Queer and part of way to many fandoms. Also I write fics so here's my masterlist: https://myrandomthoughtsblog.tumblr.com/post/664704192788742144/masterlist
Hi guyssss this is a list of characters I headcannon as having endometriosis, with little to no explanation.
Basically this is me selfprojecting and trying to stay positive after realizing my illness is affecting my whole life 🙃
I hope this gives my fellow endometriosis warriors a light at the end of the tunnel and spreads awareness towards it. Enjoy ✨️🎗
(English is not my first language so I'm sorry if there's any mistakes)
Before the headcannons: Endometriosis is a chronic and painful disease where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, it's seen as a inflammatory disease, not only as a reproductive one, and it can cause lots of issues like infertility, pain during or after sex, rashes, headaches, heavy blood flow, cramps, back pain, pelvic pain, fatigue, bloating, nausea, constipation and so much more.
Also, it's a very under diagnosed illness (although 1 in 10 people with uterus have it), because of misogyny, so it's super important to raise awareness towards it.
So if you experience something like those symptoms please talk to a gynecologist.
Now to our headcannons we go ☝️
Selina Kyle / catwoman (dc comics) - bleads so fucking much, she's super open about it (as she should) and makes Bruce throws endometriosis awareness galas (he does it willingly cause he knows how much she suffered cause of it her whole life).
Nami (one piece) - has so many headaches and the sun does not make it any easier and gets depressed from time to time knowing it won't ever go away. (Chopper promises her he will find a cure).
Lydia Martin (teen wolf) - gets super nauseated and vomits so much, especially when anxious (which is a lot considering the shit she deals with).
Momo Yaoyorozu (boku no hero) - I just know the constant use of her body makes the pain so much worse and I bet she got her period super early (suffered a lot and felt like an outsider).
Pepper Potts (marvel) - in the comics she had troubles getting pregnant so it adds up.
Jean Gray (marvel) - God knew she would be too powerful (she's anyway) without the chronic back pain.
Gwen Stacy / spider gwen (marvel) - has lots of rashes cause endometriosis made her slightly allergic to the spider bite.
Zatanna Zatara (dc comics) - gets very insecure when bloated and super annoyed when fans of her shows keep speculating she's pregnant.
Dinah Drake / black canary (dc comics) - almost became celibate because she had a lot of pain during sex before beginning her treatment (still do sometimes and Oliver is super pacient and #worriedlover).
Poison Ivy (dc comics) - got gaslighted by her doctors too many fucking times then ended up been diagnosed by Harley (ik she's a psychiatric but she did go to med school so).
Rose Wilson / ravager (dc comics) - killed way to many man that said it was just a period and she had to get over it (she's not wrong tho...)
Cassandra Cain / Orphan (dc comics) - her dad taught her how to mask her pain so deeply that she had no idea that the normal amount of pain outside your period should be non.
Clarisse La Rue (Percy Jackson) - feels like her dad's army is inside her uterus during her period, what makes her angrier and she hates it.
Yelena Belova (marvel) - she hates the red room and what they did to her, but she can't help but feel a bit thankful (yet violated) for having her uterus removed, since it lowered her symptoms and she knows it would have been hard to get it removed by doctors outside of the red room because of misogyny (she's young, does not have children and does not want any, my aroace queen = selfprojecting / kinda cannon)
Jessica Cruz / Green lantern (dc comics) - her depression is a symptom of her endometriosis (#same).
Sue Storm / Invisible woman (marvel) - also had trouble getting pregnant, still deals with it during the menopause and uses the fantastic four money to finance researchers for treatments and cure (won't rest until it's done and she advocates a lot!).
That's it. Hope you guys liked it, feel free to add more at the comments ❤️

Hey guys it's been a while right? Rn Im obsessed with the new fantastic 4 movie and with Johnny, also my period is killing me so here we are. English is not my first language so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes, I hope you guys like it!!
You were a scientist at the Baxter Building, and honestly it was your dream job, you got to work with the greatest minds in the world, one of them even being THE Reed Richards AKA Mr. Fantastic. Therefore you loved your job, you had your own very promising research and you were helping people in your own way by helping the fantastic four whenever they needed with their new gadgets, suits, upgrades to the car, etcetera, You name it. So even if your job was hard and very demanding, you loved it and was very grateful to be able to work on something you actually enjoyed, something that doesn't make getting out of bed a bourdon, so when on this morning you woke up feeling like you wanted to quit your job, destroy your research, scream at everyone and cry about everything you knew your period was here.
Your day started slow, like as if it was mocking you only cause you had an uterus, you wanted to curl in your bed and die, and as much as you could, since the Baxter Building had a very nice policy towards people that experience periods thanks to Sue Storm, you felt like you could not run from your responsibilities, even at the expense of your health, so you got up from bed, with a headache already forming, very profound dark circles on your eyes and went to get some breakfast, that's when you saw him - Johnny Storm, your loving and still pretty new but right now very annoying and headache aggravating boyfriend.
-Hey baby, slept well? Missed you last night, thought you'd come to my room you know. Johnny says with that pretty smirk that almost never leaves his face.
You just sight and keep walking, thank God you didn’t go to his place cause you bled so much through your clothes and you’d have been so fucking embarrased. He figures you're just walking up yet.
- Oh come on, not even a kiss? How can you deprive me of my reason to live hm?
In order to not keep hearing his very loud voice you just give him a quick kiss and go on your merry way hoping Johnny wouldn't follow you, besides from the anger towards your now screaming uterus, you were sad, I mean, how could your boyfriend not realise you weren't feeling great. You knew it was beyond reason to feel like this, you barely talked to him and your periods weren't exactly on a normal cycle so there was no way for him to keep track of them, but still, so now you were feeling worse, being so self aware was a curse sometimes.
Johnny does not leave you alone, he follows you to the cafeteria where you by your breakfast, follows you to your lab, that is suddlendy very bright to you, and keeps talking your ear off, what you'd normally love and engage on active conversation with him, but right now that seems to be as impossible as getting any work done.
- Did you get off on the wrong foot today? Bet it was because you didn't sleep with me last night hm? Says Johnny as smoothly as always, while hugging you.
And suddenly, as he holds you close like he normally does, you get hyper aware of the fact that you are very bloated, you move a bit and Johnny takes off his arms from you, it must be because you are bloated and he finds it disgusting you think. Also how dare he mock you “Did you get off on the wrong foot today”, you should try having period cramps, headaches, hormones going crazy and an insatiable want for sweets, you think annoyed, but you just breath deeply and keep working as if nothing was wrong.
However, Johnny knows something is wrong, you barely talked to him, did not laugh at his stupid jokes and did not call him hot stuff back, but since becoming a superhero he has the tendency of always think the worst of a situation so to be prepared, therefore the possibility of you being in your period (something that happens every single month) does not cross his mind at all. Now he's worried that you might be coming down with some super virus, or about to break up with him, I mean, the ‘subtly’ change of mood (like if two days ago you weren't crying more cause of your pre menstrual cycle) and the undoubtedly anger you had behind your eyes mixed with sadness and tiredness had to mean something awful, and even thought it was, period never once crossed Johnny’s mind.
He tried to light up the mood by putting some of your favorite songs thru the player in your lab, he knew better than to disturb you when you worked since it could cause something to explode (he'd done it multiple times), but he had to do something to cheer you up, something that would show him that you just had like a bad dream and was not getting sick from like a super bacteria that came from space or something.
The music playing made your headache worse, and Johnny was just there, sitting next to you, while on most days that would be nice and even reconforting, today that was just so fucking annoying, like if he was analazing your work, like if he was just waiting for you to do something wrong, and those very blue and beautiful eyes just piercing into the back of your skull were too much right now.
That brakes you and suddenly you cannot hide any of your anger back, how dare him make fun of you also how dare him see you only as a piece of meat, of course that was not at all what was going on right now, but your emotions were getting the best of you and you did have all the right to let them do it, you uterus felt like it was about to explode from the inside.
- Leave. You said sternly.
- Oh kinky, which part of my clothes on? Says Johnny trying to light up the mood once again.
- Go fuck yourself Storm, haven’t you’ve got anything better to do than fucking annoy myself? I'm working and here you are like any other stupid ass man trying to get into my pants. Am I anything other than a whore to you? Can't you see I am having a bad day? And you keep annoying me, keep eyeing me as if I'm not good enough. Just fucking leave before I do something I’ll regret.
Johnny leaves, he should have said something, like how come you dare think he sees you like a whore or say sorry for annoying you, he was just trying to make you feel better, but the way you screamed so unprompted and out of character at him said you needed some alone time, and now so did him to try to understand what did he do to you to make you think that. Maybe you were really about to break up with him, and maybe it was because he made you feel inferior somehow, maybe you realised you deserved more. He knew nothing anymore, he really thought your relationship was doing great….
After Johnny leaves you break down, you start to tear up because you screamed at him while he was just being him and then ended up crying waterfalls cause you definitely made Johnny doubt himself, all cause you couldn't keep your feelings in. Johnny was a good superhero, an amazing brother, a very nice uncle and incredible boyfriend, but yet somehow he'd always thought he wasn't good enough. Behind that confident persona that was Human Torch, there was an individual that was a bit insecure because of his intelligence. Of course he was intelligent, I mean, he'd gone to space, he'd helped create some of the best fantastic four costumes, he was a polyglot… But he could not help but to compare himself to the other fantastic four members and to you.
Sue was a diplomat and activist, which requires no further explanation, considering she was also a mom she was like 3 times the most incredible person ever, Ben was the greatest pilot he had ever met and an amazing chef, Reed had with no doubt the biggest IQ in the country if not more, and you were the youngest scientist of the building, having helped develop so many important things both for the Fantastic four and for the world. And in his eyes Johnny was just Johnny, as if he hadn't saved millions of lives, was able to speak multiple languages and was great with machines. But to him now he was the guy that wasn't even smart enough to figure his girlfriend was losing interest in him due to something he did, though he wasn't even sure what.
And you were devastated, not only had your period destroyed you, you allowed it to rub it off to Johnny, who had nothing to do with it and was just trying to help. The crying made your headache worse, and that somehow made your cramps even worse, which gave you back pain. You tried to go back to work, you really did, but now you felt depressed and everything hurt, as if your body was mocking you for being a bad girlfriend, so you got the rest of your strength, organized your lab, went back to your room and sent an email to Reed saying you couldn't attend work due to your period. You felt like you should go talk to Johnny, you knew he would understand, he was a great boyfriend, but the hidden fear laced with insecurity that we might act like your previous boyfriends (distant, disgusted, mockingly...) prevented you from doing so. Of course you had talked to Johnny about your period like normal adults do, but this was your first lash out, first time in the sort of still new relationship where your period was so strong that it made you miserable.
Back to Johnny, he was still confused, it was not your first fight, but most of the time he was the hot headed one in the relationship, so what was going on with you? After some time wondering and dropping random infos to Franklin who was playing with his toys in the living room with H.E.R.B.I.E, everything suddenly made so much sense.
- You know little guy your mum would be like this sometimes, screaming at me whenever she felt like it. Said Johnny pretending to eat Franklin’s arm just to see his nephew laugh.
- Sure most of the time I did deserve it, like when I stormed into her pajama party only to flirt with her best friend, or when I would playfully shove her when I didn't know she was on her period so -
- Wait? Is that it? Johnny gets up and goes to check up the calendar next to the refrigerator.
Last month he remembers buying you that strawberry chocolate you loved so much it made you cry, and something similar had happened the month before, but nothing in this one.
It is so comical for him that he thought you were going to break up with him or that you were coming down with a deadly disease only to find out you are on your period, not in a way that this is to be overlooked, but in the way that it's something he can help you with. Johnny kisses his nephew’s chubby cheeks in a ‘thank you for being smart” way like if Franklin had been the one to tell what was going on with you and left towards the small market close by to the Baxter Building.
He got what he taught was the essentials, what he used to get Sue when she needed some extra comfort after their mother died. Four types of chocolate, your favorite chips, some ice tea, painkillers, a cute plushy that so happened to be the Human Torch (you had like six different Human Torch plushies by now, but you loved them all), a mix of red fruits and some nuts. He also got five different types of pads considering since you'd never let him help you during this time of the month “I’m fine hot stuff don’t worry about me, no need to run to the store”, he had no idea of what pad you liked.
Some time later, after 3 painkillers, lots of crying, binge eating the rest of the chocolate you had and a not so good nap, you hear a knock on your door. You wanted to die when you heard the soft “you up baby?” coming from the other side, there was no way you'd let Johnny see you in this awful state, hair messy, puffy eyes from crying, bloated, wearing the ugliest shirt you had and looking like you got hit by a truck, but the thought of leaving him outside your place after screaming with him that earlier felt way to mean.
- Johnny, what are you doing here? You say sounding more annoyed than you wanted to when you opened the door.
- I came bearing goods and a very hot hug. He says smiling softly.
You wanted to punch Johnny, actually, for the “hot hug” pun, but his cute smile and the tiny Human Torch plush sitting in his arms made that a bit hard.
- It's okay if you want space right now baby, but I thought some chocolate might cheer you up, you really liked this one last month.
So that's when you know he figures you are on your period, and he's being so sweet that you almost forget your fear of him being like your exes and allow him in. You feel a bit off, like if Johnny hadn't been in your room so many times already, but before you can feel weirder, he shows you everything he bought and you just sort of melt. How dare he be this cute?
- Also I know you haven’t eaten cause H.E.R.B.I.E told me you've been here since forever so I've also brought this.
Johnny gets a plate of your favorite food from H.E.R.B.I.E’s hands and pats his tiny robot head.
- And no worries cause I bagged Ben to make this so I’m sure it's amazing. Come on sweet thing lets get you in bed so you can eat comfortably.
You just blink and do as he says, you've never had anyone do this to you, mostly because of your shitty exes that would prefer to distance themselves from you during your period, later you figured that if they couldn't have sex with you why bother with nice acts. So then you just got scared Johnny would be the same and scared he might see your want for more affection those times of the month like a sign of weakness. But seeing him beeing so fucking sweet to you made you realise the obvious, this is Johnny, not one of your dumb exes.
The food is so good and in pair with the cold ice tea he brought your stomach is in heaven. The tiny Human Torch plush sits in your lap while you eat and the big Human Torch man sits right next to you, tracing random and calming patterns into your thigh, Johnny looks at you with so much love in his eyes. After you finish the food and make a mental note to thank Ben later, you shyly thank Johnny.
- No need to say thanks baby, I’m here to take care of you. Want some chocolate now? He says so fucking sweet, the usual smirk and playful eyes no where to be seen, replaced by a soft smile and conforting eyes.
You melted even more and could no longer hold your feelings in. You started to cry and hugged Johnny close.
- I’m sorry for lashing out on you today, and for making you take care of me when I'm like this.
- Oh baby there’s no need to cry, I bet you were overstimulated earlier, and there's nothing I love more than taking care of you.
- But I was so mean today.
- No biggie sweets, you think Sue wasn't a pain in my ass when she was on her period? That was nothing, don't worry. Says Johnny playful trying to light up the mood as he plays with your hair to calm you and he genuinely does not remember what he thought was going on before figuring you were on your period.
You start to calm down and detach from the hug in order to get some chocolate to help you relax more, and Johnny just looks at you with affection while holding you close without suffocating you.
- I've got to ask tho, why didn't you tell me what was going on? I would have been less annoying and I'd have brought you chocolate earlier.
- I didn't want to bother you. You say a bit embarrassed.
- You could never bother me. Says Johnny and you feel the truth in his words and feather-like touches.
- Also my exes weren't really good to me when I was on my period. I know you are not one of them but I kinda got worried you might react the same and make me feel worse, I don't know, it’s stupid really. I just don't like the idea of someone finding me weak. I mean, you are a superhero, and I'm just a normal girl that cannot keep her emotions in order once a month. You say avoiding his eyes while you eat a cookies and cream chocolate.
You feel Johnny’s hand that’s rubbing circles on your arm heat up a bit more than normal, and he bumbles something like “fuck those idiots” before taking your face into his hands and making you look into his very sweet eyes.
- I would never pull away from you or do whatever those assholes did to you, how could I? You are one of the best things that have ever happened to me. And why would I ever find you weak baby? You are one of the most intelligent people I know, you work every single day with dangerous stuff that could explode and kill you or intoxicate you and you love it. How could I think that someone so sweet, caring and determined was weak? Love, you are in pain, there's like literal blood coming out of you there's no way you'd feel normal, but that doesn't make you weak, it makes you human, like anyone else, and I might light up on fire and stuff, but I'm still human too.
You feel yourself crying again, but now it’s from happiness, it’s from the feeling of been loved and seen and its so fucking sweet, gosh what did you do to deserve Johnny? And to make it even better, your boyfriend gets that those are happy tears, he just gives you a peck on the lips, dries your tears while saying you could let out everything you wanted and held you close, so close it warmed you up inside and it had nothing to do with his abnormal body heat.
- Also, after Sue got her powers and I pissed her off one day she was on her period she gave me a very physical idea of what is a period cramp and let’s just say I did not handle it well so I kinda have an idea of what you’re feeling. Johnny says, smiling at the painful but now funny memory.
And for the first time today you feel yourself laughing, and it's pretty nice.
- Thank you Johnny, really, and next time I'm not feeling okay I'll tell you.
He nods into the hug you guys are sharing and suddenly the thought you could be about to break up with him sounds so distant and so ridiculous it ends up being funny.
You two spend some lovely time together, Johnny puts your favorite movie on the TV and just cuddles you while massaging your scalp and faintly laughing at the conversations on the screen. Some time later when you complain about a headache, Johnny makes you a soothing hot tea with his hands and looks over to you with nothing more than love, no judgment to be seen. After you finish it he suggests you take a shower. “Hot baths help to reduce headaches, sweet thing”.
You sigh into the pillows saying you definitely don't feel like leaving the bed and getting out of his embrace, and that's when you see another side of Johnny.
- But who said you're getting away from me hm? Says Johnny playful tho very honest. And you just get stiff
Johnny wanted to shower with you. Did he forget you were in your period? Was he crazy? Or did he think you had like a super light flow?
- Johnny, baby, you don't have to.
- I know, but I want to
- It's disgusting, I'm bleeding rebember?
- So? Come on love, I'm the human torch, do you really think some blood is going to scare me?
Tho you know It's more than some blood...
- Johnny, you sigh, you really don't have to, okay?
You say worried he might go just to prove he can deal with it, only to be disgusted by what he sees, plus, your exes wouldn't be close to you on your period so this is completely new territory to you.
- Baby I really don’t mind, it’s just blood, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, it's normal. But if you don't want me to go, I won’t, no pressure, I just want to make you feel comfortable, and we both know I do a nice back massage. He laughs a bit, but he's not making fun of you, he just finds cute how much you are worried about him, and you laugh a bit too, his back massage is really good.
You ponder a bit, you knew Johnny would never do anything to make you uncomfortable, and you craved his touch now more than ever, so you nodded yes, a shyly and worried about doing something new yes, but non the less it was a yes, and it made Johnny so happy, you trusted him so much.
He gets out of bed first, tells you to go to the bathroom while he gets you some new clothes, and some for him too, he sets them up on the bathroom counter with a pad right next to it. Johnny also lights up some scented candles, puts up a very relaxing song and dim the lights, everything just to make you feel better, it's so sweet that you feel like crying one more time, but the image of your very sexy boyfriend taking off his shirt stops you from.
You definitely stare more than you should cause Johnny laughs a bit and comes, now shirtless, towards you.
- I feel like you are wearing too much clothes. He says cheekily.
Your cheeks get red, but you take off your shirt anyway, after goes the rest of your clothes and the rest of Johnny clothes too, and now he's the one that can't help but stare.
- Gosh youre so fucking beautiful.
You two enter the shower and the hot water falling onto you together with Johnny’s hot (in both ways) arms holding you definitely makes you feel better, more relaxed, and the feeling that you were useless today since you left work earlier goes away. Some blood falls onto the shower floor, and while you get hyper aware of that, Johnny pays no mind to it, too busy massaging your shoulders, that relaxes you even more, guess a superhero definitely sees more blood when fighting a villain than when showering with his girlfriend while she's on her period.
Johnny genuinely finds it funny that you were so worried about the blood, I mean, how could he pay attention to a bit of blood coming out of you in a normal, not “she's hurt” way when he had his gorgeous girl naked right in his arms.
- If I ever say no to showering with you please kill me, that's a clone, a very crazy one. Johnny says while passing soap in your body. And you smile at that now knowing that is definitely true.
The shower goes well, he gets you clean, massages your back and neck with an oil that smells like almonds, you get to clean him too and he holds you close just so you can “soak in the warm”. The whole vibe of the moment is sweet and tender, nothing but love, some occasional handsy moments, but nothing too serious. Johnny just couldn't help himself when it came to you, and to be honest, neither could you when it came to him.
After you are both clean and feeling nice, you two step out of the shower, Johnny dries you with a very big and soft towel, then helps you get dressed, he's got you into your favorite t-shirt, which just happens to be Johnny’s old AC/DC shirt. When you are done, dressed and using your most comfortable pad, he pecks you in the cheek and goes to your room while you finish your skin care. When you finished it and followed him to the room he'd settled Stardew Valley on the tv, turned off the lights and got his switch. You don't think twice before joining him.
You both love videogames, Johnny enjoys more adrenaline ones, with fast cars or guns or (especially) space, but he loved the way your eyes lighted when you got to take care of your farm with him even more.
You get cozy next to him and start the game.
- Thank you Johnny, this meant a lot to me. You say calmly after the very relaxing shower.
- I'm just glad I get to be here for you. Says Johnny smiling. Also dont kill me for saying this but if I wasn’t one to skip showering with you then, now you are cooked cause your tits get a bit bigger when you are on your period and it’s fucking hot. He says with that annoying smirk of his.
- Johnny -
You could say you were shocked he said that, but let's be honest, it's Johnny, nothing he could say could shock you anymore.
- It's true, don't blame me for dating the hottest girl ever, hm. He kisses the corner of your lips while harvesting pumpkins.
That’s when you realise there's no place you'd rather be.
A couple of days in Stardew Valley passed and you started to feel that horrible and well known lower abdomen pain. Of course cramps had come to ruin your perfect good night.
- Love, I don’t feel like playing anymore, my uterus is trying to assassinate me. Pass me the painkiller please.
- Shit baby, you good? Need something else? Says Johnny passing you a pill with a water bottle.
- Could you just heat this up for me please? You say while giving him your heating pad and curling into a ball while cursing your cramps.
Johnny dramatically sights.
- Sweetheart, honestly how dare you. He says with a playful smirk in his lips.
- I'm sorry, what? You say genuinely confused and in pain.
- How dare you make this squid, says Johnny looking over to the heat pad in his hands, steal my job? I beg your pardon but I am a walking heating pad.
You laughed so hard, Johnny looked so cute sort of fighting with your heating squid that you thought you were going to pee in your pants, but before you could say anything you felt your boyfriend’s hand over your lower abdomen, and oh God it felt great.
It felt so fucking better then the heating pad, it was hot in the perfect way, had the perfect pressure, drawed soothing circles into your skin and was charming as hell. You couldn't help but to melt into his touch and moan a bit.
- See, I don't think that ugly squid makes you sound so pretty does he? Johnny says smirking with that annoying yet way more sexy than it should be smirk.
- I love you so fucking much right now.
- Love you more.
You turn over to him and kiss him, Johnny sighs into the kiss, being your heating pad felt too domestic, and it got him feeling some type of way, he asks for permission with his tongue and you allow it. Johnny deepens the kiss and you follow him, tugging the nape of his hair just the way he likes it and with the hand that's not in your lower abdomen, he holds your waist with enough pressure to make you moan, Johnny smiles into the kiss and keeps you close to him, but before things could develop to something else, you break the kiss, your cramps were still piercing your uterus.
Johnny ends up sitting behind you, one hand hot in the perfect way in your lower abdomen to chase away your cramps, and the other drawing random patterns into your leg. You let your head fall into his naked chest while you played with his fingers and tried to find something relaxing to watch, it was getting pretty late but you weren't tired yet. When you do find something nice to watch you pick up the new Human Torch plushy you just got and holded it. Johnny used to say they never got his hair right, but in your eyes, the tiny Johnny looked just like the big one, except the big one had amazing hot hands that hugged your belly perfectly and worked better than any heating pad would ever so to make your cramps go away.
Some minutes into the movie you chose and some sips of water Johnny made you drink later you fell asleep holding two human torches, I mean, how could you not when you had the best night ever plus a loving and handsome boyfriend with a very warm hand. And right now Johnny smelled so good, that after shower smell laced with love and the faint smell of smoke that lever quite leaves him, he smelled like home. Just before you could enter dreamland you mumbled a sleepy thank you baby, I love you, and that's when Johnny knew he would not die without marrying you.
He said he loved you back, kissed your head and had to calm himself down when the sight of you sleeping in his arms made both his inside and outside hotter. Sure he was good when it came to having control of his powers, but you made him lose it more than he should, this was definitely not the first time he felt his eyes turning red and his hair getting a bit of flames when he was with you, you just made him feel so loved, so appreciated that all his self control left the room for a bit.
Johnny calmed down and turned off the TV, then he laid properly down and repositioned you so you'd be cuddling and comfortable, all without taking his hand from your lower abdomen. He then put the covers over you two, and before going to sleep with you he lights up his hand only to be able to find his phone and get it to take a picture of his loving girl holding her newest Human Torch plushy, that had to be the best part of being a superhero, have your significant other hold a tiny you.
After getting settled down with you, Johnny kisses your shoulder blade, mumbles a “I love you”, holds you close and off to dreamland he is, happily knowing that his girl is happy right next to him.
My bestfriend is allo and she loves romance, in media, in her life and the list goes on. When I found out I'm aroace I was kinda nervous to come out to her cause while I knew she would always support me, I didn't really know how she would react cuz besides being allo she's also straight and cis.
When I told her she was super nice with me and everything, she said that it lowkey made sense because growing up I never really liked romance. Now she always lets me talk about my queer experience even when she has no clue about what I'm saying.
Besides being very respectful and all of that, one of the most incredible things she does is always ask me how I'm feeling about romance or sex before telling me something regarding this because she knows I'm kinda repulsed by it and can and up having bad reactions to such thing.
Also during the talk she checks on me to see if I still can deal with this conversation or if we should change the topic for some time and if she's seending me a message about those topics she always writes things like don't read this now if you are feeling repulsed.
And if I'm indeed feeling repulsed I just tell her that and go read her messages and yk talk with her about it normally when I'm feeling okay to do so and this is 100% fine with her.
For me this is genuine the most amazing thing ever like does she really undestand my aroace identity? No. But not only is she super respectful, she also goes out of her way to make sure I'm fine.
This is what true friendship is. Her conversations that are about romance/sex aren't less important to me because I'm aroace and my thoughts regarding those things are not any less important to her cuz she's allo.
Every aroace deserves a friend like mine and I fucking love her so much fr.
I finally had my first kiss, cuz since I know I'm bisexual aroace I fully understand myself now, so I was for the first time in life comfortable in my own skin and soul to make out with someone because now everything feels right knowing who I am, what I like and what I don't like.
I've never felt the need to kiss but i wanted to, so being able to and enjoying it while knowing exactly just who I am is so peaceful so free.
I feel like I can finally express myself and simply be me because now I know who I am, I know me, I'm not trapped somewhere I didn't know while I didn't even know that I was trapped.
I'm truly proud of myself for coming so far in my self-discovery adventure, and I hope you guys can do the same and feel just as much happiness and pride as I'm feeling.
Also don't let labels define you, they are here to help you describe yourself and not to mold you.
I like playing a fun game called: "Is This A Crush, (In Which Case I'm Lying About Being Aroace), Aesthetic Attraction, Gender Envy, Or Very Strong Platonic Attraction (Wanting To Be In A QPR With Them)?"
Being Aromantic is so powerful. We're redefining the meaning of love, people's perceptions of love, the importance of it, the many kinds of it and the value of it in society.
