58 tiny cats in a trench coat

yeah hi, I'm a minor. I'd appreciate it if grown adults didn't interact with my account. leave me the fuck alone. if I post NSFW stuff on here it's not serious, it's a god damn joke

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Someone who knows that silence can be just as fun as sound so they're only ever in a hurry to say something if the silence has ceased to be fun and is only in a hurry to be say nothing if sound has ceased to be fun

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Someone who looks up at night and thinks "how many stars are there?" But instead of counting they say it out loud as if they're asking the sky and then when they get no response they respect the silence of their surroundings and wait until sunrise when there's other things to ask the sky

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

NONE OF THIS SHOULD'VE FUCKING HAPPENED. I COULD'VE PREVENTED ALL OF THIS. ALL OF THIS FUCKING PAIN COULD'VE BEEN STOPPED BEFORE IT EVEN STARTED. That's it. If someone else asks me out I'm automatically saying no I don't give a shit if I like them I'm not giving myself up for heartbreak like that anymore

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Update: never fucking mind. I'm going to flirt with one person in particular and see where that goes if it doesn't work out whatever I saw it coming, if it does, yay for me I got myself a partner. They might move tho which would defeat the point of me flirting with them since the whole fucking reason I've decided not to give up on finding another partner is because I also wanted to date someone who lives near by because cuddles are poggers

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Another update: I think it's going well, we almost kissed last night. So far it's platonic but for some reason I'm okay with that, which is unusual for me

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Uhm- yeah we've almost kissed several times now and at this point the flirting is at fake dating level so since brain go happi chemical at flirting because funny, brain trick itself into catch feelings. Also it's a running joke that our friend doesn't know if we f*cked or not when they went to get monster

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Hehe- we're in an open relationship now and I'm dating Mouse and perhaps I might also have the opportunity to date Bunny if my theory is correct

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

"if we were characters in a show people would probably think our friendship is very homoerotic" -me

"idk what that means" -Bunny

"it means they would think we're secretly gay for each other" -me

"i mean we probably are we're just not ready to admit it yet" -Bunny

"honestly yeah"- me

That was on July 29th, they've been grounded since may 13th and he's allowed to go back into town in a week or so. I don't have a plan on how to figure out if they like me or not but he's acting like it so-

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

My theory is correct. Uh- idk what to do now.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

We're dating now ✨

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

I'm sorry.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

No I'm not- well actually I am but I also hate them because they literally traumatized me so I am sorry but I take back the apology.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Soooo I like this guy at my school, I'm going to call him wolf. I put a cool rock on his desk yesterday and I think he put it in his backpack, so now I'm going to just start giving him cool little trinkets I find and see where it goes

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Oh boy do I have one hell of a story for you-

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Okay so- I met this guy through a mutual friend, the night we started talking he came over and uh- we made out behind a garage building in my apartment complex, we dated for a bit but he wasn't really up for polyamory anymore so we broke up and stayed friends, a few days after this he started flirting with me, a lot, so I play into it, later I find out this dude has a new boyfriend, so I'm just like- first of all, fuck you, second, fuck your boyfriend, not me. We still continued talking, and we're besties now.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Then in November, this kid in my social studies class messaged me on Instagram so we started talking a bit, we started dating the next day because I let him follow my alt account, and he started flirting with me and I liked it, we end up not talking to each other in person at all even though that's how we met, and all we really did is flirt over text, so imagine my surprise when he fucking blocked me on Friday and I haven't talked to him since

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Omg okay so also there's this ship account on Instagram run by a kid at my school, apparently this kid likes me, but they're also disgusted by me because of what I post on my alt account, so apparently they sent one of my videos to the school I go to but I haven't heard anything about it from my parents so I doubt it. But they've been making the entire grade uncomfortable and not respecting people's boundaries, so that's going to make school pretty interesting

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Update on the dude I met through the mutual friend, he blocked me. So- that's fun-

And then the guy who I thought had blocked me, didn't, and now he's in my discord server.

And I installed an app that's essentially a dating app for teenagers so I met some people on there, it's fun but after a bit the conversations kinda die off

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Alright 1st dude still gone

2nd turned out to be a dick so I don't talk to him anymore

Dating app was a fluke

And now I'm dating someone

.....

how

How did I end up in a relationship, even though most of my attempts to not be single anymore were failures??? Is it because every time I say I'm not going to date anymore, the universe says "fuck you" and then I'm just bestowed with either the crustiest man alive and relentless attraction to him regardless of how gross he is, or someone absolutely amazing that I don't deserve but love very much.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

HOLY SHIT

OH BOY

HELLO

IM 15 NOW

And I'm not dating anyone

But hey, at least I've got simps/hj

[deepestfriendgoophero]

Gentle reminder here that there are elder queers out there. Real elders, people in their 80s and 90s who survived, who are here. You can get there, old age does exist for us.

I know an old lesbian couple who have been married since the moment they legalized it. One woman can hardly walk anymore but she loves Hallmark ornaments, so her wife supports her against her walker during Christmas so she can look at them more easily.

I know a transgender man who started transitioning only 10 years ago at 60, and he's brilliant and funny and brings his grandchildren by to get sweets.

I know an asexual woman who, beamed and told me she absolutely loved not having a husband, and that she "never once regretted not getting married. I never felt that way about anybody! Why force it?" She lives with her parrot and loves salsa dancing.

Our elders exist. So many of us have been wiped out and erased on purpose, but we're here. And that means you can get there. When you're old and grey, when you're retired and done, there will be people who will love you and will care for you.

[genderqueerpositivity]

"There's no effective route to equality as long as one particular way of being is framed as the one ‘normal’ and ‘natural’ way of being,” says Nick Walker. 

Walker is a self-described “flamingly autistic” author, webcomic writer and psychology professor. She’s also one of the originators of the term “neuroqueer”—the practice of “subverting neuronormativity,” or the idea that there isn’t one right way to have a human brain.   

Mainstream models of autism don’t map onto a queer experience of gender. Yet there’s a rich tradition of trans autistics doing this mapping themselves. Walker’s neuroqueerness—which involves embracing and making cultural space for neurodivergent ways of being as part of what she calls “the war for self-determination and for liberation from compulsory normativity”—is one model. So is Lydia X.Z. Brown’s famous definition of themself as “gendervague”: given how entangled gender is with social cues, Brown wrote, even many more-or-less cis autistics “can’t make heads or tails of either the widespread assumption that everyone fits neatly into categories of men and women or the nonsensical characteristics expected or assumed of womanhood and manhood.” 

This work posits ways to be queerly autistic or autistically queer. It allows for the possibility that the two experiences might enhance each other—that maybe, the further out you get from “normal,” the more liberatory your vision can be."

Jude Ellison S. Doyle, "Divergent: The emerging research on the connection between trans identities and neurodivergence"

why can’t NTs just. listen

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

I think it's funny making people so upset that they block me for being correct. Like- I've successfully made this random troll pissed off enough at me that they used their precious block list space, on me of all people, some teenager that does this shit for entertainment.

[sonechkaandthedynamos]

what language did you learn in school and can you actually speak it?

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

In kindergarten we had both Chinese and Spanish but after that year they had to cut Chinese from the curriculum because they didn't have anyone that was actually fluent to teach it, then from 1st to 5th it was just Spanish, then my language of choice in 6th and 7th grade was Chinese and in my free time I tried to learn German, and now I'm in Spanish class, and I'm still only fluent in English, actually I can't even have a very short conversation in another language, all I can say are like 3 word sentences that don't make any sense

They might move tho which would defeat the point of me flirting with them since the whole fucking reason I've decided not to give up on finding another partner is because I also wanted to date someone who lives near by because cuddles are poggers

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Another update: I think it's going well, we almost kissed last night. So far it's platonic but for some reason I'm okay with that, which is unusual for me

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Uhm- yeah we've almost kissed several times now and at this point the flirting is at fake dating level so since brain go happi chemical at flirting because funny, brain trick itself into catch feelings. Also it's a running joke that our friend doesn't know if we f*cked or not when they went to get monster

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Hehe- we're in an open relationship now and I'm dating Mouse and perhaps I might also have the opportunity to date Bunny if my theory is correct

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

"if we were characters in a show people would probably think our friendship is very homoerotic" -me

"idk what that means" -Bunny

"it means they would think we're secretly gay for each other" -me

"i mean we probably are we're just not ready to admit it yet" -Bunny

"honestly yeah"- me

That was on July 29th, they've been grounded since may 13th and he's allowed to go back into town in a week or so. I don't have a plan on how to figure out if they like me or not but he's acting like it so-

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

My theory is correct. Uh- idk what to do now.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

We're dating now ✨

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

I'm sorry.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

No I'm not- well actually I am but I also hate them because they literally traumatized me so I am sorry but I take back the apology.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Soooo I like this guy at my school, I'm going to call him wolf. I put a cool rock on his desk yesterday and I think he put it in his backpack, so now I'm going to just start giving him cool little trinkets I find and see where it goes

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Oh boy do I have one hell of a story for you-

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

Okay so- I met this guy through a mutual friend, the night we started talking he came over and uh- we made out behind a garage building in my apartment complex, we dated for a bit but he wasn't really up for polyamory anymore so we broke up and stayed friends, a few days after this he started flirting with me, a lot, so I play into it, later I find out this dude has a new boyfriend, so I'm just like- first of all, fuck you, second, fuck your boyfriend, not me. We still continued talking, and we're besties now.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

NONE OF THIS SHOULD'VE FUCKING HAPPENED. I COULD'VE PREVENTED ALL OF THIS. ALL OF THIS FUCKING PAIN COULD'VE BEEN STOPPED BEFORE IT EVEN STARTED. That's it. If someone else asks me out I'm automatically saying no I don't give a shit if I like them I'm not giving myself up for heartbreak like that anymore

[jauntylittlefrillyboy]

Now, I’m not saying romantic relationships are inferior, or that they’re useless, or that you being in one or that you shipping some characters romantically is Bad or something off the walls like that. What I’m saying is that two people (or characters, since we’re talking shipping here) can be just as devoted to each other, love each other just as deeply, mean just as much to each other while being in a platonic relationship. The end point of caring about someone doesn’t have to be romance.

Friendship isn’t a stepping stone between strangers and romantic partners, it’s a different path. And you can follow that path as deep into the wood as a romantic one if you want, and neither is inferior to the other, they just have different views.

[jack-o-lanternbeingweirdagain]

I have a friend who I'm actually dating platonically, because our feelings for each other are completely platonic but they're much more than my typical friendships. At one point we were dating romantically but after a while we realized we didn't actually feel that way about each other, it was just really strong friendship. She's definitely my favorite friend I have, and I don't normally pick favorites. It's funny how it works, he is almost completely aroace, but I'm not, and we feel the exact same way for each other, I didn't even know how it felt to date someone platonically before I met him but I'm glad I found out because my relationship with her makes us both very happy. Anyways moral of the story, op is correct, romantic relationships aren't superior or inferior to platonic ones, and platonic relationships can be just as loving as romantic ones.
