My Asexual Story, 2018.

Another little autobiographical comic I whipped together (this was drawn in like two hours tops so don’t judge the drawings lmao). To clarify, I am in a happy long-term committed relationship with a non-ace girl and we’re both very happy with our relationship, and I have never had bad experiences with relationships because of my asexuality. Being ace isn’t a big deal to me - I barely think about it - but asexuality is something that a lot of people seem to have trouble fully understanding, so I wanted to take some time to describe it the way I see it in my life and from my perspective. Every story is different - here’s mine.

[brithistorian]

Such a beautiful story. I hope this helps more people understand.

Japanese grammar: ～たち

So Japanese doesn’t really do the plural noun thing. If you really want to say “books” instead of “book” you can add a number or say “several book” or something, but mostly you just accept that 本 means some amount of book and move on with your life.

One thing that’s like English plurals is the suffix たち (達 in kanji but often just written in hiragana):

学生たち（がくせいたち） students, the students

私達（わたしたち） us (=me + たち)

猫たち（ねこたち） cats, the cats

Seems simple enough, right? But there’s a twist!

See, in English, “cats” means more than one cat, a group made entirely of cats:

ねこたち looks the same at first:

But ねこたち actually means that there’s a group, and at least one prominent member is a cat. The cat’s group. Cat and friends. Cat et al.

This is called the associative plural, and it has some quirks that English plurals don’t!

たち is mostly used on people and animals (if it’s on an inanimate object it sounds like you’re personifying it a little). It’s hard for rocks and pens to have a squad, you know?

You can use it on people’s names. Steveたち is Steve and whatever other people he’s with. Not just a bunch of people named Steve (probably).

Not 100% sure, but I feel like if I heard ねこたちはかわいいです (the cats are cute) I might think you have a specific group of cats in mind, as opposed to a blanket statement about all cats ever, like you can get with ねこはかわいいです (cats are cute, the cat is cute)

So keep that in mind if you see a  confusing たち : )
