Ship: Jon/Martin

----

Martin forms a ritual of bringing Jon tea, day after day.

It's no surprise then, that after some time, their fingers accidentally brush. Initially, Jon isn't even aware that it had even happened, mistaking Martin's warmth for that of the tea, and thanking him without another thought. It's not until a few minutes later, halfway through the mug, that they realize what had happened.

Against their better judgement, the next time Martin brings tea, it isn't an accident when Jon's fingers brush his.

Found several packs' worth of pokemon cards strewn across a target parking lot and took a pic to show my friends without realizing how much my outfit elevated the scene to "aftermath of a wizard duel"

#one weird counterintuitive aspect of being asexual #is that im more open to kinky or weird shit #im not HAVING kinky or weird sex it's all theoretical

Hey @rosierugosa I hope it’s okay that I stole your tags because YES.

Because sexual desire is so weird and alien to me, personally, I find myself more accepting of weird and alien sex: I’m definitely not a monsterfucker in that I don’t wanna fuck the monster, but I fully accept and respect all monsterfucking because hey, sex in general -- straight, gay, or otherwise! -- is already so weird to me. Wanting to fuck Chad McDude down the street is just as strange to me as wanting to fuck the mothman. So my attitude is...go for it, I guess! Here’s a water bottle.

[houseofglass]

*pulls a water bottle from the cooler*

I never thought of it that way, but yeah. As a teen I was mystified at how anyone would just want to have sex with someone, like that was the goal. I understood getting off, sure, but to want to with the guy in chem class because he’s hot? Weird.

*hands over the water bottle*

Anyway, to each their own.

[stele3]

*gets out some orange slices*

And like, reducing hypersexuality in the queer community is an important conversation. We are more than our sexualities, all of us! Asexuals know that better than anyone. As such we should absolutely have spaces in our community where sex is de-emphasized. But for many people in the world sex is a natural part of their lives and what has, in the past, set the queer community apart is frank and open discussion of sexuality instead of shame. We should be trying to help the straight world adopt that frank openness instead of trying to assimilate into shame.

*restocks the lube counter*

[lastoneout]

*shows up 15 minutes late with a cooler full of gatorade*

Also don't forget about sex neutral and sex favorable asexuals! Asexuality, like most things, is a spectrum, and we tend to get left out of discussions regarding asexuality or boiled down to gotchas regarding ace people being in relationships with non-asexuals, but we exist and aren't any less asexual because of our decision(whatever the reasoning behind it may be) to have sex!

We are also just as tired of asexuality being used as a scapegoat for attacking kink in the queer community, since that attitude not only is bigoted bs, but it hinges on the assumption that ace people who have and enjoy sex just don't exist, which, news flash, we do!

Plus a lot of us are very kinky, just sayin', so when you support sex and kink as a natural part of the queer experience you're not just helping your fellow queer allosexuals, you're helping people within the asexual community as well!

Anyway there really are tons of reasons ace people understand why we shouldn't police what people do in the bedroom, and ace people across the spectrum don't want to nor should be used as a cover for anti-kink bullshit. It hurts us just as much as it hurts everyone else.

[senoraconstelacionesdeinvierno]

I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

How Many More Times Can We Say It? Your Harry Potter Addiction Is Funding Transphobia

When one person can give £70,000 to a hate group's legal funds, maybe it's time to bin the Dobby plushies.

[rubikanon]

Here's your periodic reminder of why it's so important not to buy any Harry Potter merch or watch anything JKR profits from.

It isn't about cancelling problematic media, idgaf. We're capable of reading books we already own with a critical eye.

It's about not giving more power to someone who is using it to materially harm our community.

[ovenroastedtwerkey]

And yes that includes that shitty video game, yes that includes the Lego sets, yes it includes visiting the theme park. Stop giving Transphobia Georg money.

[beforeviolets]

also can we once again please mention directly that it’s more than transphobia?? that “shitty video game” is, yes, shitty!! but also was made by right wing developers whose pockets are also being lined by that game and it’s been called out by jews for being so so so so SO antisemitic all over the internet.

it’s often known colloquially as the jew hunting game within spaces ive seen.

this is bigger than just the harm towards trans people. and I say this as a trans jew.

[toskarin]

one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does

[toskarin]

pirating all of your music and then buying a hat or something four times a year still makes you pull significantly ahead of the person who streams thousands of songs every year. it's not really a fair or good system for anyone

[imsobadatnicknames2]

What a good post to reblog on bandcamp friday. Remember that any money you spend on albums on bandcamp today goes 100% to the artist.

[marxistcomedy]

describing someone else smoking weed at a concert as “forcing nonconsensual drug use” is kinda funny but like. and i say this as a smoker. many places have banned indoor smoking for good reason. i know why people like to smoke inside in that kind of setting but if the venue provides an accessible smoking section its a dick move not to use it. maybe not making the venue a hostile atmosphere for anyone with an allergy or breathing concern isn’t “cool” but insisting on your right to smoke in people’s faces is embarrassingly red scare imo

[marxistcomedy]

like again i get that it’s not cool and chill and a concert is a specific kind of public social event with a wide range of behaviours that you are just going to have to buckle in for and not be too precious about. but i do think about that woman in ontario who applied for maid because she literally couldn’t get adequately smoke free housing on disability. and i think it’s not that hard to make accommodations like smoking in an outdoor smoking section to allow disabled people to participate in public life. the compromise of having decent public spaces that specifically allow for smoking so it isn’t ubiquitous doesn’t seem impossible to me

Happy international women’s day!

We will never forget the Palestinian struggle - for Palestinian women both fighting settler colonialism in their homeland and beyond to the Palestinian diaspora. 🇵🇸🇵🇸

[evilsanlang]

day barely even started and I already had to hear "thank you for being our wives, sisters, aunts" and "keep being women and giving birth and being delicate unlike us men" as compliments for international women's day

here's to women being transgender childless dykes forever and ever and ever

[problemnyatic]

"xyz DNI" blocking people is YOUR job, sorry. You cannot ask the world to simply move around you, you have to take control of your online experience or you will be fucking miserable forever. Most people don't read your bio/pinned/carrd before touching the posts that cross their dash anyways.

Also maybe worry less about if someone who likes something you hate clicks on your tumblr post. I promise it is not that fucking serious.

Also-also if you have this DNI because your friends/moots said or implied you have to otherwise you're somehow Bad and/or will be punished by them if you don't, that's kind of fucked and maybe you need less controlling friends.

[problemnyatic]

I know you feel ethically helpless on this bitch of an earth but I promise you, telling people with certain fetishes or god forbid media interests not to interact with your posts is doing less than nothing to make the world any different, but it IS stressing you the fuck out to be worried about if the clicks you get on the internet are coming from someone who likes to imagine The Wrong Fictional Characters kissing.

For the love of god, shipping is not that fucking important. I promise you, whatever the fuck you think you know about someone based on what they ship can be determined by the shit they actually do in the real world about real things that actually happen.

Media consumption is not activism and fandom is not the battleground upon which Ethics And Morals will live or die. It is playing pretend. Please please please get some perspective

[transspeciesguy]

Hi not to fear-monger but if the bird flu becomes an issue in the US in the next 4 years, the government will not help us.

Trump is already withholding information from the C.D.C about the latest cases of the bird flu in the US from the public.

If this becomes a pandemic, it will be our job to keep each other safe.

Covid is not over, and the bird flu is seemingly on the rise.

Wear a mask.

[feygaleh]

israel’s military and government has known for 300+ days that the bibas family was dead and used the faces of BABIES to promote and justify their genocide. how fucking morbid. i wish the family and friends of family a very safe healing journey

[stoptheantisemitism]

Actually it gets worse. The name and condition of the hostages was given to Israel well ahead of time. In fact in Nov of 2023 senior Hamas officials told Israel that the family died and even offered to return them at that time as part of negotiations. Numerous news organizations even reported on this. Heres one I validated myself

Hamas's offer was met with radio silence.

So not only has Israel known this for over a year. They've continued to post about the Bibas family on social media as if they were still ALIVE!?!?

My guess is that Israel has no intention to keep this ceasefire and are looking for ways and excuses to restart the genocide.

I'm also willing to get there are going to be many false flag operations that get carried out in the coming days.

[themilfking]

Israel killing their own and then blaming Hamas isn't new (see: Hannibal Directive ) but man it's so gross that they suppressed this information so they could manufacture consent and kill more Palestinians.

And the timeline here tracks too.

Historically Israel has always amplified its violence/aggression on Palestinians around Ramadan which is about a week away.

[werethropy]

"The nonbinary afab who goes by she/her, dresses femininely, and uses a push-up bra when I—" when you what? What's wrong with her?

Is she not nonbinary enough for you? Is the way she experiences her queerness and how she presents not perfect enough for you? Nonbinary people don't owe you androgyny, right? So why is she the exception? Why does she have to hate herself to appeal to your standards? Why is she any less trans—any less worthy of respect—cause it's "not visible"? Queer solidarity my ass. Don't spout this bullshit on Pride, man.
