if your response to, “I wish there was more sex repulsed asexual representation,” is to point out not all aces are sex repulsed, maybe first stop and ask yourself why you are doing that. We live in a society that’s constantly telling us we need to have sex and I’m so glad there are aces who aren’t bothered by that, but it doesn’t invalidate those of us that do not want to. This isn’t a competition, I want to see all kinds of aces, being upset with a lack of respect for sex repulsed aces doesn’t mean I think the rep that’s already there for sex positive aces should be changed. I am capable of wanting both, why aren’t you?

Omg and romance repulsed aros too please 😣

I’ve been struggling w writing so I’m just gonna pitch a bunch of scenarios with a sex-averse John bc we need more content.

[princessraptor]

I mean. I might be persuaded to write something. 👀

[justatiredghost]

PLEASE 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Sex-averse Jonathan absolutely sure that Martin won’t be interested anymore once he comes out to him. Not that he doubts his character in any way, he just thinks he couldn’t possibly be enough as he is. He’s made peace with it, and really it’s for the best, because everyone around him dies and he just wants Martin to be safe and happy. 

But then he tells him and it changes absolutely nothing and he’s so confused. Here is someone who genuinely loves him and he hardly knows what to do with any of this. Except he does, because he has so much love to give and he’s had nowhere to put it for so long and he’s so grateful he can give it all to Martin now.

Sex-averse John who forgets most people expect it to be a part of most romantic relationships. He and Martin already have enough to worry about though so it never really comes up. Then they’re half way across the apocalypse when John remembers and just blurts it out.

“Do you want to have sex?”

“You bring this up now? No!”

“No , I don’t mean now. Just, in general. Because I don’t.”

And then they have to have this incredibly personal conversation while traveling through the horrors, talking about boundaries and reassuring each other.

s4 finale spoilers but—

wouldn’t it have been really funny if Jonah’s ritual didn’t work? Like, a huge point of the show is that these things can’t be put into boxes, they are constantly overlapping and intermingling. The Fears are practically infinite, everything a person could conceivably be afraid of could count, it would be impossible to get someone marked by every single one. It just would have been a really funny way to end the show. Anyway I wrote a fic where that happened

Gilded Teafling design reveals!! So excited, these look so cool

[justatiredghost]

in ep 146, John makes a “woosh” noise as a descriptor. Did he learn that from Basira?? That is so cute if so

[tied-to-the-mast]

"Sorry, what's 'whoosh?'"

(I GOT IT!! IT'S MAG 123!!!)

I’ll never forget my experience of first listening to The Magnus Archives because we have this serious dour man who dismisses all of these cases as ridiculous regardless of how invested and sincere he sounded while reading them. And I’m like, okay, he’s the only window into this world we have, maybe he’s right. But then a couple episodes later he reveals that Jane Prentiss is actually truly real and well documented and they need to notify the authorities immediately if it isn’t too late already, and I’m left there like, what??? The worm sex episode is the one you believe??? And it’s the first clue you get that John isn’t what he seems, he really believes more of this than he is letting on and you realize that there is so much more going on here than we could ever guess.

Some Jonathan Sims pose ideas bc I can’t draw but I never stop thinking about him

[justatiredghost]

I’m really sorry I haven’t updated any fic lately, I didn’t mean to leave two short ones hanging at the end. I’ve just been having a hard time lately and haven’t been able to write anything I’m even remotely happy with. Hopefully I’ll be able to get them finished soon.

Lance Reddick as Adelard Dekker

statement: the memory of my mother was enough to help me escape a faceless crowd

statement: the memory of my grandfather as well as his kukri were enough of an anchor to help me escape the flood

John: I understand. I need to rip out my own rib

[justatiredghost]

I know Martin meant “I’m not going to let you die again” but what if John misunderstood and thought he meant “I’m not going to let you come back again”

[justatiredghost]

John lurking somewhere because he knows Martin is going to be walking through is very funny. He just misses him! So much!
