Hopeless romantic arospec culture is wondering "am I genuinely romantically attracted to this person, or do I like them for some other reason, and I just want to do cute, couple-y things with someone, not necessarily them, and this other type of attraction to them is just the closest I got to feeling the way people describe romantic attraction?"

unimaginable emotions rush through me as my dad came to me to suggest I use AI in my work as I was drawing I just HAD to draw it out to try and describe what I just felt in just milliseconds.

so much so it fueled me with energy I've ever felt for drawing ever. so I guess I should thank him lmao

[aro-culture-is]

arospec culture is maybe being attracted to someone but thinking "is this a rare instance of me being romantically attracted to someone, or do I just think this person is really, really cool, and it's actually [insert other form of attraction here]?"

Hellooossss I have listened to an incredible song and just really want to share it's a bit depressing but it's still worth a listen!!!!!

The song is: Kingsley Scanlon - brain cancer

ngl my brain skipped the part where you said it was going to be depressing so my first impression was the song title. and when I listened to it all emotions I could experience was like water rising slowly until the top of my head.

good recommend, good recommend.

i wanna know other fictional characters who were popularly fanon considered as agender but all ive got are Laios from Delicious Dungeon and Ryland Grace. anyone got some suggestions?

[graynide]

getting into project hail mary and seeing a majority of fans labeling Ryland Grace as aroace agender got me thinking like, "whoa maybe I'm aroace agender too."

Just read The Strange Case of Harley and Harleen and my god I needed a little bit of positive plurality in my life this week.

The way Pam and Harl's relationship adapts to accept the Harley/Harleen split makes my heart swell.

The way Pam sees the difference between her girlfriends.

And assures her that she accepts and loves all sides of her.

And does what she can to accommodate Harleen's memory holes.

The core relationship of this book is just so sweet and positive in accepting things as they are without judgment or pushing. Just acceptance and love.

And after finding that in our own life, I know what a powerfully positive thing it can be.

But the Harley/Harleen relationship is well handled too. There's friction and denial at the start but the two develop and trust one another by the end and Harley takes a seat as my favorite kind of character, the morally ambiguous protector.

I love the way Harley's protectiveness of Harleen is depicted and how she tries so hard to keep her from interacting with the criminal underworld of Gotham.

It's just saccharine and kind.

Highly recommend the book to anyone who just wants soft and kind plurality vibes. Heaven knows the majority of the fiction involving split personalities are flooded with angst and darkness and though this book contains a few dark plot beats like DV it never feels painful or sorrow inducing.

I'm so happy I read it.

Since Rocky and Grace have access to a ton of video games on the Hail Mary, I figured eventually they'd play Just Dance during their trip to Erid
