TLDR; adulthood has supplied me with more understanding of myself than I thought possible, but the journey is not over.
As a Trans-Nonbinary AroAce, I'll admit, I do kinda like collecting labels, and to say I'll never pick up or drop any of them would be a lie. I'm a fluid human being, as we all are, and like most people, most of these labels came about in different ways, because like any good human being, I do not in fact have the same experiences as everyone else, though I will say relating to other peoples experiences definitely helped, from introducing the label for the[my] first time, or expanding on a label in a way that just made sense.
Chronologically, Ace, or asexual, was my first label, though it ended up kinda grinding up against a Bisexual label I also carried for a while that morphed into Bi-romantic as my understanding of differing attractions changed. Being Ace just made sense to me, I'd never connected sexual attraction as being literal. I thought it was one of those things that toed the line between metaphor and reality, the things I didn't really get for completely separate reasons. Despite that I ended up in my first serious sexual relationship right outta highschool and without going into it I figured out fairly quickly that sex really doesn't appeal to me, nevermind my "crush" turned boyfriend finally giving me the attention I thought would give me what had been touted as a perfect bond. I'll touch on that a bit later.
After that relationship ended, I found myself a little out of my depth so to speak, I was stuck with getting over the 2ish years I'd spent with that first boyfriend, and between the pressure of feeling like I needed to fill a hole and some friends doing matchmaking, I fell into a fairly temporary thing that I ended up buillding up the courage to end before I felt trapped. But after all that I ended up getting together with my then single roommate.
Skip forward a few years and I'd find my Nonbinary label though a group of gender-non-conforming friends. This was actually where I really stepped into the community, going to pride parades and feeling like those labels were really ME. Since then I've really vibed with being nonbinary, cause I don't really feel like I fit in one gender or the other, but I enjoy gender expression and exploring that aspect of my life. Over time I looked at other, more specific labels under the umbrella, but nothing really stood out as being ME, and that's totally fine!
the Bi-romantic label lost it's luster, not because I don't like attractive people, but just not like that either. It was a slow-burn reaction, but my roommate turned boyfriend, turned back into a roommate I shared a bed with. I logically know relationships take work, but I've learned that no human does something without some kind of positive reward and paired with my tendancy to hyperfixate, plus all the learned expectations and such I had began to unpack and retire for my mental health, I picked up Aromanticism and took a good look into it, which thanks to the internet is so easy to do, and.... damn that train of thought kinda got off the rails. The point I'm trying to make is any "crush" I ever had was a product of me hyperfixating on another person and trying to crush it into what I thought a crush was supposed to look like. I still hyperfixate on people, which as an introvert only happens with people I regularily come into contact with(which in school is really easy cause there is that contact constantly and consistantly), and it doesn't happen to every person I call a friend, but yeah, when I can wrangle that hyperfixation into a productive friendship, that is where it really makes me feel things. When I realised that attraction, as a general concept, was simply that to me, cause I don't feel it often, if ever, I embraced it.
The Trans label is a new addition, one I've looked at enough times to claim. I claim it now because I feel it speaks to my journey of self discovery, not simply because I am not the same gender as I was assigned at birth or because I plan to transition physically, but because my view of myself as a person has changed. I feel confident for the first time in my life to say, "Yeah, this is who I am," I still am working on dispelling the heavy fog of self doubt and self loathing, but the fact I have something, those self-picked labels, that I acknowledge as myself has helped.
These revelations are personal, but like anyone on the internet, I figured that maybe by tossing my experiences into the void, that maybe some other soul will read them and something will click. Some piece will come into focus, giving a better perspective. It's wishful thinking, being in my tiny little corner of the internet, but hey, why not, right?

First things first, did you have a good year? Like most years, it has had it's trials, but I've made progress and that's good

What was your favorite movie of the year? I can count the number of movies I actually saw on one hand, none in theaters, but I think the best one was probably Oxygen, really neat premise and pretty solid execution
Did an actor/actress catch your attention for the first time this year? No, I treat celebrities like friends of friends or friends, I barely know their names, am aware they exist, but have no interest in catching up with them
Favorite new TV show? Witcher cause that's the last thing that crossed into my sphere of interest
Which new ship/fandom has taken over a lot of your time, attention, and tears? nothing new, but Kiri-baku[bnha] still holds my attention

Longtime readers might remember a time when we had up trading adverts with other webcomics on the site. One of these was the amazing (and still well worth the read) Go Get A Roomie (which has since concluded and is now re-running). Welp, in those years since, the amazing and talented Clover has been
I’ve been doing a lot of introspection lately, especially when it comes to my love and how it factors into my various relationships, especially since I’ve picked up the Aro label to wear for now. I honestly can say I haven’t been able to really suss it out very well, cause my feelings DON’T fit neatly into a box, but then I read this comic, and things seem to make more sense now, of nothing else, the analogy of planets certainly vibes well with me.
Either way, Oh Joy Sex Toy is such a wonderful comic, not only do they reviews of cool and interesting sex toys, hence the name, but they dig deep into anything and everything about sex, love, and even identity! Plus they feature plenty of great guest artists! If you don’t mind animated NSFW, then check out their stuff!
New reblog game: run your url through the neural blender and post it
strong summer vibes for sure
Okay I actually love it. Looks like the Ancients or something
Not sure what else I expected, honestly.
Horrifying
hmmm don’t like that
I kinda like it
It's a party!!! :D
absolutely terrifying. I kinda like it

can y’all just… like or reblog if y’all are polyam-safe blogs
I wrote a new thing!
Its another self indulgent, Explicit, NSFW work, but its writing! You can go check it out here. It is inspired by the wonderful art of @syblatortue and I don't think the specific piece of inspiration is on tumblr anymore, but check out their twitter for the art in question, it's a treat I promise.
Check out my writing!
I have posted one thing lately and it was p*rn without plot, but all my previous works are still hanging around on my Ao3!
I've had very little inspiration, but I have been itching to write lately so if y'all want some fanfiction goodness, make a request! All the fandoms I write for are on my rules post, but if I've posted content for a fandom, I probably will write for it too!
Floral Curtain
random color palettes are my jam! Finger painting is messy and fun!
I may not be the best at art in general, but I've had a lot of fun making it anyway.
Honest mixing my colors before I even touch the canvas is my favorite part. I get to take the paints I have and make whole new colors to work with! plus when I randomize it, I never know what colors I'm gonna get.
Midnight Drive-by
Another randomized color palette, but this time I used brushes.
Nightmare Chaos
I made this with a randomized color palette and blindfolded finger painting!
I did solidify the border, added a couple little bits post production to make it look a bit more solid, but overall I think it's pretty neat!
Kirishima Eijirou aka Red Riot!
Everyone's favorite himbo brought to life! I had so much fun building this and wearing it! I made a few tweaks since these photos, but I stayed tried and true to his manly spirit.
Dahlia from Monster Prom!
Have I ever mentioned how much I love buff characters?
Dahlia is a fav of mine, and I was super happy when she got to be romancible in Monster Prom 2:Summer Camp.
General Amaya from The Dragon Prince!
The most crafting intensive cosplay I have done by far, one of the hardest to wear cause I can't really sit, but by far one of my favorite I have done so far!
General Amaya was one of my favorite characters in The Dragon Prince, strong, loyal, smart, and notably disabled, she kicks ass and brings the best sass.
