(After some time)
Been wanting to do a comic on Wendy finding out she’s on the aromantic spectrum, specifically Lithromantic, after really liking the idea of her being Lithro. Included Stan as well since I headcanon him as Lithro as well so Wendy has someone who understands.
This is validating for fellow Graphic Novel Game and Dating Sim Players, right?
Like... I've been identifying as #demisexual for years now, but that definitely hit me from an angle I didn't expect.
Mind, I've been widowed- I felt very traumatized by it, and I haven't officially dated in almost 7+ years now. I figured this was a trauma-response due to being afraid of a committed relationship because tragedy could strike. But looking back..? I remember moments that I felt I was a glorified friend to my late husband, sometimes the spark wasn't there. I adored the man, don't get me wrong- I thought he hung the moon. I figured this was me being Asexual and not realizing it at the time (I did not research the LGBTQ+ nearly as much as I did back then; figured knowing I was Bi was enough. I was wrong lol).
Real people's feelings spook me now. But Fantasy/Simulated/Constructed people don't. Its safe, it's kinda-sorta para-social, and absolutely one sided.
I'm not all the way sure Lithromantic describes me, but, I'm starting to think it's pretty close.
