hello. my name is kian (pronounced key-in) and i mostly interact with marine biology blogs, writeblr & blogs about tv shows i like.

i write stories. i know how to scuba dive and usually scuba dive in mayagüez, borikén at isla de mona. i love the sea and whatnot but my primary profession does have to do with neuroscience as i’m studying to be a neurologist. actually either a neurologist or a vet with a focus on exotic animals but not sure yet.

some of my favorite shows are arrested development, the x-files, ripley, succession, vice principals, the fall, the righteous gemstones, sherlock, etc.

some of my favorite movies would be the rocky horror picture show, conclave, jurassic park, they came together, and horrible bosses.

i am an avid cookie run, fnaf, resident evil, monster high & everything involving silly detectives enjoyer.

need mutuals!

tbh I really dislike how aphobia tends to be discussed whenever there's some kind of incident that makes it visible to general society. The most common response seems to be some variation of "why would anyone hate asexual/aromantic people, they aren't even doing anything" and it just always sits wrong with me. It paints such a passive picture of our existence and feels like a comment influenced by the level of invisibility that aspec people have in society. Why would you be annoyed by someone who is practically invisible? Just go back to ignoring their existence, it's easy!

But despite the invisibility, aspec people are actually doing quite a lot of things that will piss off queerphobic, right-wing and religious people (and hell, even left-wing people). And the most obvious point is that we are actively not performing heterosexuality the way they want us to. People who's entire world view is "cis men and women should be in monogamous, heterosexual marriage and have (white) babies" are not going to lean back and say "oh but those asexuals and aromantics are fine". They will also hate our guts, and they will come up with all sorts of reasons, including insinuating we're all secretly into bestiality, or mentally ill, or not human, or attention seeking children. It's just plain old queerphobia, and like all queerphobia, there's no inherent logic to it which you can worm your way out of by "not doing anything".

And like, there's a lot more that aspec people do which people hate. Raising awareness about amatonormativity? People feel attacked, they hate it. Asexual people having sex? Or not having sex? People hate it! Aromantic people being in (seemingly) romantic relationships? People fucking hate it! Aromantic people having sex? Ohh people hate that!!

I guess the existence of aphobia can be confusing when you haven't spent much time thinking about asexuality and aromanticism, but in the end, these are identities that aren't heteronormative and they will be hit with the same or similar bigotry as any other queer identity. I just get tired of this response after seeing it recycled for 10 years without ever seeming to go any further.

The best way I can describe to an allo person how you feel about sex as a topic as a sex-repulsed or averse asexual is that it feels like a hype that never ends. As though Despicable Me came out and everyone around you was sending minion facebook memes to each other for years to come. The stores are full of minion themed products; they're in ads and your friends talk about them all the time. And deep in your heart you're like "I'm glad that they're able to enjoy something I personally don't like and am not interested in :3". But there is always this little voice in the back of your head that's like "If I have to see ONE MORE of these little yellow FUCKERS today then God help us all." You make an active choice to communicate only the former.

everyone's all about queer subtext until it's aromantic or asexual

[mydonkeyfeet]

I never thought about it this way but YES! I used to read about historic figures things like "She was always writing letters to her best friend and she never married. Clearly she was a lesbian," and it always made me sad because I was always writing letters to MY best friends and never married, but I'm just aroace and really love friendship. Couldn't some of those historic singletons have been like me? But if I mentioned the possibility, usually another queer person would snap at me about how they deserved to find representation where they could. I get that, but if it a historic person's sexuality is completely unknown, can't we share the imagined representation between us? We can both claim Schrödinger's sexuality for that dead person.

[aromanticofficial]

official aromantic post

[teaandtoastandthyme]

It's so hard, right, because I understand the desire to see identities that have been oppressed and hidden so long and to finally NAME: Yes! This woman must have been a lesbian! And. also. What if they were "just" friends? When will be able to move out from under the oppression of allonormativity and the privileging of sexual or romantic relationships above friendships? Maybe she would claim the label of lesbian today. Maybe she would resonate with aro or ace or both. Maybe none of those things would fit with her experience. Let's wonder about them all.

[northern-punk-lad]

So JKR is anti asexual now to

[scribbleymark]

Wow, there's so much ace representation in media! You have

Cartoon character who is only "confirmed ace" on social media, lauded as an incredible stride in ace representation despite their orientation never actually coming up in the original piece of media.

Sad white teen in a YA novel/show realizing they're ace in a coming-of-age narrative.

Grey-ace in a dating sim/romance novel who exists to show that "aces can enjoy sex and romance, too!"

AroAce villain that the fandom will erase for shipping reasons anyway, so why even fucking bother.

"Single people are on average less healthy, less financially stable, and overall less satisfied with life than partnered and married people are. This must mean that monogamous relationships and marriage are the solution to society's problems"

Huh, it's almost like society, both socially and financially, is set up to specifically benefit people who have monogamous relationships and get married and punish people who don't partner or get married. It's almost like there are financial benefits that exist specifically to incentivize people to get married and have kids and be a nuclear family. It's almost like it was very culturally normal until very very very recently to just not have any deeper platonic relationships after you get married, meaning that single people past a certain age just get left behind and get treated as spinsters or loser bachelors. It's like life just is not designed for single people to be able to easily participate and survive while still being single. Huh, very weird. I'm sure marriage will fix this.

Thesis statement for all of USA history forever

[lilzoo]

imagine being watson's editor in the 19th century and having to beg him to write like a normal heterosexual person only for him to keep waxing poetic about holmes's long, sensitive fingers every five pages and writing shit like "his lips grazed my ear" and "i felt holmes's hand steal into mine" and "holmes's cold, thin fingers closed round my wrist". i would quit honestly

[the-bedheaded-league]

My personal headcanon is that what we’re reading IS the toned-down version, and that what Watson originally submitted to his poor editor was much gayer.

remember to take good care of yourself because that's literally your self dude. like that's you

[hardly-an-escape]

get you a guy who’s so down bad for you he can quote your senior thesis from memory

[hollowgods-deactivated20250921]

James Gunn’s thesis statement for his Superman is simple and effective: "Be good. Do good. Be human despite the bad things. That is the most punk rock thing in a world so stoic and cynical."

And that’s how it should be. That’s beautiful, the new Superman movie is beautiful.

irving b fans our finest moment but at what cost. at WHAT COST. "I'm on the fucking ice" 67 year old man trekking through the wilderness with a cunty outfit and a dream. insisting they eat the montauk monster. being heterophobic towards mark and hellyna. nearly dying of hypothermia so he can see his boyfriend one last time in a terrifying prophetic dream. being the only one to have both the intuition and conviction to confront helena and do something about it. WATERBOARDING THE CEO'S DAUGHTER. and as soon as helly's back he's pulling her close to him and apologising and holding her because he loves her and he doesn't want to hurt her and he's sorry. staring down milchick totally fearless as he's sent to his death. owning the first frame last frame of the best episode of the season so far. and now what. now he's gone. the biggest thread of mystery left without anyone to chase it. outie irv being fired for the second time this week with no idea why. he gave everything for his team and for the truth and he fucking DIED for it!!!!! his old man yaoi swag too powerful they fucking KILLED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bookpdf]

lumon's department sizes are so funny. "how many people do we need to refine some super important data?" uhhhh four i guess. at most. "what about the company marching band?" fuck ur so right. we need a company marching band with like fifty people. this is of prime importance to the lumon mission.

[grownupchangeling]

Looooool you’re so right. I figure there might be other MDR departments/refiners that don’t know of each other there?

[maive-the-sheep]

I think part of it might be all the branches of the company in different locations have their own mdr. The marching band might just travel to all the different ones.

...but with how barely duct taped together the company is, I'm not sure.

[covetedasfuck]

The “mad scientist” trope is becoming a lost art, kudos to severance for embracing it so gloriously. She shows up, she kills people, she (probably) stalks you, she steals your snacks and moves into your basement, she’ll do experimental brain surgery any time any place. And she’s kind of adorable. God bless.

[grownupchangeling]

What makes it so so good is she’s not treated as impossible to understand because she’s “crazy”. She’s just Like That but like, she makes sense

[maive-the-sheep]

They give her understanding that makes sense based upon situations and what little know of backstory. And it wasn't "oh childhood trauma"

Contextualization.
