so im doing my thesis on amatonormativity in books right, and rn im reading through research on ace and aro identities as part of it. and i am so genuinely tired of aromanticism being always mentioned next to asexuality but almost never (at least in what i've managed to find so far) as you know. its own thing. i get the connections and all that, but can every researcher please stop assuming that every aro person is also ace. and can aromanticism be its own topic for like 5 minutes. im here to write a few pages on this so i can show that i know what im talking about but it's personal to me and i keep having to cut off my ranting. i am not writing this shit to argue with those people. i would like to, but sadly i have a lot of other more interesting things to talk about and if i start going on about aro/aroallo erasure we're not gonna get to those things in a long while, and if i start bringing up the discourse online we're gonna be here even longer

it's personal and upsetting because being aromantic is an important aspect of me and my sexuality is also an important aspect of me and genuinely i feel like i dont get to keep both at the same time in a lot of spaces. im a writer, both fanfic and original stuff, and i am always anxious about how the relationships in my works will be interpreted. i tried to write aro characters and/or platonic relationships with sex involoved and often they have been interpreted as romantic in some aspects anyway. i get that people enjoy romance - i enjoy romance ao3 history be my witness - but id also like for them to not make it the main focus where it is not.

this post is being sponsored by my frustration at lack of academic resources on aromanticism available to me that aren't actually about asexuality + my frustration writing platonic relationships. i am however aware that theres a wonderful community that does in fact get me and writes amazing fic (hello once again ao3 history) and thinks a similar way. it just gets so tiring when trying to engage in academic discourse, especially since english isnt my native language and trying to research this stuff in my first language is like heres two articles about it and both are treating being aro as an afterthought
