It doesn't matter if another human being never finds me attractive again. My Betta Fish - by all rights more beautiful than a human could ever be - displays at me every day without fail; the equivalent of telling me I'm pretty.

We don't deserve pets :)

Whiplash is stepping away from the internet back into real life and realising just how many people are absolutely clueless about aro and ace identities irl :/

Heard a song lyric about fucking on a kitchen table and I started to think ‘I don’t get why people want to have sex in weird, uncomfortable places’ before remembering that I’m a sex-repulsed ace and I don’t get why people want to have sex at all.

Listen, this might just be me, but the fact that most of the songs in Julie and the Phantoms are about living your dreams and not romantic/sexual love is just STUNNING. There is AN ENTIRE SONG Julie writes and sings for her best friend. A WHOLE SONG! IT’S THE FOCUS OF THE EPISODE!

One of the most poignant songs is about a parent-child relationship! There’s romance in the show but it’s not the entire focus and other forms of love are TREATED AS IMPORTANT AND MEANINGFUL ALL ON THEIR OWN. I am STUNNED and THRILLED. Julie and the Phantoms said ARO/ACE RIGHTS.

listening to Ocean Soul again and thinking about Ace, bc... well yeah.

and I'm like ok, yeah, the way the WB pirates got Ace to join their crew was decidedly *not great*

although I think you do see a lot of fans who actually kinda vibe with it?

like for one it's faster in fiction with little to no drawbacks bc *it's fiction*,

but I was thinking about how Ace Sabo and Luffy all agreed on finding Freedom on the seas and I think they all look for different types of freedom, ya know?

specifically I'm thinking about the difference between Ace and Sabo, like if the WB pirates tried to do the same to Sabo it just. wouldn't work at ALL. he already escaped from people calling themselves his parents and I think that it would really rub Sabo the wrong way. Sabo loosing his memories, I think as a child that was freedom for him. I think if he knew what he was missing with Ace and Luffy, he would have stopped at nothing to get his memories back, and would have willingly given up that "freedom"

in that way, both Ace AND Sabo were kind of, forcefully given freedom?

and here's where it gets a bit more complicated? I think a lot of people think freedom and it's the idea that you can do whatever you want whenever you want to and either there are no consequences or they're minor or don't matter? and that sort of freedom is completely unreachable. I mean there's consequences to EVERYTHING, some good, some bad, some big, some small. but you can't be so completely independent that suddenly what you do has no effect on anything or anyone else. that's just not how things work.

Sabo, Sabo with his amnesia, is freed from the cage of his family and his life and his name. he's able to use his name (first, but no last name) without being constantly reminded of his family. I like to think the time spent with Ace and Luffy was able to rewrite some of the brain connections of his name and his family.

then, being taken in by revolutionaries gives him the *freedom* to do what I think he would have wanted to do anyway, and that's to make changes in the world and help people on a greater scale. the ASL bros all seem to naturally help people whenever, wherever, and whatever the cost. ALSO, it seems like all three of them seem to make small changes or do small deeds that reverberate outward to make bigger waves if change. (I'm talking, changing one country or one person's situation vs like, the entire world) Ace and Luffy do things just as they come? luffy especially, there's no "I'm doing this bc it's going to make these things change" he's just like, ok this is the block in front of me right now and I'm going to punch it. Ace plans a Little more. that's just how and who they are. it makes sense for Sabo as a character to take that a step further and find freedom in the revolutionary way, which is planning to make these changes and domino effect, etc. he's very big picture.

ok well I meant this to be mostly about Ace but Ace and Sabo really do go together huh.

anyway. Ace, Ace, Ace. he went to sea partially carrying Sabo's dream bc he thought he was dead.... I think, that he partially found his freedom while growing up with Luffy, because while it's sort of implied that he's searching for freedom on the seas specifically, I think for Ace, it's more that he's searching for Acceptance. he keeps going back and forth between running from his parentage, to running right towards it (asking people what they would think if the Pirate King had a kid... oh Ace...) he keeps saying IM NOT, IM NOT, IM NOT! but then asks people about it??? anyhow, Luffy offered him acceptance and unconditional love, and began to sort of loosen the "chains" of his parentage. he can't run from it as much as he tries, because it just is. but Luffy couldn't release him from it because he's just one kid! one snotty little brother!

but Whitebeard... I mean, that's one of the people that Ace thought would hate him the MOST. and for him to say it doesn't matter who Ace's parents are, and to offer unconditional love? and have it be parental love?

I mean the DIFFERENT in how Ace acts before and after joining the Whitebeard pirates? he's so relaxed? he's settled, in a sense? I mean he's certainly not the paradigm of mental health, but he's so balanced! he's still got issues but they aren't plaguing him every second of the day- he isn't worried over people finding out about who he is all the time, bc the people that matter the most know!! and they accept and love him??? acceptance and love are what gave him freedom from what he viewed as a dangerous cage and chains of his parentage, but now are just part of who he is and that's ok?? he's not attacking people and egging them on to hate him for the reasons he gives them before they can find out about his parents?

and yeah he uses a different name, but he also takes on WB's mark? And just ahdksjs parallels between that and the Sun Pirates ahdkwiwk

and he's trying to make someone else king?? like freedom doesn't mean you have to be the top dog??? putting others before yourself can be freedom???

everyone has a different meaning of freedom?????

IM CRYING ABOUT ACE IN THIS CHILI'S TONIGHT

Lyrics from Ocean Soul that give me Ace Feels(tm):

One more night to bear this nightmare

Crying for me was never worth a tear

My lonely soul is only filled with fear

Long hours of loneliness between me and the sea

Losing emotion, finding devotion

As I always wished to be - one with the waves
